San Francisco market Review

BAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-The produce mar
kets were quiet this morning, and the prices of
the leading cereals were practically unchang-
ed. Quotations for spot wheat were mostly
nominal. The only buyers at present are mill
ers and they are buying sparingly. The call
board markets are quieter and quotations
lower. Oats, corn and barley are steady and
unchanged. Bran and middlings are higher.
There is no change in other millstuffs.
Old potatoes remain weak. Australian on
ions are selling readily at $3.50 per Genital
New potatoes are very dull. Receipts are COM
ing in free, and prices are lower.
Fruit is fairly active in general way. Choice
oranges are none too plentiful, and prices are
very firm. Small oranges, of varied sizes, are
also selling readily. Strawberries are in liberal
supply, and a shade lower. Good apples are
scarce.
Butter is doing somewhat better, and fancy
roll sold at slight advance this morning.
Eggs are easier and the market is dull.
Early vegetables are arriving freely and
prices are easier than yesterday. Asparagus
was little lower this morning for choice.
Rhubarb continues to be neglected, and peas
are slow. String beans are doing very well, as
the receipts are light.

CATTLE THIEVES ESTRArPED.
Five Members of Desperate Spokane
Gang Under Arrest.

SPOKANE FAILS, Jan. Especial. l-one
of the most extensive cattle stealing rings
ever organized in the West was broken up
by the arrest of i've members of the gang
near this city today. They are the Van
Cleve brothers, Jack Conley and August
and George Mills. Their scheme was one
Of the boldest and most gigantic Of its kind
ever operated in the Northwest. More
than $4,000 worth of cattle have been
stolen and slaughtered before the owners
had time to identify them. Cattle have
been stolen from every part of the coun-
try. and III many instance have been driven
as far as sixty miles. Certain members of
the band were FOUNDERS or ssrustlers"
Their part in the thievery was to drive the
cattle to q siaughter-house On Hangman
creek, where the animals were quickly
butchered- The carcasses were brought TO
meat market in this city. Some of the
hides were buried and some were burned.
Detectives have been watching the
slaughter-house on Hangman creek every
night for the past week. Last night Sheriff
Ptgh and a posse spent the night In hid
ing close by. During the night band of
cattle were driven In, and at daylight this
morning the sheriff IS posse SURPRISED

suit, when they turned and opened fire

causing slight wound in the left leg.

A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
Five-Dollar Gold Piece That Puzzle
Experts Found in Philadelphia.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Especial The
most dangerous counterfeit ever known in
the history of the coinage of this govern
ment has been found by the authorities of
the mint in this city. 1t is SIS gold piece,
designed and executed with such remarka-
bic skill that few experts can distinguish
spurious coins from genuine. In general
appearance, color, weight and design the
counterfeit is perfect. 1t Is true fac SIM
lie of the true coin excep; in size 1t is
slightly larger in diameter, bat the dis
crepancy Is so small that only
careful measurement with spe-
cial instruments IN the hands of a skilful
man viii reveal the difference, and even
an assay has been found necessary to es-
tahlisn definitely its spurious character.
Only few have been discovered in the
mint, but even conjecture cannot approx
mate the number that are floating through
the banks and sub-treasuries The principal
fact which make them most difficult of
detection is that they are made OF gold,
but of much lower grade than the govern
ment standard, which is 600 fne The
spurious coins are about fifty points less.
Assays made at the mint have shown that
they have value of $3.50, leaving the
eoanterfeiter profit of 60 cents on each
piece for his labor.

BKApsrREEr.s REVIEW OF TRADE.


Have steadytrg Eject
New YoRK, Jan. Especial Brad
streets weekly summary of the stock mar
ket viii say:
Prices improved steadily this week. and
the market, though narrow and professional
at hrst, seemed to develop support from
day TO day. The most Important factor IN
producing this result Is undoubtedly the
amicabie attitude Of railroad men regarding
the new association, and apparent deter
minasion Of all concerned to make the frst
meeting of the new advisory board that Is
TO regulate competition throughout the
!. West a success This gratifying spirit IS
particularly eyinced in regard 10 the
Omaha bridge dispute between the Union
Pacific and the St. Paul & Rock Island.
In some quarters, not necessarily with
people Of bearish inclinations, 1t
was feared that the dispute
and attendant litigation would
create trouble and perhaps nullify the eff
forts 10 organize the board of control on
practical basis but in a speculative sense
the influence of railroad men and the gen
eral view of the existing situation has ex-
erted q bullish influence on the market.
The bear interest has generally covered its
shorts" and there has been renewal
buying operations by Chicago and other
interests, which furnished markets with q
fair amount OF support.
The easier tone Of the money market too
is an element of no small importance, and
the fact that investors have again turned
their. attention to bonds is an argument
for an appreciation In stock values
In the East the wool markets have been
quiet during the week, while in the West
greater activity is noted. This IS due TO
the fact that Eastern mills are later than
usual IN taxing an account OF stock. Prices
have not changed. and in some grades a
hrmer feeling Is apparent. One fact which
encourages dealers IN an expectation
that values are 10 be higher is that
throughout the West no large lots of wool
are now held. For this season of the year
this circumstance is unusual. At the
next London sales dealers look for high
prices on WOODS suitable for the American
market. This opinion is based On the
competitions which will surely prevail for
these woods A better movement has
been noted In territories, while IN Aus
tralian woods the demand is weaker.
Dealers are firm in the determine
ton to refuse all offers involving
the slightest concessions, as il is believed
throughout the trade that they are excel
lent property. Fleeces have held well,
and pulled woods are especially active.
Fan Texas and spring California woods are
in good request Sales, as q rule, have
not been large, but are confined to small
choice lots

M'NAIR ESTATE NOW IN COURT.
Js6erson County Probate Judge APP

Her Fathers Property.

PoRf TowxsrSp, jan 9-FSpecial The
McNair estate, which has lain for so many
years without claimant until Mrs Mary
A. Henry, of Tacoma, put In an appear
ance, last Tuesday, and took steps 20 re-
gain it. promises to be the subject of some
interesting litigation in the near future
The lady is the daughter and sole surviy-
ing heir of Hiram A. McNair, who died at
the Great Nevada mining camp of the
White Pine in 1sU He was an old resi-
dent Of Port Townsend and owned IN un-
divided half of the property on which the
gas-works are now located. besides 100
acres of land in Mason county. The
latter was donation claim that he settled
upon in 1s60 and got his patent for. After
he removed from it, and after il had be-
come apparently abandoned, other parties
filed on it and the property passed from
one person to another until finally it
passed into the hands of Seattle syndi-
cate, who have laid out upon it the town
of Liliiwaup Falls. The embryo town has
been extensively advertised and many
town lots have been sold there.
Judge wickersham, of Tacoma, who is
Mrs. Henry's attorney, says that the
patent TO the land Is on record in Washing
ton City, and that the title of AcNair's
heirs is as clear as the MONDAY sun. This
viii be surprise to the Seattle syndicate.
and to the spectators and investors who
bought property at Lilliwaup Falls.
Mrs. Henry was little child az the time
Of her fathers death, and her mother and
only brother died shortly after that event.
1t has been considerable trouble for her to
trace up her fathers estate, all the clews TO
which had been lost for many years, but
her success is probably assured at last. as
the records seem TO be clear and unim-
peachable, and show that the property had
never legally passed from her father. The
lady was on last Thursday appointed adj
ministratrix of the estate by Judge Wood,
of the Jefferson probate court.
