Cheap Trotters.

There is always steady demand for
a fairly fast and moderate priced trot-
ting roadster, and there are hundreds of
men in this city who long to possess a
horse that can little more than hold
his own with the boys on the road, says
the Breeder and Sportsman. Such
horses, however, are extremely hard to
find.
If one Of these men wanting cheap
horses and fast ones lis shown one that
is a little tender in his front feet, he
will not have him at any price. for he
very properly says that if you work
him hard he will go so tender and stiff
he cannot he used. If you offer him
one with SPAWN or ringbone, he
will turn up his nose and say
he does not want cripple. Then
show him a really fast horse that
is low in flesh and wears unmistakable
signs of age, and he will say, II would
gave me him." A blind horse, bolter,
a kicker, or runaway, no one wants;
and it will be found that the only kind
of horse that will suit the man who
wants a fast trotter for $3.50 or 5000
must be one with so few and trif1lng
defects that he could not be bought for
less than $500 or 81 900.
While many are looking for fast
horses with blemishes, there are many
who want a $40 horse or so, that they
can get at bargain. Neither of these
buyers often gets suited, but the in
creasing number of those who here in
San Francisco want to get desirable
speed for little money. shows that there
is tendency towards lower prices for
ordinarily good performers. This fact
should show trotting horse breeders
that to succeed from a monetary point
of view they must breed ordinary
short priced, speedy trotterS, sound,and
with uniformity, as well as phenomenal
flyers that only win once in a long

cred 5sc afterwards. May wheat sold in large
lots. Track wheat sold early at lac off from
Yesterdays prices. Heavy selling by Hutch

Local Markets.

There was an easy feeling IN the wheat
markets from the first, and prices soon fell
to the point fixed for in the sale of privileges
yesterday. The buying against puts checked
the break and turned the market up slightly.
When they were all i'll there was some weak
ness again for a time. Receipts were not
large, reaching only 173 cars for the last
twenty four hours. These would not supply
the mills Il days run after taking out the
shipments. But this is the season when re-
auctions in supplies of stored wheat are
looked for and dealers count upon them in
their calculations when figuring Oh the out
come. The morning break was about 1c.
Close-No. hard, February. Ole; on track,
94l2c; No. Northern. February and March,
92c; May, 9ilSc; on track, Ole; No. 2 North

Cash Wheat-When the early break came
in futures buyers of spot held off from the
market little to get the benefit of the break
III the cost of samples. Then, when there
was slight rally, they bought freely, and the
competition held prices close to May futures,
and, instead of getting wider spread be-
tween the two the difference was further
narrowed. The closeness of the two was
cause of complaint with millers They said
they could not export enough of their patents
so as not to crowd the domestic trade with
all overproduction. The range was mostly
about 1c under May for spot cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output OF the mills
grinding to-day will probably aggregate
20, 700 bbls.
Shipments, 81 433 bbls. Quoted at 81. Goa

patents, S3.60@4.25 for fancy and export
bakers, S1.S002. 10 for low grades in bags, in
Guiding red dog.
The flour market Is very quiet, and stocks
are accommodating again. Few local millers
are trying to keep up a full output There is
a small trade to supply daily and there Is
desire TO make show OF business and keep
in form TO meet trade that is possible to re-
vive. These questions are considered in
connection with the natural loss in shutting
down, and probably supply the cause for
keeping up the daily output to the present
even moderate proportions. Some quoted
little higher for their patents.
Quoted al S15@1525 for bran, S14. 50Gl15. % for
shorts, and Sl5.75016.25 for middlings. The
market was quiet and some product was re-

The New Law Needed to Fill the
Original Package Can.

Original Fackage Gap.
MortimerW White head, Grange lecturer,
says the ''original package" decision Of
the supreme court Of the United States
in its bearings upon Oleomargarine
should be we'll understood by tile farm
ers.
1t Will be remembered tnat, under
this original package decision, several
states that had prohibition laws against
the liquor traffic, such as Iowa and
Kansas, had to submit for time to see
ing their state laws prohibiting the sale
of liquor entirely set aside by original
package men. But, in answer 10 the
urgent calls OF the people of these
states, congress passed law that made
the state law superior so far as in
toxicating liqt OrS were concerned
and so the 20 igi III package" men
were driven from - .OhibltiOn" states
as they ought 10 be under government
"Of the people and by the people" But
the new law only applied TO liquors. so
that under the supreme court decision
.'original packages" of even "DrOhib-
tied" articles could still be sold right
in the face Of state laws to the con-
trary. Now some states, among them
PENNSYLVANIA and Delaware, have
good prohibition" laws regarding
Oleo, and all its relations under other
names; laws not very lengthy, but they
do good work ali the same. They
simply say that the manufacture, sale
or importation of any imitation dairy
product is prohibited within tie limits
of the state. And so the cleo. folks are
now defying these state laws, claiming
protection under the Original package"
decision of the United States supreme
court. But farmers can do some
things as we'll as others. Farmers land
almost entirely farmers in the grange)
secured the national oleomargarIne law
and these prohibition" state laws, and
they can now secure law to cover this
original package" dodge for cleo so as
TO put it on the same footing as ''prohi-
bition" laws regarding intoxicating
liquors. And this is work for us 10 do
right away. Patrons ale already in the
front of the battle, but the "home
guards" must rally to their support.
Our national legislative committee has
taken up the subject, and congress is
h<aring from them on this as well as
upon other important matters.
We have a few farmer friends" in
the senate OF the United States. and
some others are now willing to help be-
cause they beard from the farmers LAST
November. Senator Anthony Higgins,

