L. K. Lewis, travelling repre-
sentative for a number of week
~ newspapers, with headquar-
tiers at Topeka, drop into Wa
Keeney last Friday. and became
so interested in our city, its
business men, fresh air and food
that he thought it quite judicious
to remain here over the Sunday.
Before his departure on Monday
he turned to his newly formed
friends and said: Gentlemen,
you have an elysium here.

Kansas City Market Report.
Kansas City Stock Yards, June
%, 1909

Kansas City Stock Yards, June
%, 1909
Demands for meats improved
last week, and as reports from
European markets were also IA
vorable, statesmen managed to
elevate prices IS to 25 cents dur
ing the week. Fed cattle have
had an upward tendency this
week, everything except the
heaviest steers strong to 10 high
er than close of last week, and
choice yearlings 10 to Is higher.
The supply is 5000 here today.
A load of fancy yearling steers
and heifers sold at 1925 to-day,
and heavy steers brought 500
yesterday and today. Steers fed
corn on the grass are selling at
$500 to 1918, and short fed
steers that show grass bring
1926 to $3.50. Straight heifers
sold at 800 this week, and fed
cows at $3.50, but bulk of the
stuff sells at So. 25 to IS, show
ing more or less grass. An ex-
traordinary run of grass cattle
in the quarantine division here
yesterday moved at 10 to 20 low
er prices, but smaller supply in
that division today is selling
strong to 10 higher than yester-
day. Fed cattle will doubtless
continue at stiff prices, and while
temporary heavy supplies of
Southern grasSerS may cause
weakness in that class occasion
ally the total supply is not be-
lieved to be sufficient to affect
the general market perceptibly.
Calves are 25 to 80 lower this
week, tops 800, bulls at $500
to $475. Stockers and feeders
are firm, feeders up to $50,
of stockers at S4. % to
$500, with an increasing num-
Der of low grade strokers at 81
or less.
Hogs made a good gain yester
day, market steady to 5 lower
today, heavy hogs at $3.50 to
1892, medium weights $3.50 tol
$50, light hogs S7.35 to rs.
The supply is small for June,
$500 here yesterday and 1900
head today, and total at all west
ern markets is running 20 per
cent short of this period last
year. There was a break in pro-
visions last week, but the subse-
quent reaction of the market
a healthy basis, and high /
hog prices appear sure for some
time ahead.
Sheep and lambs have declined
regularly lately, although the
is practically steady this
week, account of small runs
here, $500 head yesterday and
1000 today. Grass sheep from
the Northwest are appearing at
the Northern markets, and buy
ers are standing out for still fur
Their reductions. Spring lambs
sold here today at 1925, and
yearlings brought 1925 yester-
day. and outside price for the
latter Wethers are worth up
to $500, ewes from 1913 to 81. 80.
oreedieg ewes in demand up to
S.. 10, goats So. 25 to $3.50.

According to the opinion ema-
mating from the office of the at
torney general at Topeka there
is some doubt as to the legality
of the waterworks bond proceed
ings in connection with the cleo
ton held in Wa-Keeney last
April, and consequently the city
council will not attempt to issue
any bonds under that election.
The only criticism offered is in
regard to the fact that the notice
of the election contained the
words mot to exceed forty thou
sand dollars" and the actual
proposition on which the people
voted read thirty thousand. ;"
To the average mortal it looks
like a mighty bum" objection,
but the council will take no risk
and have therefore called another
election for Monday, July 20, at
which time the $4,000 water
works proposition VIII be resub-
mitted to the voters of the city
and also second proposition of
$4,000 for an electric light plant.

paper.
