Ideally packera made their early offer at flguree that were fully m dime lower than yeaterday'a average, but sellers rcfuaed to take leaa than aleady prlcea until they had a chance to try the market out. and aa only few ahlpplng ordara were filled on early rounds, not much waa dona until well along tn the forenoon. By 10 o'clock, however, aelllng Intereata had given up hopeo of getting ateaily prlcea ' and aa packera ahowed a disposition to bet ter their early offere, a little compromise waa effected, first drovea aelllng on a nickel lower baala. After the Ice had once been broken movement became fairly active and It did not take a great while to clean up the big end of tne otferlnga. At one time lowarda the cloae pankera went hack to early 10c lower blda and for s while It looked aa though traile might oloae eaaler, but late meaaagea from other polnta reported the early decline regained, and when packera finally did clean up the offerlnga they had to give the beat prlcea of the day, aoma of the late aalea being steady with yeaterday. On paper, at leaat, tha general market waa right cloae to a htrkel lower, but the Quality waa hardly aa good as yeeterday, and aoma of tha buyera claimed that, con sidering thla. their purchaaea were not more than a. ahade lower. Hulk of the offerings sold at 113.10912.11, with Quite a ahowlng of the heat heavloa up lo 111.10. The es treme top of I12.lt equaled the reoord made yeaterday. iteprraentetlv galea No. Av.

BUpplIra of forty nine loads, or about 11,000 head, showing Quito a. little Increase over yeaterday'a run. For the week ao far offerlnga total 41,004 head, aa compared with 62,111 laat week, 01,171 two Weeka ago, and 26,113 for the aame daya laet year. The laaab trade today waa a many-sided affair and aa a general thing none too aet lafactory. One of the packers filled sn' or der for some rholoa light lambs early at prices that were atrong to as much aa lOo higher than yesterday, but meet buy ers talked eaaler prlcea on the opening and In the- end were able to make their pur chaaea at not over steady prices. In fact, one packer who had talked llo decllnee on flrat rounds wss still trying to get lamba lower at a lata hour and had not up to that time bought more than a oouple or three loada, there being aoma ten or fif teen care left In first handa at the time of closing this report. Moot of the good westerns of moderate weights found an outlet at I14.3lf 14.1b. Some fairly strong weight stuff sold at 114.11 and real weighty kinds on down. A few gorel light westerns reached 114.10, equaling the beat price ever paid In their class, and four cars of cholcs Uaalcana brought a new high price of 114.71. Other Mealcena aold at 114.10014.16. ajwes were not In large enough supply to reslly make a, market. A couple of loada that have a reputation for their high drraatng ability aold at In. It, breaking the record, and falrloh atufr was bought 110.60. The Montana lambs reported aa unaold on yeaterday'a cloae went to a buyer of ahear- Ing lambs Iste In the day at 113.71, a price which waa duplicated by another cut of the name atuff today. As high aa 114.11 waa paid for good fleehy shearing lamba today. ' Quotetlona on elK'.p and lambs: liambe. light and band.

I in tun Prospect for Belling price lo go to gill Good Fifteen cent hogs? Quite likely, and very soon. Top rice in (Jmaha yesterday was nearer $15 per hundred for hogs than the top two months ago was to the present price. On December 15, 1916, the highest price paid for hogs in Omaha was $9.80; yesterday a load from lioone county went over the scales at $12.65, an advance of $2.83 in two months, while only $2.35 it needed to set the mark at $15. At Chicago yesterday the top was $12.95. Mystery in the Advpnce. What has started this climb in hogs, and what supports it, is mystifying the commission men. Everything that comes in shape of a hog firds ready sale., and the price is steadily going higher. The sellers are giving them selves no uneasiness, for they have all the better of the situation. Nor do the packers appear to be unduly exer cised over the situation, for they are taking everything that comes, and t.avins for it. Prices seem to depend on what the commission mai has the nerve to ask for his consignments. Shortage of Hoga Alleged. Over at Chicago some ot the com mission men allege a shortage of a million head of hogs at the eleven Dnncioat markets. This does not ap ply to Omaha, for the receipts here since the middle of December show an increase of 111,387 over the same .time a year previous. Figures issued bv the eovernmcnt. giving the num ber of swine on farms in the United States showed a decrease of 313,000 for the vear. Iowa. Illinois and Ne braska, the three great hog raising states of the union, each showed an increase, the total for Nebraska being 4,309,000, an increase of 1,700,000 in three years. Export of Pork Products, Exoorts of nork products, except bacon, do not show such increase as to account for the uplift in prices January figures are not yet at hand, but the December report from the De oartment of Commerce gives the ship ments abroad of pork products in pounds for the month as: 1114. 1111 flaron Hama and shoulders. 71.011,111 34.961.319 45.3tb.S70 1.711.113 7.921.711 1.030,131 lb, 00b. 166 31. 731.027 ,anl 46,134,309 4.341,130 13. 606,794 1,11b, 061 Neutral lard Pork.

Girl triples were born there Mon day afternoon and a'l three are lusty and active. The mother, Mrs. Rosa Scapell; to, is also doir.g fine. She has had four other girl babies, is 28 years of age and has been married less than seven years. Tony is 31 and works at the Burlington freight house, Birth control does not interest Mrs. Scapellato, whe is very proud of her black-eyed babies. Tony laid he was strong and had a job, when mention was made of the H. C. L. These sub jects of modern discussion evidently do not appeal to new Americans. Unable to talk much linglish, lony surrounded ihe triplet- with broad arms and m-rely chuckled his pride.
