Recent Advance
In Cows Halted
Prices Drop Csc on Tues
day, Steer Trade Weaker,
Hogs Gain.

South st. Paul, Mimi, December g.,
1910: The advance in COW prices
came to a halt. After gaining sensa-
tionally last week killers claim that
live costs were entirely out of line
with values in the beef. So weaker
close on Monday was followed by a
definite decline Tuesday that placed
the general market Csc under late
last week. Slaughter steer and year.
ling prices were also reduced, ac-
cording to the Federal-State Market
News Service, figuring weak to Csc
lower than last Friday. Heifers
shared this downturn, but bulls held
steady because of scarcity. Vealers
weakened on Monday, but strength
ened Tuesday to compare at that time
about steady with last weeks close.
Demand for stockers and feeders was
rather dull and the sub-zero weather
Tuesday was not conducive to TAX
ing on replacement material. Choice
feeders Monday brought $3.50. The
top on slaughter steers was $3.50,
paid Monday, and some choice heif-
ers made Sill. Bulk of the steer and
yearling crop consisted of medium
to good grades at So to $10.50.
Hogs Show Gain.
Strength was exhibited on the
opening sessions in the hog division,
and by Tuesday the accumulated gains
on butchers above 100 pounds and
sows amounted to 15c over last weeks
close. Advances on lightweight hogs
under 100 pounds were not as clearly
defined, however, average prices be-
ing 10c higher. Tuesdays top reached
$5.85, paid for the bulk of the good
and choice barrows and gifts above
100 pounds, with only some extr@ne
weights downward to $565. Most
$50 to $50 pound weights cleared at
$5.25 to $50, while 100 to 14O pound
offerings ranged from $4.25 to $5.25.
Good sows of all weights brought
$5.55. Feeder pigs were strong, SELL
ing mainly from 81 to $4.25.
Lambs Show Decline.
Demand for fat lambs the past few
days has been rather Indifferent
Last Thursday lower levels were en-
forced and each session since has
failed to check the downward trend.
Considerable unevenness prevails, due
partly to wider range of quality and
more medium to good grades un-
loaded. Fat lambs are now selling

lings sharing partially in this de-
cline, while slight gains have been
made on slaughter ewes. High mark
for the first two days of this week
on fat lambs was 500, little going
above $8.75 on Tuesday Choice
western slaughter ewes realized $3.50.

Last Sunday General Avila CANA
CHG was inaugurated as president of
the federated Mexican republics, to
succeed Lazaro Cardenas whose term
expired. Last summer Camacho was
elected by what looked like a pretty
sweeping majority, but his major OPP
ponent, General Andrea AlmaZan,
maintained that in spite of the re-
turns, he had been elected. That
stand could not be maintained, .es-
pecially not after the government
of the United States a short time ago
recognized Camacho as the legitimate
president-elect.
In his inaugural address Presi-
dent Camacho stressed his firm
and clear desire to cooperate with
all other American nations, es-
pecially in regard to joint defense;
he unequivocally endorsed Presi-

merous statements in the same

More than thirty foreign nations
were represented at the elaborate

of the United States. In a speech
broadcast Immediately after the in
auguration Mr.. Wallace expressed the
pleasure of President Roosevelt and

as features on the program and at

would be too small so the new audi
forum was used, which was quite
well filled as there were nearly 200

The 25-piece school band under
the leadership of Robert Olson per-
formed as though they had played
together two years instead of two
months. Their ability surely sur
prised everyone. The songs by the
high school girls were rendered in the
usual pleasing manner. Robert Oh
son was accorded an abundance of
applause for his fine selections on the
trumpet
The speaker of the evening, Mrs.
Nell Knight Chesters, held the un-
divided attention of the audience
while she told in plain and inter-
esting manner about the actual con-
ditions in everyday life in England,
she having come from there just a
few months ago. Many questions
were asked her following the talk
which she answered in an able man.

Kai Skov was scheduled to report
this morning at Pine City as volun-
teer for one year of selective service
training. Some time ago Mr.. Skov
was at Pine City and requested the
draft board to select his number for
immediate service rather than to wait
until his turn came, as his number
was rather high, it being 1924. Since
that time Mr.. Skov has passed local
physical examination and does not
expect to encounter any difficulty
in passing the examination at Fort
