Supply Was Liberal For satur-
day and Trade Fairly Ac-
tive at the Decline
SUPPLIES LESS THAN A YEARAeo
Cattle Receipts Were Small and Prices
Remained Unchanged From Fridays
Quotations-Not Much Change in
Prices During the week-sheep
Trade Fairly Good.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Hogs-With a
liberal supply today prices were lower,
trade being fairly active at an average
decline of 5@10 cents. There has been
a steady and rapid increase in receipts
for several weeks. but supplies continue
smaller than last year and much less
than two years ago.
Sheep-Trade was fairly good today
on the basis of recent prices. Sheep
have sold considerably higher for best
lots. while best lambs sold rs cents
lower than last week.
Cattle-The receipts of 500 were suf-
ficient for Saturday and sales We're
made at unchanged prices. This week $
offerings sold better than usual altho
prices are not much different from
those of a week ago.
The weeks receipts: Cattle, 1890;
hogs, 1ss,4oo; sheep 126.s0o.
Last week: Cattle. $500; hogs,
144,6oo; sheep, $4,000.
Cattle receipts We're fairly heavy
Friday, supply of 1000 head arriv-
ing. against only 2.1s6 week ago. 2,s21
year ago and $3.50 two years ago.
The supply for the week to Saturday
totals 1916. against 56,679 week ago,
62,706 year ago and 62,997 two years
ago. Considering the heavy volume Of
offerings this week trade has been in
very good shape, and had not last
Mondays receipts been excessive a
higher range compared with one week
ago would likely rule now: but sucn
heavy runs at the start of the week
tend to cripple trade, in many cases
all thru the week, buyers filling all
urgent orders as we'll as buying many
steers for which they have no Inn
mediate outlet and taking them mere
" because they can be obtained at Ii
big reduction, thus leaving no surplus
orders for execution during the re-
naming days and forcing statesmen to
rely on fresh demand. Sellers are
of steers, and We're offerings held
down to moderate volume at the start
trade would undoubtedly fare better
all thru. Next week will be a holt
day period, all traders suspending OPP
erations on Thanksgiving day to pay
homage to the turkey. and in fact more
or less attention Will be paid to that
individual and his near kinsmen, ducks
and chickens, for some time to come,
and less beef will likely be needed, tho
the supply of poultry Is comparatively
small this year and prices high. A.
very moderate number of cattle are
needed for the trade next week,
holiday in the middle of the week be-
ing liable to upset demand from all
sources. and particularly on export
and shipping account. and shippers
should operate moderately for the ben
eft of the trade, as big run will like
" meet poor outlet.

Thanksgiving Day For orsan'za-

Special to Times Republican.
Des Mones, Nov. 21.-Letters have
been sent out to every rural mail car
rier in Iowa urging that the coming
Thanksgiving holiday be used to per-
feet county organizations OF rural
carriers.
The letter reads:
Brother Carrier: The regular meet

Moines, Iowa, January 1st. 1904. The
meeting Will be called to order prompt

association meeting on the above date.
To be sure, all carriers will be welcome

FINE THING FOR VARSITY.
Gift Of the TerriII Dam Opens Up
Pleasing Possibilities.

Pleasing Possibilities.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Nov. 21.-When Mr.. and
Mrs. Euclid Sanders made the State
University of Iowa present OF the
Terrill dam with its water power this
past summer they hardy expected TO
be able to awaken the people OF lows
City and the university folk to a reali-
zation of the fact that Tor slight cost
there could be made for the University
OF Iowa and Iowa City one OF the mos.
beautiful OF water fronts. besides max
ing. within three blocks walk, an ex-
cellent water course for boating. swim Z.
ming and other water sports. With a
new dam erected along the front of the
present Athletic Park not only would
these things be possible, but the power
resulting from this dam would be at
the university's door for use by the en-
gineers for running the lighting plant
OF the institution by night and for all
sorts OF experimental work during the
daytime. With the river front thus i'm
proved the west side OF the river would
be an excellent place for the location OF
beautiful parks and drives.
With view to ascertaining the fea-
slbility of these plans Professor Alfred
v. Sims, head of the department of civ
II engineering, has had members OF the
senior class at work for the past week
surveying along the Iowa river from
Coralville to point below the Athletic
Park in order to determine the topog-
raphy of the river banks and the slope
OF the river. Soundings of the river
bottom are also to be taken to ascer-
tain II the river bottom is OF such
nature at the foot Of the university's
territory to warrant the building OF
dam at this place.
The Commercial Club of Iowa City
thru committee OF its members wish
es to cooperate with the university in
this matter and are now laying plans
for carrying thru such movement
either thru the city or by subscriptions
from the citizens. Professor Sims will
prepare estimates of the probable cost
of such a dam and will be able to re-
port upon the proposition in the near
future. The cost has been estimated by
outsiders at figures ranging from ST.,
500 to $4,000

A Remarkable Case.

One OF the most remarkable cases OF
a cold, deep-seated on the lungs. caus-
ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude
+. Fenner, of Marion, Ind. who was
entirely cured by the use OF One MIN
ME Cough Cure She says: The
caughing and straining so weakened
me that / ran down in weight from
las to ninety-two pounds. I tried a
number of remedies to no avail until
used One Minute Cough Cure. Four
hotties of this wonderful remedy cured

stockers and Feeders.

Late trade in stockers and feeders
Friday was of very weak nature, and
a supply estimated by many dealers at
1000 to 5000 head was carried over,
with little prospects of selling before
next week. One dealer has on hand
nearly 1900 head. and out of that vast
number was reported to have sold but
few loads yesterday, there being prac-
tically no outside demand for them.
Many quoted prices 2o940 cents lower
than the high point of the week, and
some bids received were even lower
than those figures, thus giving trade
the worse tone noted here in many
days.

Horse Market.

General receipts for the week will

being augmented by consignments to

general market has ruled quiet with
tendency 10 lower values. and many
sales have been closed unevenly lower.
The proximity of the international
Livestock Exposition will intervene
with the receipts next week. and the
market is expected to continue quiet.
Many sales have been closed at fully
as satisfactory prices as prevailed IL
week ago, but in the absence of an
aggressive demand shippers in some
instances shaded prices to close out
their consignments. General trade is
slow and uneven at the following
prices:

Some British Eawmakins.

It may surprise some folks to learn
that plenty of British laws have been
drawn up SO carelessly and written in
such muddled language that they are
quite useless for their intended pur-
pose.
One of the acts passed in George
ILLS reign, for instance, states that
the proceeds of penalties were to be
given half to the informer and half to
the poor Of the parish. The absurdity
lies in the fact that the only penalty
which could be inflicted was one of
transportation for fourteen years.
In 1865 well known O. G. created
lot of amusement by proposing an
amendment worded as follows: every
dog found trespassing on inclosed land
unaccompanied by the registered own
er of such dog or other person, who
shall on being asked for his true name
and address may be then and there de-
stroyed by such occupier or by his or
ders. This gem of meaninglessness
was, however, not passed. London

Is growing safely on his back.
He never has to fret his soul
With guessing at the price of coal.
But I. biped featheriess.
Must labor with these problems dire.
And struggle 'gainst the weather's stress
While others peacefully retire.
Oh. were 1t not a fate more fair
To be q squirrel or bear?
