CATTLE There were no fresh arrival
of cattle here this morning with which to
make a test of the market. For the week,
though, there haa been a Mberal run, as
supplies show a gain over iast week
amounting to about 6.O0O head, and a com
pared with the same week of last year,
there Is sn Increase of about .w head.
Considering the liberal run the Market has
been in very satisfactory condition.
Reef steers have made up the big end of
the receipts all the week and In fact on
some days there was little else than steer
on vale. The demand, though, from both
r ackers and shippers was about equal to
he occasion, as is shown by the fact that
trading wa quite active on most days and
practically everything offered here was
sold, and that prleea did not suffer a loss
of more than K'ol.c. With the strength on
Friday the general market la not more than
a dime lower, only something common and
undesirable being more than that. Choice
handy weight cattle aravery little lower
for the week. The good to choice cattle
are quotable frcm $4 60 to SB.OO, with
trlctly prime from S- 00 to $5 25. Fair to
good cattle sell from $4 00 to!4-0 and the
common to fair from $360 to 13.90.
The cow market has not been heavily
supplied this week, and In fact on some
days there were not enougr to All packers'
requirements. Buyers, though, made use
of the heavy receipts of steers to pound the
market on cows about the same amount as
on steers. At the close of the week ih
market show a losa of about a dime, some
heavy and undesirable grades being sa
much as 15o lower, with choice light we'ght
cows and heifers roareely any lower than
a week ng. Good to choice grade are
cuotable from $3 40 to $410. with trlctlv
choice from $4 on to $4 25. Fair to good aell
from fltv to $3 25. and canner and cuttera
from $200 to $2 50.
The market on bulls '.a nillv steadv for
th week. Strictly choice grades sell from
$3.24 to $3.75. but the bulk of the fair to
good ones frn $2. 10 to $3 25. with common
stutr from 12 7S down, veal calves are
steady choice grade selling nn to lo75.
1 ne demand lor stockers and reeders wa
not very rushing last week snd as a result
Prices eased off a little. Choice stneke-s
are now selling to the greatest advantng
and are right rlose to steadv for the week.
Heavy feeder, however, and the commoner
grade of stockers have been rather neg-
ected snd are shout lnensc lower for the
reek. Good to choice crsdes are ouothle
feonm S3.7S to S4.IR. fair to good from 13.R0 to
$3 75. and the commoner rrades from $340
aown. itepresentative saiea:

HOGS There was a fair run of hnn hera
this morning for a Saturday, and with a
uneral demand the market waa brisk with
prices a little stronger than vesterd.iv 11
the opening of the market, though, packers
were bidding a little lower and a few loads
were sold that way. After the first round,
though, the market stiffened and became
more active, the close being a shade
sirvnger than yesterday s prleea Every.
inina was sold at an aarlv hour. h mar.
kt being the most active of any that has
been experienced In soma time past. The
long string went at $4 m. with the Yulk
of all the sales from $4 17 to $4.92. Th
prime loads went from $4 92 to $6 00, and
the common stuff from $4 45 down. Packers
ar discriminating against the extreme
light welghta to quite an extent and that
clasa Bell considerably below th bulk of
tne goo.i weight hoga. a load weighing
163 pounda si ld at $4 74.
For the week receipts hsve been very
liberal, as Is shown by the fact that there
Is an Increase over last week amounting
to about 14.' head. and. as compared with
tne c.rr-ronaing week or laxt year th
gain amounts to about 9.000 head. There
was a slight advance In prices on Mon
dav. but on Tuesday and Wednesday the
tendency was downward, the loss for the
week amounting to nearly l.v. Since
YVedneaday, inougn tne movement ha been
upward, so that closing- prices are only
apout do lower man ine close or last week

