CATTI.K Reoipta of cattle this morning
trrTOTtateljr'Were quite moderate after the
excessive run of yesterday, eo that the
market waa given a little breathing apcll
and an opportunity to recover aomewhat.
There did not appear to be very many
desirable beef steers on sale this morning.
either corn-fede or western rangers. There
waa very good demand on the part of
packers and while prices were probably
no higher than yesterday the feeling If
anything waa a trifle better.
Cows and helfera moved off a little more
freely than yesterday and while the gen
eral market waa quoted only steady there
were spots that looked strong.
The better gradea of feeders, that la
cattle having both weight and quality, com
manded firm prices and were free sellers.
Unfortunately 76 per oent of the receipts
consisted of the less desirable kinds, which
are slow sellers every day.

SHEEPi-Recelpta of sheep were very lib
eral this morning, but the supply of desir
able killers was not overly lajge. There
were a few good wethers, but nothing In
the way of choice lambs, the great bulk of
all the arrivals consisting of feeders.
The situation aa re sards killers waa just
about the same as dot a tied yesterday; that
Is, there was a very fair demand on the
part of local packers, but a general feeling
among the buyers that killers at this point
are too high as compared with eastern
markets. Still, Just as was the case yes
terday, buyera were forced to pay the
? rices because of the light supply. While
here were no choice lambs to put a toil
on the market, pretty decent killers sold up
to 17.10, with good old wethers and grassers
at $5.60.
The market on feeders waa In very unsat
isfactory condition. U being election day,
oountry buyers had evidently all stayed
home to vote and there was almost no one
In looking for sheep or lambs. As a result
the market was extremely dull from start
to finish, with the feeling unquestionably
lower.

Government Aaked to Provide Fanda
to Prevent Passing; of the
Flaay Delicacy.
That the whlteflsh of the Great Lakes
are passing as rapidly from existence aa
did the millions of bison which at ona
time swarmed the American pralrlea 1
an undlsputable fact, and with the reali
sation that with the departure of th
whlteflsh Industry the United States gov
ernment loses one of Ita most remunerative
Industries, and also one of the most val
uable food products on the market, It la
strongly urged that some remedy bo
adopted at once.
A man prominently connected with one
of the government flah hatcheries and
who Is well Informed on the question of
fish culture and propagation atated that
the one and only successful remedy Is to
promptly Increase the capacity of the
various hatcheries.,
The government should be willing to
expend ten times the amount of money
It now does on the propagation of the
whlteflsh," said the hatchery man, "be
cause the whlteflsh la the most valuable
frceh-watcr fish known, and. even exoeeda
the value of salmon t60 per ton in the
eastern markets, while considerable more
la paid out yearly for the. Pacific coast
hatcheries.
"And then, too," he continued, "30,000
more whlteflsh eggs can be handled in
the1 aame space taken by salmon eggs."
To Illustrate the seriousness of thu Im
pending whlteflsh destruction, the follow
ing figures, which are correct in every
instance, were given out for publication:
The retch of whlteflsh In Michigan In
1891 waa 8, lid, 000 pounds, while In 1904
It fell off to 4.197,000 pounds. In Lake
Krle the catch for 1889 waa 3,300,000
pounds, and In 1899 it came to 2,100.000
pounds. From 1698 to 1905 the catch In
Ontario decreased from 7,500,000 pound
to 2,895,000 pounds.
The total catch of whlteflsh In the Greai
Lakes on both the American and Cana
dian sides lt 19114 exceeded S.SOO.WIO flidt
averaging two pounds and a half Jn
weight, and the loss of egss contained In
these fish excoeils 35,000,000,000. In 19JS
the combined hatcheries of the United
States and Canada only propagated ih
eggs from less than 10,000 fish, which Is
altogether Inadequate to overcome the
) gresl loss of eggs destroyed by the fis.ioj
! men.
Lake Michigan alone in 1904 gave uil
1 l.ow.coo fish, and It la safe to say thnt
I Lake Erie provided l,CO0,000 of the flnuy
I tribe, au aa to overcome this los the
j -gga of fully 75,000 nh should be pro;.-
ngattd each year. ' '
' A three-pound whlt?flsli yields over .
i 001 eggs, but if tltes.) only So per c vu
hatch, and only 4 pel ce;it of ihee reach
maturity that la, 4 years old. '
L&at year the American and Canadian
hatcheries propagated less than 'JW.uOo.l")
fry, while the number of tip In fish
caufht was 36.0UO,(00,000. '
Forty years ago the citeh of srhitellsh'
la the Detroit river on th Amr!ran ald!
alorie exceeded l.O.OoO pounds annually,
while In later years the combined eat.-p
of both the American and Canadian anj.."
only amount to 35,CuO pouruls.Dctri.lt Free
