MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS f rtparmtiii Bting Ifade far WinUr Cam paign en Mij Propirtiea, NEW COMPANY GETS IN ON RAGGED TOP Klalnc Aaaorlatlon Complete the Work RaUIn; roads for Entertaining; the Mining Coifrtii. v DEADWOOD, S. D.. Oct. 12. (Special. ) Superintendent Alien of th Lucky Strike Mining company, tbe'grounds of which are situated at Benchmark, on Elk creek, re- ... . - .., v. bad been to attend a meeting of the atock holders and director, of the company. At tha meeting It waa decided to auk for bids and award at once the contract for erect ing a small atamp mill and saw mill on tho ground. The claims of the company are all heavily timbered, and the sawmill will bo used for the purpose of getting out timbers and lumber for the atamp mill. The de velopment which haa been done on the ground of the company during the last spring and summer has opened the ore bodies sufficiently to warrant the making of this Improvement. Mr. Allen expects to fcava the work atarted on the plant this week and to have It in running order thia year. While tha ore la a free milling prop osition It la proposed to add cyanldtng tanka for the treatment of the tailings. Throe veins of free milling ore have been opened up on the property, and on two of them a good deal of development work hag been done, while on the third the work has been confined to the surface and la In the nature of open cuts, which have exposed the vein for a considerable distance along Ita strike, and the ore taken from these working, give very fair assay returns. One vein, which Is shown on the White Horse, Black Horse, Lillian and Bird lode has been exposed for a distance of about 6,000 feet. This vein, at a depth of eighty feet, la fourteen feet wide and will assay from $1S to $22 per ton gold. Another shaft of fifty feet lias been aunk on this vein, from which cross cuts and drlfta have been run, and In all of them the ore la of the same average value. Besides these work ings two tunnels have been driven on the vein, both of them In ore which la as good aa that found in the shafts. About 2,000 feet to the west of thla vein another vein twenty feet In width baa been opened ip on claims owned by the company. The small plant which Is to.be built Is purely for experimental purposes and will be run continually during the winter months and should tha ere prove to be so good as the management has every reason to be lieve It will, a larger plant will be erected next year. Besldea the Lucky Strike company, there are other companlea working ground In the vicinity, but none of the ground has received the development which baa that of the Lucky Strike. The Feterson ground, which haa been worked only on the surface, shows acme vary rich ore, In fact within a faw ft of tha surface several tons of very rich ore have been taken from the vein, which has been sacked and shipped and the returns have been sufficient to keep the work on the property going steadily. A number of Deadwood people are interested In the dis trict and with the erection of the Lucky Strike plant they will be given an oppor tunity to have ore from their ground tasted on a acale sufficiently large to give them a good Idea of what Is In their ground. New Com pa a y oat Ragged Top. The Potsdam Oold Mining company la the name of a new corporation recently organ ised to prosecute mining operations In the Ragged Top district. The company owns 600 acres of land adjoining the ground of the EpearUsh and Dead wood-Standard, two com panies which are at the present time operat ing eyanidlng planta with a daily capacity which aggregates 600 tons. These com panies are operating on the same ahoots et ore which are exposed on the ground of the Potsdam company'a holdings. The offi cers of the company are: William Lardner, president; John Gray, vice president; W. L. McLaughlin, aecretary; A. J. Maltner, treasurer , The above named gentlemen wlth R. N. Ogden constitute the board of directors. Most of the company's ground haa been patented, and tha rest is ready to be patented. The company, will at once begin the work of developing the ore ahoota which have been exposed on its ground, and will alao make arrangements for the erection of a treatment plant. The Potsdam company la a Deadwood organization and has been lncoroprated under the laws of the state of South Dakota. Tba Ak-Sar-Ben Oold Mining company la the name of another new company which baa recently been organized to work ground on Sheeptall gulch and which owna about fifty acrea of good property. The officers of the company are: O. L. Benway, Rock Is land, 111., prealdent; J. W. Good, Chadron, Neb., vice president; A. D. Benway, Lin coln, Neb., secretary and treasurer. On one . of the company'a claims, the Msggle, there haa been opened up one of the largest hoots of ore In the Black Hills. This ore la slllcloua and one of the beat eyanidlng