. - November 4, 1SI01
Contrary to the expectation of
many, receipts of cuttle at Kansas
City during tho month of Oetolcr
Mere well up towards those of Octo
ber 1900. As the month was a record
breaker and the past season lias em
braced many features that were
, hardly conductive to a heavy fall run
there was every reason to believe
that receipts for October this year
would fall far short of the banner
month a year ago. Last month's ar
rivals were over 270,(KI00nii(l less than
1K.0O0 short of October !)U0. Hog re
ceipt for October were 220,500
against lMl,40()last year and the sheep
supply amounted to 117,200 as com
pared with 122.K00 for 'October 1000.
The quality of the cattle during the
past week has shown some Improve,
ment and the reduction in the supply
was confined to consignments of
range cattle and Blockers and feeders.
Corn cattle prices were probably
shaded a little, quality considered,
and the top price for the week was
(5.45, but the absence of heavy grass
offerings stimulated values of such
rattle to the extent of 10 to 12 above
the previous week's average.
A good many thin cows nrennding
their way to market as a result of
tho fall range clenulng nnd herd j
shaping for the winter and while
thenjL no difllculty experienced in
disposing ol them the range of prices
is at about th e lowest point of the
year. Fihnales In good flesh are not
so plentiful anil sell well and quickly.
Light receipts of feeders has Im
proved the condition of the country
shipping trade and the apathetic
feeling of the previous week has en
tirely disappeared. The demand for
the better class of feeders continues
strong, country buyers take hold of
the medium qualities with a better
spirit and the week closes with the
yards practically free from "hold
over" supplies. Shipments to the
country during the month of October
amounted to about 05,000 against
120,000 during October 1900.
Southern steers were benefited by
the falling off of range consignments
In tho native division and closed 10
to 15 higher on the week. The best
steers offered sold at 3.00 to 3.S5, the
3.60 price Including some cattle that

good dry cows sold up to 3.00 but
the most of the arrivals consisted of
common to fair cows that sold at
1.75 to 2.55.
True to the established precedent

of October closed 1.10 to 1.25 lower

ago with prime heavy hogs selling at
5.90 to 0.00; mixed and medium
weiguts at o.u to o.suj; ngnts at ;.

shrinkage for the week was 20 to W
per lWMvclgnt, ana local prices con
tinue to hold some prestige over
Eastern points.
Mutton sheep reveled in popularity
during the past week and present In
dications portend still stronger val

Dear Cousins:
. I have en
joyed reading your various let
ters; but sorry to see a disposi
tion on the part of some to say
cutting little things about the
neighbors. Now this is all
wrong. Let us strive to say
only pleasant things about our
neighbors. They are all nice
people because there are very
few sorry people on the Plains
and they are not the ones we all
know. X. T. Z. wants us to talk
about beautifying our home, etc.

of boys who never can be made

gate down "jest a minit." Oh
dear, how faithfully I have tried
to beautify and seen ray fondest
hopes disappear in a lovely hen

nish a delectable morsel for the

beauty lies not through the

the inside of our houses and cul
tivate our minds if we cannot
have beauty outside. The long
winter evenings are here now
when the young people like some
amusement. The boy or girl
who likes to read can by a little
planning and management al
ways have something new an d
good to read with but small
outlay; but those who neither
read 1 1 ly or ting. Oh
dear me, that reminds me of my
big brother. He will not read,
can not play or sing and how to
amuse bim I am racking my
brain over now. He is not old
enough to go to some other girl
for amusement and expects me
to entertain him.
If any of the cousins can sug
gest something new let us have
it by all means; something that
will not raise the roof with noise
and yet, noisy enough to suit a

A Violent Attack of Croup

of mine had croup In a violent
form, " says Elder John W. Rog

Filley, Mo. "I gave her a few
doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and m a short time all
danger was past and the child
recovered." This remedy not
only cures croup, but when glv

appear, will prevent the attack.
