Hogs Five thousand hogs were In to day, making the run for the week 21,800 head. Shippers failed to get Into the mar ket today, as has been the case most of the week. In fact there was not enough trading to create a shipper market suffi cient to make comparisons. Packers were bearish again and although a few hogs were not over 5c lower, the bulk was fully 1015c lower than yesterday. Today's range was from 1 8 60 19.25, bulk of sales being $18.66 18.80. Sheep Today's receipts amounted to 27.000 bead, making the run for the week 168,200 head. Trade was very slow In getting under way, it being some time be fore the receipts were yarded in shape to make a deal. Yesterday's late market con tinued In the active channels in which it started early in the morning. Top for the day was $15.75 on feeder lambs and $16.75 for fat lambs. Today's market gave pros pects of at least being steady and possibly stronger.

HEW YORK STOCKS Market Featureless Except for Pool Activity in Spe cial Issues; General Upturn at Close. New York, Sept. 26. A stock market of comparative dullness today was virtually devoid of feature except for pool activity concentrated on a few special Issues. This buying, which became very mark ed In the afternoon session, was note worthy in American Steel Foundries, Baldwin Locomctlve, American Car, American Locomotive, Railway Steel Spring and American Ice. Early heavi ness, which had Its Inception In a sharp decline In the Morcantlle Marine issues, after their period of Initial strength, in fluenced profit-taking sales elsewhere, but the reaction met a speedy check when indications of support appeared for United States Steel. That stock, after relapsing almost a point to 109 , forged ahead steadily and ended at 111. The session closed with a general up turn In progress. The good war news accentuated the rally and the profes sional element who sold stock earlier were disposed to retire outstanding contracts when it became evident buying of a force ful character was going on In spots. A rapid upturn In the Liberty bonds, coupled with further advances In foreign issues, notably Paris 6s, which reached a high figure at 9714c also had a beneficial effect on general sentiment. The buying of the equipments was generally ascrib ed to prospects of lsrgely increased earn ings in connection with pending contracts. The general bond market moved nar rowly and uncertainly. Total sales, par value. $7,775,000. United States (old Issues) were un changed on call, but the registered 4s advanced of a point on sales.

Pressure to Restrict Dealers' Profits Weakens Corn Market; Oats Higher. Chicago, Sept 26. Decided weakness In the corn market today resulted chiefly from announcement of government mea sures to restrict grain dealers' profits and from likelihood of enlarged receipts. The close was heavy, lc to 2o net lower, with October. $1.47 to $1.47. and November, $1.44 to $1.44. Oats finished c off to c up, and provisions ranging from 10c decline to 2c advanced. Word that the food administration had adopted a definite schedule to which grain dealers' profits would be confined, put corn bulls at an evident disadvantage. Denials of any official statement having been made that the government program was likely to do away altogether with speculation failed to reassure buyers, es pecially as war advices were highly fav orable to the entente allies. Frost pre dictions for tonight brought about a tem porary upturn, but attention later focus sed on the increasing prospect of a re newed liberal crop movement owing to the fact that permits for shipments were again Issued, and that most of the per mits were for corn. Oats averaged higher as a result of heavy aales of late to the government and to exporters. Owing to the weak ness of corn, however, best prices were not maintained. Provisions were steadied by gossip that a minimum price on hogs would be es tablished. Chicago, Sept. 26. Butter Market firm; creamery, 6158c.

Thomas protested against proposed vacation of Capitol avenue at the Belt line. The city council committee recom mended passage of an ordinance which will be considered on next Tuesday mornig. "You can't get away with this, and if you try you will be enjoined and the supreme court will pass on the case," Mr. Thomas stated. "It is wrong in principle," he added, "for a reforfh council to give streets away. You are here to conserve the property of the people." The mayor replied: "This has been a street only on paper. It has never been used east of Forty-sixth street and never has been open for practical purposes. Closing will help industries to expand. The Belt line seems to be adequately adapted for expansion of industries." "The city should vacate streets wherever it will encourage indus tries, subject to reversion of prop erty to the city if improvements are not made or if they are abandoned," Commissioner Zimman stated.

The Spanisii "flu" has sent them all "flooey." The boys were to be brought home to march in the Ak-Sar-Ben parade. It had all been fixed up, signed, sealed and witnessed. Nothing short of the arrival of the kaiser's navy off the Atlantic coast could change the plans so it seemed. Omaha jackies had written heme all about it, to mother and and Harriett and it was all planned. And then along came that big black jinx, the Spanish "flu," and the dream flew. Word came Thursday via. the United States government telegraph company from the commanding of ficer at the big training station that the boys who sail the raging main can't be allowed to come home at tins time. The submarine shooters are in quarantine because the Span ish "flu" is sneaking around up there and it'll git you ef you don't watch out. "Can't get away to visit you today. Spanish "flu" won't let me," is the message the jackies are sending heme. And the Ak-Sar-Ben parade will be minus its detachment of jolly tars, doing the hornpipe along the streets. Ten blue Jackets on the commandant's chest, Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of mm. Flu and the commandant have done for the rest, Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum.

Assistant Chief of Police is New Title for Chief Dempsey City council confirmed recom mendation of Superintedent Ringer of the police department, by author-, izing the appointment of Chief of Police Dempsey as assistant chief, effective October 1, when Marshal Eberstein will begin his work as chief. This action disposes of the pen sion feature of Chief Dempsey's re tirement. His salary as assistant chief will be $200 per month and, after four months' service, he will be eligible for a pension of $100 per month. Mr. Ringer believed that Mr. Dempsey could legally be retired on October 1 on the basis of assistant chief's pension, but at the sugges tion of friends who intervened in behalf of the chief, it was deemed wise to bridge any possible legal technicality. As assistant chief Mr. Dempsey yill have charge of a school for po licemen and will use his general knowledge of identifying criminals of record. The arrangement is satisfactory to Chief Dempsey.
