OPENING UP ANOTHER SILICIOUS BELT purer, Lead and Copper Propositions Receiving? Considerable Attm. Ilea la geveral Districts la Hllla. DEADWOOD, B. D.. Oct. 26. (Special.) It It probable that tbere Is not at the pres ent time a piece of development work In progress I rr the alllrlnus ore belt, of tho Hllla fraught with greater Importance than that on the property of the Cleopatra Gold Mining company. For four yeara paat this company has gone on quietly with the work of opening up Its holdings on Squaw Creek, midway between Carbonate and Ragged Top, and has expended a large amount of money. The development of the upper ore- bearing contact albne amounts to over 4,000 fart of. tunnfls, opening no less than four teen well-defined verticals of ore. From aU of these verticals oro has been milled In the company's cyanide plant on the ground. This waa one of the first cyanide planta erected In the Hills, and. If the little plant at Sprarflah be excepted, the first to successfully treat the low grade alltcloua ores with coarse, dry crushing. Bow so successfully conducted by the Wasp and Spearflsh companies. At the time the Cleopatra company took poeseaslon of Its first purchase on Squaw Creek, there waa practically nothing doing In that district, and many mining men of the country hesi tated ta predict that the profitable sillclous Alatrlct would b found to extend so far gtorth and west, but time and work have fully Justified the faith of the Cleopatra management, until at the present time thla property la no longer on the outskirts of the well known sillclous belt. The com pany baa gradually, increased its holdings from time to time, until now It controls large block of ground. The most Im portant work under way at the present time Is the completion of the company's main shaft to the quartxlte, for the pur pose of exploring that contact. The col lar of the shaft Is about forty feet above the level of the creek, and the shaft baa present depth of about 230 feet. Of thla distance about eighty feet baa been through .a bard porphyry and the remainder through bale. Seama, vertical, or nearly so, have been encountered In the shaft from time to time, and these have Invariably pros pected more or less. Ifovr In Red Sandstone. The present bottom of the shaft is In a red sandstone, which Is the formation im mediately overlying the quartilte. It may be assumed that drifting on the quartzlte rill very soon be commenced. The locai tlon of the shaft la near the line of some of the verticals disclosed on the upper level of the mine, and in a basin between Immense dykes of porphyry on the east and west. Naturally, property owners on all Idea are watching thla development with Interest, and the conditions are such aa to make It aeem probable that the very best place baa been chosen for determining the fact of the existence of the quartzlte ores for a large district. Every Indication is extremely favorable for the development of a great mine on the company's ground. nd, In addition to this, a great Increase lu the value of all surrounding property. Syl vanlte ore waa first Identified on the prop rty adjoining the Cleopatra, the Iron- ldes, owned 'by' the Colorado' and Dead wood Mining company, and 'there la good reason to believe that aucb ore will be found hers in quantity. . '"..'' Immediately adjoining, the. Cleopatra- on the east la the old Pocahontas, In which a mall ' vertical waa discovered years 1 ago yielding very rich ore. Nearby ta the Iron Hill, which has yielded $673,000, the Sea- bury-Calklna, which has also turned out rich ore, and the Spanish R. When It is considered that the output of these mines baa been obtained from -the upper con tacts, and their developments have never reached the quartzltes, the formation on which every experienced miner of the northern Hllla believes the best and largest bodies of sillclous ores He, the vast Im portance to the district and to the Hllla of tbla quartxite development on the Cleo patra may be In a measure appreciated. Prospects Are Good. The Golden Treasure Is the name of Mew mining company, composed of Edger ten, O , people, which has been organised for the purpose of working a group of claims tn the Bald Mountain district. The company' holdings are In a good location, In a district from which much good