Hog -There waa quite a drop In hog
receipts 1oday, the run of 136 loads or
about 9,000 bead being the smallest of the
week since Monday. Five days' supplies
are of very respectable else, the total of
Kti.sii neaa Being lfl.ooo larger than
week ago, and 4,000 heavier than two
weeks' ago, but. nearly 1.000 abort of last
year.
The lark of anr new develootnenta In
the threatened strike of railroad men put
in mantel in a pretty a risk r condition
again this morning. Shipper filled a few
- orders, but after buying tun or a doxen
rare at prlcea that were strong (o lOo
ntgner, iney aeciaea to await toe opening
or tne pacKer trade.
Packers played a waiting gam again to
day, and It waa pretty well along la the
morning before they even got as far aa
making bids. Their early talk was lower,
but when hogs finally started selling It
'waa at prices that showed little or no
change, though aome sales might have
boon a little stronger. Before all the of
fe rings had been cleaned up packer buyers
all got shut-oil orders, and left the yards
with on thirty loads ait 111 In the penn,
' At noon there had been no developments.
Bulk of the hogs had changed hands at
prices that were generally steady to In the
case ot a few shippers a little higher, but
trader counted, up thirty cars aiill In first
hand. Most of the hogs that had sold
went at a spread of 814.00914.30,, and
fop reached 114.40. These flgurea are a big
Ifio lower than a week ago, lights having

Sheep Receipts of sheen and lambs were
If anything a little heavier than on either
of the two previous days, the run which
counted out tweniy-eiRht cars or about
7,000 head, being' rather liberal for a Fri
day. For tbe five day aupplles foot up
47,M head, being about tha earn alse
as a week ago, t.Boo larger than two
weeka ago, and 16.000 heavier than last
year.
Today's market waa a fitting eloit for a
week of dreggy, ragged markets. There
waa a good run here, more In fact than
seller expected, but demand was good for
desirabl light and handy lambs, and by
mldforenoon several car of this sort of
atuff had changed hands. On paper value
did not look much different, but last night'
drlnle had made th bulk of the offering
wet, and conaiderlng this, called these early
sale anyway Iftdflto higher. Aoveral cart
of good Mexlrnr were bought around 114.60,
which, waa ui,u dered equal to at leaat
114.09 r 114.83 had the lambs been dry.
Other lamb, however, were slower, and
when they did finally sell, the early ad
vane waa' loat, bulk of th western lambs
being no mora than steady with yesterday.
and tone Mng, If anything, weaker. Horn
or in neavier lamb were especially draggy,
and at noon a cteHranco had not been made.

trlk situation, and while wheat opened a
trifle lower, a rumor to the effect that the

rally by long and profit taking; by the

It was also rumored that President Wtt
nn had ordered th railroad head and
th atrlk leaders to mak some conces
sions, but no definite move wa made by
th chief executive to prevent the strike.
The local trad In futures was very quiet
during th early trading hours, but when
the abov report were received the trade
became vry cltv and all cereals cloned

Dont Experiment With Clothing
That Hasn't an Established Name
What is the sense of buying Clothing without an established
reputation, when you-can buy
Hart-Schaffner & Marx
Clothing With a World-Wide
Reputation
Some men think economy in clothes-buying is to find a cheap
sounding price. Foolish; they know better if they stop to think
about it a minute. .
Your price for a suit is low or high, according to what it gets,
not according to what it sounds.
Hart Shaffner & Marx
Clothes for Men and Young Men
are made to sell for $20.00 and upward; as much upward as
you choose.
We argue that QUALITY is the test of price, that's the reason
we offer you the best Clothing at any price.
