SWINE PRICES
SUFFER DECLINES
Packers Show but Little De-
mand for All Grades of Cattle.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Due principally to the fact that this
market has been out of line with other
of the principal swine markets of the
country for the last few days and also
to lower prices elsewhere and large re-
ceipts, swine prices were 25M35c lower
in trade on the local livestock exchange
today.
Early receipts ran somewhat more than
10000 and it was estimated that there
would be 1000 hogs on the market be-
fore the close of the day.
Trade was fairly active and a good
clearance for the day was anticipated.
Light swine brought $7,50G7.6O, me-
diums, S7.3507.50; mixed, $715W7.25, and
heavies, 81. The pigs were not in as good
demand as they were on the previous
$7.506D7.75 ROughs brought So nd down
and stays $45005.50. The bulk of the
sales for the day ranged at $7@735.
Further declines were suffered in cat
tie, following a market on the previous
day that was classified as demoralized.
Receipts were again large, with 1000
fresh cattle and about 200 held in
the pens from the markets of the past
week
About the only exceptions to the gem
orally demOralized market were Gamers
and cutters, which were in good demand
and which sold at steady prices Prices
generally, however, were 70 to Do cents
lower.
Packers were buying but few cattle.
Coolers in local packing plants are said
to be about crowded to their full ca
pacity, and the meat trade is not NOV
ing in the manner that it was thought it
would at the outbreak of the butchers
strike in New York and other Eastern
cities.
Calves were weak to 50 cents lower
generally, but some of the commOner
grades were strong, while there was
top on n very few extra good veal calves
that was higher than the top prices Of
the close Of the previous day.
Receipts of calves for the day ran close
to 500
with receipts OF sheep and lambs ex-
demand good prices were steady. There
were only 200 sheep and lambs on the
market. There was a top Of SO on a few
choice lambs while the bulk of the good
lambs brought 50.

Wheat-Strength in wheat today has
been secured from State reports of Kan
saS showing reserves much less than Il
year ago, and from unofficial estimates
of a smaller crop and light reserves in
Canada. However, it IS not possible to
uncover any improvement in the mill
ing, export or investment demand. Only
a moderate export business is reported
and that mainly of NIanitoLas. 1t is
raining in Australia, where the harvest
is in progress. The exportable surplus
is estimated at S0,000000 bushels, or
slightly less than year ago. Stocks of
wheat in Minneapolis show an increase
Of $4,000 bushels for the week, and in
Kansas City 321 900 bushels. Seaboard
clearances are not up to last years total
This applies to North America as we'll
as United States. At the moment the
news suggests no important price change
but the lack of interest on the part Of
the cash trade and the investor hinders
anything like permanent strength.
Corn and Oats-COnsignments of corn
from the country are still of liberal pro-
portions, but country roads are break
ing up, therefore the movement should
decrease. The seabOard continues to re-
port moderate export sales to central
Europe. Mill feeds are quoted cOnsid-
erably higher than oats, from which it
follows that farm feeding will be in
creased. However, this item is not of
immediate market effect, because the large
acumulations in commercial channels are
not being reduced as fast as could lie
desired. Both of these markets are neg
lectcd, but at present there IS consider
able tirmness in the face Of free movement
of corn and the large supply Of oats at
various points.
Provsions-A decline in hogs was ig-
hored in products, largely because pro-
visions are considered relatively cheaper
than hogs. The demand for products
came from former sellers. Cash trade is
slow and foreign news is not partic-
ularly encouraging.

To what extent floor traders have
been used to conceal actual purchases of
stock is predetermined. One firm in one
day recently bought 10000 shares Of a
low priced oil stock the certificates for
which were shipped to an executive Of n
large Western oil company. and which
were paid for. A considerable quantity
of stocks of various companies has been
Withdrawn from the market bv this
method. and in a measure accounts for
the ability Of pools to mark I'D the
prices Of their favOrites without serious
opposition.

