Kansas City Stock Yards. Feb. c.
Cattle prices broke 5 to 25 cents last
week, covering pretty nearly every
thing. including stockers and feeders.
There was a firm feeling the last days
Of the week, with some promise of
strength this week at Kansas City,
though Chicago dealers sent out the
worst kind of a danger signal to ship
pers in their territory. A bad storm
in Illinois and Iowa cut down receipts
at that market today still further, and
with an estimate there today only two
thirds TO one-half as big as the nor
NAL Monday size the trade pricked up
its ears and hurried to the selling
pens here this morning Run here to-
day is 10000 head, and sales are 10
Ito 10 higher all around. Top steers
today brought $500, the tail ends of a
feed lot that furnished $3.50 cattle two
weeks ago other cattle sold up to
1925 today, and 1t was a $500 to $6.f5
deal on most of the steers Commits
sion men say that good deal of paper
is maturing this month, which will
bring in some cattle that might be held
back otherwise Killers say that beef
channels are worse clogged than ever,
that 1t got into worse condition last
week even than 1t had been in before.
Nevertheless, they are buying steers
anxiously attheadvanee today They
admit making some profit on the med
ium priced cattle, and concede that il
receipts drop down little beef may
b advanced a little, and show a profit
on the good heavy cattle they have in
coolers. Quarantine steers have been
coming in fair volume, but light today,
Is loads, steers today at $515 to 5000
Hay fed steers from the west have
sold at $5.40 and $3.50 lately, and Colo
RADIO feeders at $3.50 to 1915. Native
cows bring $40O to $500, heifers $4.75
to $500, bulls $4O0 to $500, veal
calves up to SS.25, stock steers $500 to
s5.75. feeders $3.50 to $500
Hog receipts last week kere $4,000
head. an increase of $4,000 head over
same week last year Prices went
down fast first of the week. but re-
covered a good part of the loss before
the close, net loss 10 cents for the
week Run is 5000 today, market 5 to
10 higher, heavy hogs at 1856 to $7.7O,
medium weights $3.50 to s7.75, lights
s7.65 to SITS. Eastern killers have
bought lot of hogs here lately, which
has forced the hand of local killers.
Armours drove cost more here than
in Chicago on different days last week.
Hogs averaged 226 pounds in weight
here in January, 205 pounds January
last year
Sheep and lambs dropped 10 to 25
cents last week, but ended up pretty
strong Friday. when the top price of
the week was paid for shipment of
theRonssee lambs from St Marys,
Kansas, 5000. Run is 1900 head here
today, mostly from Colorado. The
market is around steady today, little
weak on the edges, top lambs $500,
ewes today at $4.O5, wethers worth up

.PRETTYMAN suit DROPPED
Charges of Defamation of Chara c
fer by DR.. Knott Will Not be
Brought to Trial.
rha ait for defamation OF character,

Tho anti for defamation OF character,
broupht in the Warrenton, Va. courts
AGAINST Rev. DR.. j. F. Prettyman,
presiding elder OF the Washington
district of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, by Rev. DR.. J. @.
Knott, formerly of Washington, and
now OF Warrenton, as the result OF the
expulsion OF DR.. Knott from the min
istry has, it is stated, been dropped.
The case was dismissed because OF DR..
Knott's failure to appear and press the
charges.
The members of DR.. Knots former
| congregation in Warrenton are still
highly indignant over the expulsion
OF their pastor, and are sticking to
their announced intention OF selling
their beautiful new church building,
because they cannot have him as their
preacher. The church building is now
advertised for sale in Warrenton, and
| it is to be sold eptember 25, according
| to Or. Prettyman.
DR.. Knott, it is said, may appeal
from the decision OF the committee
which tried him 10 Washington, and
tue case may go before the church con-
ference, whica meets in Nashville,
Tenn, in November.
II have heard nothing from DIR.
Knott, and do not even know where
he is at the present time said DR..
Prettyman last night. II have just
! heard from my attorney in Warrenton
that DR.. Knott failed to press the
charges against me, and that they
had been dismissed. So far as am
concerned, the incident is closed, un-
less DR.. Knott should carry out his
announced intention OF appealing to
the conference. Dr.. Knott is no longer
preacher of our denomination, and
II know nothing of his plans. IT he
| wants to continue in the ministry he
must 70 to another denomination.
The charges against DR.. Knott in
cluded one that he had been seen IN
Washington in company with young
woman we'll known both in Washing
ton and Warrenton. He said that he
had been trying to get a position for
this young woman. who was school
teacher. He was tried before COM
mittee OF thirteen pastors and, after a
unanimous verdict OF guilty had been
returned, was expelled from the min
istry. He filed charges against Dr.
Prettymau on the ground that the pre-
siding elder had discussed the case out
side of the trial room.
