Bhippings hogs showed advances of a dime or more on early rounds, anything suitable for shipping pur- powes being scarce and in great demand. Packors also opened fully a dime above la week's close and before the close they bought hogs that were 20c or more higher than Saturday, In tact, the whole market was 80 uneven that it cannot be compared with Saturday except In a general way. Everything sold earl Bulk, average cost, and top today were all the highest of the year, and the highest on record for the summer months. Most of the sales landed at $0.90@10.16, with scal tered n up to $10.50, the top, and the A¥eraxe Wiy above $10.00 for the first time are now moro than §1.00 the low time less than , and are between $3.60 and' at this time a year ago. of sheep and lambs were b the largest of the year to date, belng estimated at an even hundred cars, or 26,01 head.” This Is nearly twico as large as last woek, and 10,000 heavier than two weeks ago, but smaller than for the same day year ago by more than 2,000 head, Lambs made up tho big end of the day nd a good share of them we: flesh. With prices showing viest on the mup, a lower trade was In order, and while first packer bids & good many noon. co ldering quality, em 16@36c lowe Some real desirable Cll!hlllllnl and Wyomings brought $10.76, while the bulk the good lambs seld up- ward from § with a fair to decent kind on down to $10.25. When it came to comparing prices with last week there was quite a bit of dif- forence In opinions. On paper prices were 10@16c lower, and that was the way a #00od many traders called the market, but others thought quality of some of the offer- ings wore enough better to warrant quot. ing prices fully 16¢ to in spots 2bc lower. Those who favored the 10@16c lower quota- tion were in the majority. Bulk of the offer- Ings had started scaleward by midday, though as was to be expected on so large & run there were weveral bands still unsoid at that time, A good many old sheep wcattered around, but compared with size of lamb offerings, mutton supplies were very light. Hardly cnough sold during the fore- noon to make a basls for comparisons, but most traders seemed to think that prices wore not far from steady with last week. Ewes at §6. 76 were of just a decent class, no sales of anything real good hav- ing been reported up to moon. ‘The blg run and & fresh break in killer prices falled to stop the feeder advano: buyers giving strong to if anything a litt higher prices right from ti of the feature sales of tl poutd Wyom- ing feeding lambs at $10.40, & new record. Recilz foeders were not as plentitul as one would imagine on so large & supply, Natur ally enough a good many still uneold at lunch time, lateness in killer sorting holding back the feeder trade. 287 Wyoming feeder lambs 295 Wyoming feeder lambe 218 Montana ewen 160 Montana yeariin 23 Idnho ewes . 1614 Wyoming fecder 468 Tanho lambs . 1634 Calitornia lambe 1423 Wyomlag lambs .

STORY OF THE MARKET New York, Aug. 21.—In further disregard of the shifting and still serfous aspect of tho laber controversy today's active markel evinced a pronounced disposition to ang- ment Inst week's gains. Ralls were almost the only stocks to show hesistation, ' al- though Reading's strength and activity proved almost an offset to the relative heavincss of St. Paul, Canadlan Pacific and othcr western and northwestern Issues. United States Stecl was the outstanding feuturs, making the new_record of 95 on advance of 3% points at the very close of the sessfgn, Steel's previous maximum was 94%, made late fn 1909, Today's turnover in the stock approximated 165,000 xhares, or almost 20 per cent of the whole. Record quotations were reglstered by other important stocks, notably the ship- ping_group. Marine common and preferred touched 39% and 104, respectively, and At- lantic, Gulf and West Indies rose to the un- precedented prics of 73, Pacific Mall and United Frult averaged 3 points’ advance at thelr best. Independent industr Steel, notably Lackawanna, Republic and Bloss-Sheffield Steels, Colorado Fuel and Great Northern Ore. Equipments were es- peclally strong and active In the final hour at 3 to 4-point advances. Automobile iasues wero varlably higher, except General Motors, which ylelded 5 points. Coppers, some of the semi-war descrips tions and Mexicans improved 1 to 3 points, with almost as much for fertilizers and some miscellaneous issues. Sears-Roebuck featured its cspaclal class at an advance of 4%. Total sales amounted to 865,000 shares, Bonds were steady with little trading in the international issues.
