PRINT BCTTEB PRICES NOT UNIFORM
Cut Made by One City Creamery Is Not Yet
Followed by Others.
The 3-cent cut In print butter prices
made by one of the city creameries yester

weakness of the cube butter market and the
lighter consumption, due to the Influenza
epidemic, was held to warrant the reduc
tlon. The cut. however, was not generally
followed and two prices were current. The
coming week will demonstrate whether i
uniformly lower market for prints is neces

with 63 cents offered and 60 cents asked.

Foreign DeTelopments More Than
Offset Posting - of New Hog
Minlmums for November.
CHICAGO, Oct. 26. Reports that Turkey
had made an offer, which virtually amounted
to surrender, brought aDout a decided set
back today in the value of corn. The mar
ket closed heavy, lc to 2c net lower,
with November $1.25 to $1.25 and De
cember $1.20 to $1.20. Oats finished
c to lc down. The outcome in provis
ions was an advance ranging from 50c to
$1 50.
The posting of the new hog prices came
after the corn market had succumbed to the
bearish influence of tho news regarding
Turkey.
Oats weakened with corn.
Provisions went soaring on account of a
big lift given to minimum hog prices for
November. The greatest resulting advance
In provisions was 53 on the January delivery I

All Other Considerations Outweighed In
Week's Active Market.
NEW TORK. Oct. 26. Money condi
tions far outweighed all other considerations
in this week's very active stock market,
even the significant developments in the war
situation being subordinated.
Measure adopted by the local money com
mittee to restrict speculation and otherwise
conserve credits for the present and future
requirements of the Government were re
carded as a step In the right direction. The
enormous expansion of loans stressing the
need for such action.
Persistent peace talks, nelgntenea by events
of the week, has undoubtedly stimulated a
distinct revival of investment purchases, ap-
lying with especial force to rails ana in
dustrials of the class not identified with the
war group.
The inquiry lor rails naa its nasis largely
in the further satisfactory statements of
earnings and their more assured dividend

Conditions in the more important lines or

HOE PRICES ESTABLISHED
PACKERS WILL BUT OX BASIS
OF $17.50 IX NOVEMBER.
Ability to Maintain Urice Will De
pend on Normal Marketing
During Month.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 25. The
conference between the livestock subcom
mittee of the Agricultural Advisory Board,
Including special members representing the
swine industry and the Feed Administra
tion, has after consideration of the present
situation of the pork and hog market
reached the following conclusions:
The entire marketing situation has so
changed since the September joint confer
ence as ,to necessitate the entire alteration
in the plans of price stabilization. The cur
rent peace talk has alarmed the holders of
corn, and there has been a price decline of
from 25 cents to 40 cents per bushel. This
decline has spread fear among swine grow
ers that a similar reduction in the prices
of hogs would naturally follow. In view of
these changed conditions, many swine pro
ducers anticipated lower prices, and as a
result rushed their hogs to market in large
numbers and this over-shipment has added
to and aggravated the decline.
With the return to peace, so far as It Is
possible to interpret this fact, it appears
that there should be even a stronger de
mand for pork products after the war and,
heretore, any aiarm ox nog producers as to
the effect of peace is unwarranted by the
outlook.
As a result or negotiations on foreign or
ders, the following undertaking has been
given by the packers:
It is agreea tnai me parsers participating
In these orders will undertake not to pur
chase hogs for less than the following
agreea nunimui xur lob montn or XSovem
btr that-is, a dailv minimum o.f $17.50 per
hundred pounds on average of packers'
droves excluding throwouts. ihrowouts to be
defined aa pigs under 130 puunds. stags,
boars, thin sows and skips. Further, that
no hogs of any kind shall be bought, ex
cept throwouts, at less than $16.50 per hun
dred pounds, the average of packers'
droves to be construed as the average of the
total sales in the market of all hogs for a
given day. All the above to be based on
Chicago. The ability of the packers to carry
out this arrangement will depend on there
being a normal marketing of hogs based
upon the proportionate increase over the
receipts, of last year. The increase in pro
duction appears to be a maximum of about
15 per cent, and we can handle such an in
crease. If the producers of hogs should, as
they have in the past few weeks, premature
ly market hogs at such increasing numbers
over the above it is entirely beyond the
ability ol the pacKers to maintain these
minimums, and therefore we must have the
co-operation of the producer himself to
maintain these results."
