KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET

Kansas City Stock Yards, April %.
"A more liberal run of cattle came in
last week than in recent weeks, and
though the supply was five thousand
head less than arrivals same week last
year, the market broke 20 to 40 cents,
proving that the basis of the high
range of prices is formed of the short
age in the supply. Killers will buy only
in hand to mouth way when prices
are as high as they are now. Top
steers last week sold at 1856, against
top of $3.50 year ago same week,
for cattle just as good. The run to-
day was estimated at eight thousand
head, but the final count exceeded ten
thousand. The first estimate might
have sold steady, but the situation be-
came murky as the returns of arrivals
came in, and by the time the majority
of two thousand over the estimate was
announced, killing grades had settled
to ten lower basis. Dennis OConnor
Plattsburg, Mo, sold load of 1914
ID. steers at the top today, $S.40, and
a load of lighter steers at $3.50, Chi
cago prices in each case. Stock and
feeding grades made up a larger per-
centage o fthe supply today than usual,
and a decline of 10 to 20 cents await
ed them. Killers are no longer willing
to buy anything that will bleed, and
the withdrawal Of their competition on
thin cattle permitted the break to be
more pronounced. Quarantine steers
sold up to $3.50 today, and train OF
hay fed westerns sold at prices up to
$40, and some sugar mill steers at
l$7.40. Optimism prevails in viewing
future probabilities of prices. as Slim
supplies a couple of months ahead
seem to be certainty.
The hog market keeps running vi
and down short course Immediately
in front of the eight dollar grand stand
Ifor top hogs. The run today here is
5000 head, market called a big ter
lower at the start, mainly for the rea
son that Chicago had sixty two thou
sand hogs, too many by twenty thou
sand head for the market to hole
steady there. Conditions improved
during the session today, and the mar
ket started back up the course agaiI
before the close. Top hogs brough
$3.50 today, bulk of sales having al
Unusually wide range, because of th'
large number of low grade light hogs
included, $3.50 to S7.7719.
Sheep and lambs gained quarte
last week, and the market is highe
today. Failing receipts are the mali
reason for the advances, less thai
thirty thousand being on sale here las
week, and but nine thousand today
Forecasts for the balance of the weel
,, point to fair run of Texans, of whicl
there are none here today, and small
run of Colorados, of which the run j
almost entirely made up today Tha
is a providential situation for sellers
Colorado lambs sold up to 1915 today
a number of bands at $50, medium
lambs around $7.75, wethers $6.4(
ewes worth $500 for wooled stock i
each case, clipped stock rs cents to
dollar under these figures. Texa
muttons would sell today at $540 t

The wireless gossip over the sea
was cruel in effect. For example, that
the Titanic was running to Halifax
under her own steam; that she was
being towed in all right; that the
boats had all been swept away, etc.
Equally cruel the refusal of the Car.
pathia to answer leading questions
hour after hour.

The wireless telegraph has achieved
another great victory over death.
Probably all the passengers in the
small boats would have perished be-
fore a ship happened to pass near en-
ough to discover them but for the in
vention OF Marconi. But this expert
ence of the operator on the Titanic
demonstrates the necessity of govern
ment control of. wireless telegraphy.
And older men should be appointed as
operators. The youth at the instru-
ment on the ship was evidently off
his head when he wired You are a
fool. Keep out" to the ship asking
information, and in ignoring tele-
gram on Sunday afternoon which
might have given another warning.

A writer in the Baltimore Sun says
the rule of the sea, women and chill
dren first" is mistake. Mems lives
are more valuable, especially heads
of families and such men Of talent as
Butt, Smith, Stead, Hays and Strauss.
But the rule of the sea is the more
civilized and Christian code, not the
survival of the fittest but the protec-
ton OF the weak and helpless.
