The cxclualvo announcement made In The Dec a short time ago In relation to the re ceipt by tl-o Cudahy Packing company of a largo order for Boap from Shanghai , China , Ins caused considerable talk In the commer cial world and the Cudahy company la re ceiving requests dally for Information re garding the China ctradc. It Is stated that China Imports jearly goals valued at $2S5- 000,000 and that over one-half of this enor mous trade Is now held by Great Britain. Slnco the receipt of thla largo order for a product of the middle west manufactuicra In the transmUslsslppl statca have bten fig uring on , obtaining some of the trade whlcn heretofore has 'gcno ' exclusively to the cast. Railroad ofllclals in this locality arc also Interesting themselves In the matter and It Is pooslblo ithat an effort to capture some of this trade will bo made. In the mean time the Cudahy company is nt work on the China crderwhich to for seven carloads of soap of different kinds. In connection with the manufacture ot soap at this place a representative of the Cudahjs said yesterday that plans were be ing made for enlarging the facilities of the piescnt factoiy. Much new machinery luu been ordered and Is ibelng placc < l In posi tion. When this Is dene the output will 'bo ' Increased 25 per cent. Plans and esti mates are now being ; prepared for additions to the soap factory which will double the present capacity , which Is now 1,000 boxes a < Iay. The Intention now Is to erect fcev- eral new buildings In the spring adjoining the present ten-story factory , in addition to the buildings already planned for gljccrlne works. It is claimed 'that the proposed 1m- provomenta are made necessiry by the enor mous Increase In the demand for soaps made by this company. Within the last day or two the Cudahy company commenced 'the ' manufacture of whiting , such as is used inthe making of plaster dctcrationa and works of art. Tbi whiting Is a -product of caustic potash , which Is now being manufactured by the Cudahys here. This Is a new departure and a good trade In this line will , It Is thought , bo worked up In the middle west. At the present time nearly all of the whiting used In tbo manufacture of plaster decorations , etc. , is imported from Europe. Tor the present 10,000 pounds of this whiting will bo manufactured every day and the Intention is to Increase the output as eoou as the demand will warrant It. Putty for glazing purposes Is also made at the Cudahy plant now , whiting and linseed oil ibelng used. This proJuct of. tha plant will ba packed In bladders and sold direct , to wholesale deal ers In that article. The new sausage factory Is now entirely enclosed , the roof having been put on with in 'tho ' last few tlavs. All of the wlndown are also In place and a dozen or moio car penters are now engaged in finishing up thoi Interior. Superintendent Cameron Is still in the cast on a business trip , but Is expected home about the middle of no\t week. U. A. Cud ahy left last night for Sioux City to look over his new plant novvi being ibuilt there. Coal for rirr Dcpartinc-nl. At the last meeting of the city council a resolution Introduced by Kelly was passed Instructing the city clerk to advertise for bids for furnishing coal for the use of the flro department from now until the close of the fiscal year. Clerk Carpenter requested Chief Smith to furnish him with an estimate of the amount of coal needed during the tlmo specified in the resolution and the chief re ported yesterday afternoon that ho thought eight tons would bo enough. Ibis estimate Includes both lard and soft coal. As It will cost the city $10 to advertise for bids for eight tons of coal the city clerk did not place the advertisement yesterday , but will wait for further Instructions from the city ofllclals. Ono ofDclal said yesterday that he thought Id all nonsense to talk of adver tising for bids for coal at this tlmo of the year. Ho said that no doubt some money might bo saved by asking for bids In the fall , but to wait until the winter was half over looked as If the councilman who Introduced the resolution was plugging for the paper In which such advertisements are now placed , Ilojnl A r en ii n in IiiHlnllii linn.

