INCREASE IS REPORTED
i IN Female WORKERS
Gain Of Nearly 8 Per Cent From
1880 to 1910 Is Shown by
IA Census Bureau.

The proportion Of gainful workers in
the female population of the United
States ten years of age and over in
creased from 14.7 to 23.4 per cent from
1880 to 1910. according to a report on
occupations which has just been pub
ished by Director William J. Harris of
the bureau Of the census, Department
Of Commerce. In the same time the
proportion Of the male population ten
years Of age and over gainfulIy occupied
Increased from 7S7 per cent to S1.3 per
cent
The proportion of the whole population
ten years of age and over engaged in
gainful occupations increased from 47.3
per cent IN 1880 to 533 per cent in 1910.
the increase being least rapid from 1880
to 1900 and most rapid from 1900 to 1910
Whether or not the feminist move
ment'' of recent years has anything to
do with the gain is not stated in the
report, but the fact remains that the
women OF the country have increased
their ranks Of gainful earners nearly
per cent during the time taken in by
the census. and that during the same
period the men have made a gain of only
Q little more than 2 per cent.
Women Making Inroads.
OF course this is in some degree ex-
planned by the fact that the proportion
OF men engaged IN gainful occupations
Is naturally a large one, and therefore
prohibits any startling increase In the
ranks. However hat may be. the fact
remains that the women of the coun-
try, according to the figures of this re-
port. are making large inroads in the
places where '.gainful' occupations are
to be had. and that the proportion of
unoccupied females is decreasing each
year.
There were 3oO1 5G4 males engaged in
gainful occupations in continental United
States In 1910. as compared with SO75. .I72
females-'that is says the report, "of
a total of IS. 167.s .s.13fi persons engaged in
males and 21.2 per cent were females"
Workers Number Two-Fifths.
States more than two-ffths of all per
sons-over three-ffths of all the males,
but considerably less than one-ffth of all
the females-were engaged In gainful oc-
cupations in 1910. In the population of
ten years of age and over more than
One-half of all persons-oyer four-fif
of the males, but less than one-fourth of
the females-were gainfully occupied
The report states that practically one
third of all gainful workers in the United
States in 1910 were engaged in agricul-
ture, forestry and animal husbandry
Domestic and personal service was the
only general division of occupation in
which the women outnumbered the men,
there being In this general division more
than two women employed to each man.

CIUCCI HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Accused of Forgery in Connection
With Deposit of C. & O. Check.

Louis A Ciucci, charged with forgery
in connection with the deposit OF a

check at the North Capitol Savings
Bank was held for the action OF the
grand jury in 5000 bonds today IN the

defendant that as Ciucci signed his own
name on the back of the check It was
not a forgery. Assistant nited ota'es
Attorney Ralph Given contended that in
signing his name. Ciucci also wrote
agent and o., which he declared
constituted the forgery charge.
Cucci was standing near raliWaS

was handed to him by a person VINO be

Kansas City Market Letter
(By J. A. Rickart, Correspondent)

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. 2I, 1914. A run of 32,ooo cattle surprised the trade today, but did no special damage to the market, steady to IS lower expressing it. The supply was strictly run of grassers, the delegation showing corn being lightest, in proportion to the total receipts, of any day this fall. Some near prime steers managed to get up to Io.55 today, steady price, and some of the real prime article will be here Tuesday for which it is predicted HOO will be paid. This class is steadily advancing, and is immune from market declines that effect other cattle. A large share of the supply is from Oaklahoma, Texas and Colorado. Killing steers from Oklahoma and the Panhandle sold at 6.6o to 7.oo, and high class stockers and feeders at 6.75 to 7.75, cows 500 to 6.35, odd head more, stock calves 6.75 to 8.35, veals up to 1925. More cattle are coming from the south west than was expected month ago, for tte reason that buyers on the range are not taking as many as counted on, and maturing loans are bringing the cattle to the open markets. Colorado had sev- eral trains here today including beef steers at 7.25 to 7.65 and 20 cars of 1000 lb. feeders from Eads at 7.4o to 7.55. Quarantine sup ply is 60 cars today, including some fair sized strings of middle grade steers, at 5.S5 to 6.75, and cows at 4.75 to 600, close to steady prices. There are plenty of country buyers here today, local stables having difficulty in furnishing a sufficient number of horses to accommodate them for riding about the yards. Prices are shade lower, steers largely at 6.5o to 7.5o, stock COWS around 5.75, heifers $50, calves 700 to 8.35. Outgo this week will prob ably be largest of the fall to date. Hogs sold steady today, top 800 bulk $50 to goo, receipts 6ooo
 The market is cratic, being a two sided affair. Packers are pounding prices because of mar. rowed outlet for lard and pork product, and declinining market tor same. On the other hand, order buyers are getting urgent orders for fresh pork material, and for bacon hogs, from which the market gets most of whatever little bloom it shows. Fridays session was sensational, order buyers and serum makers taking almost the whole crop, regardless of asking prices. Dealers expect an uneven trade this week, with lower tendency.
 Sheep and lambs reached a high point middle of last week, but dropped rapidly after that, and prices continue to tumble today. All the markets are heavily sup piled, 30, ,ooo head here. Lambs are around one dollar below the high time last week, and sheep 50 cents lower. It will be a fine chance this week to secure mate rial for feeding this winter. Trade was late starting today, and quo- tations are somewhat in the nature of a guess, best lambs around 7.6o, yearlings 6.25, wethers $50, ewes SIS, feeding lambs S6. 50 to

Chance for Cement Makers

American manufacturers have not yet made the most of their opportunities to establish greater export trade, according to Geo. Otis Smith in Bulletin 5oo of the United States Geological Survey. Statistics show that the export of cement from England, Germany, Belgium and France not only have been considerably greater than those from the United States, but have borne much higher ratio to the production in these countries. The quantity of cement exported by France in recent years is estimated to have reached at least B per cent of her production and that of Germany about Y per cent. There are few cement plants in South American coun- tries, and in the past these coun- tries have been supplied mainly from Europe. There is evidently an opportunity now for the cement industry of. the United States to secure this trade. u. 5. Bulletin.