proposition in the Hills, and will assay as high as IIS to the ton. A tunnel is being run on this shoot of ore, which Is openlug It up. and another tunnel has been started on the contact between the trachyte and limestone, and the indicatlona ara that an other big ahoot of ore will be struck. The company will continue work on Its ground all of tha .winter, and get it In ahape ao that It can erect a treatment plant of Its own In tha spring. It is said that the company Is a atrong one and able to make all the improvements necessary to work the ground. Mlnlngr Association Election. The Black Hills Mining Men's association will bold Us annual election of officers on the 18th of the present month. At the (meeting the committees which have been collecting the 11.000 guarantee demanded by the American Mining congress will make a report. It la known beforehand that the amount haa been ralaed and that a fund of at leaat 111,000 baa been aa good aa guaranteed for tha entertainment of the members of the congress when It assemble 'in Deadwood and Lead next year. The aaaoctatlon baa been one of the greatest aids to the mining Industries of the Hills, for it has really been a bureau of Informa tion to th would-be inveator, and the reports aent out by the secretary on prop erties and mining districts have been con scientiously correct, for part of the pur pose of the aasoclatioa la to protect would be Investors. The association has a very large membership, and It come from every district In the Hills, and Ita meetings are not only entertaining socially, but are al ways a source of Instruction, for It Is tb practice at every meeting to have a paper read by seme authority on mining.

Is taking out aome very high grade allver-lead ore, which be la shipping to the Horseshoe smelter at Rapid City. He aent four cara to the amelter last week aad la now loading four more for ahlp xuent. to the aarae place. The ore carries from aixty to 160 ounces of silver and about 66 per cent lead. L'ntll Mr. Murray took a lease on It. It had been Idle for a number of yeara, but be haa cleaned out the old workings, and were the shipping fncUlUaa better could send several hundred ton a week to the amelter, ai tbr la a larre body of ora In the mill. The Rattlesnake, which la being worked under lease by Bart Harris, la producing r. high grada of cyanldlug ere, ahlch la being &hlppd to tha Imperial mill at Deadwood for treatment. Tha laat ahlpment mad? consisted of four rarloada, and Mr. Harris la loading several care at the mine now. The ore goes about 112 to the ton on the tvnage, but Ibfre are strraki In It hlca will aaaay very hl(h. The Sunday mine, rime to the Rattle anake, la taklbg out aome very Rood ore, which la being tent to one of the Dead wood ayanlde plaut for treatment. The ore" la similar to that taken from the Rattlesnake, In fact the ahoot of ere which la now being worked la a continuation of the one In that mine. A ahort time ago Bart Harrla bought I V. .I-.I1.m t a.A.Ila iKa a1 A itlltnA l" i"""" " -" - of this mine, and made auch a good thing out of It that the owners of the property resumed work on the mine themselves, with the resulr that they, have opened up one of the richest shoots of ore In the Ga lena district. The new cyanide mill f r the Golden Crest Is how well under way and ready for tho machinery, which ahould begin to arrive this week. The stone and brlckmasons have completed their work and the car pentera are well along on the building. Work In the mines Is progressing finely and all of the underground workings will eoon be connected with the company'a big hoist. The ore they are getting la of a good quality, and there appears to be an abundance of It. Mich Strike la Colombia. ROCHFORD, 8. D., Oct. 12. (Special.) A strike was made this week In the new shaft which baa been started on the Co lumbia's ground, one and a halt miles from thla camp, which haa attracted con alderable attention In this district, and which promises to develop into aomethlng good. For aeveral months the company haa been prospecting Ita ground, undecided where to sink its permanent working shaft and to erect a hoist. It had been work ing In aeveral place, and a week or ao ago started thla new shaft on the vein where It Is exposed on the surface, and on Wednesday last it had reached a depth of fourteen feet on the ledge when the strike was made. A couple of ahota had blown out a quantity of ore which on ex amination was found to carry free gold, aome of the specimens being rich. The ore body where the And was made la ten feet wide, and all of It prospects well In the pan, while there la at lcaat three feet of the vein which Is exceedingly rich. A sample of the ore taken across the vein has been assayed and the- returns give $.'7.37 gold, .which Is exceedingly high for a freemllllng proposition. The company bas ordered an air compressor piani ana a