his return from Chicago, where he has

ffrom the Rock Island at Kansas City. that
road had to agree to let the Rosenbau''
company have the use of the elevator rent

Something came to light in regard to
the relation of Shaffer a Co. with the
Rock Island. J. j. Stream of Shaffer & Co.
practically admitted on the stand that Mr..
Shaffer had sold his two elevators at South
Chicago to the Chicago Il Rock Island Ele-
vator company, otherwise the Rock Island
road, for $l,O0O,000, and the Information was
wrung from him that the elevators had
been rented back to the South Chicago
Grain company, otherwise Shaffer & Co.
at a nominal rental, This explains the
obligation of Shaffer & Co. to open an Office
in Omaha for the purpose of protecting the

Mr.. Stream stated that he had beer

Stockers and Feeders.

Chicago. May 31.-There has beer
no chance for improvement in the
market for stockers and feeders. Re-
ceipts are not especially large. but
the demand is so slack that it does
not take a great many to supply all
the wants of the market. For the past
two weeks the country demand has
been very limited. and local traders
have been greatly disappointed in the
volume of the business done. Pros
poets ahead are not encouraging, and
traders believe that the agitation will
have a tendency to make buyers more
conservative. Very few lockers We're
here Wednesday and those who did
show up declared that the prices of
the strictly good steers We're too high,
altoh they are lower than they We're
last week, and considerably down from
the high spot a month ago. There
does not seem to be much of a de-
mand for the common and medium
grades, altho they are selling at prices
which look to be worth the money.
Choice feeders are quotable up to
s475 or better, but lately most of the
fair to good feeders have sold at S4.25
m450, With the bulk of the 900 q 700
pound stockers at s3.50M3.S0.
