Twelve tons of fresh beef In refrigerator

Monday in lis hours from Chicago. The
economist says: "When Leon county does

with fresh, fat beef" :,
The following is from the Cincinnati
Times-Star: There can be no objection TO
an American citizen pasturing his cattle on
the public domain when the rights OF 9th
ers are not interferred with, but when for
eign capitalists come over here, buy STOCK,
and coolly proceed to utilize the grass on
government land, protest would seem 10
be In order. A letter from Wyoming saws
three-fourths of the great herds now pastur-
ing on public land in that territory are
owned in England. Wouldn't 1t be the
proper hing for Uncle Sam to require these
Engiishmen to either settle in this couctry
or pay rentP

LUMBER AND BUILDING MATERIAL.
Pork packers complain that it is hard to
secure lean hogs, and the swine now seek
ing market are too round and heavy to put
into the foreign style of meats now most IN
demand. The average. weight OF hogs
packed in the west TO date is upward OF
twenty pounds per hog in excess OF last
year.
Last year the average packing price was
81. %, and at this time the packing prices
range at $4.25 to $475, or somewhere near
$40 on an average; pork was then worth
over $50 barrel, and is now worth less
than $12. And the Price Current is a bear;
Packers at this point-at least some OF
them-have ceased to hope to secure their
hogs at less than 81 so. and, of courfe, the
product must sell, ii their calculations be
even approximately correct, for more than
$i2 II they realize any thing on their invest
ments. To use the prospect, In spite Of the
heavy supply, looks ultimately bullish.

The Atlanta Constitution says: "The
southern lum bermen are not over prosper
ous, and the causes OF the present condi-
tain. There are no reliable quotations, no
regular market for forest products. No
two dealers are apt TO agree in the matter
of prices. Then again the demand u al
most wholly local, and when the local de.
mand slackens the market Is glutted. and
the millmen, who have men to pay and an.
imsls TO feed, are forced to accept almost
any Offer"
