CITY STOCKS

Correspondence to The Optic.
Kansas City, Oct. 30.-The cattle
run was $4,000 last week, including
calves. and would have been larger
but railroads are short or ears and
power. The market remained steady
last week till Friday, when prices de-
clined 10 cents On nearly all kinds,
Supply today is $4,000 head, several
thousand short of late Monday runs,
market steady on steers. 10 cents
higher on cows. Some Bear River
steers sold at $4.10 today, the high
est price OF the season for Colorado
killers. Fair to good range steers,
both for killing and for the country,
are selling at $500 to $3.50; common
ones around $2.75: stock calves, 1915
to $500. Heavy Colorado cows sold
last week at 1915 to sos; bulk OF
Panhandle and other grass cows at
$3.50 to $3.50: several large strings
OF n at $500; bulls at $1.S5 to
$2.25, Veal calves are very scarce
at $3.50 to 1925: fat heifer calves
that could be substituted for veal,
strong at $3.50 to $500. Inquiry from
killers for good butcher stuff is be-
coming more urgent, and this class
will no doubt enjoy its usual winter
prestige the coming season.
The small run Of 10000 sheep and
lambs last week we're taken at sharp
" higher prices. Supply today IS
$500; market on sheep steady, lambs
about 10 cents lower. Colorado lambs
sold today at $3.50, not quite as good
as the $7.65 lambs last week. Pack
ers buy everything, and some So 10,
lambs. usually purchased by feeders,
we're taken by a packer today at $6.35.
Utah ewes, "a lbs. sold at $500 today.
Few ewes are bringing $5.25 to $3.50.
Colorado yearlings sold today at 1913
to $500 and wethers last week at
$3.50. Native lambs reached $1.1o
last week and $7.65 today. Prices
generally are $50 to SITE higher
than at this time last year. or, IN
other words, ewes and wethers are
selling higher now than lambs we're
at that time. The very small run
here is responsible for the extra high
prices, and the market might under
go a REIMBURSEMENT II receipts In
crease materially. It Is o higher
here than at other points.

ACTION.

Special Santa Fe Officer Ben vii
liams has made an excellent record
and Is counted as n OF the best men
In the service. II is the more 10 be-
wondered at then that he waited To
be forced by the district attorney al
Albuquerque before securing the ar
rest OF the man, who made the UNI
provoked assault on Hon. Alex Bowie.
The Albuquerque papers both remark
that Williams saw Briggs AZ the de-
pot Saturday morning and had him
positively Identified by a number OF
men who witnessed the assault. II
this man had been picking up scatter.
cd Goals about the track, or had been
disposing Of an old piece Of brass
bearing the Santa Fe stamp. he would
have been arrested promptly enough,
But as he only half killed a Santa Fe
passenger without any provocation.
the special officers must needs wait
for instruction from the district attor.
ney that a complaint has been filed.
Williams action was particularly
unfortunate because Mr.. Bowie Is the
man who brought the Catalonia Coal
company suit against the Santa Fe.
l, was unfortunate because II lent a
trace OF color to the unfounded and
ridiculous report that the Santa Fe
company was n party 10 the smuggling
| OF Mr.. Bowie and failed TO take meas.
ures TO secure the arrest of his as
s%ailant, That the company or any OF
It's officials should conniye at such
a piece of work is, OF course. too silly
a statement to require any notice,
nor can II be believed that Mr.. vii
liam's action could have been differ
ent if the passenger assaulted had
been a particular friend of the com
pany. (
But the special officer, undoubtedly
erred In judgment In allowing a por
ter who had viciously assaulted a pas
senger to continue bis u as though
nothing had happened. The officials
OF the company would, certainly, hav'
backed him In having the man brough
up for Investigation, and Williams ha
full authority of law to arrest unrul
passengers or train men.
