MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 16.
1912 Cattle receipts overran the
estimate three thousand head yester-
day, but it took the T2eO calves receiv-
ed today TO bring the total of bovine
animals up to the estimate of 5000
for the day. The firm situation at
the start yesterday faded out and re-
solved itself into a weak and dis
appointing condition before the close,
especially on middle and low grade
quarantine cattle. Prime animals
sold strong, with a top at 65, high
est this year, but the word has gone
out to buyers to remove some of the
bloom from these top cattle. Owners
of fancy cattle at Chicago had 20 ac-
cept 15 TO % cents lower prices for
them than were in effect last week.
No such onslaught on these cattle
occurred here, and the market on
everything is steady TO strong today.
the modest run having removed most
of the poison buyers we're said to have
ready for the market, should chance
offer TO administer it. Top steers
sold today at $3.50, and best Kansas
grass steers are selling at s7.75 toss. 45
medium grass steers 80 to $3.50,
quarantine grass steers $50 to $500,
grass COWS S3. 10 TO s.. 65, veal calves
$3.50 to $500. AS rule small owners
are well satisfied with prices, and
though large owners are making
money they express some disappoint-
ment, having based their hopes for
the season from the standpoint of
month ago, befors prices on grass
stuff had really been established.
Country buyers are shy, though grass
rs plentiful, preferring to wait awhile
till the movement to market assumes
a greater volume. Stock and feeding
cattle sell at 81 so to $3.50. Hogs
opened strong to higher this morn
ing, several speculators getting their
feet wet, but packers were slow
getting into action, as they refused to
buy anything except at reductions OF
) TO 10 cents. Their position was
forfeited by the swelling of the run
from nine thousand, the first
estimate, to 1900, the final count.
Top was $3.50, bulk s7.25 to S7.55-
Sheep and lambs sold slowly, on the
reduced basis put in force yesterday
lambs at s7.0O to s7-40, wethers $3.50
TO $500 ewes up to "a I5, receipts
500.

Teddx,s Eccentricities.

The old ladies met one afternoon,
in the parlor of a Fifth avenue
mansion and discussed Teddy Roose-
velt. They all knew him from the
cradle up.
I'VE were older than Teddy, but
we always had him with US at play
when he was a little lad chirrup-
ed a garrulous dowager- I'VE could, ! MT
get rid of him. 1t was our sacred
duty to keep close watch over Teddy.
You see when he was very little he
had something the matter with his
head Whenever he would stoop
over to play and let his head get low
er than his knees he would have a
fit or something, and we would be
frightened almost to death. We
thought he was going to die 1t was
ever on our minds TO keep Teddy IS
head above his knees Every time
there would be a commotion in the
neighborhood land there was one
most of the time), the first to see it
would scream out, 'Teddy's got his
head below his knees and we would
all scurry to his side and lift his
head TO a proper elevation.
81 sometimes wonder the old
lady added ruminatively, ''if Teddy
isn't letting his head get below his
knees again He seems to be getting
ready TO have another 6t-''-New

Old Wax and / lived side by side
and never had row, until one day
he damned the hide of my old brindle
cow He said she ate a suit of clothes
that hung upon his line, and so
biffed him on the nose and he soaked
me on mine. We owned our homes,
were out of debt, had money in the
bank, that day he lammed my brindle
pet and / gave him a spank A while
we stood around and cussed and
wagged the fluent jaw, until. surcharg-
ed with deep disgust, we turned and
went to law. Oh, that was bum and
beastly SPORT Our lawers, smooth
and deft, conveyed the case from court
to court and taxed US right and left
Now at the poor-farm Wax and put
in our fading years; 1 lean on him
and heave a sigh and he bursts into
tears. Sometimes we ramble up the
road, where once we did our biz; a
lawyer lives in my abode, another
lives in his Then to the poorhouse
back we go, and seek our couch of
straw, and think of joys we used to
know before We went to law.4Copy-

authorities for quarantining my

because one of us had smallpox
During that time my wife caught up
with her sewing; we had three square
meals day, as no one came in, and
she was not permitted to leave, we
enjoyed six weeks of good nights
sleep; and best of all, cousin and
four children had arranged to visit