steam hoist, and when the machinery ar- 1 rives will erect It on the new shaft. Work I will be continued here and by the time the machinery Is in position the shaft will probably be deep enough to require It The company will employ power drills In Ita mining operations at this point, so . the progress in the shaft will be greater than It Is at the present time. In the other workings of the company the ore which la taken from them prospects well, but not so high aa at thla point," and while work will continue in them, the moat at tention will be given to thla shaft and the rich find thoroughly developed. The cdmpany In this vicinity owns 400 acrea of mining land and another group of 210 acrea adjoining the Cochran mine, which It la also developing. ' At the present time a force of ten men la employed by th com pany, but this will be added to at once, and Superintendent Rlcker 1 waa In Dead wood Thursday for the purpose of engaging miners. The company la a atrong one and proposes to open up Its ground thoroughly. TICK PINS OP ANTHRACITE. Gems of Rare Qaallty oa the Market la Chicago. In one of Hoyt'a farces, relates tba Ree- ord-Herald, two characters, two character. Reuben and Cynthia, used to come out on the stage and alng tq each 'other about the topic of the time and about topics that were of no particular time, but which offered tho excuse of putting worda to mus'o. One of them would sing a verse and then the other would reply in like strain. One of thcae verses by Cynthia waa aa follows: Reuben, Reuben, I've been thlnkln' What an awful thing 'twould be If they took to burning diamonds And sold coal for Jewelry. This was Reuben's responae: Cynthia. Cynthia. I've been thlnkln' And I know you'll take my word Not one-half the population Ever d know it had occurred. Ibis passed for merely nonsensical rhyme. No one ever thought coal would be aold for Jewelry, ' but that la what la being' dona in Chicago these days. A man stood at Adams and Dearborn street yesterday and offered "genuine black ' diamond stickpins" at 16 cent apiece. The "black diamonds" were lumps of bard coal fastened to washed gold pins. The sals' of theae Jewels was brisk at tlmea and scores of men wore them In their cravats. Cn tha display board the man held before him was the sign: "Hard Coal. $25 a Ton." Along with the pins were aold badges reading: "We muat bust the trust or the trust will bust us." "The price of these pin wilt probably go up In a few days," cried the street salesman. "Buy now at reduced prices. We guarantee these to be genuine anthrsclte. Come here and get the real article before It la too late." Similar pins are alao to be seen In ahop wlndowa.

PENNSYLVANIA'S GOAL LINE CROSSED Swarthmore Holila the Red aad Blae Down nnd Scores, and Other Hl Teams Have Their Hands Fall. With one of the vaunted Big Four teams scored upon and narrowly mining defeat, and with the other three winning by com paratively small scores, th foot ball games of Saturday seem to have developed Bime astonishing conditions in that company at least. In a hesvy rainstorm the team rep resenting little Swarthmore college held the University of Pennsylvania down to score rf 11 to 6. the Quakers winning only by one 'touchdown. This, too, was through fifty minutes rf play, halves being made twenty-five minutes long. This lack of scoring ability on the part of the Red and Blue Is surprising, far more so than the same quality as exhibited by the remainder of the quartet. Yale only did Brown 10 to 0, but from all reports the Bluea were up against a powerful team, one that Is likely to be heard from later. Then Princeton defeated Annapolis only 11 to 0, which Is not flattering work, though still a credit ao long aa the Tiger goal was un aesalled. Harvard scored heavier than any, with 22 to 0 against the University fit Maine, but It must be remembered thit the Crimson was playing a team that either Brown, Annapolis or Swarthmore wculi de feat, the first two very easily. On the whole the real Interest In the east as far as Saturday's game were con cerned Is found outside of the four lead ers. The showings of Columbia, Cornell and little Georgetown university are the surprises. One week ago the Georgetown team defeated the Annapolis middles 4 to 0. scoring two safeties. This was a great LUrprlse, as Georgetown had never won from the sailors before. This week Georgetown wins again, beating St. John's college 18 to 0. That was, of course, rather expected, but meanwhile on the same day the Tigers win from Annapolis only 11 to 0. Cornell presents a eort of anomaly. The Ithacans had for opponents the Williams college eleven. Two weeks ago Harvard defeated Williams only 11 to 0 in the first Crimson game of the season. Cornell was anxious to surpass this showing and did so in a . way. Cornell . rolled I up thirty-seven points, but then let WII- lami icore ,,x Thls a CorneU WM 6ae