Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. A.
Beef cattle are starting January In 4
promising way; sales steady yester-
day and steady today, with the late
market active and stronger. Moth
ing very toppy in beef steers has been
here; a few up to 8.25 yesterday, and
some today at 500; bulk of the steers
700 to 7.75; a few plain cattle at
$50 to 6.75. Good cows sell around
500, and choice ones would reach
6.75; good heavy bulls up to 800;
fancy baby hifers 7.5O to 900; one
lot of good $50 ID. heifers today at
.7.50; medium class heifers of heav-
Ter weight SIS to $50; veal calves
500 to $50. Stockers and feeders
are selling strong; choice stock cattle
brinbing high prices string of
Panhandle yearlings brought 500
yesterday, and some fancy white face
yearlings were sorted out of a drove
at $40. However, 600 to ZOO buys
most of the good stockers, and plain
feeders bring 6.25 to 6.75; few
fleshy feeders up to and above ZOO.
and one or two lots recently up to as
high as 500. Cattle on feed at the
Western Sugar mills are just start
ing to market, but will not run freely
for month yet, and western hay fed
cattle are not to be reckoned with
for two months or more, and it is
possible that the January market
may be more satisfactory than has
been anticipated. A few wheat field
cattle are starting from Kansas, but
the volume of that movement for a
month or two will depend on the way
the market acts. Hogs came in lib
orally today; $4,000 head here, and
the market exhibited its largest capac-
ity, buyers cleaning up the supply at
prices that aveaged steady with yes
terday with something of a flourish
at the finish; late sales around 5
higher. Top was 6.75. Bulk Of sales
6.45 to 6.7Os light weights up to
ESQ. Light hogs are selling relative
ly better, as compared with other
weights. than last week. Several
years Of light crops of corn in Kan
sas City's territory, and the attend
ant discouragement to hog raisers,
are reflected in lighter supplies here
than at other markets, with cor
responding keenness of competition
and strong prices in efforts of pack
ers to kee ptheir plants here busy.
Lambs sold weak to 10 lower here
today; sheep steady, receipts 1900
head. Best lambs sold at 9.25, year
lings 7.90 to s.25; some choice weth-
ers weighing lis lbs. at 700, a new
high price this winter, and ewes at
6.25. Sheep feeding districts which
supply this market are carrying a
short number this winter, but north
ern markets will be literally supplied
for while from the northern Col
orado an dwestern Nebraska feeding
districts, which have more lambs and
sheep on feed than ever before.

got stuck on his way down. All of
his own efforts to extricate himself
We're unavailjng and there he remain
ed, stuck fast. his feet down and his
hands up over his head, until at last
help came in answer to his calls.
The negro was hand on Mr..
Emanuops place. Evidently he
thought there was an easier way to
get rations than to buy them, but he
found that the way of the transgres-
sor Is hard. not only figuratively, but
literally. How long he remained in the
Chimney is not known. but his calls
for help were heard at about
three o'clock IN the morning
when Mr.. Emanuel went out to
investigate. All efforts to pull or push
him out Of his fastenings were ineffec-
tual and chimney had to be torn down
to extricate him: When released he
was SO limp and helpless. that it was
several hours before he could speak
He was put to bed and given atten-
ton and recovered later in the day,
when he stated In explanation of his
being found in the chimney, accord
ing to reports Of the affair, that he
had been locked up In the store and
was endeavorins to get out through
the chimney.
The negro was not prosecuted, as
1t was thought that his Punishment
had already been sufficient, but he
was told to leave the place in short
order.
