What Hogs packers did buy wsre as much aa 110 is lower than the day before, while ae many as thlrty.flve loads, some of which had never had a bid., had to be earned over, A good many of the late sales landed as low as 111.00. and there was a sprinkling of underweights on down to 114.71, bulk of the day's business being dons at tli.00 ejll.ie. While the bulk of the boss showsd no very great change today the tono waa gen erally eaeler. The fact la that the mar kets the first half of the weak, and par ticularly yeetorday, wero ao uneven that they furnlahed a poor basis for making com parisons this morning. Quits a few hogs sold on shipping account today that for want of better deacrlptlon were called generally steady. They were hardly as high as yes terday's' earlier market, but wire In most cases AOBSIderably better than the low time on the dose. - ' The big carry aver added to fair freah supplies gavo packers a liberal showing from which to make their selections, and dhey offered lie lower prtoos sarly. Later they raised' their banda and when hoge atarted selling, the better kinds, particularly heavies, were steady, while mixed and light etuff looked weak to lower than yester day's general trade, or very similar to Wed nesday's later rounds. Vp to the extreme eloas prices held their own, and some of the later sales were .considered stronger . than early. The clearances wss the beat that has been made thla week, though up to Stldday a tew leada of extremely light . stuff were unsold. :. Representative aalea: No.' Av. . Sit.

So far this week supplies havs been 11,117 head, aa sgalnat 13. ml last week, 34.171 two weeks ago, and 31.011 a year ago. Owing principally to the fact that quite a few of the offerings wers late In arriving, not a great deal waa done until efter mid forenoon, but when everything was finally yarded the market became fairly active at prices that were aa a general thing fully eteady, and In the caae of a few of the beat Uexlrans looked. If anything, a little higher. The moat of the medium weight Mexicans sold around 111.00, with a few on up to 111.10, end a couple of cars of llshtrr ones reached 111.71. beating the for mer record for the market a nickel.

The top on westerns waa tli.lo. shorn lambs, not ths best by any means, sold at 113.11. For what old aheep were hers It waa about a steedy trade. Three care of Wyom ing ewes, males of those that brought tll.li yeatorday, made up ths bulk of the run, and they sold steady. A ahort deck of handy ted ewes sold up to 111.10.

Toncerted selling of special stocks, notably shippings, motors, tobaccos and soma ef the low grade rails, due to more or leas epeclfte cautiee, ar- countm in largo measure tnr tne conriifr Ing and erratic course of today's dull market. New Haven's extreme decline of 4 points to 39 waa associated with the company's plan to Issue a large block or prerern-a stork to meet current obligations. The break in automobile Issues, which extended to 4 points in Oeneral Motors, probably had Its baals In technical conditions and the further liquidation of shippings at ex treme recessions of to 4 points, was again attributed to a well defined belief that tho profits of thuse companies are to undergo severe shrinkage under government supervision or control. A gross decline of 37 poltita In Liggett tt Myers tobacco on a single sale at 226 and a 7-polnt loss in American Tobacco at 147 were cited as additional Instances of Investment liquidation at current mar ket values, Steel and Iron shares held their ground at gains of 1 to almost 3 points until the final hour, when tho entire list ebbed away, oils and metals alao forfeiting advances of 1 to 4 points. The setback alao Included Ohio Oas, which made an early rise of 3 points to the record price of 143. Union Pacific, Reading, minor coaler, and Pittsburgh and West Vlrglhla -mmon and preferred.

After a wild advance today of about 10 cents all around to new top record prlcea, the wheat market closed flurried, 7q0Sc net higher, with May at iiHiiiii.iiii.m.Hi.iim WANTED Fifty able-bodied men for motor men and conductors.

Urgent demand rom exporters and millers was largely responsible, together with the fact that scarcity of Immediate supplies had hoisted No. 2 red wheat at St. Louts to within 2c of $3 a bush!. Corn finished 294c up, oats e off to lc advance- and provision unchanged to 40c higher. To a great degree hope vanished that important quick relief was to be had through large shipments of what from CanaHa. One of the difficulties of getting supplies from Canada was said to be a rail way embargo agahitt loading for thr United States any cars except those owned on this side of the border. Bullish senti ment waa sharply stimulated a I no by a Washington report that the shortage tn the domestic winter crop was fully as exten sive aa preliminary estimates had Indicated. Entente government Interests were said to have been big buyers of the September delivery of wheat, while at the ssme time persistently selling July. Cash houses were the chief purchasers of May and there were signs that a majority of May longs would Innlst on deliveries of actual wheat. New high records were scored In cor chiefly aa a result of wheat strength. Gains In some esses exceeded 6 cents. Oats sympathised with the upturns In othr cereals, but holders seized tho en a nee to realise profits. Besides, crop reports were very favorable, and new acreage was said to be decidedly enlarged. Provision mounted with grain. Compara tive weakness in ths hog market was Ig nored. Cash Prices Wheat: No. 2 red, nominal; No. 3 red, $3.64; No. 2 hard, $2.56; No. S hard, nominal.

Briscoe With Fourteen European Engineers Turned Out the Half Million Dollar Motor. In designing Briscoe's "Half Million" Dollar motor, power and economy of fuel became ' features. This led to the long-stroke motor. This motor has a long stroke, 5 1-8 inches. It is capable of all the speed you will ever re quire. Its power is 40 per cent greater than it was last year, and, by actual test, it will make more miles on a gallon of gasoline than any machine offered the public today, re gardless of price. This motor develops in r , excess of 30 horsepower, and is one of the prettiest automobiles ever built. It picks up quickly, responds instantly to the slightest touch, and its simplicity in operation is mar velous. It is exceptionally easy for a lady to drive. ' We Have It Ready for Delivery.
