SMALL SUPPLY OF HOGS BRINGS BETTER PRICES

lexas Carloads Bring Big

rrices at Chicago Local Market Figures. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The supply of hog3 was bo light at western packing centers Saturday that

a considerable advance over Friday's

low ngures resulted. The average price at Chicago on Saturday, $19.15, was 65c over the Friday average, while

the Armour droves cost $1.60 above their Friday purchases, because they

got a much better class of hogs.

ught bacon hogs and light butchers brought $20.25, and this top price of the day was paid for seven carloads from Texas, surprising as that statement would seem in view of the long haul in hot weather. The top at Chicago on Friday was $20.00. Compared with one week ago average price of cattle at Chicago was 15 cents lower, at $15.75; hogs, 25 cents lower at $18.45; sheep, 25 cents higher at $8.75, and lambs, $1.45 lower at $14.75. Despite the fact that the cattle market closed higher on Saturday than one week ago, prime cattle reaching $17.85, the average price for the week was lowered by the receipt of much inferior stuff. Receipts of cattle for the week were 22,000 less than for the previous week and 30,000 below those for the same week in 1918. Owing to demoralized conditions the receipts of hogs at the 11 western markets fell off 110,000 head, compared with a week earlier, and they were also 77,000 below the corresponding week last year, when the average price was 80 higher, at $19.25. 1918 Hog Prices Compared. A comparison of the prices paid for hogs in all principal markets, east and west, last Saturday, with the same date a year ago, shows that hogs brought more money in 1918, both as to tops and averages. September corn, in the meanwhile, was just 10 cents per bushel below present price, at $1.54. Comparing Saturday's top at Chicago with same date in 1918 that market was 80 cents lower; Kansas City, Roc; 'Omaha, 50c; St. Joseph. 40c; Sioux City, 70c: St. Paul. 50c; Pittsburgh, 70c; and Louisville, 80c per 100 less money. East Buffalo and St.Louis market tops were slightly higher this year than last, for local reasons. What Happened to Corn. In view or the recent ups and downs in the live stock markets, and the reaching of much lower price levels it will be of interest to note what has happened to the Chicago corn market. The high water mark on September corn was $1.9S, and the low to date, $1.59; the close last Saturday, $1.64 . The top on December corn was $1.73, the low, $l.27l,i. and Saturday's closing price, $1.3194. The other western markets are, in the main, at parity with Chicago. Corn has been on the down turn for 40 days, indicating a tremendous change, not only in sentiment, but. also in fundnmental conditions. September oats closed on Saturday at 70c and December oats at 72V4 about iGc per bushel below their top prices. Including ten carloads on through billing, the receipts at Glen Miller last veek consisted of 124 head of cattle, 54 hop:s, 775 head of sheep and lambs, and 40 veal calves. The first arrivals of Wayne county's crop of spring pigs came in from off the Arba pike during the week. E. O. Albright marketed 33 head which average 150 pounds and sold at 18 cents. Monday and Tuesday's advance in the hog market was all lost by Friday morning. Havy hogs sold here on'Saturday at $17.50; medium weights at $1S to $19, with light hogs at $15 to $17, as to quality; thso ranged at from 100 pounds up to 150. A lot of cattle arriving at the local yards

from the west, and costing $8 to $10 now. were going the other way 30 days aso at $12 to $15. Lambs were slow of sale last week, r.ntl hard to get rid of at a decent price. Buck lambs sold as low as SS to $10 for heavies, choice veals were steady, the top being $16. while heavies and thins sold at from $5 to $8. on th- local market. Shippers and Prices Vern Chenoweth made the largest delivery of hoss for the week, 62 head, which brought him $3,299.50. Sam Mikel delivered a little lot, only 13 head which weighed 3S10 pounds, sold for 17' 2 cents and cashed in for $666.75. J. P. BUhop, Harry Jordan. George Harley. Ernest Baker. Elwood Fulton, Raymond Farst, Joe Pittman and Earl Mann were among the men who delivered hogs on Saturday. Deliveries of live stock during the week were also made by Ott Cranor, Ed Dot an. G. T. Adkins. Ben Toschlog. Marshall Frazee, Dave Conway. Bert Hunt. Charles Meyers. Harry Osborne, Fred Varnauf. Joseph Roberts. Walter Rhulin, Tony Clingenbiel, and L. L. Hinshaw.

British Government

Will Fight Packers

LONDON, Sept. 8. The British government is taking drastic measures to fight American packers, says the Herald, the labor organ. This decision ".vas dictated, according to the newspaper owing to the "strangle hold" big American packers are exerting on the British provision import trade and arrangements virtually have been completed for the establishment of a brokers' pool for those firms whose business has dropped to almost nothing owing to the alleged operations of the packers and who refuse to throw in their lot with the packers. The Herald quotes an officer of the food ministry as saying that "we are trying to make arrangements by which British traders may have a share in the trade which formerly was in the hands of the American packers' agents."

Farm Tools to Stay Up, Dealer Guesses Farm implements will not decline In price next spring. They will either be about the same or go up, and the coming spring will see a shortage, in the opinion of a local dealer.

According to this dealer, the great demand for American farm machinery by Europe Is responsible for this, as Europe will pay almost any price demanded and will in a great many cases give more than is asked, for preference In delivery. The decreased production of steel and the high wfes demanded by labor, are also causes. ' , , ,
