MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS
Ejndicate to Dig for Tin in the Bear
Gulch District.
WELCOME CITY TAKES NEW LIFE
Will Control I. arse Area of Likely
around In that Neighborhood
and Experiment with
the Product.
DEADWOOD, 8. D.. Nov. 23. (Special.)
For years parties have been quietly gath
ering up the likely tin propositions la the
Dear Gulch district, and it is now said that
a big deal Is pending for the control of a
large area of ground. As a result of the
Interest which has been lately aroused In
tin, a syndicate of eastern and English
capitalists have bonded a large number of
the most promising groups of mines In the
district and is preparing to devote th
coming winter to an extensive system of
development. With this end in view con
tracts have been awarded Deadwood con
tractors for the erection of a number of
buildings In Welcome City, Just across the
border In Wyoming, to be used for board
ing bouses and offices, assay offices and
storehouses. A new life bas entered Into
Welcome City, and from a deserted min
ing camp of a month or so ago. It has
developed into a place of importance.
Among the different persons who have
bonded their property to the syndicate aro
Mark Heldloff. Andrew Johnson and sev
eral persons holding Interests with them.
The syndicate Is represented in the Hills
by Charles and W. II. Noakes of Chicago
and M. H. Lyon, one of the well known
assayers and mining men of Deadwood.
The prospects of Bear Gulch have always j
been looked upon by the mining men or
the country as the best showing for tin
that has been made In the Black Hills.
There, are many big veins of ore carrying
tin which are exposed on the surface, while
the watercourses have always produced so
tauch stream tin that the early miners of
(lacer gold found It difficult to work their
claims. This tin (casslterlte) has been
taved from many of the placer claims, and
oa some of them hundreds of tons of this
!acer tin has been piled up on the banks,
awaiting the time when there shall be a
market for It. Experiments will be made
Is one of the Deadwood reduction plants
with this product of the placer mines and
the ore while the development of the prop
erty Is under way, and arrangements have
Men made for the transportation of this
ore to Deadwood. Should these experi
ments meet the expectations of the com
pany it will erect a plant the coming spring
UiT the treatment of the ores on the
ground. Two hundred tons are now ready
for transportation to Deadwood, and it is
expected that the first run on it will be
made next week.
Doable Its Mill Capacity.
The Imperial Mining company la prepar
ing to increase its mill capacity to 200
tons dally. Its plant in this city la now
trusting an average of 110 tons a day
The plant was originally built for 200 tons
and is equipped in every way to handle
that amount of ore daily, and all that
will be necessary to bring It up to those
figures will be the addition of a few more
tank and a couple of sets of fine rolls.
When the plant was first built arrangements
were made for the accommodation of roast
ers, but during the summer Just past the
company has made numerous experiments
on large samples of ores, not only from
Ita own mines in the Blacktall and Bald
Mountain districts, but from mines in
other districts of the Hills, and finds that
iut a small percentage of these ores will
need roasting, and consequently will utilise
the building- erected for the accommoda
tion of the roasters for additional tanks
und rolls. The plant of the company in
Deadwood bas been In operation since April
1, but not until very recently has It been
trie to run at Its full capacity, owing to
poor transportation facilities. Its mines
have now all been connected with the mill
by railroad, and lately it bas been running
about 110 tons of ore dally. Since starting
up the mill has treated a great deal of
custom ore, and with the best of satisfac
tion. It is one of the newest plants in
the Hills, and In Its construction a de
parture was taken from the usual method
of building mills of this character, it being
built on the level ground, while the other
plants of a like character are what la
known as hillside planus, depending upon
gravity for the most part In handling the
ores treated In them. Some doubt waa ex
pressed when the plant was first planned
as to the wisdom of building it according
to the specifications drawn, but its suc
cessful operation for the last six months
has proved that the plans were all right.
When the new additions have been mad
the Imperial will be the largest plant In
the Hills using the dry crushing cyanide
process. The company Is at the present
time milling ores from Its ground on Ruby
Basin, Bald Mountain ana Blacktall, and
since It started Its output of bullion has
been estimated to have averaged from $15,-
000 to $20,000 a month.
