The loss In competition and the arrival of 13,00*1 hogs to be offered with 2,500 layovers gave home killers a decided advantage in arranging terms. Noticing the outside demand was most urgent for the light hogs they naturally favored that class *n attacking 'prices, and in some cases they were only 10c lower. grades were no less than 15e lower, aud the heaviest hogs, over 300 pounds average, at sls were 40c lower. The good hogs weighing 250 to 300 pounds were listed at [email protected], 15@30c lower, and those averaging 200 to 250 pounds at $15.5563.35.65 were 10<fil5c lower. The bogs averaging less than 200 pounds at 515.75 were 15c lower, and that was the top price, against $16.15 on Wednesday. Pigs were strong to higher, with sales of feeders and fat pigs from $15.25 down and the sows were a little lower, with 'ales rarely higher than $13.75. It was estimated that about 13,000 bogs were sold. Cattle. There was a sudden suspension in the demand from some of the local killera for fat cattle qualified to sell much higher than the lowest quotations for their respective classes, and although sellers submitted to a general decline of at least 25c in prices, they were unable to clear tbe pens of the good to choice steers, heifers and cows. Bulls were steady aud there was finally n loss of 50c to $1 in prices of calves. A few of the best veals brought $23, but most of the business was at S2O to s2l. There was a continued limited demand for feed ing cattle, but prices were quotably steady. Sheep. So far as the rank and file of the offerings of 500 sheep aud lambs were concerned there was no material change in the list of prices and the bulk of the good to choice lambs sold at $19@20. One lot choice lambs sold at s2l, tlie highest price ever paid in tbe local market. Sheep were steady, with sales from $lO down.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1920.

J Today’s Market Gossip Chicago wire says that these grain markets act as though they wanted to sell off from pure stagnation in tbe railroads' ability to move any stuff In or out and from the congestion that naturally follows such a situation. The large carryover of old grains will become very apparent several weeks hence. St. Louis wires: “There is quite a lot of corn en route to this market already loaded and waiting motive power. One house reports that they have seventy-two cars coming and some of it has been on the way for two weeks.” Savage Arms Corporation declared extra dividend of $5 a share and regular quarterly dividend of $1.50 on common, regular quarterly dividend of 1% per cent on first preferred and 1% per cent on second preferred. Extra common dividend payable April 30 to stock record March 1; regular dividend pays about March 15, record March 1. On Commission Row Turnips advanced 25c a bushel yesterday. Now selling at $3.25. Dealers ■report the supply limited and the demand strong. This is a condition, they r.ay, that is always conducive to higher prise*. Strawberries, because of fresh receipts today, will drop to 85c a quart box today. Dealers look for a more liberal demand at the new prree. Tney have been selling for $1 and $1.25. This price was too high to permit of wide distribution. Parsnips are scarce. One of the largest dealers on the row Is out entirely. Dealers say that stocks arc not to be had at auy price. Shipment of Dromedary dates expected early in February. These dates have been off the market for several weeks. Packers say the labor shortage Is responsible. They contend there are plenty of Dromedarys, but that the labor to i.vk them is not obtainable. Excelsiors are holding , the date market now, at lor three dozen packages. TODAY'S PRICES.

lOWA LEADER IN ANGUS SALES 114 Held for a Total of Over Two Million Doliars. CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—The American Aberdeen-Angus association completed Its records of the results of sales and shows of the breed for the year 1919. The sales in lowa were in the lead In every respect. In spite of the fact that the state received no credit for its large offerings in out of state sales, especially in the International. F. H. Higgins, assistant secretary of the association, who compiled tbe records, issued the following statement: ‘‘The public sale business of the pnrebred Aberdeen-Angus for 1919 was the greatest in the history of the breed. At 114 public sales 5,338 pure-bred cattla were sold for $2,656,336, or an average of $511.59. This was a gain of ovar slll per head from last year, as well as an addition of over 1,200 head of cattle passing through the sale ring, and thirty-two more sales than were held lu 1918. FORTY SALES IN lOWA FOR AN AVERAGE OF $884.31. “lowa was the loading state, over $2,000,000 of the sale business being distributed there. Forty sales In lowa averaged $884.31 and 2,103 head were sold. “Missouri stood second in number of sales with nineteen, celling 822 head at an average of $278.76. Illinois was third with fifteen sales, including the international gale and a sale of Missouri cattle at East St. Louis, selling 715 at an average of $435.33. South Dakota stood fourth In number of sales, 295 head In nine auctions averaging $316.95. GREAT YEAR FOR BREED IN SOUTH. “Tennessee, while only fifth In number of sales, has third position in averages, with $415.08 on 29i head. “Actually their sales were higher than those of Illinois when the International and Matthews sales are eliminated. It was a great year for the south, and Tennessee set the pace. However, there were sales In Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Virginia. Many of these were promotion sale*, and the first the breed had ever had in this territory. But they were real sales, handled by the association field man, and good cattle were distributed. Instead of dumping bad cattle. “This year there will be some twentyfive or thirty state and district association field men held, which the association field men will manage, and the association will offer prize money in shows before tbe sales. It is expected that some 12100 to 1.800 head of pure-bred Aber-deen-Angus will be distributed within the next ninety days through these shows and sales.”
