The strength of the Liverpool market In

NF7W YORK. March 17 There was
some further speculative liquidation going

considerably and the tightening of the
selling pressure berore the end ot tn a ay

The rally was not entirely convincing to
speculative Interests and the later mar

Its sudden break the afternoon before had
proved disconcerting to sentiment. Not
much regard was paid to the news. The
decline was accompanied by the expressed
supposition that another message was soon
to come from the president containing a
severe arraignment of corporations and
capitalists and the recovery led to a shift
so far tn this point of view as the assump

mild In terms and calculated to assuage
the dread of security holder. The pass

of business revival. Reduction of wage

A projected government prosecution
against the Chesapeake Ohio kept alive
the Influence ot yesterday's supreme court

Another rise In the price of copper In Lon

CATTLE There was a liberal run of
cattle here this morning but by no means
excesaive.. Other points had moderate re
ceipts and the general situation wag very
favorable lo the selling Interests,
Packers were all out Tn the yards In good
season this morning with the result that
there was a good strong and active mar
ket from start to finish. Loalrable killers
for the most part changed hands In very
good season In the morning. As there were
quite a number of loads of pretty decent
oattle, the sales showed up very well on
paper, good kinds selling; as high as 86.90,
Cows and belters of good sjuallty were
also free sellers at good strong prices. As
was the case with beef steers the most of
the desirable stuff changed hands quite
readily In the morning.
There were few stockers and feeders on
sals but ths market was firm at ths pre
vailing high prlcea and holders of desirable
stuff found no trouble in unloading.

of sheep were larger
for some days back.
forty-two cars bring reported In on ths
opening. The quality on an average was
nothing extra, there being a considerable
proportion of fair to pretty decent kind
of stuff, but no great number of right good
or cnoice Killers, '
Quod fat wooled sheep and yearlings were
In good demand at fully steady prices.
Boma right good heavy wethers sold up to
$U6o, ths hlgnest price paid for old wethers
so far this season. Shorn sheep wers
rather slow sals and the feeling weak. As
rioted before la these columns, there is a
tendency to widen ths rang between
woolsd and shorn stock, which wss very
narrow during ths early part of last week.
The wire edge was off ihs lambs market
today. There were no choice Mexican
lambs, such as brought $7.60 yesterday, to
make a test of th market today, but
very decent western lambs sold up to $7.00.
The moat of. the offerings consisted of fair
to, medium grades. The feeling was gen
srsiiy weak and the trade none too active.
Borne esles of killers actually looked a
little lower than yesterday. On the other
hand, feeder lambs were In pretty good de
mand and they sold fully steady, at least.
Feoder buyers paid as high as $6.80 for good
lambs to shear, which wers 6o higher than
anything brought yesterday. As was tha
case with shorn sheep, shorn lambs were
also neglected to some extent and possi
bly lor ins same cause, puysra seeming to
feel that at prevailing price the woolad
lamb ars tha better purchase.
Two cars or good Mexican iambs coma In
late and sold at' $7.85. Taking the fat
lambs market as a whole, it would have
to be quoted lOlto lower,
Quotations on wooled sheep and lambs:

. Gregory's Clonal? Seat Flgkt.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., March -(Spe
cial.) For more than flv weeks th Board
of County Commissioners of Griory county
has been engaged tn the work of examining
the petitions filed by two of th rival towns
of that county which ar candidate for
county seat honors. The towns which seek
to capture the county seat from Fairfax,
the present county capital, are Herrlck and
Burke, two of the thriving new town of
Gregory county. '"
Under the law It Is necessary for tha
county commissioner to make a selection
of th town which shall be placed upon the
ballot a the contestant of the County seat
town, th name of only one contestant bo
Ing permitted upon the ballot. Th selec
tion Is dependent upon which town oan pro
duce a petition with th signatures of the
largest number of bona fide resident and
voter of tho county, Boon after th county
eat fight was inaugurated la Gregory
county, the partisan of both Herrlck and
Burke circulated petitions, and each so
Cured a large number of signatures.
Rather than be In session all spring and
summer, th board finally decided that
after Monday of this week It wod Ignore
any new petitions or withdrawal that may
be filed, and will render a decision on tha
basis of those who had signed on petition
or tha other prior, to that time. In vletf of
thw It Is probable the board will conclude
its task this week and seleet either llarrlck
or Burke as the town to make the race
against Fairfax.

regarding tbs deficiency In snowfall to
date: ' ' ' T " " "
During February-th snowfall was de
ficient over practically all sections of !ie

It accumulated, so that at the close of the
month the amount on the ground was lea
than at the close of January. The defic
iency over the eastern slope of the Big
Horn mountains Is more general than over
the other section of the slat, yet th-ro
are but few station from th other water
sheds of the state that report even-an avrr-
te amount of snow on the ground.
Th most encouraging fcaturs of the situ
ation 1 the fact that bver ' practically all
sections nf the ststa the snow that now ex
ists In th mountains f.-ll during the early
winter and Is well packed, aud In excellent
condition to be conserved until late summer.
