commonwealth in the value of its
wheat and corn. The value of
these two cereals this year aggre-
gate $2O0. 100000, and this great
garnering has taxed but a small
percentage of its productive acre

The Live Stock Market.

From Saturday nroyers Tele-
gram we take the following
Cattle. The close of the market
this'week shows an advance of 10
to Is cents over the close last
week for medium to good native
steers. The close last week was
at the high point and on last
Monday buyers took of ID to Is
cents in some cases which was
practically recovered on Tuesday.
Wednesday there was another adj
vance Of 10 cents in some cases.
but the close was weak. Since
then the market opened strong
and closed weak each day. The
best sales ranged from 1925 to
s.. 40 against s. to SIS last week.
The bulk of the medium. shortfed
kinds ranged from 1926 to to (. 80
against 81. Is to 4.75 last week.
Common natives ranged from g.
60 tod and gained about as much
strength as the better grades.
Good medium to heavy fed West
erns have been scarce this week
and advanced the same as natives.
Medium and light weight horned
Westerns have been plentiful and
while they sold more readily than
last week and at slightly higher
prices the advance was not in pro-
portion to that in natives. The
trade in cows has been active and
firm all week, closing weak on the
first two days. The close yesterdy
was strong. 10 cents higher than
last week. Light weight shortfed
heifers selling above So are Is to
Is cents higher for the week. The
trade in stOckers and feeders de-
veloped more life this week. On
last Monday there was an advance
of 10 to Is cents over the extreme
low close last week and this adj
vance has been we'll maintained
throughout the balance of the
week, except for a slight weak
ness In light weight, StOckers and
feeders were cleaned up at about
steady prices at the close. Bologna
and stock bulls are fairly well
cleaned up and steady prices have
been maintained. Good to choice
stock calves are Is to 25 cents
higher this week while the COM
mon grades remained about
steady. Veal calves are also 25
cents higher in some cases selling
up to 1925. The steer market in
the Texas division is practically
unchanged for the week, with top
.grasserS at So. The. COW market
is strong to 10 cents higher. There
mas been little change IN the rul-
ing price of calves as there have
not been enough on sale to fairly
test values.
Hogs-PriceS stitfened up a
little here today on only a moder-
ate supply, about $500 head,
Sales were mostly strong to 214
cents up and buyers quoted a
cents rise in spots. Quality was
hardly so good as previous days OF
the week. The market closed firm
and'on a level with a week ago.

An AriStocratic Tramp"
Kilroy and. Britton's new metro
pOlitan comedy drama success to
be seen at Opera House on next
Wednesday evening promises to
prove one Of the very best theatri-
cal offerings of the local season.
The production is complete in
every respect, the scenic equip
ment and acting company far
SURPRISING anything ever offered
slOcal theatre patrons. One Of
the features, an automobile race
ending in an apparently terrific
and death dealing explosion, is
said to be by far the most senSa-
tlOnal effect yet produced by stage
mechanism. While the play con-
tains plenty of pathos and enough
broad comedy for laugh every
minute, there are also seven big
specialties introduced which serve
to make An Aristocratic Tramp"
what every one wants to see, the
best show of the season.

Boycott Breaks Out Afresh.

Observation-Disclosures from Singa-
pore, Straits Settlements, bring the
news that the anti-American boycott
IN that quarter, which was thought to
be practically suppressed has, on the
contrary, taken on a decidedly seri-
GUS aspect. The state department
finds it very difficult to deal with this
phase Of the boycott for the reason it
exists, not in China proper, but in a
British dependency which can scarce
~ be called to account as was the
chinese government by Minister
Rockhill.
