KANSAS CITY MARKETS
Review of Receipts and Prices for the
 Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 30.-Cattle receipts at Kansas City last week were 52,1S2 head, 1000 more than previous week.. but 10000 less than the same week last year. Fewer corn fed cat tie were here than during any week this year, and prices on them advanced 90 to 8 cents. Grass cattle also gained though not so much. Best natives brought s5.40, and fed westerns sold from $4.50 to $4.95. Western COWS and heifers sold from $2.20 to- $2.95, and sold easier than previous week. Stock and feeding cattle advanced daily up to Thursday, but exhibited weakness on Friday. The movement to the country amounted to $50 cars, and would have been still larger had the supply of cattle of the right kind been larger. A shipment of COWS and stockers and feeders came in Thurs day from Soda Springs, having been forwarded from Denver. They sold sat isfactorily at S3.65 to S4OO for stockers and feeders, and $2.75 to $295 for the COWS. Commission men holding orders for feeders clai mthey have been un- able to fin them on account of scar city. The run yesterday was 12,000 head, and the market was steady to strong, indicating a satisfactory week ahead. Lighter receipts at other markets contributed to the strength here yesterday.
 Sheep receipts have been light for past week at 14,93S head. Eastern markets are weak, but mutton prices here remained about steady. Lambs have fiuctuated some and closed the week a trifle lower for killing grades. Western muttons bring s3.30 to s3.5O and lambs up to $500. though one bunch sold last week at S5.25. Feeder buyers have been active. or were will ing to be, but restricted supply have kept down their operations. They paid s3.25 for feeders, even with a good stiff end of ewes and bid feeding lambs up to $4.GO. Favorable crop weather continues.

THINGS NEEDED
By the Manufacturers of
 the United States
The Imporsations of Materials for the Last Fiscal Year Amounted to a Half Billion of Dollars.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The manufac- = turers of the United States imported nearly 800 million dollars worth of ma terials for use in manufacturing in the fiscal year just ended Materials for use in manufacturing thus formed nearly one-half Of the total imports nt the United States last year. The total value of manufacturers materials inn ported in the fiscal year 1903 was $4S9 i11,667, and this formed 47.73 per cent of the total imports. In the pre- ceding year the total value of the manutacturers' materials imported was il5 million dollars, and formed 46.14 ps cent of the total. In 1898 the total inn pcrtaticn of manufacturers materials was 247 million dollars. and forme1 42.07 per cent of the total.
 Going back to earlier dates, it may be said that manufacturers material imported aggregated in value, in 1880 9 million dollars: in 1850, AS millions: in 1860. 93 millions; in 1870, 120 millions 1880, 233 millions; 1890, 233 millions; in 1900, 3S0 millions, and in 1903. as already indicated, 490 millions. In 1880 manu- facturer's materials formed only 15 per cent of the total imports; in 1850. 2S per cent; in 1860, 26 per cent; in 1870, 2S per cent; in 1890. 34 per cent; in 1900, 45 Der cent; and in 1903, as already in dicated, nearly 4S per cent of the total imports.
 The increase in the importation of manufacturers materials in the last yeal was very large. In raw materials the increase was practically 50 million dollars; the figures for 1902 being 321 million dollars, and those for 1903, 315 millions. In partially manufacture. i materials for use in manufacturing the increase was 23 million dollars, the fig ures for 1902 being 91 millions, anc; those for 1905. IA millions. In raw ma terials. in which the increase was near ly 5O millions, the principal increases were raw silk, about millions; india rubber, millions: wool } millions chemicals. nearly millions: fibers, 3 millions; tin, 1 millions, and copper, ever millions. In the partially manu- factured materials, iron and steel was the principal factor of increase. Th@ total importations of iron and steel in the last fiscal year were the largest in many years, aggregating over 51 million dollars in value, as against 2 millions in the preceding year; and . very large proportion of the iron and steel imports was material fer use in manufacturing. Pig iron increased from millions to over Is millions scrap iron, from three-quarters of a million dollars to over } millions; bar iron increased nearly million dollars and inEots. blooms, slabs. bilets and bars of steel from three and d half to nearly 10 millions.
 The following table shows the total value of manufacturers materials im- ported at each decennial year from 1920 to 1900 and in 1903, and illustrates in some degree the increased use by the manufacturers of the United States of materials produced in other parts of the world.

Charges Are Made Against A. F. L
 Financial Secretary in Vermont

Burlington. Vt, Aug. 3O-There is financial trouble in Federal union Of Burlington, No. 10.279. and before tho accounts of c. E. Jones, the financial secretary, are strengthened cut the matter may be carried into the courts for final adjustment.
 As collector of all dues over $3.0OO has passed through his hands and the treasurer of the federal union says thet $2,000 is all that has been turned over to him. A demand made upon MT. Jones by the officers of the union for the production of his books resulted in a statement by him that they had been lost or stolen. This of course made it difficult for the financial status of the union to be arrived at but d slow and careful eXamina tion of the individual books of the members is resulting in the revealing of the alleged shortage. It is claimed that trouble resulting from the charges has caused a split in the union ranks.

The appearance in the parade today
of the great Chinese dragon, brought
from San Francisco especially for the
regatta, recalls pretty story that the
Chinese tell their children o. nights
when the tallow dip is low. 1t is about
the great dragon and how he came over
from the land where the sun sinks be-
yond the broad ocean.
They tell that the dragon swan across
He was an ugly monster when he start
ed; gray and Shiny and fierce. He plow
ed through the tropic water and caught
oh. such colors! His huge eyes looked
into the rising sun, b'ood red through
the mist of the eastern seas and the
sunrise dyed his terrible orbs. He dash
ed the emerald drops with his mighty
head and lashed the milk-white foam
with his fins; they fell like jewels on
him.
He plowed over purple sea under
the canopy of volcanoes smoke and
the reAection of those gorgeous oolors
became permanent. He plunged into
the night and then the radiant moon
shimmered her silver glory over the
monster
