Big steers Are Money Losers.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Farmers
and Drovers journal prints the fol-
lowing on the steer market outlook:
The past season has witnessed an
unusually large supply of heavy
steers marketed at Chicago. A year
ago, when the trade was on $10@11
basis and largely at $10.50@11 for
heavy steers, there was grand incen-
tive for the beef producers to grow
lot of big bullocks for this years
market. ....-,..... g.. s,... .-..... b.. ....
They did it. Starting in with hea-
Wy feeding steers, they roughed them
through the winter. and last spring
and summer, with corn at cheap cost
they fed literally. The result has
been an excess of heavy steers at
market in the past few weeks.
In the past week there were more
of them on sale than, any similar pc
riod in some years back A terrific
price pounding has been noted and
cattle that required a selling JT.ce OF
$9.25@9.50 and higher In c.'der to
make profit for their growers have
sold 40@50c under those prices.
Those big feeders and the little
ones, too. who annually purchase a
crop of choice beeves for the fall
trade, will be inclined to short feed
another year. Corn has advanced
fast In the past few months and they
finished steers on feedstuffs which
make the cost OF every pound OF gain
stand them higher than the selling
price on the market.

ADAPTATION OF THE PANNlER
"Peetop" Skirt Cannot Be Considered
a Novelty, and Many viii Even
Deny Its Graeefulness.

II is now some time since the pan.
nier skirt was heralded with a loud
blast Of trumpets In fact, It has been
with us long enough for It to become
necessary to give 1t a new name, and
consequently we are now presented
with the pegtop skirt and asked to
consider it a novelty. As a matter
of fact, the pegtop skirt is nothing
but an adaptation of the pannier.
Whether 1t is a pretty one or not
must be decided by each for herself
1t would probably be more becoming
to the average woman II she we're
clothes pole.
However, It has come among us,
and certainly its most successful ex-
amples are those of day gowns, or
at any rate short skirts; for in a
trailing dress the width of the upper
part of the skirt, with its caught-up
fullness, is in ludicrous contrast with
the attenuated, meandering train. One
of the strangest forms of pegtop skirt
is that which is caught up in front
with a great bullying mass Of fullness
hanging over the place where 1t is
caught up. This is certainly not be-
coming nor pretty; it is even scarcely
seemly.

Or the soft seal which makes a good

MUCH DISPLAY ON MILLINERY
Lace and Ribbons With Fur of Many
Kinds, Are All Considered Prop

Fur bands, wings, quilts, aigrettes,

The combination of lace and fur is
frequently seen on dressy hats. For
instance, a large wing Of lace will

or a fur-trimmed model of brocaded
velvet will have a lace facing.
