Livestock Markets

During Week
Cattle Prices Uneven,
Hogs Recover Most
Of Weeks Decline

The tollowing reDieD of the
livestock market for the week
ended May 18 was prepared for
the Associated Press by the
United States Department OF
Agriculture:
CHICAGO, May 20.-Strictly choice
and prime heavy bullocks and the
small quota of light steers held to
fully steady levels, while good to
choice offerings with weight de-
clined Csc at Chicago. Hogs sold
off early in the week but came back
under the influence of limited runs
to close with negligible price
changes. Meanwhile fat lambs
tumbled abruptly, wooled offerings
losing 75c-100, with shorn lambs
50-75c off. Prime steers topped
Wednesday at 14,00, hogs closed
with peak of 7.25, while fats lambs
had late top of 9.65.
Beef steers with weight predomi-
mated in the run at Chicago and
sold off more than others of COM
parable grade. In fact, the thin
upper crust of highly finished bull
locks had dependable action at
steady terms, and there was also
plenty of competition for the light
weight group, which made up rela-
lively small portion of the salable
supply. Aside from these little cat
tie and the small number of "spe-
cialty" steers with weight, the trend
was unmistakably downward. AL
though top held at 14,00, nothing
else arrived of value to sell above
1880. Heifers received sympathetic
support from the reliable trade on
light steers and maintained fully
steady levels, best available topping
at HOO. Cows advanced 25-50c
with scarcity the principal sustain
ing influence. Country demand for
replacement cattle broadened no.
ticeably and centered largely on
steers scaling 100000 pounds of
value to sell 825-975.
Hogs Recover Later.
Hogs dipped before midWeek but
came back later in the week to close
with minor price changes. At the
low time Tuesday ITO represented
the outside price, but subsequent
reaction placed the final peak at
7.25. Most late sales of good and
choice 10000 pound averages at
Chicago were within 685-7.20 limits
Killers bought sparingly when
minor advances appeared and OBJ
viously sought to bring live and
dressed prices into closer relation
ship. St. Louis and st. Paul had
late top of 100, indianapolis an
outside peak of ITO Thursday, while
all hogs at Omaha and Kansas City
sold under TOO. Little price change
appeared at interior Iowa and
Southern Minnesota concentration
points despite enlarged runs.
Lamb Prices Slump.
Lamb prices crumbled in spite of
sharp supply abridgment. Consist
of the run at Chicago suggested a
feed lot and pasture cleanup of old
crop lambs. Fed Wooled lambs
dropped 75c-100, while clippers de-
clined 50-75c, spring lambs as much
| as Csc and fat ewes 25-50c Best
wooled lambs sold late up to 965
shorn offerings 875, with medium
to good California springers at
1000-10.50 Fat light ewes closed

lie assistance program and ne9r-
ly 100000 for general operating

The budget estimate antici-

Referee Hearing
OF County Suits
Ends Last Thurs
May Be go Days Before Judge
C. III. Hastings Announces
His Decision. on Case.

The referee hearing of the
county's four suits against EX-
Sheriff Henry M. Miller and his
bondsmen, charged with an al
Iegsd indebtedness to the coun-
ty of approximately $4,000, end
ed rather suddenly last Thursday
afternoon.
The hearing was expected to
last all day Friday, but the de-
Tense, it is understood, decided
not to re-eXamine Auditor E. W.
Smith, as had been anticipated
and which would have probably
consumed another day.
The hearing lasted nearly two
weeks and Judge G. H. Hastings,
who sat as referee for the long
and involved cases, announced
before adjournment that he
would complete his study OF the
evidence just as soon as possible.
Robert Maxim, an auditor OF
the National Surety corporation,
sureties in the county'S first suit
against Miller in which an in
debtedness of nearly $4,000 is al
legged, was on the stand several
hours today and testified that a
number of items charged against
the former sheriff were imprO-
per charges.
He said he spent about two
months last year checking the
audit made by E. w. Smith, GER
titled public accountant, which
was used as a basis for the coun-
tvs four suits, and found that a
number of charges should be Gre
dts. On cross examination, how
ever, he admitted there was
agreement in many instances be-
tween his check of the eX-sher-
ifs records and the Smith au-
dts.
Kenneth Brim, of Greensboro,
attorney for the National Surety
corporation, pointed out that the
time covered by the first suit ex-
ended nearly two months beyond
the period of the surety compa-
ny's accepted liability and that
it would be impossible to deter
mine exactly any alleged re-
sponsibility.
Auditor Smith admitted this
was a real problem due to con-
dition of records.
Before adjournment this after
noon Wade Eller, H. c. Tucker
md jim MorpheW testified that
Millar's character was good.
