were maintained at )S per cent ca-

but slowing down slightly the first
half of September with a slackening

Livestock
Receipts of cattle at the six mar-
kets in this district in August were
21 per cent larger than for the same
month in 1917 a new record for the
eighth month. Hog and sheep rt-
ccipth were 40 per cent larger for
the month as compared with re-
ceipts for August of last year. A
large proportion of the cattle and
hogs was light and unfinished. While
dry weather is conceded to have in-
fluenced larger marketing live stock
nien point to the figures as indicating
an increased supply of meat an-
imals and an expansion of the live
ttnlt-industry.
Cattle pr: es are higher than last
vear. finished steers reaching $18.50
as top price and other grades $1.50
to $4.50 higher than a year ago. iiogs
went to $20.55 early in September

Demand for men's clothing and fur-

groceries is active and at high prices.
Collections are good and cash pur-

Great Lakes 111. Oct. 2. The trim
little concrete motorboat built by
Walter N. Dowscy a lumberjack of
Iron River Mich. has just complet-
ed a Xavy recruiting tour which
started four months ago at Pitts-
burgh Pa. extended down the Ohio
river up the Mississippi the Illi-
nois the canal and to the mouth
of the Chicago river. ' 'Not a nail in
her sir" said the commander of tlie
proud little craft whose white sides
shimcred in the sunlight. A bluejack-
et band blared out a welcome and
the crew of four men stepped from
the sturdy boat "Concrete" and gave
three cheers. When Dovvsey decid-
ed he wanted a motor boat he pro-
ceeded to build one of concrete and
christened it "Concrete." Then in
October 191" when naval recruit-
ing yeas at its height and practfee
boats were wanted he presented the
"Concrete" to the United States
naval reserves at Chicago. The loat
will be tied up here until a further
program has been outlined.
