WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, May 10,
because Chicago got too many cat.
tie last week, and that market broke
40 TO IS cents, the very favorable
supply situation here for sellers was
without result as a market strength
ener. Prime steers gained about 10
cents, but middle grades, including
she stuff and yearlings, closed 10
to rs lower. Stockers and feeders
gained 10 to Is cents at the start
of the week, and held 1t to the fin
Sh. The big break at Chicago had
the effect Of stopping the run there,
and receipts there ane only two
thirds up to expectations today, and
prices are higher. Sales here are
steady to a shade higher today. A
new high figure for the year was
made today, $685., paid for some
Hereford steers weighing 1910 IBIS.
These steers cost $3.50 last fail, and
were fed ensilage, four pounds Of
cottonseed meal, and a third Of a bu-
shell Of corn per day ON the final lap
Of their finishing course. They gain
ed two pounds per day since last fall,
and made plenty of money. Another
lot Of steers sold today at $3.50,
which cost $4.65 here last July.
Prime steers of big weight would set
a figure close to nine dollars. Quar-
antine steers sold at $500 to $3.50
today, Texas grass steers In the last
week at $3.50 to $6.15, Montana hay
fed steers s7.45 to s7S5, Colorado SUI
gar mill steers at $775 to $S.45, top
cows s725, stockers s5.25 to $500,
feeders s6.25 to s735.
Famine hog supplies last week re-
suited in a rise Of % cents, though
the week finished below the best
time. Local prices are equal to Chi
cago and St. Louis nearly every day.
The market opened steady today, but
outside influence caused a sympa-
thetic decline here Of 5 to 10 cents
at the close, which was not warrant
ed by the meager run Of 1900 head
here. Top today is 1882 IL. bulk
$3.50 to $3.50. Except in 1910, ne
ceipts Of hogs at the eleven leading
markets Of the country combined are
less now than corresponding
time in amy year since 1906.

tuating last week, and while sheep
seem pretty well settled, at about one
dollar below the high time, the run
is $4,000 today, market steady, wooded
lambs at 1926 to 1915, clipped lambs
up to $3.50, fed wethers worth s7.25,
ewes 800, Texas muttons $500 to
$3.50, yearlings from Texas s6.15,
goats 1926 to $500. Native spring
lambs are worth $3.50 to $1,000, the
wide range due to the numerous de-
grees quality in spring lambs this
season.

MADE 4 PRETTY TRIMMING
Attractive Adornment for Hat That Was Achieved by a Woman
 of Taste.

A most attractive trimming worn upon a hat of burnt straw by a lady whose good taste is undisputed was fashioned in this manner
 A pattern for large petal was cut and used as a guide to fashion petals from tan.colored corded silk.
 Two thicknesses of silk were used for each petal these were stitched to- gether by the machine, turned and stitched again a quarter inch from the extreme edge.
 Twelve of these were sewn to a small disk of buckram to form flow CT.
 In the center of this was chou of narrow silk fringe of tan. The center of the fringe was formed by disk Of gold cord adorned by two small tas- sells.
 A cord of the silk finished by a row of fringe trimmed the base of the crown.
 This makes an altogether smart hat. A yard of silk. five yards of fringe and two yards of gold cord are required.

Watson Expected
At Baltimore.

The matter of electing Thomas G.
Hudson a member of the Georgia dele
cation in place of Thomas E. Watson
was not brought up in the caucus OF
the Georgia delegation yesterday after
noon. 1t was learned that Mr.. Watson
might yet appear upon the scene and
assume his place on the delegation, and
the election of Mr.. Hudson in that
event might be embarrassing. Mr..
Watson has notified at least one of his

Baltimore tomorrow, which would get
him here long in advance of the nomi-
nation for the presidency.

The Crowd Pines for
Red Headed Person.

