Kansas City Market Report
Kansas City, February


The fairly good run of IL 600 cattle
here today was met by good sized or
in the hand of buyers, telegraphic or
ders from eastern killers being es-
pecially liberal, and the general mar
ket was steady to a shade higher.
Chicago had slim run yesterday, ac-
count of bad storms in that region,
and eastern killers placed lot of or
ders here yesterday and today. The
good advance out on yesterday, 10 to
Is cents, was regarded as menace at
first this morning, but later it was
disregarded as bear argument and
stuff moved freely. Top steers both
yesterday and today sold at $500, and
a buyer remarked that steers were
selling at 1925 today that could not
have been moved above S61. 90 last
week. Movement of stockers and
feeders to the country last week was
record breaking for this season, 499
car loads. This was more than three
times as many as went to the country
from here same week last year.
Country buying has been extra heavy
all this year so far, shipments in jan
uary from here $4,000 head. as COM
pared with $4,000 head in January
last year Probably a third of the
cattle bought for the country since
the first of the year went directly in
to feed lots, for spring delivery at
the market, balance were stock cattle.
Bulk of the steers today sold at $500
to S6.15, COWS S4.OO to "a. IS, heifers
81. rs to $3.50, bulls s4.25 to $500, veal
calves up to sS.25, stock steers 81. IS
to 1915, feeders $40 to $3.50
Hog run today was nearly 1900
head here, considerbly above the ear
ly estimate, but it did not hurt
prices to any extent. The market
was steady to a shade lower; heavy
hogs selling at $3.50 to s7.75, medium
weights s7.55 to s7.70, lights s7.65
to IT'S. Consumptive orders for hog
product has been satisfactory since
the first of the year, and stocks have
not accumulated to any extent
Packers are trying to lay in some
cheap meat at this time, anticipating
a good demand from the South in the
near future, when spring work in
the fields commences. Housewives
as rule are refusing to use any lard,
and with the prospect of lighter
marketing of hogs as soon as the
winter breaks up, because of muddy
roads, and later activity of shipper in
farm work, the hog situation is re-
garded as healthy.

Company, Limited, the Supreme
Court of New York recently awarded
Mr.. Collier judgment for damage in
the sum of $4,000 The Postum
Cereal Company is located at Battle
Creek Mich, and is managed by one
Charles W. Post.
An exchange says: $50, 900, how
ever, is nothing for Post. but the
matters proved on the trial are differ

but the disclosures made viii be hard

shown Post advertised his GrapenutS
as a cure for everything from appen-
dicitis to loose teeth, which he said
could be made sound through eating.
1t was shown that the pure food

/ his labels, and that his testimonials
were all paid for and rewritten in
Battle Creek, Mich. That health

1 preciate the following from our Kan
sas Prose Poet:
A TESTIMONIAL FROM WALT MASON.
One day while prancing through
4 the town, a big red auto ran me down
and piled me in the gutter; and as
4 lay there nearly dead the thoughts
I that frolicked through my head were
most too rich to utter. My back was
4 broken and a lung upon distant tree
twas hung; my diaphragm was
shattered; my legs were wound
around my neck, my silk hat was
II CHASTITY wreck, my rainment torn and
tattered. Then up there came
wellville man, who said: I'm selling
toasted bran, which cures all known
diseases; and can show you words of
! praise from scientists and other jays.
/ and kindred kinds of wheezes l find
you battered, broken, soiIed; my
1 toasted bran, if rightly boiled, will
heal your hurts and bruises, twill set
\ your diSlocated back, restore your
/ lungs, now out of whack, and mend
! your pants and shoeses. Oh, let me,
friend, prepare a can of my world
famous liquid bran at this unhappy
season; then let me pour it down
your neck and you will cease to be
wreck-believe me. there's a reasonl''
Then from his pocket he produced
heating stove. and then unloaded
some bran and some molasses; he
boiled them for a week or more, the
seething caldron bending DER, and
making mystic passes. And when
the magic brew was made 1 drank it
down like lemonade, and ceased my
walls and sighn'; / hit Jack Johnson
with a rock, and chased Frank Gotch
aronnd a block, and whipped the
Russian lion. Oh, seedy, sick defect
ed man. Fill up, fill up, on wellville

This afternoon negro, Henry How ard, was arrested by Deputy Smith, son on the charge of stealing mule from W. s. Hogg. who lives near Flint Hill. It seems that MT. Hogg was away from home at the time and his daugh- ter saw a negro enter the lot and take the mule. She called to her brother and he, accompanied by another broth CT, brought the negro to the city and turned him over to Deputy Smithson. The man is evidently insane and will probably be sent to the asylum.