Ulaalna a. flecond Ton net.
Frank S. Bryant and associates are open
ing up the Bridal Veil Falls group of claims
In the Carbonate district and have struck
some very good ore carrying a high per
centage of iron and gold values ranging
from $( to $15 a ton. They had a tunnel
running Into the hill, between the liroo
atone and the porphyry formations, for a
distance of about 12S feet, but It was in
bad ground and kept caving on them, and
Although they were well Into a big ore
shoot they had to abandon the tunnel and
drive another. This new tunnel Is now
Into the hill about 150 feet, and a little
ore Is coming Into the workings. It will
ha continued for 1,000 feet further and will
tap the Carbonate ore bodies at a depth
ft 1.109 feet, when It Is expected that a
Mgher grade of ore will be struck. Mr
Tryant was in the city last week making
preparations for the winter's work it
being the Intention to keep a force of
miners employed all of the winter, and.
Should the developments meet the expecta
tion of the owners of the ground they
will probably arrange for the erection of a
treatment plant on the property. Several
parties are working along the creek in the
same neighborhood and ull are getting out
good ore. It Is possible that the treatment
plant to be erected In this district will bo
k Joint stock affair and be furnished with
or from the properties which are now
being developed by Individual owners. It
Is difficult of access so very l'ttle ore has
been treated In quantities from this par
ticular part of the Carbonate district, but
that which has has given good returns.
Mill Have a Bin Pump.
The Clover Leaf Mining company on Elk
reek is opening up a Btatlon on the 600-
foot level of the mine and has the main
working shaft well down toward the 700
foot level and when that is rtsched will
put la a big pump, one which alone will b?
capable of handling all of the water com
log Into the workings and which Is now be
ing taken care of by two. The upraUe
from the 600 to the 400-foot level has been
completed and the foul air which had been
bothering the miners has been gotten rli
f. The company Is puttlbg in a switch
from the B. M. railroad to the mine and
building several large coal bins with
sufficient capacity to ensure the mill fuel
for a month or more without replenishing
JX lb yresat time U uiiU it drojiplug
but about forty of Its sixty stsmps snd will
not put them all at wi rk until the con
nections on the lower levels of the mine
have been made and the ore supply in sight
Btifllt lent to guarantee rontlnu us running.
When the new work Is finished this supply
will bo assured. The mill send Into th'
United States assay office at Deadwood a
brirk very two weeks, which will average
from $8,noo to $10,000, but whe.i the mill
la dropping all its stamps this amount will
be doubled.
The Lucky Strike company, on Elk creek,,
Is taking out some very rich ore and is
developing its ground In excellent shape, so
the erection of a treatment plant on the
ground the coming year Is now regarded
as a certainty. The company has a saw
mill In operation getting out lumber and
timbers, and bas built quite a little vil
lage around Its works.
The rich strike on the Peterson ground
In the same district is being developed,
and with good results. The tunnel which
was started on the court) of the vein Is
now In about 100 feet, snd the qualify of
the ore continues good. The vein at pres
ent Is about twelve feet wide, and occa
sional free gold specimen are met with
I ! the ore. Oroshong brothers in the same
district are developing a very promising
group of. claims, sinking on a twelve-foot
vein which crops out on the top of the
divide between Elk creek and Bare Butte
creek. The ore Is a free-milling proposi
tion, but depth enough on It has not been
attained to speak with any degree of cer
tainty as to Its richness. Assays made
from the vein at its present depth gives
returns of from $6 to $8 a ton gold, free
mllllng. There are a number of prospectors
In the district and a great deal of work
Is being done, many Intending to winter
there.
Will Mine In the HI Horn.
