CHICAGO, Mnreh 5.-Tho strength In
'tr.oi41 oirly today by higher cables,
later gave way to tho bearish aspect of tbo
movement and tho luck of demand. -May
closed U''(sc down. .May corn closed ',fcc
nhd May oats a Hliadc lower. Provisions at
the close were 2',4'(7',4c depressed from Sat
urday. May wheat opened lie over Saturday at
fMiW.ke, encouraged by higher cables. Trado
for a few minutes was moderately active.
The export orders which had been hoped
for by reason of tho llrmer foreign mar
hots failed to materialize, however, and tho
market turned easy, giving much considera
tion to tho largo world'H shipments, tho
heavy Increase on passage nnd tho favor
able crop reports. May early relapsed to
ttif?5?c, where It clung for somo time,
ready, however, to topple over still fur
ther. Holders tlnally crow weary of wait
ing for suirport that never camo and nbout
noon began selling and tho price tumbled,
May declining to tSlir. The close was weak,
May c under Saturday at (wic. Tho cash
business was slack, which had Its effect on
futures. Atlantic and gulf iort clearances
In wheat and Hour wero cuuul to IIO.CkjO bu.
New York reported 10 loads taken for ex
port. 1'rlmary receipts wero 921,000 bu.,
against W2, bu. last year. Minneapolis
nnd Ouluth reported 737 cars, compared with
M7 last week and SSI a year ago. Iocal
receipt were CO cars, 2 of contract grade,
The corn market was heavy, but closed
fairly steady. The opening was llrm with
wheat and on light country offerings, but
the market broke early In sympathy with
the dip In wheat. At tho decline there was
sulllclent covering by shorts to have a
stead vlug effect. They wero influenced con
siderably by reports that roads In some
parts of the corn belt wero In such a bad
condition as to check the movement en
tirely. Havo for somo animation early trade
was dull, ltrcclpts were 7P. cars. 185 cars
over the estimate. May sold from .HHftSt-'Hc
to .1le and closed He down at 3I4C
Tho selling of oats was better than tho
buying, the latter being scattered, while
In tho former tho elevators were almost
a unit. It was a small market, however.
May ranging from 23!c to 23V and closing
a shade down at 23c. Itecelpts hero wero
354 cars, 1H cars over tho estimate,
Tho provisions market was dull and weak.
There was some demand from English
houses, but It wns Insulllclent to hold up tho
prloe. Outslilo Interests u well ns local
traders were sellers. Tho opening was llrm,
because of higher prices at the yards nnd
receipts of hogs under tho estimate, but
thrso Influences wero short-lived in the face
of the poor demand, May pork ranged frotn
J10.07'4 to J10.D7V!! and closed 7!c down at
$10.57ji; Mny lord, from J5.90 to K.SG, clos

NEW YORK. .March 5.-Attcntlon In the
stock market continued to be largely di
verted to the feverish and excited fluctua
tions of 11 small number of stocks. Manipu
lation by the bears was largely responsible
for the changes. In the caso of Sugar the
operations of tho professional traders wero
interrupted by the unexpected action of the
directors In declaring a quarterly dividend
of 114 per cent on the common stock. This
sudden tearing aside of the veil of mystery
rather nonplussed the non-professional
trader, who bad counted on n period of un
certainty until Wedncrdny In which to cir
culate vague tips nnd keep up nil excited
fluctuation In the stock, with opportunities
for proflt both up and down. Tno cutting
in half of the dividend wns nboitt what
Wall street seiltlment had settled upon, but
coming suddenly upon the bold executed
plans of the speculative contingent It left
them nil nt sea.
Tho stock opened under pressure, but
nftcr falling nearly 2 points encountered
vigorous support nnd was rallied to 10514
by noon, A 2,000-sharo lot was taken nt
that price when the news beenme known of
the dividend nctlon. Enormous selling for
both accounts Immediately followed and tho
price slumped by wide breaks, with occa
sional spasmodic rallies to 97, Fluctuations
wero wild on the recovery to par. The
flood of offerings prevented the rise nbovo
that, but on tho reaction to 9S largo buying
wns In evidence again, which rallied it to
KH4. where It closed, with n little los.-t of
1?. In tho half hour after midday transac
tions in this single stock reached tho enor
mous aggregate of 62,000 shares. Thero
wero sharp breaks In Tobacco nnd Ten
nessee Coal at tlio same time with the
slump In Sugar, but the general market
was not affected. In fact the stock market
gave evidence of Its relief over the settle
ment of this disturbing question h a smart
rally, many of tho railroads rising to the
best prlco of the day. The market was
again unsettled In the late dealings by an
nttnek on Steel Hoop, People's (las and
Consolidated Qas, driving them down 3 to
1 points. New York Central reacted l'i,
but otherwise tho railroad list was little
affected and retnlned 11 fair sprinkling of
net gains. Third Avenue, uftcr linvlng risen
to 6S',i, wns forced down In 51 in the lain
denllngs, and Tennessee Coal also yielded
to pressure. A quotation of 214 per cent was
made for call money In the course of the
late bear raid on stocks. The money mar
ket during tho day showed no Hlgn of dis
turbance, nnd there was no evidence of
liquidation being forced by the calling in
nt loans. London was not a factor In this
market.
