The movement against the shorts showed
evidence of organisation and the posses

however to the small offerings of stocka
for sale and this condition, in turn, Is due
to the subsidence of apprehension on

used with depressing effect some times
when speculation Is In a different mood. A
quieting of anxiety over a posslblo trado
recession .is perceptible In a similar way.
Iho Improvement reported in the steel
trade Is responsible partly for this better
reeling iho steps taken by the railroad
corporation to raise new capital with a
view to going, forward with Improvements
and, bettarmenta form an element In this
feeling of encouragement. Even the copper
trade came In for a share of thla cheerful
reeling today by reason of the reported
decline in the European visible supply of
the metal. The decrease since February
16 waa small, but was the first reported
for many months and had added signi
ficance from tho laraa exnorts from thla
couritry, which have gone Into foreign
supplies in the period covered. The price
of the metal advanced strongly In London
today and copper securities there aa well
aa here, advanced.
Some dlsannolntment wns f1t tKot
terday's rumors of agreement upon a basis
for settlement of the Philadelphia carmen's
strike were without confirmation. No
effect was caused in tho market. Little
attention was paid to any but favorable

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were fair
again today, making the total for the three
days 16,000 head, about the same as a week
ago, but larger than a year ago. by over
4,000 head. The market as a whole wag In
very satisfactory condition.
Buyers of beef steers ware out In the
yards early In the morning looking for sup
plies and such oattle as found fayor In
their eyes sold lay 15c higher than yester
day. On the other hand inferior kinds of
cattle, or pretty decent kinds that did pot
happen to suit buyers, did not show so
much Improvement, being rather slow.
Early receipts changed hands In very good
season.
Desirable cows and heifers sold 10c higher
at least than yesterday, In fact a good
many were quoting that kind ot cattle 10i$
lfo higher. Common to medium cows did
not show much change.
Desirable feeders were fully steady, which
means that they are selling very high, as
the market on that kind of cattle has
been high every day of late. While good
light cattle are not very plentiful and are
soiling to fair advantage, common and In
ferior light stockars oontlnue slow and
weak, as noted above.

BEEF STEERS.
SHEEP Shipments kept straggling in
all through tne morning, with the result
that there was hardly enough stuff on sale
at any one time to afford a very broad
view of the situation as a whole. In fact,
there was practically nothing In the way
of lambs Included among early offerings,
the big bulk of first arrivals consisting of
wethers and yearlings.
Estimated receipta were again limited,
and buyers that had orders to fill, bought
up such strings of killers as suited their
needs In very good season. There was little
notable change In either direction ns fil
es prices were concerned, the morn fln-
isnen gtancs meeting with the greater
preference and selling more readily, of
course, red western wethers were good
enough to command $7.60, and while this
rigure is the highest ever paid at this point
for stock of this description, there have not
been enough wethers turning to murket
lately to give sn accurate Idea of the sd
vsnce. Extra prime wethers would prob
ably soil up to $7.75, or even better.
The Inquiry for wooled stuff, even though
fat, Is still urgent from rural sections and
shearers have been taking odd strings of
ten oiteringa hack into the country lately
at prices that are as good or better than
the packer Is willing to pay. The volume
of business, however. Is seasonably small
on account of limited receipts.

HOGS It was another pace-making mar
ket In the hog yards this morning, featured
as usual by new high tops and a new
high average cost. Moat of the early sales
were Just about a dims hliiher tlin.11 yester
day's average trade and both packers and
siiippera seemed anxious enough for ma-
terlal at the advance, the big end of the
supply, almost 100 loaisa, selling as above
noted.
Toward the close, after most of the larger
orders had been filled, the demand flat
tened out somewhat and late arrivals
changed hands at prices about a nkkel
lower than at the opening.
A considerable portion of the receipts
sold at $9.5tKa9.60, and on up to $9.75, which
figure Is the highest ever paid at this point
for full loads. Yesterday's bulk, It will ba
remembered, went at $9 4O3.50, with tops
at $9 65. and a spread of $9.io9.26 purchased

Startling Statement Made by Engineer
Fox in Defense of Kiver
Improvement
WASHINGTON, March i Hearings be
fore the senate committee on commerce
In reference to Missouri river Improvement
proposed by the rivers nd harbors bill,
continued today. , .
S. Waters Fox, a civil engineer of Kansas
City, who was In the government servlca
tn Missouri for nearly twenty-five years,
was the principal witness. He said It waa
entirely feasible to get a twelve-foot ehan
nol from St, Louis to Kansas City, six feet
to Sioux City and four feet to For Ben
ton.
Mr. Fox made the startling; statement
that the Missouri river eroded thirteen
acres of land per mile every , year from
Sioux City to St. Louis and that much of
this erosion could be avoided by the pro
posed improvements. Kansas City will put
tn a million-dollar boat line from MlBsoiirl
whether the government makes the Im
provements or not, said Mr. Fox. He added
that the line would be much more effec
tive If the government work Is done.
