The Cattle Market.
Special to the Democratic Advocate.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, MONDAY, Dec. 10, 1904.
Shipments of stock and feeding cattle to the
try from this market last week were 400 cars about
the same during the same week last year. The
market for fat cattle last week duh and lower,
and this was against feeder prices but the demand
was sufficient To clean up about all that came II
steady prices. The bulk of sales of farm cat lie
at about the same figures as previous week s. 90 10
S40J, but there were fewer sales above 81 % than
formerly. The unsatisfactory beef steer market, ex
cept for the very best ones furnished incentive
to our country buyers bid against killers for the
partly finished steers, such taken a week
two ago at 500 to 40. Demand during the week
more TOR stock cattle TO rough through the
winter those who have feed, and who have lost
faith i'll future fat steer prices this winter d-
rected their attention more to stockers last week.
As to future fat cattle prices opinion is becoming
more conservative. 1t is believed that prices will
strengthen up after the first of the year, and will
rule conSderabl higher than last winter but there
fewer predictions of big Use than formerly
The ind of GERS that sell at SOD or above that
have not lost any caste. but the percentage of this
class of cattle produced is small compared with
the big mass of medium quality steers. Cattle feed
ing is II science that requires students attention
all TIE time, and the most important and essential
detail is to put the right kind of cattle in the feed
lot at the beginning, if it is desired to make them
market toppcrs. J. A. RICKART,

Shoemaker Road Law Valid ?

Judge Burke, of the Circuit Court for Bal
timore county, has decided that the Shoe
maker good roads law is constitutional. The
case will now go to the Court of Appeals.
Should that tribunal sustain the view of Judge
Burke there will be no use 10 submit the pro.
posed amendment to the Constitution on the
subject of State aid to roads to the people,
Judge Burke decided that the provision of
the Constitution against State aid to works of
public improvements referred only to rail
roads and canals. A public road is as much
an internal improvement as a railroad or a
canal, and the Shoemaker law conflicts with
section "a, Article 8, of the Consituton-or
will until the Court of Appeals decides.

Champagne Instead of Gore.

Col William c. Greene, of the Wooley
West and New York, whose gun could scarce
ly enumerate by notches the men he had
killed on the plains, and Thomas W. Lawson,

uouncing each other and talking of gore. They
met in Boston later in the week, where
Col. Green had gone. Greene is one of the
cooper kings" and Lawson had been pub
fishing articles on copper and other stocks that
kept the New York stock gamblers in panic
for a week. Lawson, with friend. called
on Col. Green, who had two friends with him,
and in closed room they spent the day in
conference. There was no gore spilled, but
a bottle may have been emptied of champagne.
