COMMERCIAL.


The general markets for the week
have been moderately steady. A down
ward tendency was shown early in the
present week in many lines especially
cattle, sheep, and butter. Hogs hold
steady with a fair prospect for modera-
tely firm market during the week.
Buyers think the greater bulk of this
crop having gone in will tend to main
tain asteadiness in the market and other
advices would appear to second this
opinion.
The drop in butter is hardly unex-
peeted as it has been on the downward
turn for several weeks. 1t is extremely
doubtful if it again reaches the figures
prevailing during the early part of the
winter.
The local market in this city has tiuc-
tuated some during the past week and
the receipts have not been up to the high
pressure point obtaining ten days ago,
but enough is doing to show shat the
crop is by no means exhausted But
few cattle are coming in and it is though
that but few are left, owing to the out
put in the early part of the winter.
How true this view is the future will tell
The grain market remains. firm, both
corn and oats being steady at 40 cts.
Wheat is nominal at $1.35 to l 40.
Taking the markets as whole sellers
have no cause to complain and need
have no fear for the future.

Mr.. HUGH A. MOORE, while stopping
at Madison on a return trip from Chic
ago. met the chemist of the State agri-
cultural school Mr.. Magnus Swenson,
who presented him with samples of the
sugar manufactured by him the past
year from amber cane, grown ut
the state farm. Mr.. Moore brought
away with him samples of three differ
ent kinds, brown, light brown and
white. all of which in appearance differ
but little from ordinary sugar such as is
bought at the store. On tasting the re-
semblance is still more perfect as no
traces of the q sorghum" taste remains
and to all intents and purposes this
northwestern sugar appears fully equal
to the best southern article. About
1000 pounds of sugar and 60 gallons of
molasses, it is estimated, can be manu-
featured from an acre of the amber
cane. Samples of this sugar were left
at THE HERALD office where they can
be seen at any time.
