Heavy kinds met undependable outlet and lost 25 cents after an erratic price course, while yearlings sold actively and advanced that much over a week earlier. She stock brought the highest prices since war time, but closed the week topheavy, weakened by an expansion in the govement of common and medium-grade steers, which, although bringing relatively higher prices as compared with the better grades, are cheaper, on the hooks than cows and heifers at current levels. Relatively few long-fed steers passed $11.00, top being $11.15. Shippers wanted calves, forcing other interests to pay higher prices. Sharply curtailed, receipts and a keener edge to general demand brought about a sharp reaction in swine trade from the low levels reached late last week after persistent declines of nearly a month. At tbe low point prices for best hogs dropped below the $11.50 line, but the 80c tc $1.00 gains scored in the last few days carried the top back tiround $12.50. Practically all classes of butchers registered 80c to 95c gains, packing sows ruled 80c to $1.00 higher and slaughter pigs made a $1.00 advance. Fat- lamb values steered an uncertain price course the past week, fed lambs advancing 25 to 75c, the maximum betterment accruing to clipped kinds, while liberal offerings of California springers weakened prices mostly 25c.

' , *'Uncle Joe** at 89th Milestone Danville, III.--"Uncle Joe" Ciinnon, former speaker of the United Stater: house of representatives, celebrated his e)ghty-nlnth birthday at his home Field Marshal In&ugiir^ed President of Germany--- • 500,000 Cheer. ifertln.--Field Marshal Paul Hindenburg was Inaugurated President of Germany on Tuesday. A crowd estimated at more than "»00,000 cheered Von Hindenburg on his arrival In the capital from Hanover. The official inaugural ceremonies were held in the relchstag. He did not come at the side of his - kaiser, nor at -the head of his army, as be once hoped to do. He camei without the blare of trumpets or Imperial military trappings of old, but In a top hat and formal black coat as befitted the head dtlxen of the republic. Sixteen thousand poltte lined the route, five miles long. Though delayed for seven years, and In a different form than he had once expected to come, It* was a triumphant entry, nevertheless. Flanked my motor cycle police and led by a cavalcade of mounted police, three cars bearing Hindenburg, Chancellor Luther and the official reception party drove down nearly five miles of flagdraped boulevards between wails of flag-waving, cheering humanity lining the curbs to pay homage to the new President. Everywhere cheers rolled along the avenue while police cordons wrestled with the seething masses. A fleet of airplanes roared overhead, keenly eying the earth below for trouble. The whole triumphant route gave visible demonstrations of the divided allegiance of the German people between the new republic and the old empire. It was a victory celebration for the Nationalists, their grim black, white and red banners, under which Hindenburg fought in the war, flying in tlie wind. One flag which stood out especially was the tattered and bullettorn war banner which was raised at Antwerp in 1914. The new President made a parties ularly appropriate speech when leav-. Ing Hanover, replying to a farewell speech there made by the Socialist Gustav Noske. "I will continue to do my duty," ho said. "I know that only unity can save us. I promise special consideration for the poor and unhappy. I will work for the betterment and unity of all classes. T hope to be able to lead our people from strife back to unity." And then, as his train pulled out on the way to the capital of the nation, he thrust his head into the framework of the parlor car window and shouted: "Hoch Deutschland." "Thousands answered his call with cheers and hurst into the old "Deutschland Uber Alles."
