Cattle PRICES STEADY
The Supply Was Meager, Most
of the Receipts Being of
Ordinary Quality
SALES HIGHER THAN WEEK AGO
The Hog Trade Was Active at an Aver
eraee Decline Of Cents Lower Than
Yesterday and 1919 Cents Below
Last saturday-sheep Active at
Recent Advances.

Chicago, May 2O.--Cattle-The sup
ing ordinary in quality and selling at
steady prices. with fair demand for
so late I'm the week. Sales We're largely
15@25c higher than last week.
The average price of good beef steers
Wednesday stood close to $500, point
CSC higher than the average price the
first day of last February. when infer
Tor to prime steers sold here at the
wide range of $4,000 5.45, and when the
bulk of steers arriving Went at $3.s5G
400 against S470I530 for the bulk of
offerings here "Wednesday. Present
average prices for good beef cattle are
the highest since last September.
Nearly all traders at that time eX-
pressed confidence in the stability Of
the future market and their predictions
of a higher range have been realized,
and, with a generally healthy demand
from nearly all sources and quite mod
crate receipts, they are now asking,
Whats to hinder values making an
other good gain?"
"Of course, the quality of offerings is
now considerably better than at that
time, the smaller arrivals of steers now
coming from feed lots whose owners at
that time had courage enough to hold
onto their cattle after having passed
what then seemed to have been the
crisis in the low period OF values, chose
owners having since fed cattle in good
shape and are noow putting a class of
stock onto the market which ranks
better in quality, tho not nearly enough
better to balance the big gain in>aver-
age values
Hogs.
Trade was active at an average de-
cline OF &c lower than yesterday and
urday's best.
The quality of hogs was good and In
Guided a large proportion of well fin
ished loads that would weigh above $50
pounds, while the showing of light
weights was comparatively small.
Sheep.
Sheep were active at the recent adj
vance, lambs selling at the best prices
of the year.
The supply OF Colorado lambs will
be exhausted in another week or two,
as about everything has been shipped
out, though there are enough on the
road to market to last few days
longer. Generally from the first of
June on the buyers can count pretty
well on fair supply of spring lambs
but this seasons crop is late and 1t is
doubtful If young lambs will be avail
able in considerable numbers before
the middle of June. Southern lambs
have commenced to come. but they can
not entirely supplant the Colorado
and western lambs. 1t seems almost
certain that the supply of both sheep
and lambs will be light until the west
ern range reason opens.

Catfish in a Hollow Tree.

Muscatine May 20.-For the Sec
ond time within few days live catfish
of great weight have been taken from
hollow logs brought down from up
the river to Muscatine saw mills.
Thursday fish weighing 25 pounds
was discovered by workmen for the
South Muscatine Lumber and Box
Company and few days ago another
weighing Is pounds was cut up by the
saw. Rivermen explain the presence
of the fish in the saw logs by saying
that fish habitually enter places which
will barely admit their bodies when
spawning and are unable to either
turn around or back out.

An exchange tells of school ma am
named Hatch who has taught seventy
two terms of school, never missing but
half day when she got stuck in a
snow bank. It is estimated that the
willow gads that she has used, placed
end to end, would reach across Mime
sofa and tickle the browse end of
South Dakota. The crayon she used,
II placed end to end in an upright
position, the top one would be froze
into solid icicle. The guilds of gum
she has chewed, placed side by side,
would reach from here to yonder.
She has spanked several senator's and
judges, and several men have kept
company with her, who now have
grand children, yet she still teaches
the young idea how to shoot.
