preferring to ship cattle in than ship
cheap forage out A feature last
week was large inquiry for cows and
heifers for breeding purposes. Good
to choice springers and thin cows sold
at $5.5O@6.O0, and choice stock hetf-
ers around $500. Prices Of stockers
and feeders were Is to Csc higher the
first half of last week, but the ad-
vance was removed in the trading
Thursday and Friday. Receipts
here Monday were $4,000 cattle, the
market steady to weak on killing
grades, and about 10 lower on stock
ers and feeders. Kansas bought
200, 600 cattle here the last five
months of 1914, besides cattle brought
in from Texas and other states d.
rect, which was more than double the
number purchased by Kansas same
period the previous year. Many OF
these cattle were bought with short
term money, which are beginning to
come TO market A good part Of the
supply Monday was from Kansas
wheat fields, or having had some
rough feed, and these cattle are still
in the stocker and feeder classes.
This is partly the cause of the weak
ness. Good to choice feeders are sell
ing at $7.1O@7.35, and good doing cat.
tie at $6.5O@7.OO; choice calves $3.50
1880; choice stock and feeding bulls
$5.5O6GOO. 1t is possible that lib
eral supply of thin cattle from Kansas
from this time forward will prevent
any sharp advances in the market,
but commission men say there will be
la greater demand also.

PetTograd, Jan. 6.-Along an ire
gular battle front extending from the
BZura river south and southwest for
eight miles, the Russians and Germans
are again engaged in terrific battle.
The Germans are again on the Often
siVe along this whole front, but the
Russians are occupying positions OF
great strength and reports received
from the front state that the Germans
attacks are being repulsed at all points
where their successful advance would
prove a menace to the Russians.
At some points the Germans have
succeeded in capturing a few of the
Russian trenches, only to lose them in
COunter-attacks by the forces OF
Grand Duke Nicholas. The only pOinr
where the Germans have succeeded III
holding captured ground is about Bolt
NOV, where they have taken part OF
the town Of Borjimow. The Russians
still hold their trenches on the east
ern outskirts of BorjimOw and are
making night and day attacks to drive
the Germans back.
The Germans suffered heavy losses
in their capture of Borjimow and it is
believed that they will be unable to
hold the ground they have won.
At points along the PiiCa river the
Germans by the sacrifice of thousands
of men. have succeeded in eros sing
the stream, but their positions in the
valley will prove untenable upon the
arrival of Russian re-enforcements
that have been sent to strengthen the
troops holding the heights upon the
right bank.
Rome, Jan. 6.-Advices from Vienna,
brought by messenger to escape the
censor. indicate that the Russian ad
vance into Hungary is gaining strength
rapidly. Already more than two hun
drad thousand CossaCks are reported
to have penetrated the Carpathian
passes and to be following the rail
way and highways south toward Buda-
pest The Hungarian capital is de-
clared to be greatly excited over this
latest development, and many Hun
garians are urging a revolutionary
movement to aid the Russians.
