HOU.S block trains that pulled up to the
unloading chutes this morning carried a
liberal quota at hogs, fully M loads show
ins up in tvll. Burdened with these heavy
receipts, many sailers expected a lower
trade and look advantage ot weaker bids
put out at tha winning by on or two of Uie
tegular buyers. 80111 llttla business was
(ioiio on a slightly lower basis, but tha
market improved rapidly under tha Influ
ence of a broad anu active demand, bulk
belling at figures strong to a nickel higher
Uiau yesleruay's bulk.
Two coudiuona wort mainly responsible
for partial reaction today, a curtalird sup
ply at Chicago and a better shipping and
speculative demand locally. Chicago re
ceived only M.uuO head out of an estimate
of 7,000 head, while revival in speculative
demand wait shown in tha purchase of fully
10 per cent of local receipts.
Movement was featured by freedom from
ttart to finish and tha 11 o'clock clearance
waa practically complete. Heavy huga sold
st the usual discounts under good butcher
end bacon grades, but spreads were season
ably narrow, lxuig atrlnga ranged from
K.8O4316.W). and tops reached 86 Do.

I M;V YORK, Feb 21. I.il.ei al adtances
in prices In the ttik exchange today
placed slocks well on their way lo tne
level of a week ago. The upward move
ment was bread enough to snow that the
market hud recovered Itself. The opening
was sitting and after the unimportant dip
In the first hour, prices held firm on &
higher level.
In the 11 riej noon there was a sharp ad
vance which was significant, chiefly be
cause the must important stocks led in the
movement. Atchison gained two points and
1'nlon Faclflc. Reading, I'nlted States
Steel, New York Central and others ad
vanced more than a point. Profit taking
at the close reduced the gains somewhat.
Trading was largely In the hands of pro
fessional speculators. Technically the
market is stronger than at any time since
tho rate derisions were announced last
week. That development Induced not only
liquidation, but fairly heavy selling, with
the result that there was growing uneasi
ness on the short side today, and eagerness
to cover, was responsible In no small part
for the upward trend of prices.
Tradera were in a more cheerful frame of
mind, and ihere were developments which
gave point to their optimism. Chief among
these was the statement of the chairman
of the United States Steel corporation that
he expected no permanent Ill-effects from
the decision against the railroads, and
that the steel corporations orders had in
creased this month. Mis statement was
usetl effectively by bull operators in bid
ding up prices. The momentary situation
was without material change here, although
more than the usual shifting of loans took
place In connection with the pavment of
over tlOO.OOO.noo in interest and dividends
falling due tomorrow.
Transactions In stocks during the month
ended today were the lightest since last
September ami the smallest of any Febru
ary since 1X97. in no day were l.Oim.OOj
slmres dealt in. Tiond sales were not large,
but exceeded the recent average.
Honds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, t2,4r..flit.

Australia and the
American Meat Trust
Why the Bip United Statet Packers
Are Shut Out of the Anti
podean Trade.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-The attitude of the
Australian government toward the "meat
trust" is Interesting In several phases.
About ten years ago. It is said, one of the
largest of the Chicago packing companies
canvassed Australia with a view to estab
lishing a large plant there, but found the
strength of the labor unions not to its
liking and abandoned the idea.
An Important reason for this proposed en
terprise was the American occupation of
the Philippines. The American troops In
the archipelago had been fed on Austral
lap meats obtained by contrail with com
monwealth companies anil conveyed to
Manila from Brisbane. In one or more
American government vessels provided
with refrigerating apparatus. When the
Philippine war was over anil the Islands
settled down to reaoe the United Stales
gave up Its refrigerator ship service, hut
the people In the Philippines, especially
the Americans, military and civil, needed
fresh meat. This. It was practically Im
possible to obtain from any other source
than Australia, with the result that Aus
tralian butcher'ng and 'freezing firms con
tinued to supply Manila with their prod
ucts and a profitable business was estab
lished. This business still flourishes.
The Australian meat dealers have a big
business aside from their markets In the
Philippines and In Asiatic ports. Frozen
beef, mutton and rabbits are Tarried by
regular lines from Melbourne, Sydney and
Brisbane to England, via the Cape of
Good Hope, the Sues canal and even the
Strait of Magellan.
It Is thought that the approaching com
pletion of the Panama canal, which is ex
pected to almost revolutionize the refrig
erated meat traffic of Australia by short
ening the route to Great Britain. Its prin
cipal customer, has led the American pack
ers to seek a foothold In the common
wealth as they have in the Argentine re
public. But the present government in
Australia ia a labor party government, the
premier, Andrew Fisher, being a shrewd
leader, whose object la to build up Austral-
Ian trade and commerce from within.
Moreover, two amendments to the fed
eral constitution, one giving the common
wealth complete control of trade, oommorce
and industry, and the other enabling the
commonwealth to nationalize monopolies,
were passed by labor party votea In the
federal parliament last November, subject
to referendum, which will take place early
this year.
