Stock Market

Kansas ClJy SCOcK dfuS, NOV. ! 1, 1912.-There was a good many | readjustments of values in the | various classes of cattle last week, price changes being govered by the volmue of the supply in each class. More short fed steers came in than in any two weeks previ- ously this fall, and that kind lost 15 to 40 cents. Prime steers are not considered to have been in voled in the decline, though there were none of the finished variety offered. Cows and heifers contin- ue scarce, and they closed the week 10 to 15 cents higher. Veal demand got ahead of the supply, and prices went up 25 to 75 cents. Stocker and feeder demand fell off a little and values slumped off 20 to 30 cents. Quaratine steers sold readily, and closed with the S me advance noted in COWS and heifers. Range cattle from the panhandle, New Mexico and Colo rado were offered freely, and had to stand the same mutations as the offerings from native terri tory. To-day the run is cut in two by the proximity of the election, and the trade looks for a light run tomorrow, the day of voting. Killing kinds sold quickly to-day at 10 to 9 cents higher prices, the 10000 head received not be ing enough to go around. The condition to-day is largely fictiti- ous, but it reflects a healthy bas- is. Stock and feeding cattle were content with slight advance to- day and cows and heifers likewise sold merely strong, veal calves up another quarter. Top short fed steers 5000, quaranteen steers &.1 15, range beef SIPS, feeders 7.25, stock steers $6.75. Range cows and heifers S6. %, panhandle cows $5.25, wet COWS LAO, veal calves $9.75.
 The hog break was stopped the middle of last week, and consider able repair work has been done since then, continuing to-day. Run is 5000 here to-day, prices 5 to 10 higher, top S7.9O, bulk $7.65 to S7.85. Country buyers are ad- vised to beware of breaks this month. as prices are said to be too high to warrant heavy packing operations.
 Sheep and lambs are looking up somewhat. runs having fallen off from the range country. Dealers have been expecting a rise for some time, which was defeated by unexpected heavy receipts up to this time. Run is 10000 to-day, market 10 to 9 higher. Demand for feeding stock is good. Fat lambs bring $7.00 to $7.35, feed ing lambs around $6. 9, yearlings up to $500, wethers S4.75, ewes S4.25.

The P~OstoffiCes.

Minneapolis papers announce, in
their Washington correspondence,
that the democratic leaders look
very fsvorably upon the idea of
claiming federal offices very soon af-
ter President-elect Wilson's inaugu-
ration in March. The historical
Jackson sentiment that Ito the VIC
tors belong the spoils" looks good to
them.
In some cities, postoffice candi-
dates have already adopted the old
method of forwarding their amb;-
tons by circulating petitions for the
endorsement Of local democrats.
The new primary law of this state,
just carried at the recent election,
provides that postmasters be select
ed by a primary vote of the patrons
of the office. Under this law it is
the duty Of the party county chair
man to arrange for holding such
primary.
Several names of local democrats
ha re been talked about town as pro-
bable candidates. but so far none of
them have publicly announced them
selves. Among those talked of as
probable or available are: Alder.
man McCullen, Alderman Walsh,
Alderman Crabtree, Attorney Pusey.

sense Of Importance.
Now he enters the booth and sud-
denly shrinks to the size of me sim
gle atom in the community. OF all
the hundreds of votes he has CON
trolled," he suddenly finds he can
cast but one. A sad come-down,
but he has to face it.
He is a wise man if he casts the
one vote with q humble and contrite
heart. and nightly resolves before
emerging from the booth to leave
oil his flamboyance and bounce be-
hind. Hereafter let him be the sim
gle citizen that he is. His vote will
be a better one if he carries with
him the thought that it is the only
vote he has.

flee, and sincerely hope in looking
back over what has been done that
there is enough of progress made to
warrant me in the belief that real
good has been accomplished. even
though | regret that It has not been
greater. President Taft.
The daily newspapers are saying
very pleasant things about President
Taft since a recent speech in which
he gracefully and good-naturedly
accepts defeat. The world likes to
see a man be a good loser as we'll as
a good winner. To accept victory
with due moderation. or defeat with
graceful philosophy. shows both
sides of and that, in fact, COW
ers the entire span of life. The man
who cannot do both should never
enter public life or engage in con-
tests.
Neither defeat or victory comes
t, a man entirely through or be-
cause of one condition or incident.
1t requires a combination of many
things to produce either result. And
the defeated man of today may be q
victor at another time. Likewise,
the man who floats to victory upon
a tide of fortunate conditions or
circumstances today may meet ad-
verse conditions the very next time
through no particular fault of his
own.
Another peculiar thing about po-
litical victory and defeat is the oft
observed fact that many times it
turns out that the defeated man is
better off for having lost the victory
he desired.
