NJ. K. 4 T. Commission co., .,

Kansas City, July 10, 1911.--WitA
6 900 cattle and 10000 hogs on sale
today we are having stronger mar
ket on all classes of cattle. Tops
yesterday on best, fat cattle was
1870. We saw one load sell today
of light steers and heifers which
sold at $3.50 which was soc higher
than last week.
We have had light receipts bf
stock cattle all week, which sells
from so to 75c higher, and some
cases $1.OO higher than last week
and we would not be surprised If
the rains should set in, to see them
sell fully $1.0O higher in the next
ten days, as there Is strong de-
mand for all good stock CATTLE COM
ing and nothing but dry weather
has caused khe decline in prices.
Steers that sold at $3.50 last week
are selling from 1925 to $3.50 this
week and all other classes in same
proportion. We would advise any
one wishing stock cattle to buy them
at present decline in market.
With 10000 hogs on sale today
market steady to d shade lower. We
look for better prices on we'll fat
tened hogs. The hogs that are now
coming are mostly dry weather hogs.
We expect to see a wider range in
prices from now on than we have
had in the past.
Best fat sheep selling strong to
higher, stock sheep are low, as the
prices have been effected by dry
weather.

Until now the ancient mariners
compass, which has been used by nav
hgators for centuries, has been consid-
cred fixed quantity. 1t Is, therefore,
interesting to learn that an improved
compass is being tested by the navy
department on board the scout cruiser
Birmingham. The new compass 10
combined with a rapidly revolving gy-
roscope, which eliminates all varia-
aion and deviation of the needle Of
ahe compass. This, according to nav
igators, will make the art Of naviga-
tion much easier and remove the un-
certainty OF ships location due to
variation and deviation OF the COM
pass. Another advantage OF the I'm
proved compass is that the main in
strument can be placed In the interior
of the ship, where 1t can be protected
by armor plate. Branch compass sta
tions can be placed in different parts
of the ship, connected by an electric
wire to the qnain compass. So far the
reports on the new compass have been
satisfactory.
