What the Trade Says.
Writing regarding the market. Ben
son Commission company says:
The ~un of cattle on Mondays mar
ket was higher than for some time
SOC head being offered. but none of
first class quality. Some very good
steers sold at 50 and s9.25, with a
few head of better grades at $3.50,
but half fat stuff, both steers and
cows, sold as low as IS and 81, with
common kinds from $3.50 to Sc for
cows and $5.50@7 for steers. The
bulk OF this stuff was dairy breeds and
not fat. Bulls brought from Sc To
$3.50: veal. 81 to $3.50, according TO
quality. California cattle are still
coming. but the run has materially
lessened during the past 10 days, and
what are coming are not first class,
What we need now is good. thick. fat
steers. but they seem to he very
scarce.
with about 927 hogs on the market
Monday prices declined fully 25c over
the same time last week. the top be-
ing Sla.25. with the bulk of the sales
around SIS to S15.15. The buyers did
not appear anxious to take ON sup
plies which resulted in the market be-
ing very draEgy. Pigs were cut
hardest, the bulk selling around Sl2,
which is over 81 per cwt. less than
last week. The packers are endeav-
oring to encourage the producers to
finish their pigs. and are taking this
method to keep them from market.
The sheep division was quite active
with about 1900 head offered for
sale. Best spring lambs sold for
&l3.75: shorn yearling wethers
s11.5O: shorn ewes, SO TO $3.50. We
expect to see lambs continue to sell
around the present price, but un-
doubtedly there will he decline in

AMERICAN FEDERATION
 OF CATHOLIC SOCIETIES
To Meet in Kansas City Aug. 26-2e
 Most Important in It's History.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 7.-Monsignor John Bonzano, apostolic delegate to the United States. seven or more ard(i- bishops, thirtp bishops mad several thousand priests and laymen, it is eX- pected. will attend the sixteenth an- nual convention of the American Fed eration of Catholic societies which will be held here Aug. 26-29.
 This years convention, 1t is declared, will be one of the most important in the history of the organization, as 1t is expected that action will be taken upon the. so-caEed diocesan plan" under which it is proposed to affiliate all Catholic bodies in the country with the American Federation. There are no GioceseS in the country and if the plan is put into effect the federation off To cials say it's membership will be in- creased from 3.000,00 to about 1s,- 900, 900.
 The plan was proposed at the con- ventiOn last year, and it was decided to take action al this years meeting. The movement was indorsed at a con- ference of the American archbishops in Washington some time ago. The American Federation is the largest Catholic body in the country, and a number of large organizations already are affiliated with it. The diocesan plan would bring all of the smaller so- cieties into utilization.
