HOG PRICES RULE
GENERALLY STEADY
All Weights and Glasses Move
at S7,50-CaIyeS Higher,


Light receipts failed TO induce ad-
vances In hog prices in trading at the
local livestock market today and
prices ruled practically unchanged
from Saturdays opening market, all
weights and classes having sold at a
fiat price Of $3.50. Shippers were fair
ly active. taking about one-half the
supply local killers took the other
half. On the whole the market was
stronger than that OF Saturday in.
asmuch rs the late hogs on Saturday
sold a nickel lower than the opening
figure at $7.45. Sows and pigs were
generally unchanged. sows at $3.50
down and pigs at $675 down. Con.
tinued light receipts are attributed to
the condition of highways through
ont the State, as receipts in the truck
division are almost negligible, while
the carlot shipments furnished the
bulk of the offerings. Many traders
recently have been frankly dis
appointed that the light runs have not
bolstered prices. but receipts In other
quarters have been heavy. reducing
the demand for outside account.
Cattle prices ruled about steady
with lest weeks close, which rep.
resented a rather severe break in
prices Of most grades. About 500
head arrived for market, but the
quality was only medium and large
buyers displayed a rather Indifferent
attitude.
Light receipts of 400 head. coupled
with stronger Eastern demand
brought an advance Of generally a
halfdollar in veal prices. Choice
calves sold up to s14.50 while the bulk
moved between $3.50 and s14. Less
than rs head Of sheep arrived at the
yards and the market was quoted as
steady, inasmuch as the supply was
insufficient to test values.

By United FinGncidl
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Gains started ir-
regular on the Board Of Trade today.
Good buying featured the wheat
market Stronger cables. fears OF crop
damage from a cold wave sweeping
over parts Of the winter belt. and Pres
ident Coolidge's approval Of the Nor
beck bill designed to finance diversified
farming, were helpful factors. Liver
pool reported a scarcity in nearby po-
sitions. and a good demand with hold
ers firm in their views.
May corn opened higher. Other
months slumped fractionally. Buying
in the cash month was induced by
strong wheat positions, although lib
eral receipts were expected.
Oats, after an unchanged opening,
advanced slightly with wheat.
Provisions opened on an unchanged
basis. Much attention was being paid
to accumulation Of meat products.

Grain Briefs

CHICAGO. Feb. Corn producers over
the entire belt are facing a serious seed
hsOrtage. Although average crop was
raised last year. the quantity was low and
unfavorable for seeding.
Although there was weekend profit taking
in wheat and corn. sentiment remains bull
lish, particularly on wheat while in corn IL
is mixed, owing to anticipation of liberal in
ereases in receipts.
Country offerings of corn are somewhat
liberal. the bulk coming from Illinois and
northwestern points Missouri River points
also had fair increase In receipts.
Action of the market lately is regarded
as demonstrating the belief that all that
was needed to bring about an advance in
values was little backbone on the part of
the trade.
During the last few weeks there has
statistical position. which is decidedly
bearish.

Wilson'S Death Has Only
Sentimental Effect on
Stock Values,
The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, Feb. Avail Street
was profoundly affected by woodrow
Wilson's death, but the reaction was
sentimental one as his position of
retirement prevented his passing from
affecting the stock market. Develop
,nents in the business situation over
the week were Of a constructive ma
ture and pures ruled firm in today's
early dealings. The governing COM
nlittee of the Stock Exchange is ex-
pected to hold a special meeting to
decide what action the Exchange will
take to observe the day of former
President Wilson's funeral
First Hour
Further pronounced strength in the
railway list was the outstanding fea-
ture of the first hour. New York Cen
trail moved into new high ground for
the year at Is on increasingly favor
able chances for the So dividend basis
at the March meeting. In the lower
group, Wabash "A" reached new high
bound on the movement at 42A and
st. Louis, Southwestern surpassed its
previous high record made in 1917
when it spurted to 427s. Strength in
st. Louis Southwestern is due largely
10 its excellent earnings.
Second Hour
Stocks maintained a strong tone in
the late morning. new features join
ing the movement which went ahead
without interruption in the earlier
hours. Steel common went to its best
price on the movement at 107A. Rails
continued strong, their strength hav-
ing impaired buoyanCy to other sec
tions Of the list which came forward
and joined the carrier group in its adj
vance. While the forward movement
was not startling, it carried the weight
OF consistent buying.
Noon Hour
Little progress on the upside was
scored during the noon dealings, which
were dull for the most part, except
for occasional advances of individual
issues. Selling pressure was not ap-
piled, however, indicating that such
of the professionals as might take a
pessinistic view of the outlook in such
periods of dizziness were content to
assume a watchful attitude rather
than espouse the side of declining
prices.
