Chicago. Oct. 16-There were too
many cattle on the market today and
the quality was not sufficient to hold
prices. which were steady for best, but
a shade lower for others.
Conditions are unfavorable for pros
poets of any material reaction In the
medium and plain classes HeaVy
liquidation Of plain medium and haif
fat warmed up steers by feeders who
are reluctant to buy high priced corn
has thrown the trade into poor shape
during the past two weeks, but there
seems no let up of big marketing in
sight right away Indications today
point to another liberal run tomorrow
and later this week both IN the native
and range trades
Naturalization of big supplies again
in later days this week can only pfinS
about a further weakened condition OF
the market as beef channels are now
heavily loaded and beef consumption Is
not broad enough to afford a free
movement of slaughterers' holdings in
the Immediate future While the
warmed up grades may be returning
feeders fair profits on their invest
ments, there should be better results
attained if the cattle We're fed nearer
to maturity.
Feeder buyers are chiefly after the
weighty kinds and light steers are
meeting very poor call at the lowest
prices noted this fall.
Hogs.
Despite receipts of $4,000 hogs. the
market was steady, with little varia-
ton In prices compared to the close
yesterday.
Doubtless the sharp bulge last week
was the magnet, but it brought lot
of western hogs here because Chicago
got so much out of line with markets
out that way. This break will UNI
doubtedly check the marlietward move
ment and in all probability restore
some of the depreciation effected dur
ing the past three days.
Sheep.
Sheep receipts We're large. estimated
at 10000, but the demand was good
and the market held steady.

LUSlTANlA'S WAR VALUE.
That Vessel and the Mauritania Could
Carry Army of 10000.

Berlin, Oct. 15.-Naval officers here
say they look upon the Sunard line
steamer Lusitania as being capable of
transporting 10000 troops from Eng
land to the continent, so that the Lus-
itania and her sister ship, the Maui
retania, could carry an expedition Of
20 900 men. They add that, as all the
officers Of the two vessels and half the
crews are members of the British nav
5al reserve, the vessels could be taken
over by the government and placed in
the service of the admiralty in very
short time.
Technical men. however appear to
regard the steamers as being too large
for use as auxiliary cruisers.

Hold His uperior'S Nose.
(Cornhill Magazine.)
Strange duties fall to the lot OF staff
officers on service.
The late Sir Archibald Alison, who
was connected with the Ashanti eNpe-
ditioi in 1S73 suffered from the ma!ar-
ious climate, and was ordered to take
specific dose which, altho probably
most salutary, was certainly rather
nauseous
His aio-de camp handed it to him,
and advised him to hold his nose in
taking u.
.'But, my dear fellow, how can I;:'
said Sir Archibald, pointing to his
empty sleeve.
Don't let that stand in the way.
SIR replied the aid-de-can1p, and re-
spectfully selling his generals nose he
held 1t until the dose was swallowed.

Within the past year there has been
a decided exodus from the government
service. The old-time situation when
bright minds turned toward "a governs
ment Job" is now thing Of the past
and in some instances the governments
is forced to advertise to have positions
filled which in former years were Gag
erly sought. 1t is true that there is
always a good list of eligibles on hand
who have passed examinations, but
many of these decline appointments
because of openings in business life
that assure them of better pay and
