MARKET LETTER.
Special to the Journal.
Kansas City Stock Yards, June 14,
The advance on fed steers early
last week was lost by the close of the
week, and grass cattle declined 10 to
20 cents for the week. The supply
was several thousand head less than
previous week, but there was some
hitch in the consumptive demand,
and killers accordingly cut down their
orders a little as the week progressed
A year ago at this time the Kansas
City market was out of commission
account of the Kaw River Hood, but
this year there is no danger of a
fiood. The Kaw River is twelve feet
below the Hood stage, and soil and
weather conditions over the Kaw
watershed make it practically im-
possible for ssfficient high water to
develope in the River here to do any
damage. The cattle run today is
10.000 head, market steady to strong
on light steers and she stuiT, weak on
heavy steers, calves a quarter lower.
Some 1130 lb steers sold at $7 00 today
the top, and fed Colorado steers soid
at 6.50. Beef steers in the native di-
vision range from 5 00 to 7.00, embrac-
ing all stages of finish, with buyers
shying a little at cattle showing pro-
nounced grass signs, cows at 2.75 to
5.50, heifers up to 6.50, bulls 3 00 to
5 00, calves 4 00 to 7.00, Stockers and
feeders lost 10 to 15 cents last week,
and trade was dull, account of ab-
sence of country buyers, but demand
is betrer today, stockers at 3 75 to 5.25
feeders scarce, at 4.75 to 5.50. Medi-
um to fair stockers are available
around 4.40.
The hog market continued its up-
ward tendency last week, except for
a small decline on Saturday. The
supply is running light at all the mar-
kets for June, and the run of 8000
head here today is only about three-
fourths as large as predicted by deal-
ers Saturday. Prices are sharply
higher today, 10 to 15 cents up for
bulk of sales, light hogs sometimes 20
cents higher. Heavy hogs are selling
at 7.60 to 7 70, medium weights 7.45
to 7.70, light hogs 7.20 to 7 .55, pigs
6.00 to 7.00. Packer buyers have
surrendered to the bull side of the
market, and are willing to predict
still higher prices for hog*.

STOCK PROOF GATES
%«\>i/•«.
STMFW
Hog Tight, Sheep Tight, Chicken Tight
Iowa gates can be hung close to the ground but will never drag
because the outer end is adjustable. Hog tight mesh and stretchers on
every wire. Gate fastened at both the top and bottom, plain strong
hinges, no wearing parts.
The Roller Steel Tubing used in the frame instead of gas pipe*
makes them proof against any stock.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” Why not use Iowa
gates to match your good fences? You will find them strong but easy
to handle—convenient in summer and winter—will swing up hill as
you wish.
When you have time drop around and look over the sample gate
hung up at S. B. Fling’s store.

OUR PIANO CONTEST
CLOSES JULY 2ND
—We had a letter from C. T. Brown
at Creston, Iowa, on Wednesday.
He says it is awful wet there and
lots of ground yet to plow for corn.
The.mud is fearful to pull through,
and the farmers have been unable to
do anythiny for two weeks. Oats
looks poor, while hay is good. He
also says there are but few hogs in
that part of the country, the far-
mers having kept only a few brood
sows for spring farrowing, and the
weather got away with all the little
pigs. Charley says he don’t get the
Journal until the middle of the next
week after it is printed, and wonders
why. It is always leaves here on
Fridays, so the trouble is evidently
with mail service up that way. Mrs.
Brown is getting along nicely, but
Charley said nothing about coming
home.
—Mrs. Jas Clary says she is getting
tired of the boarding house business
and has called it off

LOOK WELL DRESSED ALL
THE TIME
Look at any well dressed man and you will
see that it’s the Fit and the Good Shape of his
clothes that gives them style and makes him
stand out in a group of men.
All tailors realize that they must put enough
style into their clothes to make them pass muster
while they are new.
But where is the tailor who can make clothes
that will keep that good shape and style?
You know that most clothes soon wrinkle and
bag and sag. Damp weather makes the trouble,
because most clothes shrink a trifle on your back;
not much, but just enough to ruin the style.
We sell Royal Tailoring. And the Royal
Tailors of Chicago and New' York nse a shrinking
process that takes out every particle out of the
cloth before it is tailored. Come on and see our
500 patterns.
