WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
CBy J, A. Rickart, Correspondent

 Kansas City stock yards, Jan. I, Only few cattle were shipped in last week, the Christmas holi- day and storms early in the week cutting into the weeks trade sharply. While there was no urgent demand, prices advanced about IS cent during the week. It also became evident during the week that the price range on steers ! is closing up. Dealers say sales above eight dollars will be rare ] for a while and fewer cattle are selling under six dollars than a few weeks ago. She stuff and butcher grades made a sharp ad- vance the last days of last week. The storm yesterday and Saturday again cut down the supply today, ! though $500 cattle arrived in spite of disabilities of railroads. The market today was strong to E higher. One drove of steers brought at nine dollars for delivery today went over the scales at that ! figure, but the next highest sale was at S7.oo. The contract cattle were bought by Weber, the Kan sas City butcher, and Armour will slaughter them for him. Yard traders sold out clean last week, only 1900 cattle remaining in the yards over Sunday, and they were keen buyers of stockers and feed CTS this morning. Feeders sell at S5.oo to 5000, stockers S4. .oo to S3.75. Calves are 25 to so cents higher than a week ago, best $7. 50. Only a handful of quarantine cattle came in today, three cars from Arkansas, highly mixed, and common quality. Meal fed steers are worth S5 10 to S6. 20, on the basis of last weeks sales. A healthy cattle trade is expected this month, in all classes, and moderate receipts is the popular prediction.
 Sheep and lambs quit last week at the highest point reached in December, and the market is strong today. The run is 45oo today, fed western lambs at S6. 50, yearlings worth S5.25, wethers S4.5o, ewes S4. Lamb prices are about like they were a year ago, while sheep are 50 to 75 cents lower now than they were a year ago. Prices made no material gain the first four months in 1910, but there should be a better de- mand for mutton this year, with perhaps a less number on feed, with prospects therefore favoring stronger markets this winter.

WOMEN FIRST

Little chivalry is lying around loose
now mon will tip their hats to women
with IS deep bows as ever. But that
calls for no effort, and it rather flat
tiers a fellows sense Of self esteem.
The heroic self-sacrifice of the men
on the Titanic, who mostly remained
behind to let the women and children
be saved first, is a touch of old fash
toned ideals m that thrills the heart.
1t sounds remote from these selfish
days. 1t seems almost to go back to
the time when armored knights rode
over the country to rescue distressed
of us would have had the manliness
to do it, assuming always that no COM
pulsion was enforced ON us by ship
officers?
| Few men today are willing to under

| in a street car or railroad train, to
provide women with a seat. Such
social symptoms n axe ore que. tiCn how
far the rule of woman first in time
of disaster to shipping is due to in
nate chivalry, and how far to the auto
cratic rule Of marine custom.
Evidently as far as the small army
of male passengers on the Titanic are
concerned, they could have swept their
way into the boats against every COM
mand of the ships crew, had they chos
EN-, so that they should receive for all
time the glpry Of their forbearance.
Women will stand the strain of act
ual pain quite as long as men, but
when it comes to a fight for life with
some elemental force like water or CO..
they have nct the physical endurance
for it, and they would give away first
from pure muscular weakness.
Human equity then sanctions this
grim rule for the great crisis of life
But the history of ca amty has record
ed many an occasion where it was bro
ken, and men like wolves frantically
pushed and joslted for safety To take
life on these terms would be to accept

SCATTERING IMMIGRATION

In the state Of New York alone
there are $4,000 men in the cities
who could find jobs on the farms If
they wanted them. This statement
was made few days ago at the New
York meeting which organized the
American Immigration Distribution
league.
1t is pathetic to see the way robust
and strapping inning rants, from cOun-
try districts in the old world, fitted
to do farm work and do it successful
ly, will settle down in slum life. They
find their friends located in the cit
Gods country They grab the first
low paid job their friends find for them
1t is not long before their brown
faces turn into livid pallor under the
crowding Of Stun life. They become
enfeebled, their blood grows thin, their
heart grows fearful of the great I'M
known of Americas land of agricul-
tural promise They cling to the pit
tance that will keep them alive in the
sweat shop, while their children have
to sit up to l o'clock at night be-
cause the grownups occupy al the
space toiling ever ready made clothing.
| 1t was shown at a Congestion Of
Population exhibit in New York in
1909, that one society had sent $1,000
foreigners out of the city in nine
years, and IS per cent CT them stuck.

TAT ANSWERS ROOSEVELT
IN HIS SPRINGFIELD SPEECH.

Springfield Mass, April 25-Presi-
dent Taft made his answer here today
to answer the criticisms that Col. Theo
dore Roosevelt has made of him and
his administrator.
In his speech that bristled with in
dignation in which he named Colonel
Roosevelt over and over again, Mr.
Taft told a crowd that filled Spring
field public square, that he belived Mr..
Roosevelt had not given him square
deal and had "misstated and dis
torted' the facts concerning Mr.. Taft's
conduct and actions in the White
House.
He replied in scme detail to many Of
the charges that Colonel Roosevelt has
made against him since the present
campaign began. He took pains to
make plain Mr.. Roosevelts knowledge
of complete agreement with many of
the present administration which late
ly he has condemned and denounced.
The pr sident declared that after the
Columbus speech of Colonel Roosevelt,
he found the country unresponsive and
that he had shifted his methods of

vlpals'' and proposals. of reform TO
