liberal making the receipts for the week to date compare favorably with last week and also with tho name period of last year Tho demand for the better grades was active so that the market was brisk and no important changes in prices were noted There were about twenty-five- cars of corn fed steers in the yards and tho quality of tho offerings as a wholo was good Receipts included about fifty cars of cows and heifers The demand was a little more active on the better grades than it was yesterday and the market could ho quoted steady Bulls veal calves and slags sold without material change from yesterdays quotations There were not many desirable grades of stockers and feeders on sale so that anything answering to that description was picked up in good season at steady prices The demand for the common kinds was limited the same as It has heen for some time past and sellers had consid erable difficulty In disposing of that class of cattle There was an actlvo demand for western range beef steers and as a Tesult the fifteen cars offered sold at good strong prices Hogs Receipts of hogs were fairly nb oral making fho supply for the four days of this week considerably In excess of both the corresponding days or last week and the same days of last year Tho market at this point opened up in good season with prices a good nickel higher than yesterdays average market As the morning advanced the market took on more life and prices grew stronger at a rapid rate At the close an advance or 710c over yesterdays average was noted The early sales were mostly at J5G5 Xater on the bulk sold at 5C7 and on tho close o67 and 570 were the popular prices Sheep There were quite a few sheep and lambs on sale Tmt nearly everything offered was feeders There were a few cars however of native corn feds which sold at good steady prices Packers seem to bo anxiotm for sunolies here but they claim that prices are too high in com parison with other points The feeder market was not very brisk as the num ber of buyers was rather limited Some of tho better grades sold at just about steady prices but aside from those the market was dull and weak Old ewes in particular are hard to move and prices are

punishment of the brigands who kidnaped Miss Stone as one of the conditions of her ransom In fact our government has not authorized any promise whatever to be made that would bind its hands in dealing with the- subject in the future or that would prevent it either from insist ing on the punishment of the brigands or from lodging a demand for full in demnity for the money which may be paid over as ransom for Miss Stone There is no disposition to disavow any of Mr Dickinsons acts but the officials here are confident that he has not compromised the case Be cause of his diplomatic rank it is left
