Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, Deem |
Der 13, 1910.
The odds were against cattle sellers
last week, account of continued
liberal supplies at all the market,
especially at Chicago. That market
is entirely surrounded by cattle on
feed, and commission men there are
totally unable to regulate marketing
of same, as shown by run of Al 900
head there to-day. Heavy fed cattle
lost Is to % cents here last week,
light steers and cows and heifers quit
about steady for the week, stockers
and feeders firm. Supply here to-day
is 1900 head, market steady to 10
lower. Some Christmas steers are
showing up, one lot at $7.30 last week,
some at $7.15 and S7.25 to-day, heifers
at S6.65, these top prices paid for
heavy steers in each case. Something
still better is promisd for tomorrow
Outside of these long fed steers,
the best cattle rarely get above $3.50,
while the thirty to sixty day steers
are selling at $500 to $3.50. 1t is
conceded that the big good to choice
steers, at $500 to $3.50, are selling
the cheaper steers, and actually cost
less money on the hooks in many
cases than the cheaper steers. Last
year toppy steers were selling about
two dollars above the bulk, at this
time, but at that time the choice
heavy cattle were scarce because feed
was high and beef makers afraid to
to use it. Bulls bring $3.50 to 81. rs,
veals up to 1925, cows $3.50 to $500,
heifers up to SIS. so, outside of the
Christmas kind, stockers So. rs to
$500, one fancy lot to-day at $40,
feeders .25 to 1926.
Hogs advanced Icose to 35 cents last
week, but the gain failed to increase
receipts any. In fact, the run fell off
six thousand head from previous
week, indicating that confidence in
the future of the market has been
re-established, and that owners
realize their strong position. Run
to-day is 5000 here, market closing 5
to 10 higher, after a turtle effort on
the part of packers to buy hogs weak
to five lower at the start. Heavy
hogs sold at S7.85 to-day, for tops, the
last to arrive, bulk of sales S7.7O TIC
$3.50. Fewer light hogs are coming
than heretofore, and all weights are
selling close together, and near the
top.
Sheep and lambs struck low place
last Tuesday, but came right back up
and to-day are practically as good as
before the break. The run is Il, 0Ot
head to-day, closing market about II
lower, but best lambs at $3.50, year
lings $500, wethers S4.25, ewesS3. IS
If feeders continue to show the same
grade of actuteness as that displayed
in handling the late break, the croI
this winter may be disposed of will
some profit yet. Receipts dropped
down imediately after the break, anC
the supply to-day is the first gooC
run since.

A SEVERE SNOWSTORM.

The worst snow storm OF the WINTER
set in Tuesday afternoon and raged
throughout the afternoon and nlght.
Accompanying the snowfall was hlgh
easterly wind which piled the snow
into drifts. The temperature was SIX
degrees below Tuesday morning. When
the snowstorm started mercury began
to 90 up until at midnight the ther-
mometer registered ID degrees above
zero. The greatest Inconvenience and
injury done by the storm was its effect
on street cars and railway service.
Street cars were stalled for hours and
early in the night the interurban line
had to give up the struggle. Train
service was badly disturbed, all of the
trains arriving from two to ten hours
late. When the storm abated Wednes-
day morning the snowfall was over a
foot. 1t was the worst blizzard in many
years. The country roads were com
pletely blocked. The weather contin-
ued cold Wednesday and this Thurs
day) morning at 8 O'Clock mercury re-
giStered - degrees below zero.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G.. w. MEISNEST.) J

There are at the present time u, 730
library books in the public schools of
Manitowoc county 1.-TWO Rivers and
Manitowoc not included). This makes
an average of about 1900 books for each
town or from lis to 300 books in each
school district. The town of Manito-
voc Rapids has the largest number
1870, followed by FraLklin with 1884,
Newton with 1544, Centerville with
1925, Mishicot with l47S, and Kossuth
with 1447. Fifteen years ago there
wasn't book in the schools which SER
we'd for library purposes. Inquiry has
shown that practicallya of these books
have been read by the pupils in the
school, according to the ability of the
child. During the past year 1905 vol
umes have been added to the school
libraries of the count.

The following extract is from re-
cent bulletin of the Marathon County
School of Agriculture and Domestic
Science:
"Mr. Curler, one of Marathon coun-
tvs prosperous farmers, was a caller at
the school. He says his son, William,
who has been at school one year is so
interested in the work that he can not
keep him away from the school. He
says William saved him the price of an
education this last summer. Mr. Curl
er had always been bothered with
blight on his potatoes. This year the
boy took charge and the potatoes were
green until killed by the frost"
