CATTLE Thfre waa a fairly liberal run
of cattle here for a Friday, but at the same
time there were none too many to meet the
rediilrenrients of the local trade. All thd
buyers wer out early, and the market
ruled active from start to finish.
Beef steers were In liberal demand, and
the market could safely be quoted strong.
The d titrable grades In a good many cases
sold 6ultic higher , than the same kinds
brought yesterday) Both the hoavy and
light, weights told to good advantage, and
as compared with the first of the week
the general murKet Is fully lb&.'Sc higher.
There were quite a few good cattle In the
yards again this morning, as will be seen
from the sales below.
Cows and heifers were again In good de
mand, and anything at all decent sold at
fully ateady prices as compared with yes
terday. Good light wtight heifers, In par
ticular sold to good advantage, and they
are quite a lltt.e higher for the week.
Canners and cutters, however, have been
alow sale all the week and cannot be
quoted any more than steady.
Bulls were In good demand this morning
and the better grades commanded stronger
f rices. Veal calves and stags were also
ully steady.
There were only Jnst a few stockers and
feeders on sale nnd they were mostly on
the common order. The few good cattle
that did arrive sold at about steady prices,
but the common kinds were slow sale, and
if anythinc s shade enrter. as Is apt to be
the case on a Friday. Representative sales:
BEEF STEERS.

HOGS There win very light run of
hogs here this morning, but as other mar
kets were quoted lower the tendency -here
was In the direction of lower prices. At
the start the market was Just about steady,
but toward the close buyers did not take
hold with as much life, and the last end
of the market waa slow and weak. The
hulk of the hogs sold In Just about the
fame notches they did yesterdsy. Light
hogs sold from 37.20 down, mediums from

very active at any time, but as there were
only about 81 cars on sale, practically
everything was disposed of In good season.

SHEEP There was a very light run of
sheep and lambs here thla morning and .:ie
quality was so common that a good test
of the market rn the better grades was
not made. From the way buyers acted,
however, it was evident that, they were
anxious for good stuff, and that they were
willing to pay steady prices. The common
kinds, though, were neglected, and were
certainly no more than steady with yes
terday, or fully 50g76c lower for the week.
The good fat sheep and lambs, however,
are Just about as high as they have been
at any time and are in good demand.
There were several bunches of feeders on
hand this morning, and the demand was
rather limited, so that trading was slow,
especially on the commoner kinds.

JACK CHINN BEAJEN AT LAST
Bade Constnble Lambaste the Mello-
dloos Pistol Poet of
Kentucky.
Colonel Jack Chlnn, the hitherto In
vincible Kentucklan, went down to defeat
at Clnlcnnatl In an encounter with a con
stable who came to levy on the colonel'!
belongings. With his defeat the colonel
suffers the deepest humiliation, for the
burly constable, not content with punching
him, relieved blm ot two pocket editions
of coast-defense artillery and a big bowle
knife and left the colonel en dishablle
after the encounter.
Colonel Chlnn came to Cincinnati several
days ago and registered at the Gibson
house. He purchased a bill of goods
amounting to probably $75 at Burkhardt
Brothers and agreed to pay the bill later.
Fearing that the colonel would leave the
city and forget the bill, the firm sent Its
colored messenger to collect It. This
angered Chlnn and with bis stentorian
voice he frightened the messenger to badly
that he took to his heels. The firm then
brought proceedings in Squire Dumont's
court and Constables William Crltchell and
Charles Tlmberlake started tor the hotel
with attachment papers.
The colonel was found In his room
quietly eating his supper. When the con
stables announced their business he grew
Indignant and rushed at them to throw
them out. Crltchell, who is a strapping
big fellow, stood his ground and met the
colonel's mad charge with a well-directed
right which sent him sprawling over h'-s
upper table. He rocevered quickly and
went for his weapons. The officer was Just

