Urgent call from all sources, conse-

closing sales showing largely l5(02oc
advance, compared with last week. In
stances of 35@5Oc gain were noted IN
the middle days Of the week, when
demand was keenest, altho this big gain
disappeared toward the close. Receipts
were only 10000, against 59,l72 last
week and 1,640 year ago. Severe
pounding Of values in the previous
week checked marketing and only $500
cattle came for the opening day. Elk
porters have been active buyers and
big demand from this source proved the
chief stimulus to trade. There is a
widening outlet in local quarters, how
ever, and the trade gives every 1ndI-
cation of holding up well under mod
crate marketing. =.
Hogs advanced again, best kinds
reaching $3.50, the highest in nearly
three months. Packers tried to hold the
market down, but it was. a runaway
affair and from present indications val
ues promise to stay comparatively high.

and about 6Oc higher than two years

that highest prices in 1906 viii be
reached during the first quarter.

landed here this week and prices

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

/ The cattle market this week has been
of the fuctuating kind, and this ap-
plies to both stocker and fat cattle
trade. In stockers the market Monday
ruled fully steady with last week s
best time, but on Tuesday and Wednes-
day prices dropped 15@25c and trade
was very slow and dragging. On the
closing days Of the week there was
a decided Improvement and the entire
decline was fully recovered, with sales
eTery pr w of poo at active trade
the coming week, if weather conditions
continue favorable, as the dealers have
made a good clearance in their divis,
ion. Good 800 and 1,10O-pound steers

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

Receipts of livestock at the South st.
Paul market for the past week totaled
1879 cattle, 42S calves, 1858 hogs and
6,529 sheep, compared with ], 1853 cattle,
224 calves, 1923 hogs, go sheep the
preceding week, and 2,746 cattle, 1853
calves, 23,171 hogs, and 24,249 sheep.
in the corresponding week last year.
Receipts of cattle have been rather
light. There were number of fairly
good beef steers on sale, but the pro-
portion of this class was limited, and
not equal to demand. Good to choice
finished cattle are in strong request
here, and ready outlet is assured for
offerings. Choice steers are quoted up
enough to sell over $3.50, tho 1925 was
readily paid for anything of right
weight and quality. Prices advanced
10 to 25c during the week, in sympa-
thy with gains at other markets. Val
ues are now about the same as before
the holidays. Veal calves have been
Esteady during the week, and bulls
have been strong, as compared with
last week. -
+ The stocker and feeder market
showed much improvement over the
/ preceding week, when, owing. to, the
holidays, country customers were
scarce. There was good attendance
Of buyers, and they were after the
choice cattle. There was lively bid:
ding, and as result, sharp advances
were noted. Light cattle were in good
demand, and steers averaging around
800 and 900 pounds sold up to $3.50
which was fully 25c higher than fol
some weeks back. Yearlings also ad
vanced, being, in some instances, $50
higher than the preceding weeks fig
ures. Heifers sold about 25c higher
Feeding steers were in good demand
:, with share selling from $3.50 to 1915
The bulk, however, went around 1925
], There was a scarcity Of feeders, ano
this class was not tested to such ar
extent as the stoekers. Prices were
strong to 25c higher. Feeding bulls
The hog market has been in very
satisfactory condition thruout the
week. With the exception of TEN
porary setback, prices were on the VI
grade most of the time, with result thai

of S to 1Oc, the gain was taken of
"Wednesday, only to be again added OF
Thursday. Another advance Of 10 tt

week. On Friday the market ruled

in number, says Dunn g Review, with
assets Of $57 $4,000 and liabilities of

PUZZLE IN BANKING

A banker found a $40 bill on the
street. He took the number in order to
find the owner. While at home his wife
remarked that the butcher had sent in
a bill amounting to $40. The only
money he had with him was the bill he
had found, which he gave. to her and
she paid the butcher. The butcher paid
it to a farmer for calf and the farm
paid it to a washerwoman, and she,
owing the banker note for $40, went
to the banker and paid the note. The
banker recognized the bill as the one
he had found, and which, up to that
time had paid $50 of debt. On careful
investigation he discovered that the
bill was a counterfeit. What has been
lost in this transaction, and by whom7
