The run of cattle this week, while

was slow trade towards the close of
the week as yard traders had a good

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

The movement of western cattle this
week dropped off considerably, and the
total was much short Of recent weekly
records. There has been fairly good
sized supply of native cattle. Demand
was strong, and granted stuff has been
wanted. Only a small share of corn
finished cattle was on the market, and
offerings have been mostly of fair quail
ity and in small lots. The market held
about the same as at last weeks best
time, with tendency to strengthen on
the better grades. Owing to the scar
city OF very good to choice cattle there
was practically no showing on that
kind: Veal calves and bulls were about
steady.
The stocker and feeder market has
been active and in the first days there
The run was only moderate, and the
supply was short Of demand. The at
tendance of country buyers was fairly
large, and traders exhibited much in
terest. The yards were very well
cleared at the close of the week.
Stockers were mostly 25c higher than
at the preceding week. s close and there
were spots, of greater strength. on the
better grades Of light cattle. Feeders

to the fact that the strength Of the
market this week was due to light re-
ceipts shippers should be cautious
about sending flood of inferior stock
ers this way.
There has been moderate supply
Of hogs this week, the number moving
to this market being smaller than dur
ing the preceding week. Demand con-
tinued strong, and with favorable con-
ditions prevailing in the east there
were gains the latter part of the week
which offset early losses.
Quality has been generally good, and
the range of prices continued narrow.
Butcher hogs continued at the top, and
there was another display of the pre-
ference for Yorkshires on Tuesday,
when load Of that kind brought pre-
MUM price.
The run Of sheep has been Of good size
this week, the arrivals including mod
crate share of killing stuff sold here
with a showing Of feeders, and a large
proportion of western sheep billed thru.
Demand was good the first days for
killing grades, and the market was gen.
orally active, but on Friday conditions
changed and the market was dull and
lower. ...-
Prices for sheep continue steady with
the best time of the preceding week,
until Friday when there was drop of
10 to 15c. Feeders were little easier
than at the best time recently, but Of
ferings found an outlet.
The lamb market remained steady
until Friday, several large lots of choice
lambs selling the first days at ST., but
at the close top was practically $6.75.
The tone at the close was dull and Of
ferlngs moved slowly.

ket on chickens naturally had a. de-
pressing influence upon values, and quo
.tatlons eased down to- S to 6 cents on
hens and 7 cents on springs. The out
let is not very broad, even at these
figures, and receivers have had to kill
and store thousands of pounds to get
them out Of the way. There has been
a good proportion of ducks and geese

better sellers than chickens, and values

Moderate marketing in the last few

packers have given the market better
support this week, and this was for

class of heavy packers went under S..

depend mainly on the size of the re-
ceipts. Any, large supplies will likely

widening Of the spread between the

Discussing the Hill "melon' L..
T. Watson of New York says: "De-
pendent upon the requirements Of the
United States Steel corporation during
the first year Of its lease of Great
Northern ore lands, the income of the
new trust certificates will vary between
minimum Of about 100000, or 40
cents share, to a maximum in the
vicinity of $3.50 share. Judging by
the prosperous condition Of the iron
and steel business and the bright out
look for it's continuation as Indicated
by the orders already booked, and
large tonnage yet to be contracted for
in sight, as suggested by the pressing
for the unprecedented and increasing
business activity in every part of the
land, it is reasonable to suppose, with
oW taking into consideration the large
surplus at present in the hands Of the
Lake Superior company from profits
from these ore lands from previous
years operations, that these trust Sc
tifcates will start in the first of the
year with a handsome income for
Great Northern stockholders. This is
estimated by competent authorities
close to headquarters, at a rate Of not
lower than 3 per cent, and very like
ly 4 per cent. IT,
This result of the ore land lease con-
stitutes only part Of the benefit in
vestors in Great Northern securities
are to receive. The largely increased
tonnage to and from the ore lands
which the road exclusively gets will
no doubt eventually have also to be
divided in the shape Of rights, stock
or extras Of some sort. What impresses
the financial mind rerhaDs more than
anything else as a result Of this dis
closure Of immense wealth underlying
the value Of Great Northern is the fact
that it calls attention to the large ac-
cumulated resources in the shape eth
err Of cash surplus, coal lands, mines,
subsidiary companies, steamships,
real estate, terminals, etc, the value Of
which, in the price Of stocks recorded
on the New York Stock exchange in a

as Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania, Can

Finley Darrell to Piper-The stock
market has worked itself down to the
bottom level again and is ready to
take a new lease Of life next week.
The banking interests permitted the
bears to have their innings today, care
fully watching, however, to- see that
they did not depress prices too far. It
certainly looks as tho the strong fnan-
cial interests were willing to let prices
sag off once in a while in order that
they, might accumulate more stocks,
a and knowing that they cannot keep the
list down for long. Despite the fact
that the bank statement was consid-
cred good. and even better than was
expected by some, the market closed
well down towards the bottom. Fear
OF whatSthe president will say in his
annual message to congress puts dam
per on general trading, but we believe
that any bear effort of this message
Will be discounted before it is deliv-
cred. We believe there will be a sharp
rally beginning some time Monday. ,'

Keep talking about it, The retail
grOcers of Youngstown (the city in
which do my marketing) are organic
ed into what they call the Retail
Grocers' Association. Recently they
held their annual banquet, and among
other nOtables present was J. II. Green,
president of the National Retail
GrOcers' Association. In an address,
among other things, he read a copy of
the parcels post bill. and condemned
vised the members to interview Con-
gressman Kennedy and have him
pledge himself to oppose the measure.
Two hundred congressman. he stated,
have already agreed to vote against
the bill, and they expected to secure
the pledge of many more. l wrote a
two column article i'm defense of the
parcels post to the daily paper in
which the address of President Green
was printed. In this article | asked
the grOcers to give me, through the
columns of this daily. the cause for
opposing so very StrenuOuSly this

why, please tell us why, do you oppose
it so? Echo still answers why?'
signed myself ''Only Hayseed." A
few days ago | saw the treasurer Of
the GrOcers' Association, a friend of
mine. l asked him whether he read
the article in the daily by "Only a

discussed it at our last meeting, but
decided not to reply; that article never
was written by a hayseed; we think
