Slow to take hold at the rates now
current. Yard dealers were holding
their supplies nearly as high as at any
time. following the full 10G 15c advance
noted yesterday. and the trade on coun-
try account was very SLOW TO get under

very short supply OF stock and feeding
cattle and sltho the trade lacked the
activity Of Monday, prices We're about

In the Monday trade practically no
feeding steers averaging 1000 pounds
or better went to the country outlet,
killers taking nearly everything of that
weight that showed flesh enough to
make useful beef. A part load of
choice heavy feeders sold at ss.05, but
the bulk OF trading was in 500 10 $50
pound weights and prices were largely
at 1925 Oils. altho some selected year

as high as IS and there was a sprink-
ling Of common and plain light medi-
UNI weight stockers at SIS down TO

low S6.75 comprised only inferior

Stock and feeding heifers are selling
to q right good demand largely from

NEARLY BILLION DOLLARS TO
OBTAIN TELEGRAPH LINES

Washington. d. c., Dec. 25.-Govern-
ment ownership OF the telegraph and
telephone lines OF the country would
cost less than $s00. 0.000, 900 and pre-
sents no greater difficulties of financ-
ing than did tho Panama canal project,
Representative Lewis of Maryland told
the house in an analysis OF his propos-
al to have these lines operated by tha
postoffice department, as is done sue
cessfully in England and other foreign
countries.
Investigation discloses that our tele-
graphic rates are the highest among
twenty countries" said Mr.. Lewis.
The result of these abnormal rates Is
that the United States ranks ninth as
a telegraph user. Against these con-
ditions, II appears that our postal rates
average lower than other countries and
that the number Of letters here is the
highest in the world.
The telegraph companies seem to
be lacking in institutional economy or
efficiency, The operation OF sending a
telegram is loaded down with "A Incl
dental services and processes, not less
than so of which would be replaced BY
affixing the postage stamps. The
American inefficiency is further exag-
gerated by the duplication Of telegraph
offices in all our important towns and
cities and the denial OF the service at
many thousand necessary points"
!! 1t may be added to the above that
while there are $1,000 postoffices In
the United States. one telephone COM
pany alone has over 10000 stations. It
will thus be seen that II the govern
ment acquires and operates the tele-
graph and phone lines many places
which now have no mail facilities can
be reached instantly by way OF the
telegraph or telephone.
In England every postoffice and sub
station is also telegraph office. The
service there Is excellent and the
charges are trifling.
