In addition to this number there were sev eral car carried over from yesterday, so that there waa a total of over lsu car on ale. With the market extremely uneven ytvterdty and almost aa much so again today, every one waa completely at sea and no ono claimed to b able to tell ex actly what the market waa. A man opinion would naturally be baaed upon the time he acid yesterday, and a there was . a difference of about 2oc between the etrly and let sales yesterday, it will be readily undercocd how hard U is to make a com varieon today. t Generally speaking the market thi morning started out 20c lower tlmn the bst time yesterday morning, which n.tans that the early hog aold not f.r front where they did at yesterday's close. Bcme salesmen were reporting the market a about ateady with Tuesday, but that wculd be putting It pretty strong on the beet hogs at least. A good many of the early sale were Inside the range 84.00 44.20, with quite a long string at (n 10 and on up a high a 84.36 for very good hog. Some of the packers were Very bearish In -their view and were not trying to do much at tbu trcvaillng prices, so that the trade was at no time very active,-In fact, It took good (11 cf work on the part of sellers to unload. , At midday there were still ten leads of hogs In first hands unsold, but the most of them were light weights. The fact Is light weight hogs suffered the most decline nd buyer discriminated very ctrongly Kainat the common grades of light hogs, (specially, and holder of such found It hard work to unload. It took right good light weights to bring H0U, and anything on the plain order buyers wanted at. con siderably lea than that figure. Representative sales: No. At. ga. Pr. Me, at. la.

Aa to price mere was no very great cnans, some of the enme aturf here yesterday brought the same price again today, while In other case lower price were paid, but the etuff wns neavier in weight. Thus salesmen were quoting their sales anywhere from steady to aa much a weak to Iuo lower. The weakness, aa noted above, was prin cipally on ewes, owing to the fact that there was really more ewe than the mar ket required. i Theie were no feeder of any conse quence here to make a test of the market on that rise.

In hi address President Roosevelt said: "We have met here to celebrate the hun dredth anniversary "of the birth of one of the two greatest American; of one of the two greatest men of the nineteenth century; of on of the greatest men In the world' history. Thi rail splitter, thi boy who passed his ' ungainly , youth In the dlr poverty of the pooreit of th frontier folk, whose rise, waa by weary and painful labor, lived to lead hi people through the burning flame of a truggle from which the nation emerged purified a by fire, born anew to a loftier life. After long year of Iron effort, and ot failure that cam more often than vie-, tory, he at last rose to the leadership of the republic, at th moment when that leadership had become the stupendous world-task of the time. He grew to know greatness, but never ease. Success came to him, but never happiness, save that which springs from doing well a painful and a vital task. Power wa hi, but not pleasure. The furrow deepened on his brow, but his eyes were undlmmed by lther hate or fear. HI gaunt shoulders were bowed, but hi steel thew never faltered aa he bore for a burden the de tlnie of hi people. His great and tender heart shrank from giving pain; and the task allotted him wa to pour out lik Water the life-blood of the young men, nd to feel in hi every fiber th sorrow of the women. Disaster saddened but never dismayed him. A th red year of war went by they found him ever doing hi duty in the present, ever facing the future with fearless front, high of heart, and dauntless of soul. Unbroken by hatred, unshaken by acorn, he worked and suffered for th people. Triumph wa his at last; And barely had he tasted It before murder found him, and th kindly, patient, fear lea eye were closed forever. Washington ail Lincoln. "A a people we ere Indeed beyond meas ure fortunate In the character of the two gretet ot our publlo men, Weshlngton And Lincoln. Widely though they differed in externals, the Virginia landed gentleman and the Kentucky backwoodsman, they wers alike In essentials, they wen alike In th great qualitlc which render each able to render ervlce to hi nation and to All mankind such a no other man of hi gen eration could or did render. Each had lofty Ideals, but each In striving to attain these lofty Ideals wa guided by the sound eat common sense Each possessed Inflex mie courage In adversity, and a soul wholly unspoiled by .prosperity. Each pos sessed an the gentler virtues commonly exhibited by good men who lack rugged strength of character. Each possessed also th strong qualities commonly exhlbted by those towering master of mankind who hav too often . shown themselves devoid of so much a the understand of the word by which we signify the qualities of duty, of mercy, of devotion to the right, of lofty dialnterestedneis in bat tllng for th good of other. There have been other men aa great and other men a good; but In all th history of mankind ther are no other two great men a good a tnese, no other two good men aa areat Widely though the problem of today differ from the problem set for solution to Washington when he