BOYCOTT RAISED FROM YARDS
Restrictions Against Kansas city
Company Removed at Instance
of Packers.

KANSAS CITY, April 15.-The boycott
against the Kansas City Stock Yards com
pany begun last Friday by the Live Stock
exchange was raised this afternoon, both
sides agreeing to a compromise submitted
by the local packers The stock yards
company modified the Objectionable order
and the live stock commission men agreed
to the yard company's request that they
give clean clearance papers showing the
ownership of stock. The stock yards COM
pany had talked of seeking an Injunction
to force the withdrawal of the boycott.
The request OF the commission men to their
customers TO ship to other markets during
the dificulty caused no particular differ
,nce In the receipts at this market.
The boycott had no appreciable effect
oa the receipts here today, except
possibly in the case OF sheep. Today S
arrivals OF cattle amounted to 5000
head, against 6,40O last week, while the
receipts Of hogs were 1000. against 6.OOO
on last Tuesday But 500 sheep were re-
ceived today, compared with 4,2O0 week
ago. However, as the sheep generally are
variable, this may not indicate anything.
1t is said that the members of the stock
yards company are today considering the
question OF bringing Injunction proceed
ings against the commission men to force
them to call OFF the boycott

Some of the Features of the Local
Market-The Improvements

HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS

Some IF the tranSa actionS of the past
week both from their size and their sig
nificance. were rather notable features of
the real estate market and are likely not
TO be surpassed in Importance for some
time to come. The purchase of the north
west corner Of 14th and q streets, through
Moore & Hill, real estate brokers, in con-
n6ction with John L. Weaver, real estate
broker, following closely upon the pur-
chase of the opposite corner by Mr..
Walsh. serves to call attention to the
development of the business section OF
the city. The advance of the CONNER
cial interests Of Washington to the west
and north is afforded, by these and other
transactions, a striking illustration. 1t is
apparent that the demands upon the retail
business of the city is such that the terri
tory which has hitherto accommodated it
is expanding.
This tendency is one that is being care
fully watched by those interested in prop
erty transactions as we'll as by those who
are on the outlook for commercial oppor-
tunltieS. The advance of retail places to
the north and west is recognized as having
started some time ago. 1t is not considered
that this means an abandonment of the
sections READY occupied that the estab-
lishments already located will join in the
nOrthward movements.
Rather it is believed to be an expansion,
an adding on To existing business local
ity and an enlargement of the area of coRl-
mercial activity. 1t is recognized that the
growth Of the population Of the city and
the Improvement of the facilities of COM
munication. We'll the growing popu-
larity of this city as a place to visit, are
some Of the reasons why the business in
