MARKET REPORT

x aI1sas City Stock Yards, Tuesday.
February 25, 1913. Cattle receipts
fell one thousand head short of the
early estimate of IL 900 for today, and
the market accordingly gained
strength through the session, steer
sales closing 10 higher in some cases,
and the general market strong to 10
higher. = drove of heavy black cattle
brought So 90, which is the highest
price paid since January 1st, though
some steers brought 1885 yesterday.
Light steers are selling little more
freely than heavy weights, but the
whole list is moving freely. with an
undercurrent of strength plainly
discernable. Three-fourths of the
steers now sell at IS. 90 or more, and
shippers of middle class steers fire.
quently get 25 to 50 cents per hundred
more here this week than they ex-
pected when loading. Feed lots are
said to be pretty we'll shaken out, and
no burdensome supply of fed cattle is
believed to be in the prospect for
either the near or the more distant
future. Country buyers believe that,
for they are paying up to s. 90 for
stock steers, and ST.75 to IS. Is today
for desirable feeders. Packers are in
a defenceless position as far as fight
ing the market is concerned, and
while the good conSumptive demand
enables them to dictate selling prices
of the product, the necessity for
filling that demand makes them
powerless to resist price advance on
live animals, under the present vol
ume of marketing.
Hogs, too, are getting away from
the killers, whose talk about six and
half cent droves a few months ago
appear now like conversation that
belongs to a long past age. Prices
are up 10 to Is cents today. receipts
16, 600 head, top $3.50, bulk 50. 80 to
$3.50. Packers refused to pay above
$40 for long time today, but had

for good hogs and six or eight loads
brought that price, including hogs in
each class, light, medium and heavy.
Prices of ewes and weathers have
been advancing for a week or two,
while lamb prices have either remain
lambs sold at $3.50 today, against
S.. IS last week for the best. bulk of
the lambs today at $40. Ewes

The City Dude.

In a recent address Commits.
sioner of Agriculture j. W. New.
man criticized the proud moth.
ers of the State for encouraging
their daughters to marry we'll.
groomed salaried city dudes to
the plain honest farmers. He
sayskentucky needs better men
and women for citizens and i'm
plies the best way to get them is
to keep them on the farm.
In this Mr.. Newman is right.
In the cities where are the best
opportunities for enlightenment,
we find the most wickedness and
misery. One step toward the
city is the worst step any coun-
try citizen could possibly take.
There are few good people in
the city, but most all of them
came from the Country and are
anxious to get back to the coun-
try. st

Distribution Of the Dog Tax.

After paying all claims for
sheep killed by dogs, the Audit
or's department at Frankfort will
pay into the school fund from the
1912 dog tax $45, 709.15. Sheep
claims amounted to $52, 498. 63.
Claims from each county are paid
out of the dog tax collected in
that county from which the mon
ely originated, and the balance,
if any, goes to the school fund of
the county. Thirtv-two counties
will receive no money from this
fund for their schools, the sheep
claims having more than eonsum-
ed the entire1dog tax collections.
There were no sheep claims in
five counties, one of them being
our neighboring county of Wolfe.

The Cool Weather.

The cool March-like weather
seems to want to linger long
with us. Better now than later.
Nineteen years ago cold spell
came past the middle of April
and bit down to the ground all
the oats sown and froze out all
the young clover. Ice on the
creeks froze to allow ice houses
filled for the first time that year,
the weather being colder than
any time of the winter. 1t was
cool oft and on up to May Goth
when we awoke on that morning
to fad a deep snow had fallen
which killed all the fruit and
wrought destruction to our gar
dens. We do not anticipate a
repetition of this happening, bnt
something like it may occur, as
the unexpected is always taking
place, and we should not be sur
prised at similar weather to that
of former years.

Harry Forkner, the IL year
old step snnaef Sam Wright form.
erly of this city met death in a
horrible manner Friday near Win
chester. The Forkner boy, in
company with Lige Curtis who
was about the same age, was in
search for old iron to sell to junk
dealers. The Curtis boy says the
Forkner boy was trying to get
hold of a piece of iron under the
stock scales of ii. A. Hampton,
and in craw ling under, his head
caught between the heavy beams.
He was unable to loosen himself
and his gutteral sounds as he was
slowly choking to death, fright
ened Curtis and he ran home aud
refused to tell what he knew,
until Policeman Ballard threat
ened to put him in Jail. He then
told his story, and the missing
hoy was soon located. The Fork
ner boy had only been dead ii
short time when discovered about
midnight, after having been in
the death trap about six hours.
The body of the dead boy was
taken to Stanton for burial.

Useless Reserves.

The national banking law pro
vides that every national bank
in reserve city or central re-
serve city shall have a reserve of
lawful money equal to % per
cent of its deposits and every
country bank shall have a reserve
equal to Is per cent of its depos.
its. If the amount of reserve
falls below this percentage it is
provided that the bank shall not
increase its liabilities by making
new loans, nor make aay divi-
dend of its profits until its re.
serve has been restored.
The penalty for failure to
MAINTAIN such reserve or to re.
store it WITHIN thirty days is the
appointment of il receiver to
wind up the affairs of The de.
faultlng institution.
Last fall many institutions fail
ed to maintain their reserves at
the legal limit fixed. They fail.
ed to do so, in 1907. The Comp.
troller of the Currency was a.
ware of the violation of the strict
letter Of the law but he appoint.
ed no receivers. He realized last
fall, as his has realized before,
that in stringency banks must
pay out their reserves or invite
panic. Is it not a foolish law
whose application would cause
panic or disaster.