LEAD, S. D., Nov. 23. (Special.) The
Galena Ridge Mining company is the name
of a new organization organized In this
city within the past week for the purpose
of developing and opening up mining
ground in the Big Horn country of Wyom
ing. The company Is composed of citizens
of Lead and Deadwood, and held its first
meeting on Wednesday night, at which time
the following officers were elected: Presi
dent, T. J. Drier; vice president, Ernest
May; secretary. Chambers C. Kellar; treas
urer, Robert Drlscoll; superintendent,
Henry Schnitzel. The company has se
cured the control of a large area of
mining ground In the Big Horn mountains
and will begin at once the work of devel
oping It. In the company as Its officers are
some of the best known mining men of the
Black Hills, men who are now In charge
of mining operations of magnitude, and it
Is reasonable to suppose that they have a
good thing in the Big Horn, which has but
lately been attracting attention as a min
ing country, but the gentlemen who com
pose the company have had men out there
for a long time prospecting, and It Is said
that they have got some very good pros
pects.
The Black Hills Mining Men'a association
met at Lead for the first time since Its
organization last Thursday evening, and It
waa one of the largest meetings that the
association has held. Superintendent
Blatchford, of the Qolden Reward Mining
company, delivered a lecture on the forma
tions of the Bald Mountain and Ruby
Basin mining districts and their ore bod
ies, which was of more than ordinary
Interest. At the meeting arrangements
were made tor the entertainment of the
executive committee of the American Min
ing congress, which will meet In Deadwood
on December IS.
Work on the Oro.Hondo group of mines
south of Ltad Is going on more rapidly
since the installation of the ateam hoist
and power drills. The big working shaft Is
now down about 125 feet and is sinking
rapidly. The company is making extensive
improvements at its ground, and within i
few weeks' time will have one of the larg
est and finest equipped hoists in operation
to be found in the west.
WELCOME TO THE NEW BISHOP
Lead Tarns Oat EnmHie to Greet and
Assist In Installation of
the Prelate.
LEAD, S. D., Nov. 23. (Special.) The
town of Lead appeared In its full ecclesl
asttcal strength in honor of Bishop John N.
Starlha, whose arrival from St. Paul to as
sume his new cost was made the occasion
of a remarkable demonstration. From S.000
to 4,000 people participated In the public
reception, the mines of the Homestake
company being closed down for the after
noon. Accompanying the new bishop were
Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, who for
merly had Jurisdiction over the Black
Hills; Bishop Cotter of Winona and Bishop
Shanley of Fargo, besides some fifteen
priests from various parts of the state
The reverend gentlemen were received at
the depot in Lead with carriages and es
corted through the streets of the town by
the band, the Catholic Order of Foresters
Young Ladles of Mary, altar societies and
varioua young people's societies, the
Chrlstofo Col umbo society of the Italians,
the Three Morning Star society of the Sla
vonians and a large delegation of the most
prominent citlxens, afoot and In carriages.
The parade was half a mile long and. very
Imposing in appearance. The dignitaries
of the Catholic church brought up the rear.
preceded by several hundred school chil
dren.
In front of St. Patrick's Catholic church
the address of welcome was delivered by
E. F. Erwin, mayor of Lead. Welcoming
addresses were also delivered by Joseph
B. Moore and Thomas E. Harvey, to which
Bishop Starlha responded briefly and with
much feeling. This was followed by a gen
oral introduction of the new bishop to the
citizens. There are nearly 8.600 communi
cants of the Lead church and a majority
of them were present at the public recep
tion. The formal Installation of the bishop of
Lead diocese occurred at St. Patrick's
church Sunday forenoon. Dlshop O'Gorman
of Sioux Falls presiding at the ceremony.
which was celebrated with pontifical high
mass. Immediately after the Installation
Bishop O'Gorman delivered the sermon.
Hope for Road to Hills.
HURON. S. D., Nov. 23. (Special.)