ore baa been taken. Although there Is a great deal of ore exopaed in the surface work deal of ere exposed In the sur face workings. . the company, which took poaseaaion . of' the . ground two weeka ago,' began operatlona by follow lng down a' small stringer of ore, which showed on the surface. Tbla vertical ore body, it la , proposed, will be followed to the quartxite. At the present time the haft, which la telng sunk, is down about twenty-aeven feet on the- vein, and at that depth It baa-widened out so that It fills the bottom of the ehaft and appears to be growing stronger. The . ore which Is car ried by the vertical la phonllltlc, and from asssys recently made will go from $40 to $43 . a ton gold. The company baa been aacklng all of the ore taken from the abaft, and will ship it-to one of the Deadwood plants for treatment. The Reastter' cyanide plant, which baa been running for the past fifteen daya on ore from the Rattlesoake mine In the Bare Butte district and on ore from the Bux ton and Bonanxa mints of the Bald Moun tain district, made a clean-up on Thursday1' laat which resulted Iri a gold brick weigh ing 700 ounces and valued at something like $11,000. The mill' Is one of the oldest In the Hllla and was recently leased by Dorr sV Lundberg, who have made It on of the beat "In operation In this city. Brines Dsns n Good Brlek. Superintendent Hanschka of the Dead-wood-Standard company came down from the Ragged Top district laat Wednesday, bringing with bint a gold brick, the result of a two-weeks' run of the company's cyanide plant In Johnson gulch. The brick weighed about $8,000 and at no tlma dur- lng the run was the plant worked to Us full capacity. The company baa been making considerable Improvements at Ita mill during the past two months and they are now about 'completed, ao the mill will from now on run steadily. The Deadwood Ctandard adjoins the 8pearflsb company'a ground and Its oro la similar to that of the Bpearfiah, producing the flest bullion of any ground In the northern Hllla, aoma of .lt being .tH fine." e Tbe Polo Creek diatrict, adjoining the townslte of Deadwood, baa lately beea re ceiving considerable attention, and. owners of ground In It are busy at the present time doing their annual assessment work The district adjoloa that of the Garden City, and the or which U found In the woaklngs of the various properties la aim-, liar to those of that district. There baa not been very much work done In thla district, and none of the ore bodies have received very much development, ao tt can not be atatod with anything like positive as bow exteaalve they are. The work which am been done, however,' ahowa that the ores all carry good valuea. that they are sillclous and good cyanldlng propositions. Developing llver-Lead Cla'lan. GALENA. Oct. 80. (Special.) Fred Zlpp and Nclse Brown of Deadwood have etarted work on the Parsons, which Ilea at the bead of Two-Bit Gulch. The Parsons is a silver-lead proposition, and as yet Is but a prospect, one, however, which given promise of developing Into one of the best silver-load mines In the Bare Butte dis trict. The present work consists of a tunnel, which Is following the course of a small vertical of ore. This vertical where etarted on was but about eighteen Inches In width, but has widened out until It ts now about three feet. The ore which is being taken from the vein Is as rich aa any silver-lead ore that has been mined In the district. Tbe tunnel which Is started on the vein has not got under cover for any great distance, and as' tbe ore now almost fills the face of the workings, every Indication points to the fact that a large deposit will be encountered before many more feet shall have been driven. The ore which la being taken from the tunnel Is being sacked, and will be shipped to the Horseshoe smelter for treatment. The Monarch, from which ao much rich ore la being shipped, la situated In the ' same neighborhood. The owners have been pre paring for work thla winter, and have al ready comfortable quartera erected at tho mines and last Thrrrsday brought out from Deadwood auppllea and tools. Rod Murray, who has a lease on the El Refugio, on Thursday shipped two carloads of rich silver-lead ore , to the smelter at Rapid City for treatment. Bart Harris, who ts working the Rattlesnake