Most Spanish bullfghters object to
fighting cows. The average toreador
is sincerely afraid OF a COW. And he
has good reason. The cows OF the
half wild breed used for the arena are
much quicker in their movements than
are the bulls. Their horns are more
pointed and more formidable. They
do not lower their heads to the ground

THE WOOL MARKET

Trading has been quieter since cleo
ton, but wool men say that this is
due, not to the result, but to the world
wide shortage of wool. This view is
supported by further advances in
prices, notably of fleece and secured
wool, both foreign and domestic. Deal
ers are glad to have little breathing
time, but renewed inquiry was noted
from manufacturers in the first half
Of the current week. A furry was
noted by the announcement that ship
ments of bury merino wool would be
allowed to be made from Australia to
the United States. Buying orders
were promptly sent out by the local
trade, but right on top Of the partial
lifting of the embargo comes the
cabled report that the Sydney and
Melbourne markets have been closed
indefinitely, owing to a shortage Of
freight room to England. The con-
cession, therefore, appears to be of
doubtful value, and imports are I'M
certain as to the quantity of wool that
may be secured under its provisions.
South America markets continue ex-
ceedingly strong, both Montevideo
and Buenos Aires having advanced
still further. Stocks of domestic wool
are being rapidly depleted, and pre-
dictions are heard that stocks to be
carried over into the new year will be
the smallest in years.
Manufacturers complain that goods
buyers are baking at paying the
higher prices necessarily demanded
for all fabrics, but this condition is
regarded as simply temporary, as no
supplies are possible from elsewhere.
Buying by manufacturers is going
forward steadily, though much of the
wool recently bought still remains on
storage here.

The carrying Of the bond issue for

for st. Johns and should also be to
Apache county-though some think
that it will not be-but to those who
are in for improvement it is undoubt-
eddy the best thing that has ever hap
pened to us. Many thought that the
Road Bond Issue was going to be the
worse calamity that was ever put on
to people, but it proved to be a
blessing and it has also been the
means of putting Apache county on
the map, for there are no better roads,
taken as whole, than those owned
and kept up by our county. Let us
hope that the bonds just issued for
the purpose Of building a new court
house for our county will also prove
Of lasting benefit and blessing long
to be remembered by the generations
that will follow. Now that the bonds
have carried let us build house that
will be monument worthy Of note

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. 20,
1916.-Another big week in cattle re-
ceipts opened today with 26,OGONhead,
market mostly steady, weak on me-
dunn and low grain stockers, pretty
active on all kinds, in spite of excess
sive supplies at Chicago and st.
Louis, with lower reports from those
points. Hogs sold to 10 lower ear
ly, packers demanding a greater de-
cline late sales compromise, sheep
and lambs steady.
Beef Cattle
White face steers raised and fed
in Southwest Missouri set new high
record price here today at $11.75,
1856 lbs. average. Other good steers
sold around $11, short fed steers SO
to $1,000. Summer grazed cattle fed
thirty or sixty days are bringing
$3.50 to $3.50, an agreeable surprise
to owners in most cases. Western
grass steers sell at So or better, and
plain little steers weighing around
900 lbs. bring $6.75 to $7.25. Cows
advanced 25 cents last week, best
cows up to So, odd head of Colorado
grass cows at that price, fair to good
cows $6.15 to SIPS, Gamers $3.50 to
$500. Gamers are selling a good so
cents higher here than at Chicago.
Veals are higher, up to Sill.
Stockers and Feeders
Good kinds are selling about like
Monday of last week. Ten cars of
choice Panhandle stock calves, 400
lbs, sold at $S, and forty or fifty cars
of well bred Panhandle yearlings sold
at SIPS to $7.35, with 1919 of the
total weight at Sc. Plain stock steers
sell at $6.25 to $6.75, common thin
steers under Sc. Five cars of Kansas
feeders sold at $3.50, 1850 lbs, and
6 cars of steers little feshier, but
ordinarily classed as feeders, sold at
$3.50 to killers. A few fleshy feeders
are going out up to $s.S5, plain thin
feeders down to $3.50.
Hogs
Order buyers bought their hogs 5
to 10 lower, paying $685. for heavy
hogs, $3.50 for medium, 1910 for
lights. Packers stood out for prices
rs lower, but bought hogs after the
noon hour Is to 20 lower, bulk of sales
$3.50 to 1915 receipts were 10000.
Quality has improved good deal over
two or three weeks ago. Demand has
been extra strong at Kansas City, top
here Friday same as top in Chicago
and st. Louis, and bulk of sales above
those markets, and action of packers
today was an effort to establish a
margin under those markets. They
had poor success in doing it, top here
only 10 cents under extreme top in
Chicago today.
Sheep and Lambs
Receipts were only 1000, and prices
were firm, top lambs $11.75, ewes
$3.50. AS in the big hog market local
prices are leading all the other mar
kets, the result of light supplies here
and good demand, lambs Friday at
$1I.s5, top at Chicago same day Sill
go, Omaha and st. Joseph same day
$11.50. Short fed lambs are making
good money for feeders. Feeding
lambs are 25 to so cents higher, at
$9.75 to $10.25.
