Lambert in his decision says:
THE plaintiff failed to mako out 4

tons. The plaintiff relies principally on
his evidence Of conversations and
Interviews with the defendant at dif-
ferent times In the latter part Of 1909.
The defendant specifically denies these
conversations and Interview
Mr.. Whitney claimed q prior riTht
to Miss Glaser's services by an agree
ment made In 1901 by which she was 10
sling under his management for three
years. Paragraph ten Of this agree.
ment set forth that Mr.. Whitney could
have the singers services for two years
o II terms could be mutually agreed
upon.
Miss CHASER claims that no such mu-
tual agreement was reached and that
whitney was therefore no longer en-
Titled to her services.
Mr.. Whitney In his application de-
clared that Miss Glaser had made be-
tween $1,000 and 10000 In three years
under his management. The papers In
the case were served on Miss CHASER

Market Letter
Cattle Supply Moderate Prices
Higher Heavy Hog Receipts.

Special to the DAILY EXPRESS.
Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. IS 1904.
Of course, the American Royal
Live Stock Show is the main at
traction at the stock yards here
this week. The cattle supply is
moderate at all markets except
Chicago and prices generally en-
cour aging. The market this
week in the quarantine division is
steady to little higher than last
week. Cows sold yesterday 10 to
IS cents higher than Monday of
last week, but are weak to 10 cents
lower today. Steers sold a shade
lower than previous Monday, but
are strong today, so that the mar
ket generally is not far different
from Tuesday of last week, except
that veal calves are higher and
Gamers stronger. Some fed steers,
the first since last summer, were
here yesterday in the quarantine
division and sold at S4.471z, 1913
ponnds. Cows sold at the best
prices yesterday for several weeks,
s2.Is to Sa.65 for heavy COWS, and
the medium weight steers brought
s. go to S3.I7lz. Veal calves sold
at S 90 Friday, the high point of
the season. Gamers and bulls
bring $I.75 to SAILS, and it is
generally conceded that we have
passed the lowest point in general
cattle prices for this season.
Hog receipts at all the markets
are running heavier than for some
time, and above last years re-
ceipts, The price is going down
so tast that it's hard to keep up
with. Market is steady to 5 cents
lower today, or about so cents loss
for the last week. Top is S.. .271z,
bulks of sales S4.75 to $500.
Sheep market shows signs Of a
coming rise. Killing sheep and
lambs are 10 to 20 cents higher
this week. Best lambs sold at
! $3.50 today. Yearlings bring 81. 90
wethers S.. SO, ewes s. so. Stock
and feeding sheep are steady at
$3.50 to 81. 90 for wethers and
