Hog Top Eases
To $500 Level
Market Drops Sc to Zoe on
First Days of Week; Cat
tie Lower; Lambs Steady.

South st. Paul, Mimi, May 8, 1888:
Warmer weather, fairly liberal cattle
receipts and sluggish dressed meat
trade provided sufficient pressure to
the buying side to push cattle prices
down substantially since the close of
last week, according to the Federal
State Market News Service. Fed
steers and yearlings lost about Csc,
while cows show a similar down.
turn. The decline in heifers was
cushioned a little, values ranging
steady to Csc off. Prices for vealers
steadied after Mondays weak to soc
lower trade. Bulls showed a weaker
trend. Demand for stockers and feed
ers was good and with supplies linn
tied, the market held steady. Dairy
cows ruled about steady on good
springers taken by shipper interests
at $1,000 to $500. Plain and medium
cows weakened in sympathy with the
decline in butcher cattle values and
getting about $4,000 to $4,000. Strict
ly choice fed steers are still quotable
above $500, but the best offered
stopped at $8.75.
The Tuesday hog trade ruled steady
to weak, spots SC to 10c lower. Per-
Torrance of the market was regarded
as satisfactory to the selling side in
view of bearish reports from outside
points and weakness in the fresh pork
trade. Compared with the close of
last week, current values are SC to
zoe lower, mostly 10c to 15c off. Top
rested at $500 on choice light lights,
with good and choice 160 to $50
pounds at $3.50 to $3.50, $50 to 800
pounds $735 to $3.50, and 300 to 400
pounds $71O to S7.40. Sows bulked
at S6.75 to $500 and stays brought
$6.75 to $7.25.
Slaughter lambs held last weeks
upturn, but slaughter ewes declined
little, largely in sympathy with
downturns reported at other midwes-
tern markets. Smaller receipts and
continuance of last weeks improve
ment in the wholesale dressed trade
helped the live market. Good to
choice wooded lambs brought $50 to
$3.50 and similar grade clipped Of
ferings made $3.50 to S7.85. Shorn
ewes turned at $500 to $3.50.

News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

This weeks big event in the inter-
national field is, of course, the visit
of Adolf Hitler, chief executive of the
German government, at Rome where
he is the guest of Prime Minister
Benito Mussolini. Hitler arrived at
the Italian capital on Tuesday and
was given a reception so elaborate
and so overwhelmingly magnificent
that it may be characterized as prac-
tically without precedent, and the
friendship between the two dictatorS
was, to all appearances, as strongly
cemented as never before. On two
former occasions they have met; the
first time was few years ago when
Hitler travelled to Venice as Musso-
lini's guest without really accomplish
ing anything that contributed to any
change of the course of European
events; the second occasion was in
September of last year when Musso-
lini came to Germany and was re-
ceived with splendor and pomp and
circumstance. Out of this latter
meeting grew a firm friendship be-
tween the fascist and the nazi chiefs,
already, in mentality and political
world concepts, so closely allied.
Some Changes.
During the period between Musso-
lini's trip to Germany and Hitler's to
Italy now, certain events have taken
place-events which, from the view
point of Berlin and Rome, seem to
need a measure of Qualification.
One was that Hitler has annexed
Austria and thus become the next
door neighbor of Mussolini; the Ital-
ian statesman was adroit enough to
approve of the annexation, but con-
fidential information emanating-not
quite confdentially # o many
sources is to the effect that deep
down in his heart Mussolini doesn't
like that Austrian DEAL at all; he likes
Hitler and his general policy, but
at a reassuring distance. So, this
business no doubt forms part of
the conversations going on this week.
Then there is something else: On
April 16, as has been told here, Great
Britain and Italy joined in a treaty
for, as it was called, "the preserva-
ton of European peace" The al
most unavoidable sequel to that was
a conference between British and
French statesmen intent on weaken
ing the entente between Italy and
Germany, and that conference took
place last week with the result that
France lined up with Great Britain,
thus indirectly with Italy, in order
to maintain peace. But the Anglo
French conversations assumed more
specific, more defiant, character than
Italy, perhaps, had anticipated, for it
amounted to nothing less than mill
tary alliance. Now, Hitler is trying
to find out what will be the possible
effect of the Anglo-French agree
ment on the Italo-German relations.
Whatever the outcome of the talks
in Rome-one thing is very certain,
and that is that the future peace of
Europe will be contingent upon a
heavier rearmament of all the great
