lambs was never more contagious in
the corn belt than it has been this fall.
The demand Is strong from all direc-
lions and while something like 100000
head have been shipped out from Chi
cago for that purpose for the past five
months the demand was by no means
satisfied. The output was not as large
as last year because buyers were not
able to get the material. 1t is conser-
vatively estimated that 100000 sheep
and lambs could have been disposed of
during the past five months If there
had been that many here to sell. Men
who bought sheep for feeding purposes
last year are back here this year af-
ter more Of themg proving that their
experience was not failure. This
business has it's ups and downs but the
conservative feeder usually comes out
in pretty good shape if he understands
feeders around the st. Paul district are
holding off and will not put in any
sheep until late If at all. This is be-
cause the price Of feed is high and
they feel that there would be nothing in
it If they bought screenings at the
present figures. The fact that there
will be light feeding at the big feeding
centers during the coming winter will
help out the little fellows on the farms.
The best Informed sheep men are of
the opinion that not enough sheep and
lambs will be fed to cause an oversup-
ply on the market later on.

Feeders Are WAITING.

Corn belt feeders are evidently play
ing waiting game this year. Incen-
tives to this policy have not been lack
ing. One of them was the fool work
of the corn bull statistician or more
correctly speaking, crop forecaster. He
succeeded in frightening the feeder so
thoroughly as to inspire him to a de-
gree Of mastery inactivity that has
fairly paralyzed trade in thin cattle.
The present is, however, a decidedly
abnormal condition, and there are
thousands of feeders in the corn belt
who. within the next six weeks, will
shake off their legarthy and proceed to
fill their feed lots
Present prospects are decidedly OPP
timistic from the beef makers output.
His raw material is cheap and the
ma rpin between thin and finished cat
tie satisfactory.
There is no large visible supply of
beef In sight and the outlook of the
fesher Is better than at any time in
two years past. With so many in dis
eusted mood and "down and out" for
the present at least, the man with suf-
f1ctent courage to go ahead and fill up
his feed lot will make no mistake by
so doing.

E. II. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Nov. Z. - Wheat has been
very dull nearly all day. There was
quite a little rush of business at the
start when number of local traders
attempted to buy wheat on lower pric-
es caused by the bearish news that
prevailed 1t was found that Offer
ings were dried UP quickly. Th1s
caused a rise Of Nc from the early low
roint and a half from Saturdays clos
ing before offerings became at all ade-
quate. Then some of the early buy
ers turned sellers and a fair quantity
Of commission house wheat was sold
or, resting orders. Prices reacted to
little above Saturdays close and have
held little above them most all day.
The worlds shipments were enormous
and vastly exceeded the estimates
Primary market receipts also furnish
ed a surprise by running ahead of last
wears large totals. The weather Is
too dry in the southwest and the hes
sian fly was reported as doing more
damage in Nebraska. Cash wheat was
slow and weak here, no demand in the
northwest while st. Louis told Of inn
proved demand and good sales. Sat
urday's reported sales at Kansas City
were classed as fake.
Corn-Corn has been extremely dull
and professional The tone was firm
and offerings moderate. There has
been a continuation of Saturdays
changing Of December holdings to May,
the difference narrowing to 2Ac. The
country continues to consign the new
corn rather than accept the May basis
of prices sent out. There We're cash

Falling Off In Supplies To-
day Accounted For by Last
Weeks Drop In Price
HIGHER PRICES FOR GOOD LOTS
Such Cattle Were Very Scarce, Not
Enough to go Around-cows and
Heifers in Good Demand-stockers
and Feeders Fair-Hoss About $
Cents Lower on an Average.

