Cattle MARKET SLOW
Offerings Lacked Quality, Altho
Butcher Cattle Brought Gen
orally Steady Prices
RETIREMENT IN HOG MARKET
Sellers Were Enabled to Dispose of
Holdings To Better Advantage,
and There Was General Distribution
of Buying Among Various Glasses
Prices Steady For Sheep.

Chicago, Oct 25.--Cattle-The mar
ke1 was slow and draggy, with sellers
the solicitors, and buyers showing in
difference. Most of the sellers thought
the trade showed very little change.
1t was quality which was lacking.
Butcher cattle were in liberal supply,
and moved slowly, tho at generally
steady prices. Since Monday, the mar
ket for natives declined 15@25c.
There was no general improvement
in the last end OF the market yester-
day. In some quarters there We're
statesmen who claimed they could not
do nearly as well as during the mid
die hours. The shippers and exporters
had become pretty well loaded up with
cattle and lack of keen liberal demand
from these quarters hurt the tone Of
the late trade. =,
A goodly number of the last arrivals
did not find sale. while there was a
fair supply of those getting in after
the noon hour, which did not suit the
buyers favor at the prices demanded
by the salesmen. The whole trade suf-
fered under burdensome supplies and.
as was feared yesterday, there was
nothing in the demand which afford
ed any but weak and unsatisfactory
selling basis.
Big marketing of $500 in the first
half of this week following the enor-
nous supply a week ago has swamp
ed the beef channels badly and relief
is now needed in the shape of more
conservative marketing.
Hogs.
better tone enabled the seller 10
dispose Of holdings to a better advan-
tage Gains of 5m10c were reported or
the early market, and there was gener-
al distribution OF buying among the
various classes of buyers, which made
the betterment appear even more pro-
nounced than it was. Packers bought
packing grades freely.
Sheep.
Demand for sheep and lambs was
good enough to hold prices steady, with
a few better class offerings showing
strength. The quality of range lamos
was poor.

TENDER 5, when best sold OF S6.40
Fat cows steady. Gamers slow and
weak. Low grade ones almost inn
possible to sell.
II am not preaching cheap hogs dur
ing the coming winter" said Charles
Cooper, buyer for the National Pack
ing Company, but the market is on a
basis a little too high to go into the
packing season, and / look for grad
ual ascent to a NC basis, but some
time will be needed to do it. BY the
time the winter crop begins moving
and the range is narrow, my opinion
is that the bulk will sell closer to 514c
than any other price. 1t is merely a
question of receipts. When the hogs
come, prices will break and eventually
they must come
with the bulk of lambs here yes
terday selling fully 25c higher than at
Buffalo and the eastern mutton mar
kets clogged there is reason for even
lower prices than prevailed yester
day., remarked one of the big buyers.

heavy burden in my pocket until 1 replaced it in
the little box in my mothers upper drawer.
Il believe my mother only laughed when l told
her about it, She explained that the coin d
foreign cne and could not be used in this country"
Then you did not get the cake after ALL" said
the little girl, drawing a long breath.
oh no! L told you L did not get even a half
pennys worth out of the story"
Perhaps that is the moral Perhaps you were
punished that for taking the half penny with
out leave" suggested the little girl, who was used
to moral tales, and considered a story unfinished
unless some appropriate lesson was drawn.
Perhaps sol" said the story teller thoughtfuly.
I'm sure L suffered enough during that converse
tion I've been in some unpleasant situations since,
that I've forgotten all about but never shall for
get my uncomfortable feelings while l tried to ex-
plain the cake and half-penny problem to the Ger
man ba1eress. 'Bakeress' sounds well, doesn't it?
And here's another point never have been able
TO decide. Was the problem really too hard for
her and did she think talking nonsense? Or
did she not know English enough to understand
me and die she think trying to cheat her FOR
was the whole affair just punishment on me for
being greedy and avaricious? Or
Mercy" exclaimed the little girl, Seems to me
you thought an awful lot about that half-penny!"
L believe 1 did, my dear; but I'm giving you too
much for your money now! Run out and skip
rope! I've got work to fnsh!"-Independen

MATTIEs MISSIONARY HEN.

Father said little Matte Stevens one day in
the early spring time, 81 want a missionary hen;
will you give me one?"
"a missionary hen!" echoed Mr. Stevens mis-
chievousy, what kind of a hen is that? 1 was
not aware that hens ever became missionaries"
"Oh father, you know what I mean well enough
A money hen, of course"
"A money hen! Worse and worse. wish
had a lot of such hens. L have heard of a goose
that laid golden eggs, but never of a hen made of
money; that is new thing under the SUM- What
does it look like daughter? Gold silver or conner
which?"
Oh mother, just do listen father Isn't he
awful? He's tangling my meanings all up Why
OF course, you know father. 1 want hen to Law
eggs so that can sell them and have money for
missons that's what mean. Now do you under
stand?"
"Oh yes, certainly; it is all straight now All
right, you may have old Croker; she has been in
the egg business a good while and understands it
pretty thoroughly. I advise you to keep an eve
upon her, however; she has very decided opinions
Oh her own, and will outwit you if you are not
very clever indeed. I believe, unless am very
greatly mistaken, that Croker is far more inclined
to contribute to home than foreign missions"
"Oh, father! AS if a hen knew single thing
about the heather missionaries. She doesn't
