Cattle The late arrival of several trains
was all that kept the yards from being
pretty well cleaned of cattle on flint rounds,
Judging by- the way buyers went after the
stuff. Packers bought both beeves and
butcher stock about as fast as they came In
at good, steady to strong prices. Early ar
rivals included no real good steers. Beeves
are closing 2560c higher than a week ago,
with medium kinds moving around $10.00
11.60, and best shortfeds at $13.00 12.75,
Moat of the advance has been on the
medium and low priced grades. The sup
ply of stockers and feeders has been fight,
while the demand was fairly good and the
trade has been active and strong ewr?
day, closing as much at 25c hlghor than
a week ago. Western beeves have beelt too
scarce to really make a market.

Hogs Receipts of hogs were liberal for
a Friday and trade for the most part was
rather slow. Shippers were buying a limited
supply this morning at prices that looked
anyway 10015c lower, while packers were
buying on practically the same basis. The
best prices paid was $16.76, or lOo under
yesterday's top, while the bulk of th hogs
moved at $16.4516.60. On account of cold
weather there were aeveral trains late, with
a probability of late hogs coming In. Trade
on the whole was rather slow.

Fat lambs ruled stroni, fully recovering
yesterday's 1016o decline. Lambs around
81 pounds brought $16.26 16.85. The un
dertone was stronger, with higher prices in
view. There were only a few sheep on the
opening market, and what sold looked strong
at yesterday's average. A few head so'l
well up to the high time of the season. Fat
yearlings brought $13.10, steady with yes
terday. There were no feeders on the open

CHICAGO (RUN AND PROVISIONS.
Storms Threatening Traffic Improvements
Lead to I pturn in Corn Prices.
Chicago. Dec. 28. Storms and cold
which threatened to hinder serlouHly any
Improvement in t:affic conditions on the
railroads led today to an upturn In prices
of corn. The market closed firm, $
to net higher, with January $1.26
to $1.26 and May $1.25. Oats gained
to 1',. There were biases of 2Uc to 76c
In provisions.
It was nut until after midday that bul
lish sentiment. predominated regarding
corn. WenKness earlier tvas largely due to
notice that the director had prohibited
further tm-lInK In the December option,
and had fix"d a selling price. As action
removed pruning necessity for Immediate
supplies, the market wan cased to a no
table extent. Later, however, the atten
tion of denltrs f'leued on the outlook for
protracted unfavorable weather and the
hknlihood that the crop movement would
be kept down to small proportions.
Buying on the port of export houses
seemed to be chiefly reaonvlble for the
strength of ORts. Liquidation of Dcmb'-r
holding weakened the market at first,
but the effect failed to last.
. Sharp breaks In the vxluo of. hcjgs car
ried down provisions. The hog market
here was overburdened with arrivals and
there were predictions of heavy receipts
throuhout January.

Increasing Recognition of Ad
vantage to Rails From Gov
ernment Control Impels De
mand at Higher Levels,
Now Tork, Dee. 28. Increasing recogtit
tlun of the advantages accruing ta rails
from government control, especially low
priced and reorganlied roads, doubtless Im
pelled the sweeping demuntl tit materially
higher levels for that cists of stocks In
today's broad and active market.
This feeling was encouraged hy the
declaration of Initial dividends on new
7 and 6 per cent preferred chares of the
Rock Inland road. Those Issues made ex
treme gains of IS and It points;, respec
tively for the day and 21 to 23 points
over Wednesday's final quotations.
In keeping with the theory of govern
mental guarantees whs the 8 point rise In
New Haven. A $46,000,090 note obligation of
that company matures next May and it is
assumed that Washington will take on that
burden.
Evidently tho same line of reasoning ap
plied to various utilities, gains of 3 to
6 points In that group resulting frnm
buying based on the belief of a mainten
ance of dtvldends.
Investment rails retained piaotically alt
of yesterday's substantial gains. Where the
were not supplemented by further advanoes
of I to 6 points, notably In Pacifies, grang
ers and some of the coalers.
Seasoned industrials, equipments, cop
pers, motors and a scors of specialties
registered gross advices of 1 to 5 points,
these being partly surrendered in the rea
lizing of tho last hour. Sales amounted to
1,185,000 shares.
The general bond market, especially rails,
was strong; on more diversified demand,
Liberty 4s ruled at 97.02 to 96.60 and the
3 St 98.12 to 98.40. Total sales, par
value, aggregated $7,125,009. Old United

Townscnds, Nakens and M. E.
Smiths were winners in the Commer
cial league floor flag$ staged at die
Young' Men's Christian association
Inst night.
The Townsend-Commerce high
clash was the feature- event of the
evening's program. This battle was
desperately fought from start to fin
ish vith the m;irgin of difference
slight. The superior teamwork of
the Townsends, however, finally
broke down the bookkeepers' defense
and made the gunner victory possi
ble. Close guarding was manifest on
both teams 'and seldom it was that
a forward broke loose for an unre
stricted attempt to throw a basket.
Nakens Clean House.
The Nakens smothered the Y. M.
II. A. The Y. M. If. A. lads started
out well, but the pace soon grew
too fast and . they were hopelessly
trailing when the first half was over.
The Nakens had everything their own
way in the second period.
The Central Furnitures forfeited
to the M. E. Smiths because several
of their players went out of town
and they could not assemble a five
of eligible men.
,A couple of ineligible men, how
ever, played with the Furnitures in
an exhibition game against the job
bers to complete a program of three
games. The Smiths won easily.

Dun's Review of Trade.
New York, Dec. 28. Dun's tomorrow will
say:
What haa been in muny respects the
most eventful year of eoonomlo history,
neared its closing with the announcement
of governmental control of the country's
transportation systems, caui.ng a striking
recovery In prices of securities, but with
recognition that not all of the readjustment
arising from war conditions have yet been
witnesned. With the business outlook still
