FOR ESSAYS
UNITED STATES MINISTER BAR
RETT OF BoGoTA ENLiSTS
AID OF PRESIDENT.
Outlines of Competition for Best Pa
pers on Latin American Subjects,
To Be Awarded by Committee
Named for Purpose, Money in
Hands of President of Columbia.

Hon. John Barrett, United States
minister to Colombia, writes to
President Frederick Monroe Tisdel Of
the University of Wyoming under date
of March "a, outlines a competition
for the best papers or essays on Latin
American subjects for three prizes,
500, SIS and $50, the essays to con-
sist of o to exceed 10000 words,
typewriter, and mailed or delivered
to some express company not later
than September /, 1906, addressed to
the president Of Columbia university,
New York, to whom Mr.. Barrett mail
ed a check of $225, to be divided into
the three prizes. The prizes will be
awarded by a committee of judges
chosen for the purpose, and he re-
suits will be announced through the
public press as soon after October l
of this year as practicable. Mr.. Bar
rett adds:
open to All Students.
"As the first competition was con-
sidered by some persons as too re-
stricted in that it included only stu
dents in the regular collegiate course
of our colleges, l would recommend
that this year it be open to all STU
dents actually matriculated in any
American college or university, includ-
ing post graduate and special courses.
1t was also suggested that the title OF
the subject last year was o sufficient
" specific, and made it difficult for
intending competitors to decide on
what phase thereof they should write.
Subject to Be Chosen.
81 therefore give ten different ub-
jects, any one of which may be treat
ed by the competitor. There are di-
vided into two classes, the first OF
which bears directly or indirectly on
the relations of the United States with
the Latin republics, while the second
is confined largely to the historical
and political development of Latin
America without reference to the
United States.
Il am writing to you as the presi-
dent of the University of Wyoming, in
hope that your students may try for
these prizes. In the last competition
many excellent papers were submitted
by students of universities in the far
western states. The variety of sub
jects named gives any student who
wishes to compete an opportunity to
do his best

TONE TO
THE BEEF TRADE
HAD STRENGTHENING EFFECT
ON HEAVY STEERS SUITABLE
FOR FEEDING PURPOSES.
Some Demand for Grazing Kinds and
Little Difference in Price as Con-
Germs the Weight-CIay, Robinson
G. Company D o Not Look for
Downward Move for Few Weeks.

Special to The Republican.
South Omaha, Neb., May CLAY,
Robinson & Co., in their review of the
market here, give out the following:
There has been but a moderate of
fering of hay-fed cattle during the past
week, supplies being made up princi-
pally of stockers and feeders. There
was an improvement of Is to zoe in
the beef trade over the week previous.
This had a strengthening effect on
the heavy steers suitable for feeding
purposes, and they sold stronger TO-
the week. There has has been good
inquiry during the past two weeks for
the light cattle suitable for grazing
purposes, and there is little difference
now in price as concerns the weight.
Some Price Quotations.
Good Il choice steers of all weights
are selling at $4.25 to $3.50; fair to
good kind, $3.50 to s4.25. it would
take good hayfed COWS to bring above
the 81 mark. Good to choice heavy
steers fit for slaughter would undoubt-
eddy command in the neighborhood of
$3.50 to S4.75, but packers are buying
"a pretty fair class of corn-fed steers
all the way from $3.50 to s475.
Inadequate Supply for Demand.
There is every appearance of good
Inquiry during the spring months,
more particularly for the light and
medium weight stock cattle. There
has been inadequate supply for the de
mand the past two weeks, but prices
are comparatively high People gen
orally are looking for a little drop,
but we do not believe the supply will
be of heavy enough proportions To al
low of any break during the coming
three or four weeks.
