AS an Illustration of what moderate
receipts of cattle will do for the trade.
Wednesdays market may be referred
to by country operators Though last
Mondays receipts were excessive, ana,
in fact, the half-week supply fairly
heavy, a comparatively light run gave
tone to the market and advanced prices
in many cases enough to wipe out the
big drop noted at the start of the week,
and this reacNon serves as proof OF
what statesmen have long claimed,
namely, that with a more moderate
supply for buyers to choose from, the
chances of better level OF prices
would be strengthened.
Colder weather will likely improve
the demand for heavy cuts of beef. and
thus give local packers an opportunity
to work off some of the big surplus Of
that class of meats they now claim
to have on hand and. though prospects
look fair for selling of heavy steers in
the near future, until beef channels are
better cleared than at present. sales
men say no very great encouragement
can be given, and good policy for
dealers to follow would be to use eau
ton in marketing, and particularly
thru the balance of this month and the
first part of next, when many obliga-
lions for which cattle in feed lots stand
as security fall due and will be paid,
causing a considerable amount Of ship
ping, which might be termed imper-
alive.
Feeders who are in a position to hold
cattle thru any period of lower prices,
and who have plenty of old corn to
feed. may do we'll to keep their cattle
at home, and especially commoner
grades. as during the first part of next
month there will likely be more strictly
good to choice steers on the market
than have been seen here In many
weeks, the demand for Christmas cat
tie then being in force. while sales of
Exposition stock will also occupy buy
ers' attention, to a great extent, thus
hurting outlet for commoner grades of
steers, as is usually the case at this
season of year.
The near close OF the western range
shipping season, however. will likely
Improve the demand for commoner
grades of native steers which have met
rather severe competition from range
steers during the past few months, ana
many traders look for better prices for
common medium and heavy weight
steers. which have sold 80 extremely

evening. Mrs. Hattie Allen, who rooms
with Mrs. Bennison, on the third floor
of 1923 Leavenworth street. drank an
ounce of carbolic acid with suicidal
intent. 1t was noticed at the supper
table that she only partook of cup
of tea, but nothing was thought OF
this until ten minutes later when Mrs.
Bennisons oldest son. Ray heard
groanings in the direction of Mrs.
Aliens room, and found the woman
writing under the tortures OF the acid.
Physicians We're summoned and altho
antidotes were promptly administered.

Big Steel Corporations Already
Have 100000 Tons of Steel
Rail Orders
CALL FOR DELIVERY NEXT YEAR
Export Orders of the United States
Steel Corporation Are Coming in at
the Rate of $1,000 Tons week-Lit-
tie credence Given Reports of Gates
Rivalry.

| New York, Nov. 20.-It comes from ;
| Trustworthy source that the export or
ders of the United States Steel Corpor
alton are coming in at the rate of To-,
600 tons a week The showing is mucl
better than the export department o
the United States Steel corporation
hoped for. While the margin of pro
| fit on foreign orders is not as wide a:
that on domestic business, shipment.
of steel abroad will enable the com
bine to keep it's mills running more
steadily and the result will be a mater
ial decrease in cost of production.
The profits resulting from the oper-
alton of a mill that is being operated
to its maximum capacity are muci
larger than the profits of mill ir
partial operation. Then again the ma
chinery of an idle mill depreciates ir
value more rapidly than a mill IN
steady operation. From the foregoing
the many benefits that the Steel cor
poration will derive from its export
business become apparent.
Foreign steel manufacturers are ems
deavorng in every way to retard the
movement of steel from this country
TO Europe and elsewhere, but SO far
the Steel combine has secured q very
large percentage OF the foreign con-
tracts upon which 1t has made bids.
Wall street manifested considerable
interest In the announcement that the
United States Steel corporation and
other rail concerns already had 100000
tons of steel rail orders, calling for de-
livery next year on their books. A stee,
manufacturer yesterday said that the
untitled business on the books Of the
various steel rail- concerns would ex-
coed sl,000,000 tons by the first OF next
year
Very little credence Is given to the
report that John w. Gates has acquired
large interest in the Republic Iron
and Steel company and is planning for
the erection of wire manufacturing
company in competition with the Am :
erican Steel and Wire company, a sub
sidiary concern Of the United States
Steel corporation. The Republic Iron
and Steel company is on very friendly
terms with the Steel combine, and Il is
unlikely that 1t would attempt to make
war upon Its big rival.
Manufacturers express the opinion
that in view Of the heavy falling off
in the demand for steel, this would be
a poor time to erect a new steel mill
To build wire mill that could be
called competitor of the Steel coz
poration would require at least two
years.
The ore deposits are now controlled
by a few concerns, the most prominent
being the Steel corporation, Lackawan-
ma Steel company, Cambria Steel com
pany, and Pennsylvania Steel company
An entirely new concern would have
to depend upon outside interests for
its ore supplies, as there are few ore
bodies in the great lakes district that
are for sale.

WASHING THE DISHES.

Our Polly goes a-fishing. be tse weather
what 1t may,
Not less than twice. and often thrice, on
every holiday;
She always starts right after meals. and
singing merrily.
She fishes and she fishes in her little Soapy
Sea.
She'll catch the best pink china cups, and
play that they are trout,
And when she drops her line again she'll
draw spoon-minnows out;
Tho plates. of course are founders $50
round and fiat. you know.
The kitchen knives are hungry sharks out
watching for a foe:
Each saucepan Is a pollywog, with handle
for a tail.
And-''There she blows,'-the frying pan!
how very like a whale,
There's nothing left-pour out the sea. and
put the fish away.
AL high and dry. and waiting 10 be caught
another day.
