| DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-Ths
market here last week was dull and not
very satisfactory. Receipts were about
. thousand less than the preceding
week, but demand was rather limited
for anything except the choice bsef
cattle. Strictly choice beef steers and
cows sold fairly well under a good de-
mand. although even these are little
lower than . week ago on account OF
the general decline. Common grades.
however, were slow and prices about
q quarter lower. Best steers brought
34.7O and prices ranged largely from
this down 10 $500. Some fancy hay
fed cows from Wyoming brought &4.65.
the highest price paid here for many
months. Other cows sold at $3.7b.
with most Of the better grades At $500
to $3.65. Good cows sold well and
are very nearly steady. but all others
are q quarter lower. Bulls were In
good demand and sold at strong prices.
Veals were also active and closed 1T
tie higher, tops selling at $6.75 during
the week. The feeder and stocker
trade was very dull. Eastern markets
report very light demand and deal
ers here were slow to take hold. as
most everything forwarded to other
markets lost them money. Prices are
Is to 25 cents lower than week ago.
The hog supply was fair. but pack
ers would have bought good many
more had they been here. Tops are
still selling around $6.15.
Sheep receipts have been very good,
but bulk were billed through to east
ern markets and merely stopped here
to feed. Several punches Of ewes were
offered and sold readily under good
demand at $4.75 to Sass, little
stronger than the proceeding week.
The demand for lambs is light here.

Eastern Freish. Reduction.

Chicago.-To anticipate action by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
representatives of western roads in
conference here have practically de-
cided upon fifteen per cent. reduction
on all classes OF freight. This is TO
apply on everything from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Missouri river and
down the Mississippi valley. 1t is said
these rates have not ben readjusted
for fifteen years. during which time
the population has become dense and
the roads would prefer the voluntary
action to probably more drastic reduc-
tions were complaints to be carried
into the courts. 1t is expected similar
action will be taken by western roads

Once an artist had a lovely grey

a fine Anrora cat called Fluff.

After that. each winter evening Di.
ana would lie on the floor before the
fire and FluiY would curl between his
paws in the cosiest manner.
Soon there came n new member or
the family-a little turtle-dove named
Coo-ee. Now. you know both dogs and
cats generally will try to kill a birdie,
so the artist was much worried how
his three pets would get along.
To make them friends he would
take Fluff and Coo-ee ON his knees at
the same time. and then call Diana
to lay his head beside them. In this
way the three soon learned to love
bne another, and soon each evening
the turtle-dove went to sleep with her
strange companions. just as you see

RESIGNATION IS ACCEPTED

crlsls comss at An Awkward Tlms
and May Embarrass Moroccan Con
fsrsncs Trouble 10 Over Anti
Church Crusade.
Paris.-Like bolt of lightning from
clear sky the Rouvier ministry was
defeated in the Chamber Of Deputies
Wednesday night and Immediately re-
signed.
The Cabinet crisis comes at a most
dramatic moment. when the Franco
German contest has reached a decis-
i've stage, and may exert an important
adverse influence on the Algeciras con-
ference and on European anatrs.
The defeat Of the government came
on q comparatively minor debate over
the church disorders. The govern
ment succeeded In holding only 23i
votes, while the various elements In
opposition-Clericals, Socialists and
Nationalists-united and polled 267
votes. thus placing the ministry In
minority OF 50.
Premier Rouvier. with all of his col
leagues. Immediately proceeded TO the
foreign office. where a joint letter OF
resignation was prepared. Later NJ.
Rouyier presented this letter to Pres
ident Fallieres, who accepted 1t. The
President announced his intention OF
consulting the presidents OF the Sen
ate and Chamber of Deputies to-mor-
row relative to the formation of a new
cabinet.
The debate In the chamber was on
the bloody riot yesterday during the
taking of an inventory OF church In
the village of Boeschepe, resulting In
the death OF manifestant.
Various orators severely criticised
the governments course. asserting
that Il threatened to precipitate re-
ligious warfare.
Premier Rouvier responded: THE
government has the duty to apply the
law. II will apply II without weak
ness. but also with the prudence. tact
and wisdom consistent with public
tranquility. ask the adoption OF
resolution approving these declara'
tions OF the government"
The resolution was thereupon put TO
n vote and defeated. The result was
due to q combination OF opposition In
4fiuences. The vote was more express
siye OF personal antagonism to the
ministry than opposition TO church IN
ventories.
Prior to the Cabinet crisis. the
Frunco-German controversy over Mo
'roccan control seemed TO be In the
balance, with the inclination strongly
toward an agreement. All depended
upon Berlin's last word. II this was a
frank concession OF n FrancoSpanish
policy without impossible conditions.
then agreement. was assured; but II
the concession involved further condt-
tions, France. whose pride was al
ready much aroused. was prepared to
reject 1t. The foreign oiiice stated the
situation as follows:
"The reported German concession
has not been communicated TO us. and
we are therefore unable definitely to
state what action may be taken
thereon. One thing. however. can be
stated with absolute positiveness.
namely. II the German concession OF
the police question is conditioned upon
international supervision II viii not be
accepted.Ss
II is generally believed that VI. Rou'
vier, until his successor is appointed,
will continue to carry on the same
policy.
