Kansas City Stock Market.
Special to th Cliiettain.
Kansas City Mo. Monday Aug. 7.
Quarantine receipts last week were
450 cars quite an increase over the
previous week. Market closed the
week 10 to 20 cents higher on all kinds.
All the packers are now in the field
for canners and" this class advanced
along with the others last week. The
supply today is liberal at 5000 head in
the quarantine division: market steady
to 10c. lower but active and every-
thing selling readily. Two droves of
steers around 1100 lbs. sold at $3.90
today; the bulk of the steers $3.35 to
$3.70; light steers $2.50 to $310; cows
$2.35 to $2.70; canners $1.75 to $2.20;
veals $5.25 to $5.75. One bunch of
cows sold last week at $3 15 and a few
veals tip to $0. More stocker and feeder
buyers were in the native division last
v ek looking for stuff than any time
this season and there was not enough
to go around. The good corn crop is
doing it and the strong demand from
the country will hold the packers well
in line which i f course will help the
situation in the quarantine division.
Hog markets are tending upward
but with a good many setbacks as
packers are makinga hard tight against
all advances. Recipts are very light
at all points but the quality remains
good and farmers generally are hold-
ing back their piggy sows on which
the forecasters are basing predictions
of heavy fall and winter receipts. The
market was about steady today. Re-
ceipts 5000 head; top $5.97$; bulk of
sales $5.85 to $5 95 heavy lard hogs
arousing least competition.
Sheep and iambs advanced 30 to 50c.
last week and the market was active
and snappy all the time. Feeders
strong all week bur not much gain in
the price. Supply today 2000 head:
market higher in spire of bad reports
from the East. Tim market is in good
condition and packers have small
stocks on hand. Lambs bring $0 to
$0.50; wethers and jeulings $4.50 to
$5; ewes $4.15 to $4.40: tock and feed-
ing sheep $3.00 to $4.25.

ANOTHER TUNNEL PROJECT
There Is Plan Afoot to Connect Prince
Edward Island with the
Mainland.
One of the most important and in-
teresting of engineering problems in
these days of tunnels is that of con-
nection between Prince Edward Is-
land and the mainland of Canada.
This island lying as it does in the
lower Gulf of St. Lawrence is a ver-
itable garden in summer but it is
so isolated in winter as to prove a
great discouragement to its popula-
tion of about 100000 thrifty and en
terprising people says the Americai
Syren and Shipping.'
It is an independent province o;
Canada with its own local legisla-
ture lieutenant governor and all the
legal machinery of any other province
but for three or four months in the
year is so cut off from communica-
tion as to make transit difficult and
dmgerous. The past winter has been
so severe that for a month at a time
the island was without mails.
The trouble is with the ice. The
gulf does not freeze up solidly as
does the St. Lawrence river but the
swift tides and currents coming from
the straits of Belie Isle the Cabot
straits (between Cape Breton and
Newfoundland) and the strait of
Canso swirl through the Northumber-
land straits which separates Prince
Edward Island from the mainland and
carry with them fields and bergs of
ice that are often impenetrable by
the most powerful steamers.
It is stated that the distance at the
narrowest point of the shores across
the strait is about Cv nautical miles
and with approaches the tunnel would
be in all about 8 miles. The island
is now contributing about $1400000
to the revenue of Canada per year
and contributes to all the great works
of Canada without complaint.
The province is an old one capable
of prosperity and could support 300-
000 people easily. It has valuable fish-
eries as well as agriculture. One sur-
vey made some years ago by Sir Doug-
las Fox for a tunnel estimated the
cost at less than f 1.000000 per mile
but other surveyors have pronounced
the bottom of the strait a mass of
granite bowlders polished cleanly t
the ice to such a d'-gree as to sparkle
in a summer sun henrath the particu
larly ciear water while between these
masses of jrranite are clefts f vast
depth across which a tunnel would be
impracticable. Further surveys will
however doubtless rood be made.
A Phys clan Healed.
Dr. Geo. Ewing a practicing phy-
sician of Smith's Grove Ivy.' for over
thirty years writes his personal ex-
perience with Foieys Kidney Cure:
"For years I had been greatly bother-
ed with kidney and bladder trouble
and enlarged prostrate gland. I used
every thing known to the profession
without relief until I commenced to
use Foley's Kidney Cure. After tak-
ing three bottles I was entirely reliev-
ed and cured. I prescribe it now daily
in my practice and heartily recommend
its use to all physicians for such
troubles. I have prescribed it in
hundreds of cases with perfect success