to accent, but the score remains to mar the victory. That thirty-seven was Just about twice what the most sanguine Ithacans expected to make, and it look, hi beside Harvard's eleven. At New York city Columbia university found Its first hard gamo of the season with the University of Buffalo men, win ning 6 to 0. This Is revenge by a close mar gin for last year'e defeat, when Columhla waa weak and Buffalo very strong. The Columbians figure prominently In a llffle material for dope wcrk, the facts being: jOn September 26 the Quakers beat Lehigh only 12 to 0. Yesterday Lehigh beat Rut gera 34 to 0. On October 4 Princeton beat Lehigh 21 to 0. The aame day Columbia beat Rutgrrs 43 to 0. Does this schedule, tnen, clasa Columbia down with Lehigh? In the Big Nine Michigan and Wisconsin continue to run up fhe biggest scores, with the University of Illinois coming In a close second, and far ahead of the remainder of the clan, as was predicted. The Oophers meanwhile only plied up twenty-nine points against Belolt; which was hardly what was expected ef them. Belolt la a email school and last season Michigan made eighty-nine against It and Wisconsin forty much earlier la the schedule.. The wins of the Wolverines from Indiana and the Badgers from Lawrence are ao big as to be almost unmentionable aa foot ball contest. Nor has either team anything threatening scheduled up till their own meeting on November 1 in Chicago, the big game of the season. Each school haa been playing for this one game ever since It was agreed upon a year ago, and It la amusing to ae how careful Wisconsin was and ' Michigan also, not to sign a single heavy game before then, the Badgers even cutting Nebraska out of a contest on that account, though ostensibly for other rea sons. Nebraska'a victory over Grlnnell did not bring out a large enough score to be sat isfying. Drake beat Grlnnell a week ago, 11 to 0, and Nebraska should have done twice aa much at least. However, the goal line I still Intact, and that speaks .well for defense. Of the 'same class was Iowa's win over Drake. With the latter team playing ad mittedly ' "bum" foot ball, being alow and out, pf form, the Iowans should have rolled up more tallies than a dozen. In view of these, two games It will be interesting to see ho w.Kansas snd Drake will fare next Saturday. That game will offer the first line of the season on Coach Curtis' team, which he will take north against the Badger, of hla alma mater a, week- later, and which playa Nebraska at Lincoln on November 8. Missouri's showing against little Simp son college doe not speak well for the Columbia boy. A score of 11 to 8 1 no compliment to the Tiger of the west, and that they let Simpson score Is still stronger criticism. A they stand today, Nebraska has plainly a far better team than Mis souri, and la probably superior to Kansas. IOWA GETTING GOOD PRACTICE Game with Drake Serves to Correct Some of It Serious Faalts. IOWA CITY, la., Oct. 12. (Special.) The close of the second week of the Iowa foot ball season with the total scores of the 'varsity 76 to a Is most satisfactory to the Iowa coaches and management. The game with Simpson college on Iowa field next Saturday wilt furnlah the practice desired lor the third werk without injuring the players too raucn for appearance on the day or tne nrat iia contest ot the season a week from Saturday. The plays which are to be used against Minnesota on Iowa held October 2o will be largely under control by the team by the end of this week. Four new plays for the gume with the Gophers were tried In practice the lattnr part of last week until they were reduced to a smoothness satisfactory to loach Knloe. The Drake name Saturday furnlehed the kind of practice which the Iowa team needed. The tackles this year have not had the practice which they Hhould have hail and the strengtn or tne I'raKe team being largely In its tackles, the instruc tion gained from the contest will bo far toward making these two positions stronger and able to stand against Minne sota. The halfbacks were given a training Saturday which showed Its benefit beforH the done of the game. The Iowa backs have been tackling high this year. Thla la due partly to Injnrlt to their ahoulders which have made them wary of attempting the correct low tackle when they seemed able to down the runner by an eaxler method. Drake, however, has some fast halfbacka, who eluded the Iowa barks with their high tackks In the tlret part of the came. Before the end ol the first half the liawkeye barka had learned their les son and- were tackling as they should. An other weeknea (if the Iowa team was Its slowness In charging when on the defen sive. Ihls was particularly true of the tackles. Th'a gave the Drake backa an opportunity to get paat them and threw upon the ends ao mu h labor that the ends rebelled quite stoutly In one of the many pauses of the game. The