LOCAL LIVESTOCK
EXCHANGE ENJOYS
PROSPEROUS WEEK
Hog Market Most 0utStand-
ing for the Period.

A review of the Indianapolis live
stock market for the last week
shows an increase in the average
prices on hogs and cattle, while
sheep and calves are about the same
as the preceding week.
The hog market for the week
would indicate an upward trend in
values. 1t is believed, though, that
much of an increase in the flow of
porkers to the market would be I'M
fortunate. Big packers are still
fighting the market; it was the small
Eastern packers that made the mar
ket of the week closing today. With
hogs now on a winter weight basis
the light ones are the more popular.
This, added to the fact there was
a material decrease in the receipts
at the principal markets in 1926 as
compared with 1925, justifies the ar
gument for higher prices in the flu
ture. However, this seems to be a
good time to market finished hogs.
Increased Receipts
A substantial increase in the mum.
Der received at the Indianapolis
Union Stockyards occurred this week
practically one-third more than the
week before. Receipts around the
market lcircle also showed a per.
ceptible increase, but any bearish
influence that might have been
cd hn ,.Iy OF l.
than offset by a greater demand on
the part of Eastern shippers.
Better grades Of fed steers are
scarce, although the cattle receipts
at the principal markets, including
Indianapolis, show a slight increase
for the week. This was met by an
increased demand, the price on
steers varying from 25 to in some
cases rs cents above the low close
a week ago. Prices were some better
on yeralings, although their gain was
less. There is a bullish undertone
to the trade and higher prices are
easily possible. Only a few weeks
ago extreme heavy steers were held
over from day to day awaiting bids
but now, with the prospects of q
shortage. they are being sought by
the killers.
Cows Active
The COW market continues active
and strong, all classes being cleared
daily. Good light heifers are in de-
mand, but mediums are hard to
move, closing % to 40 cents lower
than the last weekend. Bulls were
active and butcher cattle scarce and
steady.
In spite of the fact that the calf
market has been active and with
good prices, the net average is ap
proximately 81 below last weeks.
The level of the sheep and lamb
market is little changed from that
Of the previous week. The local de-
mand for good fat westerns appears
broader, with little change in price,
while the fed lamb market is still
disappointing to the feeder.

Two Free Throws in Final
Moments Give Evansville
Victory.
BY Norman Isaacs

Had one of Butler Colleges repre-
sentatives of the net sport not
grown over anxious in Friday
nights game with Evansville at the
new Armory the Bulldog quintet
might be rejoicing over a victory to-
day instead OF being wrathfully re-
mindful of the fact that Evansville
won the game, 1928.
A personal foul, called on a But
Ter player for fouling an Evansville
man in the act of shooting for the
goal In the closing minutes of play.
was the margin.
Gardner, flashy Purple Ace for
ward proved to be one Of those cool,
even-minded chaps even under in
tense pressure. He calmly stepped to
the foul line and sank the pair of
free throws without even touching
the rim. And it was all over when
the gun went off a moment later.
The game was one of those hard
fought battles in which first one
and then the other team holds the
advantage. Evansville held a 1913
lead at the conclusion of the first
half but which counted for little in
the flercely fought second half, The
score was tied half a dozen times
and the crowd was in fever heat,
Tom Rea apd Gardner were the high
scorers for Evansville, while Chand-
Ter snagged high point honors for
the Bulldogs. Summary:

HOG PRICES HERE HIGHEST IN TWO WEEKS
Calves Decline, While Cattle
and Sheep Finish Week
Unchanged.

Prices for the day, according to
the four-weight scale now in use,
were: Two hundred pounds down,
$3.50, the top for today; 200225
pounds, $12.45; 225 ESQ pounds,
$12.4O; ESQ pounds up, $12.35. Elk
treme heavies were quoted at $12Q
1925.
All other stock receipts were less
today also, as is common at week
ends. Cattle receipts were estimated
to be 200. The market was little
changed, with prices as follows
Beef steers, $S.75@1O25; beef cows,
$5@6.5o; low cutters and cutter
cows, $3.5OQ475; bulk stock and
feeder steers, $G.50QS.
The week ended today with hog
prices at the indianapolis Union
Stockyards the highest they have
been in nearly two weeks. AS they
have been gaining steadily since
Tuesday. it can hardly be assumed
that the increase today was a result
of the smaller run, which in itself is
not unusual for Saturday.
In comparison with the Chicago
market, prices are higher here.
Prices have advanced there, for the
most part, similarly to local rates.
but started from a lower point and
have not made large enough gains
to reach the level of prices here.
To the 1000 porkers arriving to-
day were added 353 holdovers. The
increase averaged Is cents on the
hundredweight. The bulk of today's
sales ranged from $12.35, Fridays
top, to $3.50, the new top. Packing
sows We're listed at $10,50@11.5O,
which is 25 to so cents above Fri
days mark.
Calves Weak
With 400 receipts, the local calf
market was steady to SO cents lower
on different grades. Good and
choice kinds sold largely at SIS, and
best vealers at $15@15.50.
The sheep and lamb market was
steady today. Top Westerns brought
$3.50. Bulk fat lambs were $110

Well, we've missed again. We
said Friday the Bulldogs would be
more vicious than the Purple Aces.
We were wrong annd Butler got
nosed out. And how! Evansville
played a deliberate game, stalling
for openings and at the same time
keeping Butler away from the ball,
which we believe was most impor-
tant of all. The Evansville boys
were using their heads and didn't
let Butler handle that basketball any
too much.

AS a whole, the Butler meters
were cratic on shooting and still
worse on their passing. Hinkle's
men generally are accurate passers
and make every shot under the bas-

reverse was true. Time after time
a Butler man would find himself
under the basket, free, and then
proceed to dub his shot.
