M|NUET COMES BACK
Queen Mary of England Would
Revive Slow Tempo.
New York Is Already Making Plans
for Its Adoption and In London
Debutantes Are Hard at Work
Learning Steps.

New York.-"Slow" dances are
coming in again. Queen Mary
of England has brought about
the new fashion, an already New
York is making plans for its adoption.
In London the debutantes are hard at
work learning the new steps. Some
of these steps are rather complicated,
for they go back to the days OF the
minuet and other charming old world
dances. II Is almost a revolution.
The new dances are one of the first
things in which the influence of the
young English queen is being felt.
Mary of England is an admirer of any
thing that is beautiful and graceful.
She dislikes anything that Ia tina
slightest approach to roughness. The
courtly manners and charming pos
turings and movements of former days
always have been highly regarded By
her. Thus the new dances have her
great appreciation. Meantime tho
fashionable and gay Londoners are
mourning a little. At any rate, they
are obedient, since the merest suG.
gestion of "England's first lady" In q
command. But the livelier dances Of
the last few years have been very

much doubt if there is an intelligent

however. il is true the next real great

MARKET LETTER.
Letter From our Regular Correspond
ent at Kansas City.

Kansas City, June 81, 1910. Last
week was the second in succession
in which cattle receipts were greater
than the corresponding week last
year, the excess being $4,000 head
each week, and this liberal supply,
IN conjunction with heavy runs else
where and lower reports from out.
side points caused the biggest smash
in prices of any week this year. The
very best steers last % cents, medium
grades of natives closed % to 80
cents off, and lower grades, and but
cher stuff, lost so cents to one dol
lar. Grass cattle from native terri
tory started pretty freely last week.
Owners in some cases acting before
steers had the proper finish, and as
buyers We're especially alert for this
kind, and avoiding them as a pesti-
lence, statesmen had a most un-
pleasant week, and owners suffered a
great disappointment. In the pre-
yious week prices had help up pretty
well and the hot weather had caused
cattle to take an enormous fill, re.
sulting in extremely poor killing per
centage. Buyers finding themselves
loaded with this high costing stuff,
and with, a rather dull flesh meat
trade, had both the power and the
mood to administer a record break
ing drubbing to the market. The
wires and the mails were busy with
advices to owners to hold off this
week and the supply of 1000 head
today testifies to the effectiveness of
the advice, also it's %soundness, as
the market is steady today in most
cases, and while still sick, moderate
receipts for a few days will restore
some of the bloom of two weeks ago.
Prime steers are worth up to 1925,
bulk of steers 1925 to 1925, light
grassers down to $5.25, COWS 1926 to
$5.75, heifers $500 to 1925, bulls
1926 to $3.50.
The principal indicative straw in
the hog trade last week was the in
creasing enxiety of buyers to get
away from weight in their droves.
Their inability to satisfy instructions
fully on this point is rapidly widen
ing the spread bewteen light hogs
and the heavier ones adm country
shippers should demand a liberal dis
count on the heavy weights. Pack
ers say light hogs can be finished and
put into trade channels much quicker
than the heavy cuts, besides finding
a better demand, and that it is too
great a chance to take on heavy
hogs at present prices, when the
market could easily drop one dollar
per cwt before the stuff could be
prepared. This condition seems to
warrant the prediction that lights will
be selling one dollar above the
heavy weights. Market is steady to
3 lower today on all but lights which
are strong to 8 higher, light hogs
$3.50 to $3.50, medium weights 1926
to s9.40, heavies $9.15 to $3.50. pigs
1915 to $500.