tackles changed their charging and stopited th runs which had bothered tne Hawkeyea and afforded the Drake men two tries at a field goal from the Iowa twenty-yard line. Th failure ol th lua team' U run ua a larger score Saturday waa Isrgely due to the exasperating and unusual way In which Drake played the same. Stopping after every down to get breath and long, wordy contests with the referee were new things to the Iowa players. Much of the Iowa game la Ita swiithesa of attack and It was Imposslhle to attack swiftly when the opponents laid ilnwn after every lown. Two eara ago Drake attempted thla sort of play, but It was stopped at once by Ref eree Ralph iloagland. Cmpire Burkland did all he rmild Saturday to atop it by yelling "Play ball!" until his throat was iiuarsc. but he did not avail with the ref eree. Mr. Btlpp was tsken as an official on verv short notlre, it being thought un til . midnight Friday, owing to nondelivery of a telegram, that Paul Haynen-of Chicago could be obtained for reJcree.

WALL STREET PAYS PENALTY Exeeaelve Speculation. Leads to Liqui dation Which I Coatlr to Speenlatora. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. (Special.) Henry Clews' weekly Wall street letter says: Wall etreet Is paying the penalty for ex cesaes ot the last twelve months. Forced liquidation Upon a very extensive scale has been going on for several weeks, particu larly in stocks which had been advanced by several well known wealthy cliques whose activities had irequently been a sub ject of wonder and criticism. Apparently thee gentlemen had not aulflclenily pro tected themselves against the fall mone tary stringency. Call money was sharply withdrawn, and as time loans matured they could not be renewed upon the old terms or upon the old collateral. Bankers found good and more legitimate employ ment for their tunds in the usual crop and trade demands, and . resolutely set them selves in opposition to continued fostering of reckless speculation. At last New York banks found it to their common Interest to put a check upon the plunging opera tions which have recently characterised the transactions of certain cliques; and this they have done none too soon, in a manner and with an efficiency that deserves the thanks of the entire financial and business community. New York bankers with their vast control of credit have a power of re straint upon speculative excesses which no ether bQdj' of m?n p??e""j end their hreailth nt view amiarentlv convinced them that their own. interests are best conserved by unitedly acting for public welfare. Had it not been or the conservative attitude of the banks, stimulated of course by awk ward monetary conditions and a sense of self-preservation, we should no doubt have run Into a whin ot craiy speculation which would have ended In premature panic and disaster. As it Is, present liquidation will clear the financial atmosphere, and unpleas ant consequences, if such occur, will be confined to Wail etreet instead ot spreading into tbe channel ef trade and industry. i Outlook Not Settled. The money outlook is by no means set tled. Much relief has been fTorded by the heavy liquidation In-atocka, but the tension s likely to last with greater or less, degre until the end of this year. Europe has dis appointed us In not sending gold to build up our depleted bank reserve. Apparently foreign banners are of opinion that they have made ample advances to American borrowers, and that a further extension of credit in this . direction 1b undesirable in view of the speculative temper here. Paris, Berlin and London all of which were in a pobltion to spare a few millions sterling for the United States, 'have changed their at titude towards this' market and raised the terme on which we could tmport more gold to prohibitive points A f-'w millions have lust arrived, or nre .'jou' due, but this will oe qui'.o insufficient to afford any substan tial relief. Even the treasury, alter ex haunting almost every resource. Is unable to give the dealred asslatance. A forced tontrrctlon in loans Is the only remedy, painful ua it may be, for depleted bank re- ervra Acnnrrilnv to the last official re turns the loans In the 4,o0 national banks In the l'nlted Stales on September 16 stood at 83,2W,Ot"),uOO, an. increase of 82t1.00o,0O over the high ngures or iswi. curing ine same period there were decreases of 0UU.4W0 in pecle. 39,200,000 in legal tertder and o. 800,000 in national bank notes. No U t ter reason for drawing in the yursestrtnga need to be produced. Railroad Earnings Iaereaae. Railroad earnings' continue to show re markable gains; partly a result of heavy westbound traffic, which usually commands high freight rates. Net earnings, however, r. frequently not so satisfactory as last year; the higher coBt of material, the in creased cost of operating and the advances in wages all maKing neavy mruuua mm pronis.

