FELTON, NAMED RECEIVER
FOR PERE MARQUETTE RY.
Succeeds Newman Erb On
Board. Judge Sessions Max
ing the Appointment

AS was generally expected In local
business circles, Samuel M. FELTON,,
president Of the Chicago q Great
Western railway, was appointed re-
ceiyer Of the Pere Marquette railway.
TO succeed Newman Erb. by Judge Ses-
sions, OF Grand Rapids, sitting for
Judge Arthur ]. Tuttle, late Monday
afternoon.
In contrast to the hearing last Fri.
day, Mondays session Of the court
was a very tame and colorless affair.
The opposition which had been so
much in evidence In the first session,
made no appearance Monday.
In making the appointment Judge
Sessions stated that he had conferred
with Judge Tuttle and that they had
both decided upon Mr.. FELTON, as the
proper man to take the place on The
board
I'VE are both OF the opinion that a
railroad man should be appointed for
this position" he said. 1T Is impos-
sible for q court to run q railroad ex-
cept through the appointment of prop
erly qualified and experienced men to
act for Il. II Is essential that there
should be harmony among the receiv-
ers OF the Pere Marquette. and the APP
pointment OF Mr.. FELTON, will aid In
bringing this about. because the 9th
er two receivers have requested his
appointment"
Judge Sessions fixed the bond for
Mr.. FELTON, at $4,000, the sum reauiF-
ed Of Newman Erb, and Attorney
Henry NJ. Campbell stated that Mr..
FELTON, would qualify Immediately, Of
fering the same sureties that were
offered by Mr.. Erb. Judge Sessions
Instructed Clerk Elmer w. VOORHEES,
to accept the bond when properly
filled out
II IL believed that the appointment
Of Mr.. FELTON, as receiver OF the Pere
Marquette means great improve
ment in the handling OF the road. He
has had much successful experience
in building up broken-down railroad
systems and is thoroughly qualified
as q railroad man.

 Market Letter for the Past Week.
Kansas City Market Letter
tBy J. A. Rickart, Correspondent

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 5, IoI2-Cattle receipts fell below expectations again last week, and the market made a gain of IS to 40 cents. On cattle from pastures in native territory the market was the highest of the year, Today the run is larger than on any pre- vious Monday this year, footing up I8,ooo cattle, not including I4oo calves that came in. Outside markets were we'll supplied, and it looked like lower prices at first, There was good demand, and not much change could be noticed in the prices. Top steers in the native division brought So,65. They were light steers, weighing less than 1900 pounds, from Ne braska. Ripe steers of greater weight would bring more. Cattle from pastures ranged from s6. 50 to $8.75. Feeder buyers were in the field for some of the pasture steers, but killers bid the highest on them. An Illinois man offered 700 for some 1900 lbs. steers, but an order buyer from New York landed them at $40, the fifty cent margin being due to competition from other killers. Killers paid 7.5o for some Green wood county, Kansas, steers de- nominated as dogs" by an un- successful bidder. Supply oi quarantines quit at I37 loads to. day. Osage steers sold at 5.7o to S. weighing 88o to Io5c pounds, grass COWS bring 3.75 to $50, bulls 400 to 500. Owners all over the field show a disposi- ton to hold calves back, hence prices are 25 to so cents above g week ago, though a shade lower today, best al 900. Stock steers bring 4.5o to 6.o5. Hog supplies today 4ooo head here, market 5 tc 10 higher, top 8.37H, bulk 8,2o to S.35. The bulk of sales is closing up, because practically no heavy hogs, which sell 10 to 25 cents below the others, are coming. The bulls are clearly ir the majority when opinions are expressed about future prices Sheep and lambs are steady today, best spring lambs 7.5o, wethers worth up to 4.4o, ewes 400. Feeding lambs bring 500 to $50. Run is light today, 4ooo head, but stuff from the Northwest will be coming freely later this week, and constantly henceforth for some weeks.
