CATTLE No fresh cattle here today to make a market, but the receipts for the week have been very liberal, being hnnl on a nr with laiit week, but as compared with a year ago there has been a heavy railing on in ins run. Strictly good beef steers, both cornfeds and grass rangers, have been In good dnmand throughout the week and free sellers e.very day. At the close of tho week they are strong as compared with last week's close. During the week one bunch of grass rangers sold at $9.60, the htrhent nrtcn ever nald un any market for grass beef. Common to fair kinds are 25c lower lor tne week. Cows and heifers broke badly during the early part of the week, but a part of this loss was recovered later on so that at the close of the week the best eradaa are very nearly steady with the close of last week. The demand for feeding cows has been so good through out the week that common grades have also remained steady all the week. On the other hand the medium kinds of killers are a little lower than last week and about 75c$1.00 lower than tne ex treme high point two weeks ago. Stockers and feeders have been In very good demand throughout the week and have been free sellers every day. Prices under free buying have gradually firmed ud until at the close are around 15u25o higher bo far as the good grades at least are concerned.

The principal features of this week's trade were larger receipts and an Im provement In prices when compared with the close of last week. In all. about 95.660 head were placed on the market. This exceeds last week's receipts by 45.000 head and Is about head more than for the corresponding tlmo a year ago. For tunately there was a good active demand on most days for desirable killers and In consequence the tone or tne general mar ket was strong. Good to choice lambs are now selling tu&25c higher than prices pre vailing at the end of last week. Most of tho fair to good lambs were picked up by feeder buyers. There continues to be a small percentage of fat sheep coming to market, tnere ceing scarcely enough on some days to properly try out values. Prices on fat sheep are generally steady with a week ago. Feeding stock was In strong demand and the market was better supplied than at any other time since the opening of the range season. Numerous country buyers were In evidence almost every day and considerable trading was done. On the first day of the week prices d sopped a little and raised again on Wednesday, only to take another decline at Ui week-end. leaving the market about steady wl'h the close of last week. In the neighborhood of 48,300 head were reported- as bought for feeding purposes. This Is about 32.0 head in excess of the output during the previous week; Quotations on sheep and lambs: Lambs, good to choice. $6.5006.76; lambs, fair to good. $6.30$6.50; lambs; feeders, 95.Wie.3K: yearlings, good to choice light, $4.90tf5O6; OMAHA GENERAL MARKET.

BUTLER SAYS TAX IS FAIR: Superintendent of Accounts Answers Subway Ordinance Critics. 25-MHI RATE NOT OPPRESSIVE Citizen Cslna- Nearly Two Thonsand Square Feet Pays Only Little Over Two Hundred Dol lars a Year. Bryan Plays Safe in Missouri Talk , Though William J. Bryan was billed to talk politics at a chautauqua at Grant City, Mo., he avoided politics and talked about "The Prince of Peace," according to Joseph W. Marrow. Mr. and Mrs. Mar row have returned from Grant City and Excelsior Springs, where they spent their vacation. "That was a strong Champ Clark ter ritory," said Mr. Marrow, "and I guess Bryan thought he had better avoid poll tics. It was advertised widely that he would discuss the Chicago and Baltimore conventions, but when he took the plat form he i said he would talk on whatever the people wanted and they voted for his lecture, 'Th9 Prince of Peace.' They arc pretty sore down there because they think Bryan beat Clark out of the nomi nation. They are prosperous and pretty j well satisfied with present conditions, too, and I look for them to vote for Taft." BRANDEIS' BIG CORPORATIONS ARE TO BE REORGANIZED Important business has called Arthur D. Brandels, head of the big Brandela in terests; east for a week or ten days. It Is said that a reorganization, or rather a separation, of the real estate holdings and mercantile establishment is in progress, a new corporation to be formed to take over all of the real estate which includes the Brandels building, the Brandels theater building, the old Bran dels store, the Courtney building, the American theater and the two new struc tures in course of erection on Douglas street , When this is brought about Mr. Bran dels will devote his attention exclusively to the big stores, and supervision of the realty company' will devolve upon John L. Kennedy. Mr. Brandels is said to be also negotiating the sale of his farm and poultry ranch northwest of the city.

Herald was in plain clothes- and only his promptness in disclosing his identity saved htm. Criticism of the proposed sub-sidewalk tax and of the present 2hi per cent tax upon subways and areaways privately used Is based upon misunderstanding of these taxes, according to Dan B. Butler, superintendent of accounts and finance. "The present tax is not extortionate." said Mr. Butler, "nor would the proposed tax be so. The proposed ordinance sim ply would require a tax from those per sons usTng space under sidewalk only, while under the present ordinance the tax Is paid only by persons who use space additional to that under walks. The proposed ordinance would make the tax apply from lot line to lot line in stead of curb line to curb line. "The present tax Is not extortionate nor burdensome and does not penalize meTl for being in business in Omaha. "Under ordinance No. 69S9, passed No vember 26, 1909, section 4 provides that all persons shall pay a tax of 25 mills or 2H per cent per annum for all space used for an areaway or subway connecting two or more buildings. . "This tax is figured on the assossed valuation of abutting property, based on tho number of square feet occupUM by areaway or subway; provided, however, that when any such areaway or subway shall connect with a building located upon more than one lot the assessed value of all the lots covered by such building shall be taken, Instead of only that of the abutting lot, and when the structure connects two or more lots on opposite sides of any street, alley, or public ground the assessed value of th? abutting 1U or lots, If such structure connects with a building located upon more than one lot on each side, shall be taken to the center of such street alley, or public ground; provided that the. mlnl mum charge shall be at least $20 per annum. "For example; Assessed value of lot $40,000.00 4.59 4.00 1,845.00 8.468.55 211.71 Assessed value per square foot. Assessed) value per square foot... Public ground occupied in square feet .
