Chicago, Nov. Seattle were slow
on a heavy run today. A small lot of
prime steers soid at se.1e, the previous
top of the year. The bulk of steers went
at declines of about 10 cents. Western
steers, however, brought close to steady
prices, with the top at $40.
Two days receipts this week stand
at 46.4O0, against 34,S3s week ago and
1885 a year ago. while there have
been included 10000 western rangers,
which stands close to a record volume
for two consecutive days this late in
the western season. A week ago $4,000
were included in arrivals, while year
ago only 45o0 westerns came.
Nominally the values for strictly
good to choice heavy steers and like
wise prime kinds were on full steady
basis compared with the close last
week This decline, forced Monday,
did not come as a surprise to the trade.
inasmuch as the prices last week We're
elevated considerably, due chiefly to
shorter marketings, and the inevitable
was to be expected this week under
increased receipts.
Two days declines in the western
range cattle market have been more
severe than in native trade. However,
tone of the native market is not such
as gives encouragement for strength in
prices later this week, even tho the re-
ceipts are held to moderate volume.
Continued big range marketings are af-
fording killers opportunity to stock
coolers with good range beef at a cost

Growth of Newton Mandatory Reads
Like Fairy Tale.

Newton, Nov 3.-Apropos of the sale
of the entire interest of w. c: and A. IL.
Bergman which was a half interest in
the Parsons Band Cutter and Self
Feeder Company to Senator Maytag. a
history of its origin and development is
not amiss at this time.
1t was along in the early nineties
that threshing machine manufacturers
all over the country were experiment.
ing with band cutters and self feeder
attachments for their respective ma
chimes, but it remained for Newton to
bear The distinction of making and
marketing the first successful machine.
George w Parsons was experiment.
ing along these lines and when he was
pretty we'll along with his ideas he in
terested w. c. Bergman who furnished
money for development and expert :
mental purposes and perfecting the
machine.
1t was in the days. when money was
not so plentiful as now and it required
sacrifices for Mr.. Bergman to put up
what he did.
Later F. L. Maytag and A. HI. Berg
man were interested and in 1898 w e.
Bergman was secretary and manager
of the company. In 1894 F. l.. Maytag
was elected secretary and had charge
of the office and since that time has
been secretary and manager. At that
time W. G. Bergman was elected presi-
dent and has held that office ever since
while A. H. Bergman has been vice
president. For number of years un-
til he sold his interest George w. Par
sons was superintendent of construc-
ton.
1t is understood that the company
started with a cash capital of less thar
| $4,000, and that is all of the money
which the stockholders have put in.

sacrifices on the part of the people
above mentioned. and days of wear,

cash capital the plant has grown to the
