Cattle There was more life In the cattle
trade today than there has been for over
a week. Buyers were all out In the yards
early. Receipts were just fair. Advices
from other markets were encouraging and
the combination produced a good active and
strong to 1015c higher market on prac
tically all kinds. Native steers were verj
uneven, some of them showing even more
advance than that quoted. The best of
the early arrivals brought $12 00, and still
better ones are expected on the late trains.
No real good westerns Were Included In the
fresh supply, the best sale, $10.25. being
mauo on cattle hold rrom yesterday.
Butcher stock was more active and In many
cases regained all It lost yesterday, prices
ranging from fully steady to 1016o
higher. Anything of desirable quality In
the Btocker and feeder line was In good
request at prices that were easily 1016c
higher, and In many cases 25c higher.

Hogs There was a liberal run of hogs
hero today, but shippers were buying a
good portion of the offerings on the early
rounds at prices that were all the way
from 15c to 20e higher. They paid $16.30
for several loads of good hogs, while the
bulk of the purchases went from $16.15 to
$16.30. There was very little doing in the
packer division. They commenced bidding
10c higher than yesterday, but at a late
hour had not bought any hogs. Stock plgi
were going all the way from $14.00 to $16.50.

Sheep There was another liberal run of

generally was slow and lower than yester
day although a few loads of fat lambs
brought prices that looked about steady.
Killers between 80 to 86 pounds brought

sales, however, of tho off grades sold at a I

strength In oats. Later on business re-
sumed an active course on sales mado more

CHICAGO OKArx AND PROVISIONS.
Both Corn and Oats Smash AH High Price
Records This Season.
Chicago, Iec. 19. Both corn and oats sur
passed today all previous high price records
this season. Disappointing smallness of re
ceipts was largely responsible. Corn closed
firm, at Ijc to 114c net advance, with
January $1.21$, to $1.2114 and May $1.19v4.
Oats gained 41ic to tc and provisions
45c to $1.00.
Despite reports of some Increase In the
number of freight cars available and not
withstanding that weather conditions were
no longer any handicap to the operation
of the railroads, the stubborn fact could
not be evaded that arrivals of grain were
uncomfortably meager. One reason ascribed
was a dearth of sufficient motive power and
It was said that many train engines as well
as freight cars had been diverted elsewhere
from the corn belt. The resulting advances
In the price of corn wero vigorously upheld
owing more or less to prevailing warmth
and moisture that greatly hindered the safe
handling of poorer qualities of the cereal.
Strength in oats came In considerable
measure from reports that the government
had been a free buyer during the last few
days. Besides, gossip was current that for
the present corn would be given preference
over oats In regard to tho furnishing or
cars to rural shippers.
Curtailment of the hog supply here lifted
provisions.

Possibility Americans
Withdrawn in France
London, Dec. 1. (Special Cable
gram,) Of interest to Americans,
particularly, is the statement in the
Paris Communique that "artillery
fighting was carried on actively dur
ing the night in the region of the
Rhone-Rhine canal." This, is the
sector where General Pershing's
troops obtained their first tests of
actual warfare. Whether American
forces still hold this part of the line
is not known, but for several days
there have been indications that the
Americans had been withdrawn, one
German statement recording the cap
ture of French prisoners from that
sector.
The frequency of German raids on
this section of the front recently has
led to the belief that the enemy is
trying to ascertain the exact position
I of the American forces in the front
line, if they are still opposed to the
Germans there.

Take Step to Reduce High
Prices on Certain Drugs
Washington, Dec. 19. Limitation
of profits on drugs manufactured in
this country on licenses to use German-owned
palents, is being exercised
by the Federal Trade commission to
reduce the high prices which have
prevailed since the war began. In
announcing today that the Abbott
laboratories of Chicago had been
licensed to manufacture "venional,"
a hypnotic and nerve calmative, the
commission said that the drug would
be produced for $20 a pound and sold
"at a 15 per cent profit."1 The pres
ent price is ?40 a pound.
The Rector Chemical company and
the Farbwerke-Hocchst company,
both of New York, were licensed to
manufacture "novocain," n local
anaesthetic. Recent sales have been
made at a rate of $720 a pound, but
the Rector company believes the drug
can be made for $65 and agreed to sell
at about $95 a pound.. Right to fix
price was reserved by the commis
sion. Steamer City of Naples
