WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
tBy J. A. Rlol,art, Correspondent,

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. 9, IoII. Last week was the ban ner week of the season in cattle receipts here, 83, 1000 head, includ- ing o,ooo calves, but the present week promises to eclipse it, The run today is 3I,ooo head including 2ooo show cattle to be exhibited at the Royal, Prices eased off little last week after the early session on Wednesday,, and good beef steers came in for as much loss as anything, IS to 25 cents Enough buyers from the country came in to hold stockers and feed CTS nearly steady, and butcher grades lost only shade. The general market is steady to weak to-day, some sales 10 lower. Bulk of the supply today is from distant ranges. Seventy-hve cars Old Mexico steers are on sale, mostly direct from the Republic, some from Kansas. They sell at S3.So to S4. 80. Old Mexicos from Eastern Colorado sold at S4.I5. Panhandle two year olds of good breeding sold at S5.2s today, to feeder buyers. A ship ment of Akard feeders, from Mont rose, Colorado: sold today at S5. 10 and SAYS. Top natives are still eligible in the S8 figure, but only few cattle get up to S7.5 50, bulk oi the fed steers stop at S7, top native grassers S7.Io, bulk S5. 50 to S6. 50. Quarantine receipts are heavier than week or two ago, but a good many will be carried on to feed, and runs from that source are not threatening. Steers sell at S4 to 4.75, few up to S5.25 which is the top today. Panhan- dle cows bring S3. 50 to S4. 30, and are coming freely. Calves are so cents lower than a week ago, top. veals S7.25, heavy calves around $5. The expected shortage in cattle next spring is apt to be dis counted by an extra number of cattle being carried over this fall a practice that is more or less general.
 The hog market acted more creditably last week than for a long time, but it declined a little at that. The battle between sell lers and buyers is not all one sided, as it has been for two or three months, but statesmen often gain a victory. Prices are up , to 10 cents today, top S6.35. This is IS cents above the low time last week, and the market quit with little bloom left on it. Fewer pigs are coming than a short time ago, and they are 50 cents higher than a week ago, selling at S4.25 to S5. 50.
 Sheep and lambs were uneven last week, but in the end were not changed any to mention. The run IS IS, ,ooo today, market steady. Top lambs brought S6.I5 today, from Utah, Arizonas at S5.8 feed: ing lambs S4.oo to $5.25, lat weathers up to S4.Io, ewes S3.75. Feeding yearlings sell at S4.oo to S4 40. Dealers do not expect much change in prices for the next week or two.

Few girls have ever been more feted
In their drst season in society than
Miss Helen Taft. Scarcely a night
since the afternoon Of Dec. 1, when
she was formally presented to society.
has Miss Taft been free. The most
elaborate balls and receptions have
been given by ambitious and admiring
friends in her honor. No White House
debutante has ever been the recipient
OF more attention. despite the fact that
she was not twenty years old until Au-
gust.
Since her debut she has been more
In the forefront of society than her

aroused much curiosity.

been simply holding back for better

ing, the investor is seeking larger re-
turns, and is really in position to in
sist upon better terms The most
favorite form of investments just now
is either bonds or short-term notes,
and it is estimated that a large

centers. 1t is about time that the
January investment demand made it.
self apparent, as shrewd buyers often
make their selections in December in
anticipation of the January disburse-
ments. The purchase of Ontario &
Western by n. Y. Central strength
ems the belief that the latter is con-
tempiating a large issue of bonds or
notes.
General trade shows the slackness
usual at the end OF the year when
business men are more engaged with
closing accounts and stock taking
than with consideration of new enter
prises. This is also the period OF the
year when out-of-door work is largely
suspended, which further tends to
quietness in trade. Basic conditions,
however, are sound and reasonably
satisfactory and the tendency is to-
ward ultimate improvement. The
volume of trade, though somewhat less
than a year ago, has not shown the
contraction that was expected, and
does not support the recent COM
plants of reaction. Conditions are
not as bad as represented by those
who have been disturbed or disgrunt-
led by one cause or another. The
year just closing has been one Of de-
cided quiet. We have been taking the
rest cure with benefit But there has
been no retrogression of consequence,
only a general readjustment which will
place the country in much better
position for fresh forward move
ment than was the case a year ago.
The annual report of the Department
of Agriculture shows that our crops
this year were valued at about $8,4OO,-
5000, or only about per cent below
last year All the important crops
were slightly smaller in quantity ex-
cept cotton, but values realized in
nearly every case were higher, so
that the agricultural classes enjoyed
liberal but not record-breaking pros
perity.
