WICHITA'S MARKET.

This has been an off week in the live
stock business. Prices have been declin-
ing all the week and the receipts of hogs
have not been so large by nearly 1900 as
the week previous, yet more hogs have
been consumed at home than the week
just prior to this. About 5,S6S hogs have
been bought for home use this week. or
nearly 1000 per day. This means some
thing for the future when it is remember
ed that only one of the packing houses is
doing any work at present.
As The population increases south and
west the supply points have got to be es-
tabliShed nearer the consumers TO avoid
high freight, and this fact is going TO
build up Wichita's stock market and pack
ing houses.
New points are being reached almost
daily from which shipments will be re-
ceiye in the future. Shippers who have
hitherto been making long hauls to Kan
Sas City and Chicago, are making trial
shipments to this place, and invariably
express themselves after the first trial a.
being well satisfied both with prices and
the treatment received at the hands of
those connected with the Union stock
yards No other live stock market in the
United States can show a better business
record for the length of time that Wichita
has sustained such an institution

WICHITA ALL RIGHT
The Globe Dry Goods House Increasing stock
and Adding 4 Wholesale Millinery
Department.

Mr.. NJ B. Cohn, of the Globe Dry Goods
House. has just returned from an extensive
trip taking in the south and the Missis-
sippi valley. He was away some weeks
hoping to be able to find location offer
ing more inducements for business than
Wichita 1t is quite natural to always
want something better and sometimes it
Is supposed change OF location results
in an improvement. While Wichita bus
mess was good enough and no reason for
complaining, yet if money was hanging on
trees in other states to fall in a bucket
for small amount of dry goods it might
be good scheme to get under the gold
decorated tree Mr.. Cohn looked for the
improvement, visiting Nashville, At
lanta, Birmingham, Peoria, Kansas City,
Omaha, and many other cities
and towns of recognized com
mercial Importance, and failed to find
any point offering inducements for bust
ness equal to Wichita, and, in fact, not one
of them in any way suggestive Of Wichita
from the volume of business.
Having become acquainted with the sit
uation and being able to make reliable
comparison, Mr.. Cohn decided to increase
facilities for business in Wichita He
went TO the eastern cities, purchased large
stocks of goods for the retail trade 1t
was also decided to go into the wholesale
millinery business, and stock was pur-
chased. He will go into business with the
largest stock to be found in any city equal
to Wichita in size, and will probably be
able to commence business by the LIST of
next month Two men will be out on the
road, covering Kansas and the territory,
working exclusively in the interests of the
house. 1t is thought a wholesale business
in this line can be established in Wichita
quite as easily As in any other business,
and the addition opens a new line
and is of no small Importance in the
business of the city.

TROUBLE OVER BOND.

a county treasurer is allowed twenty
days after assuming the duties of his office
in which to file bond protecting the in
terests of the county and tax payers. For
the present term last Monday was the last
day, and Mr.. IT, B. Cartwright had been
hustling around for bond. In this, one of
the largest counties in the state, a 5000, 900
bond is required by law, and the limit of
time by law, passed last Monday and &C
cording to the legal advice furnished the
board of county commissions, the office Of
county treasurer, as a result of failure to
comply with the law, is now vacant, and
the vacancy is to be filled by the
board making an appointment. The
question arises whether or not it would
be legal to appoint Mr.. Cartwright for
twenty days at time and allow the finan-
cial interests of the county to be unpro-
tected, and also question whether it
would be legal to appoint Mr.. Cartwright
at all 1t Is quite certain that the office is
now vacant and the legal county treasurer
will have to be appointed by the board of
county commissioners.
The county commissioners will consider
the matter tomorrow. The failure of Mr..
Cartwright to provide bond is considered
by 10 means an insinuation of dishonesty,
but if one will imagine himself going out
after 100000 to back him in as perpleXing
an office as county treasurer he may real
ize there would be some trouble about it,
The business men are not running across
the street to go on any kind of bond now
adays, and the fellow who would most
likely show a willingness to put his name
on the list would probably not be quoted
very high in commercial reports.

ANOTHER WHOLESALE HOUSE.
Chas. Alesbury Merchantile Company Added
TO the Long List of Wholesale Houses
in the City.

"The Chas. Alesbury Merchantile COM
pany'' is the style of new firm opening
up business in the Bayless block on North
Emporia avenue. Ii is proposed to handle
a full line of fancy groceries and some
staple goods and it is thought the
establishment will be able to commence
business by the middle of the month.
Three car loads arrived yesterday and
more are expected in a few days and it is
thought everything can be arranged in
two or three weeks.
Mr.. Chas. Alesbury who will be man.
ager for the concern is quite well known
to the trade in the southwest He has
been with Name & McCord, of st. Joe for
over twelve years and always had the
Wichita territory. He sold groceries in
Wichita when Johnny Allen and
the old timers were new timers
and hence has an established
acquaintance with the old and new firms
which WILL no doubt, be a great advantage
in starting out new business.
The business will start out employing
about S35, 900 and four men on the road
covering Kansas and the territory. The
business will be rushed, as it is in the
hands of active young men experienced in
that line Mr.. Alesbury said yester-
day that he had for long time, had an
eye on Wichita, watching for time to
open'up business. His investigation into
the freight rates made it quite certain they
were suggestive of wholesale business at
Wichita, and for some time the Missouri
river had been unable to compete success
fully with the prices that could be made
by the Wichita houses.

There seems to be a strong demand
among the farmers of the southern part
of the state to buy stock steers-yearlings
and two year-olds-to hold over and get
the growth. Scarcely day passes but
there are two or three, and sometimes
more farmers at the stocking yards look for
young cattle to buy. This would seem to
indicate that the crop of the past season
was not so short as many would have US
to believe. Kansas, and especially South
ern Kansas, Will see many years OF pros
