Heavier Receipts Than Usual First
Week in July Burden Trade.
Chicago, July 4.—Arrivals are run
ning far above the customary limited
receipts for the first week in July, but
fortunate a good portion of the arriv
als consists of horses consigned
through to eastern points. Demand
here is possibly a little better than
usual the week of July 4, as the fact
that auctions would be held attract
ed a few buyers, but the supply of com
mon and medium horses is far in ex
cess of the n^eds of the trade and all
such are moving very slowly. Auction
sales have been held and a portion of
the offerings of this 'class found out
let, but retaillfi along the line is prac
tically at a stj mdstill, with the excep
tloo of some 0 emand for the very few
good big chu| ks and drafters, which
raeldant buvai for aactarn markets
«k
CLOTHING CO.
have taken at last week's prices. For
the balance of the week very meager
receipts are anticipated, and even few
er buyers for them than have been here
thus far this week. Arrivals for the
first two days this week at 833 head
stand against only 320 head same time
last year and 441 head for the same
time In 1904. For the first two days
last week 1,399 head arrived here.
Marketing of horses at Chicago for
the first half of the current year at
77,616 head stands against 78,352 head
for the same period last year, a loss of
736 head.

BLOOMFIELD.
-f
Bloomfleld, July 4.—The hour spent
with the Junior leaguers In the M. E.
auditorium on Monday evening was
one of pure delight, and the sweet,
unaffected manner in which the little
folks played their part was very re
freshing. A vocal solo by Miss Hazel
Wishard, Introduced the program,
which was one of the best ever given
by the children. Every number was
so well presented that it seemed well
worth the admittance, but the appear
ance of the little housekeepers, by the
tiny tots in which Dorothy Rominger
of Long Branch, Cal., was a leading
spirit, was particularly pleasing, and
made a very happy hit with the audi
ence. The flag drill by the boys, the
fan drill by the girls, the songs, the
school of sparrows, the recitations, all
combined in making the children's en
tertainment more attractive than many
given b" the seniors. The illustrated
story by I'asters Craig Sheaffer and
Vincent Sanders, was very cleverly
presented, and the pig which eventual
ly appeared on the blackboard, was
very realistic. The crowning feature
of the whole was the operetta, the rival
flowers, in which Miss Marie Selman
as the rose, prettily accepted the
homage, which the cowslip, the daisy,
the violet, the carnation and the pan
sy paid to their beautiful queen.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Niblack left

$203,500 FOR HORSES.
The abpve Is the amount In cash we
have paid out to the farmers and
horsemen of southeastern Iowa for
horses sold in our Auction Sales dur
ing the first six months of 1906.
The Opening Sale
of the series of sales to be held every
two weeks during the latter part of
the summer and fall will be held on
Friday and Saturday, July 20-21. All
classes of market horses
011
Friday,
and a lot of big Montana horses on
Saturday.
And right here I want to say a word
about this proposition of buying Mon
tana horses. To begin with, I will state
that the lot we sold last week did not
leave us any margin of profit, nor did
they lose us any money, but the ob
ject we have In view is to stock the
country with a class of horses we can
sell for you again next fall and winter,
and in that manner get our profit out
of them. We sell them on six months'
time, and before the notes are due you
can have them back here In the mar
ket and sell them for a good profit.
Prices on these western horses sold
at our last sale, ranged from $70 to
$112.50, so you may Judge they were
a pretty fair lot. One party, who
bought a pair of big boned 3-year-old
colts of us in the auction last Friday
at $157.50, has sold them already at
$200. Several others who bought the
good kind, have been offered $10 to
$15 per head advance on them.
A fine young draft mare bought out
of this herd by Mr. Marts at the top
price, $112.50, will bring $165 to $175
In our market next winter.
Don't fall to be on hand at our next
sale and secure one or half a dozen
of good young horses to prepare for
