THAT WAS A BAD DROP IN LOCAL HOG
There was an increase in the marketing of cattle, there being 2,000 cattle and calves available for sale. The run alone contributed to the advant-' age of buyers and there were frequent I Ruby sales, especially in the steer department, 10 to 15c lower than yesterday, Choice heifers held about steady and the average of the general market was not 10c lower. There was a little
better demand for feeding cattle at steady prices, bulls were unchanged and calves strong to 25c higher.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were not much larger than expected, but as many as needed to meet the requirements of buyers. The competition was not aggressive and while best sales of fancy stock were steady the general market was weak to 25c lower. Lambs sold for $3.50 to $6.75, and sheep for $1.50 to $4.

MARKET
Top Averace Price Fell 50c, and
Decline Was 40c.
Indianapolis. Ind., October, 26. Receipts—10,000 hogs, 2,500 cattle and 800 sheep against 5,959 hogs, 1,856 cattle and 584 sheep a week ago and 7,843 hogs, 2,307 cattle and 539 sheep a year ago.
It has been over three months since there were as many hogs for the market and along time since there was as big a decline in prices. Local packers had practically no opposition and the opportunity, therefore, was very favorable for pushing the market toward a level that no doubt they sought for some time. The top price was 50c lower than yesterday's highest point bulk of the sales 25c lower than yesterday's lowest time, and in the average the market was 40c lower.

People Looking Forward to Night of
Hallowe'en Plan Social
Gatherings.
Only five more nights are left until Hallowe'en, the night when boys and girls, both big and little, turn out to no honor to that time worn custom of emulating the customs of the ghost and to keep in vogue that old relic of pogan times when evil spirits were supposed to roam about the land.
There is perhaps no night in the year which the popular imagination has stamped with a more peculiar character than the evening of October's last day, known as All Hallow Eve or Hallow Eve or Hallowe'en.
The old program „of doing mischief on this occasion, just for mischief's sake, is passing into oblivion and happy social gatherings take the place of the former ways of celebrating,
Many parties are being planned for this night and will be in keeping with the season and people are looking forward to these social features with anticipation of great pleasure.

People Deciding That it is Not
Keep Money at Homes or Busi
ness Places.
The many burglaries and attempted burglaries recently, will undoubtedly mean an increased and extended business for the banks, judging from the talk heard everywhere concerning the danger of having money at the home or business place. In the past few years people in general have become educated to paying all their big bills by check and they are fast learning that it is the best policy for them to pay the small ones in the same way. Men who have been in the habit of keeping considerable money at their homes, business places or on their persons say they have learned a lesson and in the future will keep the money in the bank and pay all their bills by check. This relieves them of all worry about the case of their money and it is much more convenient generally to pay by check than in cash.
