LIVE STOCK MARKET
DEVELOPS STRENGTH
All Branches Show Benefit Of Good
Demand-Trade in Pork
and Lard.

UNION STOCK YARDS, CHICAGO,
ILL.,, September IA Especially -
Strength was the feature in the live
stock trade today, and all branches
showed the benefit of good demand.
Buyers of choice cattle still refused to
go above $lS for fed steers, but hogs
went to $3.50, new top for the year.
Some time ago statement was given
in the papers to the effect that the
Department of Agriculture had issued
an appeal to American housewives to
take advantage of the War Depart
ment's sale Of canned meats. The de-
partment now corrects this report and
states that no public appeal on the
subject has been issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture While the
trade in pork and lard did not show
large volume today. a stronger un-
dertone was general for the live hogs
Receipts of the Day.
Receipts were estimated at 1900
cattle, 10000 hogs, 1900 sheep and
5000 calves.
Choice steers were strong but $500
was the high point. Medium and
palmer sorts Of cattle found a good
outlet, however, and the trade had a
good undertone Cows and heifers sold
fully steady. Demand for calves was a
little slow at times, but big killers
paid 17.25a17.50 for good stuff, while
prime veal calves went to outsiders
at $500.
Hogs sold mostly 15a25 higher at
the start. but values were up 25 for
all grades later in the session, and
top butchers showed the full gain,
going at 1870. while little sold below
1900.
Lamb Prices Up.
Lambs were up 25 in most cases
With some spots an advance of 40
was quoted. Choice western lambs
sold at 14.o0a14.25, with top natives
placed at 13.25a13.75. Aged muttons
sold at strong values.
Receipts of live stock for the week
thus far stand: 1888 cattle. 1882
hogs. 1.965 sheep. against 24,4S6
cattle, 3L.s97 hogs. 27.S52 sheep the
same period last week, and 37.155

BIG BREAK IN GRAIN
FEATURE OF MARKET

CHICAGO. ILL.,. September IA tspe-
occurred today, largely the result of
an overbought condition. The market
was inflated, SO to speak, inasmuch
as the buying had been persistent for
week or more and the company on
the long side became too much for the
original bulls to stand for The news
this morning was almost entirely of
bearish character. Buenos Aires
closed liz lower because of heavy
rains, while sterling exchange weak
ened to 3.4S. Later it was reported that
seaboard exporters had received or
ders from their European clients to
withdraw from the market. Cash
wheat was cents lower. Shipping
we're light. The market closed ~ to

Trading in Oats of Fair Volume.
Trade in oats was of fair volume
and the weakness in other markets
exerted a depressing influence. Cash
premiums were quarter cent better
than yesterday, but sales of spot oats
were at l cent loss. Shipping sales
were $1,000 bushels. The market
closed 1ka2ls lower-September. 61a

There was persistent buying of pro-
visions by cash interests, and this
gave prices a good advance early.
The break in grains induced some
selling later. but only part of the
early advance was lost. Pork closed
80 up. lard. 10 to 271a higher, and
ribs advanced 10.

GRANDMOTHER NOT so SLOW
Possibly Less "FIip" Than the Maidens
OF Today, but She Seemed to
Get There.

Grandma disdained the first aids to
beauty-powder, rouge, eyebrow PEN
Gil and eyelash lotion.
She acknowledged before the world
that she had ears. She exposed them
to view. @
She attended church regularly. She
knew nothing of theaters, movies and
chewing gum. =
She danced the minuet with men
she knew. She would have been horri-
fed with the primrose dance, the hula
and the shimmie.
She wore high necks and long
sleeves, both trimmed with lace. She
would have considered the sash and
shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
peeped in and out like tiny mice, we
are told. She would have been scan
dalized by the knee-high skirt, the
sheer hose and the low shoes of the
present mode.
She gave no thought of career, the
vote or the great question of the day.
And yet '..-
She knew what to do when grand
father came along.-Judge.

TREES GIVE MlLKLIKE JUICE
Tropics Provide Pretty Fair substi.
tute for the Animal Product In
Use In Northern Chimes.

In British Guiana and the West
Indies, particularly on the banks of
the River Demerara, there grows a
tree known to the natives as the hya-
hya, which yields from its bark and
pith a juice slightly richer and
thicker than cows milk. The tree is
about forty feet high and eighteen
inches in circumference when full
grown, and the natives use its juice
as we use milk, 1t being perfectly
harmless and mixing well with water.
The Cingalese have a tree-they
call it riaghuma-which yields a
fluid in all respects like milk; while
in the forests of Para grows a tree
called the massenodendron, which
gives a milklike juice. 1t can be kept
for an indefinite time and shows no
tendency to become sour.
On the other hand, certain trees in
the valleys of Aragua and in Cauagua
yield a similar fluid. which. when ex-
posed to the air, begins to form into
kind of cheese, which very soon
becomes sour.
In the Canary Islands there is
tree called tabaya dolce, of which the
milk, thickened into a jelly, Is con-
sidered a delicacy.

crying out for his daughter-the cry

lest gentleness should be mistaken for
weakness, he clothed his real feelings