ONLY PROFESSIONAL
WALL Street Trading Confined to
the Talent.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The stock mar
ket to-day presented the same general
features as those of the past days of the
week, the trading being almost entirely
professional in its nature, while except
in the few stocks which were subject to
special manipulation the fluctuations
were scarcely perceptible. The OPEN
ing this morning disclosed as apathetic
a condition of affairs as ever existed,
but the bears saw an opportunity to
cover some of their shorts put out in
the last few days, and an attack was
made upon the Wizards and New
onstration there was considerable buy
ing of both Burlington and Rock Island
as we'll as st. Paul. New England
was offered down 13S per cent to
So. but the manipulation was so APP
parent that it recovered sharply in the
final dealings. North American felt
the pressure most severely but yielded
only fraction. With the exception of
the industrialS these were the only
stocks in which there was any move
ment of interest, the new sugar stock
dropping nc and recovering s4c. Sill
yer was frmer. the impression that the
speculative lots which have hung over
the market have been removed tending
to stiffen the price. The pressure to sell
was abated all along the line in the
last hour and stronger tone was de-
veloped, the market closing dull but
firm at insignificant changes in all the
list except Wheeling & Lake Erie pre-
ferred, which lost per cent, and New
England, which lost "a. Railroad bonds
were also extremely dull. but again
showed firm tone. and some of the
more active issues scored gains, which,
however. in but few instances, are of

ABOUT GIBRALTAR.
There Is Grass on the Rock, and
City OF Incidence.


New York Sun.
The popular idea about the Rock of
Gibraltar is that it is barren, solid
mass of granite rising perpendicularly
from the sea, but such is not the case.
True, it rises abruptly, but it is not
barren.
At distance, when one is coming up
the straits, the rock looms up through
the miSts that always hang more or less
over the Mediterranean at this point,
and looks utterly devoid of vegetation.
And even when half mile away it
seems little more than mOSS-cOvered.
But an agreeable surprise awaits the
traveller who disembarks.
After passing the grutf officers at the
gates of the landing pier and crossing
the various drawbridgeS and IRON barred
doors one comes into long, narrow
street bordered on either side by flow
ering vines and few palms. There are
abundant olive, palm, and other trees,
some of which are Towering and give a
brilliancy to the landscape that can
only De found in tropical OF Semi-tropl-
cal countries.
The population of this town is as
various and variegated as the flora, and
Ill IdCOo SOODl represented hSiN' az
streets are Spanish in appearance, the
houses being white or colOred light
pink, yellow or blue. On the Alemeda
dark-eyed AndaluSian women snare the
hearts of red-and blue coated British
soldiers, who. with all their weapons,

welded by such women.
MOorS, grave Of feature and dignlfied,
with their red feZeS and white gowns
mingle with the greasy, ragged, dark
whiskered Spanish muleteers and frui
sellers.
Now and again In the cool of the day
a white helmeted officer may be seen
taking constitutional on the Gale, ac-
companied by his fair-haired English
wife, who presents startling contrast
to the blue black-haired Spanish maid
ems.
AIRY may also be seen once in
while, with his CHASTITY checked suit
and fore-and-aft peaked hat of the same
pattern, and his inevitable briarwood
pipe stuck doggedly between his teeth
as he blunderS along the road.
1t is delightfully."- lazy place, but an
unfortunate one for artists, inasmuch as
a fine of $3.50 (S1,250) is imposed, with
Imprisonment included, for any lover
of the beautiful who is caught making
any paintings, notes, or sketches OF any
kind on the rock.

American Pork in Italy.

The Italian government some years
ago prohibited the importation of
American pork and lard, and soon after
extended the prohibition TO all coun-
tries. 1t has just taken step, how
ever, which, it is believed. will result in
the removal of the restriction against
the United States. The minister
of the interior has issued
decree citing that Italy is
satisfied that Germany is taking every
safeguard to insure the health of its
home products forthwith. A certificate
from health officer is to accompany
each shipment. Inasmuch that the in
spection laws Of Germany are no more
rigid than those existing in the United
States, it is believed that Italy. whose
trade relations with the United States
have been rapidly growing until now
they reached figures exceeded only by
three nations, will be willing to remove
the embargo upon American pork and
lard upon American similar assurances
from the United States of thorough in
spection. 1t is known that the govern
ment is highly pleased with the increas-
ing trade with the United States, which

Col. Eugene Fields Ideal Reporter

chicago news.
To be a good reporter these quallfica-
tons are necessary: Health, the news
instinct, sense of humor, the ability to
write simple style in legible hand,
eternal vigilance, temperance, amiabil-
ty, patience. determination and ambi-
ton. Then, furthermore, it behooves
the reporter to be constant student and
reader, informing himself fully upon
every variety of subject that interests
mankind.
For the profession of newspaper re-
porting we have the highest regard, and
we find pleasure in this opportunity of
saying that from the companionship of
newspaper reporters we have derived
incalculable profit, for of all classes and
conditions of men excepting, perhaps,
the printer, the newspaper reporter
seems to abound most literally in wit,
humor, invention, generosity, good nat
ure, patience, pluck, fortitude, and
those other qualities and accomplish
ments which do so much toward bright
ening and lettering human life.
