Stock Market

hafl0do CICy DUCK drQS, Dec.
9, 1912. Liberal marketing of
short fed steers last week caused
a slight reduction in prices on
fair to good ones, which formed
the bulk Of the run. Other mar
kets also had heavy runs of feed
cattle, which made the decline of
10 to Is cents look very moder-
ate. Other classes of cattle held
up steady. The run here today
is $1,000 head, somewhat larger
than was expected, and the ma
jority of the supply is again of
the short fed variety. A fair de-
gree of finish has been put on
most of the offerings, sales rang
ing from $500 to $500 today.
These cattle are making money
for the feeders so far, hence
there is a disposition to replace
them in feed lots, and turn the
same trick again. Therein is
found some difficulty, as indicat-
ed by an advance of 10 cents on
feeding steers today, account of
the strong demand for them, and
the relative scarcity, while the
killing cattle are selling barely
steady. Shipments to the country
from here last week footed up
$4,000 head, as compared with
10, 900 head same week last year.
Top stock steers sell at $7.10,
and best feeders $3.50, partly
finished steers going to the coun-
try up to $500. These are the
highest prices ever paid for com
mercial cattle, the best a year
ago selling around $5.75. Range
cattle are about all in, the season
closing with beef steers up to
$.35, cows and heifers $6.55,
stockers and feeders $7.25. the
seasons pinnacle. Fed quarantine
steers reached 81. 40 today, cows
$6. SO, low grade Southern stuff
So. 50 to $50
A run of 1000 hogs came in
today and sold 5 to 10 higher,
top 1870, bulk $7.65 to $7.87.
Hogs are selling on a fresh meat
basis, hence all sectional lines
have been wiped out, and prices
are as high as at Chicago or any
other market. Quality is good,
and is improving, but the heavy
fresh meat demand, and the con-
sequent strong competition, keeps
prices so high that pork cellars
are not being replenished, bull
indication on future markets.
Run of sheep today 1000, mar
ket stronger, lambs up to SITS.
Packer buyers are under positive
orders not to advance the market,
the packers realizing it could
easily become a runaway market,
but prices are working upward
in spite of this. Best wethers are
worth $4.65, ewes at $4,00 to
81. 35, yearlings upto so, feed
ing lambs $500 to $6.5

HUGO B. KOCH
IN THE CITY"

Great Play in Which Popular
Star is soon to appear here. Hugo
B. Koch, in Clyde Fitch's master
piece, The City comes to the
Winslow Opera House, Friday,
December, 27.
So frequently are the New
York critics quoted that the fire.
quent repitition must raise the
question of doubt as to the au-
thenticity of the quoted experts.
In the case of 'The City" it is
only necessary to refer to the
news accounts of demonstrations
which followed the fall of the
curtain upon the second act,
when the play was first produced
at the Lyric Theatre in New
York. Not for eighteen years had
New York witnessed such an
ovation. The whole audience rose
with one accord to. cheer the
masterful conception Of the dead
author and the wonderful acting
OF the company. 1t seems but
simple justice to the late Clyde
Fitch to record these facts.
The story is simple. The chief
actors in this human drama are
the members Of the family of
George Rand, a banker of Middle
burgh, N. Y, they being father,
mother and three children,
George, Teresa and Cicely. The
banker is the father of an illegi-
innate child, George Hammock,
who knowing that he has some
thing" on the fnancier, bleeds
MIN upon various occasions. The
first scene shows the library of
the Rand family in Middleburgh,
the act eliminating in the dis
covery of the son, George Rand,
Jr., that Hammock is the illegi-
innate child Of his father. The
revelation kills the banker. The
natural son thereupon decides to
remove to New York, thus listen
ing to the call of the city. Believ-
ing it is for the best interests Of
his fathers memory, he engages
Hammock as his private secretary.
The second act shows the family
ensconed in a beautiful home on
Fifth Avenue. Rand having en-
tered politics, he is on the eve of
being nominated for governor
when he makes a second discov-
cry which proves even more dra-
matte than that of the previous
act. Hammock crook, dope fiend,
is in love with C;caly Rand,
and when taken to task by his
employer he confesses that they
are married.
1t was the desire Of Mr.. Fitch
that the finish of his story should
never be made known, that is, in
advance Of the performance, and
the same wish has actuated the
United Play Company in with
holding the final of the second
act. Suffice to say that the climax
is one of the strongest ever given
a play.

H. S. heating plant has finally
been repaired thanks to the in
terest of General Foreman Tilton
of the Santa Fe. We desire to
publicly express our thanks for
the interest taken by Mr.. Tilton
in our predicament and his quick
remedying of our difficulties.
Average temperature of H. S.
building for the past week has
been IA. The heating-plants are
now both doing splendid work as
a car of hard coal was recently
obtained, and the heating plants
were originally intended for hard
coal consumption, and not for
soft coal.
Miss Powell, assistant princi-
pal H. S., has been i'll all of the
past week. All hope for her
early recovery.
Christmas vacation will begin
on the evening of Dec. 20, school
beginning again on Thursday,
Jan. 2. The reason for the
starting of school on Thursday
is that as we have already lost
two days because of the cold it
is necessary to make up lost
time in order that school COM
mencement will GENE on schedule
time in May.
Christmas programs will be
given in all rooms Dec. 20. All
are coreially invited to attend.
If "A Lover of Clean Schools"

Gov. Hiram johnson of California
has a STong resemblance to the
man who Ntll be named for Vice
President on the ticket with Roose-
velt, provided the colonel gets the
nomination. That's the word that
is going the rounds of the Hobbies
and II is strongly encouraged by some
OF the most prominent insiders in the
Roosevelt camp 1t is argued that the
Governor not only would sweep Califor-
MIA, or aid materially in that operation,
but that he would have great strength
on the whole Pacific coast, and add
much to the vote for the ticket there.

Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, has
been strongly mentioned for second

that Colonel Roosevelt was willing to
have Stubbs run with him. in fact,
wanted him to. Governor Stubbs. how

nomination for Vice President. He
wants to be Senator, and considering
the capacity he has displayed to corral
