PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET
h PORTLAND, Jan. 16 General of
ferings on the mid-week's market
have been very light and have fulled
to reach half way up to the demands.
If 60 car loads had reached the mar
ket today they would have been ab
sorbed readily and without affect
ing prices In the least. All offer
ings were sent over the scales
promptly at the top end o the quo
tations In the various classes and
trading In general shows a very act
ive aspect.
The cattle department has been
especially active, with no change in
quotations and practically everything
selling at the top end of the class.
The offerings In the hog depart
ment showed a very poor quality to
day, with prices holding just steady
with those prevailing In the previous
quotations. Hogs could easily be
good enough to bring 16 cents, al
though the hulk of tlio sales today
were at 15.50 on poorly finished
stuff.
Nothing of any considerable vol
ume was offered in the sheep de
partment. 'Most of the lambs, in
cluding the very small Ehlpment,
changed hands at 14.50, which is 25c
above the previous quotations for
Valley lambs, and n considerable
consignment, of breeding owes

THE WORLD
I GIANTS MUST TRAVEL ROUGH ,
ROAD TO WIN 1918 PENNANT
By II. C. HAMILTON
(United Press 'Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, Jan. 17. The big
league champions are going to have
toilsome opposition next summer.
Draft or no draft, war or no war,
things stack up with fully as much
gusto in the way of baseball opposi
tion in the big circuits as they did a
year ago. As a mntter of cold allur
ing fact, the grind looks to he closer
in 1918 than in 1917 in the National
league.
Charles Wecghman is the direct
cause of trouble for the Giants in the
distance. His scattering of checks for
various amounts in huge gobs over
the surface of the country has pro
duced a creditable array of talent in
Chicago, and it must not be thought
for even a brief, fleeting while that
Fred Mitchell won't hnve something
to say about who's who in the first
division of the National league next
fall.
The Cubs, Cardinals and Reds may
be relied upon to gum up the works
for John lloGraw from; now hence
forth. If John McGraw" squeezes by
to another National league pennant,
it will be by the brief margin of f.
hair.
A change of managers nt St. Louis
is going to have a lot of effect on the
Cardinals. And it will not bo a bad
effect, for there isn't a big league
manager in the business who knows
more about getting a lot of baseball
out of a team than Jack Hendricks.
The team will lose none of its ability
through the loss of a manager expe
rienced in big league tactics. And
Hendricks is a noted developer of
pitchers. The team will be up there
fighting as of yore. -
A great deal cannot ho said of the
Reds at first glance, for things arc
rather disorganized within the Cincin
nati club. Fred Toney probably will
not be among those present when the.
Reds again hike for the happy train
ing grounds. His loss will be a de
cided blow to the Cincinnati pennant
hopes, for Toney is one of the best
pitchers in the country. He is cap
able of winning thirty game3 in a
season. In young Gerner, Christy
Mathewson may have a man who will
partially replace drafted Fred. Dan
Howlcy, who had charge of the young
southpaw last summer, declares Ger
ner the best find in years. Russell
Blackburn will be a more valuable
man at second base than was Dave
Shean.
Oh, my, yes. the fight i3 going to
De interesting plenty.

Was Feeling All I;nn Oeivn.
Symptoms of on-romng kidney
trouble deserve prompt attention, for
neglect Invites serious illness. Louis
Iluckner, Somerset, Va., writes: "I
was feeling all run down; tired,
with pains In my hack. After tak
ing Foley Kidney Pills I felt like a
new man." Backache, rheumatic
pains, stiff joints, sore muscles,
swollen ankles, puffinesn under eyes,
and Bleep-disturbing bladder ail
ments quickly yield to this timo-trled
remedy. A boon to nilddlo-agrd men
and women. Sold everywhere.
