MAKING new RECORDS
Enormous Receipts of Cattle and Hogs
at Western Markets.

Kansas City. Sept. 3.-The cattle re-
ceipts at the local yards today were
1000, making the total receipts for
three days this week S2,000-a record
for any three days. The market opened
slowly this morning and a lowering of
prices seemed inevitable. The enor-
most receipts are proving too much for
the buyers and the price is being slow
ly forced downward with the receding
demand.
The western markets, Chicago, Oma-
ha ST. Louis and Kansas City, have re-
ceived altogether 10000 cattle this
week. which esta blishes a record.
The hog market holds steady not
withstanding the run of $50, 900 in the
western markets today.

to dispose of the differences between
house and senate in conference in less
than two weeks" he said. Il am not
disposed to fight the senate to main
tain all the house provisions. No diff
ferences of principle are involved. L
believe the senate has cut too much
revenue from the bill and if 1 can con-
vince the conferees that my estimates
are correct 1 think the senate will be
willing to put some of the revenue
back"
