STOCK HITS SkIDS
AT GLEN MILLER'S
SCALES LAST week

The past week was one OF nervous
tension to both farmers and specula
tors, whether In grain or live stock
Cattle and hogs advanced the first two
days Of the week. only to break heavily
after Thursday Grain went to pieces,
corn breaking from high OF $1.37 on
Wednesday. TO a low of $1.20 on Satur-
day. for September. or practically cash
delivery. December and May corn sold
under 81 from Thursday on. the range
on the week being from $1.08A to 93A
for low on December, from Monday to
Saturday.
Hogs and cattle suffered from this
break, everywhere, owing to a feeling
that liquidation in general prices were
under way and that live stock could
hardly advance, in the face Of so much
pressure, no matter what trend the
market may take later on. The coun-
try feels that live stock is low en-
ough, and has been, even at recent top
prices While there are many pessi-
mists as to this, there are also men
who are looking for a considerable ad-
vance, especially in hogs, before snow
, flies.
Week at Glen Miller.
Receipts at the local stock yards last
week were fairly heavy, in view of the
break in prices. Over 500 hogs came
in and 81 head Of cattle, SO calves and
lambs went over the scales. Feals
and lambs are pretty we'll cleaned up
for the season in this section, and re-
ceipts have been dropping for some
time.
Owing to the break in grain prices"
said Rome Shurley, hogs lost from 90
cents to 81 during the week, best hogs
selling at $3.50 on Saturday, against
SIT a week ago. Cattle were also off
about the same amount, while calves
wound up the week from $3.50 to So
| down, surprising as that may seem.
| Some veals sold at from 81 to IS while
the very best coming in, made top of
but s14 at the weekend, with good
lambs at Sc to IS per hundred"