mine In Strawberry Gulch, shipped four carloada of ore to the Dorr Lundberg cyanide mill at Deadwood. Frank Wagner, who has a lease on the Oro Belle, Is preparing to make a shipment of 00 tons of Ore from the mine to the Imperial mill at Deadwood, and Is building a wagon road from the mine to the B. tt M. railroad company'a narrow guage line In Strawberry Gulch. The Oro Belle la situated near the Two Beara mine, which In former daya waa a rich producer, and it la believed that the aame vein ex tends through both properties. The pres ent supply of ore is being taken from an open cut, and there la a large body of it tn sight. It Is said to go from $10 to $22 per ton gold and la a cyanide proposition. Good Proaress an Smelter. - HILL, CITY. S.. d!, Oct. 28. (Special.) The Calumet company, la doing a great deal of work at Ita ground near Sheridan, a few miles from thla camp. The company la erecting a 100-ton smelter at Sheridan, and has the excavating and the atone woik about completed, while the carpenters and millwrights are well along with their work. Tbe plant will be a copper smelter and will treat the orea from the Calumet group of mlnea. Dr. Baxter, tbe superin tendent of tbe ' company, says that the plant will .be ready to blow In by tbe first of the year. Tbe company has a large vein of copper ore on Its ground which haa re ceived considerable development, and It la estimated that there la ore enough In eight In the workings to keep the plant which Is now building In operation for a long number of years. Some of the ore ts said to be very rich, carrying as high as 10 per cent copper while the average will go aa good aa 3 per cent. Thla property ends on to the famoua Maloney Blue Lead one of the richest copper mlnea In the Hills, tbe property of R. M. Maloney of Deadwood who haa spent over $80,000 of his own money In Its development, and upon which It la believed a smelting plant will be erected soon. Several other people In thla district are doing extenatve work on cop per propositions, all of which are looking good. " ' ' ' ' Accident at a Hospital. HVRON. S. P., Oct. 2. (Spaclal.)

There are only fifteen millionaires ln Great Britain and one In Ireland at least thla would appear, to be ao from the official Income tax returns just Issued, reports tbe New York Tlmea. According to the returns these sixteen persons make the sum total of tbe Individ uala in this country who enjoy Incomes of over 60,000, and thla la about the "million aire" level. It la true that there are 184 people with lncomea of between 10.000 and 50,000, and tt courae a cerald:rabl3 number cf these I who are just on the line aeross which they would be classed aa millionaires. lncomea of between 5,000 and 10,000 are enjoyed by 424 people. To be aa assessor of Income tax one needs a heart of flint. To him the world la a Dantesque Inferno, filled with doloroua complainings. ' It Is always, "The worst year I remem ber, air," or "Hard times,' very bard tlmea;" every year aeea tbe nation "on Ita last financial legs." Unfortunately the great majority of the smaller Income people have no opportunity (if pleading poverty. They are people with salaries, and the Income tax man haa ac cess to the tell-tale wages list. But tbe millionaire la not a salaried man. For the most part he paya on an assessment pro vided by himself, and the above quoted figures "give one to think." Down the scsle the numbers gradually Increase until of Incomes between 160 and 200 there are no fewer than 13S.456, while of smaller lncomea not exempt from taxation there are 112,397. . But tbere Is one singular exception to tbla ateady gradation. There are comparatively few lncomea . of between 800 and 900, the number being 1,989 tn Great Britain, whereaa the figures immediately above and below are 3.936 and 2,641. POl.tTKD PARAGRAPHS. Though tbe man ot push may be In the rear you" can't keep him there. Many a broadcloth man owea It to hta marriage with a calico woman. Wise la tbe woman who managee her hus band and keepa the secret from him. I'aea of adveralty may be aweet, but the average man ta willing to paaa up that par ticular brand of aweeta. Many a married man firmly believes that tn union there la strength also that tho aftresald strength Isn't equally distributed. A philosopher aaya It la