MARKET, STOCK
AND RANGES

Kansas City, Stock Yards,
IT - -rslnesdou was a low
spot IN the cattle market last
week, paucity of offerings after
that allowing statesmen to re-
coup most OF the loss of that
day, the week closing not much
different from the opening. The
month of March finished up with
a loss of $1,000 cattle from the
same month last year, which
was q light March at that, indi
eating the sluggishness of the
beet trade at this time. The run
here today is 10000 head,
slightly more than the first esti-
mate, and the market is very
satisfactory, about steady with
the close of last week, and the
action good. No. 3 good to
prime steers are here today that
usually top at IS so, and a fair
delegation of steers at $6.15 to
$3.50, including some extra
heavy Steers at $G.25. A large
number Of Nebraska steers are
here today, most Of them at Sc
to $3.50, with some light steers
at $3.50 to Sc. The quarintine
division had some good cattle
TODAY, sales at $40 to $6.1O.
Ward Brothers, Gushing, Okla.
had train here today at $3.50.
Same shippers had a train of
same steers here last Monday at
$3.50 and $500, showing how
slight is the change in prices
since week ago. While there
is no expectancy of much i'm
provement in steer values at
present, the market is acting in
an encouraging way today, not
quite so easily congested as a
short time ago. Cows bring So
to $3.50, bulls $4.25 to So 25,
he1fers $4.75 to $6.25, calves
at the low point of the winter,
around 81 for best veals, heavy
calves Ground Sc. Feeder buy
ers complain that steers are car
rying too much flesh, probably
a result of admirable climatic
conditions all winter, and prices
on same are a little lower, So

TO FIGHT The
COFFEE TRUST

A worldwide coffee trust is to
receive the attention of Congress
as well as OF the department. of
justice. 1t is charged that the
coffee trust is primarily the Bra
lillian government, but the de-
partment Of justice will have the
opportunity to apply the anti
trust law to the Americans that
are affiliated with the trust.
The names of multi-million-
aires, long powerful IN the coffee
trade, are being given attention.
Investigation has developed
some remarkable facts about the
immense increase in coffee prices
by the combination.
| 1t appears that a standard,
widely used grade of coffee, that
in December, 1898, sold whole
sale in New York at 61a cents a
pound, has risen steadily and
regularly till on January 7, 1911,
it was quoted at 1879 cents. An
increase of over 100 per cent is
no justification wha tever, and no
explanation save that the Bra
lillian trust has the power to
force American consumers to pay
the price.
Representative Norris, of Ne
braska who offered the original
resolution to investigate the al
legged trust, will make sensa.
tiona1 speech as soon as he can
get the floor in the new session.
Democratic tariff authorities are
looking to find what sort of tar
if conditions can be applied 10
Brazil to induce better treat
ment. A tariff war with Brazsl
would be annoying to the Unit
bed States; it would be a calami-
ty to Brazil.
Representative Norris will in.
troduce early a bill to provide
that the maximum rates may he
imposed III case foreign gov
ernmeut is party to a combina-
ton or conspiracy to establish
monopoly and extort unnatural
prices from American consumers.
This would do the business in
the case of Brazil.
