OUR SPECIAL MARKET LETTER

OUR SPECIAL MARKET LETTER
Notes on this weeks Kansas city stock
market written for the RDELBoroR By J. r.
Van Worst Of the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas ON. Coil
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Nov. 12.-There
was too many killing steers offered
on today's market for the demand and
as Chicago wired . 20 to6Oc lower
cattle market, this had q depressing
influence on buyers here, and II was
after 10 O'Clock before the packer
buyers came out, but they did mot
strengthen the market any, % they
bid 10 to go lower on the best heavy
fat steers aud 10 TO zoe lower ON TIE
prime wen fatted butcher stul.
There was one bunch Of choice fat
steers sold today ut 1925. This Is
tops for tho week, The bulk Of rel
celpts Of killing cattle has been Of the
half fat kinds that sold today from
$3.50 to $3.50 and we believe that IL
will pay the feeders to hold this kind
on feed untilthey are better insured
and not rush them to market when 1t
is in such q heavy decline for the
market Is In no condition to with
stand anything like heavy run with
out seriously affecting prices, We DO,
lieve that the stock shippers haveit
in hand to greatly help the stock
market BY Withholding shipments for
few days. This would help to re-
lieve the glut and butchers could
work OF their surplus products.
Good to choice butcher stuff has
been in better demand than the
heavier kinds. Prime light steers
and heiiers sold yesterday and today
at a. so to IS, this kind sold at s4.76
to 1928 last week. Packer buyers
we're very bearish on the grass fat
kinds 81 steers and such stun. Best
fat western steers sold largely on TO-
days market at &l.26 to s4.76 with
best grass-fat COWS and heiiers at IS
to $3.50 and prime corn-fed cows
at IS. rs to ~. These prices are fully
25c lower than last week.
The demand has been fairly good
for best stock hsIiers ct 1915 10 es

ELLENDALE.

With the advent of better weather our
farmers are feeling a little more hopeful
ior the future. Scarlet clover hay has
been housed in large quantities, and it is
remarkable that after so much wet the
hay remains in a bright condition.
So far there has been no corn of any
amount planted in this vicinity ; one of
our best renting farmers is so discouraged
he will move to a district where the land
is higher. His land is already to plant,
but now so wet that it can not be done.
To the entire satisfaction Of all E. F..
Whitney has been appointed post master
for Glendale. and has assumed control Of
the office with Mrs Whitney and Miss
Florence Russell as his assistants. Trouble
has already come up for him to meet. A
petition has been circulated which asks
that the post office be removed to a more
central location for the convenience of the
public. The matter will be referred to
the authorities at Washington for adjust
ment, but we are disinterested spectators.
The farm formerly owned by Dr. Keys

highly recommended as a farmer.
w. S. Dickersou passed last week in
Philadelphia, and while going up the
Delaware Bay on the steamer Cityof Mil
ford, they were caught In a small cyclone
which for a few minutes made many OF
the passengers fearful, and awfully sea
sick. Some of the freight was shifted but
no serious damage was done. The boat
was splendidiy handled by Captain Pal
mer who said that it was the hardest
short blow he had ever experienced since
he has been following the water. We
most heartily endorse Captain Palmer as
an able seaman and master of his profess
sion, and will always feel safe under his
command.
