Sellers Today Had the Best Mar
ket For Activity, In Many
Weeks
IN HOGS WAS SLOW
Any Changes That Were Made in
Market, Were on Side of Declines,
as Packers Would Not Take Hold
and Local Demand for Shipping
Hogs Was Cut Down.

Chicago Oct 31.--Cattle Buyers
did not hesitate about buying the bet
ter sorts. and as early as S o'clock,
some OF the best native steers which
the market afforded, had been taken
at prices which looked 15c higher than
Monday, and full 25c above the level at
the close last week. 1t was the best
market for activity that the sellers
have had for MANY weeks. Packers
We're in the trade as early as the ship
pers, and there was a keen rivalry be-
es and energy displayed, lay in the
fact that receipts were again light,
Butcher cattle did not show the same
activity as steers, but were neverthe-
less in good demand and sold at steady
prices
The rangers have been coming poor
err for the past week and later arrivals
promise to continue of less attractive
grade than those here two weeks ago.
Absence of range offerings which will
compete with the fat natives should
brace up the trade in that line to some
extent tho the whole market now APP
pears greatly in need of chance to
recuperate from the bad effects of the
burdensome supplies landed here in the
past two weeks.
Hogs.
Packers would not take hold, and
representatives from the east said that
trade filled up. thus cutting down the
local demand for shipping hogs. The
market was no better, and after the
first round of buying, trade was slow
and any changes made were on the
side of declines. Receipts We're light
Sheep.
Sellers could not detect any marked
changes in the early market There
was good demand, but quality was not
such to attract buyers The general
market was steady

Furious Battle Raging Over
Control of'the Means of
Cleanliness
AMERICAN CAPITAL INTERESTED
Millions Said to Have Been at the Con-
venience of Millionaire Member Of
ParIiament-Grocers Will Fight the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Said to be
Badly Worried.

London, Oct. 31-Not since the AM
erican invasion of the British tobacco
market has the whole country been
plunged into such a state of agitation
as 1t is now over the attempt of Will
lam Lever. Nj. p, manufacturer of soap,
backed up, it is said, by some Ameri-
can millions, to form huge soap trust.
The battle RACES furiously between
those firms which have been prevailed
upon to join Mr. Lever on the one hand
and large number of other soap man.
ufacturers supported by the grocers, on
the other, who are furious.
Mr.. Lever in originating the COM
bination, tried to pose as public ben
efactor. He contended that enormous
amounts spent upon advertising and
the keen competition that prevailed les
sened profits and made soap deare:
than it ought to be. Therefore, he pro-
posed a combination which would re-
suit in cheaper soap to the public, ana
what does ne GO! NO sooner has TIC
obtained the support of some of the
most powerful soap making firms in
the country, than he raises the price
Of his soap and without warning re-
duces his pound Of siXteen-ounce bars
to fifteen ounces.
1t is observed as somewhat curious
that the moving spirit in this effort to
create gigantic monopoly should be
liberal member of parliament and an
ardent advocate Of free trade.
Mr.. Lever, like good many protec-
tionists, seems to believe in free trade
in every other trade but his own. He
has made an enormous fortune in le-
Ultimate competition with other soap
manufacturers, and it has been freely
remarked in the lobby of the house Of
commons that it is therefore all the
more surprising that he should now
seek to crush out his rivals, put down
the profits Of retailers and try to make
the public pay the price of a pound Of
soap for one ounce less.
Such a howl has followed this move
as perhaps never before has been heard
in trade. Grocers will not sell his soap
and the public will not buy it.
Grocers Will Fight.
The grocers are determined to fight
the combination to the bitter end, and
at the first clash of arms the trust
would appear to have been staggered.
Accustomed to think in soap, quite UNI
accustomed to the force OF public opin-
ion, relying entirely upon their s. r.
100000 capital and their thousand tors
of soap a day, the leaders of the soap
trust have been taken back by the ris-
ing public indignation at their attempt
to form corner in an article of daily
use in every household.
Detected in the fifteen-ounce trick
they have been forced to go back to
the full weight but they are now face
to face with temporary rise in the
price Of raw materials, which they
themselves engineered. At the present
moment they have not decided on a
plan.

Grundy Center, Oct. 31.-Potatoes

rate of five or six cars per day, and
anyone visiting the railroad yards will
see wagons standing in line awaiting
their turns to unload. The present es-
innate of the wealth brought into our
town alone for potatoes is $4,000.
f. w. Martz was seen driving into
town one day recently with two large
wagon boxes filed with honey. This

use of his land being taken from other
crops, and shows how people can make
our $500 land pay good dividend on
the investment.

CAN EARN MILLION HONESTLY.
Interesting Debate Between Sioux City
Pastors at Round Table.


Special to Times-Republican
Sioux City, Oct. 31.-In tiescourse of
debate between himself and r. H.
Brown, e. P. Farr declared before the
Round Table Club here, 1T is entirely
possible to honestly earn million dol
lars" He said further: IF one had
the presidents salary of $4,000 anil
should put it out at interest, in the
course of an ordinary business life he
would accumulate from $1,000,000 TO
$5000,0OO. Because of this, think no
inheritance or income tax ought to in
terfere with fortunes of $1,000,000 or
less"
The question for debate, was RE
solved, That the graduated inheritance
tax is preferable to the income tax for
the purpose of preventing the accumu-
lation of, or breaking up, large and
dangerous fortunes and preventing the
forma ton of a moneyed aristocracy."

moved with his family to Chicago,

that election districts could be consoIi-

suit of the vote
This delay and inaccuracy are con-
slant source OF expense, trouble and
anxiety. Election officers who work all
night claim and should be allowed dou-
bic pay, the public which wants to
time taken up and Its anxiety played
with by the unreasonable delay In get
ting the returns. The present system
of handling the elections is in efficiency
precisely as the stage coach to the rail-
way train. And while there has been
progress in every other form of active
human concern, the election processes
are just as of old save only In
the form of ballot 1t is high time that
progress were allowed TO help In this
az I'm other human affairs tho voting
machine has in other communities come
to stay And 1T should he so in Salt
Lake.
