Receivers Will Remain.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-A can
vass of opinion of members of the
senate and house public lands COM
mittees makes it reasonably certain
that favorable action will not be
taken at this session of congress upon
the recommendation of the secretary
of the Interior that positions of receiv-
ers of public land Offices be abolished.
The view taken of the matter on both
committees is that the saving in e
pense by abolishing this office would
be inconsiderable and would result in
placing the duties of receivers in the
hands of civil service clerks without
the responsibility which is exacted of
receivers appointed by the president.

That Feeder Buyers Are Taking
Short-Fed Corn Cattle for Want Of
Western Feeders-Prices Some
Higher Than Last Week.
Special to The Republican.

South Omaha, Neb., Feb. 13.-Clay,
the condition OF the stock market here:
Receipts of hay-fed cattle were mod
crate last week. Trading was gener-
ally active and stronger, as there was
very good inquiry all week for stock
ers and feeders. Prices at the close
were 1O@15c higher for the week on
practically everything in the steer line.
Good heavy 1eshy feeders are selling
at the present time at S4.O0@S4.50;
fair to good $3.65 @$4.OO; good light
and medium cattle s3.9O@$4.25; fair to
good S3.5O@$3.9O. Very few steers are
received that bring n more for beef
purposes than for feeders. Something
$4.4O04.65. There is also very good
inquiry for butcher stock n good
kinds of COWS and heifers are selling at
SO OO@S.5
During the last Week up to today
feeder buyers have been taking on
some of the short-fed corn cattle on &C
count of the limited number of western
feeders. These have been selling at
Is435@475. A considerably larger
number of hay-fed cattle could be taken
care of, n we expect to see the de
mand hold good for quite a while to
come.
