burst Of applause The principal
speakers were Governor Joseph w

the city Of New York The following
are extracts from Folks and TOwne's
speeches:

our prosperity TO Providence, not to a

Senator W J. Stone spoke in part
as follows:
Mr.. Roosevelt has done, or at

two or three things Of consequence,
deserving Of democratic support He
has urged upon congress the necessity
of enacting some legislation to pre-

in two or three instances, through
the department of justice, he has
made attacks upon unlawful cOmbina-

Securities and the beef trust That is

that went on feed late in the winter.
Bulk Of the steers today are weak TO
10 cents lover or 10 to 20 lower than
last Tuesday, cows and heifers about
better than steers today The run for
two days, yesterday and today is g.,
600 head.
The large percentage OF increase in
cattle receipts as compared with this
time last year is being increased rath-
er than diminished. Beef cattle were
scarce at this time last year, selling
at 1925 to 1915 for tOppy stun,
around 800 higher than present fig
ures. Cows and heffers Just now are

speech, but only what was to be eX-

defense of public men appeals strong

popularity and already comment and
abuse are heard where a year ago not

any individual inheriting over a GER

make more enemies in America, but
here, they say, the words do not sound
