Resumption of trading for Christmas seems to be coming alowt?. and the sales of Christmas trees and other speealties are not as heavy a# they were at this tune last year.

NEW YORK. December 16 —The Iron Age •ays; Th# slowing down of busineM is more premounred at many steel plants, and the problems of cost reduction are uppermost Work is being rearranged to save the overtime resulting from the basic eight-hour day. and reductions in wages amounting to 16 per cent., and in some caaes more, will be made on January 1 by some important independent companies. There are reports of

wage reductions already made at some plants and one case of an offer of employe* to co-

operate in plans for reducing labor cost Wage reductions have touched the base of

the steel industry, the Lake Superior iron ore fields, the Iron Trade Review says. One independent operator has put into effect a cut of 26 per cent, and mother one of 20 per cent. Other companies are expected to follow this lead. There has been a further scaling down of both wage rates

From the start, however, out

side buyers paid up to 10.75 for selected nogs averaging 170 pounds down and at that price they gbt a few loads more on the mixed order, that averaged up to around 200

pounds.

All of th# hogs at $0.75 were 25c higher, those hogs at $0.55 were 15c higher and most of the sales at $0.50 were 15c to 26c higher. The hogs at

those at $0.00 were only steady. About 10 o'clock between 2,000 and $.000 hogs were unsold, and to attract more orders prices were reduced 16c or more, compared with the opening level. Final sales for hogs averaging around 200 pounds or more were

at $9.00 to $0.10.

Fat pigs continued to bring the top price of the market and sold from 09.75 down.- Sows were about 25c lower at $8.00 dowrf. General sales here on Thursday were at $9.00 to $9.50 with several at $9.45 to $9.76. against $9.00 to $9.26, with several at $0.25 to $9.40

WHY FATTEN A COW?

Joseph Gibbons, farmer, of Newport, Ind., came to Indianapolis. Wednesday, to buy some thin cows, to take to his farm to fatten. In the truck which was to carry the cattle, he brought a fat cow, which he asked a commission firm at the stockyards to sell for him, while he was buying the

The top price for yearling steer calf Was again $10.50, but heifers from $6.00 to $7.00 were lower and there was a loss of 25 cents on the cutter cows from $4.00 down and on the canners from $3.00 down. The undercurrent of affairs in the calf market was lower, hut the best veals again sold as high as $13.50. The feeder trade continued rather dull and slow, but prices Were practically

thin ones. The coinmission firm rot a bid of 4%c a pound for the fat animal, while Gibbons had to pay 5.15c for the truck load of thin ones he waa to take home to fatten. While a buyer for one of the big packers was looking at a pen of cattle adjoining the one in which the fat cow was. Gibbons asked him to look at the

cow. What are you asking for her?” he inquired. “I couldn't affora to sell her for less than 6%c.” Gibbons answered. “I might give you 6%c.” said the buyer as he went back to the other pen. Later he returned and offered only 4%c. Gibbons took

the cow back home.

The head of the firm that sold the thin cows says it is not a rare thing Jor thin cows to bring mqre at the yards than fat ones, that it occurs at certain seasons or under certain market situations. "The

packers are bearing down hard on prices just now," he said: "about the only thing

farmers can do. if they do not like the prices, is to hold their stuff back. Gibbons

will probably make good money on the cows he bought when he brings them back hero fat in the spring. The buyer was probably kidding the old man when he men-

COTTON PRICES NERVOUS.

Firm Liverpool Cables. But Some Liquida-

tion and Southern Selling.

NEW YORK. December 16.—The cotton market was nervous and irregular during today’s early trading. Two or three December notices were reported in the street and that delivery opening at a decline of 3 points while other months were 5 to 13 points higher on relatively firm Liverpool cables. * December sold off to 15.23c right after the call, while later months lost their

advance under liquidation by some of yesterday's Wall street buyers influenced bv re-

ports of an easier tone in the stock market and rumors of an easier spot basis in the southwest. January eased off to 15.38c and March to 15.40c. but there was not much southern selling and rallies of 10 or 15

points followed on covering.

Trading was quiet all the morning, with the market narrow enough to be affected by comparatively small orders either way. Opening declines were followed by rallies on covering in the absence of any important southern selling pressure, with January selling up to 15.53c and March to 15.55c. or about 15 to 16 points net higher. This bulge met realizing, however, and the market was quiet around midday, with prices ruling within a few points of last night's closing

figures.

WESTERN EGG PRICES DROP

NEW YORK. December 16.—Prices of fresh western eggs dropped 5 to 8 cents a dozen in the New York market to the basts of 72# 75c a dozen wholesale. This represents a decrease of about 15c from prices quoted a week ago. Storage eggs show little change in an unsteady market. Local wholesaler* explain that the decrease is due to heavy receipts from the west and southwest, caused by unusually warm weather for this season.

COFFEE AT NEW LOW MARK

NEW YORK, December 16—Coffee futures broke into new low ground on the call, reflecting continued depression in Brazil. Options opened 16 points lower, or the lowest since trading was resumed nearly two year* ago.
