America last week included $3.i'
chilled and 1851 frozen quarters OF
beef. Australia contributed also l;iar-
tiers OF frozen beef and 1910 quarters
of chilled beef came across from Lon
don. In addition to this stuff lot OF
frozen veal is coming from Austreiia
and South America. New York re-
ceived 1858 bags of offal and pack

which comprises lons. ribs, hearts,

Sheep.
Notwithstanding that buyers Of

In trade opinion the buying side Is

500 cars OF fed stun was quartered at

the selling side Is confident Of its apii-
ity to force the market on good killers
to better levels.

MADAME LOUISE HOMER DE-
LIGHTS WITH SONGS.

An audience that filled the Burtis
opera house. Davenport, gave Madame
Louise Homer a most enthusiastic vel
come last evening on her appearance
in recital, the noted singer thoroughly
pleasing her interested hearers. Mad
anne Homer is considered one of the
foremost contraltos on the operate as
well as concert stage today, and she
has achieved her fame through the
possession of a voice of remarka BILE
warmth and beauty. She is friendly.
matronly woman, who seems to take
her audience into her arms and sing to
them Intimately, and she captivated
her auditors from the very first. She
is not a Schumann-Heink, for she
lacks the wonderful finish and polish
and phrasing that characterize the
great contralto, but she has a voice
of much richness and opulence. She
sings with great emotional color, her
diction is very clear and distinct; her
range is good. and at times displays
a remarkable volume of tone.
Her program was varied and gave
change for the display to the best ad
vantage of the qualities of voice for
which she is famous Among the num-
DerS mat she sang especially well
were Schubert's "Erlkonig," which
every great singer reads with varying
Interpretation of the composers
thought; the aria Mon Occur" from
Samson and DeliIah"; Don't Ceare"
by Carpenter and a group of four
songs written by the singers compos-
er-husband. Sidney Homer. "The Song
of the Shirt" Long Ago" Sing to
Me, Sing" and Battle of Blenheim,'
the second and third selections being
so we'll given that she was compelled
to repeat them at the insistent de-
mand of the audience.
Mrs. Edwin NJ. Lapham was at the
piano as accompanist. and did very
well. but although she did not drown
out the singer with great quantity of
tone, as so often accompanies will
do. she did not show the warmth that
the singing of the -soloist demanded.
Madame Homer appeared under the
auspices OF the music department OF
the Davenport Woman's club. who had
worked hard TO make of 1t the finan-
ciaI success that the artist was sure
TO make of it unsteady. and their eff
forts were well rewarded.
