WEEKS SUPPLY
WAS NOT LARGE
WESTERN HAY-FED CATTLE ARE
SOMEWHAT SCARCE ON
THE OMAHA MARKET.
Demand for All Classes Of Stockers
and Feeders Was Urgent and
Prices Have Gradually Worked
Hisher-Good Killing Steers Sell
as High as Four and Halt Dollars.

South Omaha, Neb., Jan. 3O.-Clay,
Robinson & Co. thus summarize the
market conditions at this place:
The supply Of western hay-fed cattle
has been moderate the past week.
Some very good classes have been in
cluded in the receipts, which have
been taken up eagerly. The demand
for all classes of stockers and feeders
has been urgent, and prices have
gradually worked higher, an advance
of 15@25c being noted during the past
week. The feeder inquiry has also
helped out on the better INT feshier
purposes. Last week choice feeders
weighing 1000 to LOO pounds sold
up to $40, a very good class selling
around S4.10@4.25, with the common
er classes around s3.75Q4.OO. The
supply Of yearlings is light and m
thing good on this order would sell
around $500.
There is also very good call for hay.
fed butcher stock, n while supplies
of this character have been moderate,
trading has held up at a strong figure
as compared with the native corn-fed
classes. Good kinds of cows and heif-
ers are selling at s3.OO@3.5O. Good
killing steers have sold as high as
$3.50, but anything to bring this price
would have to be real good.
Indications are for only a moderate
supply of native corn-fed beef steers
during the winter, and with the good
competition that a be expected from
the native buyers for feeders, indica-
tions seem quite favorable for tho
western man who has hay.fed cattle
to offer during the winter and spring
months. We expect to see good In
quiry right along and anticipate
stronger prices a little later on.

FREDERICK THE EIGHTH PRO-

Ceremonies Occurred on Public
Square in Front of Palae
Presence Of Fifty ThousandlePee@
Pile, Who, Mourning the DEAD
kir=. oneered the Livins-Min-
listers Asked to Retain Portfolios.

Copenhagen, Jan. 30.-At moor to-
day Frederick the Eighth was formal
ly proclaimed king of Denmark, on
the public square in front of the pal
ace, before 10000 people, who, mourn
ing the death of King Christian the
Ninth, hur-ahed the ascension of his
eldest son. The first official act of the
new king was to ask his fathers min
listers to retain their posts.
The new king of Denmark, who as
.cended the throne in his ed year,
bears the weight of his years lightly,
and is almost as popular with the peo-
pie of Denmark as was his father.
BY the wish of his parents he was
brought up with great simplicity, and
his earlier education was obtained at
the town grammar school, for not I'M
til he vas 10 years old was the difficult
question of his fathers succession to
the Danish throne finally settled. 1t
was Frederick's curious fate to see his
younger brother and his own son be-
come ~reigning monarchs of Greece and
Norway respectively, while he himself
was still an heir apparent.
The new king has been highly pop
ular since his earliest youth. His bear,
ing is stately and his manner quiet. He
is noted for his culture, and possesses
many foreign distinctions. While sci
dom Identifying himself with political
questions, he has taken an active part
in all public movements and is a con,
slant attendant at all important de,
bates in the riksdag. He is chancellor
of the Copenhagen university and head
of the Free Masons of Denmark, and is
well known as a promoter of all philan-
thropic objects.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The railroad
rate bill made its appearance in the
house this morning, when Representa-
tive Townsend of Michigan addressed
the house and in an hours talk open
ed the debate that is likely to last for
a week. Mr.. Townsend elucidated ev-
cry phrase of the rate making problem,
and described in detail the terms of
the Hepburn bill.
The most important of the ten sec
tons of the Hepburn railroad rate bill,
consideration of which was begun in
the house today, and which will be vot-
ed on a week from today, is section
four, which confers power on the inter-
state commerce commission 20 estab-
fish a just, reasonable and fairly re-
munerative rate, to be thereafter OBJ
served in such cases as the maximum
TO be charged. The commissions or
ders shall go into effect in thirty days
and remain in force three years, unless
modified OR set aside by the commits
sion or "by a court of competent juris-
diction." The power to initiate rates
is not given.
Startling charges were made by Rep
resentative Townsend in the house to-
day in opening the debate on the Hep
burn railroad bill. He declared the op-
position had e~ndeayored to discredit
the administration i%n%yafious matters
in order to distract attention from the
railroad question" The speaker pre-
dicted delay whenever possible In the
vain hope that something will happen
to prevent final action" He spoke of
the rich and powerful lobby" of 'un-
warranted interference with the peo-
Pies rights me of "dictation to legis-
latures by corporations" He warned
them that to further oppose rate legis.
