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

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 70,
l009. The cattle market was in bad
way last week, and prices declined 90 to
30 cents on killing stuff 10 spite of small
receipts at al! the markets. Stockers
and feeders met good demand, and
held up much better than fat steers, al
though the market on them was irregu-
lar from day to day. The cattle run to-
day is $1,000 head here, market strong
to Is higher on all kinds. Buyers had
to be coaxed to the pens all of last week,
but trade today is the opposite Of the
draggy conditions prevalent last week.
here today, top steers $500, for steers
not much more than half fat. Country
buyers have taken out partly finished
steers lately at $3.50 to $3.50, for short
feed of 30 to 40 days, There is a mod
crate run at all the markets today aud
the opinion prevails that large portion
of the corn feeding section has market
ed bulk CT stuff on feed. Beef steers
sell at $3.50 and upwards, with prime
quality quotable at 1915, top heifers
around Sc 90, COWS $3.50. bulk of she
stuff $500 to S4.95, bulls $500 to S4.75,
calves rs cents to sl.0O lower than
week ago, at $3.50 to $3.50, stockers
1926 to 1926, feeders 400 to $3.50.
Hog run of $500 head here last week
was 1000 less than same week last year
at which time supplies were phenomenal
at all the markets, Prices advanced
to 10 cents last week, and the market is
) to 10 higher today, run 1000 head to-
day. Heavy buying of provisions by
spectators lately, and light selling Of
game by packers has advanced the pro.
vision market considerably during the
last week. This together with the ten
dency Of packers to hold the product,
lends firm tone to trade, which is
further enhanced by some talk OF re-
duced supplies Of hogs on the market
10 the nelr future. The top today hero
is $40, figure not reached on late
sales, as the close was weak, practically
every thing above 200 lbs selling at 1913
to $685., light hogs $500 to S6.I5, pigs
S4.75 to $3.50.
Lower prices prevailed in the sheep
trade last week, but the market revived
today, prices Is TO % higher than close
Of last week. Run last eek was $4,000
head, supply today 1000. Lambs sold
at 81 40 TO $3.50 today for good ones,
wethers at s. % to $3.50, yearlings 1915
to 1850, ewes SI,75 to $500. A few
feeding lambs have gone out lately at
Sc p to 81 10. Heavy supplies at east
ern m ,rkets have been to the cause of
recent depression here.

"HIs UNcLE's NEPHEW.
Home Talent to Present Play
Next Tuesday Night.

A company OF Jasper amateurs will
present the classic comedy, His Uncle's
Nephew at the opera house next
Thursday night, Feb. 4. ''His Uncle's
Nephew is a play made famous some
years ago by Henry Irving and Kyrle
Bellew. and is generally accepted as one
of the best straight comedies yet pro.
duced. For ridiculous situations it has
probably never been surpassed. Brief
ly the plot of the play is this:
Douglas Cattermole, a correct young
Englishman is dependent for his allow
ance on an eccentric wealthy uncle,
who is determined that his nephew
shall 'sow his wild OATS while yet
young. Douglas has difficulty living
according to his uncle's idea until his
friend, Harry Marsland, who is jointly
in debt with him suggests plan by
which they conceal ore Robert Spaldiug
who has been hired "sght unseen" as
the private secretary of Harry's uncle,
Mr.. Marsland, wealthy English gen
tleman. They deceive Spalding and
Douglas goes down to fill the position.
He has good deal of trouble keeping
up the deception especially when Spald.
ing, the real secretary, shows up. He
and Harry encounter Spalding on his
arrival and hide him. Mr.. Cattermole,
Douglas uncle has in the meantime
found Spalding at Douglas apartments,
mistaken him for Douglas and is very
much ashamed of such nephew. He
also encounters him at Marslands and
also hides him. Various other persons
mistake Spalding for other PARTIES and
also hide him. The tangle appears to
be h. peless, but is finally Strengthened
out by the arrival of, Gibson, a tailor,
with bil for Douglas. The play ends
happily Of course.

Canned Romance.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Perhaps the last place to look for bud
ding romance would be in tomato can.
When off duty the tomato can is popu-
larly understood to be one of the tradi-
tional belongings of the tramp. Dangling
from some part of his tattered outfit, 1t Is
at once a canteen and an insignia of his
PROFESSIONAL the cartoon portfolio. at
least. Aside from this. the discarded can
is an outcast of the alleyway and play
thing of the browsing goat. Consequently
1t Is interesting to learn that genuine
love match is directly chargeable to this
unsentimental output Of the cannery. A
Pittsburg young woman In a spirit of
playfulness put her name and address on
the under side Of the label that she was
about to attach to a tomato can. Three
months later a young man in Bath. Me-.
wrote to the girl that he had accidentally
discovered her address. The girl wrote to
the young man. He replied. The letters
grew more frequent. Photographs were
exchanged. Then came the proposal. fol-
lowed by the acceptance. 1t is the old.
old story. the last chapter winding up
with the wedding.
The moral of this idyl is that when you
cast your sentimental bread upon the wa
tiers it is quite possible it may return to
you before many days and in a delightful
guise. For in the making OF love matches
there is an infinitesinal variety. and the
kind with the tomato can label is but one
of Q countless host.

CHINESE IN HAWAII
cELESTIALS ASK FOR MoDIFICA-
TON OF EXCLUSION LAWS.

HONOLULU June 16. via San Francis
CO. June 25-The Chinese committee
which has charge Of the agitation for a
modification of the exclusion laws. SO as
to permit Of a limited immigration OF
Chinese to these islands. has received a
letter from Minister WI Ting-fang a,
Washington, asking what number of Chi
mitted here annually.
The committee has replied that 1t de-
sires that 5000 year should be admits ed
for about seven years. in addition to their
families. 1t estimates that with such an
immigration there would be at the end
OF ten years only about 5000 Chinese in
the territory. AS there are between ca.
900 and 10000 Japanese in the territory.
the committee feels that his would not be
an unreasonable number to keep the bal
ance OF the two nationalities in the island.
The Japanese of Hawaii have decided
to retaliate on the Chinese of the islands
for the Chinese boycott Of japanese goods
growing out OF the Tatsu Maru affair.
The fisheries of the islands have for sew
eral years been completely IN the con-
troll OF the japanese.
The japanese fishermen catch practical
~ the whole of the fish supply of the
islands. but the retailing of the fish is
almost as exclusively in the hands of the
Chinese
The Jaranese have united and organ
lied company to build a market for the
retailing of fish by Japanese the Japanese
fishermen entering into an agreement not
to sell f1sh to Chinese retailers
