Cattle The supply of cattle was not quite
as large as on the opening day of the week,
and as demand was fairly good for all
kinds of killing ttook the cencra! trend of
the market was higher. In no ease were
beef steers any less than steady with Mon
day, and a good many sales were 10(rl5c
higher. Natives made up the big end of the
beef offerings. Best heavy short feds
brought $12.60. Butcher stock also sold
anywhere from steady to IOfl lie higher
than the general market Monday, offerings
including quite a sprinkling of westerns.
Veal calves were fully Heady at the recent
advance, and bulls, and stag", showed
further gains. Stockor and feeder supply
was light, but demand was quiet and the
tone of the market was not any more
than steady.

Hogs There was rather a light after
holiday run of hogs here this morning, and
trad" was fairly active right from the slart.
Shippers were taking a few of the offer
ings today at prices that were all the way
from 10c to 15c hither. Packers bought
their hogs from ISr to 20c. highT. Arrivals
were for the most part in on time and a
good clearance was made before 10 o'clock.
The btst price 11a id was $16.85, 15c better
than was paid on Monday's market, while

Sheep The usual light run of sheep and
lambs following a holiday was largely re
sponsible for a fairly active trade, and for
the most part prices were fully stteady with
Monday's advance. Demand for fat stock,
both lainl and aged stork, was fairly active
and the limited offerings were all cleaned
up In good season. Cornfed Iambs brought
$16.20 16.25. and fair to good wheat fields
$15.5016.00. Very little feeder stock was
offered, and for the most part were about In

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Corn Prices Harden With Prospects of Con
tinued Cold Weather.
Chicago, Dec. 26. Corn prices hardened
today, owing more or less lo the fact that
cold weather throughout the west was ex
pected to continue for seversl days and that
railroad operations would be Interfered with.
Tha market closed firm. 1i to r. net higher
with January $1.26H to II .26' and May
tl.24! to tl-26.
Oats gained 1 V to Hc. In provisions
the outcome ranged from 30c decline to a
rise of 6c.
Although trade In corn was entirely of a
holiday character, buyers had a little ad
vantage from the outuet. Offcrlnga were
scarce, and rural notices of consignments
lacked bulk. Prevalent low temperature,
seemed to be largely responsible, as the
car supply showed but little improvement.
Any decided upward swing in values, how
ever, was checked by knowledge that the
general eoid and absence of moisture could
not escape having a favorable effect toward
curing the new crop.
Oats touched the highest prices yet this
seaaon. Impetus for the upturn came chief
ly from signs of a revival of seaboard ship
ping demand.
Free aelling by western holders more than
offset In the provision market a show of
strength due to falling off In arrivals of
hogs. Sales were ascribed In the main to
a desire to realise profits.

w-lth Indications that the administration is
soon to announce tta policy of railroad con
trol, congress 10 share In the responsibility.
An Illustration of the caution with which
transportation companies are proceeding
was furnished by (he Delaware Hudson
directors. A regular dividend was declared
for the first quarter of 1918 Instead of or
dering payments for the full year, as wa
long the custom.
Industrials suffered almost as much aa
rails, deriving their Impulse from sporadic
liquidation of equipments. For this no ex
planation wa vouchsafed other than a pos
sible further revision of prices by the war
board.
Trading lapsed after the first hour, the
market coming to a standtlll In the Inter
mediate and later periods, except for a
weakening of utilities Leaders made nom
inal rallies .lust before the close, chiefly

shares
Foreign bonds forfeited much of their
recent recovery on the less favorable war
views presented by representative banking

STATE MAXES RULES
FOR FREIGHT GARS
To Be Apportioned to Shippers
According to Shipments
Made by Them Lest
Year.
The Nebraska State Railway com
mission has promulgated and sent to
the railroad freight otVici.ils rules that
are to covern the apportionment and
distribution of freight cars to ship
pers of grain and milt products in
this stale next year. The rules bucome
elii'ctivc January 1.
v niler the provisions of the new
rules of the state railway commission
cars shall be apportioned among; reg
ular shippers according: to the respec
tive number of carload shipments of
grain and mill products originated by
such shippers from their respective
stations during the preceding year. As
an example:
If a shipper handled 200 cars last
year, his apportionment of cars, to
start with would be 40 per cent ot
that number; 150 cars, 30 per cent;
1U1 ears, 20 per cent.
It is proposed that cars shall be
apportioned to shippers in the order
in which applications ate made and
whenever a shipper (ail, or declines
to accept a car apportioned to him,
or fails to begin loading within the
free period, he forfeits all rights to
such car and it shall be apportioned
to the next shipper entitled thereto.
A car so transferred shall be counted
against the shipper refusing and
against the shipper so accepting and
loading it, in the monthly apportion
ment. Station agents are going to be re
quired fx keep books that will show
every transaction with reference to
the ordering and shipment of cars and
these books will be open to the in
spection of shippers.
Shippers shall apply for cars in
their names only ami each and every
shipper is prohibited for applying in
any one day for more cars than he can
load out on that particular day.
Expect Rush of Navy
Recruits Here Soon
Yeomen and clerks in the navy re
cruiting station anticipate a big rush
of recruits after the holidays and all
are busy making preparation to take
care of the rush. Everything is being
put in order that applicants may be
promptly taken care of when they
apply.
Although recruits have the privil
ege of enlisting, they cannot expect
to be shipped to the Great Lakes
naval training station for some time.
All kinds of mechanics are wanted
for the service and any registrant
who desires to pick his own branch
of the service rather than waiting for
the next draft call can enlist if there
is no possibility of him being pretty
well up toward the top of the list on
the next call.
