Spring & Rumper sold at a Bew high for the year following de- claration of the regular quarterly dividend. Reo Motor, however, was an exception to the general tendency and felt the effect of profit taking despite declaration of another extra dividend of 2 per cent in cash along with the regular quarterly 2 per cent. Bohm Aluminum & Brass reached Its best price at 31. Maryland Casualty went forward move than 5 points to a new top, and Atlas Pl wood was in demand around its best. In the case of Atlas Plywood it was reported that the company had been successful in obtaining Canadian patent claims on its product follow- Ing allowance of similar claims re- cently by, the United States. Firestone Tire Rises. Firestone Tire, of which Ford is the largest customer, rose 10 points to a new high record, and rumors were current of highly favorable dividend action at the coming meeting. American Rolling Mills' strength was coincident with the announce- ment that the company had pooled ®ome of its patents with the United Engineering & Foundry Co., which will result in the formation of a new patent company. No new developments in the merger Negotiations between the Washington traction companies were forthcoming to account for the rise of 25 points in Washington Railway & Electric, which earried the price to a new high record.

BY C. ROYL Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 29.—The various factions of the live stock and packing industries, always embroiled 1o a certain degree, have begun lay- ing down a barrage in preparation for a bitter fight centering in Congress. This year the battle will involve the direct buying of live stock. The ques- tion has thousands o partisans on both sides. Senator Arthur Capper has just an- nounced he will introduce a bill in Congress designed to put out of bus| ness stockyards serving a single pro- ducer of packing house products. This would cut off some of the direct mar- kets the live stock man has for his an- nouncements and force dealing through commission men in the large central markets. The opposition o d rect buying is aimed at the large pacl er who can have a private stockyard to handle animals purchased direct from the farmer. Fight Commission Men. Many of the Western producers op- pose bitterly the effort to force them to leave part of their returns in the hands of commission men, They claim it is more profitable for them to deal direct and avoid long freight hauls to central markets, with consequent deterioration in condition of animals. Intelligent some of them say, see in the packer a sales agent and feel it would be just as foolish to abandon him as for an automobils manufac- turer to antagonize dealers. William M. Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture, says direct buying has renched such a stage that it threat- ens to affect materially the price paid for live stock and that something must be done if the stock grower is to ob- tain the full benefits of competition at the stockyards under Federal su- pervision. Advocates of direct buying say that since slive stock prices are broadcast to them seven times a day by radio, the farmer does not stand any more chance of being cheated on price in his own bharnyard than in the central stockyards. Central Yard Shipments Wane. The fact remains that shipments of cattle and hogs to central yards are waning. Small independent packing plants have sprung up in cities and towns close to the sources of produc- tion. The one thing essential in the packing industry is for plants to run continuously and the large packers have had to go out, they say, and buy direct in order to supplement their supplies arriving at central markets. The great packing centers have heen hit especially hard this year. The volume of hog shipments has fallen off materially. Usually the packers buy hogs heavily in Winter when prices for hogs are usually high. pricest or hogs are usually high. There was a_reversal of trend this year, with high prices last Winter and'a slump last Spring and Summer. This has disorganized packers' prof- its. The withholding of hog ship- ments hag been due in part to the belief of farmers that corn for feed- ing hogs would be in small supply and high in price. The corn crop was larger than anticipated, but the farmers then did not have the animals to feed. Cuts Into Pay Rolls. ‘The drop in hog shipments has cut deep into pay rolls of the big market- ing centers. The larger part of pack- ing house labor is occupied in the han- dling of pork products. There is not much lahor required in the butchering of a steer, since the animal is killed, skinned and cut in half. With a hog, the butchering of the animal leads to production of lard, smoked and pickled meats and a score of other products. The supplies of cattle also have been light despite the high prices. The sheep and lamb trade has been fairly normal this year, but warm weather has held back the usual sea- sonal demand for pork products in late weeks. The outlook in the packing indus- try is for a normal vear in 1928. The settlement of the price war with the English packers should result in im- proved foreign trade conditions. STEEL TURNOVER QUICK IN THE CHICAGO DISTRICT Iron Merchants Renew Their Stock 83 Times a Year, Dollar Cen- sus Survey Shows. By the Assoclated Press, CHICAGO, November 29.—Steel trading in Chicago has a quicker turnover than cigars and cigarettes and even bakery goods, the Dollar cen- sus of the Chicago industrial survey disclosed today. The steel merchant renews his stock 33 times a year, the survey found, twice as often as are stocks of bakery good, cigars and cigarettes. 1t is 10 times harder for a tailor to sell a custom-made suit or an under- taker to sell a casket than it is for a steel salesman to sell an invoice of steel, the survey revealed. The steel industry in Chicago does an annual business of $231978,900, 5 per cent of the $5,000,000 total. The average steel salesman sells about $600,000 annually, compared with the jewelry salesman, who sells $68.000, or a sporting goods drummer, who sells $58,000. SILVER QUOTATIONS.

But most of all you want full new car value. Remember these basic facts: 1 Your present car has only one fundamental basis of value: i.e., what the dealer who accepts it in trade can get for it in the used car market. 2 It has seemingly different values because competitive deal- ers are bidding to sell you a new car. 3 The largest -allowance offered is not necessarily the best deal for you.