The curious attending the Baltimore
convention are disappointed that
Thomas E. Watson is not here with the
Georgia delegation. Hundreds of in
quiries are made of the Cracker dele
cation as to why Mr. Watson didn't
come. Many are here who had expect
ed Tom Watson to be part of the big
show and to lock horns with Bryan"
On the contrary, however. there are
many delegates. and especially among
the leaders. who were deeply gratified
when they found the red headed person
was not along. There can be no ques-
ton of the fact that some of them
viewed his probable coming with great
alarm. In some sort of way, indefinite
ly outlined Mr.. Watson was expected
to kick the lid off things and start con-
siderable excitement. So far as Mr.
Bryan is concerned, he will have his
hands full of fighting without Mr.. Wat
son to stir him up. but the crowd gen
orally is more or less good naturally
peeved that Watson will not be on
hand this week

Ready to Help Run
Roller Over Bryan.

The Georgians will vote for Parker
for temporary chairman, and, if nee
essary, will join movement to run the

to finish, although they hope to avoid
any such necessity They do not think
1t would be wise to nominate a man of
such ultra conservative trend as Park
er for the presidency, and they will not
so vote, but theg do believe that Parker
represents a wing of the party that is
entitled to recognition In the organi-
alton of the convention.
They will vote for Parker because
they believe Parker's election to the

plish much good by way Of harmony,
and could accomplish no harm, save in
so far as Mr.. Bryan's getting mad at
the very jump may be regarded in the
light of a calamity

Fielder Won t Try

The would be trouble makers for the
Georgia delegation rather lost their
heads last night when they undertook
to put out the report that Tom Fielder,
of Atlanta, was seriously disputing
Randolph Anderson's right to second
the nomination of Underwood. They
even went so far as to say that Fielder
had prepared a speech that he was de-
termined to deliver. no matter what
the delegation says about it, and that
he would deliver it or raise trouble. OF
course there was nothing of truth in
the story
Fielder has no idea of undertaking
to second Underwoods nomination and
has not asked the Georgia delegation 10
assign him to that duty. He acquiesces
perfectly in Anderson's selection and
has no thought of undertaking to butt
in on anything. The truth is. the

they may, but without a sign of sue

: GEORGIA DELEGATES
UP IN ARMS AGAINST
DICTA TION BY BRYAN
BY JAMES B. NEvIN.

BALTIMORE, June 25.-The Georgia
delegation went into the national con-
vention today strongly anti Bryan.
Practically to man the delegation re-
sents Mr.. Bryan's anti Parker attitude
and evident disposition to make trouble
and to dictate to the convention.
The individual members of the dele
cation we're outspoken and more or less
bitter in their comments on MIR. Bry-
ans position. right on the eve of what
they think should be a winning fight.
The Georgia delegation declared it had
fallen right into line with the army of
workers who are seeking to make this
convention a love feast and a gather
ing OF Democrats tolerant or one an
others opinion and determined to get
together for a contest that promises TO
be the most sweeping victory the Dem
ocratic party has known since the war.

out. Upon no house occasion we're the
commands of Bryan needed. Men,
when they didn't defy him. turned a
contemptuous back and walked away.
i. Upon a capital of three defeats Bry-
an in sixteen years has made himself
rich-as lecturer and publisher. He
who can toss three defeats into the
crucibIe and transmute them into gold,
is an alchemist of commerce to whom
all men must bow. Even as he comes
to this convention he defeats proverb

There have been those who afore-
time were quoted as sowing tares. But
Bryan is the only one who ever sowed
tares and got paid for IT.

man, Sulzer a Clark man, Quin Har-

have likewise their preferences.

Here it's "nothin' doin'." Neither can

The word is that Murphy and
Tammany have come here with
out a candidate. There is a secret
whisper abroad, however, that Under
wood will be their man.
Until handful of weeks ago, Har-
mon was the preference. But obtec-
lions arose. The Harmon conservatism
was much too well known, much too
thoroughly resented. Whereupon a
shift was made to Underwood as one
invested with a comfortable conser-
vatism. Those who know or think
they know, assert that Murphy will re-
ceive the Wall Street word in time.
Also that when he receives it the word
will be Underwood"
