KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 20
Killing kinds of cattle declined 100 25c
last week, and stockers and feeders
sold 20@90c lower the last half of the
week. Country buyers heard of the
lower prices and bought freely after
Tuesday the outgo to farms for the
week reaching $4,000 cattle out of a
total run of 10000 head. The decline
in fat stuff last week, which was
greater at other markets than here,
especially at Chicago, had the effect
of hating the heavy liquidation of
partly fat steers, and the run here to-
day is but 10000 head Everybody had
to show their hand on the buying side
today, and all hands proved to be
empty, hence the market is strong to
1Oc higher today, applying to both kill
ing and country grades. The top on
fed steers last week was 1925, but two
loads of steers here today received
bid of 1855, which the owner refused,
holding out for $SS5. They are prime
Herefords. Bulk of the fed steers go
between $700@S00. Cows are little
lower than ten days ago, and bulls are
off 25@40c, but all killing kinds APP
pear now to be on stable basis. Veal
calves bring up to $1,000, and will sell
around present figures till dairy calves
begin to swarm to market, several
weeks ahead. Middle class quarantine
steers sell at $6.25@675, best steers
stock steers sell at $6.25@
6.75, best steers $6.9O@75O, $1.40
above year ago.
Hogs arc ICt changing much in
price late; market is steady to-
day, top 81 10, lulk $7.25@7.35. The
net resu "~ TX was a gain of 10c |
on ligh logs, 7r1 a loss of &c on
heavyweishts, which accounts for the
narrow range of prices today. The
packers hope for larger receipts of
good weight hogs later this winter and
next spring, as weight making is prof

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, Jan. 30.-Prices in
Houston continue high on chickens,
celery, tomatoes and dollhouse stuff.
The Houston market ranges from 4c
to &c per pound higher on chickens
than any other leading market in
nearby States. Hens and spring chick
ems are scarce and not enough in sup
ply to meet the demand. Turkey re-
ceipts are light and prices range
around Ice to the trade. Larger re-
ceipts Of eggs are prevailing and
prices to the trade are as low as 21c
the dozen.
The banana market has recovered
from the recent glut and the fruit is
steady again. Several carloads were
received this week, but are too green
for immediate sale. Lemons are more
plentiful and are selling easier. Fresh
shipments came in this week.
The Houston market has escaped

Stories That Come From the Historic
Tower Of Londor.
Two stories of the intelligence and
sympathy OF our feline friends were
told me during one Of my numerous
visits to the Tower Of London while !
was living In England.
Southampton was prisoner In the
Tower with the Earl OF Essex during
Elizabeth's reign. In some strange way
or by some unrecognized faculty a ia
vorite cat Of his found his abode and
suddenly appeared to him. having made
an entrance down the Chimney. After
his release by James l.. Southampton
had his picture painted with his faith
full friend at his side. The portrait. |
believe. can today be seen ut Wilbeck
abbey.
The other tale is OF Sir Henry Wyatt,
who was committed to the Tower dur
ing the reign of Richard Ill. and suf.
fered much from want Of clothing and
food. He would have persisted II cat
had not come down into his room and
warmed him by lying on his breast
and saved him from starvation by
bringing him an occasional pigeon
caught on the leads. Although the
keeper was under orders not to i'm
prove his food. he agreed to cook any.
thing which Sir Henry provided. and
the pigeons which the cat brought
saved his nfe. He also had picture
painted showing the cat offering q pig
