Market Letter.

Kansas Clty, MO, wednesday,
March Is, 1905. The principal thing
Of Importance in the cattle market
this week is the slow ma ket on
stockers and feeders, as compared
with the good market Of first Of last
week. Prices got too high, and most
of the country buyers here early last
week went home without cattle.
Prices dropped rapidly till the end Of
the week, and buyers are scarce this
week, although prices are 25 to 40
cents under the high time. Killing
cattle have not changed much in ten
days.
The run this week has been normal,
but too many cattle at Chicago
Monday gave the week a bad start.
Killing cattle sold Yesterday steady
to strong, and small supplies at all
points today makes the market strong
to 10 cents higher Top beef steers
sold at $500 both yesterday and
today and quite a number yesterday
at s5 40 aud over, bulk OF steers at
$3.50 to s5 35, very few below s4.25.
Cows and heifers hold their strength
very well, best c1ws and heifers SELL
ing at 1885 to $3.50, occasional
sales of choice heifers mp to S4.65.
Bulls are stronger at So 65 to So 10,
veals a quarter lower at $500 to
1925, Gamers 81 90 to s2.75, bnlk OF
COWS at $500 to SO 10. Although
StockerS aud feeders are considerably
lower than first of last week. 1t is
thought they will remain COM
paratively high, as demand is sure to
revive, and hold good till spring or
summer, and supply in the meantime
will probably be short, as owners will
nold on to their thin cattle tighter
the nearer we get to grass. A few
good heavy feeders have gone out this
week at S4. 90 to S4.90, and bulk Of
feeders still sell above SO 90, stOckers
sJ so to 81 40, stock calves s2.75 to
645o, stock eo,ys aaa hSHCgs S2.lo to
$500
BY continually knocking prices,
packers manage to prevent the hog
market from gaining anything, but
sellers get steady prices most Of the
time Market was some lower
Monday and yesterday, but is 5 to 10
higher today, top So O7l, bulk Of sales
a. S5 to 50 05, light hogs up to 81 95,
pigs s4.1O to 81 so. Receipts are
fairly liberal, compared with a year
ago, and quality is better than
heretofore, as more Northern nOgs
are included.
weakness has been the main
feature Of the sheep and lamb market.
Wethers and ewes are about steady
with a week ago, but buyers do not
show much enthusiasm. Lambs and
yearlings are l5 to 20 cents lower
Lambs now sell at $500 to S7.S5,
yearlings $500 to $500, wethers
So. 25 to 1915, ewes S4.85 to s5 so.
Market is 10 higher on sheep today,
steady on lambs. Western ewes sold
at $3.50 to $500 today.

have occasionally hazel nuts, and
an abundance of wild raspberries,

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: After
leaving your city 1 spent about two
weeks in Lafayette Co., and Kansas
City and left for Iowa 20th February,
where l stayed q week, during all
which time there was quite lot of
snow. l left Iowa and went to St.
Paul, where the snow had almost dis
appeared, and from that point north
through the Dakotas, Southern
Assinabois and Southern Alberta snow
was completely gone. 1 stopped two
nights at Calgary, (having arrived on
Sunday and no passenger trains run
ming on the branch line tLat day [
could not get further nortb,) and had
to have my window at night open, it
was so warm. At the hotel tables

Indeed the weather was delightful
This is a solid built city pleasantly
situated on the Bow river and with a
splendid view Of the snow capped
Rockies, Monday morning l con-
llDued my journey north and still there
was no snow for about 30 miles, when
from that on to Wetasklwin there was
little, but at this writing tits all gone
except where sheltered in timbers,
1t Is bard to realize that snow should
be bad south and so very little north.

ON a charge of arson. it being alleged
that he set fire to his store and started
the con1agration which resulted in a
loss of more than $4,000 early Thurs

Critten was released on a $500 bond.
He denies the charge absolutely.
The authorities say they have a
complete chain OF circumstantial evil
dence pointing TO the guilt OF Critten.
The disastrous fire was the third in
the last few weeks, and in each in
stance there was evidence of incen-
diarism. The people of Princeton are
somewhat excited because of the many
fires, but many refuse TO believe that
Critten is guilty.

di& ppeared that he had killed Hook.
enberry Wells told her he crushed
hl0kenberrys skull with an oar and
then threw the body from the skin
into the river The girl says that
Wells said his reason for killing Hook.
enberry was because her step-father
objected 10 Wells paying attention to
her Wells told the girl that II she
ever told on him he would kill her
II IL took twenty years.
Another suspicious circumstance
connected with the killing is that
Wells sent his wife away Just a few
dsSS before Hockenberry disappeared.

that Wells will be indicted before it
