Courtday Here is the
Largest This Season

There was the largest run of cat
tie on the market Monday that has
attended any court during the 1920
season, fully ten thousand head
ALI the pens were filled and many
filled the second time. About half
Of the cattle sold at uniform prices,
at about a dollar per hundred
cheaper than last court. Very best
steers did not reach 10 cents, but
some sold at 9 "a cents. 500 to 800
pound feeders sold at 8 cents; the
smaller steers at from 6 to cents.
Fat heifers sold at 8 cents, fat cows
at 7 to 1-2 cents, stock cows from
6 to cents and Gamers 2 1-2 to
3 1-2 cents.
Two fine 1900 pound red Short
horn cows, with bull calves at foot
weighing $50 pounds each, sold for
s "a cents. They were good enough
for high class Shorthorn herd, and
I hope they were kept for breeders.
The cattle were in fine shape and
with the customary shrewdness of
the mountain trader they elected to
sell by weight, so we were enabled
to get plenty of sale prices. Had
the cattle been thin they would have
been sold by the. head. This demon
strates the good hard common sense
of the mountain man. Though the
cattle were sold in the blue grass we
recognize merit in men or stock and
appreciate the good judgment of
these traders. Below you will find
a record of sales:
James Knaper sold fat heifer, 800
pounds, at 81-2 cents.

pounds, at 6 cents. Same. 9 half

EXCHANGE HITS T0B0GGAN;U UPSET
 IN TRADE LIKELY
Foreign Money Drops in Val ue-London Urges Cessa-
 ton of Importing Goods

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The market for continental exchange became fever ish ten minutes after the Board of trade opened it's doors this morning.
 Belgian, French and Italian ex- change dropped overnight The New York exchange opened at s3.22 cents for the pound sterling; $3.19 was the closing quotation yesterday.
 Officials are encouraging exports to America to steady the exchange con ditions. Importation of luxuries from, America should be stopped while the exchange is at low figure, 1t is urged.
 Yesterdays collapse of exchange, off from normal from 6S to IT per cent, was the most disastrous in the history of the foreign exchange mar ket at New York. <
 A dispatch from Liverpool says that depreciation of exchange has virtually stopped the importation of goods, and this, with high prices, is handicapping the financing of manufacture and trade. It is urged by the Board of Trade that the ex. change differences be relieved.

Won Lersner Threw Miller and's Note Back at Him,
 Paris Reports NEW NOTE FROM BERLIN Future of Teutonic Empire Hangs on Extradition
 Demand" x

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Relations between the Allied governments and Germany seem to have arrived at a crisis over the Allied threat to ex- tradite Germany's war leaders and try them for crimes against human ity.
 Associated Press correspondents in European capitals telegraph that the situation, which appears ex- tremely grave, is the absorbing topic everywhere in Europe.
 Germany's smouldering resent ment against the Peace Commission It Versailles broke into flame when Baron von Lersner refused to for ward to his government the names of German leaders wanted by the Allies for trial.
 Paris has learned that Gustav Noske, German Minister of National Defense has announced it would be impossible to secure the men named in the list. Noske said fur ther, it is reported, that the Allied demand was revenge worse than fShylock's,' ; 7ess
 Berlin newspapers containing ac- counts of von Lersner's stormy in terview with M. Millerand, the French Premier, at Paris, state that the German peace emissary. threw the extradition. note back at Miller and after the latter had handed it to him. The Lokal Anzeiger and the Tages Zeitung editorially say that Germany's very existence depends upon the outcome of the Allied de- mands for extradition of high Ger man officials and army officers dur ing the period of hostilities.
 London reports that the German Cabinet will send the Allies a new note, in which the Ebert govern ment will state the fatal conse- quences which would probably fol- low the extradition." The advices also report the German ministers as being unanimous in declaring the extradition would be physi- cal impossibility.
 Noske is quoted as saying that a railroad train bearing the extradit- ed men would never be permitted to leave Germany even if he should arrest the men sought by the AL lies.