(By Thomson & McKlunon.J

Each day we have a change in the active
list in the stock market, but with no
change in the character of the market,
which continues as heret OfOre firm with
an upward tendency throughout the list.
The daily changes in the active list
come at times by groups and at other
times in individual issues. The one great
constant demand for an explanation for
each of these moves. Explanations are
frequently offered to meet this demand,
but they are not always logical nor ac-
curate, because as a matter of fact, there
is no reason for a particular stock NOV
ing forward that would not with equal
force apply to many that may at the
moment remain inactive
The point Is well illustrated by the
action this afternoon of the rails. There
suddenly appeared a demand for these
stocks, values improved, and the question
arises, why. The same question would
have been in order a few days ago when
they were all weak, and a satisfactory
explanation is just as difficult now as it
was then.
The fact of the matter is this-if one
has faith in the stability of our institu-
lions. has faith in the ultimate recovery
of business, has faith in the coming pros
perity in this country, he needs no eX-
PLANTATION. He knows it-and he knows
that there is i. force under the market
which is now actively at work, and the
stock market is merely discounting the
change that is coming. The mergers, con-
solicitations. and new promotions are
merely incidents in the big change that is
in process.
We continue of the opinion that high
er prices are ahead Of us, and would
continue the policy of buying on re-
actions.

A stimulating occurrence Of the day was
the sale of SJ5.OO0.000 of New York City

pressed himself as well pleased with the

cent years. The last issue of 4 like

O'COnner May Have
Slain Man to Escape

CHICAGO, Dec. 16-On the theory that
the victim may have been murdered by
Terrible Tommy O'COnnor, fugitive
convict, the Chicago police today were
investigating the finding of the body of
an unidentified man, with bullet wound
behind the right ear, under bridge at
Palmyra, Wis. The man, about y, was
clad only in his underwear.
The police see a possibility that the
victim was the driver of an automobile
which OConnOr Communicated in max
ing his sensational escape from the cOun-
ty Jail here last Sunday. They say Ter
'rible Tommy" may have robbed the man
and stripped him of his clothes in order
to disguise himself as much as possible.

GRAIN VALUES
ARE IRREGULAR
Kansas Report on Wheat Crop
Is Bearish Factor.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1G.-Grain prices
fluctuated fractionally and irregularly on
the Chicago Board of Trade today. The
Kansas state crop report was more
optimistic than the Government report,
causing a bearish tone in wheat trad
ing. There was considerable buying by
commission houses, however. Receipts
continued small except in the Northwest
where they were fairly large. Provisions
were irregular.
December wheat opened off &c at
SLOTS and closed up Ac. May wheat
opened off Nc at $1.122s and closed up
12c. July wheat opened unchanged at
$1O3B and was off 3sc at the close.
December corn opened off 1sc at 46hc
and closed up 1sc. May corn opened up
opened up 1sc at 54%c and closed off &c.

In the Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Dec 16.-The cotton mar

Directors Of the International Mer-
camille Marine Company met and de-
clared the semi-annual dividend of So n
share on the preferred stock. There had
been n report earlier in the day that
a payment on account of the IL per cent
in back dividends would be authorized
but this proved TO be without foundation.
It is understood earnings of the COM
pany are running at the rate Of approx
mately $40 a share. but owing to the

COTTON REVIEW

NEW YORK, Dec. 1G.-The improving
tendency in the cotton market today was
based on n continued demand for spot
cotton and the expectation of more
bullish turn in the statistics.
A private report on ginning this morn
ing does not throw any new light on the
matter Of supplies. The Government has
given us an estimate on the size OF the
crop, and if it isn't ginned in one period
it will probably appear in the ginning OF
some other period.
So far as the size Of the crop IS con-
cerned no further speculation need be eX-
pccted on this. The next move will have
to he based on developments Of the com
ing year, and we can see no reason, what
ever. at this time for any move Of con-
sequence. and we will probably meet with
frccr offerings from the South on any
further bulge just as We have experienced
in the past.
