ST. 10. Market Reports.

South, st. Joseph, Mo, July ID
The deluge of rain last night causing
washouts resulted in severe curtail-
ment of live stock today. Up to 2:30
o'clock there were nearly a hundred
cars back that should have arrived
early today with no chance of their
getting in before night.
The arrivals of cattle were about
POO n only slightly below an aver
age Monday run, but about half of
these came from Texas, and arrived
ahead of the flood. The market was
in good active condition, n would
readily have absorbed a full opening
day supply. Some good 1925 pound
Kansas steers sold up to s6.75, a good
strong price for the quality, and other
nice kinds of dressed beeves sold at
$3.50 a $685., with ordinary fair light
styles going at $3.50 q $6.25. There
was a good active market for h mod
crate supply of sows and neifers at
fully steady prices. In the quarantine
division the receipts were quite liber-
al and included the best cattle seen
here this season. Some very good fed
Oklahomas sold up to $500 and grass
erS went as high as SASS, market be-
ing good n strong.
Of four thousand hogs estimated
for arrival today less han 1000 head
have been yarded up to the closing
hour. At outside markets there was a
liberal Monday run continuing to indi
cate that the country has plenty of
hogs, and that July is to be a liberal
month in marketing. All outside pric-
es were reported 5 to 10 cents lower,
and while there were not enough hogs
here to test the market the indications
favored a weak to 5 cent lower trade,
after supplies got in. The bulk of the
small supply sold at $5.75 a $3.50
with tops making $3.50.
No sheep or lambs were reported
at this hour today, and outside mark
cts were moderately supplied. The
eastern trade has become somewhat
dmoralized, and it is likely that any
thing like liberal receipts on middle
days of the week will see prices work
ing toward a lower level.

MT. Harriman's declaration that "it
is considered good politics now to at
tack me-" in answer to the charges
in the report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, shows That the
Union Pacific president is not wholly
blind to the state of public sentiment.
His construction of the personality
of the attack is, however, entirely
in keeping with the egotism of the
Wall Street plunger. He is not able
to comprehend that the attack on
him is not a personal one. If Mr..
Hartman alone constituted the men
ace to the public welfare, which is
foreshadowed in the report of the
commissioners, the solution of the
Hartman situation" would b. quite
simple. But d~isposing of Hartman
would aid but little in the correction
of present conditions. He is really the
most Insignificant factor involved in
the problem 1t Is the system which
allows so small an individual as Mr..
Hartman to acquire such abnormal
power, that the people are attempt
ing to reform; and If That is not good
politics, Hartman and those who are
'shigher up" will have to make the
best of it.-Kansas City Times.

from London Is interpreted gIsre as mean
Ing that the British government and
people dIsayow the action OF the Gov
ernor OF Jamaica in requesting Admiral
Davis to embark his men. The text OF
the dispatches referred TO Is as follows:

Meantime Admiral Davis who arrived
at Guantanamo from Kingston yesterday
with the battleships Missouri Indiana
and the cruiser Yankton. Is preparing a
report which will be forwarded to Wash
ington by mail.
Extreme Resentment.
Willie the general sentiment here was
one of extreme resentment at tho treat
ment of Admiral Davis, there was no
official who would venture to express
himself in eritiGr'm for publication. Act
ing Secretary of State Bacon was an
early caller at the White House, where
he was in conference with the Presi-
dent, and later it developed that the
President took the position that there
was nothing in the episode which would
warrant the slightest representations by
