(By Thomson & McKinnon)
•—Dec. 8—
We have had a market today that waa
distinctively useful. There was an ab
sence of uniformity. There were stocks
that were strong and some that were
weak. Some declined because of a weak
technical position, some because of liqui
dation.
Mexican and Pan-American Petroleums
were sold because imaginary development
did not materialize.
Liquidation continued in United States
Food Products and in the corn products.
Finally, general selling developed
throughout the list with recessions re
sulting some moderate, some severe.
We have recentlv had a rise with con
siderable short covering. Now we have
a weak market in which a short interest
may again be created to be followed by
-a rise again under a different market
from what we have had during recent
months.
Prices are down to hard times
We are over-discounting depression and
the depression may not last very long.
There are still weak spots in the mar
ket. but there has been so much liquida
tion that much that was unfavorable has
been corrected. ... „
We do not anticipate a further decline
from this level. We are rather inclined
to the opinion that we are in the midst
of a traders' market, which may con
tinue for several months, and after sev
eral davs of selling we will be in a posi
tion for another recovery.

Hog prices on the local livestock ex
change opened 15@20e lower today, due
to a good active demand both by local
packers and shippers with Eastern house
connections and to the comparatively
light receipts. Conservative! estimates on
the total receipts for the day were close
to 13,000, approximately half of those
of the Wednesday market.
The market opened with a rush and
scramble, and before the close of the
early forenoon hours, practically all of
the. good mediums, lights and heavies
were sold.
Practically all of the good hogs of all
grades brought $9.90® 10. Pigs generally
brought the prices of the loads, and
roughs around $9, with a few at $9.25.
Local packers bought approximately
5,000 of the 13,000 hogs on the market.
The demands were not nearly filled
when all the hog* were sold.
Trading on the cattle market was much
quieter than on the Wednesday morket,
with prices little more than steady gen
erally, and lower bids by packers on
some of the poor stuff of all grades
There were few good cattle on the mar
ket.
Receipts aproxlmated 800.
There was a dull tone to trading ui
the calf market, with the exception of
demand for good to choice veals. Price.*
on these grades were about steady. All
other grades except good to choice veals
were fully $1 lower.
The depression of the market was said
by commission men to be due to the
falling off of orders from Eastern houses.
There were approximately 400 calves
on the market
With approximately 300 sheep nud
lambs on the market the market was
steadv, with sheep at s3@4 and lambs
$5.5009.

On Commission Row
There wfts a further decline of 25 to
50 cents per barrel in potato prices on
the local wholesale produce market to
day, due, commission men stated, to re
port* that there is a much larger potato
supply than can possibly be used this
winter, and also to the decreased buying
power of the puhlle.
Commission men are generally of the
opinion that the price of potatoes will
gradually drop until spring
At the present time they are selling at
$2.5003.25 per 150 pound bag. approxi
mately two and one-half bushels
There are but few Nancy Halls on
the market now, but anew supply will
be on the market within the next few
days.
Trade was dull at the opening today,
nud most hoto.es generally expressed the
Opinion that the trade for the pnut two
weeks has been gradually getting weaker
They attribute this to the theory that
many people are now becoming ert.u .ni
ton! In tbelr grocer Mils in order that
they may lav aside enough for the extra
nud traditional expenditures for Christ
mas. . ,
A heavy trade is expected the week
previous to Christmas and through the
New Year holidays, but after the New
Year it Is thought that trade will con
tinue dull until spring.

GRAIN MARKET
STILL DECLINES
Some Strength Shown at Start
—Provisions Close Lower.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Grain prices con
tinued their decline on the Chicago Board
of Trade today.
Some strength was shown at the open
ing, due to covering by shorts and the
heavy export sale on Wednesday. How
ever. weakness soon developed and de
clines were recorded in all quotations
due to heavy selling with little buying
power.
Provisions were lower.
December wheat was up %c at the open
ing at $1.70%, and In later trading lost
3%e. March wheat opened unchanged at
$1.07, and subsequently dropping %c.
December corn lost %c at the open
ing, 74%e, and later lost %c.
corn, after opening off %c at 76%c,
dropped %c before the close. July corn
was unchanged at the opening at 77%c,
but In later trading slumped %c.
December oats opened unchanged at
48%e, and subsequently lost %c. May
oats opened unchanged, but later dropped
%c. July oats opened off %c at 51%e,
losing an additional %c later.

