Stock Market

hanSaS ClCy SCOcK afQS, NOV. g, 1912. There was not much change in cattle prices here last week, volume of receipts about balancing the demand, 52,000 cattle and 5, 300 calves being the size of the run. Some of the mar kets report a disposition to hurry short fed cattle forward, though that feature was not prominent here, and trade experts are say ing that winter prices will show exceptional strength, particularly after the first of February. The undertone is stronger than a week ago, and the best posted dealers fail to see any permanent healing of the cattle shortage in the big shipments of stock cattle and feeders from the markets to the country in the last three months. Shipments from here last week were 23,000 cattle to country points, same week last year 25, ,000. Most of the country de- mand was for light cattle, though Eastern buyers took half fat steers of value to $8.65 for a thirty day feed. Last year the top feeders brought $5. 75. Best stock steers last week sold at $6.90, a year ago $5. 15. Prime steers were lacking after Monday last week, though some good ones brought $10.25 Tuesday. Most of the fed steers sold at $7.OO to $9. 40. Colo rado and the southwest sent in a lot of cattle last week, and every thing sold at about the seasons top prices, beef steers up to $7. 35 in car load lots, odd head $8. .00, stockers and feeders $500 to S6.90, COWS and heifers $4.50 to $6.75, bulls $4.0O to $500, veals up to $9. 50. 4Qnarantines advanced 10 to 15 cents last week, steers selling at $4.25 to SIPS, COWS and heifers $3.50 to $6.00. The run today is IT, ,OOO head, and the market is strong to 10 higher, stock cattle and feeders taking the full gain.
 The week promises well, though the Thanksgiving holiday is usu- ally an adverse influence. Pack CTS secured temporary control of the hog market Friday and Sat urday, depressing prices 15 to 20 cents, but sellers took command again today and regained 5 cents of the loss. Run is 12,000 today, a large Monday run, top $7. 75, bulk $7. 50 to $7.70. Eastern states market their hogs about this time every year, and lack of demand from that quarter aids. packers ordinarily in getting concessions at this season as a rule, but that rule is not working good this year, because of the big demand for pork and product, and moder- ate runs in the West.
 Sheep and lambs today 1000, market 10 to 15 higher, lambs up to $7.65. Prices have buoyant air that promised well for the eight dollar lamb market predict ed for early winter. Best weth- CTS bring $4.60, ewes $3.75 to $4.50, feeding lambs around $6. %.

DEMANDS UPON NEW
 PARTY LEADERS

Although a full session of Con- gress is to intervene before the national legislators elected this month come into office the inter- ests that expect to benefit from the Democratic plan of legisla- tion already are getting into ac- tion and are making plans to en- force their demards upon the party leaders. The chief interest centers of course in tariff legis- lation. While it is understood that some reduction of duties is inc vitable, the question as to just how far the protection that has long been accorded to American farmers, wage-earners and manu- facturers is to be sacrificed af- lords plenty of room for discus sion and controversy. Those who are in a position to profit by the reduction or removal of duties are planning to force this move ment as far as possible, regard less of the effect upon the busi- ness of the country. In the van of these interests are the sugar re- liners who think that the oppor- tunity is at least presented to them of carrying through their plan for the enactment of free sugar bill which will put an end to the rapidly expanding business of growing sugar beets and manu- featuring beet sugar. The refin- CTS, the most influential being the so-called Sugar Trust, have been growing more and more uneasy over the rapid increase in the output of beet sugar under the protective tariff that has been in force. Within the past few years a.his competition has cut into their market to an alarming extent, has tended to keep down retail prices and threatened to put the refners out of business entirely, in the course of time, as the De- partment of Agriculture has shown that the United States has ample land adapted to beet grow ing to produce all the sugar re- quired by the American people.
 As the Trust and it's fellow re- liners have practically unlimited resources at their command a big fight will be made to secure abso- lute free trade in this commodity, but it is doubtful if it can succeed because it can be carried through only by the votes of Senators representing states in which the beet sugar industry already has attained great importance and it is doubtful if these men will vote to destroy home industries on which the welfare of thousands of their own constituents depend. The wool and lumber schedules are others over which it is expect ed the strenuous fights will be waged.

Bites Mans Ear Off
in Self Defense

MARsHALLTowN. Ia. Jan. 4.-tspe-
ciaL)-lf, while in fight you should bite
off your opponents ear and claim sell
defense and In support Of that claim
make the showing that. you had ap-
pendicitis and were really not in condi-
don for the squared circle you would stand
a chance OF not having TO pay your OPP
ponent damages when he sued you be-
cause Of the assault and the ear that was
gone. This was the result In local
case in which James Mulvaney sued
John Bryant for 1900 for the loss Of
an ear in a fight. Mulvaney alleged
Bryant bit off his ear. Bryant didn't
deny It. but pleaded self-defense. and set
up the additional claim that he had
lodged Mulvaney for two days to escape
having to fight him for the reason that
he not only didn't want to fight. but he
had appendicitis and was not In condition.
The jury evidently believed him. for It
returned a verdict for Bryant and left
Mulvaney earless and with the costs to
pay.
