than a week age, but Is about 1,001 larger
than two weeks ago, and 1,000 heavier than
(or the correeDondlng Monday of last year.
Prices showed a higher trend again to
d.y, though the unsvennesa of lights, and
the fact that- quality showed tho usual
: Monday sailing off. made it hard to com
pere prices very accurately with laat week's
eioee. nntppera tooa aoout meir
quota, buying mainly the good lights and
butchers on 6910c higher basis, and
packers paid a full I9t 0 upturn on the
butcher and heavy Hinds.
; As noted above, light, plain mixed and
underweight klnda were extremely uneven.
Some of the lights, especially the better
kinfia, on wnich snippers woum compete,
showed the full strength of the market,
being In many cases a dime, and In extreme
instances io mgnsr. utners, nowever,
were discriminated against all day, and at
a lato hour there were everal loads still
in first hands, some of which had new
even attracted an offer, while others wsre
wanted at prices that wore at the best no
more than steady. , ,
The bulk of the offerings sold at figures
that were a big 6910c higher, a good many
tracers quoting the .market flat dime up.
Most of the sales landed at IU.O09U.4O,

Hheep There was a liberal run of sheep
snd lambs on hand for the opening day of
the week, rerelpls being estimated at sil
ly -seven loads, or 11,000 head. This Is the
largeit run since three weeks ago, being
i.rrf7 inree umee aa targe as laat week,
over 7,104 heavier than two weeks tiro, and
a gain ot almost 6,000 head as compared
with a year ago.
The opening of the fat lamb trade was
a little draggy, buyers making first bids
en a generally easier basts, but when traders
settled down to business It was at figures
that, while possibly lower than the high
time on Friday's close, wsre steady with
rnuay genera, mantel.
A good share of the desirable Iamba sold
upwaraa irons wnt e both lla-ht end
handy weeterna and good Mexicans of fairly
strong weights reached 114.16. There were
no light Mexicans on offsr and while the
lop of 914.36 seemed to be a deadline It
looked as though, compared with the way
the stuff that was here sold, handy Mexl
cans should be quotable to 914.16. Good fall
clipped tamos landed at 112.60, a record
ior ioe yarns.
Old sheep were fully steady and some
ealee were called strong. As usual, ewea
made up almost the entire supply, the beat
on offer bringing 110,96, while quite a bit
of the better stuff sold upwards from
910.09, and a plain kind brousht 19.26. A
'bunch of good heavy yearlings sold at 911. 50
and a small package of wethers brought
4)10
Feeder limbs were In keen reoueat and
a fair supply sold sharply higher than last
week. There have been few feeders here
lately to furnish a basis of comparison for
- today'a sales, but a majority of the trad
; tre quoted prices a quarter higher than
last week. A string of good Idaho shear
tng lambs reached 911.16, while stuff of
: lighter weights and very good quality
Loucneo n.i, a reoora tor tae market, and
within a dime or the day a top on killers.

Omaha Futures.
The trade in local futures was very active
today and prices on wheat were very irregu
lar, the opening prices on both the May and
July options being about 2e higher, and
theaa options closing at 4c to 5c decline.
The seaboard demand for wheat has fallen
off materially as a result of the lnMllly
to move the grain already bought, but the
decline today was also the result of a heavy
selling pressurs and iiop ices orm)r.
cllne, July corn dropped 10 and the May
declined lo from the high point of the
rtOat followed In sympathy with wheat
and corn, the May article closing o lower
and the July closing nominally 4u w""-
that a predicted cold wave would cans a
serious dsmage to ths domestic winter crop
led afterward to a new advance, but was
offset later by lack of urgent fresh export
purrhaalng. Then came news of a second
Inquiry as to whether and American sailors
had been Oaken to Germany as war prison-

New Tork, Jan. 39. Beginning with a
general demonstration of strength today's
listless and highly professional market soon
reacted, virtually all gains giving way to
losses of 1 to I points among leaders and
greater recessions In the speculative shares.
The superficial character was Indicated
by the limited volume of the trading. Only
460,000 shares were dealt in. United .States
Steel and other conspicuous industrials, as
well as coppers, shippings and peroleums
contributing a preponderance percentage.
More than ordinary Interest attached to
the course of United S la tee Steel because
of tomorrow's quarterly meeting of the di
rectors, when action on the common divi
dend Is to be taken, together with publica
tion of the financial statement. Steel moved
betwecnI14 and 112, Closing at the low
point, a net loss of 1 points.
Bethlehem Steel lost 10 points on two
sales and low-priced Industrials yleldM 1
to 2 poinu with 4 for Nova Scotia Steel
and an much for Oulf States Steel.
Metals and shippings became heavy after
their early advance and Mexicans, sugars,
leathers and papers succumbed to moder
ate pressure. The ' automobile group
dragged throughout, with an extreme loss
of I points for General Motors and 1 to 2
points for subsidiaries. Inactive specialties
were Irregular, reflecting the operations of
pools and cliques.
The heaviness of New Haven, which fell
to 3, within a small fraction of Its mini
mum price of many years, was a disquiet
ing feature In the railway division, repre
sentative Issues manifesting eaalor or re
actionary tendencies. Reading and other
coalers were firm until the final hour, when
the entire list was at Iweat levels.
Exchange rates on the belligerent coun
tries were confusing, rubles, marks and llres
making concessions, although not to recent
low records, with steadiness In remittances
to London and Parts.
The firmness of bonds was the most strik
ing In view of the unsettlement In stocks.
Internationals held their ground, except fen
a slight shading of United Kingdom 6s.

THE UNITED STATES IS OBLIGATED TO MAINTAIN A STABLE GOVERNMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF HATTI
Th Treaty between th United State and the Republic of Hayti, concluded in 1916 and now in full
operation, is regarded as the strongest protectorate existing between the United States and any other Country,
including as it does the maintenance of order and the receipt and disbursement of Government funds.
We believe the stocks of the Haytian American Corporation offer a most exceptional opportunity for
the safe investment of funds, with every indication of increasing dividend returns- and base our conclusions
on the following salient points: ,
1st. The Treaty between the Republic of Hayti and the United States of America.
2nd. The control of the Railroad, Electric Light Plant, and Wharf and Warehouse, now
operating under exclusive concessions at Port au Prince, the capital and principal seaport, located
in the most thickly populated part of the country, together with th electric light property at
Cap-Haitian.
3rd!1 The particular value of these utilities to th operation of an extensive development
In the cultivation, manufacture and shipment of sugar.
4th, The control of approximately 20,000 acres of the most valuable sugar lands in Hayti
and a sugar mill of 300,000 tons grinding capacity, now in course of erection, located in the
plains served by the railroad and ad jacent to Port au Prince.
5th. The specially favorable conditions of land and labor in Hayti for the economical pro.
duction of sugar, as compared with Cuba where cost of sugar production up to the present time
has been considered the lowest in the world.

servatively estimated that the annual net earnings for the Corporation will be $1,339,540, which
will leave after payment of the 7 per cent Preferred Stock dividend, and the regular dividend of $7

Stock (if any remain outstanding); one-third as an extra dividend on the Ordinary Common

owners of the Public Utilities, who, after many years of successful operation, will continue to
assist in their management.

nence in the sugar world and their service as directors of the Company.
