Market Report.
KANSAS CI'l'\Mo. , : Monday , Dec.
19 , 1904.-'l'hc total cattle supply
last week was 42,000 head , not
much different from previous ]
wecl Packers claimcd their
coolers were full of mcdium class
beef , whilc the demand was al-
most entirely for stuff that would
c1dSS as HCll1 istnias. i " Very little
really toppy stuff came in , one or
two loads of yearlings at $ ( , .25 ,
and a Iew loads of prime heavy
steers at $5.85 to 8.30 , besides a
few individual steers at $ ( ) .50 to
$7.50.tl'hese were fully stc'dy ,
but the mass of beet steers sold
at 84.00 to S5. 25 , and were called ,
20 to 30 cents lowcr. Good heavy '
cows sold nearly steady , but other
cows and canners lost 25 to 30
ccnts. Cows ranged from $2.25
to $3.50 and good to choice heif-
ers 84 to 85. Veals were firm ,
85.75 to $ ( ) .50 for choice light
oncs. Conditions in fat steer
market were against feeder prices
but demand was enough to take
the limited supply at steady
prices. Stockers also hold steady
and prices ranged from $3.00 to
$3.85 for most of the stockers and
fccders. Cattle run today , ,000
head , market steady to 10 cents
higher applying to all gradc !
With moderate supply market
should hold balance of wcck.
Hogs hung around thc 84.60
mark all last week , for tops , with
medium weight hogs,190 lbs tam
2501b , at 84.45 to 84.55. Market
was higher Saturday , and opened
this morning 5 cents higher , with
a top today.of 84.70 , bulk of sales
$4.45 to $4.65. Receipts dropped
off some last week , and should
they continue light , prices will
no doubt advance , but just now ,
and for a time , at least , the market -
et will depend almost entirely on
the volume of the 5uppl A
short time ago the supply did not
cut any figure , it was simply
that the packers wanted to ham-
mer priccs.-J. A. Hickart ,

Judge Baker Exonerated.
Mention was made in this paper
last week that Judge Benj. F.
Baker formerly of Omaha had
been sumarily removed as supreme ,
justice of New Mexico. Judge
Baker laid his case personally be-
fore the President who ordered it
reopened and upon the final
hearing rescinded his order of re-
moval. Consequently Judge Baker -
er will continue until the end of
his term. It seems that the
charges against Baker were the
:
result of the malice of a political
encmy. Of course that kind of a
fellow would not last long before
President Roosevelt when his
true nature was known.
Immediately after his re-instate-
ment Judge Baker tendered his
resignation , saying that the fact-
ional fight had destroyed his use-
fulness as a Judge. It is under-
stood that he will return to Omaha -
aha to practice law.

Redemption of Marsh.
Hon. G. W. Marsh , at present
secretary of state , quits that
office on January 1 , and will resume -
sume newspaper work. For
many years he was celebrated as
an able and versatile newspaper
man. Carried away by political
enthusiasm and youthful emotion
he consented to run for secretary
of state , and was elected. In
that office he was a distinguished
success , but his friends rejoice to
know that he will turn over a
new leaf on January 1 , and
mould some more public opinion.
It is better to be the editor of a
moral paper than to be the con-
querer of a city.-Saturday Sum-
mary.
