Topeka, Kan, Dec. 23
The continued favorable weather and in
creased production has resulted in the
long looked for decline in eggs Another
influence tending to lower the fresh egg

age eggs, which must be marketed in the
next few weeks. The egg market in the
East is in a demOralized condition To-
peka markets show a decline of from DC
to &c per dozen. Only unfavorable condi-
tio1s and declined production can save
continued drop in price
the present.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY LIVESTOCK
REPORT.

Kansas City, Dec. 23.-Altho there was a
seasonable decrease in receipts the local
cattle market was very irregular in the
week just closed, says the Weekly Review
issued here today by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The supply total
led A. 600 exclusive of $500 calves, compared
with 56,OS2 the previous week and %, 5,6S6
year ago.
Heifers were hard to move all week, ae-
cording to the report and some sellers quot
ed weakness, but virtually all other killing
classes ruled strong to higher, short fed
steers gaining most. few head of year
lings reached $11, but no lead lots of
steers of any weight or age passed $3.50
and the average quality was SO plafHNthat
the bulk sold within a range of $15 to
SIS 60. Better grades of cows sold at $3.50
to $G.25 with others at $3.75 to $500 Best
vealers sold readily at $500 to 50 so. There
was a liberal demand for stockers and
feeders at prices that were the highest in
several weeks. Better grades went at $3.50
and higher, the bulk of common kinds
selling 1T $3.50 to $7.25.
Hog receipts fell down to 81, 600 against
90,S61 the preceding week and 3S,090
year ago. Light lights remained about
steady, altho heavier hogs showed salts
making $500 against IS a week earlier
Bearish reports on the eastern dressed
lamb ANA mutton market caused local
price for fat sheep and lambs to weaken
altho the run fell down to p GOO, compaT-
ing with 27,275 a week earlier, and 30.219
year ago. Bulk meter grade lambs sold
at $1410 to $14 40. Some shorn lambs
reached $12.65. Feeding lambs sold down

Chicago. Dec. 2s.--wHEAT-The grain
trade was mainly of holiday character
here today. A private report from the
United Kingdom took a bullish view of
the situation there and said a good de-
mand was in sight for North american
wheat for December-January shipments.
This, however, had little effect on the
market at the start here.
The trade was without a guide. The
opening, which varied from unchanged fig
ures to 35c lower, with May $1.24115 to
S1.24ss and July S113A to SL13ss, was
around
The close was dull with values showing
net loss of 1sc to 114c with May S1-24A
to 81 243s, and July, $1131s to %1.13A.
CORN-PrOspects for large receipts
Tuesday had some effect on the corn mar
ket today. After opening unchanged to sc
down with May 723se to 72Hc, the corn
market underwent further setback
The close weak at losses varyfn 2
from n shade to Sc with May II &c to 72c.
OATS-Oats started unchanged to &c off
with May A5Slc to 1870 and after declining
a little underwent a slight reaction.
VISIONS-Provisions were firfner
in line with higher quotations on hogs.

Announcement of a decrease of more than
6,0OO,0OO bushels in the amount of wheat en-
ocean passage, together with assertions that
stocks of breadstuffs in Europe were
nearly hand to mouth basis, had much to
do with assumptions that export business
would be likely to enlarge before long. Sub
zero temperatures aud lack of sufficient
snow protection for the domestic winter
crop tended further to lift prices, and were
but little offset by government figures i'm
plying that the probable yield would be
1o.OO0OOO bushels in excess OF a correspond
ing estimate twelve months back. 1t was
contended by some authorities that the
most weighty part of government report
was the fact shown that except in two
cases the present estimate of the winter
crop is the lowest on record. However,
bullish sentiment was a good deal modified
by virtual stoppage of talk about a loan to
Germany and by slownesss of steps toward
enactment of farm credit and foreign credit
bills at Washington. Holiday conditions
acted as further restraint on buyers as

Monday Last Day To
Buy Season Tickets

After next Monday evening at SD
at the Cambridge Armory when that
great Shakesperian play The Mer-
chant of Venice" will be presented by
Pierre Pelletier and his EliZabethan
Players, it will not be possible TO buy
Season Tickets for the seven great at
fractions this winter for the small
price of SO and tax for adults and
$3.50 and tax for children under
twelve years of age. The program
is without question the finest and
most evenly balanced ever prepared
for this city and community and
should receive the support OF every
citizen and parent who want the fiji
est entertainments that can be pro
produced brought here for the in
struction as well as the entertain
ment of our people. 9 number OF
local business men put on such
program here last year and closed the
season with quite a large deficit. This
season it is hoped such will not be
the case, for it cannot be expected of
a few people to buy their own tic
kets and give literally of their time,
and money to put over such pro-
gram each season and pay the bills.
Nothing is too good for Cambridge
and we should have the best and this
seems to be the surest way of getting
the best-but such a program should
have the support of all who desire at
fractions.