better to be alone than In bad company: but aome men are In bad company when they are alone. Tbe man who always waata the moat for hta money should never propose to a woman who jars lb scales at leas than 200 pounds. BALL WAR IS NEARLY OYER American and National Leagues Decide to Burr the Hatchet. RIVAL BODIES WILL JOIN FORCES SOON Western Organisation la Alan Party to Agreement, bat Jot What Will ' Happen to It la Still Doubtful. ' NEW YORK, Oct. 26. The main object of membera of the b-ard of the National As sociation of Professional Base Ball Leagues In remaining In New York after the annual meeting adjourned became apparent today when a number of conferences were held with the principal backera of the Western league and the American association. It waa with the hope of patching up the diffi culties existing between these two organl- satlona that the members stayed here. It was said a settlement will ensue. Presidents Brlce of Columbus and Wat- kins of Indianapolis of the American as sociation were in conference at the Hotel Victoria nearly all day. In the evening they were joined by President W. T. Van Brunt of the St. Joseph club of tbe West ern league, who has advanced the largest part of the money for carrying on tbe war that haa proved disastrous to both the Western league and the American associa tion during the present season. The adjustment scheme aa mapped out tonight calls for the withdrawal of the Western league clubs In Kansas City and Milwaukee and the turning over of these two cities to tbe American. At tbe aame time the promoters of West ern league teams In these cities may be given an Interest In the American teama. or they may be rewarded financially. With the withdrawal of the Western league clubs from these cities the way would be clear for a harmonious adjustment of all difficulties and tbe American associa tlon would then receive protection from tho national association, coming In on a par with the Eastern league. The Western league could take In two smaller cities or stand with a six-club league and come In with a Class B or C agreement. NATIONALS WIN.

Grim Warriors Care for Homeless and Wonnded Animals. The occupation of the soldier does not nec essarily obliterate the humane impulses of the man. In fact, tn many Instances It serves only to emphasize and render them more conspicuous. It la pleasant to find In a recent account of the work of the Brit ish and colonial naval brigades' that In aome instances,, at least, man'a Inhumanity waa limited to man, and not extended to ani mals, j In the Paardeberg laager aome of the blue jackets found three orphaned chickens. These little balls of yellow fluff 'were quickly adopted and soon became great peta and went with the brigade to'Bloemfon teln. During the march tbe chicks were stowed In a kettle, but when 'he- men baited they bopped out, went tbe riund of tbe messes for food, returned to their kettle when tired and waited to be lifted back into It. The men had other peta. A wounded dog which they carefully tended till he recov ered and joined bla master; another dog which followed them from Madder camp, and used freiueul'y to make himself useful by catching horaea and bringing them back; a goat which lived, or seemed to, on news papers and tobacco, and a very wee, miser able lamb with sore eyea, which they uaed to bathe dally with warm water and round the neck of which they tied a ribbon. On the march to Bloemfontein. while in camp, an officer saw a blue jacket discover an ox aunk In the muddy river bank un able to move and dying of exhaustion. Jack gave tt a kick to see if It was alive and sauntered off. "Cruel brute!" muttered the officer. "He might let It die In peace!" In a tea mlnutea back came Jack with a cotl of rope and three Chums, and these four, with a soldier, worked hard tor an hour, got the beaat out, dragged It under the shade of a tree and brought water from the river In their bata. . The officer -waa reclining under a shady tree, and even tben be felt half suffocated by the beat. The men were exposed to the fnll glare of the midday aun. They bad been working hard all the morning In the open and bad given up their well-earned reat under a wagon to save a beast. ' TOBACCO PRICES BOOSTED. Hew gehednle Cnts Into the Profits of Small Denlers. Smokers and