Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 24 There was liberal supply of range cattle here this week, espe- cially from Colorado. Offerings were about evenly divided between killing grades and stockers and feeders, and the beef steers sold at $50 to $5.65, feeders $4 80 to $5. 10. one lot at $5 .55. The mar ket held steady until Wednesday, but closed the week l5 to 25 lower on all kinds. The supply to day is l2,000 cattle here. moderate for Monday, and other markets also have only fair run. Some uneasi- ness prevails account of the anti meat eating crusade now going over the country, but there was not enough excitement. nor lack of orders, to cause much of a loss to- day, prices steady 10 ten lower on all kinds, few COW sales l5 lower Up to this time the movement does not seem to be very successful east of Pittsburg. that is in the heavy consuming sections in New York and New England. and orders are still coming from these districts. A feature uf the cattle trade lately is the relatively high prices being paid for medium finished steers, as compared with prime steers Packers have been making an effort to supply retailers with cheap meats, so they could pacify their customers as much as possible in their protests against meat prices. and this condition has made medi- um to low grade cattle find wide outlet. Some feeders are putting cattle on feed now for May and June, in spite of the present agita- tion. believing the trouble will be a thing of the past when the cattle now going into feed lots are ready for market. Cows range from $500 to $500, heifers up to $500, bulls $3. 40 to S5.l0, veal calves $7.00 to $50, heavy calves S4.25 to $5.50. stOckers $3 30 to s .00. feeders S4.25 to S5. .25.
 Sheep and lambs closed last week with loss of l5 to 25 cents. and the supply of 10000 head here to- day is selling 10 to l5 lower Top lambs sold today at $S.35, fair to good lambs around $S %. yearlings today at S6.75 to $7.50, wethers S5. .25 to $6. 00, ewes S4. 75 to 5.60. Better weather conditions in the San Luis Valley in Colorado has checked the premature movement of poorly finished stuff from that section, and the fairly good re- ceipts now coming are of good av craze quality. The run so far this month shows an increase over same period last year, which is some thing of a surprise, as predictions called for a shortage in the supply during January. The market has held up fine however, except for the break since the middle of last week.

Matrimony as Popular as Ever.

Time fails to change the ways of man;
and why should it? The great planner
for the happiness and welfare of the
human family knew what was best
hence matrimony is as popular as ever.
A test of this fact took place in this
city Tuesday, April 26, at high noon,
when Rev. w. j. G. Bond united in
marriage Mr.. Allen T. Spang and Miss
Fannie Ivey. The services were SOL
emnized at the residence of the brides
mother, Mrs. Henry Ivey.
Mr.. Spang is well and favorably
known in Mineral Point where he re-
sided for some time. At present he is
employed as engineer for the famous
Kennedy mine at Hazel Green. The
bride is one of high worth and com
mands and merits the esteem of every
acquaintance.
On the 1:20 p. m. train out of this
city on the most eyentful day of their
career thus far, Mr.. and Mrs. Spang
were numbered as passengers bound for
Chicago, Pittsburg and other eastern
points of interest.

COLLAPSED BANKS CONDITION
As Reported by Comptroller Murray
from Washington Last Week.
Not Very Rosy Outlook for the Unfor-
tunate Depositors.

In response to letter of inquiry re
Gently sent to the comptroller of th'
currency at Washington by Mr.. Il. G
White of this city for the enlightenment
of the anxious creditors of the defunc
First National Bank of Mineral Point
the following reply was received the
latter part of last week.
Treasury Department,
Washington, April 20, 1910,
"Mr. r. G. White of the depositors
committee of the First National Bank
of Mineral Point, Wisconsin
Sir The letter of April 10th from
the depositors committee, requesting
information in regard to the affairs of
the First National Bank of Mineral
Point, is received.
"Omitting cents. the following is a
general statement Of the condition of
the bank On taking possession of the
bank the receiver found what appeared
to be assets of the face value of S737, 1873.
OF these $l6S, 5S3 were forgeries, Sl3, OPT
were notes belonging to other parties.
A little more than $l20,000 in addition
to the forged notes, was absolutely
worthless. $3.50, 600 in cash was claimed
by the Kennedy Mining Co., and an ex-
pensive law suit is now pending to de-
termine the ownership of this fund.
The receiver has already collected, in-
GLIDING the cash on hand, 1915. 525. The
total liabilities, so far as they have been
discovered, amount to $64S, 533. There
has been paid in dividends $l36, 807.
Respectfully,
LAWRENCE 0. MURRAY,
Comptroller.
The report being in round numbers
only, tire public is left in quandary as
to details. 1t would be gratifying to
learn what portion of the gilt edged
paper has been collected, if any, and
how much more is collectable; what
portion due from stockholders under
the law has been paid, how much more
is callectable and how much not collect
able, what is likely to be realized from
the \Allen estate for the benefit of the
depostors, and if any has been realized
so far; what expenses are to be paid
for out of the depositors' fund, how
much to date, and who are thus remu-
nerated If the amount already paid
in dividends ESQ is Sl36,807, which
indicates a sum four times that large,
or $547, 228, due depositors, and the to-
tai liabilities amount to $648, 533, how
is the difference (Sl0l, 305) accounted
for 1t looks as though the Kennedy
Mining company's claim of Sl5G, 900 was
included in the collected ard cash on
hand" amount $375, 525. If not, an
other 2595 dividend could be paid easily
and then over 500, 600 remain.
Should it result that the $3.50, 900
claimed by the Kennedy Mining Co.
and now held in reserve cannot be held
as an asset, the outcome viii be none
too rosy for the beguiled depositors,
unless there is large amount yet to be
realized in the way of collections. Such
is the view of conservative thinkers.
Another week should clarity the imam
cial atmosphere on this last question,
as the trial pending thereon is set for
