Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan
uary II, 1909.
Statesmen reluctantly accept a
decline of 5 to Is cents yesterday
but were able to put up only
poor opposition to the inevitable,
as buyers adviceS reported ex-
cessive supplies and a bad break
at Chicago. The run was mod,
est here, at 13, 900 head. Supply
today is 10000 head, held down
by the storm of yesterday, and
steers are selling steady, cows
strong. Actual receipts at
Chicago yesterday fell several
thousand short of first estimates
but the fright did its work for
yesterday, though it appears
comparatively harmless today.
The market here will stand larg
er receipts balance of this week.
Buyers have taken the cheaper
grades of steers more steady
than toppy ones for some time,
but several lots have sold at Sc. so
and Sc go last two days. bulk of
steers SIS. so to S. 40. Choice
cows brought $3.50 today,
heifers worth up to. 5000, bulls

gains made by cattle on feed, to-
gether with advantageous prices
for fed stuff, kept the demand
for country grades of cattle at
high tension and prices at the
top notch up to the middle of
last week, but since then trade
in cotfntry kinds has Jagged
little. Market is lower on stock
ers and feeders today and about
Is to 25 cents below the middle
of last week, stockers at So. 25
to So. 90, feeders 81 40 to s.. 40.
Buyers succeeded in getting
their droves of hogs at ten cents
reduction yesterday. although
the late market improved over
the opening. Run is $4,000 to-
day, market 10 higher, pigs Is
to % cents higher. From recent
actions of the pig market, pigs
will soon be selling in with loads
without sorting. Heavy hogs
sold today at $3.50 to So. 10,
weights from 200 to $50 at $3.50
to Sc. O5, light hogs So. 40 to S5.85,
pigs S4.75 to 1913. The light
run today has put the market on
a firm basis, and although better
weather will bring in bigger
runs later this week, the demand
will require a good many hogs
Sheep and lambs sold steady
yesterday at the high point of
the winter. Run today is 1900

When a woman opens family size
package of Quaker Toasted Corn lakes
for the first time and sees the extra
large package and the beautiful piece
of fine china, she's pretty apt to realize
that everything done by The Quaker
Oats Company is little bit better than
the very best of other factories. The
family size, with china, costs 25c; the
regular size without china. 10c.

Numerous friends welcome
the heralded return of w. M.
Marshall, Union Pacific night
depot agent at Wa-Keeney. Mr.
Marshall has been visiting
friends in other chimes, for a
period of three or four weeks,
principally his home in Warrens-
burg, Mo. Mr. Marshall has
favored Wa-Keeney with his
presence and labors for about
three months having been trans
ferred here from Hill City last
September. His continued
courteous and accommodating
relations with the patrons of the
Union Pacific as well as local
residents has won him unique
positions in the estimation of all
concerned. The demands of Wa
Keeney's charging prosperity
are exacting. Mr. Marshall has
proven himself capable of coping
with them all. One of the valu-
able assets in an individual s
business career is cheerfulneSs.
Mr.. Marshall's soothing syrup
disposition is a pleasing antedote
for all complaints. We miss the
effect of his remedial personality
in assisting us to tide over, with
a smile, the present attack of
unpleasant weather conditions,
however, we are thankful that
dame nature makes it possible
to entertain him with another
sleigh ride, upon his return.

Cotton Letter.

James \ Pollock & Co. bankers and

over their private wire yesterday after
noon,
Logan & Bryau's Cotton Lctter-New
York-Quite "A sensational cotton market
sprang out OF the fog this morning. The
caught a lot OF stop orders and vigorous
campaigning by the bull leaders carried
the market off its feet. Quite a lot of
conservatively held long cotton was
smiled over around the 1915 level. but
the tide Of buying was of sufficient vol
une to absorb ali these offerings and
carry the market to new high level. the
current option going through the lie mar
ket and predictions for all options We're
frequent for tomorrow's session. An
awakening TO the real value Of cotton Is
an article OF commerce is sufficient rea~
son for these sort Of prices, but the
transition from stupidity To acute intel
ligence has been too rapid To be wholly
healthy. The sincerity ability of re-
cent converts 10 the bull side is tn be
developed into "A market that might have
large and rapid swings which would test
nerves OF harasscd. The crop situation
is more serious than any are admitting.
and the needs are daily expanding, and
there can be but little doubt that we viii
finally mark the l2c level. We feel ultl-
uately friendly toward cotton. but would
prefer To buy on tho breaks rather than
grab II on such bulees as the past two
| JaNS have shown.
