They finally adopted a list of prices that represented a loss of 15c on /the lightest hogs and 50c on the heaviest hogs. The scale adopted bv most traders provided the hogs averaging more than 300 pounds snould sel at $15.25. Those averaging 250 to 300 pounds at $1.50 on down to 225 pounds at $15.65, those down to 210 pounds at $15.75 and the lightest hogs at $15.55. There was a tiptop price of sl6, 10c lower than the Monday top. Throwouts were also 25c lower, with tho sales of pigs Up to $15.25 and the best sows us high as $13.75. There was a good clearance of the receipts of 7,500 hogs and local killers took about d,500 Logs. CATTLE. There wers fewer than 900 cattle arrived for the Tuesday market, but this did not seem to improve the situation or help sellers In checking the attack on prices started several days ago. There were a number of traders who believed the general market was steady with respect to the position in prices as compared with tho-e for the day before, but radical views indicated the trade was the worst sellers have experienced for a long time and that all kinds of cattle used by killers were not only lowei than on Monday but that they were difficult to sell at any price. So far steers and heifers have suffered more than coj stock in the lower movement in prices, but it was observed that there has been a general loss of more than $1 in prices of most of the killing cattle in the last week. Calves were more or less lower, with only odd sales ar high as S2O and heavy sold from $lO down. There was a continued quiet market for feeding cattle. SHEEP. In the receipts of 300 sheep and lambs there was no young stock sold higher than sl9, considered $1 lower than tho have been for some time, and sheep were steady at $lO for the best light sort and $9 down for others.

Today’s Market Gossip Effective Immediately, Canadian wheat board has raised the price of wheat 25 cents to millers. Kansas City wires: “Cash houses say greatly increased offerings of corn from country and Nebraska asking for bids, demand very poor.” Minneapolis Wire; “Cash wheat opens unchanged to five lower. Now 5c to 10c lower. Corn, firm. Oats, strong, to %c up. Rye and barley firm and strong.” British charge d’affairs in Washington Informs Secretary Glass that it is contrary to policy of British treasury to incur any new Indebtedness in United States. It is reported in Chicago that some of the export business in oats is being financed by French treasury bonds. If true it emphasizes money conditions abroad. Treasury department to reduce number of government depositories from 1,331 to about 4CO, changes in government’s financial situation making it necessary to reverse distribution of government’s money. Russelis News bureau quotes New York produce member, just back from Europe, as saying he believe it impossible for Europe to absorb surplus of foodstuffs in store there at prevailing prices and predicts a collapse. Chicago wire says that French cables announce resumption of commerce with Russia. Spring-like temperatures southwest will permit operation of the railroads. Some houses claim consignment notices are increasing. Short Interest has been well wiped out, leaving the market in a weakened condition. Reports reaching Chicago from far southwest and from northwest say that some mills and elevators are closing down because of car shortage. Shippers in this market are doing principally nothing. Seaboard cash hundlers a:e com- ] mencing to resell. Begins to look as though the shipping situation would slow down business of all kinds in all sections. Unable to see wherein conditions of this sort will have anything other than a very bearish outcome. New York dispatch says: “The present week may prove to be a very Important one. There is a chance for the peace treaty. There is a chance of an agreement on the railroad bill. There is a chance of a favorable decision by the supreme court on stock dividend taxes. With any kind of favorable developments the response from the market, because of its technical position, should be a good one, limited onlv bv the matter of credits. The question of money is ever before us and must be taken Into consideration on every market proposition. If a settlement is made : In cong reBS on the railroad matter we will have some lively times In railroad securities. Stranger things could happen than a bull market led by The rails.” i Canners Promise to Aid Food Stock CLEVELAND.

CORN JUDGING RULES CHANGED Part of State Grown in Will Be Given Consideration. URBANA, 'lll., Feb. 3.—A. A. Hill of Decatur, 111., was elected president of the Illinois Corn Growers’ association. Mr. Hill succeeds W. B. Mills of McNabb In tbe executive office. Vice presidents elected were Walter Rowe of Decatur, William Webb of Joliet, J. Smith of Paris, Lee F. Maxey of Curran and J. E. Mumeritt of Lewistown. He A. Winter of Winona was reelected treasurer, and W. H. Holben of Edinburg was re-elected secretary of the association. FIVE DIVISIONS NOAV INSTEAD OF THREE. 4 The chief business conducted resulted in a change in the name of the association, and hereafter it will not be tho Illinois Cora Growers’ association, but will include the word “grain” and be known as the Illinois Corn and Grain Growers’ association. Changes were decided upon for corn Judging, and from now on corn will be judged by the quality, type and according to the part of the state where it is grown. This change was made because there are so many types of the same variety grown, and heretofore there have been certain fixed standards governing corn judging, such as a fixed size. In Judging corn it was not taken into consideration what part of the state it was grown in. Heretofore Illinois has had three horticultural divisions, which have now been increased to five. ASK I/ATER STATE FAIR DATE. The association passed a resolution recommending that the state fair be held later in the year, thus making it possible for them to exhibit this year’s crop. Because of the earliness of the date they have had to exhiibt old corn. They also recommended that county exhibits and county prizes by established at the fair. Resolutions of condolence to be extended to the family of the late Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins were also passed. ————■——^ ] Tn t'i I J years by investing $25 per month j i in high-grade listed ;j stocks and bonds, !j 5 on a novel plan. “Getting Ahead” is |] J as interesting as 1 anything you ever j read.
