THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb.
Receipts of cattle at the Dem
yer yards last week were compare
lively light and the market quiet
The demand was fair, but Eastern
markets were dull and this caused
a slow. dull market here, with
prices around quarter lower at the
close. Today supply was light, but
the bottom seems to have fallen out
OF the Eastern markets and prices
were again quarter lower here,
with very slow. dull trade.
Pretty good fat steers are selling at
$3.50 to 81, and it takes good cows
to bring 1915 to $500, with fair
grades at SIS to $3.50. Bulls are
selling at IS to $5.75 and veal calves
up to $1O.25 for the best light
weights. There is little demand for
feeders and stockers, except the
light stock cattle and choice light
feeders that can be carried through
and run on grass next summer.
The dullness here is entirely due to
dull markets at all Eastern points,
and the Eastern declines are large
ly due to liberal supplies, full cool
ers and a contracted outlet at the
Eastern markets.
Hog trade is fairly active and
prices are little firmer this week.
Good hogs sold today at $3.50 to
$3.50. Supply is liberal and every
thing is being taken readily.
Thesheep demand was very good
and the market active to the extent
OF supplies. Prices were a little low
er last week as result of lower
markets East, but the last few days
the situation has improved until
prices are much the same as a week
ago. Good fat ewes are bringing
$6.25 to $3.50, and good lambs
would sell up around IS.

At the New York Show 81 cars.

At the Chicago Show one Paige

FRANK PICTURES VIEWED
WITH DISFAVOR BY
CENSOR.

Motion pictures of the murder OF
Mary Phagan, the 14-year-old factory
girl, in Atlanta, Ga, and the arrest
and conviction of Leo M. Frank for
the murder were viewed at the Re-
gent theatre after the regular show
last night by Thomas Patrick Glea-
son, police censor. After the per-
Torrance Mr.. Gleason declared he
probably would not allow the picture
to run because of reflections cast upon
police methods, the jury system and
the courts. The pictures were re-
garded by those who saw them as not
strictly in accordance with the facts
of the case. They give the impress
sion that there is no question as to
Franks innocence. Conley, the Ne
