TO TEST THE BEPUBLI0AN3.
Domocrats Will Probably Favor the Mc
Pherson Eesolution.
A special from New York to the Kan
sas City Times says:
"A gentleman occupying a prominent
position in the democratic party, and
also in financial circles, who has just re
turned from Washington, says that the
democrats of the senate have practically
made up their minds to stand upon the
McPherson resolution suspending the
purchase of silver under the Sherman
act. He says that all but the extreme
advocates of silver will vote solidly for
this resolution, and a good deal of the
pressure is to be brought to bear upon
the house in case of success m the sen
ate to secure action during the present
session of congress. The matter is much
complicated by the attitude assumed by
the republican senators, meet of whom
have heretofore taken a prominent posi
tion against the further coinage of silver
and in favor of the adoption of any
method that promises to render the
present law less dangerous. But a change
seems to have come over these gentle
men, and there is much doubt whether
they can be brought to the support of
the McPherson resolution.
" It seems to be a game of policies, the
tendency being to leave the financial sit
uation and all its complications over for
the new administration. Business inter
ests here have taken alarm at the unex
pected attitude of the republican
senators, and there is consequently a
good deal of nervousness among their
representatives. This makes it probable
that these interests, including manufac
turers, merchants and bankers, will be
gin the work of arousing public
sentiment in business centers in favor of
the repeal of the purchase provision of
the Sherman law. For this purpose
meetings will probably soon be held by
the various boards of trade, chambers of
commerce, exchaages and organizations
representing commercial interests in
general. It is already proposed not only
to do this work not only here in New
York, but to extend it to large cities the
country over. It is not unlikely that
witLin the next four weeks a general ex
preetion of opinion by representative
business bodies throughout the country
will be made. It may not even begin
here, but may be inaugurated in other
cities and be taken up by New York busi
ness men later in the session of the pres
ent congteea
"It seems to be assumed as certain
that the next congrei-s will take some
positive action on the lines of the pro
posed policy in accordance with the
pledgee made by the Chicago convention
to this effect The senatorial situation is
somewhat complicated by the knowledge
of the fact that ex-Senator Piatt and the
managers f the republican machine in
general are pronouncedly in favor of the
election of Murphy. There is probably
a mixture of motives in this, although it
has long been a recognized fact that the
managers of both parties had a very good
understanding with each other. There
seems to be a sort of general participa
tion between them in the profits arising
from legislative manipulation, so far as
they concern the personal business of
these managers themselves. The repub
lics managers look upon this as a very
good opportunity to divide the party.
They know that the present machine has
almost absolute control of the politics of
the state, but that the new president will
have a control no lees absolute of the
federal patronage, and are inclined to
think that if a clash can be brought
about between the two interests -an op
portunity will be presented at the next
election to redeem the state in spite of its
present democratic conditions."
Kansas City Stock Yard Notes.
L. Blum, of El Paso, Texas, last week
made his first purchase of live stock m
this market He will ship a trainload
of the best cattle and hogs he can buy
this week and expects to make heavy
purchases here in the future.
The clearing house is growing in popu
larity. Some of the firms which origin
ally did not favor the plan are now
making settlements through it, and a
large majority of the firms doing busi
ness at the yards speak in high terms of
its efficiency. The firms doing a heavy
business are especially pleased with the
service.
As an economical feeder Simon Ken
ton, of Glenwood, Kas., promises to win
the pennant. Hogs being very scarce,
Mr. Kenton could not get any at prices
to suit him to follcw his cattle; but, un
like most feeders who would have looked
upon the situation as a misfortune, Mr.
Kenton inquired into the matter further.
A day or two later he transferred a flock
of geese to his cattle range and is now
bragging on how rapidly his geese are
gaining flesh.
A good deal of interest is being mani
fested by stockmen on the subjects to be
considered by the convention which
meets at Guthrie, Okl., January 18. This
convention is called for the purpose of
urging the opening to settlement of the
Cherokee strip and for advancing the
claims of Oklahoma to statehood. Stock
men are now anxious to see the future
of the outlet settled. They recognize
that it can never more be used for cattle
ranges, and would much rather see it
settled than pilfered by "boomers."
The receipts of cattle for the week
ending December 24 were: cattle 28,050;
hogs, 53 368; sheep, 6 499. The market
in cattle for the we k wa9 a lively one and
the prices ranged 25o to 50c higher than
the previous week up to Friday, when the
market made a bad break, dropping off
40o owing to heavy receipts iu Chicago
which broke that market and affected
Kansas City. Toe receipts were light
here, however, owing to warnings of the
probable drop in prices. Tne market
will doubtlets be firm the present week.
Tn ehog market is all right and will
probably be for the season.
THEIR VIEWS OF THE FUTURE.
Ed M. Smith, of Larimer, Smith &
Bi idgeford, said: " The supplies of choice
dressed beef steers have been moderate,
but there seems to be no end to the half
fat and common cattle. It is strange
that feeders and farmers will send their
cattle to market before they are fetf
when feed is plenty and cheap. Such
cattle not only sell at low and unsatis
factory prices, but they demoralize the
market for fat cattle. If fat cattle alone
should come to market, prices would
soon advance. Hogs are 25 cents per
owt. higher than they were a week ago.
Predictions to the effect that they will
soon sell for $7 per cwt. seem likely to
be fulfilled. Supplies of sheep are light,
with a good demand for good lambs,
mutton sheep and feeders. I
' James H. Campbell, of the Campbell
Commission company, said: "We don't
expect a break in hog prices, but rather .
think prices will go higher. However, '

country buyeis should not get their
ideas too high, for it is well known that
high priced articles curtail the consump
tion. We have a fairly good supply of
cattle in sight for the next sixty days,
but on the whole we have reached the
period of a healthier condition of affairs
in the cattle trade and look for better
prices in 1893 than we have had for the
past two years. There is a scarcity of
well bred native young cattle in the
country, also of good, thick fat cattle
good enough for export during the
winter months. Country feeders should
be careful and not market their cattle
before they are matured, as the prices
of hogs will cheapen the cost of feeding
materially and enable cattle to be fed at
a lees cost than usual."
The George R. Barse Live Stock Com
mission Company expressed the follow
ing views: "The week opened with fancy
cattle selling higher than at anytime
for a year and a good market on all
grades of shipping and export cattle,
also a strong demand for that class of
cattle. With large receipts we have had
a steadily declining market all week on
all cattle except the very best grades,
and the market closes 25 to 40 cents
lower on medium and common beef
cattle, with prospects of a slight reaction
next week. Cattle feeders were attracted
by the strong prices being obtained by
their neighbors and frightened by the
storms of the past two weeks, and rushed
their cattle to market. Those shippers .
who were not satisfied with Kansas City
bids and concluded to forward their
cattle to Chicago, have all lost money,
as they were compelled to sell at Kansas
City bids, or very little more. We do
not know of a shipment of that class that
has made money. We can only adyiso
feeders who have medium and common
cattle to feed them a little longer, for to
rush cattle in now means still lower
prices. Feeders have been strong and
the demand seems as good as for the
past sixty days. The medium grades of
native feeders look too high compared to
the prices of corn-fed cattle."