The coal strike has become a depressing factor in the market, not so much for Its effect upon the coal shares hi for the lmi,ortant question Involved. 'Ihe threatening attitude ot labor and the sharpening of issues between monopolies of capital and monopolies of labor are likely to have a seriously deterrent effect upon all oorts of new enterprises, unices an early settlement of the coal strike Is forthcom ing. -The almost certain projection of these issues Into the coming election and the In evitable ralntns of a new set of economlo problems with which the country Is not yet prepared to deal are certain tp have a de posing effect upon all line of business. It is fortunate that the country is still enjoy ing grat commercial and Industrial activ ity and that general conditions are sound; but it would be folly to overlook that a new set of Influences are coming Into promi nence which will have to be seriously reck oned with In business affair a well aa In politic. ' Improved by Llqaldatloa. The poUIn of the market as a whole has unquestionable been greatly improved by the liquidation of the last few weeks. The tent his shown that there are no weak etiots of Importance, and an effective check has been put upon undeBlrable speculative movement. The present, however is not faxorable to the Wing, of toc The scarcity Of time money as we as call m"eyyu a warning. There is s til la prob ability of further squeexes in the money market and sharp raids upon weakly held stocks. A great change in existing condi tions must come If we are to have a genu ine bull market during the present year. Sharp upward reactions are not at all un likely, but ttocks will probably be a good sale at such times for several weeks to "me even if the decline, which reaches ab ut 14JH points, should not be extended, liullisb enthUBlaum has been much chilled, and a period of rest will be m pessary for recuperation, even under favorable circum stances. - v At Coffee Market. - NEW YORK.

For the week receipts have been lairiy iioerai, but a compared wltn last week there Is quite a decrease. As compared with the corresponding, week of last year there is a big Increase, which makes the Increase for the year to date over 125,000 head. There have beet very few cornfed steers on the market this week, but it is safe to call the better grades fully steady as compared with the close of last week. Tho common and warmed-up cattle have sold rather unevenly, as packers seem to prefer the westerns to that class ot cornreds. Tne market, though, on the common kinds, could not be quoted much of any lower. The cow market has been In pretty good shape most all the week. On Monday and Tuesday there was a sharp aovance. but since that time a little of the advance has been lost. The week, though, shows an advance of fully 25c, and on the choicer grades Sales have been made that looked fully 35c higher. There has boen a good, active market all the week 'and prices are nearly back to where they were two weeks ago. Bulls, veal calves and stags have also sold fully as well as they did last week. The common kinds have been neglected, but desirable grades have sold at satisfactory prices. The week opened with stockers and feed ers active, and by Tuesday an advance ot 15y25c had taken place. That, however, proved to be the high day of the week, as since that time the demand from the coun try has not been up to expectations. The good cattle are probably about steady with the close of last week, out the common to medium grades are unevenly lower. It haa been even harder this week than last to dispose of the cattle lacking quality, and a good many sales late this week were made that looked 16c, and In extreme cases 25c, lower than the same kinds sold for last week. , Western beef steers of good quality have been In active demand all the week, and aa the supply has been limited, prices havo improved 15c to 20c, and In extreme cases a quarter. Commoner grades have not shown that mucn aovance, nut sun even tnoie I sre higher than they were a week ago. sre higher than uiey were a weea ago. Western cows are also 2636c higher for the week, the greatest advance having taken olace on the better grades. Stockers I ll'a.larn on m'N are Hi HA 12,31. and feeders advanced ImiZSc the first of the week, but all that gain nas been lost and more. too. The atrictly good rattle are not much lower than last week, but the common kinds are fully 15c lower, and In some case 25c lower. Representative sales: C. F.