The eyes of the business community nro strained to catch a gleam of hope from ttio cattle market. All summer and fall Micro wa mixlc'.y as to the outcome of the corn crop aril when at last It was In crib there waa a feeling of relief among business men In all sostlons of the country and the pros pect for the future of bustae s looked bright. 13U1' before the corn crop could bo made available - able for business" purposes It had to go through a process of transformatlui. People do not on corn , or but very little , but they do eat beef , pork an I muttcn and It Is neces sary to convey the corn Irv'o those commodi ties before It can bo turned Into money , fiver elnco the harvest time this transformation has been going on all over the west , the meat factories , great and small , have beco turning out their quota of fat stock , which hai been moving forward to market In a steady procewltci all this winter. The markets ha\o made fnlr returna for the stock and the meat producers ha\o In most cases been well remunerated , so much . ' 0 In fact that all departments of trade ha\o felt the stimulus nn.l ha\ cellared In the pros perity of the faimers and stock growers cf tno corn belt. This pleasing condition of affairs , hn\\o\er , received a rude tliock just previous to the liolldnjs , wheel the demand for beef seemed to slacken up all of a sud den , and w Inn the packer. ? , taking their cue from that and from the Urge receipts of cattle - tlo at ' .ho leading marke's of the country , came to the conclusion that the market was too hl&Ji and set out to break values. They were helped lu this by the light demand dur ing the holidays , when the public appetl c In clines more to poultry , and values en cattle went down hill at u rap-Id gait. From being remunerative prices suddcnlj fell so low that the feeders of the coun ry were la many case/3 / losing all the feed , Hie fat cattle selling fcr no moro Iran they coat before fattening. All through the holldajs and up to the pres ent da' e the market has been In the dumps and while Eomo ot the most cklllful feeders , who have also bid gooJ luck on tiielr ilde , have sold -at a proflt , It is a well known fact that a good snare of the cattle that have been coming forward to market ha\o lest their owners money. POSSIBILITY OP THE FUTURE. What the future may hae In store for the cnttlo market Is therefore a matter of the \ery greatest concern to the businessmen of the countrj and It will be a matter of Inter est to them to know that tucio arc those who can already see a ray of hope. The dc- irand for beef appears to be Improving a little as the public appetite Is becoming tired of poultry and gaire la out of season In a good many states. At the same time the country appears to have a pretty good opinion of the vnluo of cattle and thcic has been no deposition to rush them to market when they are not wanted and still further demoralise prices. In fact the disposition to hold back the cattle until the packers and consumers want them Is one of the best safeguards against ruinously low prices. While the market on cattle has not been to the llklhg of growers , the hog market has been rather on the Improve. No great advance has been scored , but the market has shown a firmness while the demand has been such as to absorb evcrj thing coming , whether the receipts are largo or small , and without materially affecting prices. The pork factories have .ill been making money and tliat portion of the corn crop consumed by hogs has been well marketed. Unless till indications fall they will continue to do well this season and there are a good many who predict that hogs will sell higher before very long. The packcro certainly regard them as cheap at present prices and are bujlng all they can get. Sheep producers are also doing well and corn In the form of mutton is selling to very good advantage. The bujers seem to want all that they can get and though the receipts on some davs look large they are all absorbed. One thing that has helped out the sheep glowers to some extent is tlukad- vance In the wool market , the fleece at this season of the jear cutting no small figure in the price. With pork and mutton in good demand and selling at firm prices it would seem as if there ought to be hope for the beef market If cattlemen use good Judgment and show their opposition to any reuCtHon In values by withholding supplies of cattle.

Neither should the circumstance of Its presentation hero by a comrin > other than the origin- : ! organization bo held against It , for the people ple who bring it hero need not greatly fear comparison , one by one , with the originators of the various roles. "Secret Service" Is n lov elation of stagecraft and dramatic con struction. It would seem that the writing of melodrama CECI no further go. Hero Is the long-awaited : the drama of action and In cident and stress of human pnslon , portrayed trayed naturally , quietly and with the ut most harmony , the points Indicated by llght- n'ng ' flashes of Irres'stlble penetration rather than by the slow and noley thunder com monly emploved. The strain upon the aud ience , cumulative and Intense throughout the play , Is sometimes almost too great to Lc torno ; but theio Is nothing of the sledge hammer , ranting method of ordinary melo drama All this Is Inexpressibly refreshing and Is only 030 of the manifold excellences of this really remarkable drama.
