The cattle supply last week was
of about the maine volumne as in
recent weeks, 33,000 head, but
the run was unevenly divided,
bulk of supply arriving first days
of the week. The market ad
vunced 20 to 40 cents during the
week, and stands 40 to 70 cents
above two weeks ago, when the
rise first began. The run to-
day is 12000 head, market opened
steady on killing cattle and dos-
ed strong, lats sales a little high-
er than sales made on the first
round of buyers. The impres-
sion prevails in selling quarters
that since the market has been
lifted eut of the control of the
beacish killing interests, it will
remain on a relatively high level
for some weeks ahead. Strong
weight and well finished steers
have received the most benefit
from the late rise in prices, and
there is a long string of sales to
cay at $6.35 and $6.85, the lattgi
the top, and bulk of steers sell
above $6. Practically no cows
worthy of the name sell below
$3., best heavy cows $5.35, heif-
ers $3.75 to $6.20, bulls $3.20 to
$1.80, calves $4. to $7.50. Stock
ers and feeders made a moder-
ate gain last week, and are up 10
to 12 cents today, signs of spring
good fat cattle market, and emp-
ty feed lots being strong incen-
tives to investors in this class of
cattle. Stockers sell at $3.75 to
$5.25, feeders $4.75 to $5.40 good
stock heifers $3.25 to $4.00.
The hog run last week was 74-
000 head here, a slight loss from
s ime week a year ago, but a big
increase over previous week.
The market made a net gain of
10 cents per cwt., although clos
ing prices Saturday were 10
cents below the best time of tl.e
week on Wednesday. Run is 12-
GOO head here today, market 10
to 15 higher, and the top today
$6.60, is 5 cents above best price
last week, and highest of the
year. Heavy hogs were more in
favor last week, and sell today at
$6.55 to $6.70, medium weights
$6.40 to $6.55, lights $6.10to $6.50
pigs $5. to $5.75.

malicious lying, contemptable
insinuations, etc., he is perfect.
An intimation derogatory to an
antagonist was all that he need-
ed, from which to manufacture
us malicious a falsehood as any
mind could conceive. In his
time he may have done some
good, lie may have had some re-
spect for a fellowman who dared
to differ with his own exulted
ideas, hut if he did lie was al-
ways io “bull-headed” to let it
be known. Politically, he was
as treacherous to his own party
if things didn’t go to suit him,
as he was to the opposition. His
political belief could only be de-
termined by the appointments
lie has held, and now that he has
lost his last coinmision, the devil
only knows what political party
he will uftiiliate with.
But now that he is about to
land from a fifteen year voyage
on the journalistic sea, in which
he encountered many shoals,
breakers, waves of public indig-
nation, a few rocks of adversity

lie now turns in his chart and
log.book, by which, we dare
say, no other man will try to sail
the same course.
In the roll of a private citizen
we bid him god speed and wish
well.
