Stocfc Market Review
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—The Evening
Sun’s financial review today said:
"Today’s stock market was a specialty
affair In which the public utility issues
were prominent, but the general run of
stocks did little mope than mark time
pending the outcome of the British min
ers’ strike.
“Stocks were less sensitive than yes
terday and vigorous buying of a number
of properties imparted a firm tone to the
whole list.
"The rise in United Ffuit which com
menced several days ago, continued this
morning, the stock going up to 225 for
a gain of more than 7 points and anew
level for the year.
“American International and Atlantic
Gulf were sympathetically higher.
’ "The whole public utility group moved
forward 1 to 3 points on comparatively
light -buying and was the most buoyant. 4
“RaUs were dull and steady,
“The foreign exchange market was
generally firm with sterling % of a cent
higher at $3.45.
“Price uncertainty and the lateness of
the season have been militating against
any important revival in business activ
ity, according to the weekly trade re
views.”

There was a farther decline of 25c to
50c in prices of hogs on the local Stock
market today at the opening, and the
decline held throughout the early trad-
The market had a very poor sentiment
and there were indications that there
would probably be a further drop be
fore the end of trading.^
Local packers were about the only ac
tive buyers, the eastern shippers appar
ently acting under small orders.
Indications pointed out that there
would probably be a large number of
the 5,500 fresh hogs and the 550 stale
hogs on sale left over for rhe Monday
market unless better buying movement
set in after jthe early trading.
Most at the buyers were inclined to not
want even sl3 hogs, which leaves an im
pression that there mr.y be a still fur
ther decline in prices.
There were but few good heavy hogs
on the market, most of the hogs being
of the medium and light grades.
However, there was one load of good
heavy hogs weighing around 280 pounds
that brought the extreme top of the mar
ket. $13.50. j .
The bulk of the good heavy hogs *old
around $13.25, with some as low as
$13.15 and a few at sl3 35.
-Good medium hogs brought [e-mail];
with a few at $3.25.
Light hogs generally brought sl3, with
a few going as low as $12.90.
The bulk of sales for the early trad
ing was close to sl3.
Trading on the cattle market was quiet,
with onlv 150 fresh cattle on the mar
ket for sale. The yards are fairly well
cleared of stale cattle.
l*Ttces were generally steady, with
the few good cattle on the market proba
bly a little atronger.
Calves were about steady with the
close of the Friday market.
However, there was a sls top, which
wag 50c higher than the Friday top, but
generally prices were steady.
Receipt* for the day approximated 200.
With light receipts at 200. sheep were
steady at $4@4.50, and lambs were
higher with aa sll top.

British Labor Situation Princi
pal Factor.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—After opening
strong quotations on grain on the fhl
cago Board of Trane sagged today and
cld&ed lower than yesterday.
The British labor situation was the
main factor in the drop.
Provisions were irregular.
December wheat was up 2%r at the
opening, $2.04%, and closed off 4%e.
March wheat opened at $1.90, off %c, and
closed Apwn 2%c.
December corn was up %c at the open
ing, 81 %c, and was off le at the close.
May corn opened unchanged at 87%c, and
closed off %c.
December oats was unchanged at the
opening, 53%c, and closed at that figure.
May oats opened unchanged at 58%c, and
lost .%c in later trading.
(By Thomson A McKinnon.)
* —Oct. 28-
Wheat—The only evidence of any ex
port business was reported buying of the
December delivery in the Southwest.
This could quite possibly have been
against sales consummated yesterday
which by the way was made possible be
cause of plentiful offerings from south
western. shippers. On* the question of
foreigu demand, It is to be noted that
vessels have been sailing from Montreal
without any grain lu holds. There was
some business reported In rye la the way
of export, but at a reduction in premium
of 3c. This lowering of bids and the
fuct that ths export demand appears
only on good depressions in price, sugy
gests that forreign demand is of a leis
urely sort, therefore is not likely to ap
pear when markets are advancing. There
are mauy Items drifting in from the com
mercial world, all showing a considera
ble destruction of demand. This attitude
on purt of buyers will In all probability
appear in everything, even foods.
Corn—An item in the corn situation
is reduction of premiums for current ar
rivals, No. 2 mixed selling today at 3%c
over December, yellow* *md white at 3%c
to c. This Is of importance for the rea
son that it is a reflection of the poor
demand. Still nnother Item is the fact
that receipt* from the country are con
tinuing longer and of greater size than
any one expected. Distributing and In
dustrial demand for corn are both dis
tinctly slow, probably another illustra
tion of the waiting uttitude of all con
sumers.
tilts—There have been hedging sales
coming from Northwest. Demand has
been < outined to previous sellers. Mar
ket will be governed by <-'>ra.
Provisions—Foreign demand decreased
greatly and the southern trade is not
brisk.

police station, declared he mistook the
pastor for a burglar when he met him
In the hallway.
Sextro occupied an apartment above
the one In which the pastor and his fam
ily lived.
According to Information given po
lice, Sextro was among the many tenants
of buildings owned by the pastor who
had quarreled with Ruff recently be
cause of large Increases in rent.
■s. The pastor, his wife and three chil
dren were preparing to go to Melvin, Ill
early today, where they planned to vielt
John Ehl, a brother of Mrs. Ruff.
Mrs. Rutt and the children went out
to the automobile In front of the apart
ment house, where they adjusted the bag

high rent conditions in Chicago the Rev.
Mr. Ruff was among the landlords calls!
