Receipts of 12,000 hogs for the open
ing day this week were smaller than
the trade expected and 'with similar re
?iorts from other markets sellers had at
east an equal footing with buyers in
fixing prices. Asa result the general
sales were fully steady and in extreme
cases there was an advance of 10c. The
tip top price was $15.33 against sls 25
at the close of last "week anil the lowest
price for the good hogs was sls, against
$14.85 last Saturday. The bulk of sales
of good hogs were sls to $15.25. Pigs
were somewhat lower at $14.75 down
and sow s. were as much higher with the
best sort up to sl4, and others largely
from $13.50 down. Local packers took
about 8,000 bogs and protyably 6,000
went to outside interests.
CATTLE.
The concensus of opinion indicated
prices of cattle, if any different, were a
little lower, but final estimates were that
there was no serious loss in any de
partment and that, at least, a part of the
decline was offset by the Monday fill,
which is usually in favor of the owner.
The general views of traders Indicated
it was easier to sell the cows anil bulls
at prevailing prices than the steers or
heifers', hut thA demand from various
sources finally absorbed the receipts of
1,500 cattle. There was a higher market
for the run of 500 calves so far as the
general sales frprn sl9 to S2O wer con
cerned and there were also more of
the best veals sold up to s2l. Common
light calves sold from sl2 down. There
was only a fair Monday demand for
feeding cattle and there was no quotable
change observed in prices.
SHEEP.
There were sales of lambs as high
as the recent record, S2O. but fewer sold’
up to $19.50. and more than a third of
the supply sold at $18.75. Sb*>ep were
about steady at $lO down, and there was
an early clearance of the supply of 500. t

Today’s Market Gossip
International bankers expect sterling
exchange to drop to $3 or lower. This
will Increase an already delicate export
situation.
R. G. Dunn & Cos. report 150 commer
cial failures in the United Stages this
week, against 125 last week and seventy
seven a year ago.
Kansas City wire®; The best people
in cash business here are pretty bearish
on all grains. They say demand poor
and receipts are not large. Morn than
is wanted every day. *
Attention is called to the fact that
May rye has declined from the recent
high of $187% to $1.76% and rye was
strongly instrumental in making the,re
cent com advance.
Some believ^ - that oats, rye -and lard
are considerably overbought, on the the
ory of a broad foreign demand. So far
the actual shipments abroad do not
support the theory, but they believe fu
ture developments will.
Minneapolis—Shipping wheat dull, 5c
lower; winter wheat weak and almost
Impossible to eell any. Corn easy, lc or
more lower. Oats firm. Barley was 304 c
lower today, closed 2@3c lower, few ex
port bids framed up. Rye slow and
slightly easier. -
Chicago wire calls attention to loose
lard selling at $125 under January, prob
ably a record discount/ The reason for
this Is, a very disappointing demand from
abroad. If the foreign demand can not
absorb our surplus of hog products, it
is quite possible that the demand for
grains will be less than expected. There
may be reactions from a downward
trend, but Inadequate foreign outlet for
our known surpluses will create a load
upon the market.
Stock letter by wire from New York
says: "Liquidation is still on. There
has been a steady volume of stocks com
ing on the market and at the* expense
of values and when we attempt to an
alyze the situation . and ascertain what,
if” any, new incentive has developed to
justify liquidation, we find that it is an
old story. It is a more general recogni
tion of the troubles that existed last
fall, and that have existed every min
ute of the time since, but because of the
natural American optimism there was
an inclination for a short while to min
imize the real influence. The trouble
basically is Inflation—inflation without
limit in Europe and /inflation reaching
the danger point here. A change has
got to take place. The huge burden of
credit must bg reduced, but as is cus
tomary the stock exchange is the first to
feel its effect—not because It Is less fa
vored—but because' it is quicker to sense
the coming change and anticipate and
discount the future. Commercial lines
will feel the effect later." <

Farmer Must Hustle
t° Meet High Prices
With high prices creeping in on every
hand and farm workers scarce and very
particular about the hours they put In
even in the busiest season, a farmer has
to step livelier than ever if he is farming
a big acreage.
H. W. Klein of .Blackwell county.
lowa, farms 350 acres and says that he
is in 'a position to know. He saj r s that he
sees very busy times during the growing
season In order to keep ahead of his
work. Last yeag he raised 210 acres of
corn and 140 acres of oats. He was for
tunate in finding farm bands to assist
him.
Considering the high prices of grain
and feed, the biggest profit, that Klein
sees in the stock raising industry at
present is the Increased fertility to the
land. In fact, stock raising is the only
method of keeping the firm up. All the
manure is saved during the feeding
period on the Klein farm and before the
time arrives for starting spring work two
manure spreaders are put to work and
♦he winter's accumulation of manure is
speedily put on the fleldi
“A farmer has to keep on the move
nowadays.” declared Klein,” and with
land as high as it is be has to sase every
particle of manure from his feed lots and
place it on his fields.”

Now’s Tinje to Go After Ex
port Trade, Says Schultz.
n *1
If American manufacturers want ex
port business with South' America aiow
is the time to get busy, declared Walter
W.- Schultz, commissioner of the Ameri
can National Expositions, Inc., today.
Mr. Schultz is in Indianapolis seeking
to interest local firms in participation in
the national exposition of United States
manufactures to be held in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, in October and November.,
“American manufacturers can not
safely defer their decision as to estab
lishing or stimulating sales yin South.
America,” said Mr. Schultz. “The ques
tion is not one. of today’s conditions, but
of the conditions a year or two from
now. Manufacturers may be very glad
of a brisk export demand then. The
time to establish it Is now. Two years
from now the United States will have
to compete with at least three other
nations for a market which it can get
now almost for the asking, and can hold
against all competition forever, merely
by deserving it.
“WC can not have export business just
when we want it. It must be developed,
mofe so than any domestic business.
The exporter today looks years ahead.
While Europe is now furnishing a
considerable market, Europe is getting
on its feet anil will not supply a per
manent market, except In certain lines.
“Oh the other hand, we have in South
America permanent market. Their money
is not below par—in fact, in some places
the dollar is above par. And these bank
ers and business men decided the best
thing to do xvonld be to have a show
ing of our products where a good ex*
port market would he found.”
Mr. Schulz said he would call on as
many manufacturers as possible, and.
that he will be at the Chamber of
Commerce from 3 to 5 p. m. Tuesday
afternoon to explain the proposition to
any manufacturer who is interested.
