The market on beef steers was uneven, but finished steady. while COWS and heifers gained to 10 cents. and stockers and feeders closed 20 to 8 cents lower for the week The supply yesterday was 2.0O0 head. beef steers steady. cows strong to 10 cents higher. stockers and feeders also stronger Colorado stockers have sold here recently at a range of $3.60 to $40. and Colorado feeders at S4.20D 4.50. medium to common Colorado cows and heifers at $3.O0G3.75.

FALSE AND MALICIOUS''
 THE PRESIDENT REPLIES
To the Charge That Federal Patronage Has
 Been Used for Political Effect
Incidentally He Passes Upon the Wckedness and IT, regularity of the Anti-AdmnistratiOn Movement Which Has Begun in the Southern States.

Washington. Feb. 9.-President Roosevelt today made ansTer to the recent published statement that he had made use of federal patronage to fur ther the presidential interests of Sec rrtary Taft. The answer is in the form of letter addressed to William Dudley FouIke of Richmond and in cludes a letter from Foulke to the president suggesting the need of such a statement.
 The president begins by character izing the charges as false and mali ci0us. He follows with an analysis of all the appointments sent to the senate for action to show that in no case has the proximity, of the presi- dential contest influenced his actions.
 The president says: The statement that l have used my office in an effort to renominate any candidate is both false and malicious. It is the usual imaginative invention which flows from a desire to say something in furious. Remember that those who are now making the accusation were busily engaged two months ago in as serting that I was using my office to secure my own renomination.
 Since congress assembled I have sent to the senate the names of all the officials have appointed I have made during this period about 1852 appointments subject to confirmation. ll64 being pOstmasters. In nominat- ing judges I have treated politics as a secondary consideration Instead of relying solely upon the recommenda- tions Of senators and congressman. I have always conducted an independent inquiry myself.
 1t is of course out of the question for me to examine such a multitude of appointments. Therefore. as re- gards some. l normally accept the suggestions of senators and congress- men. always reserving to myself the right to insist upon the man coming up to the required standard of char acter and capacity. and also reserving the right to nominate whOmsoeve- choose if | am satisfied that I am not receiving from any senator or con Sressman good advice.
