STOCK MARKETS in
SERIOUS CONDITION.
Surplus of 10000 Head Accumulated
In Kansas City Yards ~
Early in Week.
(From the Joplin Globe.)

(From the Joplin Globe.)
Cattle continue to decline, while
hogs are holding steadily at $40
top, Kansas City. Stockers fell as
low as $3.50 on the second days mark
ct Of the week, and there was hold
over of $4,000 head and $500 calves
from Tuesday, flooding the yards with
an accumulation of 10000 head.
Farmers are not buying cattle to
eat their cheap feed, and may not be
altogether to blame for this. Ex-
perience in the past has been costly,
and many feeders have remained OUT
of the market. All forecasts seem
to lose any value, because statistical
premises and cold facts have little
weight in the face Of an avalanche
of liquidation that has swept com
niodities far below pre-war values.
Tight money contributes to the
general jam in livestock business, ard
the newly. floated livestock finance
corporation will not bring relief to
those who would feed, as it is eX-
pressly and only for persons who have
to be financed to save breeding herds.
The recognition of threatened
famine in meat in the future comes
late, but may affect matters before
they are too serious to be aided.
The depreciation in prices has re-
moved any possible surplus from the
hands of the farmers, and in effect
he now has to pay 100 per cent on
his obligation, for his prices have
deprecated not far from so per cent.
For instance: A man who owes 81 900
on 1000 bushels of wheat, and who
would have invested the $1,000 surplus
receipts in cattle or hogs for feeding
had he sold his wheat at So, finds that
his entire capital is consumed in pay
ing his obligations with wheat lit
tie more than 81. This also explains
the decline in security values and the
failure of banks heavily loaned on
wheat collateral.

Phoenix will be divided into four parts Monday for State Good Roads Day when a large body of workers under four separate organizations will circulate petitions for the state high way commission bill and the constitu tional amendment to make it possible ing state roads.
 At first it was decided 10 have the entire county canvassed Friday for those who have not yet slsncd the Det!- tions, but who favor the bill. Yester day, however following a conference with the committee. County Chairman Dobbins announced that the work would start in the county Friday and end in Phoenix Monday. thus giving more time for the workers to perform what is considered an unusual task,
 Eight thousand names must be on the amendment petition and 5,500 upon the petition for the highway bill in order to get them placed before the voters next fall. Reports from over the state are favorable with the peti- tionS being signed by all who favor a comprehensive system of state road building, it was stated at headquarters of the Arizona Good Roads association yesterday.
 The plan for Phoenix on Monday is to have the Rotary club take all the city north Of Washington street and east of Central avenue. the Kiwanis club to take all north of Washington street and west of Central avenue, the Maricopa County Real Estate board to take ali south of Washington and east of Central avenue. and the Automotive Dealers association to take all south oi Washington street and west of Cen tral avenue.
 The county committee has offered a loving cup for the organization getting the largest percentage of names on the petitions.

ORIGINAL HARDING MAN RE TURNS TO HIS
 HOME IN THIS CITY

Frank R, Stewart returned yester day from q pleasure trip 10 Chicago. He returned in triumph. Mir. Stewart was the original and only Harding man in Arizona, though, no doubt when the distribution of the loaves and fishes begins. there will be others who will dispute his claim to oniiness and originality. They. too, will claim that they first seen Harding.
 But President Harding will not be- lieve them. He will be informed by Harry NJ Daughtery. his campaign manager. that he carried on corre- spondence in Arizona alone with MT. Stewart, d correspondence which had been in progress for a year and out of which grew the unswerving confi- dence that Mir. stewart felt in the re- suit of the final ballot. It will be known, too. that MT. Stewart included in his impedimenta when he left Phoenix a portrait of Senator Harding. enlarged to almost life size, to be used in the Harding parade in the Coliseum and to be exhibited from the stage. , MT. Stewart held a levee all day ! yesterday in which he did not tell how | it happened. for it did not happen. but ! how the decree of the gods Of many months ago was executed. Nothing that the gods order happens: il al-
 ways comes about. ATr Stewart is just as confident of the overwhelming cleo ! ton of Senator Harding as he was oi his nomination, but he is no more con
 fident than arc now the unbelieVine 1 Republicans who took no stock in Mir | sStewart's prognostications of MT. Har- ! ding's nomination.
