:. TARIFF AID A TRUST. :


ON June IL the International COM
bine for the sale OF rails on neutral
markets was renewed for another
three years. That means that for an
other three years the supply Of rails
To those countries where there is no
natlve competition will be reserved TO
the same producers as now. The plan
Of distribution was fixed in the be-
ginning OF 1909, By that time the
works producing rails in the United
States Germany Great Britain,
France, Belgium aud Russia had al
ready formed their respective national
syndicates. They then combined for
the purpose of distributing all other
countries between themselves as per-
manent customers. Each of the six
countries thereby got "A practical mo-
ropoly of selling the required rails TO
one or more other countries: If, g. g.,
tho Argentine republic wants new
rails. 40 European producer will sup
My them. because that country has
been attributed to the producers of
the United states of America. The
consequence is a wen defined limita-
tion of international competition in
this line. ON the other hand, the ex-
portation of rails from any of the six
combined cepters of production can
not be much extended over the pres
ent dimensions. At present the system
works Wen enough, because the de.
mand for rails for countries not yet
fully developed is enormous, Thus we
gather from the statistical returns OF
the German Rails Industry that one
half Of the whole production is ex-
ported to the countries reserved to
the German combine.

Weekly Market Letter.

Weekly Market Letter.
Kansas City stock Yards, January s, 1912,
The first week of the new
year was very satisfactory to cat
tie sellers, but brought walls of
displeasure from killers. The |
market was strong all week,
closing 10 to Is higher for the
week on all kinds, and prices
ruling are about one dollar high
err than a year ago. Fed cattle
are selling at money making
prices to feeders, which is all
that anyone can ask, and the
lack of quality is what is worry
ing the killers. The tendency
is to market stuff as early as pos
sible all over the field, and hnish-
ed cattle are going to be scarce.
The best here today sold $40
bulk of fed steers at 5000. to
81 90. Severe winter weather
causes railroads to hesitate about
accepting orders for cars, fact
that held receipts down today.
The run here is 5000 head, and
Chicago has only one half as
many cattle today as were count
ed on at the end of last week.
The market is 10 to Is higher
here today on steers, and strong
to IS higher on other killing cat
tie. Native cows sell up to S5.75
and bulls to $5.25, veals $500.
Oil Mill cattle sold at S5.85 to
So 90 here today, best prices paid
for them this season. Light
steers from Shawnee, Oklahoma
sold at S. 40. Protracted zero
weather, with heavy snow, is
causing uneasiness among cat
tlemen, and predictions are made
that considerable stuff will be
run to market Immediately from
districts where feed is short.
In that event, stockers and feed
ers will sell lower. They are nc
better than steady today, at $4.OC
to s5,75, few fleshy feeders al
5000 to $6.25.
The hog market is nervous
affair, ten cent changes being
the rule from day to day for the
last ten days. 1t is 10 higher
today, following couple of sin
liar markets last week, and tops
got up to $6.45 today, bulk o.
sales 5000 to $6.42H. The rur
was estimated at 5000 for today
but only 5000 got in, hence
strong finish. The expected
shortage of hogs has not develop
ed as yet, local receipts last weel
running $4,000 more than same
last year, and receipts at the fiv'
western markets for the weel
aggregating 100000, as compar
ed with 287, 600 same week las
year.
Sheep and lambs advanced 2!
to IS cents last week, and are "
) again today, 10 to Is cents. Col
orado stuff started to marke
last week, and the first from tina
section arrived today, Monte
Vista lambs selling at S6.75 ant
$3.50, and ewes at $40. Some
Kansas lambs brought $500
which was the top and some Col
orado ewes brought $4.15. Weth
ers are worth up to $3.50, ant
warnings $3.50. Good feeding
lambs sold Friday at $500. Rur
is 5000 here today, and good rur
is expected balance of the week
Prices may soften little, bu'
the undertone is strong.

away with the responsiveness Of

For a week after the snow
business in all lines was almost
at a stand-still, as it was almost
impossible to break a road
through the snow. At this time
the conditions are somewhat i'm

and do their trading and get