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Cattle-The large
falling Off in receipts is accounted for
by the fact that buyers forced a Dig
drop in prices last Friday. There was
strong feeling today, and prices Tor
very desirable lots were on an average
of 10 higher. Such cattle were very
scarce and there were not enough to
go around. The poorer grades were
about steady with fair demand. Cows
and heifers were very good demand ana
stockers and feeders in usual fair re-
quest.
Last week was one of the most errat-
ic weeks noted in trade for a consider
able time, buyers virtually falling over
one another on Wednesday and Thurs
day in their eagerness to fill orders for
good to choice steers while Saturday
the comparatively small number OF
these kinds on sale were In very poor
request, and a clearance was enected
only after wide concessions In prices
had been granted. Such extremely
sharp fluctuations as have marked the
trade In the past few days do great
harm to country dealers, one days

tons, when oftentimes cattle In the
feed lots are placed far beyond their
value and when a break In the market
comes heavy losses result. Feeders.
too receive just as hard jolts, in such
quick ups and downs Of trade. and
more steady level of prices would prove
better unless the advance happened to
be permanent, which in the past few
weeks has not been true.

ell and Pierre in blank, distributing
them to the right and to the light.
And so it is that when the morning
or election day dawns. 100000 people
Will have been given free rides to
Mitchell and 10000 to Pierre. BY that
time 400 papers which have been paid
money to publish advertising for one
or the other or both of the aspirants
will have completed their labors. BY
that time 1000 paid workers and about
5000 volunteers will have concluded a
personal canvass of the IL 900 voters Of
the state.
And $2,495,000 of cash and transport
alton privileges will have been expend-
ed and two years of oeaseless, frantic
effort by the citizens of the two towns
will have come to a welcome end.
The state Of South Dakota has been
racked by this campaign, more bitter
and determined than any political
fight upon state or national issues, be-
cause the result of this election is ex-
pected to designate the metropolis Of
South Dakota. If the state had been
developed, it would be different; but it
it is in the formative period, and 1t Is
the general opinion that the permanent
location of the state capitol just at
this moment will have much to do with
determining the destinies Of the two
towns which aspire to become the
largest in South Dakota. The people
Of the two towns point to the building
of Des Moines, Indianapolis and Lin
coin as samples of the results which
may be ascribed purely to capitol To-
cation. So when this fight is over, the
victorious place will repose in conf
dence of approaching greatness.
Large Sums Spent.
The amount of money spent by
Pierre in her effort to keep the capitol
and by Mitchell In her effort to secure
it is quite easily ascertained. Mitchell
being larger, that town has put UP
most of the cash spent in her interest.
The Mitchell people subscribed total
of 100000; while the Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad has contributed about
$4,000, most of which has been devoted
to the Black Hills county, where
the Northwestern railroad is strong.
At Pierre conditions are different. The
town is not large and the $4,000 given
by the people there is as much as
could be expected. The Northwestern
railroad has valiantly entered the lists
In Pierres behalf, however. Fully
$4,000 in money IL said to have beef,
given by this road to be spent IN ade
vertising and meeting the numerous
expenses OF a campaign.

This conversation occurred in South
Dakota on a Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul railroad train bound for
Mitchell. The wearer of the badge sat
in the middle Of a seat, with man on
either side of him. On the arm Of the
seat sat another. The aisles were
packed as we'll. Outside, the space be-
tween the coaches was jamned and
men sat on the steps. the lowest dang
ling their feet a few inches from the

of men could be seen, lying fiat on
their backs or on their stomachs, on

nicely rounded out by two men who
sat on the cOwcatcher.
A Daily Spectacle.
And this spectacle Is not one days
occurrence, but nearly every day since
October trains have gone into Mitch
ell in this wise. Farther north, spec
ials and regulars have rolled into
Pierre with no more spare room. For
1T has been a big job hauling every
body in South Dakota to the two
towns.
This is all just one feature of the
$2,500,0O0 capital fight between Pierre
and Mitchell now nearing climax in

have transformed the last few weeks
into one long gala day for every South
Dakotan. To display the advantages
of the rival towns and incidentally to
reap the benefit of the subtle attraction
which pass has for THE average
citizen, the two railroads said, "Come
and take of passes freely" And sta
tion agents have been sent great piles
of tickets, void November 9, to press
upon townsmen, newspapers have
urged the people to accept the offer Of
free transportation, and hired workers
have gone about with tickets to Mitch
