Lacking in Activity-Demand for
Best Grades of Sheep and Lambs.

Chicago, Aug. 81. Cattle-There
We're no choice steers in the native di-
vision, the best that the market af-
forded selling at $3.50. In the western
division a few of good quality sold as
high as $685.. The fact that the gem
eral quality of the few natives tina.
We're on the market was poor induced
buyers to show more activity for the
better classes of westerns The bulk
of western cows was slow and the
market. while no lower. was weak.
There was weak inquiry for native
butchers, tho prices were not material
ly changed. Stockers and feeders are
slow, calves steady to strong.
Hogs.
Demand for the better grades was
active. price advances of SOLO cents
being registered early. The late mar
ket was hardly active on the better
grades of hogs, but the supply was
limited enough to effect a clearance
and the bulk of choice sold fully 5
cents higher while there were many
higher.
The five principal western markets
had around $4,000 hogs yesterday
practically the same as last week, md
5000 more than a year ago. August
receipts here are $4,000 less than last
year, while shippers have taken 5000
more, leaving local packers 10000 short
on their purchases.
A higher range of prices was made
for provisions last week, and profit
taking on the bulges became so at
tractive that prices were given a
moderate setback on pork, but lara
and ribs finished at nearly the high
figures. Stocks are small and below
the average for this season and pack
ers are predicting that all will be
wanted within the next two months,
and those who are enthusiastic pre-
dict in less than thirty days the
stocks will be reduced to a very low
limit. There is about one-third Of
the usual stock of short ribs here.
The run Of hogs is light the packing
in the west continues to show a larger
deficit each week and increases the
loss as compared with last year.
Shipments of meats last week were
14.77S,0O0 pounds, increasing over O.
100000 pounds over last year, while
shipments of lard were s,994.o 900
pounds compared with 7.3es,o pounds
last year. Prices are very high as COM
pared with last year. but trade condi-
tons are better.
Sheep.
Demand for the better grades of
lambs and sheep was active and prices
were fully steady. The bulk of offer
ings was in the lamb division.

JOHN RoHLFF's GOOD FEEDING.
Iowa Man Has Distinction of PUTTING
Over First 8-Cent Cattle.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Eight-cent cattle,
long predicted, materialized yesterday,
and the honor of putting over drove
at that price belongs to that clever
feeder, John Rohlff, of Rock Rapids,
Lyons county, Iowa. Mr.. Rohlff is he
ing urged to fit q car of steers for the
1910 International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton, and if he undertakes the task, will
make some of the veteran sweepstakes
winners do considerable hustling
For four successive Mondays Mr..
Rohlffs cattle have topped the market
at s7.55. s765, $3.50 and IS in success
sion. Last Monday he sold Armour
drove at $3.50 that dressed 81 per cent
and the same buyer took yesterdays
offering.
Last October he put in 1873 head of
Hereford and Short Horn steers bred
in his vicinity. They were fed nothing
but corn and hay with little linseed
meal at the finish and made an aver
age gain of 500 pounds, weighing 1910
pounds when put in. They made money
despite the fact that he lost two steers
out of the last bunch just before ship
ping time.

EXILE" TAYLOR AT LOUISVILLE.
Ex- Governor, Pardoned,. Visits Ken
lucky After Nine Yeara

lucky After Nine Years.
Lexington, KY, Aug. 3O.-Kentucky
had a visitor last night who for nine
years was an exile from his native
state because Of his alleged connection
with the assassination of William
Goebel. Former Governor William S.
Taylor. who now lives in Indianapolis,
and who was pardoned three months
ago by Governor Wilson of all charges
against him growing out of the Goebel
murder, is in Louisville tonight and
probably will come here tomorrow or
next day.
This is Taylor's first visit to Ken
lucky since he fled from the state in
1899. soon after Goebel was shot. He
is apparently in good health. He says
ne will never return to Kentucky to
live, as the state has brought him too
much sorrow, his wife and daughter
having died of broken hearts as a re-
suit of the accusations against him.
Taylor probably will visit his CID
home in the Whitley county mountains
before returning to Indianapolis. II
he does so he will be given public re-
ception by his former townspeople.

TAFT WARNS OF BIG DEFICIT
IN FIRST MESSAGE.

President Taft's message to Congress- on
Tuesday last is as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives-I have convened the Congress in ex-
ira session in order to enable it to give
immediate consideration to the revision of
the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting
production, manufacture and business GEN
orally have so changed in the last IL years
as to require a readjustment and revision
of the import duties imposed by that act.
More than this, the present tariff act,
with the other sources of government rev.
enue. does not furnish enough to pay the
authorized expenditures. By July 1 next
the excess of expenses over receipts for
the current fiscal year will equal $l00, 000,-
900.
The successful party in the late election
is pledged to a revision of the tariff. The
country, and the business community espe-
cially, expect it. The prospect of change
in the rates of import duties always causes
a suspension or halt in business because
of the uncertainty as to the changes to be
made and their effect.
II is therefore of the highest Importance
that the new bill should be agreed upon
and passed with as much speed as posi-
BILE consistent with its due and thorough
consideration. For these reasons | have
deemed the present to be an extraordinary
occasion, within the meaning of the Consti-
tuition, justifying and requiring the calling
of an extra session.
In my inaugural address stated in a
summary way the principles upon which,
in my judgment. the revision of the tariff
should proceed. and indicated at least one
new source of revenue that might be pro-
perly resorted to in order to avoid future
deficit. 1t is not necessary, for me to re-
peat what then said.
venture to suggest that the vital bust
ness interests Of the country require that
the attention of the Congress in this ses
sion be chiefly devoted to the consideration
of the new tariff bill, and that the less time
given to other subjects of legislation in this
session, the better for the country.

not relieve the State of the obligation OF
treating the negro fairly, of seeing that he
is Judged impartially before the law and
that his rights are safeguarded and pro-
tected. 1t will not lessen the duty of the
State to maintain for him the schools
which are now maintained and to aid him
in every way 1t can to better his condition
and become good citizen.
THE negro is here through no fault of
his own and we must make the best of
him, but it is too much to expect that we
should be content to stand still and wait
Tor that dim, distant day when he may de-
velop into good citizen.
The adoption of the amendment will be
for the benefit of the negro as well as the
white man in this State, and those who
are his real friends realize this
