MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, February
23, 1915. Some of the buyers were
looking for heavy fed steers this
morning, and that kind were quoted
10 higher, sales at S7-85 to So Is
Some higher steers sold at $3.50 to
S7.8e, and were called steady. Med
ium steers and butcher grades were
steady to 15 higher in extremes
Some of the. cattle are claimed by
owners to be losing fifteen dollars a
head, but others are almost paying
out. A drove of steers bought here
November 10th last, at s7.25, average
weight 1913 pounds. by a feeder at
LaCygne, Kansas, were returned to-
day, and sold at the cost price, s7.25,
weighing 1925 lbs average The gain
on these steers was put on cheaply
the owner running them in wheat
field till January 1st, and feeding
them pretty strong since that date
Another shipment, here today was
some heifers at Sc. 25 and So. so, which
cost Sc. Is four months ago, having
gained $50 lbs in the interim. Pack
ers bought actively both yesterday
and today, under stress of a light
supply, $500 Monday and 5000 today.
Country buy gers are taking more cat
tie this week, although cases of foot
and mouth decease in Kansas found
late last week, repressed the buying
impulse for this week in a degree,
but stockers and feeders are higher,
and sell largely at Sc. 25 to s7.65. In
the quarantine division II loads of
good steers arrived from Texas,
around 1900 lbs average, selling at
S7.1O and S7.15, lighter steers at sc. 85,
highest prices in three weeks.
Hogs sold strong to 5 higher at the
start, top Sc. 10, but packers later be-
come bearish and the close was steady
to 5 lower, bulk of sales Sc. so to SO. IS
receipts $4,000 head Local packers
are shipping in good many hogs
bought at surroundings markets
where competition from order buyers
is not as strong as it is here. Quality
of hogs coming to Kansas City is moi
very good, and suits the order buyers
better than at any other market
and the packers have to meet ths
prices they set.
Sheep and lambs jumped up 80 Il
SO cents today, and the advance wa.
more on some late arrivals of lamb
that sold at the top, 5000 Bulk o
the lambs sold at 1866, 25 to 40 cent
above yesterday in figures, more ii
actual values, as pelts were wet to

DIVIDED COTTON BUYING
IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY
Whether Price Is Depressed Thereby
Has Long Been Debated Ques-
tiOn in This State.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta chronicle.
Spartanburg, Oct. 24.-The an
nouncement that the federal trade
commission has ordered an investiga-
ton into the charges that there IS
combination of cotton buyers in North
and South Carolina and Georgia to de-
press the price of cotton is of public
interest here in that such an investi-
CATION may bring under consideration
cotton marketing conditions in this
section of the State which has long
been a subject of discussion.
While no cotton mill presidents nave
expressed their views concerning sucl
an inquiry, their position is well
known in this territory. That this
county, for instance, is divided among
mills with respect to convenience to
certain mills is, perhaps, fact that is
generally understood. The mill men
take the position that the condition is
a natural one and that in buying at
the gins or mill stores, as they do, they
are really serving the farmer in that
his market is at his door and he does
not have to haul his cotton to market
centers. Whether the price of cotton is
depressed on account of this condi-
ton is question that mas long been a
source Of argument in this county and
in other counties where there is con-
siderable textile development.
The result of such an inquiry will be
interesting to this section of the State.

LAROR TROUBLES
TO FORCE CLOSING
JudgsOn Mill at GreenYiile Takes Ac
ton Following Organization
of the Workers.
TROUBLES

GreenvilIe, Oct. 25.-The Judson
mill. one Of largest of the fourteen in
this vicinity, will close down Novem-
Der 9Th because of labor troubles, ac-
cording to a notice posted at the mill
today by B. E. Geer, president and
treasurer. Delegates Of the United
Textile Workers of America organized
a local union here some weeks ago,
and recently the management discov-
cred its presence. Seventeen employees
were summarily discharged, the man
agement said, because they neglected
their work in seeking new members
for the union during working hours.
Tine men said they were discharged be-
cause they joined the union.
Some eighty employees of the weave
room then walked out because the men
were not reinstated.
Three hundred employees refused to
go back to work today. The mill was
picketed, and still others were persuad-
ed not to return to work.
Ninety-two walked out throughout
the day, it was learned. 1t is under
stood other mills are being organized.
No trouble has taken place, but the
sheriff and chief of police are watch
ing the situation
