Chicago, Dec. 14.-Cabbage ad-
vanced to its highest price of the
season. SIS to $50 a ton, during the

onions reaching So a sack and
sweet potatoes following in the adj
vance. the weekly market report
issued yesterday by the United
States bureau Of markets stated.
Light supplies. the report said,

bage to its new high level. Al
though the price marked this sea-
sons highest, it was not considered
exceptional compared to the price
OF SIS q ton in December, 1921.
An increase OF 40 per cent in
sweet potato shipments, mostly
from producing states north of viz
GINA, failed to check a price ad-
vance. Barreled apples remained

cipal markets. Other fruits and

IL tOtal cattle run shows IN In
crease. but values held well Tor Ill
grades. Hogs were strong early.
while the trade dropped later IN
Tie period, Nearly 1880 hogs
were bald over from yesterday and
ths market fell.
Receipts were 1890 cattle, S.
90 hogs, 1900 sheep and 5000
calves
Dsmand for cattle was slow.
Most Of the good steers sold about
STEADY, but other kinds were weak
and . little lower In some spots.
Some choice steers sold ut $11 to
$11.25, but few were good enough
to reach 5000. A delayed con-
signment Of range cattle arrived
today. Cows and heifers sold
steady, while Gamers and bulls
held without change.
HOGS.
Hog trade was slow. with sales
10c to 15c lower. Most Of the deals
were on 15c late in the season and
sellers again had much unsold
stuff at the close. Choice light hogs
made $8.15, while good butchers
sold at So. Rough packing went at
SIPS to $3.50, showing the full de-
cline.
SHEEP.
Demand was dull. Lack of light
delayed the trade in the sheep
house. Best lambs were placed at
$3.50 to 1880 and looked steady,
but palmer lots sold weak to lower.
Aged muttons were generally
steady.
