THE KANSAS CITY MARKET
Reported for the News by a Special
Correspondent. Ks

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. IL, '09.
The run Of 43,5OO cattle here last week
excited considerable competition and an
uneven market, especially the last half
of the week. The decline Of Monday
was regained by Wednesday, and the
close OF the week found prices 10 10 10
cents above the close of previous week.
The highest priced cattle gained the
least, and the present margin between
finished steers and the medium grades
are narrower than any time before this
winter. The discrimination OF buyers
against the we'll finished steers 10 favor
OF the cheaper grades seems to offer
small encouragement to feeders to ripen
their steers on expensive corn, but that
is condition subject to quick change.
The run today is $4,000 head here, but
eastern feeders have poured another en-.
ormous supply into Chicago today,
breaking that market 10 to 25 cents. Pri-
ces here are 5 to 16 lower, top steers
S6. so, bulk OF steers S5 % to $6 40. The
cold weather will have a beneficisl effect
on demand for meats next sig weeks.
Top COWS bring %. 80. fancy heifers 86 90
bulk Of COWS and heifers % 90 to 1926,
bulls $500 to $500, veals higher today,
tops $3.50, heavy calves around S4.50.
Stockers and feeders sold higher last
week, but closed about steady with
close Of previous week, market steady
to 10 lower today, tops in both light and
heavy GLASSES S4.75 to $5.25, few COM
mon stockers at 1915 and downwsrds.
The hog supply Of $1,000 last week
was Is percent smaller than same week
last year, at which time phenomenal
runs OF hogs we're appearing at all the
markets. Prices ruled strong during
the week, and medium weights met q
strong demand that was the feature OF
the week. Pigs also got sharp ad-
vance, but the general market cinsad
| the week shade under the best time.
Best hesvies brought S6.15, and
weights below $50 reached 1896, both
grades at the highest figure since first
Of November. Run is 1900 head here
today, prices lower, in sympathy with
declines elsewhere, but closed with a
part OF the advance regained. Heavy
hogs sold today at S5.65 to $500, med
ium weights S5.65 to $5 80, lights $40
to 1915, pigs S425 to 1926.
Sheep and lambs advanced last week,
closing at the high point. Run is 5000
here today, market steady. Kansas fed
western lambs sold at $7.o0 for tops,
yesrlings S7.00, weathers 1856, ewes
1925, q set OF figures 20 to 40 cents
above top prices OF week ago. Med
ium class stuff is cut % to rs cents be.
low these figures. Feeding lambs have
gone out lately at 1915 to $3.50. Colo.
RADIO is still shipping sparingly, bulk oi
arrivals from native feed lots.
Owing to the severe storms today
railroads will likely be crippled mex
few days and receipts Of all kinds o
stock will be smaller, which will benefit
the market all around and losses Of to
day will be quickly regained.

RADIO. have had beautiful crimp or
"marcel-wave' put into their argumer
by the publication of House Bill 406,
which was a substitute offered by th'
Democratic minority in the National
House three years ago for the Rep
ublican Philippine bill, which places
the present tariff on PHILIPPINE sugar.
This minority substitute bill was in
troduced and signed by John Sharp
Williams, Champ Clark, BOurke, Coch

is entitled: "A Bill to secure to the
Philippine Islands free trade with tn
balance of the domain of the United

The lot sale at Wiley and barbe-
cue yesterday was big success not
withstanding the fact that the condi-
ton of the railroad made it impos-
sible for probably two-thirds of the
parties, who wished to go. to get
there. Over 500 visitors were pre-
sent and the bidding was spirited.
All, but a few of the Main street 10 5
were bought up at good prices, the
total sale amounting to over $1,000.
A general good time was had. and it
terprising members of the town COM
pany make a success of everything.

New York, Oct. 2S-Betting on the
curb market was more general to-
day, with chief interest centered In
the results of the Chanler-Hughes
contest for the governorship. More
Chanler money appeared and the odd

day disappeared. Practically all the
betting on the state results yesterday
was 10 to 8. with Hughes the favor
tie.
On the stock exchange Taft ruled
a little better than to l favorite.
There was one bet of $4,000 to s1,2oo
another bet of 5000 to 5000 and later
on it was reported that $1,000 to s4OO
had been laid on Taft. These are tn
first important bets recorded on the
