Kansas City Market Report
Kansas City Stock Yards, Decem-

The market yesterday turned out
good, closing at the best point of the
day, but the situation is not quite so
good today, beef steers steady to 10
lower, butcher grades steady, stockers
and feeders firm. Run to-day is
Ia, 900 head. Chicago was overloaded
yesterday, and great complaint was
made about slack demand for steers
of weight above 400. Buyers seem
to have recovered their fight on the
heavy cattle the last of the week or
ten days, with considerable success be-
cause of the liberal number of good
weight steers being marketed now.
Another thing, the light cattle are
always in favor at this period, and
for number of years nearly all winter
cows and heifers and bulls have sold
firm and at relatively higher prices
than the big fat steers. Yet, through
pride perhaps, majority of feeders
stick to tbs candidates for market
toppers. Yearlings reached Sc. 80
yesterday and Sc. 80 to-day, showing a

RAILROAD NEWS

Indications are that IL will not be
long until the day of the dispatching
of trains on the Hooking Valley Rail-
way by telegraph will be thing of
the past. For several years there
has been discussion of the advisa-
blity of changing over to the use OF
but. under the old ownership nothing
definite was decided upon in the
way of change.

1.-THE road made n thorough investi-
cation into the dispatching of trains
| by telephone, and recommended that
a telephone system be installed on
the Hooking Valley, but before steps
had been taken to do this the road
had changed hands and had come in
to control of the Chesapeake & Ohio.
Since that time, owing to legal diff
ficulties, things have been rather
muddled, but now u will not be
long until the change is made.
A representative Of the Western
Electric company has been going ov-
er the lines of the company and Is
now engaged in making up estimates
on the installation of telephone
system for the duispatching of all
trains. General Manager Connors is
heartily in favor of the change, and
| at the present time over half OF the
lines of the Chesapeake and Ohio are
being operated by telephone and
within a short time the entire sys-
sem will be connected with telephone
wires.
Just how soon the installation OF
the telephone system will be begun
is not known but It will not be long
before a start is made. as II Is the
hope of the company to get 1t in
complete working order this year
Wherever the telephone has been
used in train dispatching 1t has
been found most satisfactory, and the
Hooking Valley will be the first road
in Ohio TO be completely equipped for
the handling of all its trains by tele-
phone.

JOHNSON MONEFsl
~ NOT IN SIGHT
Odds on Fight 10 to 8 With
Jeff as Favorite.
CAME AS Big SURPRISE

Tom Corbett, Betting Commissioner,
Unable to Hold Price at 10 to z.
coIored Fighters Friends Who
We're Expected to Flock In With
Money After Getting Line on
Training Form Fall to Materlsiize.
Apathy Is Explained.
San Francisco. June 22.-Jeffries is
once more a 10 to 6 favorite over
Jack Johnson in the heavyweight
battle that will take place at Reno,
New. The announcement OF the
change in odds by which the retired
champion is once more installed as
favorite at the same price that
marked the beginning OF wagering,
was made by Betting Commissioner
Tom Corbett. The announcement
came as a surprise, for It had oeen ex-
pected as soon as Johnson showed
his true form in training at the
beach that his supporters would flock
In with their coin. But the long
training through which Johnson has
been apparently didn't bring about
the anticipated result, and Corbett
has been forced to make a change in
the odds.
"At odds Of 10 to 7. which has been
maintained for several weeks, there
was absolutely no Johnson money
coming in to cover the JEFF coin. In
fact Johnson money would not re-
spond, consequently I was forced to
change the price. and at the present
odds Of 10 to 8 | can give the people
either end they desire. Heretofore
] have not made any forecast as to
what would be legitimate betting at
the ringside, but ] am inclined to
think at 10 to the price has settled
to its true FORM" said Corbett.
The apathy OF the Johnson support
ers is hacd to explain, unless Il ia
they have been waiting for change
In the price that would bring them
better odds. The fact also that so
many have been impressed with the
showing made by Jeffries In his
training ramp has also strengthened
the betting from the standpoint Of
the white man.
