STOCK MARKETS IN TWO CITIES

STOCKERS AND MEDIUM CATTLE SHOW WEAK MARKET AT KANSAS CITY AND IN

DIANAPOLIS—GOOD KILLING KIND STRONG.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 20, 1914.—There has been an absence of spirit in the stocker and feeder trade recently that is hard to explain. Fat cattle are selling in a satisfactory manner, and stock cattle are changing hands on the ranges at record prices, sales of yearlings at $40 and $50, and calves at $30, having been reported within a week. Yet the stocker and feeder market, here, was draggy last week, and closed 25 cents lower for the w7eek. Total shipments of stockers and feeders for the week were -6,000 head, which was less than onehalf as many as went out same week year ago, when the drought was driving cattle in from the parched districts. Exactly opposite conditions rule this year, when ample moisture over nearly the whole country is keeping cattle away from the markets. Receipts of cattle to-day are 11,000 head, and the market is a repitition of that of last week, good killing cattle strong and active, stockers and feeders barely steady, some sales lower. Illinois buyers have taken several shipments of good feeders recently, and Iowa- buyers are prominent in the trade. In Iowa the corn crop is farther advanced than usual at this time. Frosts are more feared in Iowa than droughts, hence the corn prospect is excellent there on account of its advanced state. Buyers from all section report a heavy crop of corn in prospect, and plenty of other kinds of feed. Thest conditions and the certainty thai large numbers of cattle will be wanted this fall, make it seem that someone is overlooking a good chance when slockers at the present range of $6.50 to $7.75, and feeders at $7.50 to $8, are neglected. A year ago, at this time, best stockers and feeders sold at $7.80 to $8. Heavy native steers sold at $9 to $9.80 here to-day, a record July price at this market, branded steers to killers at $9.65, and numerous lots of heifers were sold at $9.25 to $9.50. J. A. Rickart, Market Correspondent.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 21. 1914: We have had a good run of cattle here the first two days of this week and most of them were common and medium cattle. Most all that class selling a shade lower than last week. Good corn fed cattle are not very plentiful and that class is selling steady to strong from $8.50 to $9.90. Bull market about 25 cents lower on anything except the best and they are steady. Cows selling at $5.50 and under are about 25c lower and those selling from $7.00 to $9.00 are steady. Stock cattle are about steady on the good kind and others shade lower. We don't look for any improvement in the grass cattle until it comes a general rain and slacks up the receipts. Sheep •lower selling $4.50 down, lambs lower $7.75 dowrn, takes good ones to bring $7.50. Calves steady to lower, top $10.50.

GREENFIELD CHAUTAUQUA

About 8,000 hogs' to-day and market opened slow but steady with bulk of sales at $9.10 and top $9.15f for a few fancy lights. We don't look for much advance in prices for balance of week, but they will hold about steady unless receipts come heavy, which may cause a little break in prices. Yours very truly, Allen & Syfers, Commission Merchants.

Comfort—that must be the final test of a heating plant. If a system, correct in theory, does not maintain comfortable warmth evenly distributed, IT HAS FAILED. f%' \J

Greenfield Company Makes Good Showing With Seventeen I11 Line of March.

Hancock county Uniform Rankmembers are having a good time at the National Encampment at Terre Haute this week. Sunday they had seventeen members of the local company in the line of march and Tuesday they had the same num-, ber. Fourteen members of the Greenfield company have been at Terre Haute since the encampment opened, until. Tuesday evening, when some of them returned home with those who v.cut for tin day only. Those who returned horns. Tuesday evening were A. H. Rollman, Mr. Beggs, Ernest Elliott, A. F. Cooper. E. L. Gorman and M. T. Willett. Mr. Willett went to stay the week, but he became sick. Among those at the encampment now are Simon Fishburn, S. S. Bradley, A. N. Steele, Joseph Lewis, Horace Wickard, Mack Wilson, Pete Boyd, Lon Ray and J. E. Glas-.' cock, Charles Hutchison, M. T. Duncan, Roy Thomas, Lee Hannah and Mr. Harvey.

An idea of the number of Rank members in attendance at the encampment can be gained by the fact that it took the procession two hours to pass a given point in marching Tuesday.