those using tobacco In other forms will be Interested tn the fact that while the price of coal has been abnormally Increased, and the coat of other commodi ties and necessities haa been soaring sky ward, the price of manufactured tobacco haa also been lncreaaed to the dealers. The American Tobacco company, known throughout the trade aa the tobacco, trust, has scheduled a new price list of Its prod ucts, reports the New York Tlmea, and in tvery Instance the new list shows an ad vance, small. IndeeU, but onu which will curtail the profits of the dealers unless they In turn raise the price to their customers. In the tierce competition which now pre vails tn the trade, auch an Increase would almost mean ruin to the small dealer. The general rise In prices went Into ef fect on October 1. Shortly before this date the jobbers in thla city, and doubtless In other cities, notified the retail dealers and storekeepers that a new price list would ko Into eflect on the 1st of October, und that this had been rendered necrsoary :ecause the price ot every grade of tobacco had been advanced by the American Tob-icco company. The new price lint was utmost Identical with that which was in effect until July 1 lust, when the war revenue tux waa removed by congress. beveral of the principal retailers In this city who were Interviewed raid that they were not yet Inclined to make a corre sponding advance in prices to their custo mers, but they thought that they would aoon be compelled to do so. Thus far the retailers have accepted the reduction In their own profits, but they say that they are not Inclined to bear the whole burden of the cost added by the tobacco trust. Un less the trust can be Induced to make a re duction before long they will be forced to raise the price of cigars and tobacco, both for amoaliw and chewing, to their custo mers for self-protection. The Jobbers have protected themselves from loas by advancing the price of uoods in accordance with the advance annouiwed by the trust, and the burden naturally falls upon the retailer, and tnrough him on the cslomer. The advance whfeh went Into effect on the first of the month was 1 rent a uound on all srades. and while ihiu In Itself appears a small Increuke, It cuts a big figure In a small dealer's profits. To bacco wnicn waa selling up io uctorier 1 at 14 cents a pound la charged for at ii cents. and there ta no recourse for lha em ill shopkeeper.

January privtlons closed from Be lower 10 zvc nigner. The voiume of trading In wheat was eomewhnt smaller than of late. Room bulls, who abandoned their lines early, re placed them partially on strong spots toward the close, and while the market was active at the advance, there was enough realising to hold It steady. loo opening was turn on baa weather and strength in corn, tollowed by a decline on big receipts ana heavy liquidation along with weakness In corn. Good baying toward the close brought about a rally and the finish was about steady. De cember opened unchanged to c higher at Tzjtfa Vic, gold up to Tic. declining to 71c. but on the tinal rally the price went to T'.'Sc, and the close was near the top, c higher, at li'c. Clearances of wheat and Hour were equal to 92,000 bushels. Primary receipts were 1.833,000 bushels against 1,07o.(mi bushels a year ago. Min neapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 8uz cars, which with local receipts of 130 chts 4 of contrail grade made ;otal re ceipts for the three points of 1.032 cars, against 67 cars last week and 832 cars a year ago. Corn was quiet, but firm, with a alight decline early, in sympathy with wheat. Later the market became firmer on fair commission nutate buying. Influenced by rains In Illinois and Iowa, and the close was slightly above yesterday's final figures. December closed a shade higher at 61c, after selling between SlVolc and Uc. Local receipts were 328 cars, with 69 cars of contract grade. Oats continued dull and featureless and prices fluctuated within a narrow range. The close watt steady, with December h1t Vc higher, at aHae, after ranging between 9ie and Wc. Local receipts were 263 cars. Provisions were Inclined to weakness, lib eral receipts of hogs and a decline of 10c In prices at the yards resulting In con siderable liquidation by locals. The de mand, was limited.

