WEEKLY KANSAS CITY !
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

lSlo.-CatCle sold 50 70 0O higher last week, with every indication that the market was gathering strength, re- ceipts of 28,000 head today met a strong demand, trade active and prices shade higher. The run is largely from distant points, and its character suggests that this will be the last heavy week in cattle receipts this season. Total for the month will be around 360,000 head, exclusive of 30,000 calves, twenty thousand more cattle than were ever received here previously in one month.
 Beef Cattle
 Prime finished steers are ouotable up to $11, but the best heavy steers here today brought $10.40. Short fed steers sell at ss.25 to ss.50, warmed up steers up to $8.50, and though feed is high cattle that have done we'll in the feed lot are paying out at any stage. Finishing shipments are com- ing from all quarters, and selling at 2 to $7.75, light steers $6 to $6.75. Range beef steers were numerous to- day, and sold at s6.75 to SIPS, from Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, some heavy Oregon steers late last week at $7.15 to $500. Local killers brought in 25 cars of canner cattle from St. Louis and Chicago to help out on orders here in the last week. Gamers cows sell at $4.50 to $500, medium to good cows up to $6.75, choice weighty cows s7 or better.
 Stockers and Feeders Higher
 Shipments out reached 38,0OO last week, and prices ranged 30 to 50 higher. Offerings today contained some choice three year old New Mex ico steers at s75O, pretty good Texas yearlings at $7 to $7.25, medium grades $6.25 to s7. Fleshy feeders sell up to $S.S0, high bred range feeders S to s7.50, plain feeders $6.40 to $7. Texas stock heifers weighing 625 pounds brought s6,35. this morning, some weighing 7l6 lbs $5.75.
 Hogs Decline
 Heavy receipts of hogs at all points caused decline today, but it was not as severe as it looked at first, the close 5 to 10 lower, top s10.15, five cents below Saturday, bulk of the sales $9.75 to $1O1O. Heavy hogs and medium weights each sold up to the top, light weights up to $1O.O5. Local prices have not only been run ming above other river markets for some time, but are now close up to Chicago, conditions that will continue indefinitely because of feed scarcity in Kansas and Missouri, which means scarcity of fed stock at Kansas City.
 Sheep and Lambs Go Up
 The market ruled 10 to 15 higher, following advances late last week. Prime lambs are quotable up to $11, although the best here today sold at s10.9O. Native lambs stopped at $1o.- 20, fat ewes around $7. Feeding lambs are stronger, and if prophecies of local sheepmen count for anything, winter prices are going to be high, and the feeding operations attended with profit. Range runs will soon be over, when all classes will be scarce and strong. Feeding lambs bring $9.35 to $10, breeding ewes. $7 to s9.

THOUGHT VICTIM OF
SUBMARINE, IS SAFE
Owners Announce Vessel
Was Not in Territory
Raided - Confusion of
Names Cause Report

Boston, October 12.--The British steam
er Kingstonian, reported as among those
torpedoed by a German submarine off
Nantucket last Sunday. is safe in port,
according to word received today by John
NJ. Thomas, of this city, local manager
of the Leyland line. which owns the
steamer Mr.. Thomas said his informa-
ton showed that the Kingstonian was
thousands of miles from Nantucket last
Sunday.
AS the Kingstonian is in the service of
the British admiralty Mr. Thomas was
not permitted to indicate the port at
which she had arrived. This informa-
ton confirms the opinion held by marine
men here that the report Of the King
stonians loss arose from confusion of
her name with that of Christian Knud-
son, sunk by the U-boat Captain Wilson
of the British steamer Strathdene, an
other U-boat victim, hailed a passing
vessel and inquired her name. He un-
derstood the reply to be Kingston and
later after the submarine had torpedoed
the same vessel Captain Wilson reported
to the Nantucket lghtship the loss Of
the supposed Kingston" There was no
record of any steamer of that name, but
it was thought possible that the King
stonian might be the submarines victim,
as her movements are not regarded in
maritime registers, because of her work
with the British admiralty. The theory
now held by shipping agents here is
that the vessel hailed by the Strathedene
was the Knudsen.
The first British steamer to leave this
port since the appearance Of the U-boat
was reported, sailed today She is the
Corunna, coal freghter bound for
Louisberg, c. b. A few hours later the
Leyland liner Memphian with a big car
go, largely grain, sailed for Manchester
England
The steamer Kansan, which was held
up by the German submarine early Sun
day morning. and was later allowed to
proceed to this port. where she took on
horses for Genoa, Italy, is now expected
to sail tomorrow The delay in her de-
parture on account of fear of the sub
marine off the coast has been costly to
her charterers, the Franco-Canada Line,
1t is said, as the charter price is under
stood to be $1,000 a day, or nearly 500
an hour

displayed, and among the things at
tracing especial attention was the
electric talking machine motor, which
may be attached to any mind of ma

which many people object, and also
gives the machine uniform motion.

most attractiva-only a button to be

lstyles of motors for the sewing ma

regulated by the foot being the most

One of the most unique things was
the electric oven, which resembled a
tiny safe with the combination lock.

AFINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE

Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during the
past few years that Ns treatment should
be understood by all.
Science has fully proved that Catarrh
is unconstitutional disease and, therefore.
requires q constitutional treatment.
sprays inhalers, salves and nose douches
seldom il ever give lasting benefit and
often drive the disease further down the
air passages and into the lungs.
If you have catarrh or catarrhal deaf
ness or head-noises, go to your drug
gist and get one ounce OF Parmint
Double Strength). Take this home and
add to it \ pint Of hot water and I
ounces OF graduated sugar; stir until
dissolved, take one tablespoonful times
day.
This will often bring quick relief from
the distressing head-noises. clogEed nos
trils should open, breathing become easy
and mucous stop dropping into the throat.
This treatment has a slight tonic
action which makes 1t especially cffec-
tive in cases where the blood has be-
tastes pleasant and costs. little. Every
person who wishes to be free from THIS
destructive disease should give this
treatment trial.

How to Absorb an

The face which is admired for its

pink and white and youthful looking.
THE only thing known that can make
such a complexion out OF an aged, faded
or discolored one-that is, natural,
not a painted, complexion--is ordinary
mercolfzed wax. This remarkable sub
stance literally absorbs the, unsightly
cuticle, little each day, and the clear,
healthy, girlish skin beneath gradually
peeping out until within a week or so
it is wholly in evidence. OF course such
blemishes as freckles, moth patches,
liver spots, blotches and pimples are
discarded with the old skin. If you will
procure an ounce of mercoiized wax at
the drug store. use like cold cream ev-
ery night, washing 1t off. mornings,
you'll find it a veritable wonder-worker.
Another valuable natural treatment is
a wash lotion to remove wrinkles which
can be easily prepared. Dissolve an
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half
pint of witch hazel. Battle the face in
this and you'll find it works like mag
ic.''
