MARKET LETTER From Our Regular Kansas City Stock Yards Correspondent Kansas City Stock yards,Nov,HO. The influence which the turning of the popular appetite to poul trv and game during turkey week everted itself with increasing ef fect after the middle of last week and the market closed dull, and 20 to 30c below the good prices paid Monday. Stockers and feed ers sold uneven during the week, but held the advance fairly well, shipments to the country 550 cars loads, a big week. The ports of New York and Pennsylvania are closed to export cattle, account of the foot and mouth disease in those states, and this is injuring the export trade somewhat, more at the Northern markets than elsewhere. There should be a good demand this week for Christ mas cattle for the London mar ket, as well as during the next the next two weeks for fancy cat tle for the domestic trade. The run today is light at all points, 12,000 head here, steers and cows 10 to 15 higher, stockers and feeders 10 to 20 higher, calyes 25 to 50 higher. Top steers today sold at $6.35, fed westerns at $(,.10, whereas, strictly prime steers would sell at $7.25to $7.50. Top last week was $<,.80- llulk of fed steers range from $5.25 to $(,.50, cows $2.25 to $4.75, heifers $3 to $5.50, bulls $2.40 to $4, calves $3.50 to $(,.50. Good strings of range stockers and i feeders continue to arrive, about 75 loads of Colorados here today, and a good run from New Mex ico, good feeders selling at $4 to $4.<>5, stockers $3.75 to $4.35, medium to trashy stockers $2.75 to $3.50. This will be about the last week for range cattle in any numbers. The hog market made some i big losses last week, but closed with some show of strength, in i spite of the net loss of 15 to 2<)c [during the week. The run is 11. 1000 here today, market opened 5 to 10 higher, top $.5.00, bulk $5.55 to $5.85. The close today was weak, but movements of buyere point to a latent strength in the sKuation. Average weight is increasing and proportion of heavy hogs is greater Novemerb receipts here are greatest on rec ord for November at 35<>,000 head which is nearly 80 per cent more than same month last year. Total receipts for the year 1008 at Kan sas City will aggregate half a million head more than in any previous year, not excepting the drouglit year, 1001. The sheep and lamb market was uneven last week, but closed at the highest point. Kun is j 10,000 head here today, market strong to 10 higher, best lambs at $5.35, highest price this fall, fed yearlings worth up to $5.40, wethers $4.75, ewes $4.40, ined' ium class stuff considerably be low these figures.

EXPERTS WILL HELP FARMERS Institutes. Mass Meetings and Prac tical Demonstrations Congressman Pollard of the First Nebraska district, lias com pleted plans for carrying oil the ! agricultural institute work i ii augurated by him some time ago. Another series of institutes will be held in the district this winter, with mass meetings at which a I good roads expert and a Washing ton official who has specialized in farm management will make ad dresses. The institutes and mass meetings for the farmers will he held as follows: Waverly, Lancaster county,Dec. 26. Johnson, Nemaha county, Dec. 28. Tecnmseh, Johnson county,Dec. 2!>. Humboldt, Richardson county, Dec. JO. Pawnee City, Pawnee county, Dec. 81. Syracuse, Otoe county, Jan 1. Weeping Water, Cass county, Jan. 2, In order that they may not only receive ideas at the institutes, but also may have practical demon strations of improved methods on their own farms. Mr. Pollard asks that fifteen or twenty farmers in each county co-operate with the government during the growing season next summer. Experts from Washington will visit these farms and the neighboring farm ers may gather at the places des ignated and see the workings of the new plans which agriculture S' deuce has perfected. SOMETHING WRONG Statistics Furnished by the Censes Bureau Appalling Statistics furnished by the cen sus bureau show that in the United States between the years 1887 and 1 the number of mar riages was 12,812,044. The num ber of divorces granted during that period was 045,623, or in other words, one divorce was granted for every twelve mar riages. Two-thirds of the divorces were procured by women. Thirty eight and nine-tenths of the divorces were granted on the grounds of desertion, and it ap pears that while about one-half of the divorces granted husbands were upon the grounds of deser tion by the wife, but one-third of the number granted the women were for the same purpose. Adultery, cruelty and drunken ness, in the order named, form the next greatest causes tor di vorces. These figures are a silent com ment upon the laxity of our laws on the divorce question and upon illconsidered marriages. A little more thought before marriage, would lessen the divorce evil, and more strict and uniform laws be tween the states on divorce would also be a much needed reform.