VALUE OF STOCKS SAGGING OonserratiTe Interest Unwilling to Biy tt Speculative Prices, rROFITS SHOW TENDENCY TO DECLINE Bstreme Hlah Prleea Have Stimulated Importa and Also Served to C heek Exports Forelaners Not Raylns; Oraln. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. (Special.) Henry Clews, In hlr weekly letter, says: . Values on the Stock exchange continue to exhibit a sagging tendency in spite of occasional efforts to rush them upwarJ. The latter oiierationa have not been slu nally successful, conservative Interests con tinuing to show decided opposition to nil such manipulation. Dealings were conse quently largely of a professional nature. What the early future will bring forth It is difficult to determine. The materials for an active bull market are atlll wanting. Considerable Improvement haa taken place tn the monetary situation, and apprehen sions of disastrous stringency have been removed b liquidation In stocks, by con traction In loans and by Secretary Shaw's energetic efforts to counteract the govern ment absorption 0 funds. The stoppage of the coal strike was also a favorable feature inasmuch aa It paved the way for removal of a very serious public Irritant, which, had It continued, would eventually have created a more serious disturbance In Wall street. Unquestionably the coal stocks have been supported with great skill and power. It being certain that a Ave months' loss- of product would have created a seri ous enrinaage in tne vaiue 01 tnese securi ties had not some powerful support been accorded. If that power had been crippled by untoward events It Is not easy to Im agine the consequencea to the coal stocks, which throughout the ordeal displayed re markable staying powers. Profits Are Declining;. With anxiety concerning the strike and the monetary outlook removed, the list of stimulating features ends. It Is true that general business continues active and large In volume, with no prospect of immediate diminution. But a striking feature of busi ness today In nearly all lines Is declining profits. As already shown in these advices, net profits tot both Industrials and rail roads are beginning to Bhrtnk, owing to Increased cost ot raw materials and labor. The same Is true in many other lines of business whose securities are not dealt in on the Stock exchange. Should this tend ency continue It means a curtailment in the purchasing powers of the wealthy classes, which In turn will reduce the consumption of many commodities, especially luxuries. perhaps this tendency is only temporary. and such It la hoped will be the case, but there are only too many suggestions strengthening the Impression that a partial reaction from the high tide of prosperity is now upon us. Not tne least indication has been the unfavorable turn In our foreign trade during the lasf year. High prices here have greatly stimulated Im ports and checked exports; the result being to areatly diminish the favorable balance of trade which existed two years ago, and render possible the talk or gold exports. which new tends to make wall street nesi- tate, not so much from the actual as from the moral effect of our being compelled to ship gold when the banks are endeavoring to strengthen their resources. Exports of wheat, corn and cotton are ull Impeded at present by the fact that American holders demand prices that European buyers will not pay, and even extraordinarily low out ward freights are not sufficient to move these products from our sesboard with de sired freedom. Other evidences of a re actionary tendency could be cited, but enqugh have been presented to warrant a conservative .attitude toward tne future until some sort of readjustment has taken place which will encourage a fresh forward movement. Dlstrnst American Methods. Such a chance la hardly likely to appear for aome weeks, perhaps not until the new year ta close at hand or fairly begun. Two months ago gold Importa were anticipated; now gold exports aeem equally probable. The explanation of thla change is of ootirs partly aue to tne less ravoraoie Daiancw of trade, but chiefly to the changed atti tude of European bankers. At both Paris and Berlin there haa been an unexpected financial strain, and added to this there has also unquestionably been a growing dis trust of American speculative metnocis. that would have ' aonner become mons marked except for the confidence Induced by our continued material prosperity. Home necessities, therefore, might eaI y force foreign bankers to close some of their American accounts, tne effect or wnicn would be reflected In the foreign exchange market and In an Increased facility for shipping gold. Eventually that metal will go where it Is most wanted, where It will command the best rates, and any large efflux would aoon be