i Cattle Receipts were- unusually, large,
soma 13.000 'head being report 3d In against
6,600 last Monday, and 2,400 on the -same
day last year. It was largely a run of beef
(he bulk of the offerlnga being fair to pretty
good steers, and on the early rounds both
packers and shippers were picking up de
sirable offerings at not far from steady
prices. Owing to the liberal receipts, how
ever, bids were generally lower on the less
attractive tattle, and after urgent orders
had been filled the market was lower all
around. Cows and belfera ruled lower from
the atart as supplies were larger than the
demand called for. and only the more de
sirable offerings brought anywhere near
steady figures. Steady to luo lower would
about cover the situation tn beef steers and
butcher , stock. Supplies of stackers and
feeders ' were .comparatively small, and
prices msch ths same as toward the close
ef last week, '

LAST INCREMENT
FOR FIRST DRAFT
Balance of Quota Called, for
February 23; Omaha:
Boards Have Furnished
More Than Necessary.
Washington, Feb. 4. Frovoit
Marshal General Crowder today an
nounced that the movement of the
last Increments of the men selected
in the first draft will begin on Feb
ruary 2J and continue for a period of
five days. This will complete the
operation of the first draft, as all
states will have turntsnea meir iuu
quotas. .
The movement will bring the
strength of the national army up to
the 685,000 men contemplated in the
first draft , . .
The number ot men which will be
started .to the cantonments on Feb
ruary 23 are:
Camp Devens, Mass., 6,575; Upton,
N. Y., 7,500; Dix, N. J., 7.000; Meade,

Funston. Kan., 2,332; Travis, Tex,
7,558; Pike, Ala., 2,000, (negroes.) ;
Beside the regular, oortion contribu
tory to Camps Devens and Upton,
New York will send to the former
2,521 men and to the latter 4,287 men.
which were to have gone to Camp
Dix. The reason given for the change
is that there is more room for them at
Camrs Devens and Upton. ;
West Virginia will send 1,520 men
to Camp Meade instead of Camp Lee.
Des Moines, la., Feb. 4, Mobilixa
tion at Camp Dodge of the remain
der of Iowa's quota of the first- na
tional army was ordered today by the
War department in the five-day period
beginning February 23. : Approxi
mately 6300 men are affected. ,
Simitar instructions were sent to
Minnesota, Illinois and North Da
kota, as these states have not sent
their final increments to, Camp Dodge.
Local exemption boards have re
ceived no notification of the call for
the last increment to complete the
first draft. - Since calling the last in
crement the majority of Omaha
boards have sent men who failed to
report in time to leave with their con
tingent or were granted a furlough,
and it is believed enough of these men
were sent to fill the Qmaha quota.
