CATTLE The aamc as usual on a Satur
day, there Wi-re Jost a tew oad bjuches of
intue in the yards ana not hj..imii .vun
which to make 11 test of the market. For
the week receipts show very little change
either as compared with lust week or w.th
the same week of last year. With the ex
leption of last week, which was J.ist a
trifle heavier, and the week before, auppbca
this week have been tile heaviest 01 the
year. Considering that fact, tne market
has been In exceptionally good condition.
A noticeable feature of ih. wonem run
this season is than It has been dihtrlouted
more evenly through ihe week than usual.
In previous years the big bulk, of the cat.lc
have coma in me. itrsi tvo days ut the
week.
There has been a fair sprinkling of corn
fed steers on saie tills week, and tne best I
grades may be quoted strong and active.
Tho part fat kinds, though, have been motel
or less neglected, ami it ariyinina are a I
trifle lower than they were it week ago.
Cood to choice granes sell from 85.35 to o.ii,
fair to good irom 4.o to 45.25, and short la 1
and common si oft ironi $4.76 down.
Vhere nas nee.11 a 01 run oi cuwH on sale,
mostly western rangers, .in spite of that tact
the tendency of prices has ineu upward.
A compared with last Thursday, w.nch
was the low day of the year, tne advance
amounts to about 153iu', and as compared
with tho cose of last week jirlces are oow
about PKfilic higher. A 1 grades have joined
In ihe Ruvanoe. The Mime as has been the
case for some lime pasi, corn fcjs have
been vi-ry sraree tb.s week. Anything ie
cent wouid sell from I3.VS to $4 2o. with com
mon stuff Irom $3 75 down. Oacd to inoiro
weatern grass cows could bn qjotd from
$2.00 to $3 15, fair to good from 2 40 in $2.'i 1,
and cannery and cutters from $1.50 to $2.. 5.
Pulls, veal calvea and sia&a have been
selling In Just ubout ihe same notches they
did last week.
There has been a brUk demand for stock
ers and teeners all ihe we-K, so ti.at In
spite of the' tact that receipts nave been
liberal, prices are a l.ltle higher. As com
pared with the close of lact week the ad
vance amounts to about lofrluc. on nil de
sirable grades. Common caitle havo been
easier to sell than they were last week,
but the Improvement In prices baa not been
so marked as In the case of the belter
frrades. The best grades of feeders sell
argely from $J.5o to $4 00. fair to good. $3.15
to $3.60, and common stuff ftom $3.oo down.
Most all of tils feeders offered t his week
were western rangers,, very few native
feeders being on safe.
There has been a good run of western
grass beef steers on sale all the week, uut
the quality of the offerings has shown no
Improvement. In fact, good cattle have
been so scarce that it is hard to say what
prices they would command. It Is tale to
quote good to choice cattle, though, from
$3.50 to $4 25, fair to good from $1 15 to $3.,0.
Atid the commoner Kinds from $1.0) down.
Western rang cows and stockers and
feeders have been sel'.lng as noted above.
HOGS There was about an average run
of lu gs here for a Saturday at this time of
the year and as udvicea from other points
were more favorable to the selling Inter
esls the market here Improved a little
(The light welghia advanced the most and
1 were close to w- higher than yesterday.
The heavy weights, ihougli. were slow all
day and were all ihe way from steady to
a nlcKel higher In some eases. They sold
from $.1.15 to $5.25. The medium Weights
went from $5.25 to $5.3o. and lights from
that up to $j.jc. The top prices were paid
for a very prime loud weighing '.'25
pounds. There was mil much change in the
market from start to lliilsli. but of course
ihe close was certainly no better.
The receipts of hogs for the week have
been a Utile lighter than for last week,
but a trifle heavier than for the same week
of last year. The exact figures will be
found In the tabln at the head of the
column. The week opened with a strong
market, but from that lime until the clone
of the market on Thursday there was a
succession of sensational breaks In the
market. The decline for the week to date
on Tluirsday amounted to close to 5"c, but
the last two days the market has been a
little stronger, so that closing prices are
eh- to 45c lower than a week ago. This
has been the most radical change In prices
that has gone Into effect In some time
past.

SHEEP There were no fresh arrivals
of sheep and lambs hero this morning, but
for the week there has been an Increase
over last week of about 211.000 bead, but as
compared wltii the same week of last year
there la a, decrease amounting to about
.ix) head. Considering the size of Ihe
receipts Ihe market has been In very
satisfactory condition and In fact the
demand in nearly all cases has been lully
ual to th supply.
la sals to auota ins market on both
fat sheep and lambs or good quality fully
steady for Ihe week. All deslralue grades
hav met with ready sale and very little
stuff has been carried over from day to
day. Of course In the rase of common olufT,
such as feeders were not anxious for, Ihe
msrket was alow and perhaps weak.
