reach ao that It was later than aaual before
a clearance waa made. One groa. trouble
la the ahortaga of refrigerator cars, meklm
It difficult for iiackera to move the product
There la a dot and for all the mat prod
ucta that packers can turn out b ' the dlf
ftoulttea of delivering the prndunt are many

promised
to
smash tha new record of 419 cars, or 24,144
head, made yesterday. Early estimates
placed the run at 429 toads, or 14,999 bead,
aad as suDDlies have been overruolns every
day thla weak It would not be surprising
If the oOelal totals showed 2C9 loads got
In. So far this week receipt have been
191.921 head, which la 41.909 heavier than
: a week age. 21,000 larger than two weeks
I go and 29,290 more than were here during
tha Mrntiwsslnc days laat year.
Altheturh yostarday's close waa alow aad,
If anything, aaater, than any olber time of
day, thera were no quotable reductions
rom early prices and almost everything that
waa yarded before 1 o'cteok was cleaned
up. Tralna that did not get la until late In
tho afternoon carried a number of cars
which wei carried over for today and
count In today's receipt.
' After holding up well under tho Aood of
hogs for two days the market anally
showed tho effect of the big run this morn
ing, prices suffering a aharp setback. First
packar bids wore a much as lie lower, but
buyers soon bettered theee and before raid
forenoon a (roe movement waa In arogreei
at figures that wore generally around ltvc
lower than yesterday. Shippers weat slow
ly again, fit Hag their orders, which wore
mostly for good light butchers at prioas
that wore dime to In most eases loo
lower.
If aaythmsj trade got s little better after
tho oponkac and plenty of sales wore made
that did not look to be over a dime lower
than yesterday. Lights showed tho ssual
uoovonoss.' but a a general thing moved
at a boat tho ammo reduotloLs as other
grades. aThlpsora In tho end proved to bo
fairly heavy buyers, as they stayed In tho
market ail forenoon. At midday moot of
tho hogs that had soon yarded were out
of first haada. There were still' bettor
' than 190 ears ont
While on paper vsJwes looked mostly llo
tower, It Is likely that at least half of
tho Individual sales mads up to noon were
no more than a dime lower, as buyers all
ooraplsinod that tho quality waa not no
good as yesterday, and the percentage of
light hogs seemed to bo greatly Increased.
Balk of the offertnim moved at 111. 1093
11.99. with senas plain mixed and under
weight bu aches under that The boat price
that had bee reported was $11.19.

Coffee Market.
New Tork, Keb. 9. There was a further
decline In the market for coffee futures
here today under trade selling and scatter
ing liquidation, part of which was attributed
to houses with Kuropean connections. The
market opened unchanged to 1 point higher
on a utile covering, but soon weakened, with
May contracts selling oft st 1.12c and July
to ,12r, or 9 to 19 points net lower, and
Into new low ground for tho movement.
Reports that coat and freight offers were
lower and rumors of lower freight re tea
from Brest I may have contributed to some
of the late selling. The close was 10 to 19
points lower. Rales, 97,100. February,

British Blacklist
Doesn't Invalidate
The Contracts Made
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Shanghai, Dec. 29. Jndge Lobin-
gier of the United State! court for
China, has rendered a rerdict against
Swajrne & Hoyt, incorporated, an
American company, engaged in the
shipping trade, which has a vital
bearing on the attitude of Americans
toward the English black-list and is
attracting wide attention.
The American company, which is
represented in Shaghai by Jardine,
Matheson & Co., an English corpora
tion, refused to accept freight from
Leverett, a Shanghai forwarding
agent, because the freight was the
property of Germans or other per
sons who were on the British black
list. Consequently space was denied
on the defendants' steamship Yuca
tan, sailing from Shanghai for Japan
ana San Francisco last May. Japanese
steamship companies accepted the
freight, but at a higher rate, and the
rerdict of $2,700 granted to Leverett
against the American carrier was for
the difference in freight rates.
Everett was first denied space on
the Yucatan on the ground there was
no space. Other cargo was accepted
after this statement was made to him.
Evidence produced in the trial showed
that Jardine, Matheson & Lo., finally
told Everett the cargo could not be
accepted because the British consul
general would not give his approval.
In .his decision against the carrier
Judge Lobingier held that the mere
fact that the company was represent
ed in Shanghai by English agents
did not free it from responsibility
from the loss the defendant suffered
as a result of the discrimination made
against his cargo by foreign agents
who complied with tnghsn regula
tions in violation of American law.
As yet no appeal has been lodged
against the decision. Were the de
fendants to appeal, the hearing would
be in the circuit court of appeals of
the Ninth Judicial district, which sits
in aan hrancuco.

The
Battle Cry
of Peace
is not a dry preachment
for preparedness
It's a living, breathing
story of what's liable to
happen to you if this
country does not pre
pare. It's just as vital to every
woman and girl as it is
to every man, and it
represents the very last
word in motography.
Thousands upon thous
ands are massed in the
big war scenes, and an
untold amount of prop
erty devastated simply
to show you the awful
horrors of war if it does
come and
We Are Unprepared
We again repeat we are
not simply showing this
feature for pecuniary
purposes, but for the
good it will do as well.