There Is splendid prospect of Huron and
this part ot South Dakota having railway
communication with the Black Hills before
the close of 1903. William T. Coad of Rapid
City, president of the Federal Railway com
pany, announces that plans have been com
pleted tor the building of a line of railroad
to connect with the Great Northern at
Huron, thence to Chamberlain, Rapid City,
and thence to Boise City, Idaho, and to
Portland, Ore. Mr. Coad has been working
the plan for several years and has Inter
ested In It a number of eastern capitalists
and railway men and Is now satisfied that
the project will result In the construction
of a railway as above suggested. People
In this part of the state are greatly inter
ested and stand ready to give the enterprise
all reasonable encouragement.
llarrylaar Irrigation Work.
CODY, Wyo., Nov. 23 (Special.) The
Shoshone Irrigation company has completed
five miles of its new canal near here. Both
the Sulphur creek and Red Hill flumes
have been taken out and both will be com
pleted by December 1. The work Is being
hurried with all possible speed so as to
turn water into the canal early in the
spring. A large number of homeseekers
have arranged to settle under the canal
next year.
ELIOT MODIFIES HIS VIEWS
Says Labor Unions Do Much for AdvauUge
of Country.
EMPLOYERS ARE OFTEN UNREASONABLE
At "ante Time Holh Sides Are to
niame for Kslatlnac Evils, Which
Mar e Remedied by
Pahllrlty.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 2?.. Dr. Eliot,
president of Harvard, gave a comprehen
sive statement of his views on labor
unions In a speech before the Colonial club
today.
Hi: said the work must be counted
among the efforts to make the lot of man
kind happier and their strength lay In their
belief In this work as their mission.
Enumerating the conditions which he
designated as humane conditions of em
ployment those to which laboring men
may rightly aspire, he put, first, a rlBing
wage based on increased experience, attain
ments and age; second, steady employment
after adequate probation; third, the oppor
tunity for workingnicn to establiBh a
permanent home; fourth, conditions which
enables him to give his employer generous
service and to take pride in It; fifth, the
right to a pension on disability. Those five
conditions of humane employment were not
realized In the great American industries
employing unskilled labor, where the
terms of service were often those of
Instant dismissal." Another serious dif
ficulty with American employment was that
It was spasmodic. Complaints from em
ployes were often mado the ground for dis
missal. Employers Should Know Better.
The present antagonism of employers to
the unions was the fault of both parties,
but on the whole the former were more to
blame because their situation was more
comfortable and their education superior.
The Industrial community was under many
obligations to unions for mitigating evils
such as poor sanitary conditions In factor
ies, an unreasonable number of hours of
work, child labor and the company store.
The oligarchy of capital had combined
effectively and the corresponding combina
tion -of labor was a wholesome check
upon it.
There was no question that the labor
union had come to stay. On the other
band, Its cause was injured by certain evils
which were subversive of fundamental
American doctrines of liberty. Ono of
them was the limit placed on the number
of apprentices and others were the limita
tion of output, the uniform wage, and the
violence which was an inevitable feature of
every strike of unskilled labor.
He saw grounds for hoping that the re
lations of capital and labor would be im
proved In spite of their present unintelli
gent antagonism, partly by frank public dis
cussion of abuses, partly by pre-arranged
agreements for conciliation or arbitration,
and partly by the service which labor
unions would render to capital through
their constant command of the labor re
sources of which capital was in need.

Men-Haters Won by I'nnsaal Methods
of Bold "Wooers.
It not Infrequently happens, says the
Chicago Tribune, that a woman who has
for a long time posed as an inveterate
hater of the opposite sex provides a sensa
tion for her friends by taking a sudden
plunge into the matrimonial sea. And It
Is pleasing to be able to add that more
often than not she takes to It as if It were
and as It undoubtedly Is her own na
tive element, and from a man hater blos
soms into the most loving of wives.
One Sunday morning a few months ago
the congregation of a Liverpool church
could scarcely believe their ears when the
vicar read out for the first time the banns
of marriage between an unknown gentle
man and a woman who had always pro
fessed a profound aversion to the masculine
sex. Indeed, she had allowed this to In
fluence her so far as to refuse the services
of a medical man In a serious Illness, to
forbid any member of the hated sex to sit
in her pew at church, or to perform any
service for her that could possibly be done
by a woman.
