unfavorable advices from the
eastern markets and prices

the general run of stuff. Good
Middle Park steers sold early in
the week at $50 but later a
pretty good grade of North Park
steers went at S5.25 flat and
S.. As freight paid to the river,
with some good South Parkers
at $3.50 and prices ranging all
the way from this down to $4. 10
on some just fair Arizonas.
Choice North Park cows sold at
$3.50 early in the week but later
most of the fair to good kinds
went at S3.35 to So. 80, a bunch
of good Oregon cows bringing
the latter price. Bulls were
lower at S2.25 to S2. rs for bulk.
Veals also little lower with
most of the good ones at $3.50
to $5.25. The demand for beef
stuff was very fair at prevailing
prices and a good clearance
made from day to day. Feeder
and stocker trade was of small
volume as demand and supply
were both small. Prices remain
much the same as a week ago on
the good stuff but common
grades are weak to a little lower.
Today's receipts 1,200 head.
Good cattle steady; others lower
in sympathy with eastern de-
clines.
Hog supply was l, 300 head last
week, which is the smallest run
here since the week of October
%, 1906. The demand is much
better than supply and liberal
shipments wanted. Prices are
sharply higher, bulk quotable to-
day at Sc. SO to S.
Sheep trade was light last
week, very few being on sale.
The demand is good and the
market firmer than week ago.
Fair to good ewes brought S.. 90
and wethers sold at $4.75.

Sane or. Insane?

The Denver Times published
an editorial recently which it
headed: "a Sane View of the
Political Situation.
In that editorial it sited that
Mr.. Bryan could be elected if,
with the West and South, and
Oklahoma's seven votes, he could
carry two Of the other important
states; that, basing the estimate
on results eight years ago, he
would lack 80 some electoral
votes. After taking it for
granted that two other states he
did not get then, with Okla
homa's Z votes, and that Kern
could carry Indiana, he would
still lack about 40, and these
were to be overcome by carrying
two other important states which
then and four years ago, went
Republican.
There doesn't appear to us to
be a large amount of hope for
Democratic victory in such an
estimate.
In the first place there is little
to create a change in the results
from four years ago.
Mr.. Kern has never yet carried
Indiana, though twice a candi-
date for governor. Like Mr..
Bryan he was defeated both
times and one of them over
whelmingly.
Why Mr.. Bryan should be
credited with every Western
state is another mystery, when
every one of them, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, Wash
ington and Wyoming, went Re-
publican four years ago, as also
most Of them DID eight years
ago, the second time Mr.. Bryan
was defeated.
-Four years ago the Democrats
carried 13 states, viz: Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia, having ITO of the 400
electoral votes.
For the past twelve years the
the Republican gains have been

Meeting under conditions not wholly
auspicious, confronted by unsettled

before equaled by any session In the
annals of the nation.
In the face of widely varying opin-

ordinate personal views and prefer

sion, the compromise financial bill. is
the result. Whatever view may be
entertained of the respective merits of
the various financial theorems which
found abundant expression in course
of the session, few impartial judges

will probably never be called into ac-
