NEW PRIVATE SYSTEM.
Chicago Munic pal Water System Does
Not Paw.

Not Pay.
Chicago. Dec, 2l-A plan for priv
ately owned system Of water works in
side of and independent of the municipal
ownership water plant is now being
worked out by the stockyarls inter.
eats. 1t contemplatcs plant supplying
nearly one billion gallons of water a
month.
The promise is that ii the franchise
can be obtained the water viii be fur
nished TO the company's consumers for
not more than "a cents thousand gal
Ions and probably two cents. The city's
rate to wholesale users is now four
cents and runs from that to ten cents to
those who buy less quantities. The city
is losing money on the four-cent rate.
The advantage the proposed company
would have over the city would be the
fact that it supplied but limited ter
ritory with the water close ut hand and
this territory would contain ome of the
largest water users in Chicago.
As far as figures have ben made out
they show that water can be furnished
at from two cents TO q cents o thou
sand gallons. This would mean loss
in supplying the small consumers but
that would be small part of the busi.
ness. The plan is that the large pack
ers shall be the stockholders and they
would get their profits out of the reduc-
tion in the price they have to pay for
water.

sideFabIy Below That
Kansas City Dec 1.-THE general

scured by the attention being drawn
to several drOEes Of fancy Christmas

Hereford yearlings, weighing SIS
pounds, sold at 500 yesterday, fancy
black twO-year-Olds at sos, and
heavy cattle at $6-25. Today's sales
include a few odd head at 800, a
drove Of old fashioned 1900 pound
ShorthOrns at $3.50, and veal calves
at $500. Dropping down to the ordi-
nary every day, useful kinds Of cattle,
the market IS about steady yesterday
and today as compared with close Of
last week, stOckers and feeders and
cows trifie strong. The trade is
healthy, and the only discOrdant fea-
ture this week so far was the exces-
sive supply Of $4,000 cattle at Chicago
yesterday, with prices weak to 10 low
CT.
Cattle supply here for two days is
$4,000, a decrease from sale days last
week Of 1000. Good to choice fed

1885, veals 25 cents higher this week,
at $500 to 500, stock calves $500 to
S4-25, Gamers S2.OO to Sass. Trade
in stOckers and feeders is brisk, as the

confident regarding the market next
spring and early summer. Bulk Of
sales are at 1925 to $3.50, some choice
Panhandle yearlings at $3.50 to S415
lately, but not many feeders above
$500.

is liberal, g, 900 yesterday, Is, 900 today,
market to 10 lower yesterday, open
ed lower today, but closed up strong
at yesterdays best price. Top $500,
bulk Of sales $3.50 to 1895. Although
the market huctuates cOnsiderab bly,,
strength is evident all the time Local
prices still lead all competitive points

vance, 10 TO 25 cents was added last
week, market strong and active yes
terday and today. Fed western year
hngs are selling best at $6.25 to $3.50,
