Special 10 TIE HERALD.
Kansas City, Mo-. Saturday,
July l6. 19O4.-TAe live stock
market ut Kansas City was inter
rupted last week by the flood, and
business this week has been effect
ed ut all the markets by the strike
among packing house employees.
Cattle prices have not shown much
fluctuation, as shippers h a We
shown good judgement in market
ing just about enough stuff to meet
the demand. Prices have aver
aged steady so far since the troub-
le began until today, when most
sales were weak to ten cents low
er. Top steers haye sold at $G.15
this week, best heifers at 1918.
The common killing stuff. includ-
ing Gamers, has sold very slow
this week as packers are confininC
their efforts to tlling the demand
for fresh meat and will not do any
packing while the labor trouble is
in the present unsettled condition.
AS the situation is now, this mar
ket can handle $500 to 1900 cat
tie without hurting prices. A big
run, however, would prove disas-
trous Just now. Feeder buyers
have not been doing much lately,
and stocker and feeder prices are
IS 10 20 cents lower than two
weeks ago,
Hardly enough sheep have ar
rived to test prices, but the mar
ket has been weak on killing stuff.
Some feeding sheep haye been
taken out at - so to *3 25, con
sidered steady, Lambs bring up
10 $500, wethers -. 25, ewes 50, Is.

DeceitfuIneSs Of Sin.

Rev. ". H. Mccormack, Pastor of the VI. T.,
Church, farnIngtun, Mo.
If Il man shows deceit on two 90
casions we conclude that he is de
ceitful; if he acts so with other,
and for II period of years, we say
we are convinced beyond doubt
that the man is deccitful, mud W,
shun him; we refuse to trust him
for we rightfully feel that hc is Il
dangerous man. But let MS b,
just us wise in other directions.
The man who consented to follow
sin only for short time and n it,.
tie way, tells MS that after hc got ON
the way he found sin very deceit
full, that while it claimed to be his
friend and would lead him to hap.
plness and prosperity, it was his
enemy and led him to sorrow and
poverty aud refused to let him re-.
turn. This story has been told us
by another man and still another.
until us we lock about we find that
sin has not only been drcrtful with
one or two men for II day. week or
month, but with all men for ali
time.
History records that for 5000
years sin has been deceitful, has
lied. deceived and ruined its fol-
lowers. The ruined lives Gf men
and women, wrecked homes, iails
and pcnitcntiaries, divorces and
suicides, all testify that sin is de.
ceitful. Let us opeu our ears to
the testimony of those who have
been deceived and learn that sin is
dangerous; that while it promises
good it deals in nothing but bad.
Trust it not, yield not to it, for
you will become hardened
through the drceitfulluess of sin.
