Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CfTY, August 2, 1907- Cattle receipts this week are 55,000 head, a reduction of 15,000 head from the total last week, and the market has made advances on all kinds. Grass steers, including stock and feeding kinds have gained the most, prime fed steers also strong because of increasing scarci- ty, while cows and heifers are only d shade higher, calves a quarter higher. Range offerings have been confined to Kansas grazed stuff, few stock cattle from the pam handle, and panhandle calves. Wintered steers are bringing $5.35 to $6.l0, straight grass steers of good weights $4.65 to $5.25. light weight killing grass steers and rough horned cattle at $400 to $4.75. Cows $2.60 to $3.50, veal calves $4.00 to $6.0O. Stock steers range from $3.25 to $4.75, feeders $4.25 to $5.50, and country grades are considered 20 to 25 cents higher than a week ago. Inquiry from the country is in- creasing, and the supply this week below requirements. Pastures are fine all over Kansas and Missouri, and prospects for big corn crop are better each week. Nothing from Colorado has been here this week, although inquiries have been made as to what steers would bring here, and shippers were advised the Parsons beef cattle from Rifle would bring around SAYS here this week.
 Receipts of sheep and lambs con- tinue at a mi-imum figure, 14,0O0 here this week, containing only few range offerings Considerable numbers of sheep are being held on pastures near here, awaiting Improvement in eastern mutton conditions The local market has held up steady this week, low prices in the east not being felt here, as there is an outlet in the West for all that have been re- ceived here in the last two weeks. Lambs now sell at $6.50 to $7.5O, yearlings up to $625, wethers $5.75, ewes $5.50. These prices are higher per pound than are pre- vailing at Buffalo and Jersey City markets. J. A. RIcKART,

Commander Believes Success Is Ger.

New York. April 29.-Iack Of about
100000 to finance the expedition may
mean the abandonment Of the dash To
Robert Il. Poary has planned for this
summer. The explorer, who has
earned the distinction OF having
reached the farthest NORTH" and who
truly may be said to live for the pur
pose Of revealing to the world the
mysteries Of the pole itself, Is deeply
downcast at the possibility that he
may not be able to try again.
This Is a work which | must do, a
great work for which | was intended
said Commander Peary to the Asso
ciatcd Press. And with a confidence
that his work must be helped fron
somewhere, he added: "The money
will come; somehow | feel certain Of
that. But If | was only assured now.
what a relief 1t would be, and how ]
could concentrate all my energies ON
the details of the expedition. Remem.
Der, we were but TIA nautical miles
from the goal on our last trip. At
would be a pity indeed If we could not
try again
Poary wants to start from New York
the latter part OF June. His ship. the
Roosevelt, which proved her worth on
the last expedition, is now being pre-
pared for the next attack on the
northern ice fields. The great part OF
the $4,000 already subscribed will be
spent in repairing the boat, and $780,
600 more will be needed for general
expenses. The Pcary Arctic club is
caring largely for the retitting of the
Roosevelt, and it has issued an appeal
Tor contributions from the people OF
me country, so a total of 500. 900 may
be raised. The club feels, as does
Commander Peary himself, that the
people should share in the next expo
dition.
The Appropriateness OF permitting
The public school children Of the ma
ton to take part in the movement has
been suggested to Peary. II mot with
his approval. but he is in doubt as to
how such a program could be carried
out.
To this gigantic task vi discovery
Commander Peary implicitly believes
his fellow countrymen should lend
their interest and support and his alb
solute confidence that he had beer
assigned to attain the goal expresses
Lis conviction hat he will win.
Pcary says that if conditions are
favorable the objects of the expedition
might be accomplished in n season
but he might remain north as long a!
three years. He was preparing. h'
said, for a long and stern battle.

WILL FIGHT TWO.CENT FARE
Nebraska Railroads May Unite in Suit
Attacking Validity Of Law.

Lincoln, April 30.-A letter from
Union Pacific headquarters to the
state railway commission intimates
that the roads contemplate resistance
to the two-Cent passenger fare law.
The letter is in answer to an inquiry
from the commission asking why Ne
braska patrons were not being given
the benefit of the two-cent rate on
interstate travel. In reply to this the
Union Pacific says that the lawyers
for that line and others are seriously
disposed to unite in a suit attacking
the validity of the law. The letter
further says II is inadvisable 10 re-
arrange it's interstate passenger SEIZED
ulcs until the twO-cent fare laws OF
Iowa and Missouri take effect. There
Is q chance, the letter says, that two
cent fares may be declared unconsti'
t%utional, and it is, therefore, unwise to
change schedules at present.
The Armour Car Line company, in
a letter to the state railway commits
sion. declines to file its schedule of
rates. The commission has referred
the matter to the attorney general.
Most OF the railroads of the state
| have completed their rates schedules.

be granted a few days OF grace.

in Omaha are to the effect that p. w.
Snow, the famous statistician, who
has been touring the wheat region of
the southwest and west. %prOnounces
the general condition of wheat in this
state very good, but he agrees with
other grain meA that the crop needs
a good soaking rain, and that If the
rain does not come o o damage will
be done.
Mr.. Snow declares that the bug
which has been found in the Nebras.
ka wheat fields Is the aphis, or green
bug, which has done so great damage
to the growing crops of Texas, Kansas
and Oklahoma.
AT Beatrice and Hastings Mr.. Snow
put some of the bugs under the micro
scope, and he says there is no doubt
that they are of the aphis specie.
Thus far they have been found in
Thayer, Hamilton, Buffalo, Kearney
and one or two other counties in the
southern part Of the state.
The backward spring and cold
weather have damaged the oats crop
of Nebraska from ~ to Is per cent, it
| is estimated. and the condition Of the
crop is growing worse every day.
