CATTLE MARKET HAS
 LOST ITS KEEN EDGE

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
 July 26.-The cattle market lost its
 keen edge last week, prices closing
 IS to 35 lower for the week.
 Receipts today are 11,000 head, and
 the market is 10 to 20 lower on kill
 ing grades, steady on stockers and | feeders. Packers claim the beef mar
 ket Is in extremely bad condition, and | their complaints are so loud and so
 oft repeated that some credence must
 be put in them.
 A set of Jewish holidays has de- pressed the market on big steers, and
 while a break in prices at this time is l logical, in view of the increasing sup ply of grass cattle, the decline on prime steers IS more emphatic than appears called for, and few believe it will stick Middle and low grades, of course, must stand the customary pruning. one effect of which will be shutting off loading in South Texas, as present prices prevent cattle from paying out. Accommodating abundance of roughness, and some hopeful look ing corn fields are the stimulus be- hind the stocker and feeder market
 Prime heavy steers brought So75 today. bulk of native steers SS25 to S940. Kansas wintered steers $S.25 to So COWS S550 to $6.75, heifers SIPS to SS.25 bulls $575 to $550, veal calves SS to S10.25, stockers S7 to $7.75, feeders SIPS to SS, few feshy feeders at $S.25 to So, quarantine fed steers S7.5O to SS.75, quarantine grass steers $50 to SIPS.
 Hogs sold strong to higher, order buyers paying $7.55 for several hun dren hogs. and S760 for one load packers paying SIPS to S750, with heavy hogs mostly around S7.30. Re ed l,l00 head shipped by packers from another river market to Kansas City for slaughter. Lower provisions last week caused declines. although there was some recovery toward the last of the week. Packers demand is main ly for butcher hogs, suitable for fresh pork trade, rough heavy hogs getting slow action at all times. Or der buyers took one-ifth of the sup ply last week, generally at prices 5 to 15 cents above the packers.
 Sheep and lambs are selling strong CT, lambs gaining g cents today. to- tai receipts only 1000 head. Of the supply today 1.700 head were Arizona spring lambs. which sold at SS. in two lots, 65 and 70 pounds respectively. Three or four loads of feeding lambs were picked up last week at SIPS to $7.55, and couple of loads of breeding ewes at S6.25 to $675 Western stock should start running in about two weeks.

SETON IS NO LONGER.
: CHIEF OF SCOUTS
FACT THAT HE REFUSED TO BE-

REASON.

New York Feb. 21.-Ernest
Thompson Seton is no longer chief
scout of the Boy Scouts Of America,
nor is he any longer a member of the
executive board of that organization.
MIR. Seton's official connection with the
Boy Scouts was severed at the last an
nual meeting, held in Washington on
February IL, but no public announce
ment of this fact was made.
Those who had in charge the mat
ter Of ending Mr.. Seton's official con
1cction with the Boy Scouts did 1t by
simply abolishing the office he held.
1t is known that there has been
some feeling against Mr.. Seton be-
cause he is British subject, and has
consistently refused to take any &C
ton leading to his becoming an
American citizen. Inssmuch as tn ;
Boy Scouts of America is strongly
patriotic organization, and lays fully
as much stress on love of country as
upon other principles 1t desires to in
culcate, It has been felt that Mr..
Seton's tenure of one of the two chief
Offices laid the organization open to
criticism on this score
Mrs. Seton was an active worker for
equal suffrage until II became Publicly
known that her husband was a British
subject, and that therefore she was