NEW YORK. Anril 10 R. O. Dun Co.'t
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Aside from the nrevalence of strikes and
the possibility of further Interruption to
Industrial activity next month on this ac
count, the business outlook Is most gratify
ing. Late frosts caused some damage
early in the week, but low temperatures
did not continue and In most sections
agricultural products had not advanced
eumcientiy to surfer materially, tnus tne
prospects are bright for large crops and
heavier sales of fertilisers testify to ex
tensive operations.
Despite some unfavorable weather, east
ern retail trade has been heavy and Jobbing
activity in summer fabrics Indicates a gen
eral expectation of a vigorous consumption
as tne season advances, mere is less
complaint regarding deliveries due to better
tramc laciimes.
Railway earnings In March Increased 18.8
per cent compared with last year and
24.1 per cent compared with 1901.
Cnt in Iron Prices Unimportant.
Undue significance has been attached to
the recent reduction In prices of southern
pig iron, ana throughout tne country a
tendency to delay Dlaclnjr contracts Is
noticed. No other cut In quotations has
followed and In the trade It is believed
that after the temporary uneasiness there
will be a resumption of the buying on a
more liberal scale. Finished steel is eagerly
sought and there Is Increased activity In
outdoor work.
Makers of merchant pipe, tools, agricul
tural Implement! and all kinds of ma
chinery have more business than can be
handled promptly.
The pig iron output nas Dounaea upwaras
with the better movement of fuel and In
a short time Droduction will be st the rate
of 20.000,000 tons annually. These figures
are the bettei appreciated when it is re
membered thMt they are more than double
the maximumu year's output prior to 1899.
In the textile industries there were sun
adverse factors notably the labor contro
versies at cotton centers. Beyond a moder
ate revival of export purchases for China
ihere la no increase in tne sales 01 cotton
goods, both sellers and buyers awaiting
some more definite Information as to the
future. Another rise In the raw material
threatens a shut down at several mills
which have light supplies and few con
tracts.
Manufacturers of mens nesvyweignt
woolens and worsteds receive few new
orders except for filling out sample lines
and the situation Is practically unchanged.
Thus far fall builness Is below normal and
clothiers are not seeking large supplies of
material. Wool has been fairly steady
since the month opened, but none of the
March decline is recovered.
New business is small at eastern snoe
factories, but this is seasonable and no ap
prehension is felt. Moreover, current ship
ments are much heavier than a year ago
and activity la assured for at least two
months arter work Degins on tan contracts.
Quotations are flrmlv held and local job-
hin trxrie Is brisk. Ieather la In better
demand, the strike In the Chicago tanneries
stimulating purchases. Domestic nides nave

norted skins are also somewhat cheaper.
Staple products develop Irregularly as
the season advances and speculation has
again become a prominent iacior.

NEW YORK. April 10.-DRT GOODS
Market has been devoid of feature and
trading has been more or less of a holiday
tku.ra.cur, both at first and aswiod handi.
Pnyers are conspicuous by their absence
and the few who are here are placing

mediate wants only. Weather conditions
have not been favorable to a large retail
business throughout the country.
TRADE UOOU DESPITE
DROPS.
Bradstreet Sees Favorable Indications
to Offset Fnll in Prices.
NEW YORK. April 10,-Bradstreefs to
morrow will ssy:
Fsvorable features this week are the
annusl rush of Easter buying at retail,
which is reported of excellent volume, and
a slight but still perceptible Improvement
In the labor situation crowing out of
mutual concessions. 1'ricrs durltir: March
showed exceptional strength rivsi.lte sea
sonal changes downward In dairy products.
grains and fuel, partlv cniinteritctecl. how
ever, by advances In live stock and meats.
Lumber and building materials of all Kinns
have remained In exceptional good de
mand In spite of numerous strikes, and
finished products In Iron and steel show
strength, but the cruder forms, such ns
pig Iron, have weakened nercepumy,
ostensibly because of the lowering of quo
tations of southern iron, but really because
with Improved transportation and better
supplies of coke has come an enlargement
of iron products to the highest point ever
Known.
It is, of course, too early to measure the
development of fall trade. Some interior
markets report good orders, but large east
ern centers note a holding hack of buyers
of cotton yarns and the demand for heavy
weight woolens is reported to nave oeen
checked by higher prices. Raw wool has
again weakened, though the statistical
posltldn is strong.
Railroad earnings are quite favorable,
gross receipts for March Indicating an In
crease of between 10 and 11 per cent, while
net returns for February show a gain of
6 per cent or an Increase In gross receipts
of 14 per cent.
Relatively the best trade reports come
from the leading western markets, but all
centers report a satisfactory spring whole
sale trade.
The Iron situation, as already pointed out.
is one of marked strength In finished, but
of unsettlement and even weakness in the
cruder forms. Northern pig iron has weak
ened In sympathy with the readjustment
of southern prices last week. Forelcn mar
kets are also reported easier. For Immedi
ate delivery 321.60 is insisted on for pig iron
at Pittsburg, hut 320 would be accepted If
buyers would offer It for the latter part of
the year. Buvers, however, nre not eager
and are holding oft, evidently expecting
or hoping for lower quotations. Domestic
rail manufacturers are full up with orders,
an Indication of this being reports of
American and Canadian roads Inquiring for
steel rails abroad. Structural orders are
in large volume a notable Instance of this
being for requirements for Improvements
to plants controlled by the leading Interest.
The strength of old material Is a notable
feature in the Iron trade at present. Among
the other metals, copper and tin have
weakened again, but lead retains Its old
firmness.
The leather situation Is generally one of
strength. The spring rush Is over at the
eastern shoe manufacturing centers, but
shipments, while smaller than last week,
are heavily In excess of a year ago.
The situation in coffee Is an interesting
one. After a decline early in the week,
which brought future deliveries to the
lowest prices ever recorded, and on which
decline an extensive liquidation of the
former bull Interest was reported, a slight
upturn was noted, due to reports that
Brazil will adopt radical measures, such
as burning surplus supplies of low grades
in order to lighten the load on the market.
This is regarded, however, as hardly possi
ble of fulfillment.
After a further decline, due to dullness
In the refined market and pressure of sup
piles, raw sugar has steadied at what is
said by authorities to be the bottom.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the
week ending April 9 aggregate 2.633,286 bu..
against 8,130.974 last week 3.842.012 in this
week a year ago and 6,645,601 In 1901. Wheat
exports since July 1 aggregate 178.212.774 bu.
against 202,687,636 last season and 162,071,992
Corn exports aggregate 2. 654,732 bu.,
against 2.832.068 last week, 158.665 a year ago
and 2.623.884 in 1901. For the fiscal yfr ex

