BEST GRADE LIVE STOCK
IN DEMAND; PRICES VARY

UNION sToCKYARDs. Chicago.
Ills, September 1.--Top steers went to
$500 today. establishing a new rec
ord for the year. Quality was again
were hard to sell at a decline of %
cents, yet the best sorts were in &C
tive demand. This again proves the
lack of strictly prime cattle ready for
market.
The general market for cows and
heifers showed a decline of more than
80 cents for the week, with no sign
of improvement for the balance of the
period. Sheep trade was dull, and val
ues lower for killing stock. while feed
ere held about steady. Country buy
ers are still willing to pay 1890 for
thin lambs, or nearly as much as can
be obtained for good killers.
Record Of Receipts
/ Receipts of live stock today were
estimated at 1900 cattle. $4,000 hogs,
| 80, 900 sheep and 1000 calves.
Cattle trade was uneven. Best
steers were fully steady. with fair
number at 1900 and better. but me-
dunn sorts were down rs. and even at
the decline the trade was slow. Cows
and heifers of best grade sold steady,
but other lots were weak to rs lower.
Small killers paid 1900 for choice veal
calves and this end of the trade was
steady.
Hog market started strong to a
dime higher, but demand fell off. and
closing trade was no better than
! steady. Top hogs brought 1915 at the
start, but the best went at 1900 at
the close. Pigs were strong to rs
higher. with heavy lots at 15.00a15.50.
| Lambs sold slowly. and values were
mostly % lower. Some spots showed
more decline late in the day Top ma
tives went at 1880. while the best
westerns were quoted at 13.50a14.00.
Feeding lambs held about steady,
while aged killing stock was weak.

decline IN SUGAR
| IS TOPIC OF MARKET
Dealers Discussing Whether or Not
Further Breaks Are
Probable.

NEW YORK. September Whether
the price of sugar, after its quick de-
cline of last week. has reached bottom
or is due for further drops was the
subject Of conjecture here today among
dealers, some of whom are said to
stand to lose heavily if additional
breaks occur.
ion among traders was that many
heavy losses were not to be expected.
All agreed that profits would be ma
terially curtailed. and in some cases
would have to be foregone completely
to avoid more serious consequences
should lessened demand force the mar
ket still lower.
"Bottom Fell Out" Dealer Says
The bottom fell out of the market"
one large dealer said today, shortly
after the demand for domestic con-
sumption and export failed to absorb
huge quantities of sugar which poured
in from nearly every country. including
China. Japan and central European
points. such as the Balkans and
Czechoslovakia.
fined sugar the price gravitated rapidly
to IT. with frequent offerings at Is cents
from spectators who feared the end Of
the decline had not been reached.
One refinery yielded to continued pres
sure. cutting to 16 cents for fine granu-
lated. or a cent under other refineries
and about s cents below highest prices
of the summer. The best bid for Cuban
raw sugar was 8 cents. cost and freight.
The early summer high for the same
commodity was % cents.
Runor of Failures Secuted.
Most sugar dealers secuted the idea
that failures on a large scale woQd re-
suit from the break. A general unset
Ting Of the grocery trade with a return
to profit scales of two years ago would

was predicted.
One authority on the sugar trade ex-
pressed the opinion that before long re-
tailers would be forced to limit profits
to less than a cent a pound.
Sugar has never normally been re-
garded as a profitable line" this au-
thority said. las a result of the short
age, with it's increased demand for
sugar, however. dealers have gotten
away from this principle. Now that
supply exceeds demand again, they must
necessarily get back to old standards ="
One factor which contributed to the
sudden drop in prices has been expecta-
ton Of an unusually good sugar beet
crop. 1t was stated.

Union Pacific and Canadian
Pacific Recover Most of
Dividends.
BY STUART r. WEST.

NEW YORK. September / Especially.
Again today on the stock exchange
it was a case of selling the industrialS
and buying the rails
Railway stocks, both the old line dlvi-
dend payers and the low priced purely
speculative issues made a number OF
new high records.
Industrials, while for the most part
they did not go down much, were con-
sistently heavy and there were the usu-
al variety of weak spots in individual
issues.
The vitality of the market for the
rails was illustrated in the way that
Union Pacific promptly made up most
Of the dividend which came off the
price of the stock this morning, while
Canadian Pacific, which went ex-divi-
dend yesterday, did virtually the same
thing.
Such achievements have not been re-
corded since the old days of the rail-
way bull markets ten years ago.
The origin of the selling in the in
dustrials was a subject of much De
bate, those working on the bear side
contending that important interests
were selling out their industrials and
putting their money into the railway
stocks Little real evidence could be
found, however, in support OF TINS
view 1t looked IS if the selling in

trade position is weak and in which
this weakness has not yet been fully
reflected by the decline in prices. was
coming from professionals and small
outside spectators who were hedg-
ing themselves meanwhile by buy
ing the rails.
In other words. the motors, some
of the tire shares, one or two of the
sugars and few other specialtles were
definitely weak. while in the rest of the
inductrial section the selling was unim-
portant and it's eects equally important.
Fries Advance.
The buying which has pushed Erie
common across Is and the preferred
stocks into higher ground is based on
the idea that one of the big roads will
eventually absorb the Erie. Those
who have been picking up the stock
are authority for the statement that
at least two big roads are known to
have an eye on the Erie. feeling that
the position of that road would be of
great help to a larger system.
The Erie terminals could be used to
great advantage by these two big
roads, and since the new railroad law
permits consolidation and knocks out
the Sherman antitrust law it can
readily be seen that such a contin-
gency as the control of the Erie pass
ing is not out of the question.
f. H. Hartman was heard to re-
mark at one time that he would
gladly give 100000. 900 for control of
the Erie, but his death soon after this
remark put an end to any plans viii CHI
were then under way. Now. however.
control of the road could be pur-
chased for much less in the open
market.

SOME PROF|T-TAK|NG
IN NEW YORK BONDS

NEW YORK, September 1 Especially.
Bond prices moved with more ir-
regularity today than in previous
sessions. There was some inclina-
tion to take profits in issues that have
had a very sharp rise during the last
week, but the losses which occurred
as the result of this selling were
trifing.
Baltimore and Ohio bonds seemed
for the time being to have reached
their high. The convertible AIS,
which in less than a fortnight went
point to $50. Chesapeake and Ohio
convertible IS. which have been one
of the favorites in the convertible
group. were also off a fraction. New
York Central debenture 6s. which got
to 901s yesterday. receded to so.
But. on the other hand, the St. Louis
and San Francisco issues continued
their remarkable rise. the income ad-
vancing another three-quarters of a
point to 552. The prior lien AS were
unchanged at 80. but the Bs were
strong at 20.
Seaboard Air Line adjustments were
in demand around 80. while Southern
Railway IS were a half point off at
SEA
The Missouri Pacific Is were un-
changed at $50. but the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois As jumped another
point to 81. at which figure they were
up ten points from their low of a
fortnight ago.
Peoria and Eastern incomes. which
have been selling for some time
around %. began to get busy and
reached 25. These bonds have been
under absorption for some time.
Equipment bonds We're generally I'M
changed, with some activity in the
Pennsylvania Is at 1923. and the
Louisville as at around 10l Is.
There was no change of consequence
in the government division. Liberty
third loan ~, rose across IS for the
first time in several weeks. and the
other issues were similarly better.
Japanese As. on the other hand. were
off point to 81 ~.
European government bonds were
substantially the same as on the last
two or three previous days.
