Issued by the Kansas immigration and information association . ving and enterprising city atthe mouth of the Kaw has been without a parallel inthe history of the country. They are the model yards of the United States, and as a stock market rank second only in the country in magnitudeand amount of business, being exceeded only by those in Chicago. They were first opened for business in 1871, and during that year but 166car-loads of live stock were brought to the market. The natural advantages of the location of these yards, the vast territory which is now andwill forever remain dependent upon them for a market for their live stock, assure them a bright future, and will enable them to maintain thesupremacy they have already attained. The total of all kinds of stock received at this center in 1894 was but a few thousands less than 5,000,000head, valued at the enormous sum of .$98,500,000. Their business is rapidly increasing, and it is not a boastful prediction to assert that in a fewyears they will be the leading stock market of the world. (ii >. w. A.
