For the man Of fashion there arc many

threaten to overthrow the dictum Of at least
one long established and well-known Amer
loan house, whose spring announcements
have always been looked forward to BY
men of fashion as something akin to a
royal pronunciamento. For the sunnsr il
light stiff hats everything will therefore be
in style and a blind man could hardly err.

nEo Pays for the Weekly Indian
ZJU Chieftain to January l, 1898.

An old lady named Ross came out
from Georgia one day last week to
visit her son and son-in-Iaw who re-
side ear Eoyil. She had never trav-
eled extensively, and the information
that there was no depot there caused
her SO much anxiety, lest she would
not find the folks, that her reason was
temporarily dethroned. Friday she
was better and proceeded to her des-
tination.

The Cattle Market.
ONCE of SCALING & TAMBLyN, \
Live Stock Commission Merchants, ;
Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. 4, '92.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. A. '92.J
Receipts Of cattle at this market for
the week past were $1,000, being about
the largest in the history of the yards.
The Texas and quarantine yards had
their share and besides there was'a
good many Texas and westerns in the
native divisions. With some $4,000 cat
tie at Chicago and the other markets
also we'll supplied, it was no more than
could be expected that there would be
dull, dragging market, making a hard
week for the seller, but very favorable
for the buyer, as all concessions had
to be made by the former. Prices de-
clined from Is to Is cents on the better
grades during the week, and on COM
mon and trashy stuff vas from rs to
40 tents lower and hard to sell at these
prices. Common natives, stockers
and feeders suffered even more than
the western and range cattle.
All the packing and provision houses
are we'll supplied with meat and there
is not much encouragement for better
prices until some of this surplus has
been worked off, but when that will
be is hard to say.
Our last reports from your country
and from Texas are that there are still
lots of cattle to- be marketed during
the coming few weeks aud as there is
so little time left, we cannot help but
predict heavy receipts.
In some sections the grass is already
dying and catt1emen will endeavor to
ship at once, before cattle begin
shrinking.
We had a strong to higher market
yesterday, with moderate receipts, and
to-day we have 10000 head and a steady
market on good cattle. Common and
medium stuff are selling at about last
week prices.
Good 1000 Id steers from your country
are bringing 2.60 O. 2.75, and the bulk
range from 2.25 O. 2.6O, and common
one from 200 @ 2.25.
Cows are selling fairly we'll and are
bringing from l.35 g. 1.70, and common
rom 75c O. LIS. The calf market
has been very good and good calves
sell readily at 800 a 500.
Hog receipts are moderate and prices
are holding up ve-y we'll. The new P.
ID. Armour Packing house opened for
business yesterday and with~a daily
capacity Of 5000 cattle, Is. 500 hogs and
1000 sheep will make its presence no.
ticeable to the patrons Of this market.
