Los Angeles Market Letter

Los Angeles, March 25. Los Angeles prime fed beef prices de- livered weights are steers 6.5o to- 6.75 cows 5.5o to 5.75 veal 700 to 7.25.
 The feeder market is still weak and the northern buyers have not even been willing to pay the South ern Utah prices asked of 30 for year old steers and 36 to 38 for threes steers, and most of the Southern Utah spring delivery re- mains uncontracted.
 While Montana and Oregon and other portions of the northwest will have more feed than cattle this year there is little money in feed ing under present prices and con ditions, and the large feeders are discouraged. The northern and eastern markets did not pay the prices paid in the Los Angeles market this year for approximate grades of cattle and some north ern men have shipped to this market and secured better prices than they could in Washington, Omaha, Kansas City or San Fran cisco, but it would be too much to hope for repetition of such con ditions.
 From all appearance there will be great number of California steers which will not fatten, and it is doubtful if 20 per cent of the California steer holdings will make spring beef. This should leave a considerable surplus of June and July feeders for the fall demand.
 While it is true that the top eastern market prices last week were 8. 30 to 8.85 the allnumber sold at that price were 400 to 1000 lbs steers highly finished, and such cattle as we would be unable to put out here in the west under our feeding conditions. The grade of beef steers equalling the grade generally used here, viz. medium steers Io5o lbs to II5o lbs brought Gas and the lighter steers such as Imperial and sometimes Phoenix feeders turn out only brought goo to Io5o lbs 5.8o. These prices are therefor consider ably less than local prices.
 On feeders the eastern market paid last week 5.Io for steers equal to be best Northern Aizona steers, and the weight and shrink to transport these. cattle east would cost considerably over one cent per pound. Stock heifers in the eastern market brought as low as 3.6o and thin young cows $40, and it would therefore be apparent that western prices are not in accord with the general market, and that explains why buyers will not purchase and there is tempo rary inactivity in the stock busi- ness.
 The 5o3 head of dehorned white face steers, coming threes, offered locally at s per head did not sell and have now been withdrawn and placed upon feed.

POLICE PROMISES SENSATION.
The police of Anderson stated last
night that they have unearthed evil
dence which will cause the arrest to-

questered $40 lost by John Roberts on
the street last week. A man came to
police headquarters last night and said
that while standing on corned he saw
Roberts drop the money and saw the
woman pick it up. He said he was
close enough to observe that the
money consisted of one twenty and one
ten-dollar bill. Owing to the promi
nence of the woman. whose name the
police decline to reveal. they say sensa-
tional developments will follow. Rob-
erts advertised for his keys and the
money, but received no reply.

HEROES OF A NIGHT.

Some startling facts were brought
out IN the long drawn British investi-
cation of the Titanic disaster.
For instance, as we know. some
passengers mostly of the first cabin
were saved: all the officers except two
were saved; a few seamen-used as
oarsmen for the boats--were saved.
But
All the engineers save one, all the
stokers and coal passers went down.
And yet these men of all those
aboard best knew the peril Of the ship.
And not one of them made an effort
to get away. Every one, save one en-
gineer, died at his post.
You remember the thrilling story of
how the band went down, playing up
to the last final plunge. The story
was exaggerated and has been denied.
However that may be-
The splendid men who made the
wheels go round did stay by the strick-

MEANEsr sUFFRAG1sr OUTFIT

OF all the foolish and wicked
things which the militant suffragists
in England have done, the meanest is
their extensive raid, carefully plan
ned. on the postal letter boxes in
London when they were filled with
Christmas mail These misguided
women poured black and red fluids
into the boxes for the purpose of
obliterating the addresses on Christ
mas parcels.
This is not striking at the govern
ment. 1t Is not attacking public men
in office. 1t isn't even playing
politics. 1t is simply an attempt TO
cause the greatest possible trouble
and heart-ache with the least pos
sible risk.
Imagine the state of mind of wom-
en- who could deliberately set to work
to prevent thousands of Christmas
packages, the property of other peo-
pie who had done them no wrong.
from getting to their destination for
the holiday which means more to
children than to any one else. Here
is deliberate effort to deprive a
great number of boys and girls, as
well as older folks, of the Joy which
Christmas membranes give It ie
impossible to measure the disap-
pointment and mental distress which
could be caused by plotting out the
addresses on even a small fraction oil
the Christmas mail handled in a city
like London.
IL such tactics could overawe the
Births ministry and force it to bee
for peace on what ever terms the
sufragists might demand, wha1
would these women think of men who
gave way to attacks which are Grim
inal and destructive of the rights O
innocent private citizens? Could tn,
suffragists themselves have any re
spect for SO weak and cowardly gov
eminent?

HOME ADJUSTMENTS.

Not more than five years ago the
only idea the average person had of
a good time was to get out of town.
This applied to Hammond as well as
to the other cities of the region.
Probably rs per cent of the Christ
then. Now not to exceed % per cent
of the volume of the Christmas shop
ping is done in Chicago.
In the parlance of commerce the
balance of trade" is now in favor of
this community. More money is COM
ing in to the Hammond merchants
than is going out to the Chicago mer-
chants.
Five years ago New Years eve cost
the community several thousand dol
lars in sums spent for convivality in
the theatres and cafes of Chicago.
This year over 100 tables have been
reserved at the Hammond Country
Club for people who formerly had
parties in Chicago.
This alone means a distribution OF
at least $500 among the grocers and
other business men OF Hammond. But
this one affair merely indicates the
trend of public sentiment.

The fact that Boehne has now de-
