CATTLE-There were no cattle of any
consequence in the yards this morning, hut
for the week receipts have been the largest
of the year to date, showing not only large
gains over all previous weeks, but being
almost twice as large as for the same week
a year. ago. AS explained before in these
columns the large receipts Of cattle at this
time OF the year are due to dry weather on
the range, which cured up the grass earlier
than usual, SO that cattle are ready to ship
and are coming to market a month earlier
than usual
While there has been a considerable
sprinkling of cornfed steers on sale all the
week the demand has been SO brisk that
prices have gradually firmed up and at
the close of the week are 26c higher than
one week ago. Even medium grades OF cat
better grades. Range beef cattle have also
been very good sellers all the week, with
prices on that kind as much as 1oq15c
higher than one week ago.
The supply Of cows and heifers has been
very liberal throughout the week, but not
too much so to meet the requirements Of
buyers, Fairito good kinds have sold very
freely with gradually strengthening prices
and they are safely 10016c higher than last
week. on the other hand common and can
ming kinds have not been such brisk sellers
owing perhaps to the. large increase in
the receipts on that kind and IS result
they have shown no Improvement as re-
CARDS prices.
that there never was time when tho pro-
portion OF feeding cattle was so small as
compared to the total receipts While a
good many trashy light stockers have been
coming forward desirable feeding cattle
have been in very small supply. As result
OF this prices throughout the week have
been firm and at the close are generally
quoted as much as 25040c higher than they
were q week or ten days ago. In some
cases possibly SOC advance may have been
made.

HoGs-Active demand and brisk trading
in the hog yards this morning gave the
market very robust Appearance in both
divisions There were plenty OF wrinkles
in trade surface, as might be expected. but
any new ones were welcomed by sellers,
much of the stuff selling on quotably
strong basis. In a general way the market
ruled steady 20 strong, heavy and rough
heavles claiming most all of the slightly
higher margin.
Eastern advlces were lower, but this
phase OF the trade was ignored by buyers
as supplies were limited. Shippers needed
only a few hogs and the bulk went to the
packers, everything going 10 the scales
within two hours after the market opened
HeaVies moved around SLb6Qf.60, and gooo
mixed brought S7.7O@7.SO, according to
weight Lights commanded S7.sOgS.oO and
! on up as high as $5l5. which was the top
price paid Bulk ranged from T.b5 TO $3.50.
The weeks trade has been more or less
uneven with receipts liberal and weights
still running heavy, Average trade today
| is generally steady with average trade last
Saturday, but range has narrowed some
what. In other words, heavy hogs are SELL
| ing around l0c higher than week ago,
while light hogs are moving at figures
a big nickel lower.

Edward Payson Weston, the veteran
pedestrian who was In Dodge City on
March IA on his transcontinental walk,
reached his goal, New York City ats:l0
on Monday OF this week. The walk from
Dodge to New York City was made In 80
dAys, but II you are thinking Of walking
1t you had better allow few days In ex-
cess OF that. Weston had 13 days to his
credit for shortening his schedule, when
he arrived. He was to make the trip In
90 days and did make 1t In II. It is
said that he will receive 800 per day for
every day the schedule was cut down,
which will net him $500 for that fea-
ture of his trip. There seems to be
money In this walking game.
There is q good deal Of talk In Color
ado at present about prosecuting the peo
pie OF the irrigation districts there for
allowing their bitches TO overflow. The
objection OF course Is that 1t ruins the
roads. When a Kansan goes through
those districts and sees the people Of
Colorado overflowing bitches and max
ing lakes upon the roads aud prairies,
where the water evaporates 80 fact that
you can almost see the operation It looks
to him like the Colorado people are try
Ing to waste all the water they can not
use on the land, 80 that none Of 1t can
come into Kansas. II the people who
are wasting water are prosecuted, no one
here will object. The Colorado folks are
wasting lot Of water at present.
