SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

Receipts of livestock at the South st.
Paul market for the first days Of the.
week totaled 1922 cattle, S01 calves,
$40 hogs and 14,937 sheep, as COM
pared with 1868 cattle, 1877 calves,
II ,344, hogs, 40.19O sheep the preceding
week, and 23,l57 cattle, 75l calves, 27,
284 hogs and &c. ,4l4 sheep the. oorres-.
ponding week last year.
With fewer cattle here and at prin-
cipal markets than has been usual dur
ing the past few months, the tone, Of
the beef trade was considerably better.
The supply here, however, has consisted
almost entirely of fair to medium stuff,
and there was practically no test on
the better grades. Demand is strong
for good killing cattle, and grain-fed
stuff would be preferred if available at
this point. Thus far no granted cat
tie have been offered here, tho prices
compare favorably with those at other
markets. Good to choice granted
steers are now quoted $3.75@4.25, and
good to. choice cows $2.75@3.25.
Quality Of offerings being very com
mon, there was practically nothing Of
those kinds crossing the scales. There
was a scarcity of steers, the number

covering the preceding week s decline,
top being quoted up to SIS. Bulls were
quiet, and prices about steady, the
bologna varieties selling $2@2.3O, and
butcher grades $2.35@2.85.
Stockers and feeders showed little
change during the week. With the
smaller supply prices were held about
steady, even tho the number of outside
buyers was not as large as recently.
Demand continued good, .and offerings
move well despite the fact that the
bulk, of the stuff here was of the
medium order. There was scarcity of
good feshy steers. Fairly good feeders
sold around $3.50, and one load brought
1885. Buyers were willing to pay as
high as 1915 for the better grades
averaging around 1900 pounds, Fair
feeders were in ready sale at $500
tsold from $2.50@3.15, and fair stuff Of
Ethe same. weight brought generally
I$2. .20@2.40. Stock heifers and year,
flings were the slowest sale Of anything
on the market, the former moving at
$l.5o@2, with yearlings selling mostly
under the $3.50 point. Feeding bulls
were rather quiet, prices $1.75@2.25.
Hog prices were still going downward

As, 100000 bushels Of the crop Of wheat
of 1905 will have been marketed and
81, 7,009, $50 bus hels inspected at Winni-

slight fall of snow, which disappeared
almost immediately, the weather has
been fine and mild and wheat is being
steadily rushed to country elevators.
The railway companies are keeping up
the good record made so far and wheat
is getting to the lakes. Vessel room
has been plentiful and stocks at Fort
William are lower than at the same
date last year despite the enormous in

the lakes may not be so great as was
anticipated, even tho the period of nav

use Of ice breakers from the 9Th to the
18th Of December. If elevators were
clear east of the lakes and there was
any room to be had at Buffalo there IS
little doubt that 40,000,0O0 of the crop

find inspiration in the home circle a subject
because the people no longer interested in the
home?
| am afraid that all these questions must be an
swered generally in the affirmative. All the con-
ditons of life in this country to-day clash with the
old home ideal The primary cause is to he found
in that republican form of government which opens
every avenue of success to all; which develops the
individual imagination among and women
far rapidly than it develops the capacity of
each to attain the success desired. The financial
PRESSURE the rush for wealth, leaves the father
little time to think of his family. The social
pressure the custom among her kind, places SO
many responsibilities upon the mother outside
of her home that she has not sufficient time to prop
erly meet the responsibilities within. There is
doubt too that, lacking the old kind of home,
not making the old kind of mothers. That marriage
is being viewed in a more and more f1ppant way by
young people is only too evident. That the Ameri-
woman is tending toward shallowness of nature;
toward increasing absorption in herself, as
against that altrustic devotion which is at once
the natural destiny and divinity of the sex-is
only too true. Noble minded women are ever

well-being. And since the value of the home in
Auence is so clearly demonstrable and so entirely
undeniable since the home is the surest basis and
storage warehouse of potential happiness, all those
who desire and who seeking the rehabilitation
of the American home have truth upon their side;
have the Strengthening consciousness in their en-
deavor that truth is mighty and must prevail
One certain fact is that the ideal still exists
among people, and exists in full strength
Much of the enormous and novel popularity of
President is due, | convinced, to his really ideal
quality as the head of his family and his home, his
constant championship of the home interest. In
the photographs of himself and his family the old
and forgotten pictures to which referred have come
back to- us. The undoubted popularity of these
pictures proves the strength of their popular
appeal; proves that the home ideal still animates
the popular heart it would not warmly respond
to the Photographic stimulus. His emphatic pro-
nouncement against race suicide -; his enthusiastic

1t IS possible that the President
might actually do more good to
the United States by strenuous
endeavor in this educational di-
rection than will ever accrue to
us from the Peace of Portsmouth
or the Panama Canal.
All persons who have read the
first chapter of the life of Phillips
Brooks know how a noble mother,
an upright father and perfect
home can train boys into noble
men for the service of their
country and their God. Few,
however, need to be told this.
They freely admit it as rule;
but the woman is inclined to say:
l am unfortunately not noble
or broad-minded woman; and
the man will say: That's all
right, but it's about all can do
to pay the bills"
The answer to the woman is
that motherhood is essentially
noble; that mother love is the
noblest, most exalted emotion

from which the national strength can be calcu-
lated. is the only school of purity and of patriot
ism. If the moral character of men and of women
is not nodded during their plastic period, youth,
it is than likely that it will never be properly
nodded at any time. Love of country is love
of the fatherland, love of the ome-land-rnerely
love of the home expanded until it embraces
the land which contains the home. Every man
will fight for his home" said one of orators;
"but man ever yet shouldered musket for his
clearinghouse" This is a picturesque way of
stating the fact, but the less it expresses
deep social principle
That the home, with us as a people, is steadily
upon the decline, is unfortunately fact beyond
denial Those gentle domestic interiors which
were frequently to be met with in the magazines
and the pcture-shops of the last generation, wood
cuts in which appeared an exceedingly rigorous

round-faced children-varying in size and age, but

out of the wilderness
but the tendency
does not change. The
question is, What are
those who love their
country and their
kind to do in this
matter of building
up the home?
The only answer is
the education of pub
lie opinion. And it
is a matter upon
which we may con-
graduate ourselves
that the difficulty is
no worse than it is;
that the evil has not
yet, as in France,
passed beyond the
limit of practical
remedy.
One of the most
valuable and most
admirable qualities of
the American people
is their quickness of
apprehension. In
terest in ourselves,
interest in our own
welfare, has become
an eager individual
quality under our re-
publican training. As
individuals we rarely
need to be told twice

HSnI, replacing the lamp, mas uc-
stroyed the family circle? Is it
that the father no longer has
time to read? Is it that the
six children, cleverly disposed
wherever there was room for one
in the picture, represent families
of a size which have now become
SO rare that they are to be found
only among our foreign population
in the tenements? Is it that our
young people are now more will
ing to instruct their parents
than to be instructed; more will
ing to give than to receive? Has
the undoubtedly good book been
SO far replaced by destructive
criticism that the father, hurrying
home from Wall Street to read to
his family, would not be able to
find one? These woodcuts were
artistically crude; but they served.
They met a popular demand, or
they would not have been SO
numerously drawn and printed.
