HOgs-Receipts, 1000: shipments. 1850.
There is a good increase to report in the
marketing of hogs. the total this week be-
ing about $500 larger than last week, only
a little smaller than the same week year
ago and almost 5000 larger than the CORE
spending week two years ago. Thus far
this year the receipts are nearly 1900
smaller than the same period last year.
For the week ending yesterday local pack
ers bought total of 26.71S against - III
the preceding week and &57 the same
week a year ago. During the same period
the shipments were only S4ll, against 3,271
the preceding week and 6.06S the corre-
spending week a year ago. On account OF
the increase in supplies with no improve
inent in the demand from outside sources,
there was naturally a lower movement in
values this week, and IL has been impossi-
bic TO maintain prices in their usual rela-
tive position with other markets. Packers
had 10 be depended upon to make the mar
ket. and considering the very limited OPP
position they had IL must be acknowledged
that they We're reasonable buyers. one
house alone bought an average of nearly
4,JuO per day, or nearly 1000 more than the
total shipments for the week On account
of the scarcity Of prime heavy hogs. such
as usually sell at extreme prices. there
were not may sales at top figures. and this
OF course. made the average look lower
than IL would ordinarily. There was a
fiat break OF l0c at the beginning of the
week, after which the market was steady
but on Wednesday there was a further de-
cline OF l0ul5c. on Thursday the market
was strong. on Friday there was a further
reduction OF Zoe. and at the extreme close
OF the week, with a rally OF 5Hl0c I'm prices.
the average was l0Ql5c lower than the be-
ginning OF the week. The highest price
paid during the week was S7.55, both at the
beginning and at the close. The receipts
to-day were nearly 500 smaller than a week
ago, and nearly 1000 smaller than a year
ago The market opened with no percepti-
bic Improvement In the demand from out
side sources. but packers We're inclined TO
be a little more liberal in their views and
with quite a falling of in the receipts sales
men succeeded IN regaining 5010c of the
loss sustained IN prices earlier IN the week
Notwithstanding there was little opDosi-
ton between buyers the trading was rea-
sonably' active. and the supply was ex-
hausted In good season al current prices
Sales ranged from S6.65Q7.35 and We're

more than the same week a year ago and
the corresponding week two years ago.
Thus far this year the receipts are about
1000 larger than the same period last year.
The supplies have been just about large
enough to meet the demands from both
local and outside sources, and fat stock
sold rather promptly throughout the week
and there was very little or no fluctuation
in prices. At times the market showed a
little more strength, but not enough that
quotations could be advanced. The demand
for ordinary sheep and lambs was small all
week. Consequently II was more or less
difficult to transfer the consignments and
prices were more irregular. but probably
not quite as high as they were at the close
Of last week. Extreme prices this week
were $3.50 for lambs and s. for sheep. About
the usual number arrived for the market
to-day, and. as there were not enough TO
invite competition from all buyers, the trad
ing was little quiet. but quotably steady
prices were secured compared with those
current for equal kinds yesterday. Quota

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPO-
LIS. June 7.-Cattle-Receipts. ECO; ship
ments fair. There has been liberal supply
OF cattle here this week, the total indicating
an increase OF fully LOO over last week,
about 200 over the same week a year ago
and 34OO over the corresponding week two
years ago. Thus far this year the receipts
are 1850 larger than the same period last
year. There has been very satisfactory
market for the choice corn-fed cattle at a
good advance in prices over the average at
the close OF last week, and some sales this
week were the highest recorded in this
market in twenty years. The supplies of
cattle that were up to the standard in quail
ity and flesh were small, and offerings sold
promptly at current prices. II Is probably
safe to say that the strictly choice stock
advanced at least 25c per 100 lbs. Butcher
cattle of medium quality did not show as
much strength as the better grades, but at
the close Of the week were selling mOre
satisfactory than at the close of last week.
There was continued discrimination
against half finished and grass-fed cattle,
and prices were very irregular, but the
average was the lowest il has been thus
far this season. The request for hesny
feeders OF good quality was equal TO the
supply and steady prices prevailed, but
common stockerS were neglected all the
week and, If possible, were lower than they
have been recently. The extreme sales this
week were $3.50 for steers. $6.25 for heifers,
$3.50 for cows, $3.50 for bulls and 81 for
calves The receipts to-day were little
larger than the average at this time In the
week, and on account OF the trade having
been we'll supplied yesterday there was
little or no competition and the market was
quiet at about steady prices compared with
yesterday. 1t was observed. however. that
strictly good cattle found an outlet at cur
rent prices. Quotations;

SIMPLY AN OUTRAGE.

The tax payers and others are be-
ginning to see plainly the incompe-
tency of Democratic rule in Paducah.
They have been warned against it
time and again, but did not heed the
advice. They arc today bgoaeht face
to face with the fact that over $780,
900 has been collected and spent in
Paducah since last June, with practi-
cally nothing to show for il. Farther
more. they are told by the council
manic board that sl62, 900 is needed to
ron the city government for 1909,
completely ignoring the fact that tax
has already been levied and collected
for six months of that time. II this
amount OF money is levied now. it
will mean over $3.50, 900 spent in Pa
ducsh in running our city govern
ment, such as it is, for year and a
half. The tax rate, as is shown
elsewhere, is to be sl.S5, something
outrageous as we'll as unprecedented.
Figures are produced elsewhere to
show that the idea is preposterous,
and that the outrage ought not to DO
tolerated. Money has been literally
wasted for the past several years by
Democratic administrations. There is
nothing to show for it. There is no
money in the treasury. II is under
stood the city has had to borrow s40,.
900 since Mayor Yeiser went into
office. The sinking frnd has gone,
the money appropriated to pay of
court judgments ana the defEulted in
terest on bonds has been spent, snd
we are told that slG2. Don more will
be needed to run the city during the
next six months!
For months past the people have
had the "bogy man" corporate inter

, gang that is now in power and hope

There is q law which SAYS that the
salayy OF no officer shall be changed
during the term for which i'o was
electsi. The city treasurer IL an
offer elected by the common corncil
for two years. and the present city
treasurer was chosen last December
for two. years, after his salary had seen
fixed at 81 a year This salary mast
remain the same during the term for
which BE- was elected, two years.
The law is not construed TO mean
that the salary must remain the same
only during the time some particular
person holds it, which might be one
month Or one year, and changed to
suit everybody who might hold it rs
result of death or resignation. Yet
the city council has arbitrarily chang
ed the compensation of the city treas
urer from. 81 year to something chat
will probably amount to 81, 500 year.
1t is clear, in the minds Of many at
torneys, that the law has been violnt-
ed by our law makers. The Same ap-
plies to the salary of city counc4men.
The law says tnst the compensation CT
no ofiicesshall be changed during his
term OF Office. Last November the
present city council took its scat.
The salary Of councilman was under
the charter under which tbey were
elected % for each regular meeting,
and must remain that for two years,
their term of office. Under the pres
ent charter it is So for every meeting,
regular and called, The members OF
the council are DOW trying to collect
80 for called meetings, vast increase
in their compen sation, which it is ar
gued cannot he made under the law
during their term Of Office.
