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

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. O.
Out of total receipts last week ag-
gregating $4,000 head at this point,
200 head were bought and ship
ped back to the country. That was
a few more than were taken by this
trade the previous week, and about
100 carloads more than went out
the same week last year The demand
was not quite sufficient to clean up
the offerings, 5000 head remaining
in the pens at the end of the week,
but statesmen were able to get steady
prices on practically everything that
went out. A year ago prices on
country kinds were going down, and
ruled 40 to IS cents lower than at
present. A few fat steers sell up
wards of $500, but the best long
term feeders may be obtained at
$5.25 to 1915, and the best light
weight stockers at $4.65 to $5.15.
The run of cattle here today is 3d.
900 head, which includes 1000 cat
tie to be exhibited at the Royal
Show, in progress here this week.
Bulk of the receipts here today is
from distant ranges and the choicest
of it went into the car lot classes of
the show. On the open market some
high grade panhandle two years Odds
sold at $5.25, and choice yearlings
brought $50. Prices are steady to
little lower today, and it may be
another good week to buy stockers
and feeders, as receipts will no doubt
run heavy all week. Acres of mid
die class cattle are on sale today,
feeders from Nebraska and south
west Missouri weighing 1000 to L.
$50 pounds at $4.40 to $4.75. Thirty
cars of steers of this description went
to the distilleries at Terre Haute.
Ind, last week at cost around
$3.50. Serviceable stock steers are
available as low as $3.50. Stock
cows and heifers are selling steady,
big string of well bred Texas cows
late last week at $3.50, and choice
thin heifers today at $4.40. Good to
choice stock calves sell at $3.50 to
$500. Native grass steers sell to
killers at $500 to $500, quaran-
tine steers at $3.50 to $500. Old
Mexico steers at $3.50 to S4.35, veal
calves $3.50 to 1925.

Girls. Whyc

For the purpose of lecturing young
girls who happen to be on the street
at night without relatives or proper
escort, Police Judge Van Liew con-
templates the idea of holding occa-
sional night sessions of the police
court
Van LEV thinks he could accom-
plish considerable good in this man
ner and prevent the girls of Des
Moines from going to ruin. He an
nounced Monday that the crime of
appearing on the streets could very
quickly be checked if the girls were
arrested and brought into his court.
For the first offense it is his idea to
impose no fine but the second time
he will be more severe. II is Van
Liews idea TO appear at the police
station about twice per month. He
is TO arrive about o'clock and then
the police will be expected to begin
arresting girls. When number
sufficient to command his attention
have been picked up he Will try them.

BUTTER PRODUCTION OF IOWA.
A Great Industry Which Could be
Extended and Enlarged.

There are $50 creameries in Iowa
One hundred and two million pounds
of butter were made in 1908.
Twenty-six million dollars worth
of creamery butter were manurac-
tured.
All of the dairy prducts for the
state were worth 44,50O,000.
One million five hundred and eigh-
ty-six thousand cows produced milk.
Eight hundred thousand COWS pro-
duced milk exclusively for creamer-
les.
There are three condensed milk
factories in the state.
Iowa produces 10 per cent of all
the butter made in the United States.
Iowa produces more butter than
any other equal surface of the globe
except Denmark and Holland.
There are forty-six cheese factories
in the state, making 100000
pounds of cheese annually, worth
100000.
Delaware and Bremen counties of
Iowa produce an average of 5000
pounds of butter per square mile per
annum.
Iowa's value of dairy products is
more than 20 per cent of the total
production of gold in the United
States for the same period, more than
twice, and nearly three times the
amount of gold mined in California,
the leading gold producing state of
the Union. The amount is enough
to equip the United States navy with
four first class battleships and then
have 100000 or so left over.
The dairy business is practically
new in Iowa, as the agricultural re-
ports show that not pound of
creamery butter was made before
1871. In that year John Stewart of
Manchester, Iowa, went into the bust
ness. He sent some of his products
to the centennial exposition at Phil
adelphia and carried off first prize.
This started other Iowa farmers,
until the business today consists of
the manufacture of over 100, 100000
pounds of creamery butter, to say
nothing of cheese and other products
with a value of $45,500,000 last
year
Dairy manufacture takes nothing
from the soil of the state that has
any value to it, but increases the fer
tility and makes possible an increase
in the number of hogs, for the by
products of the dairy are used to
feed the swine.
The dairy district of Iowa is con-
fined largely to the northeastern part
of the state. An average of $4,000
farmers supply creameries with milk.
Among farmers 80 per cent have
either neglected the dairy business or
follow it only as a side issue. 1t is
said this is the reason that the dairy
business hasn't increased faster.
If the ratio of production of the
best counties was maintained
throughout the remainder of the
state, the production could very cas-
lily be increased to 100000
pounds of butter per year, thereby
increasing the wealth of the state
over $5O,O0O,OOO in the production
of butter alone.-Iowa City Republi-
can.