If anyone had ever suggested that she
would fall a victim to the tender passion
he would have been laughed to Bcorn, yet
so far aa could be learned she had capitu
lated after a brief siege. By her friends
the occasion of the man hater's marriage
waa made one of great rejoicing, and it
only remains to be said that she afterward
entertained them right royally.
Of a masterful nature herself, her heart
could only be taken by storm, and the
lover whose perception was keen enough
to see this led her to the altar. It Is
said that a more loving couple were never
united.
No less sensational were the circum
stances under which another of the tribe
of men haters became a radiant bride. She
had often been heard to declare that noth
ing would ever induce her to regard ths
opposite sex with anything but contempt,
and had never condescended to accept a
favor at the band of any man.
She would rather go a mile around than
tolerate the company of the mere male.
who she took good care never had the
chance of ingratiating himself with her.
People got Into the habit of saying that she
would rather be drowned than be saved by
a man.
One pleasant afternoon last summer this
Independent young woman was enjoying
a solitary pull up the river near her home
when her small boat capsized and she frunJ
herself struggling In the water. Nobody
seemed at hand to save her, but hearing
her screams a man who happened to be
passing, quickly threw off bis bat and coat
and sprang Into the river to the rescue.
With considerable difficulty he succeeded
In getting her to the bank, whence the
was carried Into a neighboring house and
there brought round. She was most profuse
In her thanks when her brave rescuer called
a day or two later to learn how she was
progressing, which emboldened that visitor
to repeat his call next day.
This visit was followed by another, and
In the space of two or three weeks the
neighborhood was electrified by the news
cf the engagement of the couple. In about
as many months the wedding took place
and proved a happy affair, the damsel thus
developing from a man hater Into an af
fectionate wife.
Four or five years ago there resided with
a wealthy widow a niece who obktlnately
refused to have anything whatever to do
with the opposite sex, and expressed her
determination to live and die in the state
ot single blessedness. Her aunt, who was
an ardent matchmaker, often endeavored
to Induce her to be more gracious towards
masculine humsnlty, but without avail.
She would have none of them, and let It
be known in no uncertain manner, although
her elderly relative had settled In her own
mind whose wife she should ultimately be
come. She had mentally assigned the
comely man hater to ber favorite godson,
mi, strangely enough, eulerlalued, the
same aversion to women ar the niece did
to men.
The old lady died, however, before soring
her wishes realized, hut It was found that
by. her will she had bequeathed all her
property to the godson and her niece on
condition that they were united within
twelve months from the date of her death.
Before they had met each was loud in his
or her protests against the conditions of
the bequest, and emphatically declared that
they would never be fulfilled.
But when they came together for the first
time, which they did to discuss the position
with the executors, they were both struck
by the similarity of their views concerning
matrimony and on things In general as well.
After one or two further meetings the
young man ventured to suggest that as his
fair co-legatee so fully shared his opinions
she should also share his life. This the
young lady finally consented to do, and a
more loving partner no husband ever had.

LONDON, Nov. 23. The situation on the
Stock exchange closed laBt week a trifle
more hopeful than it began, after having
weathered un uncomfortable period of de
pression In Americans and Kaffirs, prin
cipally In the latter, feilver continues to
achieve low record In Its price as a re
sult, It Is said, of a determined bear raid
on the part of Paris operators. The uncer
tainty regarding the future of the white
metal Is accentuated by reports In cir
culation that a gold standard will be
adopted by the straits settlements and
that china is likely to ship large quanti
ties to remit Its war indemnity. The al
most total failure of the two war loana
thut of Natal und British Columbia had
un effect on consols, and home rails also
closed at most uniformly lower prices in
eplte of good traffic receipts. Altogether,
next settling day is not looked forward to
with much satisfaction. The money mar
ket wus firm und is likely to continue eo
until the end of the year.
