A load of hogs sold that iay for an average of $2.65 a TltUftdred, which was 10 cents less than the average of the day. Twenty head of pigs weighing il)OUt 90 pounds ' sold for $2.00 a Hmdred and lard was quoted at '". $JJ5 and spare ribs at $3.10, while ; torn was selling for 21 cents a lushel. Contributing foctors ac " counting for the , low prices was aid to have been an ample sup it lly of hogs with lower markets in J the cast and a sharp decline by foreign demands. Thi receipts for ;J liat day of hogs, were 4,350 head. ; In marked contrast to this record . v.as that of the highest day in the ;;. history of the local market, when ; on July 23, 1919, a top price of $22.85 was made and bulk sales were J22 to $22.50. the average for the oay being $22.20;i. ;" Appeal Liquor Cases to ; Higher Court After Fine I!

Preparations are being made all over the state of Nebraska for the raising of sorghum caused by the fluctuating prices and scarcity of sugar, according to .a prominent farmer and stockman, who visited the Ideal yards. , He said that two years ago con siderable sorghum cane was grown in the state and this year. a number of old mills are to, be started again and several trfw ones will be erected. When the threatened sugar shortage came two years ago there were five sorghum mills operating in Seward county and in Douglas there were six. Sugar was selling 'then for only 11 cents a pound, while syrup was sold from $1.35 to $1.50 a gallon. According to an estimate, the average yield of syrup per acre of cane is about 155 gallons, and an acre or" less will produce enough syrup for the average family. Sor ghum syrup, it is pointed out, is an excellent substitute tor sugar in cooking. The farmers of the state can se cure seed raised at the Iowa experi ment station in small quantities, which produces a pure strain of a nev sorghum which has a' high sugar content. One pound of seed, enough for a half acre, is being distributed to the farmers at the price of 15 cents. o'clock luncheon.

New York, May 19. The liquidat ing movement in securities reached over from the Liberty bond market into stocks today, causing substan tial recessions in all classes of shares. While it hardly seemed probable that the same influence Lwhich has prevented sales ot gov eminent war paper, namely, the de sire of manufacturers and others to raise funds to replace bank loans bore down upon the stock market still dealings in stocks carried the impress of sentiment disturbed by events in the business and credi fields. Commission honses with telegrap' connections to interior centers were prominent in the day s activities The turnover was more than three times as great as on Tuesday, which in itself indicated participation ex tending beyond the limited protes sional trading of the last fortnight At the close of the session steel oil and miscellaneous industrial shares were generally 2 to 5 points below the preceding day s filial quo tations, a few issues according larger recessions. Railroad stocks, while weak, did not reflect such insistent liquidation as the others. Call money lent at 7 ard 6 per cent, the higher rate, pre vailing for renewals. Low Records la Bonds. fnotes was considerably less than the day before, although a total or dealings in ex cess of 321.000.000 was much above the rv cent dally average. Prices recorded new low records and while occasional rallies occurred the market closed off for the day. The quality ot dealings afforded no new material for comment, Deing a con tinuation of Tuesday's movement, which was bound un with broad processes of de flatlon of commodities and bank loans. It stands to reason that Individual Investors In the government Issues have been turbed bv falling quotations and a state ment has been made that onrrent events In this market "bear no relation whatever to Intrinsic values. That Is. the fact that many owners of the bonds have been forced to realize on them militates net m all against the tern and security which back the government's borrowing of the publio when the several Issues were put out. . , Undoubtedly many Investors are tak ing advantage or current aonormai con dli'nna to nut in their stronc. boxes ob ligations of a government whose credit stands nignesl touay ana on m m m handsome appreciation of price will be realized sooner or later. In case of stocks it is worth while bearing In mind that liquidation on account of Just such a credit situation at has risen began Sev ern 1 months ago, and It is conceivable that some important adverse factors have been discounted. At no time in tnaay s selling was there signs of a severe break; rather, offerings were orderly and the absence of a confident demand even at the lower prlcea waa not surprising In vtew of the many uncertainties of the day. The history or all liquidating move ments shows that buying grows more timid as declines gain Eround. bnt some where in the downward swing there are snrewa investors at work picking up stocks. Xeed Better Freight Service. The consensus of opinions surrounding Tuesday's meeting of the federal reserve Dank officials waa that deflation or credit will be pushed persistently, but with due regard to essential business demands. What Is now needed la an Improvement of railroad freight movement to assist strongly in credit easement. Events are apparently shaping toward that condition what with the constructive measures put roh by the Interstate Commerce commis slou to expedite car movements to cen ters where they are most needed and with the prospectt of an improved labor morale as a result wage equalizations. However, the ehancpfl of hrenklTier ftie freight tieun In a few days are remote and patience must be exercised.

