Beat steers hava shown comparatively l!Uk change during the week. Theis has, In fact, been vciy much of a sameness to the trade for some days back. Receipts have been liberal, and while buyers have taken everything coming, their require ments have nut been sutllcb-ntly urgent to put any snap into the market. Heme the trade has been Blow and uninteresting from day to day. At tlte end of the week prices are practically in the same notches as one week ago. What has been said regarding beef steers would apply euL'ally well to the market on cows und heltera. While buyers huve ap parently wanted everything coming, the receipts have been fully euual to their re quirements and they have not been f ireed i into active buying through fear of not be ing able to fill orders. Buyers have seem ingly been in a position where they c uld , afford to take their time and according y have workeil leisurely all the week.

As Is apt to be the case when the more urgent orders are filled, th4 market eased oft and the close was not quite so good. There were a good many light hog among the receipts today, and taking that fact Into consideration prices were fully 5c higher than yesterday As will be noted from the sales below the most of the hogs sold at tU.WjtS 8iVt, with a very liberal sprinkling at $U.ts6 and a top as high as $ti.9o. It will be remembered that yesterday over half of all the hogs sold at $6,774. 1 The receipts of hogs have been light this week, showing a heavy falling oft as compared with the previous week and with a year ago. in suite or tnat ract, however. fiackers have been pretty bearish and dur ng the early purt of the week hammered prices, but without any very great results The low point of the week was touched on Tuesday, when the hogs sold 24U6c lower than the close or tne previous week. Since Tuesday the tendency of the market has been upward, so that at the close of the week the average market is a big 5c higher than It was an last Saturday. A notable feature of the market Is thj absence of sharp fluctuations. The highest point touched so far this month was on the first, when the hogs on an average suld at $6.86. On the other hand, the lowest point was on Tuesday of this week, when the average price was $6 724, showing only 124o as tho extreme range between the high and low days for the month thus far.

I Have at Last the Greatest Invention of This Century. I Can Double the Earning Capacity of Any Steam or Electric Railway in Existence. It will remodel the whole railroad business. There Is not a railroad In this country but that will sooner or later be compelled to adopt my system, because It Is faster, safer, and more economical In oper ation than any other system. I absolutely control the next great step forward In the railroad world In my patents. Why? rwaurs steam has run Its limit! Steam cannot run a train 100 miles an hour and keep It up. The trolly and present third-rail systems cannot be depended upon for long distances. Their motors are likely to burn out any minute. With my system I can run a train any distance In any kind of weather, without a hitch or breakdown, 80 to 200 miles an hour, with perfect safety. By my system. If a wheel broke or a rail broke, the cars would stay exactly In position on the track. They could not do otherwise. They could not jump the track at any speed. It would be Impossible to run my cars off the end of a track Into a river Where a bridge Is open. My car would stop Itself even If the leverman was asleep. I know this whole system to be a success, becati se I have tried it for two years. Purine that time millionaires have tried to get control of my system, but I would not let them, because I preferred to protect my own and the other stockholders' Investments. Charles T. Terkes offered me $100,000 If I would throw my Invention on the scrap-pile and ?orut It. He did not want to be compelled to chance his old cable system. Wall street capitalists have made five different attempts to gain control over the Leffler Klectrlc Sys tem, and Wall street generally knows a good thing when they seo It. I could not afford to lot these big moneyed Interests get control. I preferred to go to the smaller Investors, to the people who -vant to make good, safe and sure Investments. I have therefore hound myself to this company, and to every slock holder, that I will personally see to It that every man and woman who makes an Investment In this com pany will get a square deal. This Is a square deal from start to flnlbh. Hugo Melchoir, Barber Supplies. L. A. Borshelm of Brown & Borshelm. Robert Nlcoll, Thompson, Belden & Co. J. P.

To prove that you will get a squire deal I have had t!)e following contract printed on the back of exiry certificate All or any shares of the capital stock cf the Xiefiler Electrlo Systom will be redsemed at par or face value up to, ana Including- the 10th day of Mny, A. D., 1933, upon written notice properly riven to said Company at its executive office la Chicago, Illinois, in a manner and form as provided by its by-laws, and adopted by a majority of the stock holders of this Company, so that all stock so offered for redemption, within any given period, may share equally and proportionately. Kowevar, the stock of this Company is only redeem able from funds received, or to he re ceived, as royalties from railroad com panies nslng the patents of this com pany under Uoenss, and after proper notloe as aforesaid, which may bs re ceived from stockholders direct, or from snoh of said railroad companies as have i-acelved said stock In payment for transportation or otherwise, PRO VIDED, HOWEVEB, no stock shall bs redeemed until after May 10th, 1909, except at the option of this Company, This Contract Means that out of the royalties paid by railroad companies using my system this company will pay you full faoe value for ovevy share of stock you buy. It means that If you bought 100 shares at the present price you would be nole tn get at least $1,000 by turning your certi ficate of stock In to us, to be paid from royalty money In our treasury. I don't think you will ever want to sell, because of the enormous dividends we will pay. But If you should be compelled to sell, your certificate would , then be worth its full face value. This mnkes it absolutely Impossible for any stockholder to be frozen out of the company.

