The run of cattle was comparatively light and sheep supplies were fair, but receipts of hogs were decidedly heavy. So far this week, compared with last, there has been a falling off of about 2,300 cattle, a slight in crease in sheep and a gain of nearly 3,500 hogs. Receipts of cattle were fully 1,000 lighter than a week ago today and the ofterings included lots of very desirable beeves, both heavy and light. A lght supply at Chicago and a higher market there created a firmer tone here and the market ruled active and higher right from the start. Dressed beef men all wanted some cattle and they met with active competition from speculative shippers and export buyers. Sellers had little difficulty in obtaining prices fully a dime bigher than Monday for desirable steers of all weights and anything at all useful could casily be moved at substantially stronger prices. Business was lively from start to finish and trading was practically over by the middle of the forenoon. y The supply of cows and mixed stock was light, only four or five loads, and the trade was lively as far as it went at steady (o a shade stronger prices’for what the beef men wanted. Canners sold in the usual ruts. Calves were in fair demand and firm and bulls, oxen and stags sold freely at about steady prices. Business in stockers and fecders was tol- erably active. There continues to be e very fair demand from the country and vegular dealers are taking more interest in the market than for some time lately. Prices show very little improvement, however, and it takes prime stock to bring over $3. Goud to cholce feeders are quoted at from §3 tc $3.30, fair to good at from $2.76 to $3, and the commoner grades at from $2.75 down Representative sales: 0 370 SHIPPING AND L1020 360 40... 3 4060 b 16...1206 3 ¢ 400 B201268 400 240001320 405 4,021 400 MIXED. 10....1962 30 100 010 1330 1.:01200 0z 1o 1030 10. 1 64 2 a L6852 0 (et 28 908 2 305 20;55S 285 801 2 315 7., UT 285 574 2 315 ... 603 285 963 2 HOGS—Conditions still favor the.free mar- keting of hogs, and Tuesday’s big supply was exceeded by a few hundred head today. The quality was very good as a rule, fully up to the recent average. Although reports from the east were generally favorable, the heavy supply made buyers independent and early trading was largely at steady to strong prices, $4.50 to $4.55 for fair to good hogs regardless of welght. Active competition livened business up as the morning advanced and the same hogs sold freely later at $4.556 to $4.60, or a nickel higher than Tuesday, the market closing up active and strong at this advance. The popular price was $4.55, the big bulk of the hogs going at that price, against $4.50 and $4.55 on Tuesday and one week ago today. Representative sales: N'n. A“:'u. Av‘.

At 1 o'clock yesterday morning a call was recelved at police headquarters to send the patrol wagon to the Twenty-second street power house to remove a woman who had made an unsuccessful attempt to Kill her- self by taking ehloroform. The woman was Mrs. Anna Ray, and her home 1s at 1111 North Fourteenth street, Offtcer Stiles who patrols Cuming street was passing Twenty-third when he saw the woman stretched at full length in the gut- ter, The rain was pouring down upon the prostrate form in torrents. With one hand she was endeavoring to drag herself from the mud and slush, and with the other she held the remnants of & broken umbrella. The officer tried to have her explain who she was and what she was doing there at that hour in such a condition, The woman was mud from head to foot. The officer halled @ passerby, and together they re- moved her to the motor power house, where Dr. Saville was called, It was evident she had taken sometliing, for she appeared to be in great agony. After a couple of hours' hard work she was brought to her senses. She sald her husband told her he did not love her any more, and this being the case she had no further desire to live. She said she drank some chloroforr She was taken home. The house where she lives along with the man she calls hus- band I one of the most wretched hovels down along the railroad tracks and ware- houses in the vicinity of Fourteenth and Nicholas streets. The moment the officers opened the door the stench from within nearly stifled them. A man was in the act of getting Into bed. He claimed to be her husband, and sald she would receive, as she always had, good care. Mrs, 7 Children Cry Pitcher's Castoria. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.
