Large supplies of horses and mules

at fully steady prices. Demand was

LENDS HOME
FOR FILM SCENE
HOME

Not often can the public take good
long look at the interior of the homes
of wealthy society folk. But the new
Gladys Brockwell photoplay, 'Pit-
falls of a Big City," affords more than
passing glance at the ballroom of
one of the finest homes in southern
California. This picture showing to-
day at the Royal Theatre, contains
a brilliant ballroom scene, which was
staged in millionaire's residence.
The director of "Pitfalls of a Big
City," being a friend of this wealthy
man, obtained the privilege of making
scenes in his home. 1t was the first
time that motion picture cameras had
been allowed to enter the house.
pitfalls of Big City" is a picture
of remarkable contrasts. At the very
moment When the Splendld reception
is taking place in this wealthy home,
great things are happening in the
under world. Gladys Brockwell has
an extraordinary part, in which her
powerful personality is shown to bet
ter advantage than in any other pic
ture she has made. She plays the
part of a woman crook, who lives
where the poor and the derelicts of the
big city live and strives to rise above
her environment.
Never has a more appealing figure
than hers been presented on the
screen. IA

cast a perpetual shadow because of a

aunt alleged existed in the life of her
dead mother. On this account the
aunt kept Elna virtual prisoner,
guarding her day and night from con-

Substantial advances prevailed in
sheep and hogs this week, but the
cattle market was irregular, with
most killing grades selling lower.
Hogs sold above $500, and lambs up
to $18.40 Lamb prices were the hiyh
est ever known in January, and fully
$3.50 above the top quotation in the
first month of last year. Fat steers
principally OF the short fed kinds,
that drew no feeder competition, were
SO cents lower. Top steers this week
brought $1,000.
THIS WEEKS RECEIPTS
Receipts this week were 1859
cattle, 1862 calves, 7O,961, hogs, and
,463 sheep, compared with 44,65o
cattle, 4,533 calves, 1887 hogs, and
81 ,877 sheep last week, and 9,750 cat
tie, 4,805 calves, 1921 hogs, and 49,,
600 sheep year ago. Cattle and hog
receipts are falling short of year
ago, by much larger numbers than
expected, and there is no indication
that the decrease will be offset later
by heavy runs.
BEEF CATTLE
Though fat cattle made some dis
play of strength on Monday, and
Thursday average prices for the week
were lower and trade was slow.

Butcher cattle sold more readily than
steers, in fact killers made relatively
large purchases of cows. A slow de-
mand for beef in eastern markets, and
