Every kind Of cattle remained practically steady except the best corn steers, which gained 20 to 30 cents, and Stockers and feeders, which lost 15 to 20 cents. StockerS and feeders, however sold steady out of first hands, Specula- tors being strong buyers all week, they standing the loss, which country buy CTS forced them to take, in order to effect a clearance. It was a big week in stocker and feeder line, more than 600 cars going out to country feeders. Each week sees a bigger attendance of country buyers now than the preceding week had. Westerns sold about like previous week, fat stuff s4 to s4.75; cows, S2.25 to B; stockers and feeders, 8 to $3.15 for most sales, and veal calves up to $5.50. The run yesterday was good at 17,0OO head, but light runs at other markets encouraged buyers, and fat steers, COWS and quarantines are steady to strong, stockers and feed CTS steady and active, and grass beeves a little slow
 The improved sheep run was met by steady markets all last week. Lower markets at Chicago the first of the week did not affect Kansas City, as the supply wG;S net large enough to allow buyers to become independent.

 Referring to the declarations made by Chekib Fey, the Turkish minister at Washington, in an interview with him cr September ,, which has been cabled here, it is pointed out in Con- stantinople that the Porte would have obviatcd all the present disagreement between the United States and Turkey had it executed its engagement made last year and therfore the Ottoman government IS alone blama5lc for the present relations between the tNo countries.
 It is also declared that the charges made by Chekib Boy against the Amer ican missionaries of melting the Ar menians against the Mussulmans are untounded.

grievance against the college authcri- ties When MT. Lcishmau was in- formed Of the attempt he demanded that the porte protect the American in stitution. and in consequence Of his re- presentations instructions were sent to inc authorities at Karpoot to try in the regular courts the charges against fifty Armenians accused of traffickinG in arms and engaging in other scditious acts Among the accused is Professor Tenckedjian, of the American college whose treatment in prison pending his trial was also ordered to be improved.
 Mir. Leishman is pressing a definite settlement of number of matters on which agreements were reached with the Turkish authorities last year, but which, in spite of frequent promises on the part of the porte, have never been executed. For instance, naturalized American is still in prison at Tripoli, Syria. although the porte has frequent ly informed MT. Leishman that the au- thorities at Beirut, who have jurisdic- ton over Tripoli, had been ordered to liberate him.
 The American officials here attribute the dispatch of the warships to Turkish waters not solely to the Magelssen al fair. but to the general dissatisfaction of the authorities at Washington with the non fulfilmcnt of the porte's prom ises in regard to pending questions, and to the determination Of President Roosevelt tc show Turkey thlt she can not trifie with American rcpresent&- tions Diplomatic circles here generally approve of the energetic action of the United States, which. it is pointed out, is amply justified by the bad faith of Turkey. and it is felt here that the app peaIance of the United States warships in Turkish waters will lead to the inn mediate settlement of the pending dis putcs Nothing so impresses the porte as 9 naval demonstration, and the dip lomats believe that this will be special ly noticeable in the present case, as the amcricaEs arc net fcttered like other powers by agreements regulating the internationa! and political affairs ol Turkey.

Imports

S5O,OOO,OOO AND OVER
Brought Into This Country Last Year. The Extraordinary Growth of the Industry Within Generation.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The imports of
 were the largest in the history of the government. Statistics just compiled
 by the department of commerce and labor, through it's bureau of tatistics. show that for the fiscal year ending
 June 90. 1903, 15,271,24O pounds of un-
 manufactured silk, valued at $50, .S19,
 were imported, as compared with 14.2
 million pounds in 1902 and 1O.4 millions
 in 1901. From this silk our manufactur
 CTS will make finished product valued
 at over l25 million dollars.
 Of the 90 million dollars worth of
 unmanufactured silk imported, prac-
 tically >one-half comes from Janpan;
 the raw silk from that country in the
 fiscal year just ended being valued at
 24.6 millions Of dollars. Italy furnished nearly 13 millions the Chinese empire,
 So millions; France, 2.2 millions, and all other countries only a little over $3O0,000 worth of raw silk. Besides this, there was a little over a million dollars worth of silk waste imported. which is used principally in making "spun silk and is classed as unmar- ufactured silk in the statistics of inn ports.
 Many attempts have been made to produce raw silk in this country. AS early as 1923 mulberry trees were re- ', quired to be planted by all settlers i'll Virginia, and some silk was grown in the early days of the colony. InA> the second quarter of the last century the cultivation of silk seemed to give pron0S l ise of success, but the enterprise de-N
 generated into a speculation in Chinese ! mulberry trees, and ended in utter failure. The recent experiments of the | department of agriculture are again directing Sttenticn to the practicabiIity | of raising on our own farms a share at | least of this material, which forms so
 considerable a part Of our imports. | During recent years the importation of raw silk has increased almost con i tinuously, until in the fiscal year just closed it amounted to over 50 million
 dollars. The enearestapproach to this value was in 1900, when forty-five and ! onc- third millions of dollars worth
 was imported.

 of raw silk imported at five-year per ! iods from 1870 to 1900, and yearly to
