stockers and Feeders.

Chicago. Feb. 24.-lt has been a week
Of remarkable strength and activity in
trade in stockeEs and feeders demand
up to Friday. When a heavy rain freez-
ing as 1t fell put everything in bad con-
dition and served as a damper on the
market. Under such conditions the
week lend trade has turned down
slightly and more young cattle are go
ing over in the hands Of spectators
than expected, but nothing at all bur-
densome-no more than 1900 head
most Of these cattle Of rather ordinary
class.
Prices during the week reached the
highest stage for young cattle Of their
class in the whole history Of the trade,
some 752 to S37-pound Angus yearlings
being taken on actual feeding account
up TO 1925 and dozen fat 1,055 pound
Shorthorn steers going to a butcher
feeder at SS.35.
Feeders and local sluaghterers have
entered into strong competition for
fleshy feeders and along with all light
s'ocker stuff they are selling fully 10
M15 cents higher than the previous
week, with instances Of 25 cents gain.
Great bulk Of the fairly desirable to
strictly good 600 to S00-pound steers
sold at S7.25@7.S5 and fancy Angus
yearlings sold up to 1925. These 1925
steers, however, were outstanding
quality and considered by some trade
authorities as good as any in the re-
cent international show. A twelve head
lot of 1,055-pound feeders sold at 1885
to make up a load, but these and feed
ers selling at s cents and better have
been we'll fleshed and half-fed
classes that hardly reflect the condi-
tion of the general market. In this
Thursday trade some 621pound Angus
yearlings of very high class sold up to
IS and several loads of heavier more
aged fleshy feeders made $S@8.15. AT
| cost of 81 only very ordinary light
class of stock steers is obtainable and
anything desirable in the feeding
heifer line is selling above Sc. The
good advance in prices for fat cattle
and hogs during the past few weeks.
| together with light receipts and fore
cast Of still shorter supplies In the
! opinion of many traders makes cur
current high cost Of thin steers appear
warranted, but others took discour-
aging view Of the ability Of young thin
stuff bought at current cost to pay out.
| Great abundance Of feed Of all kinds Is
the chief buying incentive, and as re-
| Gently demand centers most strongly
on thin young stuff Of good breeding
| that has a chance to grow out of Its
/ high cost.

WANTS DEPOT ON
MARKET SQUARE
Commissioner Archie Hart Be
ieves r. l. S. Should Have
Terminal There.

Il am in favor of the Rock Island
Southern terminal being placed at the
intersection of Market square and
Seventeenth street, declared Commits
sioner Archie Hart this morning in dis
cussing the efforts of the interurban
company to come up town.
Il believe that the company should
place its depot at that point instead
of the proposed Twentieth street loca-
ton because of the dangerous railroad
crossings the public will have to trav-
erse in getting to the same.
The fact is, the company should
have proper waiting room facilities in
more convenient location. and be-
lieve Market square is the site for it.
Perhaps the Tri-City Railway company
could be induced to share in the cost
of construction of a waiting room. The
city has long needed this, and my pro-
posed plan would open the way for it,

Epilepsy.

Mrs. Charles De Smith. aged Sc
years, SIT Sixth avenue. was found
dead in an out house in the rear of
her home at 1915 o'clock this after
noon by her husband Death was
probably due to an epileptic fit to
which disease she was subject.
That she had lain on the floor of the
building where her husband found her
for several hours is evidenced by
nelghbors, who say that they had seen
her go TO the building at O'Clock
this morning and had not seen her
return.
When her husband arrived at noon
he did not find her in the house and
a search of the neighbors' home failed
to reveal her. He finally discovered
her lying dead on the floor of the
building. Coroner r. c. j. Meyer com
menced the probe. "a the home
of the deceased at ) o'clock this after