—Dec. h
Wheat —Revival of statements that em
bargoes against exportation of Southern
Hemisphere crops would oe llftsJ within
a short time was rcsponsio.e ror the easy
tone of the early market In wheat. Senti
ment was helped also by reports of larger
offerings in the Southwes.. also by the
fact that more than one-half mil
lion bushels of Canadian wheat is now
in trails t, mainly to Buffalo. These items
were entirely overcome by large export
sales, the seaboard reporting 1,000,000
bushels of Manitoba and a fair amount
of domestic wheat. These reports were
confirmed by the character of the demand
for the March delivery in this market,
The economic situation is playing a part
in the market to the extent that there is
a considerable curtailment of investment
demand. It is quite reasonable to expect
that this condition will remain until
after the turn of the year. This being so,
the demand will be confined to foreign
countries and the milling trade. Because
of this, markets may suffer periods of de
pression, but if faith can he placed upon
the statistical situation, then there is no
log cnl reason for believing that prices
will assume a permanent downward trend.
Corn—lt is claimed that Eastern news
papers are giving considerable attention
to the economic situation. This natur
ally destroys confidence and the result
is to be seen in the corn market to the
extent that the buying by the distributing
trade fell off sharply today. Exporters
were asking for offers but no business has
been reported We again refer to the fact
that the rate of current receipts is not
sufficient for local uses. The movement
from the country must Increase In order
to meet new demands from the East nnd
South which will inevitably appear. The
Increase in movement from the country
is not expected to materialize unless buy
ers are willing to pay more money.
Oats We direct yonr attention to the
fact that the oats market shows an ex
cellent undertone at ail time despite weak
ness of other grains We believe this Is
due to the growing Idea that price* w 11
not be further depressed by any free
movement from the country. On the eon
trary. there should be a better demand
from consumers
I’rovlsions -There Is a little more
frleiuillne** displayed In provisions in ex
pectation of a better rash trade and a
comparatively small movement of hogs
from the country,

Female of Trout
Species Believes
Advertising Pays
Bit of Newspaper Found in
Gills Leads to Owner Pick
ing Mate for ‘Cleopatra.’
1 NORTH STERLING, Conn., Dec. 9
i Once upon a time a poet sang more or
1 less forebodingly of the superior powers
! of the fa male of the species in achlev
j Ing her ends. Whether or not the poet
| was inspired the fact remains that
| “Cleopatra,” a female trout, the pet of
j “BUI” Fisher, has acquired a mate after
! much effort.
/ i “Cleopatra,” who, like the siren of the
| Nile, in a previous incarnation was tin
! doubtedly a heßrtbreaker has reigned
; alone in Fisher’s well for two years.
] Several times she has displayed syinp
i toms of loneliness, and twice this year
has managed to have herself hauled to l
the surface in the bucket only to be j
; hurled hack again.
) Apparently obsessed with the idea that \
she must acquire a mate before the end ;
■of leap year, "Cleopatra” wiggled into]
I the bucket once again and was drawn to :
i the top. She would again have been ■
i consigned to the depths except for the
' fact that a bit of watersoaked news
| paper was clinging to her gills. “Bill"
! look the paper and, spreading it out,
! was amazed to find that it contained
! part of a story of the famous “tunnel-
I ing trout" owned by Colonel Stone of
| Wlnsted.
| “By gum," said “Bill” in awe-struck
tones. “Don't that beat all. I'm going
to pick her a mate.” And he did.
