Kingan A Co. offered only $15.00 for the light hogs and sellers locked up their hogs and decided to wait for future developments. Eastern agents apparently were well supplied with orders and intimated they would have absorbed the supply promptly If they could get an outlet. In the | truck division traders paid $15.25® 15.75 for light hogs snd there was no settled price for other kinds. There was only a slight increase in receipts this week compared with last week and more than 10,000 less less than the same week a year ago. There is a loss of 16.000 for the month to date compared with the same time a year ago. Prices the first half of the week were largely at 115.00 to $17.00, 25c to 80c higher than most of the sales on the closing market last week but Anally there was little difference in general sales compared to a week ago and there has been only a slight net change in -rices compared with those prevail-

four weeks ago.

Ther* were only 300 fresh receipts of cattle for Saturday, but under the circumstances more than necssaary. Lor-al packers were not in the market because of the railroad strike cut j out the outlet for dressed meat and was* no available local refrigerator space to accommodate more, cattle. As a result trading was largely by speculators. Seners were not inclined to transfer their holdings at less than steady prices and a limited business tvas transacted. The calf market was similiarly affected but the run was small. 300. They were sold to speculators at $15.00 down, about steady with Friday. There was little trading In feeding cattle because there was no shipping facil-

ities to country points.

In view of the big receipts and uncertainty of transportation for outbound business, this has been an unusual week in the , local cattle trade. From day to day the opening market was characterised by sluggish trading and a tendency to lower prices but the situation improved before the close of trading with no more than a normal effect on prices. Outside orders sometimes saved the day for sellers and this was reflected in the trade near the close of the week when the outside support slackened and there was a slump in prices. The week ended with prices of steers 25c to 75c lower than on Monday, much of the business 50c lower but final prices were not as low as at the beginning of business last week. There was only a slight adverse change in prices of heifers and cows and in view of the week's receipts of 9.100 cattle, the largest elnce the week ending January 10, the general market was not a disappointment to the selling side. Kingan & Co . alone, bought 2.900 cattle ia

the five days ending Friday.

Conditions in the calf market were no less unusual. There were 4,200 calves In the w-eek’s receipts and the run on Friday, 1.252. was the largest for one day since the record was made in October, 1912. Most of the week the practical top price for calve* was 917.00, but in extreme cases they sold up to $18.50, on Monday. and on Saturday sales were rarely higher than $16.00. There was no material alteration in prices of

feeding catt’.e.

SENDS CORN PRICE UP

NEW HIGH MARKS—ANXIETY OVER RAILROAD STRIKE.

OATS ALSO AT HIGH POINT

CHICAGO. April 10.—Anxiety over the railway strike situation led to new upturns today in the price of corn. All deliveries except May went above previous top figures for the

season.

Covering by short* was on a big scale. Opening prices, which varied from the same as yesterday's finish to l%c higher, with May at $1.87 to $1.68% and July. $1.60% to $1.60%. were followed by material gains all

around.

Subsequently, the fnarket weakened owing to announcement that an Important corn products manufacturing establishment would stop work and would remain closed until the railroad strike was ended. Prices closed nervous, at %c to %c net advance, with May $1.67% to $1.67% and July

$1.60% to $1.60%.

Oats, like corn, reached new high record prices for the season. There was no pressure to sell. After opening a shade off to %c up, including July at 85%c to 36%c. the market

scored a general advance.

Strike Worries Dealers

Rare, indeed, is the wholesaler in Commission row who receives shipments. The strike has tied up many carloads of fruita and vegetables ordered by local dealers. Supplies will be small next week at all houses. A dealer estimates that the supply of apples is large enough to last about thirty days. Among the arrivals, which nosed in ahead of the strike, are California asparagus at $6.00 a case, Florida tomatoes at $3.00@ 4.00 a crate, a car of Texaa garlic at 85 cents a pound and a car of Colorado onions at $6.50 a bag of 100 pounds. Potato prices vary in the Row. One dealer said that he would maintain a price of $11.25 a bag of 100 pounds and another said that his potatoes cost him that much and that he would have to advance prices 50 cent* a bag. The average ration to regular customers is one bag. There are two troubles in connection with the threatening potato famine, dealers say. short crop and the railroad strike*.