Impeded by higher Interest here. The large amounts of money Bet free through Secretary Shaw's efforta, amounting probably to nearly IIOI.OOO.OOO. have Inevitably brought ua nearer tn gold ohipments. through temporarily relieving the monetary pressure at this point. It is about time that these disbursements mado their appearance In a more favorable bank statement, though It la to be remembered that a large portion of these funds were released at Interior points, thus affording Indirect relief here by anticipating future demands. . . No Change This Year. While the grin of New York bankers upon the situation haa been somewhat weakened by the sudden relief to the money market. It ta to be hoped they will steadfastly pre serve their present conservative attitude toward undesirable speculative movements In any event Arm money is likely to last Into the new year; a political campaign is on which may easily develop some unpleas ant surprises considering the present state of public unrest; and, until the nnanclal political and business prospects become more settled and more favorable, we can not confidently look for a buoyant market These conditions may have been very largely discounted; still there Is no dis cernible change In the conservative spirit of the big leeders who really dominate the situation." Forelan Financial. LONDON, Oct. 26. The rate for money continues quiet. The 2,500,000 raised last week to meet the treasury bills appeared to be easily procurable on the open mar ket and did not result In any marked stif fening of prices. No applications for large loans are being made to the . bank, conse quently the bank s 4 per cent rale nas not fend the effect of ralslnff the market prices. The bank Is being urged to take measures to make Ita rates more effective, it nas begun to borrow freely for short periods In order to help harden rates ,and Inci dentally to leseen the probability of a flow of gold to Paris, where the demand for money Is Increasing. j he appren.riHive ness concerning monetary conditions in New York has now fairly subsided. The nonspeculative condition of the Stock ex rhanne last week extended into the Amer ican department, which relapsed into ac tivity in sympathy with the general indif ference. The very slight damage done to stock markets in tne ciinea states oy tne late money stringency there has begotten renewed confidence In American shares and these undoubtedly will continue to be the leading features In a continuously dull market. BERLIN. Oct. 26. The feature of the Bourse last week was the raid on Ham burg and North German Lloyd shares, both going below par for the first time In years. Hamburg-American shares were sold heavily all during the week. The beara operated with the rumors of a bad freight market, the competition of British coal veiwels for return cargoes from New York, i--r raiiu-.atea of the years dividends and the illness of Herr Ballin. general director of the Hamburg line. It was stated au thoritatively later that Herr Bullln's ill ness was not serious. The shares of ocean transportation rompanlea made a partial recovery, Hamburg-American and North German Lloyd both reaching loi yeeter ria V. Although the trading last week was light, the decline in coal aharea and Irons continued and the list shows some dropa in this department. At the annual meeting of Bochum Gusstahl (Cast Steel) company held yesterday Director Baare, one of the greatest iron exiierts in Germany, said the German Iron Industry was approaching a serious period of Its existence. He said there existed danger of the dissolution of the steel rail svndlcate. In which event there would be;ln a prlxe war between everybody tn the business. Herr Baare s remarks depressed Iron shares yesterday. The money market last week was again very eas, but domestic loans failed to be Influenced by this condition. Rentes were leas active than in former weeks. Span iards dropped sharply upon profit takings tn Paris. Maaeheater Textile Market. MANCHESTER. Oct. 26. The cloth mar ket waa somewhat more active lust week. There was a fair general Inquiry with con siderable buainrss in several directions, al though quotations were not always main tained. There was a feelinj of firmness In suite of the variations In the price of cotton Bombay, Karaohl and Calcutta offered freely, but these offers were often unworkable and the rates demanded were stubbornly resisted. There were fair aalea to China. The low rate of exchange was not favorable to a 'large turnover. Tsars was Increased South American and mis cellaneous demand, but the Ievant In quiry was slow. Yarns were in more healthy Inquiry. Business In msny quail ties waa placed at improved prices. CHICAGO LIE STOCK MARRJCT.' Sixteen Thoasnnd Head of Hogs and a Drosi of a Dime, CHICAGO.

