Market Notes.

Business was dull and sluggish in
the cattle market Tuesday because
there were very few good steers of
fered and the regular buyers did not
want the inferior stuff. More than
half the receipts were rangers, which
sold steady.
Stockers and feeders sold steady
with the outside demand rather dis
appointig. Good feeders with weight
sold readily, but all other steers in
this, department sold on weaker
key. , ..s.a. /, w.. 40 ~
Prominent stockmen in Chicago
this week are of the opinion that the
supply of fat steers will not be large
the coming winter, as fewer feeders
were put in than usual They are
rather bullish on the situation, and
look for higher prices for finished
cattle for the next six months.

THE {. {. CONVENTION
Arrangements Completed. Three
Hundred Delegates Expected.

The arrangements for the state
meeting of the Christian Endeavorers
are being completed today. We have
already about one hundred applica-
tons of delegates for lodging and if
we can judge at all upon this large
advance showing there will probably
be three hundred people here. How
ever, to date we have entertainment
provided for only about one hundred
and fifty. II this probable crowd OF
three hundred people does come, we
will have to appeal again to the peo-
pie of Oskaloosa to furnish entertain
ment. 1t would be to the lasting
shame of the city if we cannot care
for the delegates to this convention.
We wish again to invite all the peo'
pie of the city to attend. the sessions
of the convention. Many of them will
be of great interest to all. AS the
program now stands and as it appear
ed In Mondays Herald, there are to
be denominational rallies on Friday
