Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, June 20.-For some reason
the country demand for stockers and
feeders has not been good this week,
and local dealers are getting more cat
tie on hand than they need. How
ever the week is young yet and there
are prospects that the outside demand
may get better. There were not many
stockers and feeders included in the
fresh supply yesterday and local deal
ers who bought freely the previous day
and did not sell many. were not anX-
ous to load up more extensively until
they could see better outlet There
are prospects also that the dry wealth
err will drive in good many cattle
of the stocker class, in which event
there is likely to be more supply than
demand. There was fairly good in
auiry for the desirable we'll bred feed
ers. but the light stockers are not
meeting with much favor from any
source. No doubt if there We're better
pastures farmers would feel more free
10 take hold The high price of corn
is another factor that is discouraging
some farmers from taking hold. Most
of the good feeders sold yesterday at
s4@450, with the light stockers at So
40M3.75.

Asheville, N. c., June 20.-Deceivea

bigamist, Miss Josephine Hood, a
Young woman prominent in Asheville
society, has not been heard from in
six months, and it is feared she was

Late last fall Miss Hood went to
New Iberia, La, where her mother was

man who gave the name of John c.
Cayendish and posed as a wealthy
Englishman. 1t vas learned that Miss
Hood was much infatuated with Cav
endish, who took her to Mexico, where
he said he had mining property. He
notified her friends that no messages
need be expected from them for eight
weeks but that after that time letters
might be sent in care of the American
consul at Vera Cruz. When the letters
were returned ard no messages came
from Miss Hood, her relatives became
alarmed and the fear was expressed
that bandits might have killed the
couple.
The chief of police of Asheville was
struck by the fact that Cavendish bore
the same name as the noted bigamist,
and sent "A photograph of the lord

No MORE IMMUNITY
Congress Makes An Attempt to
Change the Law On the
Subject
DUE TO HUMPHREY DECISION
Many Of the Lawmakers Believe the
Humphrey Decision in the Packers
Case Was Wrong, But Law Will Be
Made More Specific On the Question
of Immunity Of Witnesses.

Washington. June Gothic recent
failure to convict the beef packers in
Chicago of cor splracy under the inter-
state commerce law because of the
claim OF immunity set up by them ana
sustained by the court has given con-
gress no end of anxious moments.
With "A view OF enacting some law that
will remedy the defects from which the
government suffered by reason ~
Judge Humphreys decision the senate
passed a bill on the subject, when the
house has also passed, inserting an en-
tire new bill after the enacting clause.
Ii Will now go TO conference.
Referring to the criticism that has
been heaped upon Judge Humphrey
because OF the decision, Mr.. LittieieH
of Maine, in charge of the Din sa'e'
there was Justification for the declsioh
under the uncertainty that exists as TO
the law on the subject of immunity

commerce law and the law establish
ing the department OF commerce ana Ia
Dor. The house bin followed the lines
laid down by Attorney General Moody
in that case.
Explaining the provisions OF the
house measure. Mr.. Lttlefield said:
The house bill provides that immunity
shall be granted only to natural per-
sons who testify on oath i'll some pro-
ceeding authorized by the statutes or
in obedience to a subpoena to produce
evidence. documentary or otherwise,
and establishes ~ definite legal stand

termined by public record when and
to whom immunity has been granted.
1t also confines immunity to witnesses
on the part of the government. Under

CURRENCY REFoKr SOON.
Bankers of Leading Cities Making
Move for Early Action.

Move for Early Action.
New York June 2O.-The movement
for currency reform will be inaugural
ed in this city in positive manner
very soon. 1t will receive strong sup
port from the leading bankers of ST.
Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston
and all the great financial centers of
the country. 1t is understood the plan
will be formally announced from New
York and that APPROVAL will be signiiied
first from st. Louis and then stimuli
taneously from Chicago, Boston and
Philadelphia.
A prominent political economist has
called upon the most influential and
best informed financers of all the
dominating cities and the result OF the
personal visits is a general agreement
among conservative bankers for an i'm
provement in the currency system. The
movement for strengthening the gov
ernment's financial structure now has
such formidable Endorsement as to
give the impression that the laws Will
be enlarged sufficiently to include an
emergency elastic currency provision.
The bankers of the country generally
have agreed upon recommending a
supplemental law to authorize the is-
suance by national banks of elastic
currency to meet the conditions that
prevail in financial or trade emergen-
cies. The necessity of paying exorbi-
tant rates of interest for call loans and
even for time loans. such as existed or
was enforced In New York during last
spring and autumn, is deprecated by
conservative bankers. and for this rea-
son particularly they have decided to
advocate an emergency elastic cur
rency.

cattle ought to be higher the way hogs
and lambs are selling.
equality of hogs and irregularity OF
supplies are pretty sure pointers of the

said one Of the sellers who watches
conditions closely. Even in Mondays
run there was evidence that some
scraping up had been done to get ship

quality is again poor and country buy

DELAY RATE BILL REPORT.
conferees Make Slow Progress t
Avoid Another Lono Debate,

Washington, June 20.-t'rom present
Indications the cC'nferees on the rail-
road rate bill will not reach an agree
ment until some time next week,Which
in all probability will be the last
week of the session. The purpose OF
Withholding their report, it is said, is
10 avoid a repetition OF the long de-
bate in the senate which followed the
recent report of the conferees. This
debate resulted in sending the bill
back to conference.
Conversations conferees have had
with various members OF the state ana
house indicate that there are only
three amendments that are giving
trouble These are the pipe line
amendment, which makes pipe lines
common carriers the commodity
amendment and that which requires
that the interstate commerce commits
sion shall be given five days notice
before hearings are granted upon apph-
cations of injunctions setting aside or
ders of the commission.
Can Remedy Pipe Line Hitch.
The controversy over the pipe line
amendment can be, disposed of by the
change in the commodity amendment.
The change suggested would provide
that railroads instead of common car
riers" shall not engage in carrying
commodities which they produce. An
other objection to this amendment is
its application to lumber. Strong pro-
tests have been filed with the conferees
showing that if this amendment is adj
opted it will ruin number OF small
roads which were built for the sole
purpose of getting lumber to trunk
lines.
A new argument has been advanced
against the amendment requiring that
five days notice be given of hearings
for iniunctions Labor organizations
have demanded that a bill be passed
which would require that they be given
five days notice of injunctions to re-
strain them from engaging in strikes.
This is political argument which has
given much concern to the house con-
ferees.
May Drop Sleeping Car Clause.
There is a number of other amend-
ments on which agreements have not
been reached but which can be adj
justed early by the conferees. Among
these are the sleeping car and literal
branch line amendments. 1t MS expect
ed that the latter will be dropped out
of the bill and that the measure will
not be applied to sleeping cars. The
anti-pass amendment is in dispute but
it is said that an agreement concern
ing it can be reached by redrafting the
amendment so as 10 provide merely
that passes shall not be issued to mem
bers of congress, officials of the execu-
tive departments. presidential electors
and other classes over which the feder-
al government admittedly has control.

Chicago, June 0.-Cattle-Receipts

Strictly prime steers sold at steady

Grassy steers are being discriminate

such have been the hardest to move In
the past week while showing most de-

coming, and the rather small supply
of COW stock which arrives. traders
say, is the only bar to wider decline.
Hogs.
The market opened strong on the
belief that the run would only be rs
900, but later when this figure was
increased to $4,000, the market turned
weak, and prices shaded all the way
from 2h to 5. from the levels of the
previous close.
Buyers are discriminating more than
ever against grassy and big hogs
