MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Decem-
Der "A, 1912 A pre-Christmas run
of 5000 cattle to-day was taken at
strong to 10 higher prices, though
buyers quit early, and a few cattle
had to be held over. Added to the
gain of Is to 25 cents yesterday, this
makes prices as good as two weeks
ago, but not quite back up to the
high point of this month. The ad-
vance, however, sets forth the healthy
condition of the trade when not ham,
pered by excessive supplies, and con-
servative marketing after the first of
January will doubtless result in firm
markets. December receipts of cat
tie here will total $50, 900 head, which
will be thirty percent more than
were received last December, and
about normal supply for the month
when compared with Decembers for
several years back. This is in line
with the heavy purchases of feeding
cattle this fall. As rule these cat
tie have been marketed after a short
feed, nearly all of these bought pre-
vious to October 18th, having already
crate holdings in feed lots for the
next month or two. Some very good
steers bought $3.50 to-day and there
will probably not be not many sales
above nine dollars for some time,
bulk of the native steers under 800.
Some low grade southern cattle form
the receipts in quarantine division
today, though good meal fed steers
weighing up to 1150 pounds sold here
yesterday at s7.25. Stock steers sell
up to S6. Is this week, and best feed
ers at $40. Hogs arrived to the
number of 5000 to-day, and the mar
ket showed some class, sales strong
to five cents higher than yesterday,
though the close was weak. Tops
brought s7.45, bulk s7.10 to $40.
There is not much conflict over pric-
es, packers being content to let
things run along on fresh
meat basis till receipts increase,
which is expected after the first of
the year. Weighs will be heavier
then also. and strong effort will be
made to lower prices. Sheep and
lambs are also selling better this
week, prices Is TO 30 cents above the
close of last week, top lambs today at
$500, yearlings worth up to 800,
wethers $500, ewes $3.50, feeding
lambs g. so tos7.OO. This has been
the mildest December in the middle
West since 1907, and absolutely free

One thing we admire about John
Connolly is that he is taking care of
the newspaper boys. Another great
thing to his credit is that when the
boys call on him he tells them at
once the status of their case. He
seems to be remembering his friends
and there is a mark of great man.
Occasionally men are elected to con-
gress who are at once surprised and
dumbfounded with their own great
ness, and they forget their friends.
Such men are of short duration.
Whatever may be the end of Con-
nelly, we certainly endorse his be-
ginning Stockton Review.

took a walk out north to the place of
worship on the Sabbath day. 1t was
a beautiful morning and the sun
seemed to do its best to make the
world comfortable but the globe had
gone so far north and had reached its
limit and started back again to get
the benefit of the light and heat of
the sun in full measure.
Nature as we'll as the old earth
seemed to rest quieteiys and to gather
strength to produce another harvest
to supply the wants of all living crea-
lures and gladen mans heart. The
thistles which are so abundant
along the way side testify the truth
that what God hath spoken stands
fast forever What a change it will
be when the earth is recreated and
shall blossom as the rose all the year

The Sabbath School opened at the
usual hour, begun with beautiful
hymn, '.T'is So Sweet To Trust In
Jesus" The lesson for the day was
Missionary work. All Christians are
salt of the earth and light of the
world, and must have a part in bring

come again rejoicing bringing his
sheaves with him. After the Sab
bath school a short talk was given on
the tithe system showing from the
bible that one-tenth of all income be-
longs to the Lord and must not be
used for any other purpose than for
the ministry of the gospel.

gathers up the big and momentous sub
ject OF industry. with its beginnings set
out anew. its lines of growth marked, it's
stages of fruition amplified and inter

brought to bear upon the substantial
point of this study that is, upon the pres

relation to the body polite. The current
questions of competition and combination
are again gone over in clear and concise
exposition, bringing out TIE basic prob
lens that they involve. The logical rela-
ton of the people to the land is a most
instructive discussion. The various types
of industrial government are sketched in
graphic comparisons and contrasts A

pose of securing a clear and authentic
