SMALL ARRIVALS OF CHOICE CAT
TIE FINDS READY OUTLET
TO BETTER PRICES.

For prime grades Of cattle and even
the medium TO plain killing sorts the
market closed the week in favorable
condition at Chicago. Cow and helfer
trade has suffered severely by an
over-supply 10th at Chicago ana the
west. Declines Of 1o@15c are general,
while some grassy heifers have been
pounded down 5O66Oc from week
ago. Stockers and feeders, too. nave
been discounted 15@25c under last
week. The poorer the quality the
harder the stuff has been to sell.
Action of the hog market taken as
a whole has been good. Tuesdays
market was the best on short run
but since then packers appeared only
to need hogs at decline in prices. Inc
close for the week is about IN &c over
a week ago.
Almost every grade Of sheep and
lambs came Under the hammer this
week and declines measure from 100
15c on ewes to 5O@70c off for grass
range yearlings; native lambs. 25@35c

Strength in the market for the choice

entity is prevailing for high quality

few prime ones. with result that lot
of stuff such as is selling now at 1913
@e.25 is far from being prime, but
possessing good class 1t is gong INTO
the trade as substitute for the strict
ly high finished kinds which few
weeks back were mere plentiful than
now.
The trade is not looking for material
reaction from c-rrent strong price lev
els for the higher quality goods. In fact,
the trend OF affairs is the other way.
Right now Il really prime drove of
..eavy steers is declared by sellers to be
eligible to $3.50 and even better, since
tho top Monday at s9.45 Yves made by
steers which lacked few points of
being really IF prime finish.
Big proportion rf steers now CASH

undertone to the trade for cattle that
have had a considerable quota Of corn
fed and both Of yearlng and heavy
weight, but will, the underfed year
lings, as well as unfinished handy and
wcighty stuff il is an indifferent de-
mand. with buyers forcing strong price
discounts on kinds that lack class to
show well on the dressing sheets.
Choice Kinds are Wanted.
It is significant Of g broadening trade
in good to choice beef both locally and
in the east, despite the competition
from South American beef, which alone
is hurting the lower quality natives. A
double competitive force is at work In
the trade for the plairer natives, Texas
competition and that from the South
American beef although the fact that
supplies are net running OF generous
volume into any market is preventive
Of severe price breaks.
While a healthy and higher price has
existed this week for prime steers and
bullocks, such is not the case in lower
grade of butcher cattle. Cows and
heifers especially Of the common and
medium sorts have been pounded in

IRISH HISTORY IN MOVIES

Mr.. Walter Mcnamara, a we'll
known Irish-American, has now we'll
in hand the production of cinemato
graph films which will depict various
scenes of Irish history from about
1880 right up to the time of the
opening of the Home Rule Parlia-
ment in College Green next year,
when it is expected that the film will
be first exhibited Most of the in
cidents have been filmed on the spot,
the process taking several months.
Robert Emmett, Wolfe Tone, Michael
Dryer, Parnell Gladstone, Davitt
and many other famous figures will
appear, and it is stated that consid-
cradle pains have been taken to en-
sure historical accuracy in the var
ious representations. One of the
most interesting items will be the re-
production of the old Irish Parlia-
ment, which was acted for the cine
matograph near Kew few days ago.
Mr.. Mcnamara brought with him
from America two or three artists
for the principal parts, the rest of
his cast being made up of Irishmen
residents in England. The film when
finished will be it is calculated 1000

lRELAND's WEALTH.

r, p. Gill, secretary and permanent
head of the Department of Agriculture
and technical instructor for Ireland,
furnishes statistical proofs of the
rapid progress that country has made
since the land laws were reformed,
and these figures disprove the popular
notion that Ulster is the wealthiest and
most progressive part of the island.
Belfast is a progressive manufac-
turing city. but the rest Of the prov
ince of Ulster lags far behind the Sis
ter provinces of Lienster and Munster
as far as legislature and business de-
velopment are concerned. The census
report shows that S50,794 farmers in
Ireland own the land they till and
255,1O2 have not yet bought out their
landlords. The Imperial government
financed the enormous cost Of helping
the tenant farmers to buy their hold
ings and the very best proof that can
be given of the prosperity Of the en-
terprising farmers who have bought
under these conditions is that they
keep up their payments and that the
government is making good profit
out of it's Irish land business.
Ulster exceeds Leinster in area and
population, but Leinster lands are as
sessed higher than land in Ulster.
Munster, according to Mr.. Gill, also
runs we'll ahead of Ulster, one Of the
signs being that there are 60S.000

fire on the press censorship estab-

said thousands of dollars spent by
American newspapers had been vast
ed in consequence of the censorship,
and he suggested that trained news
paper men should be added to the
staff of the censorship bureau.

1RELAND's OPPORTUNITY.

The Ascendancy Party and the
British army ought certainly to look
upon the European war as a sort
of providential favor, for it was the
only thing that could intervene to
save the aristocratic army officers of
the British Empire. 1t is worthy of
note that the British generals who
resigned from the army and who
mutined when sent to Ulster, now
that the war has begun in Europe,
are given important positions in the
English army. 1t gives them an OPP
portunity to bring the attention OF
the army to the British public. and.
should the army undergo much hard
ship or experience difficulty in the
war it may assist, in some degree,
to quiet the disgruntled rank and file
of British democracy who are out OF
patience with the English army.
The fact that now the Ulster vol
unteers and the national volunteers
may be placed on a military basis and
used in defence of Ireland. or, If
need be. actually placed in the ranks
of the army and dispatched to for
eign shores, is of serious concern.
Herein lies Ireland's opportunity.
Premier Asquith has expressed the
gratitude of the government with the
loyalty of Ireland at this grave hour.
The opportunity should be grasped.
The advantage of the hour should
be seized upon and the cause of Ire
land should be put forward. Oppor-
tunity is knocking at the door. There
is crisis in England and climax
in home rule. Have not the sons of
Ireland fought the battles OF Eng

the battles of every nation in Europe
but their own? Why should son of

concerns England alone. when their
battle has not been won? Why prom
Use a drop of Irish blood to England
in this crisis when the blood is need
ed on Irish soil? There is no nee
essity for counting England's favor.
There is no need for promising sup
port. If the government wants the
Irish soldiers let the government do
something for Ireland. The Irish
volunteers sprung into existence in
the interest of Ireland alone. The
rise of Ireland will keep equal pace
with the decline of England and the
activities of the Irish volunteers
should be confined to Ireland alone.
Every loyalty that exists in Ireland
should be subordinate to loyalty to
Ireland's interests. The service of