MONOPOLIZED BY FOREIGNERS
Few Katlve Bora Americans Ragaied
In the Craft of Tarring; Ivory
and Meerschaum.
The trade of the carvers In bone. Ivory,
meerschaum and like materials has never
fully recovered from the blow it received
In the hard times beginning In 1893. There
were at that time probihly more than 300
surh carvers working In New York City.
Many of them were driven out of the trade
Into other and cruder lines of carving, and
only a few of those who thus changed
their medium have been able to find work
of the old kind. Only a very small part
of those who do ruob. carving belong to
the class of true artists In Ivory, bone and
meerschaum. Of such highly skilled carv
ers the whole number could probably be
counted on the fingers of the two hands.
Tho business grows very slowly. There
are few native Americans who have mas
tered the craft. Possibly a single employ
ing carver, a native American of German
parentage, Is the only one now engaged In
the art. Only two skilled Japanese carvers
are employed In this el'y, end no Chinese
carvers have come to town. Most ot those
engaged In the art are Germans, though a
few Frenchmen have worked hero. The
German-American referred to thinks that
most Americans lack the patience to be
come skilled carvers. The American haste
Is antagonistic to the attitude of mind that
the successful carver must maintain.
German carvers of tsste and skill could
earn much higher pay here than at home,
and it more should come over they would
find permanent employment, but they , are
not attracted by conditions here. On the
whole, they can live more cheaply in Ger
many than here, and amid more congenial
surroundings. Another consideration that
deters the skilled carvers from coming to
New York la the rumors they hear of dis
agreements between employers and em
ployed, strlkea and trammeling union rules.
They have a notion that trades union con
ditions here are such ae to disturb the
serenity of the artist. As a matter of fact,
the artistic carver would probably be little
disturbed by the wars of employer and
employed, but the news that reaches Ger
many on this subject Is alarming.
Chinese carvers of real artistic skill
would be very welcome here, but the dif
ficulties presented by the Chinese exclu
sion law help to keep them at home, for
there might be some trouble In having such
immigrants admitted as artists. Then, too,
tbe Chinese skilled carvers are a contented
body of men, earning good pay tor China
and enjoying some social consideration.
Few of them now have the skill of the
earlier Chinese carvers and many do only
the crudest work.
The skilled carver In this elty usually
makes his own tools, forges them In the
workshop, tempers, grinds and polishes
them reedy for ubs. The Japanese carv
ers use much the same tools, and almost
exactly the same methods as the Germans
who work beside them. The pay of the
killed carver la excellent from 13 to $10
a day, according to the character of the
work and-the ability of the carver to Im
press his worth upon his employer. There
are unions of the artistio carvers, but the
ablest of them have no need ot union aid
In maintaining their rights. New York
Times.
Packer Swift's Maxims.
No young man la rich enough to amoko
25-cent cigars.
The richer a man gets the more careful
he should be to keep his head level.
Don't drink. No man, however rich, has
enough money to waste In putting on
style.
Business, religion and pleasure of the
right kind should be tbe only things In life
for any man.
A big head snd a big bank account were
never found together to the credit of any
one and never will.
Every time a man loses his temper be
loses his head and when he loses his head
he loses several chances.
Tbe man that does not know his busi
ness from top clean down to the bottom
Isn't any kind of a business man.