While receipts have been decidedly larger this week than a year ago, they have been none too large to supply the very good de mand that has prevailed throughout the six days. In fact, It would appear that buyers have not been able to secure as many strictly good killers as they could ure and everything answering that de scription, both sheep and lmbs, has sold quickly on arrival at vtry satisfactory prices. In fact, the tendency througnoi.t the week has been upward on the lies; grades, as will be noted by couiparin. present prices with those ot a wek ag especially these puld for ewes and lamli As a nutter of course the quality ha., been getting better, which would naturall make some difference with the prices. A feature ot the week's trade worthy of notice is the weakness prevailing In the market for common to medium kinds of killers, which have had a downward ten dency, while the better grades have bee"n strengthening up. The only thing that has prevented the less desirable kinds from Belling decidedly lower was the fact that the demand on the part of the packers was so gdod that they were forced to take practically everything coming In order to fill orders. It will be understood from this that the sheep and lamb market is in a gool healthy condition. ntlrely satisfactory to the selling Interests. The only thing for shippers to do Is to hold back their stuff until It Is thoroughly fattened and ready for market. If this policy Is pursued there Is no danger but what present high price for gooil kinds will contlnu-.

Dear Sir: As a patent and mechanical expert I have been greatly Interested in your claims for the Lefller Electric System, and realizing Its enormous vilue If properly protected by Letters Patent, I made an exhaustive Investigation of your patents In the U. S. I'atent Office. The result has convinced me that you have an absolute monopoly in what Is ...... to revolutionize tho railways of this and other countries. The tllvld'Mil pos sibilities f your company are almost Incomprehensible, controlling as you do prac tically BASIC patents. It Is my opinion that you have a public necessity, and as a patent man I know that you have a monopoly In its exploitation. The value of tho patents cannot be overestimated. Altogether, from my knowledge of patent and mechanical matters, and what I know of the possibilities of your system, I would sav that, not only is your company rather under capitalized, but at the present price will rrove Indeed a shrewd invest ment. Therefore, kindly send me subscription blanks. Very truly yours, JOHN AMBLER SMITH. Secretary and Treasurer. LtfrYIS COMPANY Twelve days later If r.

Points to Remember About the leffler System Taking the PlCJ of Present Steam Railways. It does away entirely with locomo tives, heavy motor cars, electric engines and all other similar heavy and tpen slve machines. A speed of 80 to 200 miles an hour can be regularly reached and main tained for any distance. Runs winter and summer alike. Not affected by Ice, snow, grease, dirt, sleet rain or any other weather condltlm. ' Less than one-quarter of the fuel is needed. Trains can be started and stopped Quicker than by any other syscom and miuuui uiscoimori to passengers, Power-houses can be placed 200 r apart. miles No brakes are required. The stopping is done by reversing the current. There Is no flattening of the wheels and consequent Jogging of the cars wheels do not grind on the rails lo start trains, hence no holes and depressions are made. It la easier on the roadbed nnd cars, and practically no repairs will bo needed. Points to Remember About This System lor Street Railways. There are no overhead wires, no thirl rail, no slot In the street, no under ground trolley, no obstruction In the street. Can be run faster, safer, easlor and more comfortably than any othr sys tem known. It Is cheaper to operate, uses a half less fuel at power-house. Is cleaner, surer and quicker In operation than any other. Cannot be stopped by sleet nr snow storms, rain, ice, grease, dirt or any other similar obstruction on the track. It cannot produce eloctrolysts on water pipes or conduits In streets, which Is now such a heavy expense to cities under the trolley. It cannot interfere with any other electric wires, requires less urre.it than other systems and develops tcreat er power. It Is all controlled by one lever, and is always under the most absolute con trol anywhere, and under all conditions. It Is noiseless, since there ere no gearings, motors or other machinery to grind, squeuk or rattle. There are no "burn-outs" of motors, because there are no motors to turn out. It is Impossible for man or l-ait lo get a shock from an electric current. I WILL BUY 1000 t'nlon Cobs, ko- iooo ooMa.ia cooung flnliig. too Mm.
