KANSAS CITY MARKET
A Review of Prices and Condition of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 3.-The cat week till Friday, on which day buyers began to figure on a big run and lower prices the week ahead, and half the advance of the first of the week was lost. However, practically all classes made a net gain of 10 to 15 cents, ex- cept grass western steers, which closed the week barely steady with the be- ginning. Feeder buyers were plentiful all of last week and outbid the killers on some of the pretty good westerns. A big string of Utah stockers sold at S3.50 last week, 5S0 pounds, and feeders in the same shipment sos pounds, sold at $3.45. A train of Bear river cattle sold to the killers Friday at $3,40. 11O4 pounds. Old Mexico steers, direct from southern Texas, sold at S265 Monday of last week, and the same stuff sold Thursday at $2.S5. Panhandle stock CTS and feeders ranged from $2.90 to $3.G5, with q few choice yearliugs, nigh bred, at $3.S5 to $40. Range cows were plentiful from Texas at $40 to S2-65, mainly; veal calves advanced a quarter during the week, selling at $4.25 to $5.50. The supply is liberal at 10000 head, just about what was ex- pected. Cows are weak to 10 cents lower, westerns and stockers and feed CTS a shade lower. veals steady, corn fed steers higher. with trade active on all kinds. Feeder buyers have been operating more freely. and improved business in this branch of the trade has helped the other kinds also.
 Sheep and lambs lost 10 to 15 cents last week, on account of lower mar kets elsewhere, although the demand here was ample to take all that came without any loss. The market is strong, and prices nearly at the top reached ten days ago. Two different shipments of 7S to 80 pound Utah lambs sold at 7.2O yesterda$y; 111-pound Utah weth- CTS at S5.45; ewes at SAYS, while yearl- ings bring about S5.75 for the best Some medium Arizona lambs sold at $6.65 to $7 last week. and mixed New Mexico sheep and yearlings, 7S and 92 pounds, sold at s and s5.25. The de- mand is still urgent for stock and feed ing stuff, even though prices for same, S4 to S4.5O, are equal to prices for fat stuff a year ago. Packers do very lit tie sorting, for two reasons. the stuff is generally pretty good, and they need every animal they can get, and this leaves the feeder buyer out almost en- tirely, besides giving the shipper high prices for Q maximum proportion of his stuff.

Probability That Document Will be Signed Today
EVERYTHING READY NOW
The Notifications Must Be Made With in Seventy DayS-Ths PIenipOten- tiarieS Anxious to Leave America by the Middle of the Week.

Portsmouth. N. H., Sept. S.-From an official source the Associated Press is informed that the treaty is completed. It consists of a a-preamble and seventeen articles, the substance of all of which have been given in the Associated Press dispatches. But there will still be a difference about the working of the protocol of the last sitting, which must be signed before the treaty itself can be signed.
 The Japanese presented a protocol to which the Russians took exception. The differences, however are expected to be strengthened out before noon to- morrow, and it seems quite possible that the treaty will be signed tomorrow afternoon. MT. De Martens. who is ex- tremely anxious to get back to Russia, has engaged passage on the La LOT raine, sailing on Thursday and he will leave here Wednesday.
 The seventeenth and concluding ar ticle of the treaty provides that the exchange of notifications shall occur within seventy days after it's signature by the plenipOtentiaries The Rus sians' ratification will be communicat- ed to the Japanese government by the French minister at Tokio and Mir Meyer, the American minister at St Petersburg, will communicate the Japanese notifications to the Russian

FEVER REDUCTION
The Situation in all Re-
 SpeCtS is Better
The Lowest Number of Deaths and New Cases Since the Epidemic Reached Its Height.

New Orleans. Sept. 3.-The fever re port to 6 D. m.: New cases, 29; total to date, 2.2O4; deaths. 8; total to date, 297; new foci, II; under treatment, 305.
 For the first time in over a month the number of new cases of yellow fever were in the twenties. With only three deaths compared to eighty-three deaths on September 3, 1878, the feel ing of confidence that the fever is be- ing wiped out is growing. Among the new cases are those of Captain B. F. Clayton, U. s. A. quartermaster in charge of this department, and Coun- cilman l.. T. Dunne.
 The country situation. while not what it should be, is improving some what, though the discovery of new foci causes some anxiety. Despite the rigid quarantine regulations, it is believed that many persons have succeeded in getting into New Orleans from some of the country places.
 The situation at Patterson, where it was feared ignorant Italians contem- plated trouble, has developed nothing new. No overt act has been committed. and it is believed that danger is over.

