Hogs There was a roniderabte falling off
in receipts of hogs today, but the trade was
active and any way lie higher than yes
terday's average. Both shippers and pack
ers were ready buyers on the ruiiy rounds
and offerings changed hands in good sea
son. The extreme cold weather, however,
was responsible for delayed trains, with
late hogs arriving at the yards right along.
A top of $16.70 ns paid this morning for
choice hogs, 15c higher than the best price
yesterday, while the bujk moved at $16.45
&16.85.

at the opening, although the undertone was
fairly good and prices about steady to a

lambs brought around $15.76, with the
stronger weights going down to $15.00,

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Falling Off In Receipts Puts Strength Into
Corn.
Chicago, Feb. 20-Falllng off In receipts
tended to put strength today In the corn
market. February delivery closed firm at
the maximum limit allowed, $1.28; but other
options eased back a little after midday
alid finished steady. $1.27 for March,
$I.3(i,4 for May, unchanged to i9c to
lVic net and provisions to 2Hc to $1.00.
Comparative scantiness of arrivals of corn
appeared to be due to the fact that rail
roads have cleared up a good part of the
accumulations on side tracks and that pre
vailing cold weather Interfered more or
less with the movement of new supplies.
Trading In futures lacked, volume, however,
to the restrictions associated with the max
imum price limit.
Oats, which have as yet been subjected
to no formal curb, Jumped to the highest
known level. Tranactlons reached a big to
tal. Likelihood that the government guar
anteed price on the 1918 wheat crop would
be raised 60 cents a bushel, furnished the
chief Impetus. Profit taking though was
heavy on the bulge, especially sfter gos
sip spread that s movement was on foot to
confine 'fluctuations within set bounds for
any single day.
Provisions rose with hogs and grain. Ar
rivals of hogs were much short of the es
timate. Ih subsequent transactions, February de
livery touched the maximum, $1,28. March
and May, eased off a trifle, snd closed
steady at respectively $1. 27 1.28 with
the finish as a whole unchanged lo Ho
off, compared with 24 hours before.
On the upturn, realizing sales Increased
but the consequent sags in quotations failed
to last.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Investment Stocks Under Per
sistent Pressure; Foreign
Conditions Chiefly Ac
countable. New Tork. Feb. 30. investment slocks
were under persistent preaaure during to
day's more restricted trading for which for
eign conditions, especially the Russian sit
uation, were chiefly accountable.
Pools were less conspicuous, probably be
cause of the general profit taking that ac
companied the recent advance, and public
Interest, as denoted by commission houses,
.shoved a perceptible denomination.
lutercet once more centered In Industrials,
notable shippings and specialties, compris
ing the automobile and oil groups, but the
trend In these Issues was often so conflict
ing an to defy anatygls.
Halls reflected the irregular recent lassi
tude moving within fractional limits for
the most part. United States Steel's course
waa typical of that pursued by affiliated
equipments, holding slightly above or under
final quotations of the previous day until
shortly before the close, when prices rased
1 to 3 points all around. Sales amounted to
760,000 shares.
The late reaction In Industrials was the
mure Inexplicable from the fact thnt trade
advices were unusually encouraging. The
capacity of the leading Iron and uteel mills
show a large expansion during the current
week with other Hues of manufacture.
Time funds were again quoted at 6 per
cent, with practically no supply and most
call loans were made al the 6 per cent bssis.

Women in Men's Places.
Not many women are yet replacing
men called to war service in Amer
ica. The banks have added a few
women clerks, but that is no novelty.
The railroads, except in rare in
stances, are using women only for
office work. When great American
armies actually begin fighting, how
ever, a different story may be expect
ed. .Heads of corporations with large
numbers of employes forecast whole
sale substitutions. Not until now has
public opinion favored women's en
gaging in certain work involving great
manual labor, but. if the forecasts
are correct, such labor must fall to
their lot here soon, though n6t to the
same extent as in England and Prance
The munition makers say they can
operate successfully with 70 per cent
of women. The garment industries
have always used women, but in
creased business in uniform manu
facturing will call for more. Similar
prepdictions are made in regard to
practically all the other industries.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Natural Indigo In Michigan.
Advices from Midland, Mich., tell us of
the first production of indigo from coal tar
In the United States, saya Ellwood Hen
drlck in the Popular Science Monthly for
November. One thousand pounds of 20 per
cent paste are produced dally despite the
fact that In the laat tariff bill the duty on
dyestuffs was removed from Indigo. The
annual consumption of indigo In normal
times Is In the neighborhood of 10,040.000
pounds. By 1912 the German makers of
the coal tar Indigo, which Is chemically the
aame as the product of the tropical Indigo
plants, had' driven the natural product from
the world's markets. The artificial Is con
sidered better and more reliable than the
natural dye.
Why Salmon fJo to Sea.
The rocks of the earth are having their
sodium contents washed out continually,
therefore the rivers of today have less salt
than tho streams of former years. This Is
the reason advanced tor tne regular trips
whlrh schools of salmon make every year to
the deep ca. Thi; river having become too
frsh for It. the salmon must needs go out to
tliHI ocean for the snltness necessary for Its
best development and comfort.
Salmon are content in the rivers all th'e
summer and fall, during which time they
spawn. The young make their first trip to
sen when tliey ure about one year old.
