asr-ss -
Co. s weekly review Of trade says: The
stock market has rushed ahead until II
has absorbed all the money within reach
and now some signs OF reaction appear,
with little selling by foreign holders.
Substantially the same phenomena have
been observed in wheat and corn and in
the market for pork products. Each has
at command a limited amount OF money.
When that supply is absorbed, whether
by accumulation of stocks carried or by
advancing prices reaction is natural.
The tendency of prices during the
past week has been downward. Wheat
declined cents on sales here Of only
"A, 600, 900 bushels, corn q cents on
sales OF q. 500. 600 bushels, while oats
are steady. The trade begins to com
prehend that inside Of thirty days new
crop OF wheat will begin to come into
the market and while winter wheat is
certain to be short, the reports from
spring wheat States indicate great in
crease in acreage and good condition.
The reports from most cities are al
most uniformly encouraging. At Phila-
delphia in the leather and boot and shoe
trades there is activity, while the wool
manufacture is hindered by apprehen-
sion OF higher prices, and spinners take
for immediate wants only. This Is true
OF Boston also. The prices realized at
the recent fiannels auctions here have
depressing influence. At Chicago dry
goods sales exceed last years and
payments are fair. but the clothing
trade is duh and the fact that
bank clearings are larger than ever
before finds explanation in speculative
activity in the grain and pork markets.
St Louis reports good trade and sup
plies OF money equal to the demand,
while at Pittsburgh trade is rather dull;
at Cleveland fairly active. causing some

only fair at St Paul, improved by re-

The monetary situation at New York

The foreign trade Of the port is more

A NEBRASKA DECISION.

Elevators May lie Erected on Railroad
Property By Private Parties.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 15.--About a
year ago the Farmers Alliance at Elm
wood, Cass County, applied to the Mis-
souri, Pacific for permission to erect an
elevator on the company's right of way
at that station. This the company de-
MED The Alliance applied to the
fief.. H9R6s' 86arGGr "dSSFd' tie 'otase
and after deciding among other
things that an elevator was an
appliance necessary for the shipment Of
grain and that the granting of the right
to erect elevators to other parties and a
refusal TO grant the request OF these
complainants was an unjust and un-
reasonable discrimination, ordered the
company TO grant the complainants a
site for an elevator.
This order the company refused TO
obey and Attorney-General Leese APP
piled to the Supreme Court for writ Of
mandamus 10 compel the company to
obey the orders OF the board
The Supreme Court granted the writ
yesterday. The decision is justly re-
garded as an important one, as it settles
the question Of the power and jurisdic-
tion Of the Board Of Transportation over
this class Of cases. IL also settles the
rights of the people TO erect elevators
at the companys stations and to be ac-
corded equal shipping facilities with all
others. This was test ease on which
the fate OF fully dozen other cases in
various parts of the State depended.

THE PlckLER PLAN.
macune Continues His Arguments r CritI-
cisms and Doubts.

cisms and Doubts.
WASHINGTON, May l5.--Mr. Macune,
representing the Farmers Alliance, con-
tinued his argument before the Ways
and Means Committee in favor Of the
Pickler bill TO establish sub-treasuries
for the receipt Of agricultural products
and was questioned by members OF the
committee respecting the details and
probable effect Of the bill.
Mr.. Bayne wished 10 know II one Of
feet would not be TO encourage over
production. Mr.. Macune replied that
IL would not, for just as soon as the
farmers calling became more profitable
than others there would be an influx OF
men into that business which would re-
suit in reaction and finally the restora-
tion Of an equilibrium. To his mind no
fixed volume OF currency, no matter how
great, would meet the needs of agri-
culture. 1t wanted an elastic medium.
The farmer sold his crops in the fall
when prices we're lowest and bought his
supplies before harvest when prices
were highest. Crops were marketed in
two or three months Of the year and
this marketing annually caused great
stringency in money
Mr. Flower feared that the plan
would lead to banking on livestock,
iron, lead and silver orO. They wero
getting along now in the latter direc-
ton at the other end of the Capitol. In
time the people would have every thing
''in hook" In the course Of ten years
the Government would be nursing the
children and the women working in the
field. The true remedy for the farmers
ills was the manufacturers plan. They
should regulate production, raise only
enough produce TO meet the peoples
wants and thereby get fair prices.
Mr.. Macune proceeded to explain the
process proposed to regulate the issue OF
produce certificates. He said that the
necessity for excluding imports of agri-
cultuEl products was obvious IL the
qualiB Of the certificates was to be
preserved. The certificates would con-
stitute the soundest and best currency
in the world. Probably not one-half
OF the $50, ,OOO, 600 appropriation asked
for to put the new machinery in action
would be required, but the sum should
not be absolutely fixed at minimum
as in time it would be necessary to ex-
tend the system to include all OF the
the products OF labor not covered by
patents.
In conclusion Mr. Macune said that
the National Alliance had not sent out
a single printed petition and that those
petitions and demands now pouring in
upon Congress were the spontaneous Of
ferings of the farmers of the United
States, who were convinced that they
knew what they wanted and we're going
to have it.

STOCK ITEMS.

In fattening stock, grass can be used
10 help, but the proportion should be
much less than IN feeding for growth.
In fattening stock for market when
It can be done without too much incon-
venience, IL will be best TO keep tho
young stock separate.
II the hogs must be kept confined, In
majority OF cases IL will be found best to
cut rye or clover and feed them regu-
larly; better health and thrift can be
secured.
The successful stock-raiser must know
how TO breed, feed and market 70 the

Losses Of range cattle in Nevada were
very heavy the past winter. Whole
herds were wiped out in some cases and
many we're cut down from seventy-fve
to ninety per cent, says the Chicago
Drovers' Journal.
Breeding mules, like breeding horses,
can be made most profitable by only
breeding the best The cost Of service
is the principal item of expense, while
good sire will make a considerable
difference in tho quality.
II young pigs are permitted TO run
with the fattening hogs, and even II
they have in addition the run Of a good
pasture, they will not make so good a
gain nor prove so profitable as pigs that
are fed less grain during growth, and es-
pecially so long as they have plenty OF
grass or clover.
II is difficult to give an exact ration
for feeding animals ofany kind, as there
is so much difference in their require
ments that what would be overlooking
with some would be an insufficient
quantity with others. The proper guam
tity is that which, with grass or clover,
is necessary to keep in good thrifty
condition. Less than this is loss and
more than this is a waste.-Exchange.

Generally there is little danger of

the greatest danger of doing this is in
the summer when the stock are allowed

Of stock, at least grass is the cheapest

It should not be depended upon entirely.
