Coal company, because Of discrimina-

enabled in 1920 to operate nearly 40

mines are most bitter in their hostil-

New Orleans, March 2f.-The early
trading in cotton today brought wide de-

HOGS ARE IRREGULAR
WHILE CATTLE TRADE
is HARDLY NOMINAL
Steers, Cows and Heifers
Close Lower Than
Last Week.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
Chicago, March 24.-No good cattle
were offered today. The .rade was
hardly more than a nominal one. In
the hog house the market was I'M
even. Sellers had more than COCO
held over from yesterday. but fresh
supply was light. Big killers had
about 300 hogs forwarded from other
trading points. Sheep trade was Of
no account as few animals were on
hand. Some native spring lambs We're
received this week. They sold at SIS.
Sellers are looking for California
stock the first part of next week.
Receipts today were 1000 cattle,
1900 hogs, 5000 sheep, 400 calves.
Some small lots OF cattle sold at
unchanged price levels, but there was
not enough stuff on hand to call many
buyers out. Compared with week
ago, prices for steers closed IL and
% cents lower. This was about 15
cents off from the high time noted
Monday this week. Top for the per-
iod was S10.35. Cows and heifers
closed II cents lower in spots. but
many deals showed no change for the
period. Calves had been an uneven
market. Values were higher at the
start, but they dropped again later,
closing about like week ago.
Hogs were about steady from the
start. Choice light stock sold at $3.50
early in the day, but the market weak
cned later. and many deals were off

ago today top hogs made $500. Best
pigs went at IS and 1926 today. Only
about 1000 were unsold at the close.
Practically all of the estimated
5000 sheep and lambs for the local
yards were received by big killers
from other trading points, and sellers
had little to do. Prime lambs were
quoted at $15.25, and values closed
mostly 30 cents higher than a week
ago, with shorn lots about steady for
the period. Aged muttons were up %
cents with choice ewes at 50.
