Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 5 1912-Cattle receipts fell below the ex pectation again last week, and the market made gain of Is to 40 cents. On cattle from pastures in native terri tory the market YVES the highest of the year, footing up 1s,OOO cattle, not in- cluding 1,40O calves that came iu. Out side markets were well supplied, and it looked like lower prices at first. There was good demand, and not much change could be noticed in the prices. Top steers in the native division brought $9.65. They were light steers, weighing less than 1900 pounds, from Nebraska. R,pe steers of greater weight would bring more. Cattle from pas lures ranged from $65O to $S.75. Feeder buyers were in the field for some of the pasture steers, but killers bid the hig h. est on them. An Illinois man offered $7.90 for some 1,200 pound steers, but an order buyer from New York landed them at $S.4 40, the fifty cent margin be- ing due to competition from the killers. Killers paid $7.50 for some Greenwood County, Kansas, steers denominated as ''dogs" by an unsuccessful bidder. Sup ply of quarantines quit at 137 loads to- day. Osage steers sold at $57O to $6.50 weighing ssO to 1O5O pounds, grass COWS bring $S.75 to $S.5O, bulls t40O to $500. Owners all over the field show a disposition to hold calves back, hence prices are 25 to 50 cents above week ago, though shade lower today. best at t9O0. Stock steers bring $4. 50 to $6 75, Hog supplies to-day 1000 head here. market 5 to 10 higher, top $837H, bulk $8 20 to $s.35. The bulk of sales is closing up, because practically no heavy hogs, which sell 10 to 25 cents below the others, are coming. The bulls are clearly in the majority when opini: ons are expressed about future prices. Sheep and lambs are steady to-day, best spring lambs $75o, wethers worth up to $40, ewes $4.O0. Feeding lambs bring $500 to $6tO. Run is light to-day, 4, ,000 head, but stuff from the North. west will be coming freely later this week, and constantly henceforth for some weeks.

The Age of Concrete

At present a comparatively new material is pushing it's way into popularity, and that for an infnitude of uses. Portland ce- ment, as it was first called, was first made known to the world about 1924 at Portland, En gland, where it was first mann tactured, and came into favorg able notice in connection wits submarine construction where ordinary stone work had utter ly failed. It was not until 1895 however. that 1t was manufact- ured in the United States, and 1t was only within the last decade that it has begun to supplant br1ck and stone as building material. Made by the calcina tion of mari, clay, slag and other materials, 1t absorbs water free ly and is mixed with sand and broken rock in varying propor tions, the strongest being one part of cement to two of sand and four of aggregate" It sets almost as soon as mixed; con tinues to absorb water and to harden for many days. and gains strength tor many years.
 Millions of bags have been used in constructing the Pana- ma Canal; no forti6cation is considered complete without It: great bulks and lighters are built of steel skeletons coated with concrete, and the belief is very common that it must soon re place both wood and brick in house construction. Indeed, the high price of lumber, the greater cost of brick, owing to higher fuel and wages, with the result ant use of inferior lumber and brick weakened by modern pro cesses which hasten the burning but leave the product much more porous and softer than those made in the old way, must tend to increase the use of concrete for dwellings and small build ings of all kinds. Immense areas of sidewalk and pavement are laid yearly and swiftly increas- ing, and in the stupendous tun. nels, sewers, bridges, dams. sea walls and other public structures concrete has largely replaced brick and stone.-National Mag azine.

The object of the organization was for certain special business of vital importance to the cowmen along the line of the Santa Fe railroad and also for the general welfare of their interest. The organization is already a strong one with a large membership and a number of others will also join as soon as convenient and that the association will do a great deal of good for the cattle interests there is no doubt.

AFTER LOWER
 FREIGHT RATES

The letter given below was re- gently sent out to the railroads mentioned by the Arizona Cor poration Commission regarding the various freight rates now being given with view of ad- ljusting the same. and making same more equally and fair to various towns along these lines, and in which the citizens of Winslow are especially interest ed. The men on this Commis- sion seem to be up and doing at all times and ore doing wonders for the new state.
 The letter follows:

 COMMISSION.
 PHOENIX, ARIZONA August srd, 1912 MR. EDWARD CHAMBERS,
 A. F. T. M., Santa Fe,
 San Francisco, Cs1if. MIR. G. 0. LUCE,
 | F. T. M., Southern Pacific O.,
 San Francisco, Calf.
 Dear Sirs:
 Interstate Commerce Commission opinion No. 17E5 in case docket No. 1795, Maricopa County Commercial Club vs. Phoenix & Eastern Railroad Company, ct all, names rate of $3.60 per ton on coal from Gallup, N. M. to Mesa and Tempe.
 The Commission in their opinion says: eve shall prescribe as a maxi mum for the future a joint rate of $ 60 per ton, and shall expect the carriers to adjust the intermediate rates on the basis of the rates prescribed" It appears to this Commission that tue carriers have not fully complied with the spirit of the order of the Interstate lCommerce Commission.
 The $3.6O per ton rate was prescribed as the maximum joint rate to Mesa, a three line haul, or considering the Santa Fe as one line and the Southern Pacific as another, it would be two dis tiuct line hauls. We notice that your tariff blankets this rate back toward Gallup to and including Flagstaff purely local haul of the Santa Fe main line. In other words, you exact the same rate for the hanl to Flagstaff, 1s6 miles. that yon do to Mesa, 452 miles The rate to Mesa figures .00s, and to Flagstaff .0l96 per ton mile. It ? does not seem in the light of these , rates that you have adjusted the inter n mediate rates on the basis of the rate named to Mesa.
 The rate from Gallup to Holbrook and Winslow, 95 and 132 miles respec- 7 lively, the rate being $3.25 and $3,55 respectively, is complained of by citi- I zens of these towns as being excessive. This Commission would be glad to see rates named from the producing points : in New Mexico and Colorado to all :. Arizona points that could be defended g by this Commission and yourselves. 6 as being fair and reasonable.
 There are great many inconsistent . cies in the existing schedules froD Trinidad, Colorado. Raton and Cerril- ], los, New Mexico. yl Before proceeding in any other di- rection we thought proper to submit this question direct to you and ask what consideration. if any, you will voluntarily give in the direction of S more equitable adjustment. -l Yours truly, l, (Signed)
