Washington, March 4.-The 65th,
or great war congress, passed into
history today with final taps of the
gayel by Vice President Marshal and
Speaker Clark at noon. Failure of
scores of important bills gave prom

Der 6, 1917, lasting 1SS days. The
second session-lasting 354 days
and the longest in the history of the

trend in prices. Hogs sold into Z

day, top $21.10, and then broke sc
to so cents. Cattle prices were
strong on Monday, but sagged sharp
ly Tuesday, and did not show any
rally later in the week. Sheep held
about steady and spring lambs anc
brush goats advanced rs cents.
The Weeks Receipts
Arrivals this week were 33,52s
cattle, $500 calves, 76,45O hogs, 49,
800 sheep, a decrease of 1000 cat
tie, and 5000 sheep and an increase
|of 700 calves, and 1000 hogs com
pared with last week. Compared
with year ago hogs receipts were
10000 larger and other receipts were
about the same. Far Western states
contributed literally to cattle and
sheep supplies.
Beef Cattle
Liberal receipts of cattle Tuesday
1880 here and 21,00 in Chicago,
turned prices for beef steers down
rather sharply. The decline was 25
to 40 cents, and no strength develop
ed late in the week. Demand for
beef seems to have narrowed con-
siderably, and demand shows ne ex-
panding tendency, as prices for fat
cattle necede. Some of the best cat
tie of the season were offered, and
top prices for the week were higher
than last week. Colorado steers
weighing 1,547 sold at $3.50, Ne
brask steers up to $17.15 and Kan
sas steers up to $17.35. The bulk
of steers that went to killers brought
$3.50 to $3.50. Far Western cat
tie sold up to $14.5O, and South Texas
quarantine division, up to $14.OO.
Butcher cattle were Is to 25 cents
lower, calves up 25 to SO cents and
bulls steady.
St0ckers and Feeders
Early in the week thin cattle re-
mained firm but are closing lower.
This is due largely to the advanced
season and the fill in cattle. Feed
ers are quoted at S11.50 to $15.75,
stockers 5000 to $3.50, and stock
cows and heifers $3.50 to $1,000
Hogs

his condemnation of the Espionage
Act and prosecutions under it. 1t vas
framed at a time when the nation was
engaged in a death-grapple with the
murderous Hun and his allies; when
the country was infested with Ger

sneaking, brutal, cowardly crimes
against citizens and their wanton de-
struction of property. The cireum-
stances demanded stern, vigorous
action. All who were not with us
were against us, and the man who
sought to impede the enlistment and
marshalling of our forces was as fully
a traitor as he who tried to accomplish
his purpose by the blowing up Of
"plants" and the murder of the EN-
