HOGS-The heavy run of under-weight
hogs is beginning to have it's effect on
prices. Today's run hepe~was heavy with
a big end of light weights While the
few heavy hogs on sale brought prices
very close to steady with yesterday the
light stuff was a fat Is cents lower Our
hogs today sold at a. range of $500 to
500, bulk s5.65@5S So. We did not have
choice load of hogs on sale and very
few that were even good. There is no
question but that we have the best mar
ket for light hogs in the country. Prices
here on this class arenpractically steady
with Chicago. This Will hardly continue,
however. if the heavy run of light stuff
keeps up just now packers want the
heavy hogs and will pay high prices to
get them.
sHEEP-Receipfs haze been liberal this
week, and prices are a little lower than
ON Monday. Choice, light ewes will sell
close to steady but other sfaeep are Is
cents lower. Lambs are 10@l5 cents
under last week. The demand Is only
fair

New York Stock Gossip.
Reported by H. Holbert & Son
1t is gratifying to be able to report a
NAL lines, showing a more rational con-
dition of affairs and rather better de-
mand. 1t is too early to boast of any
very marked recovery or to outline
any very bullish policy more than the
general principle of a. healthy reaction
from recent prices, nevertheless we re-
gard the money market condition as bet
ter. zi
The high rates have brought good
dead of money here from institutions
which have been loaning it on call in
various directions, and are now anxious
to concentrate it here att high rates for
the coming six months We have no
reason to believe that any7stock exchange
houses of high reputee are at all crowded
for money; or are in any way overex-
banded or embarrassed; ON the contrary,
the line of speculative stocks in the
street we should regard as moderate. and
conservative.

NEW CEN TER OF POPULATION

According to the census experts the
center of population OF the United
States now rests at point seven miles
southeast Of Columbus. Ind. which IS
southeast Of Indianapolis In the last
ten years the center has moved west
ward fourteen miles and southward
three miles For 10 years it has moved
steadily westward. always keeping near
the thirty-ninth parallel. and zigzag-
ging slightly ncrthward or southwark
The last westward step IS the shortest
1t has ever taken In 1880 the advance
was forty-eight miles. and in 1880 it
was hfty-eight miles. The largest move
ment was recorded IN 1860. when the
center Of population moved eighty-one
miles westward owing to the heavy inn
migration into California and the KAN
sas-Nebraska region.
The Chicago Tribune gives the fol-
lowing explanation Of the method Of
reckoning the center OF population:
1T is necessary to understand fully
the census bureaus method Of locating
the center of population In order to get
a clear idea Of what the term means.
1t does not mean that there are as many
people living west Of a north and south
line drawn through this point as east of
it. or that there are exactly as many
people north OF 1t as south Of It. To
speak accurately. it IS not the center Of
population, but the center Of gravity Of
the population. The whole United
States is regarded as a plane on which
the people are standing. and then the
point is sought where the plane could
be balanced, supposing every inhabi-
tant to weigh the same. This makes
resident of Seattle count for great deal
more than a citizen Of Chicago, because
Of the element Of distance, which gives
the Pacific coast resident the advantage
of a longer lever. The census officials
estimate that twelve people in San
Francisco eounterbalancs forty in
Boston. BY this it win be seen that
the absolute center of population ae-
cording to numbers would be farther
east ana considerably farther north
than southeastern Indiana"

SHERIFF COOK TIPS.
Goes to Kansas City to Find How to
Close Joints

Sheriff Cook, Of Shawnee county,
Kansas, was in Kansas City yesterday,
and took Sam Bayless, an escaped
prisoner, home with him Bayless was
a. trusty in the Shawnee county Jail, and
took French leave a. week ago.
Sheriff Cook was closeted an hour
with Chief Mcfarland discussing the
best means Of enforcing the state laws
on the suppression of saloons.-Kansas
City Times.
The above notice. which appeared in
the Kansas City, kas., column of the
Kansas City Times. is enough OF a joke
to appear in some OF the comic papers
Why should Sheriff Cook go to Chief
Mcfarland for information as to the
best method to pursue in closing the
joints2 What does Mcfarland know
about it? In Kansas City there are So
joints running wide open and paying
from $50 to $50 a month license There
fore Mcfarland is poor authority. If
Sheriff Cook would consult City Marshal
DEMO, of Ottawa, he could find out the
receipt for a dry town. but Kansas City,
Wichita, Atchison or Leavenworth are
poor towns for such information.
