work of stalking out a proposed $780,

The greatest rattlesnake establish

Brownsville by a dealer named King,
known as "Rattlesnake King" He had
more than 100000 rattlers In stock
during December. Mr.. Pearson said.
These are sold TO geological gardens,
snake charmers, circuses, naturalists
and snake lovers all over the country,
but the demand has recently become
low. Many Mexicans earn their living
catching rattlers and are glad to get
even 3 cents a pound for them.

LIGHT SWINE
PRICES LOWER
Cattle Values Sustain Declines
Sheep Drop Sharply.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.
Swine prices were barely steady to %

Swine prices were barely steady to 25c
lower in trade on the local live stock
exchange today, with the demand fair and
receipts around 1900 FOR the day. Heavy
hogs were barely steady to steady, mixed
and mediums registered declines of
around 10M15c and lights were 10 to 20c
lower, the bulk Of the sales of that
grade being made at prices Zoe below the
level Of yesterdays close.
There was a better demand for heavy
swine than there was for the lighter
grades and this was the principal reason
for the decline in prices of those grades
Early weakness on other markets also
had its effect upon the trend Of the local
mart
Trade in cattle was again fairly ac-
Cctlve ana prices again showed weakness.
Values generally We're barely steady to
2Jc lower on all grades. Receipts ran
close to LOGO which was one of the pru-
cipai causes OF weakness, while the
largest factor was the realization Of the
fact that this market is out Of line with
Chicago.

Veal prices were steady considering the
quality offered for sale. Receipts ran
close to 800 for the day and the demand
by shippers was good
There was a top of S14 on choice yeals.
while the bulk of that grade sold at
Sl350; The top Of the previous market
was $l450 and the bulk of the sales
were made around S13.50Ml4; but the
quality Of the calves offered then was

Both sheep and lambs values suffered
declines with receipts close to LOCO, the

From the very opening of the market
today it was apparent that longs were
disposed to reduce commitments. Under
ordinary circumstances this would be
fully justified because Of the change in
the technical position of the market
which occurred during the recent rise
which resulted in an increase in the long
account and d reduction in the short ac-
count.
There was a special reason, however,
this morning for the increased offerings.
Developments in Washington have not
been very satisfactory. There is ap-
parently q division in the council of the
party in control and it appears that Il
very strenuous effort Will be made 10
enact bonus legislation which will come
ar a time when the business interests of
the nation are anxious for a reduction
rather than an increase in taxation.
During the course Of the day earning
statements were published Of some OF the
minor steel companies. which show that
up to the close of last year no such i'm
prOyement in business occurred $ would
warrant such spectacular fluctuations as
have recently occurred in this market.
Then came the announcement that the
Consolidated Gas direct ors did not act
on the dividend but referred the matter
to the executive committee which natural
IL created doubt as to any payment at
all.
In view Of what has transpired In the
market and the need for orderly progress
rather than violent market moves, We
feel that a little conservatism IS needed
at the present time and would feel more
inclined to accept profits on the bulges
than to increase commitments.

Wheat-Milling, export and investment
demand in wheat Icing distinctly slow,
the market has been inclined to SWIM
pathlze with a little uneasiness shown
in Liverpool and Buenos Aires. There
has been no heavy volume of selling. the
feature OF the market being the slow
buying power. reduction in the es-
Inmates of the Canadian crop of 10000 900
bushels and continued drought n the
Southwest are entirely ignored. The
seaboard reports a small export bust
ness In wheat and a moderate amount Of
flour trade. Yesterdays export bush
ness was estimated around 400, 900 bush
els of wheat, mostly of American sorts.
Liverpool is not likely to show sus-
tanned weakness as their total stock is
100000 bushels, as compared with some
t,oOJOO0 bushels year ago. BuenOs
Aires should prove at least steady, if
not recover its small decline, as the con
tinent is said to be taking their wheat
In considerable volume. This is corrob-
GRATED " the fact that Argentine prices
c. !. T. Europe are only slightly below
gulf wheat, as against to 10 Gems dis
count recently. Conditions in the COM
merclal world are not particularly brisk.
This may possibly be responsible for the
small interest which is displayed in the
grain markets. Between these business
conditions on one hand and European
requirements, together with small re-
serves in this country on the other hand,
the market is uncertain.
Corn and OatS-Rather liberal sales OF
corn have been made from here to sea
board exporters and interior points say
that corn which has been for sale at

items are overcome by an almost total
lack Of investment demand. Cash han

therefore, inclined to sympathize with

ProYisious-Nore liquidation has been
seen in today's provision market with the
demand not particularly good. The mar
