Trade Recovery

Little Encouragement Found

MADRID, Nov. 12--Outside of an
increased activity in the Spanish cot
ton mills and in general construction
work there is little of encouragement
TO be found in the general trend OF in
dustry and finance ct that country
during the last month. Imports are
overshadowlng exports; the Moroccan
campaign is causing a rapidly increas-
ing financial deficit; serious strikes are
threatening and prices are stu rapid
ly advancing.
The general condition o government
finances IS steadily becoming worse.
An issue of three months notes,
amounting TO 1850 600 600 pesetas, was
authorized on November 4 and Vas sub

tions have risen largely out Of the ex-

Higher Taxation
Higher taxation appears to be in
evitAble and it is assumed that at
ceinpta will be made to make up the
deficit by percentage surcharges upon
taNes already in operation and possibly
by All increased Income tax upon

Figures for September show imports
of 95 1850 600 pesetas and exports Of

Cotton Imports Gain
Increase is noted in the imports of
cotton and wheat, the imports az tne
lato. during September Amounting. TO

The market is still overstocked ren-
orally with respect to American ma

HOG MARKET

Cents Lower.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

There was q very unsettled tone to
the hog market during the forenoon hours
of the local live stock exchange today.
Bearish movements were everywhere on
foot and the early prices were 25 to 80
cents lower and there were rumors that
prices would be lower before the close
of the forenoon hours.
Kingan & Co., usually the largest buy
ers In the local market, were taking prac-
tically no hogs and left the impression
chat they would not buy unless the prices
came to lower figures. Shippers were
not anxious to take the initiative.
Other hog markets of the country were
strong to higher and there was no ap-
parent reason for the lower prices, other
than the actions of local concerns.
on one or two droves on extra fancy
light hogs, but the few sales that fol-
lowed were generally around $40, with
one or two sales at SOTO.
Pigs were lower, following the trend
of the general market.
Receipts for the day Appropriated
5000 fresh hogs with an Influential num-
Der over from the Monday market.
With receipts close to 800 fresh cattle
and a fair demand by buyers, there was
cattle market and prices held about
steady.
Prices were strong to 80 cents higher
on the good and choice calves at the
opening of the market, but there was
slow demand for medium and common
stuff and the prices on those grades were
weak. There was a top of $14 on a few
fancy calves. The bulk Of the choice
calves brought $12.5O913.5O. Good calves
brought $11Q12.50, and mediums, $SQ10.
There was not a sufficient number Of
sheep and lambs in the pens to make a
market.

Wheat-If reliance can be placed upon
cable advances then the competition or
the southern hemisphere is something
which can not be overcome at once. 1t
is stated that wheat from India has been
laid down in Italy at S167, which com
pares with something like 50 for United
States wheat. This condition was promi-
nent in yesterdays market. Values
have also been affected By a very poor
demand from any source except that
northwestern houses were buyers In the
early market. The inquiry for a round
lot from Greece has not been satisfied
Outside of this inquiry there has been
no evidence of q foreign demand, In fact
two western markets referred to an alb
sence of demand. There are advices from
Illinois that farmers give indication OF
being ready to part with their reserves.
1t is also noted that the demand in that
territory is very poor. Inasmuch as this
question Of reserves remaining in this
country Is still debatable, the market is
In need Of further export demand If
prices are to advance.
COrn--The large increase in visible sup
ply of corn Is to be accounted for by the
unloading of accumulations on track in
this and other markets. The country
has practically stopped selling, although
some believe that II country roads freeze
there will be a fair volume Of new move
ment. Seaboard reported 10000 thou.
sand for export, but the distributing de-
mand Is practically nOn-existent. In

The stock market yesterday was very
largely professional. Commission houses
were only moderately active; the pro-
fessiOnal element taking advantage of the
absence of public support have sold
stocks and have made some impression
on values and this is Just the character
Of market that we have mentioned in
these letters during the last few days;
that we are most likely to experience for
a few weeks.
We need an incentive to arouse public
interest and we have no such incentive
al this time, but there are pending many
matters of great Importance any one Of
which If properly solved, might serve the
purpose of arOusing public interest.
We have the condition in Europe
which might be helped by a definite set
Element OF the reparation question: we
have a railroad problem here which
might be at least temporarily solved by
the wage board, which is now engaged
In consideration of the subject and we
have the problem of export business
that might be helped by the organization
of the new foreign trade corporation.
Then, too, we have the problem OF do
nestle business which can only be helped
by the restoration of confidence among
the people of this country.
