A natural apathy was apparent in
the cattle market this week, following
the big Stock Show when exception
ally heavy shipments were made. Cat
tie prices suffered severe slump top
quality going at 2y cents lower and
other grades at even more of a de-
cline. Killers had supplied their needs
Temporarily and will have to work off
the surplus, but as liquidation will
be light for the next few months the
situation is expected to improve this
next week.
Hogs.
The hog market dropped off 10 cents
during the week, with extreme stop
at S7.S5 for the weeks close for choice
stuffff, with heavy stock 10 to Is cents
down. Liberal liquidation increases
the seasonable weakness.
Sheep.
The sheep house business held up
we'll for the week. Some choice NUT
ton and lambs were marketed Lambs
moved easily at 1925 and prime weth-
ers held their own at $500, while ewes

in ten years time first class mail
has produced net profits Of over
s6OO,000.OOO. Every person who has
been writing letters has been paying
a tax for the privilege. II is fun
damental principle in the conduct
OF the post Office department that IL
be operated at cost, and that the
public he required 10 pay only such
a sum as will properly maintain IL.
This principle has been violated in
the conduct Of the Post Office De-
partment in recent years, and II Is
TO bring about this reform that the
campaign for one cent letter postage
is now under way.
The present campaign is being
conducted by the National One Cent
Letter Postage Association with
headquarters al Cleveland. Ohio.
This association has members in
every state in the union. and
is backed by many thousands Of
business men and others who are in
terested in seeing just and equita-
BILE rate established on first class
mail. The sole object 10 10 secure an
Improvement Of conditions under
which first class mail Is carried. and
there promises 10 be such an i'm
provement at a very early date. for
il is scarcely possible that such an
lnsistent demand can be ignored
much longer"
