CHICAGO LIVESTOCK

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-P)-A pre-
holiday cleanup featured the cat
tie trade today as the genera
market hit a new seasonal low
except on choice fed steers. Salable
receipts of $500 head were slight
ly lower than last Thursdays run
but unloadings for the first three
days of this week were the largest
since last March and prior to that
the heaviest since January, 1914.
Choice steers and yearlings
closed steady but common,
medium and good grades finished
weak to Is cents lower. The SIS
AUO limit was paid for strictly
choice offerings and best yearlings
brought $17.35. Cows were steady
to Is cents lower. Heavy bulls
traded steady but others were 10
to Is cents lower. Vealers closed
fully steady at SIS down.
The hog market was unchanged
and almost all grades sold early
at ceiling prices. Barrows and
gifts brought STATS and sows sold
for $14. Four thousand salables
were offered and the same number
went directly to packers.
Native slaughter spring lambs
closed steady to Is cents lower
and mature ewes finished steady.
Good and choice natives brought
$13.25 to $13.75. Sho-n aged ewes
sold for $500 to $3.50.

Lansing -AP- Governor Kelly
was preparing today to appoint
special mediation panel TO seek
settlement OF the threatened Con-
sumers Power Company strike be-
fore It results in the shutdown OF
electric and gas services in 1900
Michigan communities.
Kelly agreed to appoint a panel
late Monday after receiving word
that G.. w. Sanders. chairman OF
the Michigan Utility Workers Coun.
cil-CIO, was sending a telegram to
the State Labor Mediation Board re-
porting the union had rejected
company's counter-proposal on
wage increases and setting forth
the issues involved. In the labor
dispute.
Earlier, Kelly had refused to In
stitute mediation efforts until he
was assured OF ample" time for
such efforts. While the telegram,
Kelly said, was not specifically de-
scribed as a second strike notice.
the governor said he would accept
1t as such and would act on the
theory that a second 30-day cool
ing Off period was commencing.