WELDING THE WEST
The Getting Together of
 Pacific Coast States
The Work Has Been Given an Impetus by the Meeting of State Delegations at Portland.

Portland. Sept. 3.-The Lewis and Clark Centennial exposition has done more than show the resources of the great northwest to the entire world: it has cemented the interests of the whole Pacific States region and has brought the people together as one great family There has never been a time in the history of the coast when the people have had such un- usual opportunities of meeting one another as at the great exposition at Portland this year. Merchants from different cities have come to know one another, and the meeting has been of mutual advantage. All classes of peo- pie have been brought together and the man from the south coast has met the man from the north coast
 A movement is now on foot to crys- taliZe this sentiment of good will and cooperation among the people of the Pacific states into an effective work ing organization for the benefit of the entire region. More than a year ago it was proposed by Rufus P Jennings. executive officer of the California Pro- motion committee, an organization representing more than 15O chambers of commerce and development asso- CidllOllS or Ike character In CailICr- mia, that the commercial organizations of the entire Pacific states region should get together" The Oregon Development league. consisting of for ty-four chambers of commerce. and improvement organizations in Oregon. took up the movement. Then Wash ington, Idaho. Utah, Nevada and the territory of Arizona followed suit As result the most important step in the history of development work on the Pacific coast has been begun and an era of organization and effective cooperation between the Pacific states will prevail. With a central aSsOcia- tion, consisting of the state commer- cial organizations, which are in turn composed of the local organizations. when any of the Pacific states desire needful public improvement, all the states through the central Organiza- ton will cooperate and lend their moral support for the work to be done. This win greatly fortffy the represen- tatives of the Pacific states in con- gress at Washingt who will be glad to avail themselves of a united public sentiment upon the coast. In like manner a campaign will be conducted for large conventions for Pacific states cities as well as an organized cam paign for publicity.
 The movement gained great strength through the excursions of the various states to the exposition. Many of these excursions were given under the auspices of commercial bodies and in this way the men actively engaged in this work have come to know one an other. The largest excursion of this kind was that given under the aus pices of the California Promotion com mittee shortly after the opening of the fair. Representatives of the chambers of commerce of the whole state of Cal ifornia took part in the event, and the result has been a steady stream of vis- itors from the Golden state to the banks of the Willamette.

6. A. R. CONCLAVE.
The National FnCampment
 Assemblies Today
It's Thought That it Will Overshadow all of the Preceding Thirty Eight ASSemblages.

Denver, Sept 3.-The thirty-ninth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will begin in this city tomorrow. The city is crowded with guests and heavily loaded trains are arriving at the Union station from all directions. In order to facilitate the handling of passenger trains, the Santa Fe has ordered all freight trains an- nulled for the next twenty four hours Travel on this line is exceedingly heavy. Other roads where traffic is heavy are considering the advisability of taking similar action. Members of the local executive committee persist in their belief that the coming encamp- ment will be the largest in the history of the organization.
 At the headquarters and in the lob bies of the hotels already are heard discussions of the election of officers and the place of the next meeting. There are five candidates for comman- der-in- chief. namely-CorporaI James Tanner of New York, Robert Brown of Ohio, Colonel Burroughs of New Jersey eX-Congressman Charles Burton of Mississippi and General George Stone of California.
 Four cities are in the race for the 1906 meeting place. They are: Chat
 
 neapolis, Minn.. and Buffalo, N Y The custom of giving the office of senior vice-commander to the city entertain- ing the encampment has brought two candidates for that position into the field In this city General George w. Cook. chairman of the local encamp- ment executive committee and U. :. Holdstron.
 Some of the important business to be considered by the encampment in it's secret sessions. which will begin on Thursday morning will be the proposed changes in the constitution and recom- mendations to the congressional com mittee. The latter will be asked to endeavor to have congress pass a new service pension bill that will have no time limit. One proposition is to pen sion the veterans of the civil war whether injured or not, on a per diem basis; that is to say, a certain amount for each day of the service
 There is a proposition under consid- eration to change the constitution SO as to provide for a new office. that of patriotic instructor. Each post will have an instructor of this kind. whose duty will be to ofnciate in the public schools as teacher of patriotism.
