CATTIA-There was solne lncre'nSO ill the
receipts of cattle today , tllrtre be1l 1.163
hentl , as agatriat 800 yesterday anil L.1O oil
Thursday of last week. Tric CfCeCtb of the
declIne were plainly visible In the reClS ,
there being a hieaV' falling off in foot atee"e ,
especially the kiliI that has StliTCd the
nest shrinkage in values. Today there Were
very few kiliig cattle of any kind In the
yards , shippers eviilc'nthy hJreterrIIlT 10 hold
them back , The great bulk of : tli the ic-
celptmt consisted of feeders and tclc cattle ,
vhmicl : have remaitied tcady ill ipito of the.
break ot : fat cattle. The nIarket imit a whole
was in Very satisfactory onditI0fl , everything -
thing in the yards being soul early and at
better prices.
The Tow beef steers on sale did not lam.t
long Ill ( lie face of an active tlemiiaiiti , the
meager offerings being picked up early filith
at orices ( lint were a itto : : hiili'lr ( ball
yesterilny. The market may be i'nhil to have
recovered about 15o in ( lie two days. Tue
quality of the catte oti all average 'an
none too good , so that tiio sales mliii not
show up so very reli on Impel' . 'l'hero
wore , however , a few steers nid some steers
and heifers mixed ( lint were gooti enough
to bring $3.73. One load of fatley Hereford
steers and helfers rold as high ! : as $3 SI. A
consderabhe pronortion of the catte on nle
brought $3.30j3.JI.
There was not enough butchOrs' stock
litre to make a real teat of ( lie matket , oniy
three or four loads of cows anti hollers be-
iii offered. The buycrie vere out curly and
vei'e not long 1mm clearIng the yards at
prices that were met least lOc higher. Some
of the best cows here , hIll thle' wore not
very extra , sold at $3 23 amid heifers at 'I.55.
'ruicre vero more atocker and feeders In
( he yards than for some da:1 , a targe : ) ro
oortmon of ( ho receipts beimg mmiotrl. Um Cf
that kind of cattle. Quite a good imnny of
them were westerns of gold wegOite. 'l'Iie
market was active and fully 9t'11td5' ? .mi .
everything changed hands hatore the ehosl.
The light stock catte continue to c'hl "out
of sight" and the arrivals are snapped tp
lIt short order. The heavy cattle are not
in as mectiyo demand as the light , but they
sell weil and there are buyers for all that
arc coming. flc'presentatlvc sales :

Ono of the members of the conference
said that there. would be no adjournment
until something lund been done to regulate
( Ito amount of production. It was the intention -
tention of the manufacturers to complete
their work as soon an 5possibhe , and while
It was Imposslblo to say what the termo
would be , each company would make a cor-
tam percentage of the oteol for th coating
year , the allotment probably to be made on
the basis of the product of each company
during last year.
Tim reasons given ( or the proposed action
are overproduction and ( lie consdquent fall
in prices , which had made a combination
neceasary so that the manufacturOrs may
continime to run their works at a profit. It
ha been reported that the combination ,
which includes tue makers of more than
one-halt of the steel product of the ) vorld ,
'has como to some rort of an agreement with
the makers abroad , and that prices can be
easily maintained in this way. This is ,
however , denied by those at today's moot.

ROCK ISLAND , Ill. , April 2.-hundreds of
persons today vIsited the Dastian farm ,
which is under possession of Sheriff Ilemen-
way and a corpa of deputies. The finding of
the decomposed body of John Louderbocli
under a 1)110 of rubbsh ! on the farm yesterday
strengthens the general belief that Henry
F. I3astlan was an inhuman fiend and'that Ito
cornmnltted suicide March 13 Inst because lie
feared his criminal record was about to he
laid bare.
The following is a list of men who worked
upon Ilastlan's farm and mysteriously ds-
appeared eluortly after they were paid ofT
anti discharged , and all of them are believed
to have been slain by Ilastlan : Fred Kuach-
mann , whose body was found a month ago
by time road a mile from ( lie i3astian farm ;
John Louderhoch , whose remains were uncovered -
covered yesterday , more than a year since
lie disappeared ; Fritz Kiernzen , who has
not beetu see : : or heard from since the spring
of 1884 ; Marshall Lewis , who disappeared
in 1889.
flastlaii teStified at the ICusclunann inquest
that ho load paid Kuschmann $79 the night
of lila death , lIe said Kuschimnann rode a
fractious horse , whiiclu returned to the farm
without a caddie , lie said ho then went
ill eearch of Kuschinann and found him lying
dead by the side of the road a mile away.
On tluis toatimony the coroner'o jury returned -
turned a verdict of "accidental death. " A
local newspaper called nubIle attention to a
number of significant facts that had been
ignored by' the coroner's jury. Kuschnuann's
overcoat lied boon found in the road with
tIle marks of bloody OlatIdit upon the back
of It. Two silver dollars was all the money
found in lila pocket , although Ilastian swore
to paying Ilimn $79 an hour previous to ( lie
fluting of ( ito body , The doctor's examination
of Kuseiumann'a head after this Inqueot
altowed ( lint the wounl had been inflicted
by a club instead of by horse hoots , as
( Ito coroner's physican lied concluded , When
