order issued by the commissioner of
conservation, w. L. Strunk, reopen
ing the winter spearing season on
pickerel or northern pike until March

new orders would give the fish adj

Dull Market In
Fed Steer Trade
Light Supplies Fail to Rally

While Lambs are Slow.

South st. Paul, Mimi, January 81
1941: Light supplies failed to stimu
late demand for slaughter steers, the
trade continuing in dull vein fol-
lowing last weeks closing sharp de-
cline. Mondays market was bare
ly steady and toward the close frac-
tional declines were enforced, while
the Tuesday trade dragged along at
steady rates. Medium grade steers
have predominated and a spread of
$3.50 to Sill took the bulk. There
were several loads good lightweight
Canadian steers at $11.60, while the
top so far this week rested at SIP for
good mediumweight steers, some good
Montana steers being forwarded be-
cause of lack of satisfactory action.
Heifers were steady for the week,
while cows strengthened Monday only
to slow down and sell barely steady
Tuesday. Several loads good heifers
made $40. Bull prices were steady
to weak, and vealers sold generally
steady, upward to $13 being paid for
strictly choice kinds. Stockers and
feeders attracted support at fully
steady prices. Choice yearlings made
$1,000, and good to choice feeders
brought $40.
Hog Prices Hold Steady.

feeder pigs bulked at 81 to SIPS.
Lamb Advance Halted.
Receipts of western fed lambs ex-
banded materially Monday. This fac
tor, along with lower tones for dressed
lamb products at eastern centers
proved instrumental in choking the
recent rapid advance of slaughter
sheep and lamb prices. Determined
to readjust the live cost of lambs,
local buyers sought fully Csc lower
levels, but encountered stiff resistance
from statesmen. Some weakness was

international News Review

In Albania where the Greeks are
getting ever closer to the city of Va
Iona, fighting has been slowed up to
some extent because of continued bad
weather, but whenever a clash does
take place, the Italians invariably
get the worst of it.
In Libya similar situation exists;
here, too, weather-in the shape of
impenetrable sand storms-has been
a handicap to both the British and
the Italian armies, but whenever the.
fascists make move, at all, it is
backward.
Under these circumstances it is
plausible that Hitler and Mus
sOlini may have been negotiating
not only about possible German
reinf0rcements of the Italian arm
les, but about the prospect of
peace. Should a peace offer be
made, it will most likely include
Italian willingness to cease hos
tilities not only against the Greeks
but also against the British in
both Albania and North Africa.
Such peace rumors have been per-
sistent during the last few days but
they are still too vague, their known
basis too frail, to justify expectations.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Reports to the effect that Hitler
and Mussolini once more have been
in conference have filled Europe with
dismay and worry, for all such previ-
Gus meetings of the dictators have
been followed by new developments
aiming at the increase of their power,
the expansion of their conquered or
annexed territory.
In this particular case, there
is, however, a possibility that
Hitler has had to comfort his
partner because of his constant
defeats on the two fronts, and it
is not improbable that a plan for
joint action has been discussed.
But no bulletin covering the re-
ported conference could be expected;
statesmen of "New Europe" prefer
to let their actions speak, and it is
immaterial to them whether or not
the world likes or dislikes what they
say and do; unnecessary, even, that
the world finds out about the topics
of their conversations. So dense is
the mystery surrounding conferences
of this modern style that even the
places where they are held remain
unnamed.
Tale of Woe.
When the dictators met, it must
have been tale of woe that Musso-
lini had to pour into his partners
ears, for the army of which he for
merly boosted so eloquently-his "tri-
imphant" and "invincible" army-is
running away all the time.
