MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yards Correspondent
Kansas City Stock yards, Oct. 5
11H1S. -Cattle receipts were mod
erate here last week, 77,000 head,
including 0000 calves and the
market was more satisfactory than
the previous week, prices a little
higher and activity the prevailing
feature. The run today is 30,000
head, almost a record breaker for
this market. The slowness today
is more because of buyers waiting
for arrivals to be yarded than ac
count of lack of demand. Killt rs
have made a remarkable record
here this fall, slaughter of cattle
for September gieatest, on record
for that month, and twenty-six
per cent greater than the same
month last year. In August they
killed fifteen per cent more cattle
than in August last, year. Ship
ments oi stock and feeding cattle
to the country from here since
July 1st are a third short of the
same month last year, and a great
er percentage this year have been
stock steers. Stocker and feeder
market is lower today and there
will be large numbers of stock
and feeding cattle available this
week because of the heavy total
run of cattle, and next week, when
the American Royal Live stock
show will lie held hete, an event
that always draws in a heavy
supply of stock and feeding cattle.
Stockers sell at $5 to $1.25, feed
ejs $3.50 to $1.80.
llog receipts Inst week were
90,000, as compared with -11,000
Bailie week Inst year. The market
lost 92 cents per cwt, during the
week, only natural in view of the
big run. Supply today ie 14,000
top $<>.70, bulk $0.20 to $6,00.
Quality continues much mixed,
with some slight improvements
above a few weeka ago.
Sheep and lambs are coming
freely, September receipts largest
on record for this market for any
month previously and 17 per cent
more than same month last year.
Country buyers took out a normal
number, the surplus going to the
packers. Ran is 12,000 today,
market ten higher top lambs $<5.10
yearlings $4.50, ewes $4.10, feed
ing iambs $4,110 to $4,80, sheep
and yearlings $11.40and $4.lb.

TO DEFEND YANKEE SPARROW
America Will be Taught Virtues of
Its Birds
New York, Oct. 2-- Because not
lone American in a hundred has
been found who knows the differ
ence between the pestiferous
European Blouse sparrow, com
monly known as the English
sparrow, and the intensely valu
I able sparrows native to this coun
try, an edtica i mal campaign is
being launched in this city today
with the object of making every
citizen of the I , S. acquainted
with his feathered compatriots.
Taking as a text the sins of tin1
foreign bird which are visited up
on the head of his innocent Amer
ican cousins, the National asso
ciation of Audubon societies is
planning to establish what may
prove a university of ornithology
for the nation.
The ignorance of the distinction
between the native sparrows and
the injurious species from across
the ocean is causing the wholesale
slaughter of America’s most valu
able bird race lias been proven by
recent investigations of the pro
jectors of this scheme. Great
numbers of the little Yankee
birds, who it has been shown
clear ninety per cent of the weeds
from every garden and field, are
found to be falling before the un
informed ravanger of the ravages
of their cockney cousins. That a
sparrow is a sparrow has been dis
covered to be the unhappy belief
of the great majority of the peo
ple of this country, where the pest
of the English house sparrow is
being more and more resented.
The government authorities
have declared the American spar
row to be of greater value to agri
culture than any other species and
well worthy of protection and en

couragement. Exhaustive seieu
titit* investigation by these experts
have proven that tiie native spar
rows are practically innocent of
consuming any cultivated fruits,
while tiie English sparrow is a
notorious destroyer of buds and
blossoms, grain, fruit and garden
seeds. This imported house spar
row, ntterh unlike ours, is also
guilty of driving away native
birds from their tields of usfful
l ness and in addition is noisy and
filthy, befouling v nes and build
ings. _
Art Exhibit
On October 21-22 there will be
an art exhibit at the Public

hibit of this nature and promises
to be a greater success even than
the former. All arrangements
