The shipper of livestock during tha
rust week who did not receive the tip-
iop price nns only nimseu to Dinme.
These were the words of a prominent
livestock handler whose many yesrs'
experience In the livestock trade give
mm a piace in livestock circles that en
ables him to tell to a nicety just what
the market nedi.
There was not the sllrhtest bit of
excuse for any shipper of livestock to
receive low prices during the past week,
for the market could scarcely be in bet
ter .anape ror the payment or gooo

entirely the fault of any ah DDer who
received them.

much prefer to pay the highest price
quoted In the market, for It Is ln the
highest-priced goods that the killer
makes his money. There Is so much
waste about poor livestock of any kind
that after It Is dressed It costs the pur
chaser more by long odds than if he
had paid the highest market value.
While shippers certainly understand
this and the reason why packers Insist
upon securing a better class, of stock,
they are not shipping any of the want
ed livestock to market but are sending
instead a poor line of stock something
that the killers already have a suffi

today the advancing movement begun
several days ago. The close was slight
ly under the best figures, but the un
dertone throughout the session was
strong. Material net gains were re
corded ln all active stocka Union Pa
cific, St. Paul and Steel were favor
ites. The metal shares participated ln
the activity. Even the bond market was
Influenced, first-class Issues movlna-

showed a decrease In reserve cash of
about $10,000,000 and a decrease in sur

rather doubtful ln regard to business,
but only a month of campaigning has
Ing to wait patiently. It is quits likely,
however, , that they may worry persons
who attempt to carry them on- narrow
