The higher prices and the stronger tendency prevailed during the entire trading and most of the 7.000 fresh hogs and the 330 that were left over from the market of the day before were sold at an early hour. Buying was general, with both the shippers and local packers taking an active part. The clearance of the ms r- ; ket of the day before was much better than was expected and probably had some slight influence of the trend of the market today. A feature of the market was the absence qf extru heavy hogs. There were few hogs on the market that were much above the 300-pound mark. Light hogs were iu more demand than for the past few day* and prices on that grade of hogs were nearer those of the heavy grade of hogs. In fact, the price range was very narrow for the three general grades of hogs • on the market. Lights bogs generally brought $15.88® i 16. but there were a scant few that | brought around $16.15. Heavy hogs were fully 25c higher at [email protected], while a few brought close around $10.85. Early in the trading a bid of $16.(0 was placed on a drove of fine heavy hogs, i but the bid was not accepted and later the same drove was sold at $16.25. The top of the market, $16.35. was paid for a very few extra'fancy heavy i hogs. Mixed hogs were in good demand and brought around $10®10.15, but when* \ were a few that brought $16.25. The bulk of the rough hogs brought ; $14.75&15.25 but one drove of extra good sows brought $15.00. However, this was not and could not be considered as the market. In fact, the sale would be considered as having been made outside the market. There was a fairly good demand for pigs, with the prices ranging at sls® 13.50. The bulk of sales for the day ranged at $18®16.25, really taking in tho average range of prices of the general hog market Trading on the cattle market was not dull, but to say the most, it did not take on a strong tone. The absence of good •tuff waw the principal cause of slow movement of cattle. However, commission men in general are of the opinion that there are better daya ahead shortly for the cattle market. Some are of the opinion that during the last few days there has been a slightly higher tendency of prices on most grade* of cattle, bnt prices in no instance are more than 25c higher than the market of last week. In fact, for the last three months the prices have depended entirely on the grades of cattle that were offered for sale. There was on good lot of cftttle on the market this morning, which brought fancy prices, but the number was so small that it did not materially effect the m *\ k few helfera and cows Liken from a thoroughbred herd attracted the attention of every cattle man In the yard*, the cows bringing $10.50 and the heifers price* were steady with the close of the market of the day before Receipt* for the day approximated 800. There was a low at tendency In price* on the calf market At the opening of the market, bnt a bullish movement caused a resumption of steady prices of the market of the day before, However there waa not the S2O top that prevailed on the Monday and Tueaday market*, but there waa an extreme top of $18.50, with probably not more than ten calves bringing that price. The bulk of the good to choice calves brought sl7®l, with a few at sl9. Heavy and common calve* brongbt around $8(8810. with probably a stronger tendency on the bottom end of tho range. Medium and other grade* were practically steady at $1161115 and slC@l7. There were approximately 500 culvea on the market. With 800 sheep and lambs on the market prices held practically steady. HOGS.

SIGN LANGUAGE RETURNS TO PIT Comes Back With Chicago Trade Board Resumption. CHICAGO, Oct. 7—Sign language, with it* mystery to the lay mind and its vital importance to the trader, came back Into the grain pit after an absence of three years with the recent resumption of dealing in wheat for future delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade. By the simple movement of the finger* buyer* and seller* in the world open market where supply snd demand are the dominating Influence make transactions involving thousand* of dollars within the limit* of a few second*. ’’There is seldom an error despite the volume of business each day.” said Israel P. Rumsey, who became a member of the board Just sixty years ago this month. "Under the board’s rigid rules no contract, oral or written, la more binding that the contracts to which a board member ia a party. ’’Raise a clenched flat, palm turned outward, and you are signalling that you'll sell at an even price of, say. $2. "A finger extended means % cent, two fingers spread apart % cent, and so on. "Turn the palm Inward and it signifies a deaire to purchase. “When the fingers are held vertically the quantity 1* Indicated, each finger representing 5,000 bushels. To the onlooker it is confusing to see a hundred arms and several hundred fingers in the air at one time. ’’But to the official reporter* who re cord each transaction and to the trader* *h<-nitlve there is no doubt or misinterpretation."

Flies Over Route He Took 53 Years Ago Behind Oxen PUEBLO, Colo.. Oct 7.—ln the fall of 1867 "Mike" Studzinski, now mayor of Pueblo, Journeyed from Denver to Pueb lo in an oxcart, taking six weeks to make the trip. Last week. Just fifty-three years later, I the mayor stepped into n giant aeroplane , In Denver and waa whirled to this city in juat fifty minutes. "Viewing tho surroundings from the I clouds revealed some remarkable changes 1 la the territory over which I traveled by j oxcart more than half a century ago," the mayor said after his flight. "There was a caravan of nearly I seventy-fire persons on that Journey fifty-three years ago,” the mayor continued. "More than twenty ox teams vrere In the outfit. At that time Denver had a population of between 2,000 and 3,000.” j Mayor Stndzlnskl snld that one reason j for the length of time consumed In the first, journey was the lack of feed for the oxen. "It would have been manifestly im- j i possible to carry enough feed for all the j oxen," he said, ’’so we let them graze j | along the way. "Many a day 1 was able to Jook buck. ! after stopping fur the night, and see the smoke of our morning camp fires iu the distance. "I doubt if I experienced much more excitement over this air flight than I felt on the oxtart trip,’’ the mayor laughingly declared. "Those were venturesome days. I recall thnt we didn’t encounter u single living soul on all that trip, except at a i camp on the Divide near Palmer Lake. There was no town at Colorado Springs nothing but the springs that gave the present thriving city its name. "We met not even an Indian, wild or otherwise. We found Pueblo a hustling little town even In those days." Stndzlnskl recalled his association with the late Col. William F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody during a stay about a year in Denver previous to hts coming to this city In 1807. Studzlnskl and Buffalo BUI worked together In several Denver restaurants during that period.

Oct. 7—The State D;partment of Agriculture, which has been eeekIne the repeal of daylight saving, has 1 bumped up ac.ciist the fact that daylight ! saving will doubtless be with us fer two i mere year? at least. I The net “to -tore to the citizens of Massachusetts the benefits of daylight . saving,” provides In section 2: "At 2 o’clock of the last Sunday of | March of each year, beginning with the i year 1921. the standard time in this com- ; monwealth shall be advanced one hour.” The only way in which the law can be altered or repealed is by act cf Legisla- ’ ture. ! If the Legislature, either at the special session to be held in November or at the regular session in 1011, should repeal the Jaw, the action of the Legislature can j be halted* by recourse to the initiative j and referendum. ; A petition under the I. and R.. snp- | ported by 15.000 signers, would submit the Legislature’s repeal act to the voters I "at the next regular election,” which will be held in 1922.
