Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, August
Is, 1911.
A new high figure was put on
heavy steers today when s7.85 was
paid. This is the highest price paid
since last October, and the trend of
the market is directly toward the
eight dollar steer. All kinds of cat
tie that have had corn as a steady
diet are in strong request, about 10
higher. Packers have been receiving
protests from retailers about the way
the cheap beef has been standing up,
accompanied with orders for a better
class of beef, even if it does cost
more, hence greater efforts to get the
high class animals, and more money
for them. Middle and lower grades
are selling steady today, as the run
of $4,000 head here is moderate for
the season. Quarantine supply today
fell short of the early estimate about
so per cent, and not great many
good cattle are included, top, S.. 20;
1t is said the big owners are holding
back, as cattle are putting on flesh.
Kansas pastures still hold the bulk
Panhandle indicate a good run from
there in the near future. Dealers
now say that with the cattle coming
to market that have been delayed
this season from the grass sections,
receipts will be fairly liberal till the
first of October, but the October and
November runs will develop the
shortage. They are all sure there
will be a shortage. Grass steers from
native territory sell at S5. 90 to 1915,
including wintered steers, few Old
Mexicos and low grade steers down
to S4. Is, grass cows at S.. % to 81 85,
veal calves S. 90 to 81 90, stock steers
81 90 to $500, feeders 81 so to s5. so.
The hog supply today is 1900 head,
market called steady to five lower,
though the top price is S7.55, which
is IL cents above the top yesterday
Buyers are trying to force the mar
ket down, and have entered a revolt
against highly mixed stuff with a
trashy end, hence the widening OF
the spread in the bulk of sales, ST. %
to S7.45. Although the packers make
great show of fighting the market
their battle yields them small victory
as desirable hogs are selling close to
the figures, ruling at the close of last
week, and not more than 20 cents
under the best recent time.
Sheep and lambs are holding about
steady this week, run 5000 today
Dealers are inclined to be pessimistio
and expect lower prices. The North
west is going to market a big crop in
the next two months, and packers
will be in control most of the time
Country feeders will be timid for twe
reasons, the bad outcome of theil
operations last year, and the short
crop this year, and competition from
country buyers will therefore not be
aggressive. 1t might be a good time
| to get in. Best lambs are worth
S7.15, wethers $3.50 to $500, ewes
S3. % to S3. IS, stock and breeding
stuff $3.50 to S3.75, feeding lambs
around S4 IS.

RUSSELL RUSTLINGS

Judge Ruppenthal in Luray Herald)
Some dailies have talked of Senator
Fred Robertson of Atwood as a Dem
ocratic candidate for governor. But
that is improbable, as he is strong
Hodges supporter. Nor has Robert
son any wish to run for Congress. He
is much more likely to stand for a
place at the state supreme bench.
In western county a probate
| judge recently started to use the last
blank journal in his office. He has
held the office for many years, yet
has never bought journal. In other
words his provident predecessors pro-
vided about three blank journals for
the Office against a rainy day when
the county couldn't buy. And for
years the blank book houses have
been dollars ahead.
A high minded probate Judge in
Kansas county was recently urged to
charge greater fees since the total
| income of the office was too meager
| for the good class of work done. He
replied: 81 cannot do so honorably.
| The greater part of the fees of this
office are paid by the unfortunate
classes, widows, orphans and Others
in mental and financial distress. /
collect the lawful fees, but will not
overcharge. If a probate Judge must
overcharge in order to make a bare
living, it is a disgrace to the COM
munity or to the authorities. L
wowld rather relinquish the position
than resort to unlawful acts
The Bulletin of the state board of
health is getting out rather late.

public. Russell county'S health shows
up well for May, there being only one
case of contagious or infectious dis
ease reported-a scarlet fever case.
Only one food analysis comes from
this part of the state. The sample
was sent in by DR.. w. J. Scott,
health officer of Wallace county. The
liquid is called ''apple base cider,

II analyses of water supply one comes
from Wa-Keeney and one from Lu

 The study and understanding of these things has been deemed of :,n much importance by the santa Fe that all of the trainmen on its system are required periodically to undergo a quzzing on this subject. and their pro- motion or discharge from the service are in part due to the success with which they answer these questions. Brakemen have one examination. pn- gineers another, conductors another. and the grade and rigidity gradually Increases in proportion to the respon- s;hility of the office. Several of the tranmen in the employ of the Santa F'e on this division expect to take this examination during the instructors visit and are rapidly "boning up while the car is here The trainmen are required to make so per cent on their examination in order to be re- tained in the company'S service. and to do this represents considerable schooling.
