The run last week was the best since last
October. Prices continue downward,
net loss last week being rs to 80 cents.
Market is to 10 cents lower again to-
day, with topof $6.471a. Light mixed
hogs sold from $6.15 to 1925, heavy
mixed ranging up to $64O. These prices
are rs to IS cents under year ago.
Supplies of hogs at five principal markets
last week amounted to $4,000 head,
against 3OS, 900 head same week last
year
Texas muttons formed practically the
whole sheep supply last week. The
weeks trade was strong at the opening,
weak in the middle, and strong again at
the close. Not nearly enough lambs ar
rived last week on any day, except Mon
day, $3.50 wss reached for wooded Colo
radios. Moderate runs of spring lambs
and reports of small number of lambs
still on feed appearantly justify the very
bullish predictions on lamb prices for
the future. Run TO-DAY is heavy at
10000 head, mostly Texans, but market
was extremely active. Texans 10 cents
lower, lambs strong. Top Texans, $4.75;
lambs 81 20, clipped weathers $500,
ewes $4.75.
In the horse barns at Kansas City,
the clearance at the end of last week was
about as complete as it could be, and
there is every prospect tor good trade
the present week. The last part of the
week, an inquiry for railroad mules also
effectually cleaned up the mule barns.
Big mules are still wanted, and a small
government order for mules insures good
week in mules.

OUR MARKET LETTER.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 10, 1908.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 10, 1908.
Special to the AcITIAToR
Receipts of live stock at Kansas City
last week amounted to 26,954 cattle,
65, 1877 hogs, 35,312 sheep and 1,112
horses and mules. The same week last
year, the run was 2O.6O3 cattle, AZ, 124
hogs. 1850 sheep and 1904 horses
and mules.
Demand for beef cattle last week was
heavy, both from local killers and for
Eastern orders, but excessive supplies at
all the markets were the controlling
feature, and corn cattle of all kinds de-
clined 10 to Is cents. Stockers and
feeders show as much or more loss, and
she stuff sold lower. An analysis of the
stocker and feeder situation shows bet
ter demand for country kinds of cattle,
relative to the greater receipts, than at
this time last year. That is, the demand
good outlook tor the summer and fall
trade.
Best price for beef steers last week was
S. %, and top to-day, on run of 800.
Best heifers sold at 81 30 last week. and
highest stockers sold at $500 The gen.
eral market to-day is steady to 10 cents
lower from Friday. Stockers and feed
are strong cows and heiiers steady. A
very good class of beef steers are selling
from $4.65 to $4.S5. Stock calves sold
dull and lower last week, and stock
bulls steady.
Quality of hogs at Kansas City last
week was good all week, indicating a
good reserve in the country, and liberal
future supplies. Receipts are rapidly
gaining, and will soon be on a normal
basis again, or equal to two years ago,

A Buggy Free.

The AGITAToR proposes to
give away a fine RUBBER Tired
Runabout. Each subscriber will
receive a numbered receipt for
each years subscription-$1.oo.
This number will give the hold.
er an opportunity to become the
possessor of a handsome buggy.
This is no lottery scheme, but
simply a present. You get the
best paper in Anderson county
for the same price-$I.o 90. You
simply get the buggy besides.
All have an equal show. The
manufacturer of the buggy will
select some number, from I to
1000. seal it up in an envelope
and send it to a bank in Garrett,
and there it will remain until
1000 numbered receipts have
been issued. The holder of the
receipt corresponding with the
number in the sealed envelope
will get the buggy. There is
absolute fairness in this, for no.
body but the manufacturer will
know the number until 1000
receipts are issued, and then the
envelope will be opened by a
committee, who will award the
buggy to the proper person.

Mail Order Business.

Dispatches from Washington say the
postofiice department is :deluged with
protests from country merchants against
the rural free delivery of mail and a prac
tice of posting a list of rural route pat
rons in each postoffice. Government Of
ficials are not inclined to heed these pro
tests. The complaint made by the mer-
chants is that mail order houses get
copies of the list, and then work up a
trade along the rural routes by sending
out catalogues and other advertising
matter.
We suppose it has never occurred to
these country merchants that their home
newspapers circulate along the rural
routes, and that for very small outlay
in cash and little labor on their part
in listing and describing their own goods,
they, too, can work up a mail order bus
mess. The country merchants have all
the advantage, and if they are not will
ing to hustle for trade along the rural
routes, they ought not to have it. The
country people must not be deprived of
any convenience advancing civilization
can bring them. Without the farmer,
there would be no merchant, no factor.
les, no oil industry, no mining industry,
no railroads or any other industry. They
all depend upon the farmer. He is the
founder of all things and should be en-.
titled to the bert of all.
