Chicago, Feb. while there were no
prime steers on the market, there were
number above the 81 mark, and $3.50
was paid for one string, while it was
figured that the right quality of steers
would have made So.
A marked decrease in the receipts of
cattle last week braced up the market
in good shape and resulted in values
ascending to their former level. The
drubbing the market received the pre-
vious week at the hands of buyers put
the country in a conservative mood
and feeders decided that it was a
wiser policy to hold the thin, light
cattle back than to market them at
such a discount While it is true that
most of the cattle received this week
were common in quality and short-fed,
the decrease in the supply made COM
petition much stronger for them and
values climbed up rapidly. Evidently
the consumption of beef did not
counted on when the agitation against
high prices started. Last week buyers
took as few cattle as possible and put
Oh lllc greatest DSdI 1911 ~ eSSuI iSd1
ing that they would have to lower
meat prices in conformity with public
sentiment. The boycott" however,
did not amount to anything appreciate
and this week they needed a normal
supply of cattle. Mondays offerings
were far below the average and higher
prices We're secured. but the worst
shock to the buyer was when the total
g. fa11 halN tak,
was the lightest Wednesday in a very
long time. Since the middle of the
week demand has not been so urgent
and buyers managed TO get some of the
sharp edge off the trade. However, the
market closed the week 25@40 cents
higher than a week ago on most of
the medium to good steers and prices
are about back to the place they were
before the agitation started.
Receipts for the week totaled $4,000,
against $4,000 the previous week and
So 900 a year ago. There is some spec
next week and many are looking for a
good sized run as a direct result of
the uplift in the market.
In spite of the higher prices paid
for all kinds of cattle last week the
took extra choice heavy steers to bring
that figure. Buyers are trying hard
to pull the top closer to the bottom.
There We're only few sales during the
week at better than 81, and the bulk
Of the whole supply went at s5.15@6.75.
There were a good many light. Short
fed steers again at s4.40@5, showing
that the country is still anxious to un-
load cheap stuff. In many cases these
cattle were shipped in because of the
scarcity of corn.
Hogs.
Hogs climbed to $S.75, which was 15
cents higher than the top last week.
Lambs.
Lambs sold at s9.o5, a price passed
only once this year.
Sheep.
Sheep were active and sold a sharp
advances. In a general way sheep were
10 to Is cents higher than the closing
last week.

The three girls playfully shook
their heads at the gallant host.
And when they looked at Horatio
he knew he was flushing to the very

alone with Jane. She suddenly
smiled.

SOCIETY AND
THE OPERA.

In Harpers Bazar. Ralph Pulitzer,
son of the great editor of the New
York World. continues to hammer
New York society with the relentless
brilliancy shown in his December ar
ticle in the same periodical. Among
other things he says, discussing the
opera:
"The dinner being leisurely COM
pleted. the hostess remarks obviously
to her husband that she supposes the
men might perhaps smoke their Gig
ars on the way to the opera. This is
probably more from kindly desire
to free the women from one another's
society in the drawing-room than
from any desire to reach the opera
earlier, but the men always acquiesce,
and pile into one carriage or auto
mobile and with their cigars and Gig
arettes, while the ladies enjoy one
another's company in another vehicle.
"They quickly reach the opera, and
walk up enc flight of stairs, to the
distant muffied murmurs of the Or
chestra and an occasional high note
from one OF the singers, loud enough
to force its way out to them. These
solitary and sudden notes. robbed of
all musical quality by the inaudibil-
ity of their context, sound as If some
sublimated butcher shop within were
being operated to slow music. But
one of the guests, at some unusually
penetrating scream. is sure to breathe
'Ahl' (as she hastens her steps up
the stairs); 'Ah!' in tones of tender
and preposterous appreciation. Why
she does it she could not herself ex-
plain, for she has not the least inten-
tion of listening to the music when
she reaches the box. 1t is probably
done from the same instinct that
would make her honestly declare, If
questioned. that she was devoted to
music or to childrem although she
might not know fugc in one from
a whooping cough out the other.
A curious traditional attribute Of her
sex, this devotion to music and chill
dren. which she still feels it seemly
to subscribe to in theory"

