The United States shipping board
has withdrawn eight large freighters
tI.at have been plying between the
United States and Germany. The rea-
son is that it was found that privately
owned steamers under the American
flag could handle all the business on
that route. 1t is worthy of note that
these privately owned vessels are
handling the business without the aid
of a subsidy

the traRsaction merely was that
somebody else continued to pay taxes
on the securities which she relin-
pushed. II It be thought desirable to
curtail investment in tax-exempt Sc
curities, it can be done by reducing
the surfaces on incomes and substi-
tuting q tax on sales.

The country has SIX months re-
naming, in which to devise some plan
for preventing another tie-up of the
coal industry. Will the matter be at
tended to in an effective way?

Still. Bill has his points. No insur-
ance agent could gig" him. He is
much too smart for that.

We've probably forgotten more
about what goes on around a news
paper office than Upton Sinclair ever
knew. Why should we read his book
about 1t, particularly at the inevita BILE
expense of being annoyed by it?

CATTLE PRICES
WEAk;0THERS
SHOW STRENGTH

U. S. Yards, Chicago, Feb. T.
Comparatively light runs were re-
ported in all branches of the live
stock trade today, but the market
did not show any big gains. Cattle
values do not seem to be able to
keep with the price gains noted
for hogs and sheep. Nobody seems
to have any explanation, but cattle
continue to show weakness while
other kinds of livestock are boost
ed. Receipts today were estimated
at 10000 cattle; $4,000 hogs; 49,
600 sheep and lambs, and 5000
calves.
Cattle.
Demand was slow from the start.
Few good steers were in the pens,
and sellers had all they could do
to hold values steady. Few steers
were good enough to reach above
$500 while most of the stock went
at $3.50 % 7.50. Cows and heifers
sold well, while many Gamers made
$500. Bulls were slow, but big
killers paid $1,000 Is HOO for
calves on generally steady trade.
Hogs.
Light hogs were boosted to $1,000
today. Shippers and small local
killers gave the trade good support
and few of the rough packing
grades went down to $500. Bulk OF
hogs sold at $9.15 q 9.65, with good
packing grades up close to $500.
Pigs made $1,000 on a 10@15c
higher market.
Sheep.
Fat lambs were mostly 15c high
er. Other grades were only steady,
however. Shippers paid $14.15 with
city butchers going to $14.30, while
big packers stopped at s14.0O. Bulk
of lambs sold at $500 q 1880.
Some SO pound yearlings made
$1,000 which was Csc up, while aged
muttons sold steady.

spot early and this caused much
buying. The bulge brought out
realizing sales which checked the
upturn but the market rallied
again on reports of / &c to 4c ad-
vance in Buenos Aires, a closing
gain OF 8 pence to 81 pence in

mated to be abandoned in Kansas.