BERLIN, Nov. 23. Under the Influence
of the foreign stock exchanges business
on the bourse here last ween was stag
nant, but quotations; in most departments
were better maintained than on the non
German exchanges. The weakest depurt
nw,rt uau thut of domestic loans, which.
being heavily sold, lost more ground than
usual. Some operators claimed that the
Belling of German 3s proceeded from the
I'nlled States, but this assertion Is dlB
credited, American holdings in theBe
stocks being too insignificant. The situa
tion on Wull street, however, is regarded
us one of the chief causes of the drop,
fclnce New York continues 10 offer bills
for discount here in large amounts, aim
it Is expected the German demand for
Arm-Hem money will increase toward the
erd of the year, resulting in higher money
here. Hence the tendency to sell do
mestic louns. Foreign government securi
ties huve been quite neglected und lndus
irials were also lifeless, but coal shares
have Improved upon the arrival of cold
weather und the Increased production of
the mines. Iron shares were weak upon
tiie failure to renew the Siegen Pig Iron
syndicate, but quotations generally were
lairly maintained. A meeting was held
Ht Cologne this week of all the German
bar iron manufacturers, and a committee
wm elected to organize a common selling
agency for home und abroad. Steamship
Fharos continued to be offered, but they
showed a remarkable recovery on the
week's dealings. Electric shares were
firmer.
Dry Goods Market.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 23 DRY GOODS
The hardening In the price of cotton
this week has stiffened the stand taken
by the producers and has hampered the
omrattoiis of buyers: Its advunce. how-
ever, was maintained chiefly owing to
speculation. Offerings from India for fab
rics were unimportant. There waa a
slightly Improved demand for the better
grades of shirtings and the reporta In this
connection were generally encouraging. A
fair business has been done lately for
Calcutta and Bombay and there were also
occasional transuctlonB for China, though
no Improvement In the outlook In the
latter market hus taken place A more
active business was done on South Amer
ican account. Yarns were eteady und the
iiiulry for that class of goods was firm,
though this hardening tendency has hud
the effect of lniieillng business. Amerlcun
spun quullllea were in good request and
In many Instances were well sold aheud.
it Is expected that the spinnings from the
higher grades of American malarial Will
be acarvr U lb Btr future,

CATTLE Most of the cattle that arrived
today were consigned direct to local pack
ers snd were not offered on the market,
so that a test of values was not made.
For the week receipts have shown a de
crease of neurly lo.uuu head as compared
with laBt week, but as compared with the
rame week of last year there Is an increase
of a few hundred head.
The market on cornfed steers has been
very uncertain all the week. On most
days there were not over five or six loads,
so that it is very ditilcult for either buy
ers or sellers to tell anything about the
true condition of the martlet. The most
of the cattle have been short fed and have
nold largely from $4.o0 to lfi.25, though aa
hlsh at 16.00 was nuid for cattle that had
been fed about six months and were in
firetty good condition. An extra fancy
oad, however, ought to sell up to $6.75. As
compared with the close of last week there
does not seem to De mucn cnunge in inn
prevailing prices. Owing to the unevenness
some sales look a good deal higher than
others, but the market could not well be
quoted either higher or lower. It in very
evident that packers are not at all anxious
for these half fat cattle, as they do not
kill out satisfactorily.
The cow market advanced sharply the
first of the week but eased off a little to
ward the close. The best grades of both
cornfeds and grassers are but little, If any,
higher than they were a week ago. It Is
a dltttcult matter, sellers say, to get over
?3.00 for anything and the grossers seem
to be selling to better advantage than the
cornfeds, for the reason, buyers claim, that
the cornfeds do not make as good u per
I'fntutr.. dm th erRKfterK. It ma v safelv lie
said that the prices that have been paid
this week for the cornfeds have been very
disappointing. Canners, however, have
heen tn biit demand and have advanced
fully 2oc and in some cases as much ati
3oC. 1 ne meaium ciuhb 01 cuhi ure uisu a
little higher for the week.
