South Omaha. Nov. 6, 1906
The cattle trade during the past
week has been practically without
feature. buyers taking all desirable
grades of killing stock and feeders
at fully steady rates. but showing
strong dislike to the common, habitat
stock. and taking off 10 to Is cents
per cwt. on that class. Yesterdays
receipts were heavy, between $1,000
and 10000 head. and Influenced by
weak reports from all points trading
here was lower-low to 10 cents lower
on steers, cows declining 10 to Is
cents and feeders 10 cents off on any
thing but the best. Today's run is
light, and all classes of killing cattle
are moving readily at fully steady
prices, but in the absence of country
buyers, who are remaining at home
today to cast their vote for the affairs
Of county and state. our feeder trade
is little slow. The balance of the
week does not look at all unfavorable
for steady prices; we do not look for
any very heavy runs. and we have
reason to expect much better
country inquiry. Quotations on the
basis of today's trading are as fol-
lows: Good to choice corn-fed steers
$3.50 to s6.l5; fair to good $500 to

at SIS. 95 to 5000. with a top Of s6.O5.
Chicago reported little strength at

Seems Never to Have Played.
From his boyhood Mr.. Stratus seems
to have been prodigiously busy man.
Many Americans who rise to high place
find plenty Of time to loaf around and
tell stories-Abraham Lincoln, for in
stance. Though by no means an aus
tere ascetic, Oscar Straus seems never
to have played. On the other hand,
he has not had time to stand on. the
housetops, point to himself and tell
other men how to succeed. He got
right down to business ve.'y early in his
career and stuck there. That he has
been called out from time to time to
undertake an important service for his
country is due to the fact that the Off
cial watchers ON the towers have dis
covered Ills capabilities.
Henry Ward Beecher was one of the
first prominent men to see something
in Straus. The great preacher wrote
to President Cleveland, urging the APP
pointment of MI. Straus as minister to
Turkey, and in that letter lie made

sit is because he is a Jew that l
would urge his appointment as Il tit
