LIVE STOCK PRICES
REPORTED LOWER
Hogs Prove Only Exception,
as Chicago Quotations Are
Depressed.
BY FRANK /. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.

With the exception of hogs ct
Chicago the livestock markets are re-
acting to a dismal trend in the dressed
trade.
It was the first sustained advance
the Illinois point has provided porkers
since the Christmas holiday week. Up
turns amount to 80 to 40 cents with
packing sows about Is cents higher
than week ago. The top Of $3.50
dates back to January 7 but values
ranged all the way down to 1925.
Receipts dropped more than rs per
cent from the previous week, the sharp
decrease in salable supplies probably
stimulating the fresh pork trade which
which failed to extend the rally to
Eastern consuming points. Neither did
the pork provisions market respond to
any notable extent, although hog re-
ceipts at the IL principal markets were
rs per cent lower than a week ago.
It is not uncommon for such drop
to occur the first week in March, but
there usually is some increase in Feb
ruary, a condition which did not de-
velop this year although there were
5000, 900 more hogs on farms on jan
uary than year ago.
Shipping requirements at Chicago
were lower than usual, due partially to
lower prices at some OF the competing
markets.
Chicago sheep prices took a nose
dive when Thursday piled 1900 head
on an already unsatisfactory market.
Eastern order buyers apparently de-
serted the Chicago market at time
their support was sorely needed. 1t was
largely a $5.75 to $6.25 trade on good
to choice lambs with $3.50 paid for q
very desirable load which from killing
brought $7.15 at the high time last
week.
The only bright spot Is the indica-
tion that the much talked OF impending
supply gap may In due course prove
a reality. Receipts as whole continue
to fall of. Un1oadings at the IL prin-
cipal markets turned up approximately
II 900 fewer sheep and lambs than the
comparative period a week ago.
The dressed beef market has been
sluggish and droopy for many days
and has shown only short lived, un-
substantial improvement at any time
this year. but 1t did not have drastic
effect on the live market until the
middle Of this week when accumula-
tions became too excessive and the
outlet too congested and depressed for
cattle buyers to go against even light
receipts with any degree of enthusiasm.
Lent and unseasonably warm weather
throughout most Of the important beef
consuming territory, coupled with pre-
viously prevalent bearish factors such
as unemployment, lower wage scales
and resultant low purchasing power,
led to the current bad conditions of
the dressed beef market.

WHEAT VALUES GAIN
ON WEATHER REPORTS
Possibility of Cold Wave in East
ern Winter Belt Sends
Prices Upward.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Anxiety about
crop damage possibilities from cold
wave spreading eastward over the
United States Winter wheat belt gave
a hoist to cereal markets today.
Wheat values were helped also by
strength of securities. A decided i'm
provement was noted in demand for
rye -four.
wheat closed unsettled. %a1s sbYe
yesterdays finish. rye, Ba1A advanced
corn and oats both ta7s up, and pro-
visions varying from 8 cents decline to
O gain of cents.
Parts of Nebraska, Kansas and Okla
homa sent word Of mercury around zero.
Another bullish influence was an esti-
mate that almost 70 per cent Of Aus
tralia's wheat crop has been sold and
that the remaining surplus totaled only
70,763. 900 bushels, compared with 49,
900 900 q year ago. On the other hand.
resellers Of Argentine wheat in Europe
were reported as pressing more actively.
Most of the buying of wheat came
from houses with connections South
west and was based on low tempera-
lures and on prospects Of still colder
weather. Enactment of the bill to do
nate 40, 600, 900 bushels Of Farm Board
wheat to the Red Cross for distribu-
ton as seed and food was regarded in
some quarters as likely to increase con-
sumner use in directions where no de-
mand heretofore was possible. AS a
rule. traders ignored Moscow reports OF
Russian preparations for war with
Japan. Corn and oats showed inde-
pendent f1rmness owing to prevalent
stormy weather.

sion Of the stock market, In an effort

tial volume of around million shares

The manner in which the market
withstood the General Electric dividend
seduction yesterday convinced Dull
traders that the trend. was upward.
With the Senate's investigation OF the

lators for the rise had no difficulty in
prompting active short covering.
There was almost nothing In the
news at the end of the week to in
fuence the market one way or the other.
Reports from Youngstown indicated that
steel mill operations in that area may
be a little higher next week, but the
indicated change was too small TO be
important.

that the February earnings statements,
to appear within few weeks, will make
q substantially better showing than
those of January, because Of the wage
reduction effective February /. Union
Pacific and Santa Fe rose about 5
points.
In the chemicals gains Of 2 to 4 points
were registered in Union Carbide, Allied
Chemical, Columbian Carbon and Air
Reduction. Drug, Inc reflected further
bullish attention, rising more than 2
points.
Miscellaneous issues rising Q to 3
points included United States Steel,
American Telephone, Consolidated Gas,
Auburn, Safeway Stores, international
Business Machines and others. Gains
OF point or more appeared through
out the list.
Several individual issues reached the
best prices of 1882, and the general
level was boosted to approximately the
peak of February. A soft spot was
Peoples Gas, which lost 312 points.
Foreign sales of copper at 6h cents,
or q Of cent above the low Of early
in the week, brought some buying into
the coppers.

 On the 14th heavy Westerly winds whipped the bay into a raging foaming, harbor. Many of the boats anchored in the bay were sunk or dragged anchor and drifted ashore where they took a severe pounding from the dashing waves. The Rustler drifted up on the sand beach but she was saved as she did not land on the rocky shores-the other boats landed on the rocsls and not much was left of them. Most of the craft were owned by the Natives who were unable to do anything but stand and watch their boats go to pieces.
