MARKET is STEADY
Cattle and Hog Prices Maintained at
the Kansas City Stock Yards
Sheep and Lambs, However, Show

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. s.
Cattle receipts today were $4,000,
market steady to strong, regardless
of weakness at other points, no kill
ing choice in the early arrivals, but
some good Kansas cattle expected
late, worth around SIS. Hog receipts
were 1000, market steady to order
buyers, top S17.35, packers bidding

lambs today 5000, market weak, best
lambs unsold at noon.
Beef Cattle
Nothing better than S11.75 has been
paid up to noon, this price given for
Kansas grazed branded steers weigh
ing 1150 lbs. Lighter steers sold down
to $3.50, steady with recent advances

a week ago, and materially higher
than two weeks ago. Cows are strong
today, and 81 or more higher than
three weeks ago, best natives around

eral but buyers have a place for more
than are coming. Veals are firm, up
to S13.25.
StOckers and Feeders
Buyers were scarce last week, and
stock cattle accumulated, especially
calves and yearlings Feeders sold
readily last week, buyers in certain
sections wanting them to eat soft
corn, but stock cattle closed so cents
or more lower. The market is strong
today, on all weights of stockers and
feeders, a good many buyers here.
Stock steers sell at $3.50 to 50, feeders
$3.50 to S11.50.
Hogs
After making good gains last week
the hog market took a turn downward
Saturday, which was continued today
at Chicago, but not here on the early
market. Order buyers bought all the
good hogs at steady prices this morn
ing, best heavy hogs S1735, medium
weight S17.25, light Sl71O. Packers
came out late and paid Is to 25 low
er, but they got no good hogs, bulk
Of sales for the day S16.5O to S17.25.
Small eastern killers are proving a
powerful factor in keeping up prices
and packers have small chance to bear
prices, with the available supply of
hogs barely sufficient to supply cur
rent needs for fresh pork.
Sheep and Lambs
The market had two good days last
week, but has relapsed into its weak
and dull position. Some choice lambs
were held at SIPS here today, but
with no chance Of realizing more than
S16.25 at the outside. Native lambs
sold at $16 and some feeding lambs
brought $1G.4J. Apathy of packers
is based on ,he grounds that dressed |

1T is one thing to spot q hostile Dat-
terry and another problem altogether to
hit it. The locality may be well known,
but the range difficult to determine. TO
simplify matters in this respect,
tracer" shells are used Into the base
Of the shell a metal case is screwed
containing a material which is selfig-
hitting as the projectile rushes through
space. For night operations the ma
terial used in the tracer bursts INTO
q brilliant fame, but by day the
%tracer" leaves a trail Of dense black
smoke. BY this means the gunners are
able to watch and time the shell right
up to the moment the explosion takes
place, and by knowing the locality in
which the shell bursts, the adjustment
to the range Of the target is compara-
lively a simple matter.

Who invented the phrase the "Nel-
son touch" which is being freely used
again in connection with the North
seat battle? Admiral Iahan states
that it probably originated in Nelson's
family circle at Merton, and the first
frequent use of it occurred in the great
seaman's correspondence with Lady
Hamilton, as where, writing Just be-
fore reaching the fleet, he remarked: ::
81 am anxious to join, for it would add
to my grief if any other man was
to give them the Nelson touch, which
we say is warranted never to fail"
There was a quaint allusion to it also
