Chicago, Aug. Seattle were steady,

on the market, A few westerns held at

Butcher stuff was fairly active, but
prices show practically no change.
Exporters are not doing much clam
oring that the markets abroad do not
justify extensive shipments. They
have bought a moderate number thus
far this week, taking a medium class
of cattle. Killers are after the handy
light weight steers, but are insistent
on quality being good. Sellers have
hard work to sell them, the common
and medium grassy steers without
making some discount compared with
last week. 1t is very uncertain deal
in the market for the light grass fin
ished stock and neither buyer nor sell
Ter can tell where they are going to
land. The spread in values is gradually
getting wider as the quality gets
poorer on the low end and the grassers
more numerous.

We're short of good quality and wanted
anything that was fat and we'll finished.
The great bulk of the supply consisted
of fair to medium short fed steers that
were not quite good enough to fill the
bill. These cattle are hard to sell and
are gradually working lower partly on
account of the competition from west
ern rangers and because buyers antic-
ipate a larger supply from that source

Stockyard Notes.

Cattle receipts were 11.0S5 less than
last year and the lightest for the
month since 1904.
Shipping trade was healthy. The
output was 5,2Ss more cattle, 2,290
more hogs and $3.50 more sheep than
last year.
The feature of the July cattle mar
ket was the strong demand which pre-
vailed most of the time for good to
choice yearlings. Cattle of this class
were far in the lead of other kinds
and the best baby beef" makers hit
the top at 1856, which was the loftiest
figure of the year. Heavy cattle, no
matter how good, were a drag nearly
all the month, tho sold with more
activity late in the month when they
We're less numerous. July receipts
we're not especially large, but show a
decrease of 1900 compared with last
year. 1t Is safe to say, however, that
the extra weight on the cattle more
than made up for the deficiency in
numbers. The top for heavy steers
during the month was s7.45. Shipping
demand was fairly good most of the
month, but exporters bought rather
sparingly largely at 1928 @5.75. Dis
tillery cattle came freely and sold
mainly at se.75@705.
Receipts of western rangers during
the month were 1000, which was more
than expected considering the fact that
the season is later than usual. The top
for rangers was $50.
In the hog market prices were ex-
ceptionally high nearly all month,
tho there was sharp dip near the
close A good share of the desirable
hogs sold we'll above the IS mark, the
best reaching ss.45.
The packers still want the hogs. It's
merely matter of price, but regardless
of the latter they seem to have plenty
of use for liberal supplies.
Hog receipts fell 1882 short Of last
July and were the highest for the
month since 1904.
Receipts of sheep broke the record
for July, but the demand was good
and prices higher than usual. Lambs
declined sharply the close of the
month, being about Is cents lower than
the opening.
All previous records on receipts OF
live muttons were broken in July
362,eeS being counted in. A liberal
movement from the northwestern
range was one swelling influence, q
big crop of lambs from south of the
| Ohio river another.
Chicago received 1.o3s,s62 head Of
cattle, calves. hogs, sheep. lambs and
horses in 1880 cars last month. Cattle
averaged 81, hogs Il, sheep 206 and
horses 1S to the carload. Last weei
combined receipts were 245,347, in 4,o7;
cars.

Of turning out Lax Gillette at the end
of his present term, 1911: and all the
insurgent representatives from Wis
consin are in equally bad odor with the
Edrnonds regime. To have a hostile
state chairman invested with all this
patronage power: the power to name
all the supervisors, and thru them to
control many hundreds of enumerators
that was something which the Wis
consin politicians had never dreamed
of.
When Mr.. FISHERMAN informed his
colleagues what he had learned about
the plans to take the whole census
business away from the senators and
representatives, and give it to a state
chairman, by special arrangement with
the president, they were positively the
maddest lot of statesmen who have
been since this session opened. They
said things utterly unprintable: they
declared 1t would never, never be per-
mitted at least without a fine scrap;
and they limited at things they could
do If necessary, to make livery uncom-

May Be Howl.
Senator LaFollette, against whom il
is supposed this arrangement is es-
pecially aimed, has put a paddock on
his lips and refused positively to talk
about it, or what he proposes to dc
about it, But his friends say that il
he finds out that the arrangement is a
general one for the entire state, and
that the president had actually turned
over that patronage to State Chair
man Edmonds, why, then there is GO
ing to be roar such as we'll be heard
by everybody in the country with ar
interest, personal or academic in the
patronage question.