founded thi nation, to Lincoln when he saved It and freed the lave, yet the qualities they showed In meeting these problem are exactly th am a those we should show In doing our work today. "Lincoln sa into th future with the prophetlo Imagination usually vouchsafed only to the poet And the seer. He had In him all the lift toward greatness of the visionary, without any of the visionary' fanaticism or egotism, without any of the visionary narrow jealousy of the practical man and inability to trlve In practical fashion for the realisation of an Ideal. H had the practical man hard common sense and willingness to Adapt mean to end, but ther wa In him none of that morbid growth of mind and oul which blind so many practical men to th higher things of life. No mors practical man ever lived than this homely backwoods Idealist, but he hd nothing In common with thoae prao-tk-al men whose conscience 'are warped until they fall to distinguish between good and evil, fail to understand that strength, ability, shrewdness, whether In the world of business or of politics, only serv to make their possessor a more noxious, a more evil member of the community,' if they are not guided and controlled by a tine and high moral aense. - Lincoln's Sanity la Reform. "We of this day must try to solve many social and Induatrial problems, requiring to an especial degree the combination of In domitable resolution with cool-headed san ity. We can profit by the way in which Lincoln used both these trait a h atrove for reform, w can learn much of value from the vry attack which following that course brought upon his head, attack silk by the extremist of revolution and by the extremKt of reaction. He never wavered In devotion tohi principles. In hi love for the union and In hi abhorrence of slavory. Timid and lukewarm . people were always denouncing h.m because he was 'too ex treme, but as A matter of fact he never went to extremes, h worked step by tep; and because of this the extremists hated and denounced him with a fervor which now seem to ua fantastic In Its delflcstlon of the unreal and th Impossible. At the very time when one side was holding him up aa the apostle of social revolution be cauae he waa against alavery, the leading abolitionist denounced him as the "slave hound of Illinuia.'. When he wa th sec ond time candidate for president the major ity of hi opponent attacked him because of what they termed hi extreme radicalism, while a minority threatened to bolt his nomination because be wa not radical enough. He had continually to check those who wished $0 gt forward too fait. At it very time that he overrode th oppoiltlon of thoie who wished not to go forward At all. The goal was never dim before hi vision, but h picked hi way cautiously, without either halt or hurry, a he stiodu toward it, through auch A moras ot diffi culty that no man ot less oourag would hav attempted it, while It would surely hav overwhelmed any man of Judgment less sercn. Tet perhaps the most Wonderful thing ot all, and, from the standpoint of th America today and of th future, th moat vitally Important, waa the extraordinary way in which Lincoln could fight val iantly against what he deemed wrong and yet preserve undiminished hi lov And respect for th brother from whom he dif fered. In th hour of a triumph that would have turned any weaker man' head. In th heat Of A atruggl which purred many a good man to dreadful vlndlctlveness, he said truthfully that so long as he had been In hi office h had never willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom, and besought hi supporter to study the Incident of the . trial through which they were passing as philosophy from which to learn wisdom and not A wrongs to be Avenged; end ing with the solemn exhortation that, aa the strife 'wa over, all ahould reunite In a common effort to save their common country. aAllty f Clear Vision. "He lived In day that were great and terrible, when, brother fought against brothar for what each slnoerely deemed to b th right In a contest o grim the strong men who alone can carry it through ar rarely Able to do Justice to the deep convictions of those with whom they grappl In mortal strife. At suoh time men see through a glass darkly; to only the rarest and loftiest spirits is vouchsafed that clear vision which grad usually comes to all, even to the lesser, aa the atruggl fade Into distance, and wounds are forgotten, and peace creep back to the hearts that wer hurt. But to Lincoln wa given thi supreme vision. H did not hate the man from whom he differed. Weakness was aa foreign Aa wickedness to hi strong, gentle nature; but his courage waa of a quality so high that It needed no bolstering of dark pas sion. He saw clearly that the same high qualities, the same courage And willing nes for self-sacrifice and devotion to the right aa It wa given them to aee the right, belonged to both the men of th north and to the men of the south. As the years roll by and as all of us wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and self-devotion, alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar aense of pride In the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people and for tre freedom of a race, th lover of his country and of all mankind, the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty day, Abra ham Lincoln."

