STOCK MARKET LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards, Jaur 1,
tolfcTtyly- a dow. cafle w«n -ship-
ped hi last Week, .the 'Christina*' holi-
day and etorma early In the week cut
ting Into week's tradev sharply. While
there was no urgent duland, prices
advanced about 25 cerits\iurlTig the
week. It also became evident during
the week that the price range on
steers is closing up- Dealers say sal-
es above eight dollars will be rare
for awhile, and fewer cattle are sell-
ing under six dollars than a few
week* ago. She stuff and .butcher
grades made a sharp advance the last
days of last week. The storm yester-
day and,Saturday again cut down the
supply today, though 6500 cattle ar-
rived in spite of disabilities of rail-
roads. The market today was strong
to 15 higher. One drove of steers
brought at nine dollars for delivery
today today went over the scales at
that figure, but the next highest sale
was af 17.90. The contract cattle
were brought by Weber, the Kansas
City butcher, and Armour will slaugl t
er them for him. Yard traders sold
out clean last week, only 1200 cattle
remaining In the yards over Sunday,
and they were keen buyer* of stock-
ers and feeder* this morning. Feed-
ers sell at 15.00 to $«.00, stackers 4."
00 to |57.5. Calves are 25 to 50 cents
higher than a week ago, best 17.50
Only a handful of quarantine cattle
came In today, three cars from Ar-
kansas, highly mixed, and common
quality. Meal fed steers are worth
$5.40 to 16.20, on the basis of last
week* sales. A healthy cattle trade
is expected this month, In all class-
es, and moderate receipts is the pop-
ular prediction.
Hogs received some hard knocks
last week, the buyers ending the
Week decidedly hte victors. The trade
doe* not incline that way, and the
tendency of price* during January
1* likely to be upward. It depends
somewhat on the demand for pork
product from abroad, and a promis-
ing start ia this respect was made
today, when Swift shipped 21 car
of lard to Europe, routed via
Galveston, The run here today is
4500 head, market 10 higher, top. |6.-
20, bulk $5.<0 to 96.15.

The newspapers at Tonkowa, Tah

towns should also enllat In this great
fight for the common people-
President Bayes started the' wheels
going at chapel on Tuesday morning
with a fine talk on the "Signs of
the times." He discussed universal
peace, the treaty among France, Eng-
land and the United States, and the
three most horrible wars now going
on in the Old World—the murdering
of Innocent women aivnd children. In
clos'lng he suggested that we do all
the good we can, treat everybody at
kindly v*. <* , an* talk pease. - -
From now on much space- will he

his announcements on Tuesday In re-
gard to the teams and the games
to be played. There will be ten
games with outside teams—five a-
way and five at home. Aside from
these there will be many inter-class
games. The following teams will be
organized. Freshmen, sophomores, jun
ions, seniors, commercials, faculty,
and possibly a team composed bf bal
headed men. The season will close
with a championship game between
the Websters and the Hayroee.
A Commercial arithmetic class and
a Commercial law class will he or-
ganized in the near future, provided
there are enough that want to en-
roll. z
A new Shorthand class was organ-
ized this week and a large enroll-

From our point of view, the ex-

and the insignificant Oliver H.
