Trading, though, was fairly active at the decline, so the bulk of the offerings waa disposed of In good season. A larger proportion or tne receipts man usual was made up of beef steers this morning and the general market could be quoted about V10c lower than the close of last week. The greatest decline was on the heavy cattle, while tne nanoy wetgnts f good nean and quality in a good many cases were only .a , trine lower, t-acaera seemed to want the eattle and simply took dvantage ot tne liberal . receipts to ouy them for leas money.. There were not very many cows ana neii- ers Included in the offerings, so the market held about steady. In some cases salesmen were calling the market a little lower, but as a general thing anything desirable sold In last week's notches. Owing to the mod erate offerings everything was disposed of in good season. Bulls were in good demand and prices showed no particular change. Veal calves also commanded steady prices. Speculators did not takr nold or stockers and feeders any too freely and as a result prices were, if anything, a little lower than thev were last Friday. The good cattle seemed to be a little lower as well as the common kinds. There were not very many on sale. thouKh, ao salesmen did not meet with much difficulty in disposing of what arrived.

July wheat will isell above $ 1.00 and September will sell in the OO's. Monday's issue of the RED LETTER contain beyond question the most profitable forecast ever published. It will go into detail, explaining fully why the present Wheat deal will prove the most gigantic and sensational in the history of the pit. The reverse side of the letter will also contain an article on the great inducements of fered to those who invest in WALL STREET and the coming Bear deal in Cotton futures. 8END FOR THE RED LETTER. 8HIP US YOUR CASH CRAIN.

"THE POT OF GOLD" Never before in the history of American mining has so much publlo Interest beer taken and expressed as In Thunder Mounts! n, Idaho (geographically described by Wil liam Allen White, In a recent issue of the " Saturday Evening Post." as "The Pot of Gold") And never before has such an oppo rtuity been offered as now presented by THE "SOUTH DEWEY" MINING CO.. Ltd. which in the strictest and broadest sense Is a legitimate investment not a mere pros pect. The property consists often full mining claims (208 acres) Immediately ad joining the great "Dewey" mine, whose fabulous richness the most skeptical dare not deny. Stock In the "Dewey" (original par value $1.00), Is now held at $8.00 per share, and none for sale. The "South Dewey" being located on the same great ledge, and ad joining the "Dewey," known throughout, the district as the "Dewey" dyke and having the same ore body, can justly claim to equal, if not surpass In value the original "Dewey" (when the same amount of development work haa been done) since It Is one-third larger In area. The ore Is free milling and assays an average of $6.11 to the ton, with occasional pockets running very much higher. Low grade, free mllll'ig ores are the most permanent aa well as the most profitable, for the reason that they can be converted into bullion at a cost of $1 to $1.60 per ton. To continue the devel opment work already done, as well as to purchase the necessary machinery for thor oughly equipping the property, we have decided to place a limited amount of Treas ury Stock on sale at 10 cents per share. The first ten stamp Installment of our hun dred stamp will be shipped Aug. 15, 1903, and we feel fully warranted in believing that we can earn dividends within 30 days from the time our mill is running. We own tho property outright. There are no salaried officers. The stock (par value $1.00) is non-assessable, with no personal liability. The present allotment now offered at 10 ' cents will be advanced from time to time, aa may be decided upon by the Board of Directors. . The time to make money in any enterprise Is between its organisation and its first dividend. Before purchasing stock we want you to write for our prospectus, giving full particulars of our property, together with a most Interesting description of "Thun der Mountain," which conservative investors admit is destined to become the greatest gold mining camp the world has ever known. 7 HE SOUTH DEWEY MINING CO., Ltd.
