NATIVE FEEDERS UNLOADING.

Those who are predicting HIGH
prices for range stock this coming
season are in line to get repnta-
tons as great prophets. say SIN
clair. Gillett & Co.. live stock com
mission merchants of Chicago in a
special letter to The Press and
they advise as follows:
Seldom. if ever. have so many
native steer cattle of good quality
been thrown on the Chicago mar
ket as recently. Figures do not
tell the story. There is a differ
cncc between Il weekly run of
10000 cattle, of which a goodly
proportion is butcher cows and
cannors, and a supply of the same
size of which 80 per cent is steers.
This has been the case recently
and is at the present time. 1t ac-
counts for declines of Is to 2bc in
steer values last week and a fur
thcr break of 10 to I5c this week.
while during the same interval
cow stuff actually sold higher.
Recently the liquidation process
has been accelerated by Il bull
market in corn and the nearing of
the range reason, native feeders
adopting the policy of reducing
feed lots before range stock begins
invading the market heavily.
This is decidedly am off season
for feeding cattle. The slump in
fat cattle has put feeders more in
the humor to liquidatc than put
cattle into feed lots OF pastures.
and the advance in corn has been
an additional setback. There arc
plenty of orders pcgged around
S4.25; in other words, the few in
tending buyers are in search OF
bargains. Fair feeding steers
may be bought at S4.25, but pack
ers are able to get 1000 to 1,lO(
ID cattle, with a decent kill, at the
same price. Most of the gooc
feeders have sold this week at$4. &c
to S4.50; medium stuff at 81 tc
1926; light stock steers at 1885,
to 81, and very common kinds a,
49, SO to 1926
1t is the concersus of trade
opinion that the possession Of
range cattle constitute an avenue
to big wads of currency this year
With native feed lots in a depleted
state when range green goods be
gin moving, it is almost an abso
lutte certainty that high premium.

A Damp Fourth

Forest City and Agency people
mostly stayed at home, calculating
on an excursion up The river ON
the "a G Marin but were knock
cd out by the showers in the after
noon and the wind and clouds i'm
the evening. The latter also
caused most of the fireworks to be
deferred till the next night. This
was one of the finest displays we
have ever seen, the nearby bank of
the river, with its absence of build
ings and other inflammable mater
ial, making Il safe ground for the
firing of firccrackcrs by the bunch
and Il mimic war with Roman can
dies, ''niggcrchascrs' etc.
The day was celebrated at the
old town in the grove adjoin-
ing b. NJ. Kcmpfs residence by
The usual annual picnic, about
GO people being present.
The table was decorated with
flags and flowers and fairly groan-
ed with good things to satisfy the
appetite.
Horse races, foot races, tug of
war, tests of strength, acrobatic
performances, instrumental music.
and songs were some of the amuse-
ments. Even the slight sprinkle
Of ram did not seem to dampen the
trdor of the picnickcrs, rather
5erving to draw them closer to-
.ycthcr, or to spoil the fire crackers
Of which tho youngsters seemed to
have heir full share.
No accident of any kind marred
The enjoyment of any one and
taken as Il whole it was the best
4th ever celebrated in Potter

have been a good success at Get.

cussing several questions from q

AMeRIcUs is RUNNING BEHIND
Receipts Six Thousand Bales Short OF
Last Year.

Up to this date Americas has receiv-
ed six thousand bales of cotton less
than the warehouses had handled up
to October 10th last year. Up to this
time last season just 81, 900 bales had
been marketed here as against 1000
bales now.
II any argument of short crop this
season was needed 1t might be had IN
these figures, as figures, we are told,
do not lie, even though other sources
may not be correct.
Six thousand bales is the diff ,rence.
and this difference is growing greater
every day.
Yesterday, one year ago, the Ameri-
Gus warehouses, as shown by the Times
Recorders FLEE, received total of $50
bales of wagon cotton. Yesterdays
receipts were barely two hundred, The
falling off in receipts will be great
deal heavier now.
1t would seem so, with difference
OF six hundred bales on a given date,
aud six thousand bales as the grund
total loss
There is absolutely nothing doing in
the local cotton market now Farmers
are not much disposed to take 81 cents
now-the identical price offered them
on October 18th last year, when they
had marketed 6, 900 bales more than at
present.
And anyone believing that cotton is
being held back are nursing q very
great delusion.
Within radius of twenty miles of
Americas the fields are, as q rule, as
bare now as they will be in January.
In some localities there is some top
crop cotton, but taking the county
over there will not be 500 top bales in
Sumter county.
The crops about gathered here; it is
going to be very short, and the farmer
who can hold bis bales until spring will
be in it.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, rs they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed cOnr
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
tacian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a Iumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be ia
ken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Ca'arrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
cOus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by CO.
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall
