The eorn market was strong and trade *
fairly active. A reiteration that this Argen
tine erop had suffered severely and a cable
announcing the ruin of the Unie-nay llelds
by heat were the factors. Liverpool van
up a trifle. The. strength of whe.it was

The factor , aside from some natural sym

railroads generally showed the effects of i I
realizing all day. Thn profll-taklng was j |
conducted In nn orderly tnantier nnd with 1
out any such violent movement * of prices
or furious activity of trading a * was Hie
case yesterday. The high opening In sym
pathy with Ixindim helped the protll-t.ik-
InK. but opening prices were generally the
best. There was continued absorption of
I'nlon Pacific after the reaction which fol
lowed the dividend announcement nnd llto
railroad list generally wn * well In hand , :
prices being rallied occasionally to facili
tate * the realizing. The report Hint the '
I'nlon Pacific had determined t close the
Otden gateway caused some lipavlne s In
Iho railroad. " which hnve relied on 'bat
outlet for tralllc to the northwest , notably
Rurllngton. Hock Island nnd Mlssouil Pa
cific. The local traction stock" , which Inve
shown themselves responsive to develop
ments In the rapid trati-dt tunnel project ,
were weak on the announced decision to ac
cent the contract ir's bond. '
Tie ! stormy wtuther prevailing In the ;
west pprhBim had some effect on the rail !
way lint. The announcement of n bond
Issnn by the Western I'tilon company of
twice tlio amount llrsl reported yesterday
caused weakness In that stock. The ex-
pcclatlon Is growing that Saturday's bank
statement will not show the money position ,
strengthened , as .the receipts from the In
terior havei shown a falling off , owing In
nart to 11 renewed demand from the sou'h '
to accommodate- cotton movement rtlmu-

that thn gain made by the banks cnrlv In
the week on siibtreasury operations will bo

GENERA Ir-Tho slorm , which started out
In the state yesterday and which reached
here last night , evidently Interfered with
the loading and shipment of stock , an there
was very little stuff In. This morning there
was a high wind blowing , with the ther
mometer down to zero , or below , with the
air full of drifting snow , so that no one
ventured out who was not obliged to go.
H wns a very poor day for a market nnd
It was fortunate Unit there was BO little
stock here1. The few trains In were late In
arilvlng and the stock eme ; straggling lu
all the forenoon , SQ that nt no time was
there enough stuff on sale to really make
a market.
CATTLE The storm wns so severe and
there were so few cattle that It was late
before buyers were out. Besides that many
of the trains were late , IIH noted above , so
t.hnt It W H after the middle of the forenoon
before buyers attempted to do anything.
The tr.iele could hardly be called a market ,
as there were , not enough e-attle to really
establish quotations. Chicago came lower
nnd had there been any great uumlier of
cattle In the yards the market here would
undoubtedly have been lower. As It was the
few cattle here sold , If anything , stronger
than yesterday.
Th" feeling among operators regarding
the future of the cattle market appears to
b& bearish and the opinion seems jo be
gaining ground that packers are determined
to noiind down the market. At the same
lime R Is pointed out that while fat eattle
ate no higher than a year ago ihe product
Is bringing considerably more than It was
a year ago.
There were a few cows and heifers In the
yards this morning and buyers seemed to
want that kind of cattle , which sold eiulte
readily as a rule at strong yesterday prices.
There Is a good demand for cow stuff right
along , while the mipply Is light.
There was practically nothing doing In
stockers or feeders. Representative sales :

HOGS Only about twenty cars of hogs
were In bight this morning , with about
the Fame number reported back. There was
the usual good demand , and as there were
so few to be had buyers seemed willing to
pay a premium lo get them. Besides that
advices from other markets were encourag
ing. As a result the hotw Fold largely at
JI.7Gfil.77' ' , > . , as against $1.67 ! Tcl.70 yester
day. Some choice heavy bnuEht JI.SO.
Owing to the way ihe hogs arrived , a few
ears at a time , the market was prolonged
through nil the forenoon.
The late trains fared belter than the
early arrivals and some of ihe hogs that
did not arrive until after dinner sold about
100 higher , the market closing higher on
account of the Improvement lu the
provision market. ReprcKentntlve sales ;

The fast train w.is late. It was nearly an
hour bcOillid time when It crossed the Kin-
ftiiK-Colornd ) Hue and was trying to make
up as munli as pos-slMo of the lost time
before the next division pnlnt should be
reae-hed. It > was early morning , relates the
K.in.'as C'lly Star , and the little scattered
stations did ne > t make much trouble by
flaggliiK the train for jnsaoiigers. iso the
train fairly flew over the rails. Altitude
gave us a down grade and the way dlstaiico
was covered made the Inexperlcjiccd helper
In the marvel.
express car , , , , , ,
TJin old express messenger had finished
the mornlnt's work and stowed away all
the boxes and package * where they \\ould
be easy to ci-t at and now sat on ills ptool
with the door of the express e-ar half open ,
for the morning wa.s pleasant and Uio : .lr.
though bracing , was not cold.
"I want you to notle-e the big cut ju.n
ahead , " he said in a icmlnlscetit way. which
convinced the helper that there was a good
story In sluhl. "The cut Is nearly half n
mile long and , as you will notice , twenty-
live feet deep in places. Here she Is now.
You ae-o It's a hole of some magnitude.
"Yc4irs ago , before this country vas net
tled much , 1 had un experlenve in this cut.
The sn.iw came early that winter and the
snowstorms were heavier than usual. One >
night we pulled out of Denver with sno.v
all over the track and wehadn't gone very
far before It was clear that we must have-
two engines or there was no telling when
we would get through. Well , the extra en-
glno was hitched on and aw.iy we. went , a
double-header Irving to make up lime , with
snow on the track and the svlnd blowing
llfty miles an hour. The wind was ro high
that It drove -mow through ill" windows
c.C the co.iehcs and pa-ssengeis shivered end
duns : round the heater to keep from freez
ing."If
"If you never g-oti caught In a blizzard
em th plains you won't understand what
a storm l.iut was. But : he two engines
were working well and the poor firemen
were kept Jumping. I remember very well
that I thought of all sorts of posplble acci
dents coming from hard running on a track
lu the condition the road was In that
nlghi , but 1 kept digging away at my work ,
wondering when It would ever stop.Vc
were running through level country , where
the snow line ! been blown away by the
heavy wind and we had a long stretch of
track that was almost clear before reachIng -
Ing tMs cut. The men on the engines
thought of this eir. . They knew the coun
try well enough to know that there was a i
snow bank ahead , but they llgured they
could shoot through It with the Impc us |
of the heavy uraln. How we flew for a few
mllef ! I have done plenty of fast riding ,
but f won't soon forget that. All of a sud
den I could feel the train slacking Its
speed. It slacked quicker than w en the
air is on , but It was a steady slacking and
It soon on mo : < > a de-ad stop. I threw the
fide door of tlie car ooen and found my
self flat against a solid wall of snow. It
wan as smooth as a brick wall and Just
about as solid. AVe had run Into this cut
and gene until we were in snow to the top
of thn car.
"When the conductor climbed out on the
slcas of the last coach he could see that
5iww war ui > to the- smokestack of the
fremt engine. Never was , i wedge driven
more tluhtly into a log than we were In
that pack of solid snow. The two engines
could not back us out and there we pluck
ten milts from a town and nlmo.st as far
from any human habitation. The trainmen
dlscusse-d the situation , not without some-
swearing , and finally a brakeman se > ! out
to make his waj.- through the blizzard to
a station to report the fix we were in to
the nearest division headquarters.
"There was a little elay olP.ee out on the
prnlrlc , where a station aqent lived and he
managed to reach -without freezing to
death. But by the time the word couln be
sent lo luudquarters the road was tied up
for 200 miles each side of us and to uet to
us the the FIIOW plows had two days of hard
work. The
passengers cleaned
up every
thing In Ihe Pullman for breakfast nr.el
complained that they were still hungry.
We were down on our luck for sure , but
there Is a rule of the
express compinle > s i'-at
allows a certain latitude In emerfienclep nnd
when everybody got hungry along In ihe
afternoon I i-duilied the conclusion that we
had nn emergency sure enough.
" 1 had in 'the. express car two cacos .f
ejBS. Not another thing In the e-.ir could
'be ' eaten. Now ejrgs ore goorl [ hlugs , l-ut
they don't make steady diet all nloue. so
we sent to a hoiife about two miles mvay
for whatever we could buy. It w.is along
In the afternoon by this time and the wind
Jiad died down , but the cold was terrible.
However , hunser Is won-e and two men
made the trip to the settler's house.
They got a sack of meal , but the settler
didn't have much and could not t-ji.'iro
anything else. I had boiled eggs lor tlielr
dinner , bun i wasn't much of a cook t nv-
lidw nnd then I had nothing to cook with
but eggs and common ! and iiothlnt ; to cook
In but : m old pall. I wasn't In 'shap" to
I furnish a dining car meal Hut that made
' no difference. People came frou ihe en
gines and the Pullman and every pi ice be
tween giael to get what 1 e'oiild feed ll.eiu.
1 kept the stove red-Jiol ami fe-d ( jieni
boiled iiiiifh and boiled eggs : ind c.ikc-s.
such ns they were , made out of forntiunl
and eggs without salt , .soda or irro.i-Je.
" 1 didn't hear a Mugle kick on my rook-
Ing1 and It was Just as well that they did
not kick , for I wasn't leriulred to do any
c'ookln ? and the cither trainmen did rot
want my Jab.V stayed In that r'rift < Wo
elays and two nights before tm-y could clf-ar
the track and pull us out. The cunipiinv
paid for the eggs and squared us with the
t-liipiier. who ptc'bably never did know
what became of them.
"Rut there's Jim whlHlllnir for a station.
Ilere'H where we throw off that bis bundle
of olel duds and the e-owboy'.s saddle. Ry
thi > way , I played undertaker here once , but
tnnt'H another wtory. I'll tell It some other
time. Hurry tip and let's get these bundles
off culck. "
