THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Auc
l4.-Receopts of cattle on this mar
ket last week were quite liberal and
the trade active. The first big run
Oh grassers from the range country
came IN early in the week and sold to
good advantage Prices at the close
or the week were about steady with
Mondays quotations and there is
little change today from last week g
close. The feature of the trade was
the sale this morning of 3S choice
steers, weight 1,422 pounds. to local
packers at $50, the highest price
OF the season here for grass steer,
Most of the pretty good grass steers
are selling from $50 to 1920.
Cholce grass cows from Wyoming
sold at $6.S5 this morning and most
of the pretty good COWS are selling
from Sc to $3.50 with fair cnws
from 1925 to Sc. Bulls are bring
ing $4.75 to $40, and veal calves
are selling from $3.50 to slO.5O.
The feeder and stocker demand is
fair and supply fair. Prices remain
very much the same. Good steers
are selling from $3.50 to $500.
The hog supply has been light the
past few days and quality nothing
extra. Prices are rather higher than
a week ago with good hogs quoted
from $3.50 to 500 and something
extra fancy would bring a little more.
The market is in very good share
here and prices paid compare well
with those quoted at other points.
The sheep supply was very good
and there was a good trade Prices
on ewes are firm and best kinds sold
up to $7.15 this morning, this being
the highest price of the season here
for grass ewes. Lambs, however,
are little lower today in sympathy
with eastern declines and pretty good
lambs are quoted around $1O.25 to
$10.50. Choice lambs sold last week
up to $10.65 here. The demand is
good.

An interested audience listened last
night TO Eva ngelist Serns as he spoke
at the Bible Institute on The Devils
Vacation" Much favorable comment
about the quality OF the lectures was
heard from those In regular attend
ance. This lecture dealt very largely
with the millennium. The speaker
said in part;
During the last three hundred
years Bible students have advocated
reign Of peace for one thousand
years Preparatory to this time,
peace advocates will multiply. and
Christendom will sing the long waited
for hymn, Peace and Safety" He
continued: The millennium Is bound
ed by the two resurrections-the first
at the second coming OF Christ, when
His efulgent triune glory is q de-
structive fame TO the wicked living
They perish at His presence. Dur
ing the millennium the earth becomes
desolate wilderness. uninhabited:
the heavens become black For
one thousand years His Satanic Ma
jesty. the Devil. will be in chains of
circumstances. The righteous mean
while are IN heaven
Describing the close Of the mil
lenniurn. Mr., Serns affirmed Quoting
from Revelation. xx:5): THE rest OF
the dead lived not until the thousand
years were finished. This Is not a
spurious text: II Is found In 1897
manuscripts containing the book of
Revelation. The purpose of the Soc
ond resurrection Is to administer JUS
tice and Judgment 10 those who vio-
late Gods will. The humiliation of
the wicked ends forever the contro-
