NOTES ON THE
STOCK MARKET
Status of the Trade Given By
the Drover..-Stock-
man

The cattle market was indifferently
supplied and nominally unchanged.
Hogs sold a shade higher than yester-
day, from 1925 to s7.35. The sheep
market was steady.
The week closed with the usual in
significant supply, not enough stock of
any class being on sale to test the
market. Receipts for the week, how
ever, 21,161 head, were the heaviest of
the year, being 1900 larger than last
week and some 5,400 heavier than for
the corresponding week last year, and
beef steers of fair to good quality have
constituted the big bulk of the offer
ings all week.
BEEF STEERS-During the first
half of the week the heavy shipment
had a depressing influence on the mar
ket. Weather conditions were also
unfavorable and there were bad re-
ports from other points, while local
packers were all more or less indiffer-
ent buyers. BY Thursday, prices had
gone off fully Is a % cents and bust
ness on that day was about as dull
and dragging as it has been any time
this season. With a sharp let-up in
receipts on Friday, there was a fair
reaction and closing prices are not
over 10@15c lower than a week ago.
Good light and handy weight beeves
have met with the most favor from all
classes of buyers. They suffered the
least decline, and were the first to re-
cover from the slump of the first of
the week. Rough, heavy and unfinished
cattle have been more or less indif-
ferent sellers at Uneven prices all week
and there has been considerable COM
plant on the part of buyers that the
cattle were killing out very unsatisfac-
torily. Dressed beef men say the beef
market in the east has beer in bad
shape, but there has been a fair local
demand right along. Excessive sup
plies have naturally brought about
lower prices and the market would I'M
doubtedly have gene still lower had
it not been for the exceptionally high
prices prevailing for pork and mutton.
Good to choice 1850 to 155O-tb beeves
are quoted at $4.75@5.35; fair to good
1850 to 1400-fb beeves sell at S4.35 @
40; and the common to fair short
FED and warmed-up grades around 81
04.30 and from that down, most of the
offerings of this kind going to the
packers on account of the restricted
demand for fleshy cattle from feeders

1t is indeed deplcrable to see an artist

PRINCE HAS BILL TO KEEP
MONEY IN CIRCULATION

Representative G. w. Prince, who
represented the local constituency in
the lower house when Rock Island was
part Of the Tenth district, has evolv-
cd an entirely new scheme for securing
to the governmnt some returns for
its surplus, without at the same time
taking the money out of circulation.
He expects to introduce soon a bill
which is almost certain to provoke
general comment, and which may be
enacted in whole or in part as an
ingenious system for lettering the
present financial conditions.
Mr.. Prince has conceived the idea
that if these state and municipal
bonds are sufficient security for loans
TO national banks, they would be a
good interest paying investment for
the government itself. He therefore
suggests that the government pro-
coed To buy up guilt-edge state and
municipal bonds to the extent of $780,
100000 or SO. receiving the interest
on the purchase instead of allowing
the interest to go to the national
banks.
Mr.. Prince now stands next to the
chairman on the house committee on
banking and currency. In his bill ii is
provided that whenever the surplus in
the treasury justifies such course
the secretary of the treasury shall
purchase state and municipal bonds.
thus investing the surplus in securi-
ties of the commemorative which
comprise the union and which of
course contributed to the cash bal
ance it is proposed to distribute.
That there may be no sudden effect
on the money market, and that the
secretary of the treasury may not
have too much power, it is provided
that the purchases of local securities
shall not amount to more than So
100000 monthly, and that the total
governments funds thus invested shall
not be over 500, 100000.

THE WRONG PLACE.

Editor Jones of the Baton
Rouge Advocate finds something
radically wrong with our agri.
cultural affairs.
He SAYS: eve may talk about
| scientific farming and diversified
crops; we may teach agriculture
and scatter fertilizers all over the
State, but until the Louisiana
farmer has his smoke house and
crib on his own plantation Lou
isiana farming is doomed to fail
ure. If the smoke house and
corn crib remain located in the
west, the title to the farm is most
likely to be in name of "John
Smith & Company, commission
merchants and furnishers of sup
plies"
Fright here to-day, every furn-
Usher Of supplies and wholesale
grocery house in this city is re-
ceiving car loads upon car loads
of corn, meat and hay for use of
our farmers.
CA single, new small store sold
three hundred sacks of western
corn in q single day in the early
part of the week and could have
sold as much more if he had been
fortunate enough to have it on
hand. What we don't know
about farming would fill an ag-
ricultural library, but there are
some patent business facts that
even a newspaper man, though q
fool, can see and appreciate.
Corn will sell in the local market
along. ABOUT the close of the year
at fronf.4O tN60 cents q barrel,
and a few months later, local
farmers will pay freight from the
west and double the price of the
same article,

and sugar may go into the trust.
but mules and men will require
meal and meat as sure as fate, and
yet cotton and sugar will be raised
in. abundance while meal, meat
and hay will be supplied by Yam
kee farmers. It seems strange,
but it is none the less true, that
all will admit the truth of the
foregoing argument while few, if
any, will profit BY it.
