ficial hide and tallow bulletin:
"The sentiment: throughout the entire
trade seems to be that lower prices are in
evitable, in keeping with the general In
fluence to reduce the nigh cost of living
and various investigations by the govern
ment in an endeavor to find measures
to bring this about and some of these
investigations are hovering around shoes,
etc., and hides and skins are naturally ab
sorb! ng a certain amount of this senti
ment. There Is an undercurrent of weakness
which Is becoming more pronounced as time
parses, but as to what hides are worth at
this time is mere guess work, as the pack
ers themselves are at a loss to know just
what to ask, and It is thought that very
sharp concessions would have to be granted
to start business."
No material changes In the paying price
are announced by Portland dealers, H. M.
Scarritt says in this connection:
"Just how long present prices In this
territory will be maintained remains to be
seen, and while we will continue to pay
them just as long as we consistently can.
we can see the handwriting on the wall just
as plain as a 24-sheet poster, predicting a
big slump in prices In the very near future,
as present local prices are cents above those
being paid In other territories. As we can
see no reason for, or any indication of prices
reacting, a word, to the wise should be suf
ficient and the wide awake, up-to-date
butcher who figures with a pencil, in place
of with his cleaver, should keep his hides
and skins closer sold up, as It Is our pre
diction that the highest prices In history
which he has been receiving- recently are

Yielding Prices and Agitation Against High

NEW YORK, Aug. 22. Duo's tomorrow
will say:
Another week or price agitation and in
vestigations, of fresh strikes and threats of
others, and of demoralization in foreign ex
change could hardly have failed to affect
the economic situation. Bank clearings that
are wholly without precedent for the period
do not mean that there Is no shrinkage of
it grow clearer in
I hides and leather and textiles and elsewhere,
though in nearly every quarter there is still
great activity on past orders. Yet certain
markets that had been feverishly animated
are now hesitating, either because prices
have outrun the views of buyers or because
the yielding that has accompanied the move
ment against high living costs has led to
expectations of further recessions and deal
ers are waiting.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22. The corn market
averaged higher today, though the best
prices were not maintained. Trad, was
largely local in character and buying on the
low points was noticeable. The selling prea-
aure diminished somewhat, the rally In for

points being a factor which worked against
bearish market. The present premium of
the cash product over September also told
against declining prices. Corn closed weak,
unchanged to 1 cent lower, September show
ing the greatest decline. Final figures were

$1.44 1.44. Oats closed a ahade higher

CLAIMS HAVE PRIORITY:
Spokane Judge Decides Railroad.
Mortgage Is Secondary, t '
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 22. Claims
of employes of the Spokane & Inland
Empire Railway company, except the.
platform men, are entitled to priority,
over the mortgage to the extent of
one month's wages. Prank Rudkin.
United States district Judge! held to
day in a decision concerning the status
of claims against the company, which
is in the hands of a receiver with lia .
bilities of several million dollars.
The men were granted the month's,
increase because for that period they
worked under the belief, held by both,
themselves and the company, that the
road was under the control of the gov
ernment and therefore employes came
under order No. 27, granting a wage
increase. Subsequently the company.
refused the increase. The court set .
November 1 for the date of the sale
of the property, which consists of city,
and interurban lines. -r
