An unusually sharp decrease in re-
ceipts was accompanied. by an equally
sharp increase in hog prices in trad
ing at the local livestock market to-
day. Only 1000 head arrived for mar
ket, including Thursdays carryover Of
618, and values went 20 cents higher
to top Of $3.50 for a few fancies
while the bulk of sales was made from
$3.50 TO $7.55. Sales at $3.50 and those
at S7.55 were about equal in number.
Shippers were partly responsible for
the upward revision in prices, but
local packers entered the market early
and took their quota of the receipts,
buying largely at $7.55, compared with
their bulk purchases at $7.35 on Thurs
day. Both sows and pigs reflected the
increase, each selling a quarter high
err pigs down from 81 and sows down
from $3.50. Receipts in the truck di-
vision were almost negligible, the days
supplies having been drawn from rail
and interurban shipments. Practically
all the hogs were sold in the opening
round of trading.
Cattle prices were depressed further
despite fairly light receipts of 500 head
and the presence Of large buyers in
the market. Prices on the good and
prime stock were around Is cents
lower, while common stock dropped
as much as Is to % cents, excepting
Gamers and cutters which were
fairly steady The weeks steer top
was $40.
Continued slackening OF Eastern de-
mand for veal caused another half dol
lar drop in calf prices to a top Of
S14.50 while the bulk commanded
$3.50 to S14. Receipts, 600.
Quality considered, prices Of native
fed lambs at $13 down were considered
steady while sheep were unchanged at
81 down. Receipts, 200.

BIZ United Financial
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Grain prices
opened higher on the Chicago Board
OF Trade today. Wheat was the mar
ket leader.
Foreign labor conditions were large
ly responsible for a bullish spirit in
the wheat pit at the outset. Fear of
a dock workers strike in England and
prospective labor troubles in the Ar.
gentine resulted in a good class OF
buying and prices after some hesita-
ton, moved rapidly into higher
ground.
Corn. after opening at even figures,
followed the advance of the wheat
market and prices quickly struck
higher levels. Local buying was gen
orally good despite scattered selling by
warehouses.
Despite dullness, oats fell IN line
with wheat and corn and prices ad-
vanced fractonally soon after the
start.
Provisions opened lower with hogs.

SURPLUS OF GROCERIES
II Out of Al Stores Do IS Per Cent of
Entire Business.

NEW YORK, Feb. How easy it
Is for a manufacturer to waste on
distribution cost is shown by the mar
keting division Of the International
Magazine Company, whose recent re-
search has produced the fact that In
one New York town eleven out OF the
fcrty-one grocery stores do rs per
cent of the total business.
The research shows that by concen-
trating on the eleven grocers who do
rs per cent OF the entire business a
food manufacturer can well afford to
eliminate a large percentage Of his
selling effort. and If the same principle
is extended to other Industries even
tually the cost to the consumer can
be materially decreased