Tho bond market was rather dull and
Irregular. Total sales, par value, $l,760,O0n.
United States bonds wero unchanged In bid
quotations.
Commercial-Advertiser's London finan
cial cablegram says: "Tho markets hero
wero very dull today, but thero was a
slight tendency to better prices toward the
close. Everybody Is awaiting fresh war
news nnd tho budget to bo read In Parlia
ment tonight. Americans opened well nnd
kept steady but Idle until the afternoon,
when they Bpurted, mulnly on New York
buying of Atchison and Norfolk & Western
preferred stocks. The bank received 0,000
In gold from Australia. Call money wns In
demand, but bills were plentiful. Thero was
good buying of Mexican dollars at 27sid for
tho Straits. Paris checks, 23.18; Berlin.

Tho following dairy rules are recom
mended by the Illinois experiment station:
Keep the cows clean nnd wash tho udders
before milking. Keep the barn clean, with
walls and ceilings whitewashed; havo It well
lighted, ventilated and freo from dust ad
milking time. Always mako a clean toilet
before commencing to milk. Keep the uten
sils clean and bright. Rcmovo the milk
fiom the fitablo as soon as drawn, and cool
at once. Uo not mix fresh, warm milk with
that which hBB been cooled. Give tho cows
only good, wholesome food and pure water.
Never add anything to milk to provent Its
souring; cleanliness and cold aro tho only
preiervatlvo needed. Milk regularly,
quickly, quietly and thoroughly. Always
treat tho cows kindly and never oxclto them
by loud talking, hard driving or abuse of
any kind,
.Model Cunt Dnlry.
An attempt to Improve tho goat ns a
mllk-glver la being made by M. J. Crepln of
Pnrla. Ho has established a model goat
dairy, and has obtained very satisfactory
ntock by crossing tho best native goats with
the Nubian buck, the latter being vigorous,
Indifferent to cold nnd hornleas. Goat's
milk is richer in raselne and more digesti
ble than cow's milk. In composition It Is
moro nearly like the milk of the human)
mother than any other, nnd It hag tho ad
vantage of being comparatively freo from
risk of Infection, the goat being seldom
affected with tuberculosis and other danger
ous maladies. The butter, like the cheean.
Id found to bo remarkably good.

CATTLE It was a hard day on both
cattlo and men the storm made tho cattlo
look their worst nnd tho prices made
sellers feel their worst. All tho morning
there wns a steady fall of sleet nnd rain
and the cattle presented anything but nn
nttractlvo appearance. At the sumo time
there were quite a good many on sale and
buyers wero feeling decidedly benrlph. Ad
vices and prospects from eastern markets
were none too good nnd that fact did not
help matter any. Tho result was that
value. were lower all along the line.
Holders of cornfed cattle as n rule re
ported the market ns 10c lower and the
trado was verv dull nnd slow. Buyer?
were late In getlng out nnd did not appear
to be In any hurry to do business. It was
late befote anything like a clearance was
effected. Today's decline wiped out the
mot of tho gain made the early jtart of
last week, so that the market is not very
much higher thun It was the low time
week before last.
Cows nnd heifers were also slow nnd
generally 10c lower, though In some eues
sellers wero reporting that buyers took off
even moro than that. The cow murkct Is
now Just about as low as it has been any
tlmo since the first of the year. The bull
mnrket wns nleo slow and generally a
little lower, both fat bulls and stockers.
There were a few stockers and feeders
In tho yards and while sellers In some canes
happened to be fortunate In finding buyers
who Just happened to want a few head the
general mnrket was very e'.ow nnd weak.
