mand to holp up well and sales went
around S10.15 @10.45 perhaps not
more than a dime OFF. The fair to
good cattle sold at S9.5O@10.0O. The
supply of cows and heifers was small.
and the prices were about steady.
There was a broad demand for any.
thing desirable in the way Of butcher
or beef stock. Strictly good to choice
heifery stock sold around S7.7598.50.

TAKE CAR OF COAL
Des MOines Mayor Provides
Supply Thru Seizure.
Kansas Coal Expected to Re-
1ieve Oklahoma Shortage.

Des Moines Ia, Dec. 2O.-On the
grounds of public necessity in the
face of a coal famine. Mayor John
MacVicar today seized a carload of
coal belonging to the Bloomfield oCal
the market price. The coal will be de-
livered by city teams at cost to homes
without fuel
The mayor had threatened to con-
fiscate coal ready for shipment out of
Des Moines eff necessary to save peo-
pie from freezing here" The city is
confronted with the worst coal short
age in its history, despite the fact that
there are a score of big coal mines in
the county. 1t will be 8 degrees be-
low zero here tonight, is the weather
forecast.
Mayor McVicar charged that local
coal operators were deliberately keep
ing down production to hold up prices.
Expect Kansas Coal.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 90
While the temperature dropped to
within s degrees of zero, coal dealers
began to figure how long their supply
would last. Today's drop in tempera-
ture taxed the coal bins pretty hard
An actual shortage of coal is feared in
the western sections of the state where
the recent coal strike decreased pro-
duction materially. With the car short
age to contend with and with the rail-
roads consuming most of the coal they
haul, prospects for a coal shortage
were altogether too bright Shipments
from Kansas are looked for
