Roxburghe, formerly May Goelet,
has scored a big social success by
getting King George and Queen Mary
to visit the Roxburghe family seat
in Scotland, Floors Castle, for 1t has
long been known that the Queen does
not like Americans.
Floors Castle is generally full Of

Especial Correspondence

Washington, May AT no previous
session of congress has there been any
thing like the interest which is now
being manifested in the house and SEN
ate over the parcels post question.
The house, in connection with the
postoffice bill. has provided for an ex-
perin1ental parcels post on rural routes.
1t has also provided for commission
to study the subject 1t is well under
stood by everybody that this scheme Of
commission was put thru because
many of the members of the house were
fearful Of taking definite stand on
parcels post one way or another before
election.
Hence. there was a lot of figuring
done to throw the final solution of the
question over until after election and
the commission of investigation was
hit upon.
Nevertheless. the feeling is pro-
nounced in both houses that the parcels
post issue must soon be settled and
that parcels post system Of some
sort is going to be established because
the farmers Of the country are insist
ent upon it. Moreover, there is a deep
seated feeling in both houses that the
express companies are at the end of
their rope They will either be eradi-
Gated altogether or stringently con-
trolled.

tations.

Chicago May T.-On smaller run
the hog market opened strong TO
cents higher but closed easy, especially
on light hogs.
With the exception of Omaha and St
Paul, all western markets recorced
falling off in receipts as compared with
last Monday. Total number OF hogs at
eleven markets Monday aggregated
81, 500, a decrease of $4,000 as against
last Monday. $500 more than the cor
responding day year ago and an IN
crease of $500 over the same day two
wears ago. Total for 1912 to date
reaches 9,S6S,00O, which Is 1,279,0O0
more than the same time last year and
an increase of $4,000 as compared
with the sponding period OF 1917.
Cattle.
Cattle were steady. Receipts were
meager and quality was poor.
A general reversal of form in trade
was evident at the start this week as
compared with last Monday. 1t was
dragging, sluggish trade for every
thing below the strictly high grade
stuff which was in meager enough
supply to find ready outlet at prices
up to the level of last weeks sales
and at rather stronger prices than any
time yet. taking the big fill into ac-
count. Quite an uppercrust OF pusl-
ness was done Monday at ss.6o@9.oo.
Three or four loads of steers averaging
UP to 1927 to 1853 pounds sold here
I'D TO 50, and cattle that did not have
quite so much finish sold at $500 $50.
A big band of Montana hay-fed cattle,
TOO. of very high class found an early
outlet at a strong price. going to $S.25.
When it came to the rank and file
of steers and low and medium class
and even the very good class OF corn
fed steers such as sold last week at
SS.150S $50, ii was found to be very
slow going and unsatisfactory trade as
compared with the market any time
last week. Quite the reverse OF last
Mondays weather conditions prevailed
and cattle were taking on fill for
fair eating hay hungrily and soaking
it up with frequent libations at the
water troughs.
BUYERS were determined to counter
balance this added weight by lower
prices on paper and held their bids
1562O cents below the level of trad
ing here the first half last week and
bought good share of their cattle 100
Is cents under the figures for such at
the start last week, tho arguing that
cattle were going onto the hooks
dressed at only shade il any lower
cost owing to the very expensive fill
they were taking on Monday morning.
Sheep.
More activity was shown in live
mutton trade. Sheep We're steady.
