MARkE REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, October
I, 1913. Thirty thousand cattle re-
ceived yesterday, followed by twenty
thousand today have not injured the!
market anywhere, everything selling
steady to strong today. as compared
with the close of last week, some
cases little higher. Stock cattle
and feeders are finding the usual
broad outlet, and the somewhat re-
stricted number offered, as compared
salesmen to secure certain advances
in the lost ten days sufficient to put
prices at the highest level of the sea-
son. Stockers sell at SIS to s7.75,
with fancy light yearlings up to SIS. 25,
and feeders at s6.25 to ss.I5, near fat
steers up to $3.50. Prime steers on
the open market are scarce this week,
some at 1925 yesterday, and a few
sales today at SO 90 and upwards, but
the representation at the Royal Show,
in progress here this week, is very
high class. and when the fat animals
are sold on Wednesday some new top
prices will doubtless be recorded
Colorado and the panhandle country
are holding the center of the
stage this week, steers from the
plains being largely in the stocker
state, and ranging from Sc so to s7.75,
cows at $500 to 1926, calves $3.50 to
$3.50. and Mountain steers selling 20
killers at S7OO to 90, and to feeder
buyers at S7.15 TO s7.65, cows and
heifers at S6.0 90 to S7.0O. Kansas pas
ture steers are now on feed, and some
of them are coming this week good
enough to bring IS. 35 to $500, bulk
of them at S7.00 to S7.s5. Quarantine
territory is running low on cattle,
and offerings are comprised chiefly of
medium to low grade steers, at s5 so
to $3.50, and cows at S4.75 to SIS. IS,
Gamers around S4. 35.
| Hog receipts today number 1000
head, market to 10 lower, light hogs
declining most. Packers insist on
concessions and though the shipping
demand is good, sellers are necessarily
on the defensive, account of season
able increase in receipts. Average
weights are due for an increase. and
the premium on heavy hogs win
probably be greater than usual this
season, account of the low feeding
conditions in Kansas City territory.
Top today $40, bulk $500 to SS 35.
Sheep and lambs are plentiful to-
day, 240O0 here, but they are selling
very satisfactorily, top lambs $3.50,
bulk around S7.25, ewes S3.s 80 to s4 -35,
feeding lambs largely at s6.4O. So
far packers sorts have been light, and
demand for feeding stock has not
been fully supplied. AS the season
advances there will be larger per-
centage of feeding stock included.

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
the occurrences of capillary bronchi-
tbs and pneumonia use cough medi-
cines that contain codine, morphine,
heroin and other sedatives when you
have cough or cold. An eXpector-
ant like Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy is what is needed. That cleans
out the culture beds or breeding
places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is
why pneumonia never results from a
