The change in sentiment is due to the fact that rolled barley and cracked corn are relatively cheaper than saillstuffs hsve been ruling at. The result is that bid and ask price between the various mills and whole salers have been reduced about $1.50 a ton. With the new government flour orders avail able there is a mistaken idea in some parts that this will force an additional supply of mill feed upon the market. This is not the ease, because there hss been already ground by the miller more than a sufficient supply to take care of any orders that the government may distribute during the day. ' Trend of the hay trade H qelst, although practically no change is indicated In Quotations. Coarse grains are steady, but wheat continues to move to the East, where premiums are still being paid.

J PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS PLANNED n,rs,. BUTTER MEN PLANA NEW ORGANIZATION TO AIO Would Take in States of Oregon, Idaho and Washington and Prob ably Northern California Butter Prices Are' Generally Down. A creamery association of the Pacific North west Is planned as a result of the recent meeting of butter makers at Seattle.

There is complete stagnation of trading la apples at Pacifio Northwest primary centers. While the demand is keen and would be active if there -was general offerings, the lack of open market supplies is keeping the market from s&owinav-ny activity. It now develops that the real reason why the lower grade apples advanced so rapidly and wa sold out so quickly at Pacific Northwest points was that, eentrary to the usual custom, Europe purchased these supplies instead' of the extra fancy stock. This condition was caused by the fact that the British government placed a max imum price upon apples and that this priee coma oe ootainea just as well tor the U grade as for the fancy and extra fancy offerings. There are plenty of orders available for apples at primary centers: in fact, far more orders are in sight at this time than the various selling" organizations .have apples with which to IU1 them. , It appear that some of the smaller speculators have purchased a few carloads of apples and are not willing to seu taem at any price Just now, because they anticipate still greater return. Local market is very firm as a result, with prices maintained lor all ottering.

(L N. S.) Quite an ir regular and- unsettled market for corn, with price changes sharp and continuous, prevailed during- the i entire day. Pronounced weakness was shown early, and it looked as if the bears were in complete control of the situation. After pounding the market down sharply from the resting spot of yesterday, there was a complete reversal of conditions, as the early sellers took hold in a liberal manner, and their purchases were quite free. There was a net gain in corn of IKS So. with the February displaying the greater strength, uats advanced 1 c Hog products were irregular, pork advancing 80 75c; lard was 15c lower to 25c higher, and ribs 27 He to 17 He higher. Chicago, Jan. 21. (L N. 8.) With prices to 1 lower, com opened today with the market dull and lifeless. Trading was light, with commission houses on the selling end. Oats opened to c lower. The market was featureless, with trading extremely light. Provisions opened slightly lower, with practi cally no trade. Chicago Press: range of price furnished by United CORN Open.

LAST INJERW WITH LIEBKNECHT Declaring "Gulf of Hate" Be tween Labor and Capital Wider Than Ever Before. By Skaw TJesmead Exclusive Cable by the International Nawa Serv ice and the London Daily Sxpsaaa. Copenhagen, : Jan. 21. (I. K. S.) "Never waa there such a gait of hate between labor and capital as -exists today." Those words were contained in the last Interview given out by Karl Lieb knecht, the Spartacan leader who waa killed by a mob in Berlin. It waa given to the Berlin correspondent of the Poll, tiken and printed here today. LJebknecht waa tracked down by cor respondents and was finally found Writ ing; on a table in the kitchen of a small apartment At first Llebknecht refused to be in terviewed, saying : "I won't talk ; I only make revolution." Asked for a photograph the red leader declared : "I have no private life; I only make revolution." Becoming angered at some remark made by the correspondent, Llebknecht burst out "No people ' in history ever carried through their political ideas without force. It la an idyllic but naive plan to try to accomplish social reform by voting. It is absurd. The national as sembly will be only a continuation of the reichstag for talking shop. This last gigantic fight in the world's his tory means either the end or the con tinuation of usury and capitalism. A compromise is Impossible. Parliaments are finished with and useless. It was then that Llebknecht brought in the "Gulf of Hate." More Units of 91st Have Sailed From France for 'America Washington, Jan. 21. (TJ. P.)

The hog price agreement policy of the food administration wilt be continued, despite attacks upon the present scale of $17.50 In the face of the present large surplus, F. S. Snyder, head of the meat division announced today. " " "The rood administration will fulfill Its pledge given to the hog producers of the country on November S. 1917," said Snyder. "The attack (by the Chi cago board of trade) ' is not justified for the simple reason that the surplus of hogs now in this country will turn Into a big deficit before next summer if Europe can get sufficient money and ships to move the stuff." The hog committee of the food ad ministration will meet January 28 to agree on a price for hogs during Febru ary. ... i "The visible demands will take care of the surplus some time In March." said Snyder. "Spring will see a slight hog shortage instead or an overflow." The agreement referred to by Snyder is the statement of Joseph P. Cotton, chief of the meat division, and now in Europe with Herbert Hoover. The food administration has no pries fixing powers, but is authorised under the T a. a mm k m,V B0Mbhmntsi with in. dustries for stabilised prices. Snyder declared tnat the high prices are not of particular benefit to the packers Inasmuch as the packers profits are limit. "It will be found," said Snyder, "that packers sales will not have netted them the full nine per cent which they were allowed as a fair profit." . Concerning the surplus; Snyder said that the present supply of hogs Is 2,000, 000 less than in 1918. His figures show that the hog production for 1916 was 43,073,703 ; in 1917 it was 33,909,664 ; in 1918 tlt totaled 40,795.477. These figures represent hogs inspected and slaugh tered. , L-Jt World Program of M. E. Church Has Opened at Chicagd Chicago, Jan.. 21.
