LATEST FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL REPORTS
DECLINE IN MEAT
ATTRACTS MARKET
Fall in Prices of Butchers' Pro
ducts Reaches 3.8 Per Cent.
Not Ended
BANK PRESSURE INCREASES
Attempt to Inaugurate New Stock
Concentrations Has
Been Abandoned
(Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—The most ef
fective interest today in the movement
of stock prices was the early absence
of the aggressive operations for the ad
vance by a few brokers which were
the features of yesterday's market. The
leaders were watched for the appear
ance of these orders In United States
Steel, Union Pacific and Heading.
These stocks were sold because the or
ders failed to appear. This was taken
to Indicate the abandonment of the
attempt to inaugurate a new market
movement by concentrating dealings' in
those stocks. The reappearance of tho
same kind of buying in United States
Steel and Union Pacific in the final
hour pulled prices up again and left
them higher than last night. The gen
eral decline in prices of meat all over
the country came In for a great deal of
attention. The latest rapid decline has
come as a subsequent to the November
condition shown by Bradstreet's Index
• number of commodity prices. The fall
from the record level of January 1 of
this year amounts to 3.8 per cent, with
the decline evidently in progress In in
creased degree since November 1. *
Great satisfaction is felt with this
tendency. One immediate effect is tho i
'increased pressure on banks In some
sections of the west. The explanation
is that the fall In grain prices has
prompted farmers to withhold their of- 1
ferings and to buy livestock to feed ]
corn to. With the end of the feeding"
period there' is foreseen a large influx
of offerings in the cattle markets, a
further decline in meat prices and a
heavy liquidation of bank loans.
Bonds were easy. Total , sales, par
value, 590,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on cull. ! ' : ;• '

NEW YORK COTTON
Special service to The Herald by J. C. Wil
son, 212 West Fifth street, Los Angeles.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—The Galveston cotton
exchange Is the last one to make estimates on
the crop. The consensus of opinion there points
to a crop of 11,860,000 bales. These exchange
estimates are about all made now and average
11,300,000 bales all the way to 12,300,000 bales.
They are the result of averaging guesses of
Individual members. The private crop experts'
guesses run from 11,886,000 bales by F. C.
Olds to 13,000,000 bales by Habersham King.
Many speculative accounts were evened up to
day and many traders probably will keep out
of the market until after the publication of
the census figures next Monday. The National
(Sinners' association report is also holding
many of the local trading element from ex
tensive operations until published. Today* ■

LOS ANGELES STOCK EXCHANGE
The market on the stock exchange yesterday
was characterized by the remarkable gain In
Mexican common. This stork closed Tuesday
at 37%, and the first sale Wednesday was at
40, with fluctuations between 39 and 40, finally
closing at 39. It la given out, more or less
officially, that the company has declared a
dividend payable on the Ist of January of 4
per cent, 1 per cent quarterly on the common
stock, and It Is also reported that there will
ba an extra dividend of 1 per cent, payable at
the same time as the quarterly dividend.
There have been several very strong; rumors
that the company could easily afford to pay
6 per cent on par. The 4 per cent on par Is
the equal of nearly 11 per cent on the stock
at' the present price, thus making an excellent
investment. California Midway was somewhat
weaker, and Consolidated Midway was also
weak. Union showed no particular strength,
but was fairly active. The bond* and bank
stocks were quiet and In the Industrial there
was Inquiry for Home preferred. There seems
to have been considerable Inquiry for this
stock of late.

CHICAGO GRAIN
Special service to The Herald by T. C, Wil
son, member of the Chicago board of trade,
New York stock exchange and San Francisco
bond and stock exchange, 212 West Fifth
street, Los Angelea.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—Quite a setback fol
lowing a strong and higher opening market
has been seen in wheat today. Shorts covered
rather freely and longs took profits on the
swell, a/tor which there was further Belling
pressure, both lons and short, and prices re
acted materially. Argentine news proved the
influential factor today. Early cables told of
dry and hot weather; later cables brought news
of refreshing rains where, needed; but there
was a wide variation in the estimates of ex
portable surplus. These ranged at 93,000,000
bushels to 102,000,000 bushels as minimum to
120,000,000 bushels maximum. Outside markets
were strong early, but have lost ground later.
No export business was transacted either yes
terday or today in Manitoba or other wheat.
Some offers, however, to resell at a loss.
No demand for cash wheat here. Further call
for cash wheat at Winnipeg today by shippers
who were getting it east of the lakes by last
boats clearing before November 30, when lake
navigation closes. Official exports of wheat
and flour as wheat from United States alone
In October were 7,392,000, as against 13,874,000
a year ago.
Corn has been dull most of the flay. The
early market was higher on an advance in
Liverpool and on strength in wheat, but the
maket eased off after shorts had largely cov
ered Rains as forecasted failed to materialize,
except south of the corn belt. Further rain*
forecasted for soutcrn corn area, but not the
birr states, tomorrow.
Oats were firmer early with other grains,
but ajso followed wheat and corn on the later
slumps. Trade was of small volume and large
ly running in local channels. Cash oats in
the sample market was steady.
The lower priced hogs and liquidation of
November lard were both factors in making
the whole provision list lower. Tho trad" in
January pork was quiet, and while there was
only a little more action in ribs, the lard was
very active and weak and carried the balance
of the mark' I with It. Hogs closed a shado
firmer than they opened.

tempt of about fourteen railroad*
operating between the Mississippi and

rates already condemned from Wash
ington was thwarted by a suspension
order announced by the interstate com
merro commission today in what 1s
known as the Buinham-Hanna Hun
ger rase of Kansas City.
Tho suspension involves a long
struggle of jobbing Interests In Mls
gouri river cities and affects an im
mense traffic from tho east.
The ultimate decision will be of
vital importance not only to the im
;.■ business, hut as a precedent
to ran.' making. The commission had
ordered lower class rates from th«>
Mississippi to the Missouri applicable
on shipment* moving from points iti
i-.1. Th«'so lower rates aro to
11 effective for two years. Tho
railroads appealed to the courts and
1 tho supreme court of the United
states sustained the commission the
1 illroads put into effect the decreased
rates, The litigation extended ov<r
almost two years and then with the
near expiration of the period iixed by
the commission the roads crave notice
of the contemplated restoration of tho
rates which had boon cond. m:.
