Chicago, July 2l- Trade in west
ern range cattle cattle has had bet
ter undertone thus far this week, L
meager run Of natives being the
stimulus. Total marketing of l, 500
rangers Oh Monday was the larg-
est one days run Of the season and
selling. Of both s5eers and she stock
was attended with good life at
prices 10 q 15c. higher than late
last week, whea fates for steers
stood SO q 60c lob,stl u.4al. Monday
of that week, the day first offerings
Of the season arrived here. Re
ceipts Of 500 today met fair sale at
fully steady values, practically al
OF the offerings being handled by
US. The quality was good, but
most Of the lots we're ia rather soft
condition, which was against their
sale.
Arrivals of 5000 western range
cattle for the season thus fer are
unusually liberal, for this time OF
the year. There is good demand
for steers as we'll as cows aud heif-
ers il good, fat condition, the heavi-
er the weight the freer their sale,
and such should be kept coming to
market right along. Shipping Of
cattle lacking good flesh, or such
as are in soft condition, should be
deferred, as these are meeting with
poor favor at the hands Of all the
buyers.

tive sales Of western range cattle,
from this vicinity for the week thus

70 AVOID UNLOADING

Owners OF range cattle are
strongly advised, where they can
possibly do so, to ship in cars
that are equipped with feeding
racks and watering troughs, for the
reason that cattle shipped in such
cars can be run direct through to
Chicago without unloading, as the
law limiting time in which cattle
may be kept in cars without un-
loading does not apply where the
cars have proper facilities for feed
ing and watering in transit. Sev-
eral Of the railroads hauling vest
ern cattle have arranged to handle
their northwestern cattle shipments
this season III cars SO equipped, and
hsye established feeding stations
where feed cen be put into the cars.
Cattle 50 shipped will come on the
market III better shape and sell to
better advantage than i shipped in
ordinary cars AID worried hy un-
loading and reloadins en route.

The fine of 500 imposed by the judge
upon the older boy will. of course. fall
upon the boys father, and to some per-
sons may seem an injustice; but 1t
ought to serve as a reminder to par

the sea had Gained down and the WIND was
blowing from southeast, whence 1T shl1ted
by d pm. to southwest. This last change was
also noticed at our end. On the following
dav 1.-THE 5th( the wind had gone round to
west-northwest, from which point 1t was
blowing hard, shifting later to north
west. For the next two days 1T blew
hard from north, the wind increasing IN force
from time to time, and shifting in. the after
noon of the second day towards northeast.
At 10 pm. on that day the barometer, which
had previously been rising q little, dropped
five hundredths, and by 4 o'clock III the
morning of the 9Th it had dropped eleven
hundredths more. The storm was then
at about it's worst. At daylight it was seen
that the wind was coming from about north
east, but was backing towards east by .

east, and by 4 2. M. was from southeast by
east, The barometer had been rising all day
from8 am. and both wind and sea had abated.
From about 6p. M. there were only hght
winds. The rapid return to fine weather ana q
high barometer was as remarkable as had
been the long duration OF the storm.

theory that will fully meet the case.