SHEEP There were a few cara of lamb
reported thla morning, but not enough to
make anarksC Jr'ur th week receipt
are about the same a f-r lat wee
k. with!
reek of
a "I glit Irnr-ase ever the am
last year. The demand h.is l-en In goixl
halthy condition, with the tendency of
trices upward. Wethers and yearlings
have advance,! about 1 j.p .c. while eaes
have not gained more than a dime at
the outside. As mentioned yesterd-iy, how
ever, ewes have been selling higher than
any other class of mutton, so that It is
only raiural to suppose that lhy will not
advance as rapidly as other grades.
The lamb market was also In very satis
factory condition all the week and price
advanced even more than on weihers and
yearling. The gain can safely be put at a
oiarter. while many salesmen are calling

TAKE YOUR GOLD" AWAY
Denver Doctor Inclines to Share la a
Fortane aad Haad It ta
HI Slater.
e
Henceforth when people Dr. William
A. Harroun of Denver, they will look at
hlni. shake their head and whisper, "Too
bud."
Otljers, maybe theatrical men, will be
siege the doctor with requests that h go
on the stage. This as It may be, Dr. Har
roun comes as near being a temarkabl
man aa any who ever lived. What did h
do? Oh, nothing but refuse to accept tl.
NO.iVti; And there was no string on the vast for
tune. It waa Just left to him and he de
cided that ho did not want It. Said It
would be a heap better It bla sister, Mrs.
J. M. Lewi ot Portland, Me., had th
money.
So Dr. Harroun ent the following tele
gram to his sister last night:
"I will not accept a cent ot money. It la
all yours. This is final."
Just a bit of history that everyone may
know tho facts before they begin wonder
ing about Dr. Harroun.
YYilllam A. Harroun Is the direct heir
of James A. Harfoun, who died a few
weeks ago In Ireland. Deceased waa a
brother of Dr. Harroun' father, and tha
iast of the bro'hera to die. A number ot
year ago Dr. Harroun refuse to tell th
exact number an agreement r oa made be
tween the brother that the laat to die
hould leave all Ma estate th oldest
son of any of the brother. This happena
to b Dr. Harroun. The property conalsta
ot a large estate In Ireland with a plentltul
upply of caah.
So much for the htatory of th ca.
Within tho next three day Dr. Harroun
will start ' for Portland accompanied by
hia wife. Ho wanta to "clinch" th matter -ot
hi slater r.cceptlng all th estate. Dr.
Harroun will leave hla wife In Portland
and on April IS she will sail lof Ireland,
with Dr. Harroun's sister and two children.
Dr. Harroun, who Is not old and who 14
not rich, has lived In Denver for. a num-.
ber ot years. He haa a downtown offlca
where he receives patient Just Ilka any
other physician In Denver and charge
them so much per visit. He also give
a portion of hi time 'to th Emergency
hospital. He can be found at tha hospital
almost every day after t o'clock, aaalating
patients.
There la no doubt but he haa a good
practice, but ther la nothing remarkable
about It A hundred doctor In Denver, no
doubt, make Just aa much every day aa
Dr. Harroun.
Then why doe he refuaa tha eatata of '
nearly $2,000,000?
Read hla word few that they art:
"I would give the eatate over again If,
I could hav kept thl out of th papera,"
he began. "I hate to sea It In print" All
of which la very modest.
"Why did I refuse th eat ate r' ha asked.
"Because I did not want It I hav mad
my own living. Worked hard for vry dol
lar I earned. Expect to work hard for tha
dollars to come. Bom of these day t may
make $2,000,000 of my own. I Ilk to spend
my own money the money I earn. I would
rather my slater had tha money. Bha
need It more than I do. My wlf and I
hav all tha comfort of life, what mora
do I want?"
Then he walked away. That wa all h
had to say. Dr. Harroun haa many frtencj
among newspaper men. Hla closest friends.
however, could not Induce him to say an
other word. He aald that was all and ha
meant tt
If these fscta do not stamp Dr. Harroun
a a remarkable man then facta do not
make one remarkable. Denver Poat.
