BUILDINGS WOULD
 MAKE A BIG CITY

NEW YORK, Jan. l6-By spend
 ing on new buildings during the past year a sum of money greater than
 in any similar preceding period, New
 York has achieved a new record of
 having added enough structures to
 house the whole population of a city as large as Savannah, Peoria or Fort
 Wayne. These buildings, indeed, ac- cording to figures covering this field of expansion, which are now being completed, would be sufficient to make half a dozen sizeable cities. The figures show that close to l2,0OO new structures, or about 30 a day,
 were added to the city last year.
 Even were they all dwellings of the one-family kind they would easily accommodate a population of 60,000 persons. As a matter of fact very large number of the new structures were buildings capable of housing from scores to hundreds of persons so that the capacity of all IS probably in the neighborhood of l50,00O or about equal to the popula ton of Atlanta, On the accomplish ment of this great amount of con struction more than $206,0O0,0OO was expended being far ahead of the amount similarly applied in 1911 and approximately one-ffth of the annual expenditure of the national govern ment Remarkable as this record for the five boroughs of the city is that for the Borougr of Manhattan, that is, the narrow strip extending only as far north as One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, is looked upon as even more eXtraordi- nary, since in this limited area S116,- 100000 of the total of S206,000, ,000 was expended, a record which it is believed has never approached by any similar area in the world. While it is not easy to estimate the aver age height of the city's l2,0O0 new statisticians are already pointing out that if 40 feet, certainly not an extravagant estimate, be ac- cepted, the new buildings would be placed one on top of the other form a structure nearly fourteen miles high.

OFFERINGS ARE
 NOT VERY CHOICE

NANoAO VI . OSh l ANDDs Jan. 13.-A revival of 10 to Is cent in fed steer trade last Wednesday failed to stick, the market on the heavier kinds showing some soft ness at the end of the week Be low the middle grades feeder buyers are sharp competitors for every thing, a condition that is closing up the range on fed steers, nearly ev- erything selling now between S.00 and 5000. Butcher grades remain firm and stock cattle and feeders, though losing a little bloom the last days of the week, finished fully steady with close of previous week. Receipts of cattle here today were l2,000 head, and the market is re- petition of recent sessions, weak on the upper half of the feed steers, firm on COWS, heifers and butcher grades, a shade higher on feeders and stock cattle Nothing toppy in fed steers is here today, though large share of the run is steers from fed lots. The best ones here today sold at SS.35, thought prime steers would go up to 5000 or better Feed CTS sold at S75 today, showing the faith of country buyers in the talk of the trade that the real cattle shortage has not been uncovered yet Thin heiferS for feeding brought 5000 to S640 for tops last week Colorado feeders reached %50. Fifty-six cars quarantine cat tie came in today, selling from 5000 to S.40 for the steers, the Gatewood steers from Celeburne selling at the top. Steers weighing from 1000 pounds upward bring $7.00 or more.
 The main element of weakness today is a run of 28,0OO cattle in Chicago, at which place buyers com plain bitterly of the quality of the ogerings, indicative of broad liquida- tion.
 Prospects for a big Monday run of hogs started a weakness Saturday, and a realization of the foreboding of Saturday in a run of S2,000 hogs at Chicago injected some more real weakness into the market today Top hogs brought %25 today, bulk N.00 to %.20 Future markets will depend on the size of runs at the markets, as the trade is poised on a decline pivot Receipts here today o000 head, two thousand above the first estimate.
 Sheep and yearlings are steady to- day, but lambs have receded little | from the crazy market of last Thursday, when So3O was paid. Top lambs brought 5000, yearlings worth | up to $500, wethers 5000, ewes to- day at $5.50. Receipts here today l3OOO head, showing that a good | deal of scurrying was done by own CTS to get under the high price wire. | The Monte Vista district in Colo rado is shipping freely, but no other territory is apt to furnish burden l some supplies at this juncture

GENEROUS HUBBY IS
 SUSPECTED BY WIFE

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 16.-Mortimer Courtney, fifty-three years old, liv- ing on the Denny road in St. Louis, county, south of Kirkwood, brought his wife Edith, forty-three years old, into the city on a shopping and pleasure trip. After they had bought theater tickets Courtney escorted his wife to a jewelry shop.
 There to the great surprise of Mrs. Courtney, her husband selected and paid for $575 worth of diamonds. and made her present of them.
 Then he took her to another jew elry shop and brought aditiona1 cost ly trinkets for her As they were leaving the second shop he turned to the astonished Mrs Courtney and said:
 Now, my dear, I'm going to give you real present. I'm going to buy you an automobile"
 Instead of joyfully accompanying her husband to an automobile esta- lishment Mrs. Courtney told him:
 Not just now, Mortimer, you come with me. I have a person in mind whom I wish you to meet"
 The person Mrs. Courtney had in mind was the policeman at Sixth and Olive streets. To the policeman Mrs. Courtney said:
 Officer, arrest this man. Hes gone crazy"
 Vainly did Courtney protest his Sanity both to the policeman ,...I 1o Mrs. Co1rtney. On the woman's in sistence the policeman took Court ney to the dispensary, where the physician, after examining him, dis missed him as perfectly sane. But Mrs. Courtney was not satisfied, SO the policeman took the pair to see the captain."
 Capt. Schwartz, who then exam ined Courtney at the central police station. could not find that the man was abnormal in anything other than ulta generous impulses anent his wife.
 "He is insane" insisted Mrs Courtney to Captain Schwartz, "Be- sides the jewels he bought me three pairs of shoes, himself half a dozen suits and overcoats, and he spent half of last night taking cold water bath in preparation for this trip into town"
 Schwartz held to his ruling that Courtney was sane. nevertheless. and the latter called to his wife:
 Come on, mother. let's be going.
 "I'll not move from this station until I see you safely put away" she retorted.
 While they were arguing the prop osition, Courtney conhded to policeman that he was "very sorry about this. Been married twenty two years, always loved one another. and now she's insane"
 The policeman promptly reported Courtney's opinion of his wife to Captain Schwartz. who then under took to question her. In the course of the lengthy examination of his wife, Courtney stated that he had sl7, 900 worth of property and lots of money in the bank.
 "Its only $13,5O0 that property is worth, and you owe $500" cor rected the wife.
 We'll" said Capt. Schwartz, neither of you has shown me any good reason for thinking the other one insane So you'll have to go home"
 Whereupon Courtney called again. Come on, mother" and this time Mrs Courtney went
