live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. g, l910.- Cattle received here this week 55,100, last week 47,900, same week last year 59,900. The market on heavy fed steers has continued draggy this week till yesterday, when there was some better feeling, but the market is closing the week 10 to 20 lower on them. Cows and heifers advanced a little first of the week, but lost their again yester- day and to-day, closing about steady, while medium and light weight steers, and the cheaper short fed cattle have held up steady to strong, closing 10 higher in some cases. Some fancy Christmas beeves sold to-day at $7.30, weigh. ing 140S, which is top for the week. Yearlings sold first of the week at $670 to $6.90 for tops, and best heavy steers outside of the Christmas cattle to-day brought $665, early in the week. The cause of the weakness in heavy fed steers is too many of that class of cattle being put forward, principally at Chicago, Buyers prefer the cheaper cattle, and refuse to ill their cool. CTS with high costing stuff. A year ago high class fed steers were scarce, and were commanding a premium of one to two dollars per cwt, above the cheaper kinds, but no such margin separates them now. Bulk of the fed steers sell at $500 to $500, few up to S6 g, very few above this. Top heavy

even in sight of the cattle pens will recall the peculiar cattle mark ed with a white stripe extending entirely around their bodies, reach ing from a line immediately in front of their hips to a line about six or eight inches to the rear of the shoulders. That is the Dutch Belted cattle and the herd is To- cated in the Mesa section. The breed has only recently been brought from Holland and 65 per cent of the breed in the United States are in Mir. Sanders herd at this place.

COWS bring up to $500, best bulls $500, top heifers $500, bulk in each class ranging downwards about $1.50 in each case. Top veals bring $S25, stockers bring $3.75 to $500, feeders $4 9 to $5 35. About 100 loads of quarantine cat. tie have arrived this week, most. ly short fed steers, at $450 to $5.50, a few heifers at $3.75 to $4 90. Western range cattle have held up firm, receipts fairly good, but much less than last week.
 Hog prices have advanced re. gularly this week, with exception of one day, and close to-day at the top reached this week, $7.65, for best heavy and medium weights, lights mp to $7.60, bulk at $7.50 and upwards. Run this week was 38, 400, last week 45,500, same week last year 52,300. Advancing pri. ces have failed to attract liberal runs, and packers have acted a little afraid of a shortage this week. Armour stayed out one or two days, but it had no lasting effect, and proved costly, as the other packers did not co operate, and loaded up on the cheap days. Outside buyers have taken good many hogs, and were an important factor in elevat- ing prices.
 Sheep this week 2S, 800, last week 35,200, same week last year 35, 500. A big break in prices Tuesday shut off receipts, and buyers had to advance prices promptly the following day, and each day since, prices to day nearly as good as week ago, top lambs $6. 10, yearlings $5 co, wethers $410, ewes $3.S0. Some range stuff is still coming, feeding lambs this week at $5.25, but not much will arrive after this week.

tzaesdabIe Items from the Cattle Ranges
 of Arizona Territory.

Prescott Courier: Don Francis, one of the largest sheep growers in Arizona, was visitor at Pres colt yesterday, and will leave for the southern part of the county today, to make arrangement for the disposition of his focks during the winter The big drove of over 100000 is now passing through the Ash Fork country.
 Globe Belt: Fred Griffin, of Griffin Brothers, cattle ranchers and shippers, has sold his interest in the firm to John Griffin, his Brother and Arch Sanders, and twill go to his former home in gHillsboro, Texas, where he will remain. He goes in charge of a ear load of saddle horses as far as Fort Worth. This brand, the "5 Y" is the one which was sold to San ders brothers last spring and which Eas recently turned back to the original owners, Griffin brothers. The reported price of the deal at ahat time being $60,000. The ranch and range are situated at and around Haystack Butte.
 Tucson Citizen; Eight hundred head of cattle, valued at about ,$16,000 were shipped out of Tucson Sunday, after feeding in the Tue son stockyards since early last week and changing hands twice in r4hat time The cattle were ship ped here through the port of No gales from Mexico. They were imported by Robert Bleins, sold by him here to J. D. Ramsey and Ramsey disposed of them to man named Jones. Seventeen cars of ethe shipment were sent yesterday ete Phoenix, nine to Kansas City, and three to California. The entire shipment is part of a movement of 5000 Hermosillo cattle through this district, most of which are to go to eastern packing houses.
 Arizona Democrat: A carload of fine horses arrived in the Salt River valley. Robinson Bishop bro- Ghers of Topeka, Kans., who about d year ago sold to J. J. Meyers of this city car load of mares and one stallion, have just shipped to Phoenix a car load of fifteen mares and two stalions, which are on sale at the Higley Lamberts yards. These mares and stallion are all nIegistered draft Norman percherons = and are offered for sale at the above named yards There should | be ao difficulty in selling this stock, since it is generally recog- snized by horse breeders throughout the country that the Salt River valley is one of the best horse raising sections Ill the United States and it is the opinion of the Kansas men that the time will come when the ranch men in this section will recognize the fact.
 Mesa Free Press; Frank k. s'3anders, who recently arrived in g the valley from Bristol, New eHampshire, for the purpose of breeding and grading high class cattle and hogs, after carefully flookiRg over the north and south sides has finally decided that the Mesa section offers better oppor- u4unities for his line of business than

WEATHER OBSERVATIONS.
Eruptions From the Sun-Red
Sun and Moon and March
Weather.

1t was the intention to submit
some observations on the wealth
er a week ago today. the last day
Of March, or at least for last
Mondays paper; but other mat
tiers crowded so that it was i'm
possible to do so. Last Friday,
the first day of the month, the
Statesville Landmark printed
some peculiarly apt remarks
about the weather and as they
are just as appropriate now Cor
were when this went into the
hands of the printers) they are
reprinted here. After mentioning
a recent dispatch which men
toned strange eruptions that
have appeared on the Sum-" as
discovered by Prof. Edwin B.
Frost, of Yerkes Observatory,
The Landmark rises to remark:
During the unusual weatherof
the past week-the hazy Indian
summer that has prevalent
SIM has been blood-red in the
rly mornings and late after
Moons and the moon has also
been red. By some these atmos-
pheric conditions have been
ascribed to volcanic eruptions.
Time was when this redness of
the sun and moon, coupled with
the near approach of the comet,
would have been regarded as a
certain sign of war certainly of
some impending disaster.
But these weather conditions,
while unusual and peculiar, have
occurred before many times and
will occur again. On nothing is
memory so treacherous as on the
weather. Every unusual spell it
is customary to say there never
was the like before, whereas
there has been similar weather
many times.
1.-TWO unusual weather condi-
tions marked the month which
closed yesterday. The first was
the absence of wind. For ages
March has been distinguished as
the month when Old Boreas did
Ibis possible" las Col. Sharpe,
of The Robesonian would say.
But latterly March has been not
ed for wind. There is a theory
that if there are not excessive
winds in March they will come in
some other month; that the wind
is there and so much of it must
blow some time. This will make
the nervous apprehensive of
many wind storms the coming
summer.
''The latter half of March was
especially distinguished for high
temperature and fair weather.
The protracted, continuous spell
of warm spring weather was I'M
usual, and it is rather serious for
the farmers who haven't all their
land broken, for the ground is
too dry to pillow. However, we
have now passed 20 the month Of
