proper trackage facilities. and easy ac-

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards-The
market ruled very quiet here all last
week. as receipts were light. Demand
was strong for anything desirable and
good beef steers and choice killing
cows sold Arm TO a little higher. Com
mon and medium cattle OF all kinds
were dull and market generally 10 to
Is cents lower on these, with Instances
fully a quarter of. A bunch of choice
corn-fed steers sold late Friday at
$5.25. the high price of the week. with
others at $50, and prices on the good
kinds ranging from this down to $3.50.
The first North Park grass and hay
fed steers of the season arrived and
cold at s4.s5 to $500 These were in
good flesh OF good quality. Cows were
In strong demand II good and prices
on the better grades ruled firm. Com
mon cows, however. and especially the
grassy kind. were very dull. Best
corn-feds sold at $4.15, and bunch of
choice corn-fed heifers brought s4.70.
A few North Park cows went at $500

Bulls ruled about steady and little
change in the market on veals. Bulk
of the veals here went at $4.75 to $3.50.
Feeder and stocker supply was very
light. as was also the demand. There
was hardly enough stun here to test
the strength of market, but the feeling
is decidedly weak. Eastern demand Is
very light and prices lower.
Supply of hogs was fair. but demand
strong and everything offered sold at
prices fully as high and In some cases
higher than at the river. Tops are
now quoted around s6.65, or about a
dime higher than a week ago. A fea-
ture of the trade was the realization
OF cents for top hogs at Chicago on

H ~cAULlFLowER.

OF the word "caulilower" a
writer in the London Chronicle
says: "The modern spelling is ar
tifcial, and if we we're to write it as
we pronounce it, 'collyffower,' we
should be taking a step back in the
natural direction. sColeforye,' as
they spelt it in the sixteenth CEN
fury, brings out the true meaning
of the vegetables name, fowered
cabbage'-'cole' being an old word
for cabbage and 'iorye' represent
ing the French tfori' or 'feuri,'
lowered. But because in Latin it
was called scauli1ora' it began to
be written 'colieflorie' or Scollyforie'
in English, probably by deliberate
assimilation to the Latin, and event
nally even to be written 'cauli,'
though still pronounced scolly.'
Meanwhile the second part of the
word got popularity corrupted to
flower"

Prohibition Not elf-Oovernment
The "prohibition" sentiment
se emingly developing moro and

consideration. The prohibition"

"prohibition" Objectionable to