There was also a i'beral demand for
feeders all Ihe week so that In spite of the
fact that th bulk of the offerings was not
fat enough for killers, there was very
little change in the price of feeders (loud
yearlings In particular sold well ami

Iist week was a busy one In the higher
Masonic circles In the United States, the
General Grand Conncll of 'the Royal and
Select Masters holding sessions at Little
Rock, Ark.. October 6, and the thirty-second
triennial convention of tha General Grand
Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons being
held at the rnme place on the two follow
ing days. At both of these meetings Ne
braska's grand council and grand chapter
wero represented by Gustavo Anderson,
who at this time is at Richmond, Va.,
where lie attended the' meeting of the Na
tional Masonic Relief board. From there
he will go to Washington, D. C where the
triennial council of tha Scottish Rite
Masons will be held this week.
Tha growth of tho Council of Royal and
Select Masters is mors rapid now than
ever before. The report of the general
grand treasurer shows that there are now
37.702 membera of the lodge and that 23.111
of these have Joined In the last twenty
years. A closer analysis of the books
would no doubt show that much more than
half of these have Joined within the last
ten years and that the rate of Increase la
much larger now than at the beginning
of the term. The degrees of this lodge are
what are termed "side" degrees, that is.
they are not required as steps to higher
degrees in the Masonic order, but there
Is a strong sentiment on the part of many
to make them regular, placing them be
tween the chapter and the commondery.
The Little Rock meeting was the eighth
triennial assembly of the general grand
council. The following officers were
elected:
Andrew P. Bwanstron of St. Paul, gen-er-al
grand master; Henry O. Larabce of
Baltimore, deputy general grand master;
Olaf W. Macklln of Toledo, general grand
prlnclpa! conductor; Charles H. Heaton of
Motitpeller, Vt., general grand treasurer;
Henry V. Morghurst of Fort Wayne. Ind..
general grand recorder: .1. W. Blake of
Boston, general grand captain of the guard;
Edward M. Wellington of Ellsworth. Kan.,
general grand conductor of the council:
George A. Newell of Medina, N. Y. general
(.rand marrhal: William F. Cleveland of
Harlan. Ia., general grand sentinel.
The work of the general grand chapter
required threo days, as the membership Is
much larger and matters of great moment
were considered at this meeting. Probably
the most interesting question considered
was that of the granting of dispensations
for the organization of chapters In foreign
lands and territory acquired by the United
States. Cuba and the Philippines both had
In applications, as did Porto Rico. As the
Htandlng of Porto Rico in relation to the
United States Is fixed a charter was granted
for a chapter In San Juan, but it is not
known at this time what action was taken
in regard to the two-other insular applica
tions. .
The statement of the general grand sec
retary showed a total membership of 219,965.
The Importance of the ohapter can be seen
by the financial statement, which showed
total receipts in three years of 8438,831 and
expenditures of 8374,442.
On the second day of the convocation
the following officers were elected:
Past high priest, Arthur G. Pollard of
liOwel!, Mass.; high priest, Joseph E. Dyas
of Paris, III.; king. William Swain of Mil
waukee, Wis.; scribe, Nathan Klngsley of
Austin, Minn.; treasurer, John M. Carter
of Baltimore, Md.; secretary, Christopher
O. Fox of Buffalo, N. Y.; captain of the
host, Bernard G. Witt of Henderson, Ky. ;
principal sojourner. George E. Corson of
Washington, D. C. ; royal arch captain,
Frederick W". Craig of Dcs Moines. Ia.;
master of the third veil, William F. Kuhn
of Kansas City; master of the second veil,
Bcstor G. Brown of Topeka.
No reports have been received from the
meeting of the Masonic relief board and It
is not likely that much of the proceedings
will be made, public,' as the work of this
board is of a strictly confidential nature.
It coming before the public only when
frauda are to be exposed. The local Omaha
board is seldom noticed, but it annually
spends hundreds of dollars in Its regular
routine work, being enabled to better as
sist worthy brothers and their families by
keeping a systematic watch for the un
worthy. ,
Considerable interest Ir. manifest in tho
Scottish Rite of the state over the pro
ceedings of the supreme council, and many
are wondering who will receive the hon
orary degrees which are ' usually passed
around upon the return of Judge Anderson
fiom his triennial visit to Washlngtou.