Speculators had a good many cattle on
hnnd nnd in consequence were not anxious
to take on many moro until there should
bo n better country demand. The wenther
also was very much against there being
muoh trading in feeders. In some cases
sellers complained that they had pretty
good cattle, on which It was difficult to get
any one to bid. In the end, however, the
most of tho cattle changed hand?. Repre
sentative sales:

.Some LcswntiM In Cnttle Feeding;,
IM. Allen, mnnager of (he Standard
Cattle company nt Ames, Neb., prepared a
paper on tho subject, "Some Leesons In Cat
tlo Feeding," which wns read nt the Central
Shorthorn Breeders' nrwjclntlon meeting at
Kansas City. Following Is nn extract;
"As I look back over nn experience of
fourteen years In feeding cnttle In Nebraska
engaging In the bttslnceo a yenr or so
after several Wyoming companies had mnila
n first beginning n few polnls in contro
versy at that time nppe.ir fairly well Fet
tled. It Is perhaps curious that Womlna
men should havo nttetnptcd to hulld bnrn
for feeding cattlo or to cook food, the plnn
for rooking food being really responsible
for the construction of barns,
"Cattle fed In clooo confinement do not
mnkn largo gains, and It requires a long
time to fatten them, so that It should only
be practiced where the waste of foiiio
product from a factory may be fed. It wns
In search of this wnste product that I wa
Ird to attempt to secure a beet factory, be
lieving that I could feed young cattlo suc
cefBfully in tho bam on pulp. Now that
wo havo secured our factory, however, wo
havo fixed up our barn for sheep, nnd tho
chapter of our experience, In barn fredltin
of cnttle In closed.
"My experience In cattle feeding up to th
present tlmo has been nltuojt entirely with
that portion of our annual shipments ol
steers nnd spayed heifers from our western
ranches thnt did not get fat, and tho old
cowa or dry cowo taken from tho herd every
yenr becniifo It was probably that thej
would no longer bo useful as breeding cowa.
I havo never made such gains In my experi
ence as I frequently hoar of In dlscucslom
of gains with acquaintances or feeders I
happen lo meet. We atwnys figure the
gains from tho net weight of the cattlo on
arrival nt Ames, at which tlmo they am
weighed up nftcr feeding and watering as
they would get at mnrkct getting a better
fill, In fact, than they would nt market, and
tho final Chicago weights.
"list year the net gain of 6.657 cattlo was
303 pounds, nftcr 11 feeding period of 222
dnye, which Is tho largest in our experience.
Tho length , our feeding period varies very
gicatly, being determined by taking the dif
ference between tho average date of arrival
of tho cattlo at Ames, which rakes placo
during n period of four or five months. Wo
do not know how long nny particular cnt
llo nre 011 tho farm. Tho feeding period
nvcrages from ISO to 215 days, this period
last year being a littio longer than tho nvcr
age.
"Wo do not pretend to try to get our cat
tlo on full feed till January, tho entire
nutumn season which ns n rulo Is ex
tremely pleasant and mild in our locnlltyn
being occupied in a preliminary feed.
"Our Htccrs havo averaged 4 nnd 0 yean
old at tlmo of putting on feed, nnd, belii
thnt portion cf our herd which failed t
got fat on the range, havo naturally been,
generally speaking, the worst end of th
annual output as to quality. From CO to 7!
per cent of nl lot our cattle hnvo been Texas
steers. As far as I know our customs and
practices in cattlo feeding havo been
Judicious, though doubtless not perlect, AYo
have always had tho advantngo of making
a careful selection of cattle for shipment,
which has secured us a high prlco for tho
quality of cattle wo havo fattened, and our
experienco hns been a pretty fnlr test of a
largo business In fattening western nnd
Texan slrera nt one tolnt. There aro losses
of'cccncmy In such a buslnesn which nro
unavoidable nnd after fourteen years' ex
perience we are now entering n new period.
"In the first place we have retired from
range business entirely and nro now feeding
out nbout tho last of our rango cattle. WeN
are building up a cattle breeding ranch In
western Nebraska, where I expect to breed
carefully, removing the steers to Ames to
feed In September of their second year.
"The qunllty of cattle is the most impor
tant element In economy ot beef making and
this we wero never able to control In a oatls
fnctory mensuro In the cattlo business; first,
becauso everybody's cattle were mixed up
nnd we could not breed with precision, and,
next, because breeding became too hazardous
In Wyoming uudcr nny circumstances nnd
we drifted Into a' Texas steer business. In
three different masons, 1S94, 1895 nnd 189C, I
brought up to AVyomlng somo Importations
of young Texas heifers, slnco we wero spay
ing nil our own femalo calves. Theso
formed a large proportion of the remnant
of cows removed from AVyoming in 1898, now
forming our herd in western Nebraska.
"For a number of years I had bought Here
ford and Shorthorn bulls In nbout oven
numbers, hut I Judged It best In removing
to Nebraska to confine ourselves to Short
horn hulls. I am therefore now buying only
Shorthorn bulls nnd shall permit our Here
ford bulls to die out. though of caurso our
herd Is very Inrgely marked with Horcford.,
