live STOCK
TAKES TUMBLE
CATTLE, HOGS AND SHEEP ALL
SHARE IN DECLINE OF
PRICE.
Lighter Demand for Dressed Product
a cause-AIso, Liberal Receipts and
Money Stringency Are Suggested as
Contributing Influences.

Chicago.-The live stock market the
last few days has been a series Of
slumps. Cattle are selling all the way
from SOC to $3.50 lower, when fat
steers sold at the seasons best levels
The recently prosperous hog market
was lifted on q set of Well-greaSed
skids, most of the business being on q
SOC lower level than the high time
the preceding session. A run of $1,000
sheep and lambs in two days has lit
orally paralyzed that branch of the
trade, prices declining as much as 81
and SO on the bulk from the weeks
best levels. Liberal receipts, money
stringency and declining markets for
the dressed product have been trim
ity of influences causing the collapse
ketS, ard the approaching holiday, to
be observed by the closing of the Chi
cago market, has done the trade no
good, as it has restricted demand on
shipping account for live stock that
would reach it's destination at seaboard
points around the holiday period.
Good to best corn-fed yearlings have
suffered least in decline in fat steer
cattle values that measures from SOC
to SIPS per cwt. from last weeks
closing prices. The break on most of
the steer offerings, from trashy light
grass stock up to the best heavy bull
locks, desirable yearlings excepted,
will average about 81.
Receipts at Chicago for the first four
days of the week increased more than
10000 head compared with like period
last week. The run came freighted
with good and choice cOrn-fed cattle,
and such bore the brunt Of declines
effected early in the week, subsequent
ly, however, such grades recovered
slightly from the mid-week low spot,
while common and grassy cattle work
ed still lower, the arrival Of several
trains of Southwestern grassers accel-
Grated the downward trend of values
on the cheaper grades of native stock.
The slump on choice cOrn-fed cattle is
looked upon as temporary as 1t is not
believed that normal supply of such
stock remains in the country and $18
cattle before the close Of the current
month is looked upon with reasonable
surety. On the other hand there will
doubtless be plenty of grass fat and
warmed-up stock to meet requirements
right along, especially If the money sit
uation continues as tight as at present.

FOREIGN INTERESTS WARNED
Told BY Benson to Avoid Interior
ence With Merchant Ma
rne Plan.

MISUNDERSTANDING foreign in
terests not to attempt interference
with the development of the Ameri-
can merchant marine, William s. Ben
son, chairman of the Shipping Board,
declared that the board was deter
mined to build an American mer-
chant marine, as contemplated By the
Jones shipping act, despite threats
and propaganda by such interests to
defeat the law.
"The United States" said Admiral
Benson, lis in earnest in its efforts TO
place within the ownership by United
States citizens the control of at least
a part of it's traffic in imports and eN-
ports. If it, by any possible means,
should be held that the departments
of the Government lack such author
ity as will insure their being able to
protect American interests in such
control, additional authority will be
asked for by the Administration and
undoubtedly will be granted by Con-
gress.
"Foreign carriers and those in the
United States interested more in for
eign than American institutions will
do well to let sleeping dogs lie"
Admiral Benson's warning was
sounded in talk to representatives
of Pacific Coast Chambers Of Com
merce and trade bodies and American
railroads, who have been disturbed by
threats Of foreign carriers to divert
business from American ports on the
Pacific Coast because Of the sectio'
of the merchant marine act permit
ting a preferential rate over carriers
within the United States on merchan-
disc moving in export and import in
American vessels. Such a threat, the
chairman said, is futile and idle"
IF such a threat is sincere and the
attempt is made to so divert bust
ness" Admiral Benson continued,
"the shipping board will allocate
American ships to move the business.
The shipping board and the Interstate
Commerce Commission will follow this
action by other steps which would
protect further the interests of the
United States against such foreign
efforts to defeat the purposes of the
merchant marine act"

RAILROADS CLAIM They
need ENORMOUS sum
To Advance Their Income to Six Per

Washington, July 12.-In presenting
their application for freight rate in
creases, the railroads have contended
before the Interstate Commerce Com

Shippers and state commissions

application.
Passenger rates, the carriers pro-

their program Of advances, applicable

count any wage increases made by the
railroad labor board.
The advances as proposed were;
Eastern roads - 30.4 per cent, to
yield an advance In all revenues OF
21.1 per cent, or $544,000,000.
Western roads -23.9 per cent. to ad-