For the 'week receipts show an increase over last week and also over the corresponding week of laat year. The Increase for the year to date amounts to over 140.0UO .head and the receipts ao far this year are about "90.000 head, as against 818, 000 tiead -during the entire year of 1901. From that It will be seen that before the close of next week the receipts tor this year will be equal to the supply of ail last year. Cornfed steers continue In llaht recelnt at thla market. At Chicago and some other points receipts were quite liberal and as a result prices broke In bad fdiape. This market was Influenced to some extent and caused the commoner and warmed up . grades to sell to poor advantage. The prices paid were very uneven and as buyers wouia vary irom ac to 00c on tne aame nuncn or cat we it is nara to ten murn about the true condition of the market. It la aafe, however, to Quote the warmed uo and half fat-stuff right close to 6ou lower than two weeks ago. The best grades nave suneren very nttie curing tne last week or ten days, nut they have also been selling rather unevenly. The cow market ruled active and higher the first of the week, but owing to liberal receipts the market eased oft the last of the week and closed 15&25c lower than Monday, or about a dime lower than last week Friday. The demand, though, was in pretty good shape most or the week and desirable grades sold without much trouble. Canners were also In good demand and some days there did not seem to be enough to nil orders and consiaerauiy nigner prices were paid. The week wound up, though, about like .ant week. Good bulls and staae sold In Just about last week's notches, but common kinds were slow and lower. Veal calves have held Just about steady. There has been a big run of stockers and feeders all the week and as the demand from the country has been very dlsapoiilnt lng the market has declined on all kinds. The greatest break, though, has been on the commoner grades. One reason for that Is the fact that the quality hag been below the average and a pile or common 10 medium cattle are beina carried over Hun- day. The market on such grade may be quoted 26c lower for the weea. The choicer grades nave not sunerea quite mat mucn, but still even those are 10ftl5o lower. The bulk of the good feeders are now selling Irom 63.40 to vim ana 11 taxes sometning ancy to bring from xi.uu up. it is aountrui 1 anv cattle will arrive that will be aood enough to bring $4.50. The common cattle are selling mostly irom j.w 10 .i.. Desirable western beef steers have held just about steady ail the week, but the common kinds are a little lower. Good heef haa been rather scarce, so that the demand has been fully equal to the occasion. Western feeders, if choice, are not over loi 16c lower, but the common kinds are fully 15r25c lower. Range cows are not over a dime lower than the close of last wek. but l.vo'Jic lower than Monday. HOGS There was a lair run 01 nogs here today for a Saturday and, as ad vices from other points were none loo favorable to the selling interests, the mar ket opened 2Wfl-5o lower than yesterday. The situation Improved, though, as the morning advanced and the close waa about steady with yesterday. The bulk of the early sales went from $6.70 lo $6.72H, wit it the choice loads selling st $4.75. The late arrivals, though, sold mostly at pi.Ti'i and $ 75. The trains were late in getting In, hu that, although trading was active, it was late before the market came to a close. Receipts of hogs for the week show an Ircrsase over last week, but a decrease as c mpared with the corresponding week of last year. The table of receipts above will show the exact figures. The tendency of prices has been decidedly downward and the os for the week amounts to ahout 80c. ' SHEEP There were no fresh arrivals of sheep today, but for the week receipts have bfen very ill eral and in fact with the ex ception of the week ending October 11, when over 100.000 head arrived, It has been the heaviest week of the year. Taking that fact Into consideration the market haa been In very satisfactory condition. Packers were liberal buyers, particularly the first part of the week, and prices Armed up a little, but toward the close the feeling waa weaker and all the advance waa tost and In aome cases a little more. As com pared with Ihe close of laat week, though, even the common kinds of fat sheep are not over a dime lower. The lamb markei, however, has suffered In bad ahape. The Kansas City market is quoted 3Mf40c lower tt an Monday and Chicago Is 75c'il.G0 lower. At this point the decline In the majority of cases is covered by 20c, though soma sales have looked a little worse than that. The greatest decline Is of course on Ihe com moner grades. Feeder heep. except where the quality Is very good, are lVo'25c lower than a week ago, but the tholce kinds are not over lc or 15c lower. Feeder Iambi are fully tia lower uiileos ( very good quality. Even the best graces, though, are a little lower for the week.
