DENVER STOckYARDS.
Control Will Pass to Eastern Men
January 1st.

Denver.-The Republican asserts
that on January LIST the Denver Union
stock yards will pass to the control of
the Chicago packing trust, popularly
known as the Big Four" which re-
Gently secured the majority of the
stock of the two big local packing
plants. The Chicago trust has bought
sixty per cent of the Denver Union
Stockyards Company. 1t is now in
complete authority in the beef indus
try here. Those now in charge and
some of the stockmen state that the
change will be advantageous to Den
Yer, that it means an enlargement of
the stockyards, the working of the two
packing plants to their limit and en-
couragement to the feeding of cattle,
hogs and sheep.
THE deal is not quite closed yet and
] am not at liberty to be quoted said
one of the local men interested in the
transaction. But it will be closed and
the actual transfer will be made be-
fore the first of the year. There is nat
urally a feeling against trust, but
believe the transfer will be beneficial
to Denver in the long run. 1t will stop
this slashing Of prices that has been
going on. Yes, the men who bought
iHto the pdchiHS pants nave Sot more
than a majority of the stock of the
stockyards country and its operations
will be controlled by them. The first
thing will be to increase the facilities
of the yards. We have been making a
good deal of improvements ourselves.
but the new men will need more room.
All the meat needed for the western
country will be killed in Denver after
this. Denver will be the center of the
sheep raising industry and you will
find that n great many more hogs will
be raised. The Chicago men who have
been out here several times looking
over the whole situation have decided
that the territory around Denver is GO
ing to be rich for the packing bust
ness"

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards-Re.
ceipts of cattle were heavy at all
points last week. Over 10000 arrived
here, which was about double the num-
Der received the preceding week.
There was a good strong demand for
everything offered, and while eastern
markets reported a decline for the
week prices here held up well and
good cattle are fully steady with a
week ago. Prices took a jump early
in the week, but later on account of
the unfavorable advices from eastern
markets most of the early advance was
lost Beef steers were especially in
demand and packers could have used
good many more had they been here
Some choice Wyomings sold up to
$500 and bulk of the business was
done around $3.50 to $3.50. Cows also
sold well and readily, best going at
1920 and prices ON the fair to good
ranging from $40 to $500. Good cows
and steers are especially wanted for
the Christmas trade. Bulls We're just
about steady during the week and veal
calves also unchanged. Feeders and
stockers sold well and a large number
went to the eastern feed lots during
the week. One bunch of 1,340lb. North
Parkers sold at $4.25, which is the
best sale reported in some time, and
bulk of the pretty good steers sold at
$40 to $3.S5. The market to-day was
active at steady prices. Close to 5000
head of cattle were on sale, but they
were all disposed of in good season, as
the demand was good.
The hog supply during the past week
was fair, but packers were good buy
ers and would have taken good many
more. Prices note little change from
good week ago.
Sheep receipts were about 10000
head, most of which were offered and
sold here. Trade was active all week
and prices generally called just about
the same as a week ago. The first of
the northern Colorado fed sheep ar
rived during the week and sold well.

RUSSIA'S CRISIS
REACTION MAY BE CONFRONTED
BY REVOLUTION.
DYNASTY IN DEADLY PERIL
Four Hundred Thousand Cossacks to
Crush Out Freedom-Absolute An
archy PrevaiIs-Streets Of Riga
Flow With Blood.

ST. Petersburg-The situation is eX-
ceedingly OminOus. Public opinion is
practically unanimous that the gov
ernment has entered upon the fatal
path of reaction and that Whites min
istry must fall. Reaction and revolu-
tion confront each other in death
struggle. Both General Trepoff and
General Count Ignatieff, according to
the popular impression, are being held
in reserve to execute the program OF
repression. 1t is again said that the
entire Cossack strength of 100000 will
be modified in a supreme effort to
crush the revolutionary force.
Absolute anarchy prevails. A mes
senger who arrived here this morning
declared that the streets of Riga were
flowing with blood. After meeting
the railroad men were moved down by
the fire of machine guns and artillery.
The railroad men of st. Petersburg,
at meeting yesterday evening, re-
solved that inasmuch 'as the reaction
Is gaining force, the government is
seeking to retract what was won by
the first Pan-Russian strike The
railroad men stand ready to obey the
signal for general strike, but advise
their fellow-workers to await the word
as failure must not be risked.
simultaneously with the arrests
here, M. Dronsnilny and all the men,
bers of the union of the employees of
the posts and telegraph operators of
Moscow, with NJ. Kokhanowski at their
head, were arrested at Moscow.
Certainly the appearance of St.
Petersburg and the events to-day seem
to paint black picture of the future.
The capital resembles a great military
camp. The patrols everywhere were
doubled. Grim looking cannon rum
bled through the streets. What hap
pened smacked strangely of the old
regime.
A large workmen's meeting was dis
persed by Cossacks. The building in
which the executive committee of the
League of Leagues meets was sur
rounded by troops, and no one was
permitted to enter it. At the same time
a vast meeting of "Loyalists" was
freely permitted. at which speeches
were made extolling the Emperor and
the government. To cap the climax.
the funeral of Lieutenant General SAX
haroff, former minister of war, who
was assassinated at Saratoff December
5th, with an imposing array of mill
tary, representing all arms of the ser
vice-artillery, horse guard and foot
soldiers-passed up the Nevsky pros
pect between sullen crowds.
