MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards. May2, 1916.
The cattle market struck rough
place today, due to too many in sight
for tomorrow at. Chicago. Receipts
here was 8700 head, and steers sold
slowly, at steady to 10 lower prices;
COWS and stockers and feeders steady
The feature this week has been the
large supply of good to choice pulp fed
steers from Colorado, these cattle
being about the best offered, and
selling largely at S8.95 to SO 40.
Prime native steers are Quotable up
to S9.65, some yearlings today at SO so,
bulk of the beef steers $3.50 to So 25,
plain steers and dogies sS to so, a
few common steers to killers down to
$3.50, these later selling at compare
lively high prices as compared to
steers worth intrinsically much more.
The quest for cheap beef keeps cows
at a high figure, prime heavy COWS up
to So. so, bulk of the cows SO so to Sc. 90.
-Four loads Of good light weight quar-
antine steers arrived today, 1852 lbs
at $3.50. Stockers and feeders find

er, character of the cattle supply
indicates an early exhaustion of the
main supply sources now furnishing
cattle here, which means scarcity and
strong prices balance of this month
at least.
Hog receipts were 10000 today,
market 5 lower, after threats of a
greater decline which came to moth
ing. Demand is strong, especially
from packers, who need hogs for both
meat and lard. Packers cannot deny
that hogs are killing out at profit,
as per provisions quotations, which
means that the market is on a sound
foundation. Top price today was

OF THOSE WHO DO
BUSINESS WITH BENTON

1t is TO be inferred from reading the
columns of the Norton Daily Teie-
gram, Congressman ConneIly's Dem
Ucratic organ,) that it is opposed to
the candidacy of Otis L. Benton.
Hardly an issue comes out that does
not contain some artacfe intended to
be derogatory to Mr.. Benton. Yet in
all the waste ofzwords the Telegram
has never yet produced single argu-
ment or fact that could in any way
discredit Mr.. Benton in the estim1t-
ion of the thinking people. The p<in-
cipal grievance against NE. Banton.
seem to be that he is a benler aud
collects interest on the n1puey ha
loans. also that he is spending some
money on his campaign. Theeanclslsr
ion to be drawn is that Mr. Sou1alexs
gives his services, gratis, tnEl1e TeieS
gram and is working mercy for The
love of the game, since he finds so
much to complain of in the fact that
Mr.. Benton charges interest for the
use of his money. Ir is true that Mr.
BENTON charges interest, so+ do all
other men who loan money orgive SER
vice of any kind. By honest efforfy3
perseverance and careful investm666,
ME- Benton has accumulated ac011-
Portable fortune, and it is only Justi
that ne should receive Just cennpenr
sation from those who use his money.
Another thing that the Telegram
seems to have overlooked, is that Mr.
Benton was ioaning money in Decatur
county TO carry farmers thru years.
when other bankers were mighty
conservative about their loans and
and when he was not very sure about
getting any interest. To enlighteen
the Telegram regarding Mr. Benton's
standing among those who pay him
interest, we recite a conversation
that took place less than ten days ago.
A gentleman in talking to US said:
Il have, at home a pile of checks four
inches high that represent money
paid TO Otis L. Benton for principal
and interest, yet I think enough of
him to be out putting forth every
effort can to secure his nomination.
He had all the OPPORTUNITY he wanted
to close down ON me in years when
money was scarce and it was hard to
pay but he encouraged me to keep on
working, saying that be would see me

the same: Mr.. Benton will spend
some money in his campaign. So viii
every other candidate. The present
primary law has made it necessary
But to infer that he is buying his
way into congress is rank folly. To
say that he has bought the Republi-