Chicago TtUi one-Omaha Be Leased Wlr. By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. Chicago, 111., May 19. Liquidation in stocks, bonds and cotton spread the grains where it was regarded as somewhat overdue, and under an avalanche of selling - on stop-loss orders, corn broke 4)s10cp oats, W&ic, rye. 7y10c and barley, 3(7c from the previous day's close. Heavy covering by local and east ern shorts was the main influence in checking the break." A the low point, May corn was off Wlic, and July 13j4c from the high of the pre vious week. A sharp railly followed the early break, but the undertone i corn was not very strong and net losses Vcre 245j4c, while oats were liZ higher on May and AHc lower on the deferred deliveries. Rye closed 24 lower and bar ley, b'27c lower. Prospects of increased grain re ceipts and of general business cur tailment gave the bears control of the market throughout the session. Prices closed nervous, 2jic to S;4c net lower, with July $1.67;4 to $1.67$8 and September $1.57.i to 1.57ji. Market Almost Demoralized. At times the corn market was almost demoralized an4 1 per cent a bushel dif ference was noted In the July In various parts of the pit. Fluctuations of quarter of a cent between trade was the rule rather than the exception, and It was al most Impossible to fill market orders at blackboard quotation throughout the day. After the market quieted down there was persistent buying under $1.66 for July and selling orders above $1.67. Sentiment became radically bearish In many quarters, the general belief being that the Interstate Commerce commission would see to it that the west received plenty of cars to move grain. Houses with eastern connections and shippers and cash interests were heavy buyers of July and September oats to cover shorts. The market showed stubborn resistance to selling ..pressure from the start. May acted tight despite the sale of 100,000 bushels to go to store at $1.03 and 6,000 bushels at $1.04. Crop reports were ignored. Premiums Itr the sample market easier. . Induntries Heavy Buyer. Industries were the best buyers of cash corn With prices 6 07 cents lower. Re cepits 82 cars. The east canceled 35.000 bushels. Cash oats l2o lower with re ceipts 61 cars. Shipping sales 28,000 bushels. Cancellations 66,000 bushels. There was 6.000 bushels sold out of store at $1.06. Liquidation was on In rye. Lasn Bouses bought May and sold July at seven cents difference. Holland bought 260,000 bushels at the seaboard for shipment to Ger- j Kmany. No. 2 on track brought May price to over wnn sales at neceipis nine car's and the northwest 119 cars. Deliveries 6,000. Barley opened three cents lower and closed 10 cents lower. Spot sales were at $1.70(311.80, the Inside figure being the best obtainable at the last. Bids on cash wheat at the gulf were 8011c lower with No. 1 hard $3.20 at the last, while a small lot sold from here at $3.15. track New York. A cargo of 250.000 bushels sold at the seaboard to a Mediterranean port, presumably dnrum. The latter at Duluth advance eight cents to $2.98 on track, with some sold at $3.04 c. I. f. Georgia bay. Number 2 hard on track brought $3.07. ordinary No. 3 northers $3.03 and dark No. 3 northern $3.18. Receipts six cars. Mtnjieapiilis 601Oe lower. v Pit Notes. There has been a great deal of liquida tion In all grains the last few days and more is looked for. For the present the technical position of the market la re garded as weak. Heavy covering of corn for profits by a number of large local and eastern opera tors wtio have been short for a week, leaves the market in a position whero any increase In selling, without a decided betterment In the buying power. It waa said, would bring lower levels. A number of big eastern tradera have been on the bear side of stocks of late and lomieil large profits, and have taken the selling side of corn for a change. Limits on resting orders to buy were greatly re duced today as buyers appeared to have lost confidence. The car supply In Iowa and Illinois to day waa reported as slightly better. The demand was also good. Eastern roads are heading box and re frigerator cars westward, two ofthe big lines are moving 300 cars a day between them. Buffalo reported that the New York Central had started 150 cars west ward from there. Commission houses comment tonight waa mainly bearish. Ono house said It would not be surprising to see hedging sales in corn in the futures, as the strained credit situation Is coming to the surface. A number make the point that corn values are too far above the feeding level and must decline. It was declared that the rallying power will be limited to the buy ing in of short declines. Declines In corn, it was said,- should depress values. - "Some believe July corn should retire to $1.4001.50 and September will feel the pressure of record Argentine corn exports trfim July to December," says E. W. Wag ner. MajAeliveries today were 6,000 bushels rye, 20JI00 bushels barley, 750,000 pounds lard and 50,000 pounds short ribs. Argentina exportable surplus of wheat. as officially estimated May 1, was 72,364, 000 bushels, corn, old and new crop, 237, 149,000 bushels and oats 46.489,000 bushels, flax 15.849.000 bushels. On the above basis Broomhall figures that very little wheat will be left for export by the end of June should clearances continue at the recent rate. Corn surplus exceeds the re quirements of Europe. ., Sioux City Live .Stock. Slouz City, la.. May 19. Cattle Re ceipts, 2,200 head; market steady to weak: fed steers, choice fed.
