There were ever M ears oa sale aad th
Cieas mrket was aoo to good, all
of which worked asalnat the nlng ta
torasu and gave burers aa opportiialty
to bear th merket. Th raw martet
started out la fatoly good abas and sales
were made st right around steady price.
As th moraine sdvaaced, hewever, th
market seemed to wsaken. At no Una
was trading as aetlv as was the ease
yesterday and th market lacked th ton
and snap of yesterday. The downward
tendency the steer market is naturally
bavin a desevsalna effect upon the t eid
er trade, bat, as' the supply at this point
hs beea United, prices bare held up in
good shape Anything chote that has not
been on corn meets with ready sale at
very aattaYactory prlcea, but there are so
few ot that kind ot cattle coming that
warmed-up cattle are sailing better for
feeders than fer beef.
Hogs There was another fairly liberal
run, bat the sanrket opened a shade
stronger. One thing, however, that make
the market look better today la tbe (act
that there were a number pf prime heavy
hogs her today which were considerably
better In quality than anything received
yesterday. The bulk of the early sales
went from SLffU to tt.Wi. snd ss hlch
ss HI was paid. The heavy boga sold
mostly st K. snd 9iXM. snd the light
and medium welghta at .t7i and fa.
Sheep There was not a very heavy run
here, and receipts were composed largely
pf ewes and lambs, very few wethers be
ing offered. The ewes were In fairly good
dmand and -sold at steady to strong
prices, as high aa H.7S being paid. The
lamb market, however, was very slow.
3d packers did not seem to be at sll
anxious for more supplies this week. The
feeling was very weak and not much
changed hands until late in the day.

The promoters of the conservstlvs

following paragraph:
"We confess to being distinct from
some of those men who are co-operating
with the American government
in peace in that particular wblch re
fers to the maintenance against re
strictions snd exactions of our pro

of peace subject to a compliance with
tbe conditions which would lead to
a point whence there is so outlet
We believe there is no better means
of perpetuating it than sn absolute
