SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK.

Cattle receipts for the week foot up
close to $500 head or 100 more than
last week. Supplies were quite heavy
Monday and Tuesday, but dwindled
down to q few hundred head by the
close of the week. Stockers and feed:
ers comprised the big share Of the Of
ferings and the trade opened on Mon
day with brisk demand at prices 100
15c higher than the close Of last week.
Good heavy feeders were in demand,
selling at $4@4.35, while the s00@1, 200
of the steer supply found good outlet
good, sold at $3.50@3.75. The light
stockers and yearlings of inferior quail
ty found only fair outlet at $4,000

deney Of the market was lower and by
Wednesday the earlier advance was
about lost and on anything not strictly
desirable the market ruled slow and
dragging. The country demand was
slack and spectators had to resort to
good deal Of peddling in order to effect
a cleanup.
In killers demand has been greater
than the supply and while there was
decline was regained later and the mar
ket ruled fully as good as at the close
Of last week. Native cows sold at
$2.25M3.25, with Nebraska range cows
at $2.75@3.40. The South Dakota
range cows sold at $2.7503.35. Dry
fed beeves were scarce with sales from
$4.75 to $3.50. Dakota Texans sold at
$3.80@425.
Light receipts resulted in higher
values and the week closed with hogs
selling at the high point. The fact
that hogs are selling 81 higher than
last year at this time, and the advance

The 500 IS development and prosper

The all essential train-mile profit in
creased 35 cents. Freig ht rates, how
| ever, jumped 90 per cent This higher
rate alone last year increased net earn
; lngs $l,600,000. This amounts to just
"a cents per train mile. In other words,
had there been no increase in rates re-
ce1ved, train-mile profits would have
virtually stood still. The advance in
train-rn mile. profits, therefore. may be at
tributed wholly, not to higher oper-
ating standard, but to the higher rates
received. Evidently the 500 line has
an opportunity to put a heavier load
on each train it moves, thereby :decreas-
ing train mileage and, conversely, in
creasing the all-essential train mile
profits.
OF course the increase in rates does
not mean sthat.it costs more to ship a
!! ago. It means that traffic has become
more diversified with the development
Of the northwest; that, while lumber,
a low grade freight, made up 80 per
cent Of freight traffic five years ago,
today it forms but SO per cent Of
freight traffic. Meanwhile there has
been a corresponding increase in gen.
eral merchandise and other -high-grade
freight. This is what pushed the aver
age rate up.
The progress of the 500 has been re:
markable. It appears to have reached
q point today where net earnings must
! fall of fully 40 per cent before its
common dividends can be ieopardized.
