THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY. JUNE 4, 1920.

8EEF UP; PORK IS DOWN; PERISHABLES BREAK DOWN WILDLY By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The cattle market was so, strong at Chicago on Thursday that ordinary beef grades sold $2 up from the low of the previous week, and the top of the day was 40 cents over the high day of this week. This is a rather , sudden, advance in view of the slow, draggy decline' covering several weeks. -' Prime' steers-sold at $14.75 to $15, with' copamon to good bringing up to $13.50. Some 1,550 pound beeves Bold at $14.75 in carloads. The same price was also paid for yearlings; while two cars of 681 pound heifers brought $14.25. In the face of the steady advance In cattle, hogs have been slowly going lower The price broke 10 to 15 cents Thursday, closing at the bottom, with 14,000 head left in the pens The bulK of sales was made at $13.70 to $14.60, with a top of $14.80 for a few fancy 180 to 225 pound butchers. Lambs also weakened again, were off 25 to 60 cents in fact. Hogs are In liberal receipts and no clean up of the pens has been made in several days. Pork 5 Cents Pound Higher. "When the break in hog prices is considered, it seems out of line to read that there has been a retail advance in pork cuts of about five cents per pound within a week, according to a department store meat market. The buyer said that: "The poor market for raw hides has added about eight cents per pound to the retail prices of veal and lamb. Last month I obtained 55 cents for number 1 calf hides; today I contracted to supply them for 25 cents per pound," As to the price of beef, he stated that there was no relief in sight "until the cheaner grass-fed cattle come in, which will be in six weens or so from now." Fruit and Vegetable Prices Off. There was a remarkable break in the wholesale prices of fruits and veg etables at Chicago on Thursday. The Tribune says it was a "surprising Flump of all perishables." We quote as follows: "The heavy arrivals were responsible for the cheapening all along the line. Cherries and grapefruit led the fruits in the decline, the former selling off $150 a box and the latter falling from $1 to $2 a crate. Cauliflower fell off $1 a crate. Asparagus sold at what the buyer wished to pay Lettuce sold at 3 cents for "iceberg" heads. Radlsues brought ly, cents a bunch, and cabbages and onions were cheaper by from 3 to 7 cents." Sugar Situation Desperate. The situation as to sugar is so desperate, owing to congestion in the freight yards, that an attempt by Chicago government officials and wholesalers is being made to have the railroads allow sugar the same pri oritv shipment rights as apply to fruits, vegetables and other perishables. NEW CREDnvmVEN TO HELP EUROPEANS PARIS. June 4. New and substantial credits for the relief and reconstruction of Central European countries, including Austria and Hungary, have been arranged by Ihe Governments of Great Britain, Denmark. Holland. Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, it was announced today by the International committee for relief credits. The credits mainly are in the form of raw materials and foods, and although the T'nited States is not represented officially on the committee it is co-operating in a large way, it is stated, by providing extensive commodity credit? for Central Europe. The French government, the committers statement points out. is ready to ask the chamber of deputies for the necessary resources in order that France may participate in the relief l-Jans. The Argentine government, the statement, adds, has introduced a bill authorizing an advance of credits p mounting to P.5.000.000 French francs, while the Italian Government is contemplating a credit of 100,000.000 lire. Belgium. Canada and Spain have been approached, but have not sent replies. The credits will be available for Czechoslovakia. Jugo-Slavia, Roumania, the Baltic States.

In the case of Austria and Hungary, these bonds will have priority over reparation payments.

If American statesmen decked themselves out in gorgeous robes of state such as are worn on important occasions by leaders in the British parliament, would

they look dignified and democratic, or only amusing? The above layout affords a clew. At the left. Earl Curzon, the government leader in the house of

lords, is shown in his official robes. At the right are seen the same robes, but the earl's face has been taken out and that of "Uncle Joe" Cannon, cigar and all. has been substituted.
