INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. Co. C.ittle Recc ir t.-?. 20: phipmrnts, KK). The marketing of cattle this week has been of fmnlkr volume, ihn total showing a decrease of over 2,) compared with last week, but there is an increase of about C") over the same v.eek a year a'jo and 7' over the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are over G4,X larger than the same period last year. From the beginning of tho week there was a better undertone to the market for fat cattle, but on account of amile supplies salesmen were unable to advance prices to any quotable extent. Smaller receipts to ward the close of the week, however, stim ulated competition and with an Increased demand from nearly all sources, a gain of at least 10c was registered In prices of all fat stock. There was also a better Inquiry for the desirable stockers and feeding cat tic, which were salable at more satisfac tory prices, but cornmon stockers and very ordinary butcher cattle did not sell per ceptibly better at any time during the week. At the extreme close of the week the clearance was better than It has been for some time pat, and dealers seem to feel a little encouraged over the outlook for all choice cattle. There was a con tinued scarcity of fancy stock, which ac counts for the absence of any extreme prices, but during the week steers sold as high as $5.10, heifers 54.53 and cows $4.40. As usual at the close of the week, there were not many fresh arrivals to-day and sales were usually on a basis of steady prices compared with yesterday. Steers sold as high as $5.

Thus far this year the receipts are nearly ICtf.OoO larger than the same period last year. For th? week end Ins yesterday local packers bought a total of 31.272, against 3S.9G1 the preceding week nnd 23,343 the same week a year apo. Dur ing the sime period the shipments were 7.M3. against 7,135 the preceding week and 13.5iG the corresponding week a year ago. Quito a falling off in the receipts this week together with an increased ciemand from the outside sources were causes for an up ward movement in prices, and the extreme top, $0.23. which was obtained at the close of tho week, is the highest price paid In this market In just one month, and 520 higher than the top price about the middle of the month. The quality continues fairly satisfactory, but there Is no increase in the proportion of heavy hogs. Together with the increased shipping demand, packers continued liberal buyers and the supplies have been exhausted early nearly every day. The week opened with an ad vane of 5c in the average, followed by a further gain of 10c, and then a reaction of 10c. In the closing days of the week there was a gain of about 20c, which left the average fully 25c higher than the close of last week. The good weight hogs of uniform quality have been favored most, the extreme price for that class at the close of this week is 35c higher than last Saturday. The receipts to-day were larger than a week ago and a little smaller than a year ago. Reports from other places were encouraging and the market here opened with salesmen asking a good advance in prices. There seemed to be just enough inquiry from shippers to give packers a good start and the trading was active at a general advance of about 10c in prices of the better weights over yes terday. Lighter averages, however, were probably not to exceed 3c higher. Prac tically all of the early arrivals sold on a basis of opening prices, but with shippers out of the market packers naturally were inclined to bid lower toward the close, and. In fact, were offering SlilOc less than in the morning. Salesmen were reluctant in mak ing any concessions whatever, but were finally persuaded that It was better to ac cept a shade lower prices rather than carry over the few loads until Monday. Conse quently a good clearance was finally made and the last sales were generally considered about 5c lower than early.

The receipts of sheep and lambs this week have been of smaller volume, the total showing a decrease cf over 2.2"0 compared with last week, over 2.5' compared with the same week a year ago and an Increase of over 1.000 compared with the correspond ing week two years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are G0.500 larger than the same period hist year. There has been practically a steady market for sheep and lambs all of this week. On account of the small supplies there has been no really urgent competition between buyers and the demand from local sources has been smaller than usual. Consequently at times there was a disposition among buyers to pres. prices and It Is possible that they succeeded In getting concessions In some instances, but it was observed that the strictly choice stock showed very little difference at any time during the week. The extreme price paid for lambs was $4.50 and for yearling sheep $.I.4'J with the top for old sheep prac tically $3. The supply to-day was small, but about as large as the average on Satur day. The demand was about steady and rales did not shmv any quotable change in prices compared with yesterday. Iambs were reported at $3.2311.50 and sheep at $2.rx';'3.23.

