CATTLE-Cattle receipts were very
hght, in fact, the smallest that they have
been FOR tuesday since the first Tues
cay OF the year, January =. This makes
the total for the two Gays only 1905 head,
as against l1,2zJ head Tor the same days
last week and 9,7yS head for the same
period year ago. At the same time
other market points were moderately
supplied. so that the total number OF
cattle on sale at the big markets was
very moderate for this time OF the week
Under the influence OF good buying
demand and the big slump in receipts
prices on all kinds OF beef steers bounced
upward this morning. the market as a
whole comd safety be quoted as a good,
Ter OF tact, however, there was a Few
sales OF cattle that looked even higher
than that. Practically everything in
time alter the market opened
What has been SAID regarding beef
steers would apply equally as well to
COWS and heifers. They too. were active
IMAM yesterday, to say the least, ana ev-
erythlng sold In a very short time.
Ihe country demand for stockers and
Feeders thus Tar TINS week has proven
very light. Spectators had cattle on
hand today for winch there were few
buyers, ana they in their turn were very
SLOW about taking on hand more stock.
stock cattle and feeders were in today
was light and the market slow to lower
II must be remembered, however, that
stock cattle and feeders did not decline
10 the same extent as killers last week,
80 that they were stlll hign after taking
into account any weakness that may have
been developed today.

Hen NOT BIRD
So Rules U. S. Court in De
oision on Chinese Com
modify from China.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Eggs are
eggs, also a hen is not a bird. So
says the United States court of Gus
toms appeals, in a decision which
seems to settle a question which has
muddled the customs, perplexed the
experts and finally call in the ZOO
logists.
Eggs coming from China usually
are broken out of the shell, packed
in tin cans and frozen. Customs Of
icials contended they entered this
country in competition with home
laid eggs and assessed a duty of five
cents a dozen.
The importer objected, claiming
they should be free of duty under
that section of the tariff which puts
the eggs of birds on the free list and
contended that at most they were
only albumen and dutiable as such.
The full bench of five Justices
agreed that the importers claim that
a hen is a bird lacked merit and that
an egg is an egg in the shell or out
of it.
Recently the court held that a yam

the important C5ills to be introduced
at this session of the legislature,
and one that will have the approval
of the state administration, as well
as that of many Democrats, is the
workmen's compensation bill. which
is really a fellow servants bill along
somewhat different lines from those
heretofore introduced. The bill is
intended to avoid the present de-

present employers liability law un-

provides for immediate compensation
in case of injury, whether on not this
injury is caused by negligence on the
part OF the employer. In some ways
