Lateness Of Arrivals Delays
Trade, and All but Best
Grades Are Dull
LIGHT RECEIPTS IN HOG:
Brisk Bidding by scaIpers and Ship
pcrs Advances Price 5 to 10 Gents,
But Market Closes Weak-Strensth
in Sheep Disappears, But Lambs
Are Firm.

Chicago, Dec 2-Cattle trains were
somewhat delayed and yarding oper-
atiions We're somewhat slow, and as a
result it was some time before cattle
ers. Receipts were 5000 heavier than
the same day last week, and consisted
chiefly of natives. tho there were still
few loads of range stuff coming in.
Good grades We're steady others dull.
| Two days receipts thus far this week
total e6,200, against 35,3OS week ago
and 3S,4SS a year ago. The cut lin re-
jcelpts compared with a week ago has
been a fortunate incident in the trade
affording firmer price basis than cur
rent late last week, and indications
point to another moderate run for the
Wednesday market. After the severe
drubbing which buyers gave the mar
ket last week the country evidently is
content to market moderately and give
the market an opportunity to strength
en-.
Mondays advance for medium and
PLAIN kinds. and also the good beeves,
but practically unchanged basis for
choice to prime kinds. was indication
of the sentiment of demand at present.
Looking forward to the sales of show
steers Thursday killers We're slow to
take hold of the best grades. and the
lack of export demand for top kinds a
regular feature ait this season of the
year, hurt values for these classes. In
the lower grades, however, renewed ac-
tivity in demand from the shippers has
put prices for these largely 10@2O
higher than late last week and traders
yesterday cited instances of 25@SOc
gain on last weeks closing for numer-
GUS of the transactions at $4.75@5.50.
Hogs.
While the early market saw little
trading on the part of big killers.
shippers and scalpers competed among
themselves for good to choice kinds
of butcher hogs and paid SOLO cents
above the average of the previous day
Receipts were far below the number
offered the corresponding day last
week. After the first round of buying
the market weakened and the early
advance was partly lost.
Official receipts of hogs for Novem-
Der were s162S3. which is gain Of
s44,746 over November last year, when |
The panic was on in full force, and the
market was badly depressed. Prices
are nearly dollar higher than a year
ago at this time.

All the strength and snap in the
mutton market displayed yesterday
seemed to have vanished today In
ambs there was a tone of firmness,
however, and some held for higher
prices. At the close of the market

Across the seas of Time.
His hands upon the wheel deny
The wild demands of circumstance
Ills eyes are on the distant sky
Beyond the clouds Of chance.
And when. still beating up the wind.
He slowly brings the ship of state
Home. Though the people chafe to find
How DARK. 1t Is and late.
With all his tacfing courses run

Men find him faithful to the one

Full sail before the storm.
He scans the rainbow in the wave
Aud dazzling spray around him hurled
Their light will last him till his grave
Obliterates his world.
His hands upon the wheel reply
To every call Of circumstance.
He chases down the reeling sky
The rushing clouds Of chance.
He spreads before the boisterous wind
The wild white wings Of the ship OF

How fast And when that day is done
How far, o God, from hope and thee!

MRS. MOSS LOSES SUIT.
Case Against Rock Island Taken Away
From Jury by Judge Dana.

Mrs. Bessie Moss, widow of D. e.
Moss, Rock Island switchman who
was killed in the yards at Belleville,
Kan, February 16, 1906. will not receive
any damages from the railroad com
pany, unless the supreme court con-
sents to handle the case. At o'clock
last night, Judge Dana of the Shaw
nee county district court, sustained a
demurrer to the evidence of the plain
tiff, and the case did not get to the
jury.
Paul Walker, Rock Island attorney,
and J. D. Mcfarland, assisting in the
defense, raised the demurrer after the
evidence was introduced. They cited
a similar case, and demurred on the
grounds that the evidence did not show
any negligence on the part Of the de-
fendant company or it's employees. Moss,
a switchman, stepped off the foot board
of a switch engine according to the
evidence, at place where the COM
pany maintained two parallel tracks.
He was struck and instantly killed by
an engine on the second track. The
defense demurred on the ground that
the evidence did not show that the
death Of Moss was due to any negli-
gence on the part of the engineer or
fireman of the engine passing on the
main line, and the demurrer was sus-
tanned.
The attorneys for the plaintiff were
of the jury. Mrs. Moss, the widow, was
accompanied by her 2-year-old baby,
and made a favorable appearance be-
fore the jury. : e.

John Madden Favors Deferring Fight
on New Freight Schedule.

John Madden, attorney for the

in favor of giving the new freight
rates proposed by the Kansas railroad
commission a trial in actual practice
before making any fight against their
adoption though he admits that he
does not know whether this will be
done or not.
Mr.. Madden said today: 'The
attitude of the public toward the rail-
roads, and of the railroads toward the
public, is changing. I believe that the
public is inclined -to-be-m more reason
able, and I think that the railroad
companies might in good faith test
the proposed freight rate reductions,
and see whether they prove to yield
enough revenue to be compensatory.
This is the only way that the exact
facts can be known. don't know
whether the roads will obey the or
der of the commission or not-I
haven't any advice Oh that matter
but I think it would be a good plan
to put in the proposed rates and give
them a trial."