Then he made a formal acknowl-
eedgement Of the invitation Of the
hostess, and called a messenger boy.
Jane and Ann and susanl" he
muttered as the boy turned away.
"Sir?' said the boy.
Nothing replied Horatio.
At O'Clock he presented himself
at the substantial home on West
Eighty-sixth street. As the maid
opened the door he heard a gust of
hastily-checked laughter. The maid
took his card and his hat and coat.
and ushered him into the little re-
ception room. Here the hostess. with
a delightfully."- cordial manner, met
him and bade him welcome.
"Your cousins will be down in a
moment or two" she explained. @If
they were not so mischievous they
would be more prompt. l understand
you have never met them?"
No, Horatio had never met them.
II think you will be surprised. y
HOratio felt sure of it. @They are
charmingly unaffected. This, of
course, was neat way of character
izing their disregard of decorum.
I've known them since they were lit
tie girls. All, I think they are COM
ing!p
Horatio thought so too. There was
a scramble and a wild clatter on the
stairs, and three young women rushed

And beads and red blankets.
cried Susan,
And then they trooped up the stairs
with much laughter, the irrepressible
Susan bringing up the rear with
few sharp "yip-yips" and a prolonged
whoop.
A little later the hostess, who
seemed i'll at ease, excused herself on
the plea that the girls might need
her, and followed them to the upper
floor.
It was not a pleasant quarter of an
hour for Horatio, but it finally ended
and he heard the girls coming down.
They wore long wraps and hoods, and
he could not discern the changes they
might have made in their costumes.
Hope you didn't find the wait
long?n said Jane.
I'VE are considered quick dress
ers. added Ann.
Susan giggled.
"Susan!" cried Jane, warningly.
Horatio took his hat and coat.
And may l ask where we are 60
ing?7 he said
we are going to Colonel Abner
Slows home.' Jane replied.
Colonel Abner Stowl" repeated
Horatio. THE railway mann"
Yes. He was our fathers partner
for twenty years. The reception is
just for us, you know, and not big
affair at all. The coloners house is
only a block away. We can walk.
Horatio didn't say much during
tnat brief walk. He was glad the
girls were going to the home OF an
old friend-and a Western man at
that.
And the very eminent captain of
finance had been their fathers part
ner? He wished to know more about
them.
The colonel and his wife met the
little party at the doorway and gave
them a warm greeting.
Don't wait for the girls, my boy, .
he said to Horatio in his bluff way.
Come right down and talk with me. -
So Horatio hurried down and the
colonel shook hands with him again.
You're a lucky lad,1 he said.
You've got the three finest girls on
the Pacific Coast in tow tonight. oh,
I've known them since they were kid
dies. They're dearer to their father
than his eyes. There's nothing money
would buy that he hasn't layished on
them. and they are as fine ladies as
their mother-and l couldn't say
more
And then Horatio heard rustic be-
hind him and there stood his three
cousins.
He gave little gasp.
What they wore he didn't know.
but it was something filmy and fas-
cinating, and their hair was beautiful
to behold. 1t was a magic trans
formation. and he gasped again.

promptly. "We were on top of the

IL was born near Boston," Horatio
answered. Il came to New York
four years ago
I'm glad Of that" said Ann. "rm
glad you are not real New Yorker.
New Workers are so cold and oflish,
and so lacking in everything genial
and friendly"
Horatio remembered his letter with
a little twinge, and his face flushed.
He wished he hadn't sent it. He
wished he had hurried out of town
instead Of consenting to meet these
dreadful Westerners.
But before he could reply the vol
uble Jane came to his relief.
Have you been abroad. cousin?"
she asked.
"once for a brief stay" he an
swered.
I'VE have been to Japan twice. ="
said Susan, and three times to the
Philippines, and twice to Honolulu.

There was a sudden laugh from the
hostess. They all looked at her.

tie effort. Il was Just family Won
dering how that dance could be done

Even Horatio was forced to smile,
but it was a painful effort. He was
never more uncomfortable in his life.
His Western cousins with their dread
fal hair and Haunting ribbons were
fully as uncultured as he anticipated.
It was an unsatisfactory repast. And
there was all the evening at the re-
ception ahead of him.
But at last the tea came to an end.
They went back to the reception
room. but the three girls paused in
the doorway.
"You must excuse us for a little
while. cousin" said Jane. "We have