At this point the break amounted to nearly a dime. The bulk of the sale went from $0 sw to J..00 and as high as f7.07Mi was paid. There waa no particular cnange in tne margei irom start o flnlah and. as the ofTerlnga were light. practically everything was disposed of in good season. The supply of hogs for the week is not much different from last week, but aa com pared with the corresponding period of last year there 1 another decrease. For the year to date the falling off amounts to about 27.000 head. The tendency of prices has been decidedly downward ever since Monday and as compared with the close of last week the market la S&frtOc lower. This decline carries the market to the lowest point reached since August. Sept. 16.. Sept 18. . Hep'. 17.. Kept. 18.. tept. 19.. Sept. 20.. Sept. 21.. Bopt, 22.. S(!pl. a.. Bi'pt. V4.. Sept. 25..

SO 16 77 HI 110 I 7S U 141 SO 4 M SHEEP Thi ha been an eventful week In the cheep market, a on Monday the largest number of head arrived since the )ards were opened, and the supply for the week has alao broken all previous rec ords. As will be seen from the table above over lou.000 have arrived this week, while the previous high mark was 86.K21, which arrived during the week ending October 21, 1901. In aptte of this enormous run the market on good stuff- hss held up in very satisfactory manner, which 1 taken as uti indication of the liberal demand at this point. There were no fresh arrivals ef sheep and lamb today, so that a tent of the market was not msde. As compared with the close uf last week th market on fat sheep and lamb ot dealrable quality ia steady to strong and active. The eupply haa been none too great to meet the de mand, but. on the contrary, packers could not get enough a good share of tne week to fill their orders, as the bulk of the receipt were feeders. The common kinds of killers were not very active, but still they are also steady for the wet-ic. The big end of tne receipt ail U week ennolrted of feeder and the quality was far from being choice. The strictly good to choice fe"der wethers and yearling and alao choice la-nba showed very little chsngo rrom the close or last weK. The common klrds. 'hough, are all the way from lfe to ?.ic lower. Receipt ato Included a good many light- lambs of rather common tjuallty and also a great many old ewea. for which the demand was very small, ann as a re- etilt trade on that class of stuff wa ex tremely dull and prices broke In bad ehap..

The rate of discount, which responded only feebly when the Bank of England rate was advanced, have -I - .4,1.. .n , U- 41 ... rtAn, three months' bills. The weakness ap pears to be due to lessening apprehension of unfavorable developments in New York and the accumulation of funds In the hands of bankers and brokers. The market, which supplied Itself liberally from the Bank of England lust before the advance of the official minimum, has still plenty of money at It disposal. In the meantime the bank is not in a position to control market rates, and borrowers are getting what short loans they require at 24 per cent, or less than the ratea paid for money on deposit. The Investors' Review deplores the fact that London discount and credit rates are so low when danger of an acute kind still exist In New York, and when gold is In such strong demand elsewhere. The Review warns the market that London's reserve Is dally losing more or less In the exporta tion of sovereigns to South America, Egypt snd elsewhere, and adds: "Nobody seems to lead In theae shipments, but they may give us a painful surprise." The tone of the Stock exchange Improved during the last week, owing largely to the opportunities afforded by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw for American banks to In crease their fscilitles of lending and dis counting American stocks here are regu larly tending upward, but there is no Im mediate prospect of a boom in any quar ter. The attitude of the public continue to be nonspeeulatlve, end there Is no par ticular disposition to Invest In stocks. In vestors generally are waiting to see what will next happen In New York. The fact that the New York associated banks are not availing themselves of Secretary Shaw' proffered facilities caused surprised com ment here. It is considered doubtful whether the gold now reschlng the United States will ease the situation sufficiently to make speculation safe. BERLIN, Oct. 12. The bourse last week was again much under American Influ ence and New York report were watchM with very great interest. Nevertheless, the Incident at Montreal and forced liquida tion on Wall street did not markedly affect quotations here, the return of chesp money rates, together with other ractors, having given a certain firmness to values.
