MOVE SHOW CASES BACK
City Commissioners May Compromise
With Merchants.

It is likely that the city commits
sioners will not carry out their
threats to have all show cases re-
moved from Kansas avenue A big
petition has been started among the
business men to be presented soon.
Fearing that they will oppose too
many interests the commissioners
have practically given up the plan.
1t is probab bic, however. that the
commissioners will order the mer-
chants to move their cases back to
the five foot line. This is the old law
that never has been observed Some
cases are out from the building at
least nine feet.
The city has a right to all the side
walk.
There is a mistaken idea among a
number of the merchants that a few
feet in front of their places of bust
ness belongs to them. Some have
threatened an injunction in case the
show case ordinance is passed. The
city officials are laughing at these
threats. The merchants have occu-
pied the sidewalks so long they have
a feeling that they own them.

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT.
Report of the Conditions of Western
Stock Market at Kansas
City.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. 10.
The satisfactory movement OF all
kinds of beef cattle last week stimu-
lated the call for stockers and feed
ers, resulting in heavy shipments to
the country, aggregating $50 car
loads for the week, about thirty
thousand head of cattle. Prices held
steady to strong all week, with only
a little weakness on the common
stuff remaining in the pens the clos
ing day, about 5000 head carried
ever to this week Receipts here
last week totaled close to 10000
hear, and the outlet proved to be
as good as any week this fall on
everything. Prime steers reached
$685., which is the highest price
paid here on the open market, since
the summer of 1910. Yet not a
great many cattle are going from
here directly into feed lots, the great
est call being for something to con-
sumo roughness, or on the stocker
order. Calves closed the week strong,
me best stock calves selling at $500
20 $5.75. Today the run is $4,000
here, market steady to firm. AS usual
the Monday following Royal Show
-weeF here, not as many buyers from
the outside as usual are here. Range
cattle predominant today, and there
IS plenty of high bred stuff included.
Panhandle yearlings, $50 fb, sold
this morning at 1855, and twos, $40
~, at $3.50, for the country. De-
horned Colorado two year olds
brought $50, horned $4.65, and de-
borned feeders, $40 10, sold at SASS.
Prime native feeders sell up to $500
which is the limit on that kind. same
as it was a year ago. Colorado is
now shipping freely, good receipts
coming in from that section here
last week, and a larger supply from
there expected this week. So far
frost has held off in Kansas, but a
cold snap today threatens frost to-
night, in which event many cattle
will be driven into market. Many
owners have been trying to sell at
home, at a small profit, realizing that
they would have to stand loss on
the open market. These will have
TO turn their cattle Immediately af-
ter frost, or make new financial ar
rangements for carrying them. Ma
tive grass beef steers sell at $500
to S7.15, Colorado S4.65 to $5.35,
quarantine steers $500 to $5.25, ma
tive bulls 1925 to $4.25, veals $3.50
