steers were here Monday and sold ct
s4.55 and "a 65, weighing 1850 TO
1900 pounds. Idaho COWS sold at
SO go, weighing 1000 pouAds. The
demand for stockers and feeders is
holding up first rate and prices on ell
kinds are steady, with the exception
Of having feshy feeders which are 10
to Is lower than last week. The
range of prices on stockers and
feeders is 50. so to $500. The general
situation IN the cattle market is better
this week than any time in the last
two weeks, but is not yet able to hold
up under excessive receipts.
Hog markets are fluctuating widely
lately, principally on account of the
irregularitY in the volume Of receipts.
The run last week was extremely light
and the market advanced 25 cents.
This week the run was heavy and Is
to 20 cents was taken off Monday and
Tues day. Today the market took a
turn for the better and closed 5 cents
higher with a top of s5.S7S, bulk Of
sales S5,25 to s5.35. Heavy receipts
can be expected at this season Of the
year, but the packers side of the argu-
ment favoring lower prices in the near
future, seems to carry the most weight.
Sheep and lambs closed last week
about steady with the beginning.
Market on sheep was lower yesterday,
lambs steady, but the market today on
everything is to 10 cents higher and
active. Texas and Arizona sheep
make up the most of the receipts and
are selling at range of "a. 40 to S4.85.
this week, as the quality is very good.
The best fed lambs bring $685.,
yearlings $500, wethers IS 40, ewes
$50. Clipped stuff brings so to 60
cents less than these prices for the
best. Some Texas feeding sheep have
sold lately at sS rs to 1915.

The general concert given by the
Marchesi Club Of Central College
Monday evening had been looked
forward to with high expectation by
the friends of the fifty enthusiastic
musicians who constitutue the
organization. A diversified pro-
gramme ranging all the way from a
tender cradle song to demanding
oratorio selections was rendered to
the delight of a fine audience, which
filed the chapel.
1t is manifestlY impossible to treat
with Particularly a programme Of
sixteen numbers, most of them
double numbers; but in general it
may be said that the programme and
its rendition manifested on the part
of the club, a wide range OF musical
study and of intelligent musical
interest. The club, named for one
Of the greatest Of living teachers,
was organized by Mrs, Alfred Frank
lin Smith, director of the vocal
department of the College, for the
purpose Of further stimulating inter.
estjn lines of music study which
can be promoted in no other way.
Frequent meetings with lectures,
reports, general discussions and
private programmes have been held
besides this public recital, BY a
rule Of the organization every one one
Of the fifty members has been re-
quired to appear in solo parts. The
purpose Of the club has been fully
realized in the growth of enthusiasm
for musical studies.
A particularly attractive feature
of the programme Of Monday evening
was the work of the Marchesi Choral,
the Sowing Song of Loehr in the first
group being especially appreciated
by the audiense. The Carmena
Waltz Song in the last group was
also received with much applause.
Mrs. Smith has been known here as
teacher and soleist The perfor M
ance Of the Marchesi Choral reflected
much credit upon the instructor as Z
choral director.

Genial Male Ouartette Entertainment.

The entertainment of the Male
Quartette of Central College, Fayette,
given at Central Female College last

an eminent success. Over and over
they were encored and so delighted

consent to closing the evenings pro-
gram till late hour. Each gentle
men of the quartette carried his part
most acceptably in good voice and in
telligent Interpretation. They have
for five years toured the state and
have acquired most pleasing address
and program. Their numbers vary
from the serious high grade type to
the popular, and it may safely be said
their coming again would be cordially
welcomed.
The work Of Miss Christine Lewis,
who assisted them with readings
was of high order and added greatly
to the pleasure Of the audience. In
clear voice, natural and artful manner,
she presented her selections, and
established her reputation as an
elocutionist with those who heard
her.
