CHESTER, Pa, Aug. 25.-The one

struck this city as yet But a far

the police has arisen which has the

to a frazzle. This is no other than

The advent of this startling effect
was first noticed Monday at the Edg-
mont avenue pier. and from it there
arose a tale tinged with details that
went the rounds Of the city with in
credible speed and incidentally gave
the police some trouble. The trouble
end of it was brought about by a
citizen who happened to be pass

along the river, his eyes met a sight
which caused him to rub them, and
then he gasped. On the deck of the

Then busy Foot Guard officers escorted this one and that to the receiving line, where Captain A. H. Bronson passed them to Major Frank l.. Wilcox who introduced them , to the governor.

The Foot Guard standard and the national colors then appeared, carried by the lofty color bearers and escorted by two men who have served in the company for many years.

The recent hood OF grass cattle
and a slackness in the demand for
dressed beef combined TO make last
week one OF the worst markets that
cattle men OF the middle west have
ever passed through. In Detroit.
conditions were intolerable because
OF quarantine regulations that pro-
hibited all outgoing shipments.
This week. the situation is again
involved by the closing of the yards
for disinfection. The yards will re
main closed until Oct. 4, and in the
meantime all stock consigned to the
Detroit market must be sent directly
to the packing houses. where the
same provisions will prevail which
ruled during the embargo Of last
winter. Stock will be weighed di.
Iectly from the cars into killing
yards and without feed and water.
Prices will be paid that will make
up at least q part of the loss by
shrinkage incident to weighing the
animals without feed or water.
Since the slump OF last week. cat.
tie prices have made q substantial
gain as result OF reduced receipts
in all markets. The bad market"

mission men had the desired effect

wanted. thereby disproving the
claim made by the packer CROWD
last week that the coolers OF the
country were all full and the de-
mand unreliable. The demand for
feeding cattle Is imperative ana
thousands Of them are changing

prices than are usually the rule at
this season OF the year. A fair pros
pect OF q bumper crop OF corn Is one
Of the Influences helping the de
mand for both steers and lambs for
feeding purposes.
The sheep and lamb market Is
booming again as G. result OF recent
light receipts. The former are sell
ing at higher prices than were ever
before known In September. and
buyers find IL impossible TO secure
the stock that they need. even at
advanced prices. The lambs that
reach Chicago are nearly all In kill
ing condition. the feeder end being
sorted out In Omaha.