"Great men ar th noblest possession of a nation," said Mr. Bryc In conclusion, "and Are potent forces In the moulding of national character. Their Influence lives after them and If they be good as well A great they remain as beacon -lighting the Course of all who follow them. They set for succeeding generation the stand ards of publio life. They stir the spirit And rouse the energy of the youth who seek to emulate their virtue In the service of the country. Thus did the memory of George Washington stir and rouse IJncoln himself. Thus will the memory of Lincoln live and endure among you, gathering reverence from age to age, the memory of one who saved your republic by his Wis dom, his constancy, his faith In the people and In freedom, the memory of a plain and simple man, yet crowned with th knightly virtue 4f truthfulness, honor and cour age." Address of M. Jaaaeraad, M. Juaserand, the French ambassador, spok as follow: On two tragic occasions, at A century's distance the fate of this country trembled In the balance. A leader was wanted on both occasions. This boon from above wa r ran ted to tha American people who had a Washington, when a Washington was needed, and a Lincoln, when a Lincoln could save them. Both had enemies, both had doubters, both wer recognised by thu nation at large a the men to shape the nation' destinies. After reviewing briefly the early life of Lincoln and showing that it was his peculiar training that had fitted hor for great responsibilities, Ambassador Jesser and aald: He was accustomed not to be surprised, but to decide and act. And so, confronted with circumstance which were so extra-ordinary a to be new to ail. he wa the man least astonished In the government. Ills rough and shrewd Instinct proved of better avail than the clever mind of hi more refined and better instructed seconds. It wa Lincoln's Instinct which chocked Seward' complicated schemes and danger ous calculation. Lincoln could not calcu late so cleverly, but fie could guess better. His Instinct, his good sense, his personal disinterestedness, his warmth of heart for friend or foe, his high aim led him through the awful year of anguish and blood-shed dsrlng which, ceaeeleasly, wer Increased the numbur of fields decked with tomb, and no one knew whether there would be one, powerful nation or two weaker one, the odd were so great. They led bliu through the worst and through the beat hours; and that of triumph found him none other than what he had been before, a man of duty, the devoted servant of his country, with deeper furrow on hi face and more melancholy In hi heart. And o, after having saved the nation, he went to hi doom and fell, a he had long tore soon, a victim to thu cause for which he bad fought. The emotion caused by the event waa Immense. Among my com- fatrlots, part were for the south, part fur he north; they should not be blamed; It was the same In America, When the catastophe happened, there wer no more difference and the whole French nation wa united in feeling, t'rom the emperor and empress who telegraphed to Mrs. IJncoln, to th sumblest workman, the emotion wa th aame; a wave of sym pathy covered the country, such a on. aa wa never seen. A subecrlptlon wa opened to hav a medal struck, and a copy In gold frsented to Mrs. IJncoln. In order that t might be a truly national offering, It wa decided that no on would be permitted to aubscrlbe more than two cents. Th necessary money was collected In an in stant, and the medui wa struck bearing these memorable worda: "Dedicated by the Wench Democracy to Lincoln, honest manl who abolished slavery, re-eataiillshed the Union, saved the Republic, without veil ing the statue of Liberty."

Uuch was the fate of Lincoln. Tribute of Senator Lodge. BOSTON, Mass.,' Feb. U.-The life and work of Abraham Lincoln were the sub jects of an address by Senator Lodge be fore the Massachusetts legislature today. Reviewing the early vicissitude of th great emancipator and speaking of his splendid quailtlea of mind, he Bnoke at length upon tho crIUclam and abuse that was hurled at IJncoln during the trying day of the civil war. - "I wish," he aid, "merely to detach Lincoln from the myth, which has posses sion of us all, that hi wisdom, his purity and hi jgreatnea were As obvious And Acknowledged, or ought to hav been as obvious And Acknowledged, In hi life time as they are today." Mr. Lodge apok of the growth in power of the central government, which, he said, wa Inevitable, because, he added, It goes hand In hand with the growth of the country. Nothing can accelerate the growth of the national power to an un wholesome degree so much a the failure of the states, from local or selfish motives, to do their part In the promotion of meas ures which the good of the whole people, without respect to state lines, demand. No such reproach, a far a I am aware, lie at the door of Massachusetts. Th president of the United Btatcs ha aald, not once but many time, that if every tate had adopted corporation and railroad law like thoee of Massachusetts there would hav been no need of much of that national railroad legtxlatlon which he ha advised and which' ha been largely en acted. Mr. Lodge declared that no tat should be given a right to disregard a treaty made by the United Htate or to so set as to bring war uion the nation. "The people of the United States," he said, "will not long suffer their foreign relations to be Imperiled or permit 'th peace of the country to be put In Jeopardy because some one tat doe not choose to submit to the action of the general government In A matter with which th general government alone can deul."
