The supply of beef steers of desirable quality has been very moderate all the week, while there has been a good buy Ing demand. In consequence of this the market 011 the better grades of cattle at the close of tne week is fully steady and if anything strong as compared with thr close of lust week. On the other hand the medium to common kinds have been in liberal supply and they are steady to possibly a little lower. Cows and heifers have been in large supply all the week, but at the same time there has been a good demand for the best killers and for canners. As a re sult these two widely different grades of cattle have commanded steady prices. On the other hand, the in-between kinds 01 cattle, that is, cattle that were neithei strictly good killers nor canners, have been slow and are 1520o lower than a week ago. A very large proportion of all the cat tle coming has been made up of stockers and feeders. Fortunately there has been a very good demand and the desirable kinds have remained fully steady throughout the week and In addition to that have been active sellers on most days. On the other hand . the lnferioi grades and less doslrable kinds have not been in such active demand and by rea son of the large supply have gradually eased off, being slow to a little lower.

HOGS There was apparently a gooa outlet for the bulk of today's very fair run of hogs. Trade began early and was active most of the morning, with prloes ruling anywhere from steady to a nickel higher. Business transacted during the first rounds was largely on a strong to ba higher basis, with practically only the packers and speculators as competitors,' the shiDU ng demand amounting w lime or nothing. Unlike yesterday the trend of prices as noted above wag higher rather than lower and as the morning advanced trade eased off a little, instead of im proving. Bulk of the offerings were dis posed of during the middle of the mar ket on a level a shade higher than yes terday, the closing sales showing all the early advanoe lost and possibly a little weakness compared with yesterday's best time. Trade at the wlndup was somewhat slow in comparison with the opening. Bulk of the hoits sold around Ui.tfxiis.7u. with a load of best hogs on sale bringing 18. xo, top for the day, and a nickel higher than yesterday's best prices. Receipts foot ud about 67 cars or $.921 head, as against 2,if.O last Saturday, 3,2x3 two weeks ago and 6,530 head on the corresponding day a year ago. The supply of hogs for the - week anicAints to 29,466 head, as against 25,280 head last week, 28,899 head two weeks ago and 27,043 head for the same time last year. Prices today average about lo30c lower than the end of last week, bulk then selling around $3. 858.96, compared with $S,65i&7& this morning. Top price lost Saturday was $8.96, as against a top of $8.80 today. Last week prices grad ually worked up, while this week prices have fallen. 8HEKP There were not enough sheep or lambs on the market to afford a test nf values, and in consequence values re- mam nominally tne same as yesterday. Ver yactlve trade and much higher prices were the outstanding features of the market on fat sheep and lambs dur ing the current week. While the supply has been the lightest In a month the de mand for anything that would do " for kill ers was apparently greater, mostly all the offerings meeting with a ready sale. The advanoe In prloes was most sudden since the erratic market in fed stuff early last spring. Killing lambs made a leap of 35c In one day, and now are fully 75c higher than a week ago, and In some casea as much as a dollar higher. Fat ewes soared equally as high as Iambs, present values showing about the same advance. While the best wethers sold around $3.90(4.10 a week ago, a bunch on Tuesday brought $4.60, and another one sold as high as $4.60 on Wednesday. What fat yearling were here showed an Im provement around ' 25S5c. Few, if any wethers or yearlings, were In evidence during the latter part of the week. Tak ing the sorts into consideration prices on killers are even higher than they appear on paper, as the packer buyers made very small sorts, compared with last week. ' While feeders in general show an ad vance. It is not nearly so marked as on killers. Feeding lambs show little if any Improvement over a week ago, while feed ing ewes and yearlings are about 25S5c higher. Wethers are strong compared with a week ago. The best lambs weigh ing around 65 pounds or more sell around $6.156.30. Light and medium weight hearers are in best demand and are sell ing relatively higher than the heavier kinds. According to packers' account around 49.199 head of sheep and lambs were bought as feeders as against 85,693 head the week previous. Receipts for the week foot up about 101,439 head, as against 148,048 last week. Kansas City Live Stock Market. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 19.

As late as twenty years ago he was a press operator, being employed by the old United Presa He copied from one of the fastest press wires in the country without the aid of a typewriter, which' today Is considered the only proper way of transcribing the telegraphic signals. At one time he was the only telegrapher employed by the company now known as the Western Union In Omaha He at that time worked under Edward Rosewater, later editor of The Omaha Bee, who was manager of the Pacific Mutual company In Omaha. The face of Major Harris was a familiar one around the Omaha Board of Trade and Grain exchange for the last twenty years. His Judgment was considered good by many speculators and not a few of them refused to place orders without consulting him. The personal appearance of Harris, despite his age, was, always the best. He wore a heavy, but well kept beard, the whiteness of which added to the dignified appearance of the old fellow. He had a cheerful word for everybody, and if he bad an enemy no body ever knew of It Key to the Situation Bee Advertising.