"Observer," In December Era. "Many years ago," he said. "I compiled a series of volumes for a publisher. 1 be lieve there were to have been ten in the series, but the publisher succumbed with the is3ue of the fourth or fifth and went into bankruptcv. It was given out that he would settle with his creditors at 15 cents on the dollar. I don't know about the other creditors. I do know, however, that I never git my 13 cents. I had my trouble for noth ing. Rut in the llrst place I never knew how far my confounded series had contributed to the downfall of tho publisher. The fear that It might have been the last straw on a burdenea back made me feel towards the camel as the offender and not the victim. In the second place, 1 for many years found comfort in the thought that I should re coup myself for all my trouble some time in the future. And this was the way of It. In the course of very extensive readings to stcure unhackneyed material for the series, i. c, good stuff that had passed into ob livion, 1 found in an old magazine a really excellent thort story by one of the bright est of the famous Pfaff gang of Bohemi ans. It was not only excellent in ltslf as a narrative, but it struck m that it con tained excellent dramatic qualities as well. '?ome day,' says I to myself. Til turn that lato a comedy and it'll be a. go." Rut other duties pressed upon me. I put off writing the play. One day a friend of mine, an actor, suggested to me that we should write a pl.:y together. Tm a dandy in dia logue.' E.tid the actor friend and indeed he was well known as a master of the con versational euip and cjuirk. 'but 1 can't create a plot.' 'No more can I, perhap.-.' 1 retorted, "but I've sot a plot ready made. And I r -counted to him the story of 'Murnpty Lmxupiv und the Wall.' ehdll we call K? Saturday Night, Dec. 14, at 8.

No, I'm not going to tell you the real name. 1 shall preserve the wise and mas terly reticence of our friend Smith. How ever, to resume, the actor-man liked the plot. It was agreed that I should sketch out a scenario based upon these lines and that we should both set to work, I on the skeleton of plot and situation, he on the flesh and blood of dialogue;. We had fin ished the third act when, one day, only a month ago, a very young friend of mine, whom 1 knew to be possessed of literal y ambition, called upon me: "Do you rememüer that series of books you published fifteen years ago?" he asked. "I thought I was the only one that did,' I responded. "Well, there's a story in one of the vol umes, entitled Tlumpty Dumpty and the Wall. 1 want to know if there's any copy right on it." " 'No,' said I. 'It was published fifty years ago in Fiddler's Magazine. Why do you ask?' " "Because," replied the youth, with a glow of pride upon his beardless cheek, "I have turned it into a comedy, and sold it to Robinson (naming a prominent actor-manager), and he wanted me to be sure that there were no copyright complications." Sii orr Drifts in the Adirondack. December Scribner's. On a good drift-making day the snow comes, not in the star-shaped flakes that look so pretty when portrayed on a page of the dictionary, but in small pellets. These pellets are in shape like tiny white footballs, usually, and they come rolling and tumbling down-wind as If they had been "kicked for fair" by the half-back gods of the gale! And yet while they roll and tumble and bound, they find lodging places, and as the idler gazes he sees them pile up in a wall on the crest of the road cut. Higher and higher grows the pile, forming at first a vertical wall, but before this has risen three inches it is seen to overhang the gulch. Though round and easily rolled these pellets In some way fit to each other as bricks would until the overhang is perhaps a fifth as great as the elevation of the wall, and then, marvelous and impossible as it would seem to the un accustomed observer, a lip forms on the crest of the wall, and soon It begins to droop and hang down. Wider, and longer It grows; further and further it drops, until its shape is precisely like the lip formed on a huge wave when it breaks on a shoal water beach. Lips that are ten feet wide, and hang down three feet, clear of all, though but six or eight inches thick where they Join the chin of the wall, are not un common. By what magic is it that these frozen, oblong pellets, that go bounding along as merrily as footballs, form into such a shape as that? Of course, if the storm continues, a time usually comes when the lips break off because of their growing weight. And then no new lip forms to replace the lost one. The snow merely drops over into the lee of the wall and gradually fills the cutting. Another curious feature of these Hps is seen when they do not fall.; A thaw may come often does come and spread a hard ened skin over the lip to hold it in. We Hnve All Known "Mta LIIes." From "Emmy Lou." in December McClure. "Miss Lizzie was tall. Miss Lizzie seemed to tower up and over one's personality. One had no mind of one's own. One said what one thought Miss Lizzie wanted one to say. Sometimes one got it wrong; then Miss Lizzie's cold up-and-down survey smote one into a condition something akin to vacuity, until Miss Lizzie said briefly, 'Sit down!' "Then one sat down hastily.
