Weekly Market Letter.

Kansas City Stock Yards, January IS, 1912,
There was a good outlet for
all kinds of killing cattle last
week, and the week closed about
a quarter higher on most kinds.
Stockers and feeders did not
move with their customary
alacrlty, because the severe
weather was against that trade.
Packers took over most of the
f1eshy feeders, endeavoring to
cheaper their droves of short
fed cattle, cost of which is in
creasing from week to week, and
is arousing strong protests. Old
Winter loosened its clutch on the
West Saturday and yesterday
long enough to allow rather
liberal run of cattle to get here
for today's market, $4,000 head,
and this supply landed on a good
spot. Chicago expected $4,000
today, but got only $4,000, and
other markets were moderately
supplied. The stuff here moved
readily. as fast as it arrived, at
strong to 10higher prices. Mum
erous lots of good steers sold at
S7.45 to $7.S5, and this latter
price may be exceeded when the
late trains get in, as 156 cars
were back at noon. Few fed
steers sell under 5000, though
packers have bought some fleshy
feeders down to $3.50. Cows
bring up to $3.50, heifers to So 81

past week Jake Pearson was quite
severely kicked by one OF the
animals. The bcys we're doing the
work and one of them, having
received jolt from the heels of
the horse, Jake stepped in to show
the boys how to do it; he got his
also, and with sufficient force that
he was laid out for the time being.
No serious damage was done his
anatomy, however, and he is about
again as usual. It seemed to be a
day of ill luck for the whole
family. The same day George was
riding a horse that fell on him, and
Wiley. another son. fell down and
had his nose stepped on by another
horse. The net results were no
bones broken, and all parties ale able
to hobble around again. The next
time they have horses to brand they
will Let George do it. :"

Young Edward Notson is now con-
fined to his home in Heppner and
nursing badly cut foot The acoi-
dent happened to him on Friday eve
ming at the swimming hole no Willow
creek where he was swimming with
a couple of other boys, Kenneth Binns
and Brownell Pratt. The boys we're
riding a raft and Edward made jump
into the water. landing on the ragged
edge of broken bottle. A nasty
wound was made in his foot and the
main artery was severed. His COM
panions twisted handkerchief around
the foot above the wound and succeed
ed in stopping the flow of blood, and
brought the injured boy home as rap
idly as possible. A physician was
called and took the boy to the hOspi-
tai where his wound was dressed and
stitched up. In cleaning out the
wound, two pieces of the broken bot
tie were removed from between the
bones of the foot, and an examination
showed that the member was practic-
ally cut from bottom TO top.

- Corporate earning In the United
States decreased $115,500,000 during
the year 1911. That figure represents
the comparative loss in net earnings
as reported to Royal e. Cabell, COM
missioner of internal revenue, for
making assessment under the corpora
ton excise law tax. In statement
issued last Saturday, Mr.. Cabell says
the returns indicate poorer business
conditions last year than in 1910, par
ticularly in the iron, steel and certain
manufacturing industries. The gross
receipts of corporations did not suffer
as great a ratio Of decrease as net.
The returns indicate, the commission
er points out, that this was because
labor and supply men shared more
largely in the receipts OF the various
com panies in 1911 than in 1910. This
was particularly so, in the case OF
railroads, he says, which seem gener-
ally to have paid increased amounts
for labor without corresponding IN
crease in income being indicated, In
many cases an actual decrease In IN
come being shown" The one per cent
assessment on the 1911 net earnings
of the corporations will turn into the
Federal treasury about $2S,27S,0OO'
most of which will be paid June,
against $29,432.000 last year. a de.
crease Of $1,154,000. The amount VIII
probably be augmented somewhat De-
fore the close of the fiscal year, Mr..
Cabell says, bringing the decrease be-
low $l,OO0,00 Considering business
conditions in 1911, he adds, this may
be considered fairly satisfactory.
While there was big loss In the ag-
gregate net earnings there was an In
crease Of 1850 in the number OF
corporations. The number In 1911
was 287,862, as compared with 270.-
2O2 In 1910. or the total number which
filed returns, only 20 per cent were
found liable to tax. Mr.. Cabell draws
his conclusions regarding the iron and
steel industries from the showing OF
the corporations in the Pittsburg dis
trict. The net corporate earnings In
that section decreased $47,591,0O0.
The manufacturing conditions were
reflected in the returns from Con-
necticut and Massachusetts,. In the
former state the net proceeds decreas-
ed $6, 100000 and in the latter $1l,-
$4,000. The assessments for Hawaii.
the commissioner remarks, Indicate
an extremely prosperous condition In
the islands, the net earnings OF the
corporations increasing $4,274,O00.

the first primary he was out and out
for Mcleod and attended Mcleod con-
ferences. When the fight came down
to you and Featherstone, he left town
while others bore the heat and the bur-
den Of the day, and (until we changed
sentiment In your favor) while those
others also have the odium Of support

that after a struggle Of eighteen years
he Is about to be beaten in politics, he
and his whole rotten crowd; and by
remembering that you have few
friends here that are not only friends
but vassals Of his, he Is ringing in again
the old dispensary cry and looking to
you, through mutual friends, for an
other reign of the perversion Of that
law to his political ends.
Just one word more. Constables,
with but one exception, In my expe-
rience, have been inseparable from
graft. When you were elected, peo-
pie who realized that you would be
under a great debt of gratitude to me,
II you will pardon me for saying so,
actually came to me and showed me
how could become rich by controlling
the constables. OF course they did not
understand me. NV answer was that
I would fight to the last ditch to keep
the grating constahles out Of Charles
ton. They have never suppressed the
sale of liquor, and they have never Sc
riously tried, but, on the contrary,
have aided and abetted its sale, pro-
vided the sale brought profits to them.
The long and short of 1t is that the ap-
pointment of constables in Charleston
to enforce the dispensary law is inde-
fensible from every standpoint. And
that Is all there Is to 1t.

in this respect you will listen to your
friends who cannot be deceived by any
clamor that appears to be cited against
their views, am,
