Hags From the sellers' standpoint yes
terday's close was very unsatisfactory.
Packers' blda got ateadlly worse as the day
advanced and a Rood many of the later
sales were lower than Monday. In fact the
t-los was so mean that sellers carried over
flity loads for today.
This carry-over, added to the heavy fresh
supply, made today's offerings even larger
than yesterday's. Other markets were also
overloaded and a general reaction aet In.
The local market waa another very uneven
affair, movement being draxry and prices
very Irregular. Shippers bought some hogs
early that were mainly 10916c lower,
though some scratch sales were made that
were nesrly ateatly and packers took sonic
early that ware not much more than 10c
down. A" & Reneral thing, though, their
bids showed declines of 16e or more.
Buyer tried hard all morning to gat hogs
at weaker price than they ga on early
rounds, but up to noon they had not had
much success, nearly all the sales made
up to that time being; somewhere around 10
916c lower. Movement waa more active
In the session, than it was early, hut to
wards the close slowed down again. At
noon practically all the good weighty hogs
that were In had sold, and bulk of the
butcher weights yarded up to that time
had changed hands. Wherever tt was pos
sible, though, buyers followed yesterday's
plan of leaving out lights and midday found
quite an accumulation of lights still In
the pens, as well as a sprinkling of mixed
and butcher stuff. Bayers were not even
trying to buy a Rood many of the under
went ta and wanted butchers at easier
prices than they brouRht early. There ware
veral trains aUU oat at the time of
vl'-eing this report.
Bulk of the hogs sold during the fore
noon landed at $10.109 19.60. Thla spread
does not take Into account the lights, for
not enough had sold to show what they
were worth. Beat beavlea rnached $10.60. 80
far as quality was concerned the run was
almost as good aa ye terday, but buyers
atl complained of lack of weight.

Sheep ror the third time la three days
sheep and lamb supplies were real liberal.
- lateness of neatly all trains mad It hard
io estimate the run. but at mid forenoon
aeventy-aour loads, or about 18,000 head.
were In eight The supply for the first half
of the wee foots up 61,143 head, aa com
pared with 36,039 last week. 23,111 two
weeks aao and ii.it last year.
The fact that only a very small share of
the estimated offering had been yarded up
to a late hoar tn the forenoon was mainly
responsible lor another araggy market
With so Ronaroas a run In sight packers
were not In a harry to ail their orders and
refused to Ret Interested early. All the
bids mads as to mid forenoon showed
low tendency, and a load or two that had
sold looked. If anything, weak to a Utile
lower, but sellers all predicted that wh-n
the lambs Rot In Rood kinds at least would
show m tie or no change.

lower and heavy selling brought about a
rather decline In the May and July options,
the May closing at a 3tto decline and the
July at lo decline.
There was no news of partlonlar Interest
concerning wheat ami today's decline was
the result of heavy selling by the bears and
long covering by the bulls, who think the
market has had a sufficient upturn.
Corn and oats were rather quiet and
while corn followed the break In wheat
oats were steady, the May option closing
unchanged, while May corn waa lo lower

Until the flurry took plac. In rerard to
nithttng that was supposed to have oc
curred somewhere on the route of merchant
ships bound from the United States, to Eu
rope, the wheat market had displayed a
tendency to higher values except just at the
outset, initial declines appeared to be due
largely to lnferrnres that the German chan
cellor soon would make a new move to
bring about peace. Selling pressure, how
ever, was not heavy, and It took but Itule
buying to bring about a moderate upturn,
especially as demand came from the most
part from leading houses, whereas pit spec
ulators were the chief bears.
l.ack of any evidence of new export busi

Cora fell with wheat. Previous to the last

to chanee of a crop failure In Argentina
and to a scarcity of domestic rural offers.

Liberal recelpta of hogs were primarily

Raymond's January Sale
Progresse at the same lively clip that marked its
beginning a week ago. The reason is CLEAR.
THE VALUES are plain to be seen. In every piece
of Furniture on our floors a REAL Sale Price is
MARKED. Many pieces are given especial empha
sis by the white tag marked "As Advertised."
If PRICES only were the criterion in this
SALE, then the values to be had here would be
merely a string of FIGURES.
Therefore, consider well the high quality
offered you in this Sale.
A number of mixed cars of Furniture have
reached us this week and are being sampled and
placed on the floor as fast as possible, and marked
at 0NE,THIRD LESS than we could possibly do if
we were buying it on the wholesale market right
now.
Mr. Edward Thomas. ,
Mr. Edward Thomas of St.
Joseph, Mo., has accepted the man
agement of Raymond's Carpet and
Drapery Department, which occu
pies the entire 2nd floor of their
commodious quarters at 1513-15
Howard street. Mr. Thomas, recent
ly severed his connection with
Sturges, Ellingwood & Roerman,
St. Joseph's largest department
store, where he has bad charge of
the carpets and draperies for a
number of years. 'In coming to
Raymond's Mr. Thomas brings his
past successful experience to couple
with the up-to-the-minute equipment
he will soon hare at his command
in taking care of Raymond's Cus
tomers in his department. The rug
and drapery floor is now undergo
ing a complete change in its ar
rangement. Every modern device
and equipment is being added to en
hance the comfort and convenience
of the floor for Raymond visitors
and customers
In addition to the rug and floor
covering section, where the dis
play is much improved, a complete
drapery section will occupy one
side of the room ; fixtures, counters,
cabinets, etc., are now being built
from blue print and cut to specifica
tions by a local mill, and will soon
be instilled. The drapery section
will be fully stocked as soon as
shipments arrive, which were con
tracted for in November at a very
considerable saving as compared to
the present fabric markets.
