CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

Chicago. Dec. 7.--tATTLE-There
was little on the market today in the
line of steer offerings TO attract the
attention Of buyers. The open market
has been good this week considering
the fact that the trade has had a
chance to make selections from show
offerings. The bulk of the steers do
not show much change for The week.
Probably all the cattle good enough
to bring $3.50 or over are nearly
steady as compared with the prices
of a week ago. only the common sorts
ruling weaker. Butcher cattle were
steady this morning and are now
l0m20 cents lower than a week ago.
HOGS The market opened strong
on good speculation and the local de-
mand and early run were about ;
cents above those of the previous day
Later the packers relaxed their RI
forts and the market receded to the
levels Of Thursday
SHEEP-The demand centered in
the better class OF sheep and lambs
but as there was only a small per
centage of the Sc sorts the buyers
had to be content with the lower
grade Later. however. it was no bet

Kansas City Southern Boycotts
River Freight.
MUSKOGEE THE CHIEF VICTIM.
Is Forced to Join Other Railroads
Which Will Not Accept Ship
mentS Via Ark. River.

Kansas City, Mo.-The Kansas City
Southern railroad has notified shippers
that it will not hereafter receive freight
billed to Muskogee via the Arkansas
river.
This adds the Gulf route to the list
of roads that have declared boycott
on the River Navigation Company,
which threatens to place Muskogee on
a water rate basis, and force the rail
roads to come to it. The Kansas City
Southern does not run into Muskogee,
but was handling good deal of freight
from Muskogee to Redlands, to which
point the freight was carried by the
boats on the river. Redland is 100
miles down the river from Musko-
gee.
The Kansas City Southern was fore
ed to declare the boycott by other
roads which it had traffic arrangements,
because they threatened to route freight
elsewhere, IL that road continued to
recognize MuskOgee as water town.
Inc result mas been call Tor meet
ing of the transportation and trade ex.
tension committee of the Muskogee
Commercial Club, and, at the same
time, a call is issued for meeting of
every man in Muskogee who handles
freight of any kind.
1t is understood that this is a move
on the part of the business men to place
the freight business of the town, as far
as possible, under one head, and to re-
frse to ship over any road that is in the
boycott.
There are roads that will assist in
this matter, and, while the plans of the
freight men are secret, it is believed
that they have scheme to bring the
railroads to time.

THE SAME %CAME.
The Democrats Are Trying to Work
Through on Tariff Re-
vision.

It must be apparent to intelligent
observers that the noise about tariff re-
vision is in substance and purpose a
piece of Democratic free-trade strategy.
The Dingley tariff continues to work
we'll. Customs receipts are decreasing.
The government for January
exceeds expenditures by several mil
lions. Probably there will be a small de-
felt again this year, but no occasion ex-
lists for ~far-reaching legislation on that
point. The treasury has kept nearly
even, though meeting heavy naval ex-
p%enditures and the cost of current OPP
erations at Panama and setting apart
for irrigation the money received from
land sales in the arid states and terri
tories. AS the treasury is almost
balanced in income and outgo, the pres
sure for tart ffrevision can only be ex-
planned as the same old free-trade rack
ct. That it should present itself unde!
various DISCUSSES is an acknowledgment
that it knows itself to be justly discred'
tied, and that its identification with
hard times Is too clear and positive to
admit of it offering itself simply and
candidly on its merits.
