At ins close of the week values sre not very much different from what they were on Friday of last week. Some kinds might bosalblv be a little bit eatler. but the i general market Is not far from steady. cows and neirers have nn in very good demand sll wsek. but still they fluctuated In about the same way as beef steers, being alternately lower and h.gher. As waa the case with beef steers the change as oomnared with a week ago has been very slight, but they can safely be quoted as steady, ana on some ainas possibly a little stronger. Veal calvss, bulls and stags are also fully steady with a week ago. Iieslrshls feeding cattle have been in ght supply all wee and they are IMS X! higher than the close of last week; Even the lighter ana thinner graces oi stock cattle have been good sellers all ths week at firm prices. . quotations on Cattle-Ooed ta choice beet steers. 17 OoSa.00; fair to good beet steers, se.s0tr7.00; oemmoa to fair beef steers, S5.Uajt.tO; good U choice hollers.

Soma business wss dona on outside ac count at nickel declines, packers taking very little Interest in the supply until order buyers began to weaken. The late trade, patronised largely by local pack era, ruled quiet and generally 6o lower. A few aalea nis.l toward the close showed losses of possibly a dime. Recelpta were well up to week-end re quirements, amounting to about 10.000 bead. Almost one-third of this total sold to shippers snd specelslors. psckers taking the remainder of the run. Move ment at no time In the session was very lively, but a creditable clearance was possible and at 11 o'clock there were only a tew loads still ta first hsnda Best heavy hogs on sale brought S7A Identical with yesterday's top? while good butcher Block asually moved within t7Otr7.1i. Bacon weights eieared from 7 OS downward, valuta covering la un certain rang. ' During the week the trade haa bees working steadily higher until current sales show net sdvknces of 4MrS0n over pricea a week, ago. Improvement has been partly due to an urgent demand for bog In the east, considered stuff beuig bought locally for shipment. !. a... A. ss. rr. Ns a, la. Pr. ' ..4 M 19 n m . SI ..ih .

Peck, conqueror of alti tudes. Is back from South America after having unfurled and planted the yellow pennant of the Joan af Are But (taaa league of New Tork on on of the flv Icy summlU of Corunpuna in southern Peru, estimated to tower 22.500 feet above sea level. Miss Peck said she left New Tork oa June I for Colon and went thence across the Isthmus of Panama to Peru. , Her chief object wa te scale Corunpuna, sup posed at one time to be the highest moun tain In South America, but really lacking that distinction by several hundred feet Miss Peck waa accompanied by a Ger man mountain guide, Carl Volkman, and, as she said, a "gentleman of Peru and tour half-breed Peruvians." She left the little village of Vlraco for tha mountain peaks on Monday. She said she could not remember the exact data as shs bad all her notes locked up In her trunk, but that It was some time before Prof. Hiram Bingham of Tale made the ascent ot th mountain In October last "I am a cautious climber,' Miss Feck said, "and I did not hurry toward my goal, knowing the folly of haste. I had trouble with the half-breed guides, wha are very superstitious. "After wa had got well above th snow Una which we reached on th second day, they began to talk about turning back. I exhorted them not to leave me, appeal ing to their vanity and telling them that the glory would be theirs It they took me to th summit They talked about the tradition that men going above a cer tain altitude on the mountain would be turned to atone, anl even tt this did not happen, which I assured them waa tra posrlble, as I bad been above that height on South American mounuins with na tives who never bad been petrified, they might be gobbled up by a monster at tbs top of tha mountain. I told them tt waa Impossible for me to make tha summit without their help and that I was de pending oa them. Then they gathered themselves together bravely and ww went on. "The perils of th ascent were less than those I encountered oa Mount Huas caraa. Tha half-breeds said I was tha first person they had ever heard of who had make as effprt to reach the top, I should say the tops, for there are fire peaks of about equal height of Corun puna. I wore no woollen mask, as I did oa Huascaran, as the -winds were less bitter. I merely bad a silk cloth over my face. The treses snow, glacler-llka was about MS feet deep. "We went up the west side of tha range and came down by the east side. I took a hysometer to determine the altitude. Nobody ta the village from which ws went knew Corunpuna's altltuds above tha sea, ss It was difficult for ma. ts determine exactly the height of the peak we reached, but it waa more thaa 22. ICS feet above ses level. The barometer of Prof. Bingham showed a height of 22.59s. We were one week reaching the summit and spent two nights above aa altitude of SS.OOS feet.
