TOO MANY CATTLE
Supply Exceeds Demand at all
Markets and Prices Drop

Denver Union Stock Yards, Nov.
l3.-Heavy receipts again last week
had a rather disastrous effect on
prices at all points. Ever thing
except the very best cattle was re-
ported lower. Chicago quoting 10
to % cent drop for the week, with
other eastern markets about the
same. The run here was about the
same as the week before. Quality
was good but the unfayo-able reports
from the eastern markets had 4 de-
pressing effect on the trade here and
prices closed weak to 10 cents
lower on the best grades and 10 to %
cents down on common stun.
Packers were wanting good fat steers
all week but few came, and they
paid very little attention to the half
fat kinds. Prices ranged largely
from IS to IS TO with only few good
enough to reach the latter price.
Cows were in liberal supply and sold
readily if good, but common stun
was slow. Some choice North
Parkers brought So but most of the
sales ranged from 50 to $40 Bulls
sold strong at sl.75 to s220, but
veals closed weak. The supply OF
the latter was liberal and the de-
mand only fair. Feeders and stock
ers were plentiful and quality very
good. There was a demand for
everything but lower markets east
weakened the trade here. The
good grades sold best and anything
good enough to bring better than
So. 25 is no more than dime lower,
but on the common stuff the market
is off l5 to 25 per cent. All markets
have suffered this week from an over
supply of cattle and the decline here
is the direct result of lower prices
east. Receipts here today were
about ., 70C head. Eastern markets
were again reported lower and trade
here was weak in consequence.
The demand for hogs is rapidly in
creasing on this market and packers
are paying rather better than Mis-
souri, river prices. Pregnant sows
can always be had here at very little
cost, as they are cut out by the gov
ernment inspectors and not allowed
to be killed, and it would seem that
with such good demand so close to
home Colorado stockmen should give
more attention to hog raising.
Sheep receipts continue liberal and
the market here is in fine shape.
Prices are easier than week ago on
account of lower markets east, but
there Is no material change In
values. w. n. Fulton.

"tT'anks,"

The first number of the 36th vol.
ume OF the Greeley Tribune appeared
this week. OF the Tribune 1t can
truthfully be said that it can look
back over an honorable and useful
record, made during its existence OF
more than third Of a century. 1t
has been leading factor in the up
building OF Greeley and the sur
rounding country, and the hope is
expressed that it may be permitted
to complete full century Of good
works along that line. The Trib-

OFFERING REWARD
County Commissioners Wan
Bridge Covering
Want

The county commissioners are
Offering a good liberal reward (proo-
ably in some of Mr.. Devinney's
choice cigars) for the fellow who
can show them good substitute for
lumber for bridge covering. One OF
the biggest items of expense the
county has is the annual recovering
of nearly all the bridges over the
rivers. As some of these are five
hundred TO six hundred feet long,
the item is enormous.
The shorter bridges and culverts
are practically all being put in with
either cement tiling or cement arch
and will last for century or more.
The expense is heavy on the start
but in the long run these are the
most economical.
During the past summer the COM
missioners spent over 81, 100 for TIL
ing for these bridges. No wooden
culverts are being put in on any OF
the main roads any more, and the
cost of maintenance will rapidly be
cut down.
The commissioners are we'll
pleased with the work the new street
and road roller has been doing on
Thirteenth street leading to the
sugar factory, but are still wishing
that it was few tons heavier. But
the bridge question had to be taken
into consideration, and as the esti-
mated strength of the Weld county
bridges is only 27.0O0 pounds, a ten
ton roller is about all it is safe to
have.
The roller will shortly be put to
work upon the reads leading into the
city.
