Food administration officials reiterated i today th# attitude of the administration expressed in a statement last nighasserting that the action of the war trade board would nullify efforts to siahilixe the price of live hogs.

Cattle Prices Top Heavy. Just what might have been expected from a continued and unusual upturn in prices of cattle has transpired in the local market since Tuesday. At that time it was intimated that the market was top heavy and the crash which started Wednesday was continued Thursday with renewed energy antong buyers to eliminate as much of the recent advance as possible. Two days ago many traders said that a good deal of the business was on a level as high as ever experienced in this market, but the same dealers are now as pessimistic of the future as they were optimistic on Tuesday. If prices were now' quoted $1.00 or mtore lower than two days ago, it would ndt cover the estimates of several traders, but there are others w'ho do not find the greatest loss on different kinds of stock to be more than 50c to $1.00. Veal calves sold from $19.00 down, but the market closed lower. There was no change indicated in tjie Stocker or feeder trade! and that branch of the trade is not Vet affected by the loss on fart cattle. Cattle.

Removal of (he minimum price for hog* bv the food administration laat night had only little effect on the Chicago hog market at the opening. The market advanced 15c to 20c yesterday, and the opening today showed merely a loss of this advance. The corn market, too, pursued Ha nonnal course. Hog packing w-eat for the week ending March 1 Is estimated at 930,000. tom pared with 913.000 the previous week and 843,000 the same week a year ago The total number of hogs slaughtered during the winter season. October 2S. 1918, to March 1 1919. ta e.«tirrjated at 16,614.000. compared with 13,672,000 for the same period last year. New security issues by American railroad and Industrial corporations during February shows a total of *187.643.000 This represents a marked fatilng off, compared with January, but is much in excess of the total for the corresponding month laat year, when hut *69,886,800 waa reported. Gradual tightening of the money situation afford* one explanation for the decrease from the activity In January'. Also the approach of the Victory loan has tended to make bairkeia indisposed

to put out fund# freely.

The regular dividend was declared on Le-

high Valley.

New York Financial Bulletin—The occasional strength of United States Steel lately la ascribed in some quarters to the strong current cash position of the corporation. There is a tendency to look forward to annua! report. The nnmml iheetlng is due April 22. There fa some realising for tfroflt in the stock market on the theory that aa March 15 approaches there will be a strong temporary demand for money for taxes Professional accounts seem inclined to siell short on bulges for turns aa thia time approaches. Predictions arc being made that growing interoat a will appear in speculative investment circles with regard to the shipping shares from now on in view of the big building program of the government as to merchant marine and the necessity of stimulating oc-an irans* portation affairs to get results from foreign

commerce.

Far-reaching effects on the status of the Pgblic utility eompanlea throughout th# United States are anticipated from a decision rendered by the aupreme court in favor of one of the operating properties of the Georgia Light. Power and Railway* Company, tn substance, the decision of the United States supreme court means that rates fixed by a public service commission higher than those stipulated in a contract between' the public utility snd a customer shall hold despite the rontract; just as they would if the commission had lowered the rates. E. F. Hutton A Co., New York—Until our market adjusts itaelf, to the new contract, little attention can be paid to Liverpool quotation#.

They point out that the yield of hogs this season has been the largest in history ahd way there are still many hogs on the farm* because of car shortages and embargoes. ’

New Style Contracts Start Higher. but Work Back Toward Old Styl-. 'NEW YORK. March 6.-The cotton mu t was active and unsettled at the reopening (nr liquidation of old style and trading in the new style contracts today. There waa no business In the m»w style March contract, but May and later new style deliveries sold shout 1(10 to l* points above corresponding old style contracts on the cail. At this difference local and southern spot houses were sellers of the new- style deliveries, which showed a tendency to work nearer the old style after the call. The opening was irregular at an ad\4nce of ISO pointa to a decline of 22 points on the old style contracts, April being 150 points higher and other rnontha 35 golnta higher to 22 polnta lower. Later, old style May sold off from 21.70c to 8 03c. or 18 points net lower, while the new style May eased from 22.00c to 21.90c Trading was almost entirely in the way of switching from old to new style contracts, and the business of this sort became less active as the difference between the old and new deliveries qarrowed. Around midday th» new style contracts were ruling only 45 to 71 points above the old 6tyle. with old atvle May selling at 21 36c, or 5 points above the closing nrtce of last Monday The Interest of traders sA»med to center almost entirely in the transferring of account from the old to the new contract, and little or no attention

was paid ordinary market factors

Near months were relatively firm during the early afternoon, with old March contracts sellihg up *o 23.00e. or 76 point* net htghe-. Thia probebiy afforded encouragement to old longs In May and July and May sold at ?V60r. or SO points net higher. New style contracts, were relatively caster and later fluctuations were irreguar. with the market's ruling around 21.41c for the old stye ami 22.20c far new style May shortly after 3 o'clock.
