SOME FACTS ABOUT MERCURY
Astronomers Have Been Studying the
Planet and Published the Con-
eiuSions Arrived At

The planet Mercury is the smallest
OF the major planets and the nearest
to the sun, which it circles in a little
less than three months. II reaches its
greatest distance from the sun at
periods about sixty days apart. During
the year Mercury is morning star three
times and evening star three times.
Owing to its nearness to the sun, it is
never visible for more than a period Of
about two hours after sunset or the
same length Of time before sunrise.
The eccentricity of Its orbit Is greater
than that Of any other major planet
its greatest and its least distance from
the sun differ by nearly 100000
miles. According to A. w. McCurdy Of
the Royal Astronomical society Of
Canada, the most remarkable Charac-
teristic In the motion of Mercury is
that when 1t is nearest to the sun it
travels faster than 1t should If it
moved only by the solar system. AS
tronomers have long sought an expla-
nation of the accelerated motion. Some
believe that there are other planets
at present unknown between Mercury
and the sun-bOdies that although nu-
merOus are too small to be seen. The
movements Of Mercury indicate an In
fuence that might be accounted for by
the presence Of another planet revOlv-
ing within its orbit. If such a planet
really exists, there should come time
when 1t will appear as a dark spot
moving across the face Of the sun. An
other way to detect the presence Of
new planets In the vicinity Of the sun
Is to take observations during a total
eclipse. If there are no clouds at
such a time, the stars become visible
as the sun disappears. During the
total eclipse of the sun In 1873 one OBJ
server saw an object that he thought
might be the lOng-sought planet; but
no other astronomer has been able to
confirm the discovery and many now
believe that the hidden source of the
unusual movement Of Mercury must be
Ooked for elsewhere than in the orbit |

THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb. 7
Receipts of cattle last week were
fair but not particularly heavy. The
demand was very good on the Den
yer market, but buyers were slightly
pearlsh owing to the fact that prices
mere have been considerably higher
than at river points for some time.
The result was a slight decline early
IN the week, but the market closed
in good shape, with prices not more
than 10c to 15c off Good fat steers
sold to packers from 81 to $3.50,
and good cows brought Sc to $3.50,
with a pretty fair grade of cows sell
ing from $3.50 to Sc. Bulls were in
good demand at $3.50 to S5.25, and
veal calves largely around $3.50 to
$40. There was a very good sprink-
ling of cattle from the range country
on the market and very good de-
mand with little change in prices.
Good steers sold from $3.50 to 81,
and extra choice lightweight steers
from 81 to $40. Palmer steers
brought Sc to $3.50 and stock cal
yes sold from 81 to sS25. The de-
mand was exceptionally strong for
stock calves and breeding stock. To-
days trade was fairly active, with
about 1900 cattle on sale and little
change in prices from the close of
last week.
The hog market has been steadily
advancing for some time and today's
trade was as high as any this year.
Best hogs are now selling around
$7.65 to $3.50, and indications point
to further advances in the near fut-
ure. The supply of hogs on the Den
yer market is quite liberal, but
everything offered here is meeting
with strong demand and prices are
fully in line with the best river mar
kets. Western hog shippers cannot
afford to send their hogs to any other
market but Denver.
The sheep trade during the past
week was very good and prices ruled
about steady on all grades. Good
fat lambs sold from $3.50 to s10.10,
good fat ewes from $6.75 to 81,
wethers around S7.75 and yearlings
of good quality up to 50. The de-
mand is good here and every thing
offered is moving to pretty good ad-
vantage. w. N. FULTON.