Bologna bulls may be quoted fully Wit
25c higher for the week und feeder bulls
of good quality are also a little stronger.
Veal calves have not shown much change
and choice veals are selling from $5.50 to
$6.00.
Stockers and feeders were considerably
higher the first of the week, but the
nigner me nrsi 01 ine ween, dui me
market eased off a little on Thursday and
Friday. As compared with the close of
last w.elc. however, nrlcea on desirable
luut week, however, prices on desirable
stuff look iOU20c higher. Common stuff
baa been neglected all the week.
Western beef steers also advanced the
flret of the week and lost some of the gain
later on. The quality of the offerings to
ward the close of the week, though, was
very Inferior, so that desirable kinds would
probably have Bold a little better than
they did lust week. Range cons are all
the way from strung to 2oc or 35c higher,
the greatest advance being on the canners
and the least on the best grades. Western
Mockers and feeders are also lotfJOc higher
than u week ago.
HOGS There was just a fair run of hogs
here today, and the market opened fairly
active and steudy to strong us compared
with yesterday. As the morning advanced
the feeling Improved so that the market
averaged a shade higher. The bulk ot the
sales went at $6.25 and $6.27, with choice
loads mostly at $6.30, and the heavy packing
grades sold from $6.25 down. The later ar
rivals sold at good strong prices, and as
trading was active from start to finish
everything was disposed of In good season.
For the week receipts show un Increase
over last week of about 9,000 head, but as
compared with the same week of last year
there Is a decrease of about 30,0oo head.
The week opened with an advance of about
a dime, but since that time, with tho ex
ception of today, the tendency of prices was
downward and the week closed about a
nickel lower than the close of last week.

SHEEP There were three or four cars of
fed sheep and lamb here this morning, and
they sold readily ut Just about steady
prices with yefeierday. Fed ewes sold us
nigh as $3 60; weihera, $4.25, und lambs.
$4 75. For the week receipts have been quite
liberal, as a gain Is noted both over last
week and the corresponding week of lust
year. Owing to the liberal receipts prices
have eased off a little, though the decline
Is not at all serious. The general run of
both heep and lambs are not over lo)15c
lower f4,the week, und some of the rhulcer
grades ure not thut much lower. Medium
grades of ewea have probably suffered the
most, but 15c would cover the decline on
those in the majority of cases. The
fluctuations apply equally well to fed. stuff
and to srusaers.
Tbe fdtr luarkal also eased oS UXul5c
as the demand from the country was lim
ited. Common kinds in particular were
slow sale but still very little stuff will
be carried over Sunday In first hands.

Ing, due to weak cables, liberal receipts
und favorable weather lor the niovciiicnl.
The chief supporting Inllaences were buy
ing by the northwest and a good export de
mand. Local traders were unubie to de
termine the utliluue of the leading long
and in consvqiience many of them kept out
of th market. Helling at the opening
caused a slight decline, but buying which
waa credited to a big long started an up
ward movement and the market was strong
Ihroiignonl the day, especially May. which
closed c higher ut 76Vr. December
opened ,c lower at 74Hc, sold down to
74,c, but rallied to 75'i.c and closed Vn lc

cars 9 of contract grade made total re
ceipts for the three points 01 l,o,io cars,

ago.
ihere was a fair trade In corn, but prices
dropped under the Influence of Increased
receipts, better weather, lower canlen and
weakness ot the canh article. December
and January were offered with especial lib
erality and In turn affected May. The de
cline brought out numerous stop loss or
ders. What demand there was came chlelly
irom shorts who wished to play even over
bunday. Receipts were 260 curs. December
sold betwet 11 56c unci 53c and closed V3
down ul 55c.
The oats market, while quiet, was steady.
Elevator interests bought December and
traders sold it against purchases of May
at lc and lVc difference. Un the rise in
May theie was considerable selling of that
delivery. Heceipts wero 1S3 ears. Decem
ber closed ut ;o (i31c and May ut 31 (,c.
