DENVER MARKETS

q.
The market here last week was we'll
suppned with good class OF cattle
and the trading had good tone. The
demand was good for anything show
ing good quality and as most Of the
onerings graded up pretty we'll there
was good movement all week. The
supply Of beef steers was much bet.
ter than the preceding week and the
quality was also better. Some choice
North Park steers sold early at S425
and others about the middle OF the
week at $40. Other steers on sale
during the week sold largely at $3.OOG
1915. Best cows sold up to $3.l5 but
they were fine and most of the sales
ranged from $2.35 to $3.50. The sup
ply of cows was fair and the demand
good for the good kinds. Common
stun continues about as dull as ever
and attracts very little attention from
buyers. Prices on all beef cattle are
called steady to strong as compared
with = week ago.
Feeders and stockers have been
coming In larger numbers during the
last week. Buyers have also been
more In evidence and the movement
has been active. Some choice 1,15O.
pound steers sold up to $4.1O, including
freight to the Missouri river. These
were of very good quality, however,
and most OF the business was done
around $3.00Q$3.25 with right good
steers up to $3.50. A good demand
for feeders is expected here this week
on account Of the low rates prevailing
to Denver from the East. The de-
mand is best for the heavy steers of
good quality and prices on these are
little stronger than a week ago.
Other steers are about steady.
Hog receipts were fair but not
heavy. Prices have been going down
by jumps during the last few days and
tops at $500 on Saturday were about
ooc lower than quotations of q week
ago. The demand Is good.
The sheep market has been quiet
and no change in conditions from a
week ago. The demand was very
good and all offerings sold here at
steady prices. Feeders continue scarce
and very few coming this way.

TECHS IN FINE SHAPE
Confident of Winning Their Game
This Afternoon.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 3o.-The Techni-
cal foot ball team of Washington arrived
here at 7:30 this morning in fine shape and
full of confidence in winning their game
this afternoon with the Commercial High
all that could be desired barring rather
high wind, which may slacllen somewhat
during the game. which is scheduled to be-
gin at 2:30. The boys found plenty to do
during the early day, but they are under
such good discipline that they never forget
that they came here to play foot ball before
they play anything else. The boys OF the
Commercial School and their friends
sured the Technical boys that they can eX-
pect very large audience Notwithstanding
the many other foot ball games in progress
here this afternoon.
The Tech boys fully realize that they are
up against a hard proposition, for. with the
single exception of a defeat by the freshmen
team of Princeton, they have won every
game they have participated in this season.
On this account, well as for other rea-
sons the Tech. boys know that the Com
mercal team is by all odds the leading rep
resentative high school team of the United
States. To win a victory from them is there
fore an honor second to none in the boy
foot ball athletic world, and is worth striv-
ing for. They are going into the game with
a determination to win, If fine and strong
playing will do for them what 1t has done
for them in Washington, where they have
held the championship of the high school
teams for the past three years.
To an outsider the game looks very one
sided, as the Commercial team is heavier
from eight to twenty pounds, man for man.
though Tech. has probably slight advan-
tage as regards age. The home team has
the enormous advantage. also, in the fact
that the contest takes place in their own
territory where the rooters are all one way.
and that against the visiting team. But
the game Is worth more than the candle
and the Washington boys win win IL they
can. and take another trophy to the Nc
Kinley Manual Training School, which al
ready has so many well-earned victories to
its credit.
The lineup of the teams will be as fol-
lows, subject, however, to any changes that

WILL RETURN AT ONCE.
Orders Sent to the Minneapolis to Sail
for Home.

Orders have been issued from the Navy
Department for the cruiser Minneapolis, the
only United States warship in European
waters, TO return to Hampton Roads at
once, and ii is understood that the vessel
has already sailed from Gravesend for
home. The Minneapolis was sent to the
Mediterranean several months ago on
special mission connected with the solar
eclipse. When about to leave for home
orders were sent to her commander, Rear
Admiral Chester, to take the vessel into the
Baltic sea for use as an asylum for Ameri
can refugees from Russia in case of an
emergency. These orders were subsequent
ly cancelled because the appearance of ice
prevented the vessel from going anywhere
near tn seat of trouble in Russia, and the
vessel put into Gravesend instead. Then,
as the administration decided not to take
any part in the naval demonstration against
Turkey, and there was no other use for
the vessel in European waters, she was or
dered to return to the United States, in
accordance with the original plan when she
left here in the early summer.

STANDING COMMITTEE.
Members of Press Gallery to Meet To-
morrow Morning

Members of the Capitol press gallery are
more interested than usual this year In the
election of a standing committee of CORE
spondents. They will meet tomorrow morn
ing at II o'clock in the office of the New
York World in order to make nominations
for membership on the press committee.
1t is also understood to be the desire of
large number of correspondents to adopt
rules that in the future will effectually pre-
vent combinations among a comparatively
few members of the gallery for the purpose
of securing pledges of support in advance,
with the result of preventing a free vote of
the correspondents. The election of COM
mittee will be held some time following the
meeting at which nominations will be
made.

his testimony. that he had been dropped
because he was low in his studies and his
dismissal had been decided on before he
