SWEDES SACRIFICE THEIR CATTLE

Pehr Norberg, of the Swedish Tele- graph Agency, who has just arrived in the United States says: "Milk is very scarce in Sweden and it will be still scarcer owing to the slaughter of cattle because of the lack of fodder, AS a result of the shutting off of our supply of fodder from America, we are killing 25 per cent of our cattle The slaughter is going on so rapidly that I doubt if the entire supply of meat thus made available will be saved"
 A we'll known American breeder says: The warning and neutral na- tions of Europe have made alarming inroads on their supplies of breed ing stock. It is alleged that one hun dred million head of breeding animals had been slaughtered in Europe as a direct result of the war. Every clear thinking American stockman knows what this means-America must make up this loss.
 Europe once the war ends, will spe. cialize in grain crops as they can be produced in a single season. Live stock breeding, and particularly cat tie, however, is a different matter It will take several years at best to recoup the war losses in Europe.
 The American farmer who is SC short-sighted as to cash in his grair instead of conserving it for his breed. ing operations in live stock will find that at the end of the war he will be a grain grower competing with grair growing Europe, while his neighbor who held to his herds and increased them will be the wise man able tc sell his product with less competition from Europe.

FIRST WOOL FIGURES.
Quarterly Reports on Holdings of For eign and Domestic Stocks
 Inaugurated.

For the first time in this or any other country survey has been made of the wool stocks on hand, and the figures representing the holdings June 30, 1917, were made public by the Bu- reau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture on August 1. According to this summary there are 27O,OO0,000 pounds of grease wool in the hands of dealers and manufac- turers who reported, 47,000, ,000 pounds of secured wool, 29,000,000 pounds Of pulled wool, 29,O00,OOO pounds of top, and 18,OOO,0O0 pounds of noil. About 56 per cent of the grease wool, 62 per cent of the secured wool, and 45 per cent of the pulled wool was re- ported by manufacturers, and the re- mainder by dealers.
 | An effort was made to obtain in- formation from all dealers and man. ufacturers in the United States who had wool, tops, and noils on hand June 30, 1917. Approximately 2,200 blank forms were sent out and only 54 firms failed to return these schedules About half of the total number, ol 1,13S, indicated that no stocks were held. Many of the latter reports, how. ever, were from enterprises, which though listed in wool-trade directories do not carry stocks of wool, and oth. CTS whose stocks were included in re. ports received from central offices. 1 Six grades are reported, ranging from fine combing and clothing wools down to carpet wools, all the latter being of foreign origin. Even with. out these carpet wools, the stock c1 domestic wools now held is less thar the foreign.
 Since these are the first figures oi this sort, the department says it does

not feel justified in making any stat ment as to the relative size of the supply on hand. It is assumed, how ever, that the war is making unusual demands on the wool supply. Com parisons can be instituted when future reports are issued. The next survey will be made September 30, 1917. Each succeeding one will give com- parison as to all classes and grades of wool, tops, and noils, both foreign and domestic, held by dealers and manufacturers.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, August 27th, 1917.
 Cattle received today 10000 head, market strong to 20 higher, top steers $15.00, new high record. Hogs today 5000, market steady with last Friday, top $1S.SO, 30 cents above top reported from Chicago. Sheep and lambs today 5000, market steady, lambs to killers, $16.50.
 BEEF CATTLE.
 Choice natives sold steady, top $15.00, weighty grass cattle 10 to 20 higher with a good demand for fleshy feeders, who outbid packers on sev- eral lots and got them at $12.S5 to $13.25, packers paying up to $13.20 for others. Light weight grass cattle sold 15 to 25 higher, medium weight Kansas and Oklahoma steers at $9.00 to S10.50, light Oklahoma steers at $6.75 to $8.75, some at the latter price considered 20 higher. Cows and heifers remained dull till the close last week, but are selling better to- day, at $6.50 to $1O.00 for COWS, choice fed heifers quotable up to $13.00, veal calves $12.50. Kansas and Okla homa owners are holding cattle back, as grass is as good now as it ordina- rily is in May.
 STOCKERS AND FEEDERS.
 Buyers were in larger attendance last week, and cleared up the yards close. Good fall pastures are stimu- lating trade in stock cattle, and good corn prospects are inducing the pur- chase of feeding steers. Stock steers sell mainly at SIPS to $8.5O, feeding steers $500 to 5000, fleshy feeders upwards to $12.25 today, stock cows and heifers s6.25 to $500.
 HOGS.
 The top price today, $17.80, was paid for hogs weighing 240 lbs, oth- CT medium weight hogs at $17.75, and choice heavy hogs worth as much, though none were here today. Best lights sold at $17.25, and bulk of sales was at $l6.50 to $17.50. Re ceipts are so light that very little at- tention is paid to outside markets, top here recently frequently. being a quar- ter above top in Chicago, including today, and far above other river mar. kets. The hog market is in an un. certain position, and buyers at ship ping points are having to do some tall guessing to come out even. However most of the foam was removed last week, and more stable markets art looked for this week, with strength dominating the situation. '. SHEEP AND LAMBS.
 Prices were unchanged today, Ari zona lambs to killers at $16.40, witl the eve lambs sorted out to co4n try buyer at $16.75, Colorado lamb! to killers at $16.50, medium class ma tive spring lambs s15.85 to $16.75 Breeding ewes sell at s12.00 to $15. %, with choice yearlings and twos recently up to s16.00. Old fat eve: sell at $S.5O to 5000, old feeding ewes $6.50 to $S.50.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the re-
suit. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh which
is an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of thet system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

QUICKSILVER IS
WAY UP IN Price

Owing to tho advancing price OF
quicksilver which has recently risen
from $50 to 1855 for a flask of I!
pounds in the past month, interest is
attached to the announcement that the
L. S. Mines Development Corporation,
which owns the Socrates quicksilver
mine, is placing its second allotment
of 100000 shares at 81, par. In Ho
nolulu this is beng done through Gill.
son D. Bell, who is at present here.
Further interest attaches to the an,
nouncement that the furnace Of the
corporation has been completed and
is now in process Of drying out and
that in less than 80 days the produc'
ton of quicksilver will be under way.
The capacity of tie Socrates plant
will be between 500 and 1000 TASKS a
month and late adviccs are that the
price of this metal will be from $3.50
to $500 a flask for the rest Of the
year. The prospects are therefore
considered very bright for the stock
holders of the corporation.
