proceed at once on the reconnaissance,
and take the squadron then on duty, or
dered another to replace them. Mount
ing my horse, I took the road leading
to the supposed camp Of the enemy.
BY some mischance missed the place
where the dragons were picketed, and
So determined to make the reconnois-
sance alone. Proceeding along the
road, l picked UP Mexican lad as
guide, and rode rapidly toward the
mountain. Approaching a village on
the route, the lad begged piteously that
he might be allowed to depart, decar-
ing that his own people would Kill him
if they saw him guiding an American;
so, leaving him behind, l rode on
through the village. The sound Of ny
horses feet as rode through the vii!
lage made fearful noise. AS rode
along, scanning the road ahead, ]
thought l saw in the distance Mexican
lancers, but when l came nearer /
found that it was only the cactus trees.
Upon approaching the mountain |
came suddenly in full view Of the camp
fires of the Mexican army, and could
distinctly see the soldiers on guard
marching to and fro, while the white
tents covered the side of the mountain.
Though / felt that the scouts report
was correct, 1 thought it more pru-
dent to move on until | should come
upon the outpost. drew nearer and
nearer to the mountain, and still no
enemy. Straining my vision, [ saw
that the white tents were sheep lying
down, and the guards were only shep-
herds with their crooks. So turned
and cantered back to Gen. Wool,
where I found the army all drawn up

PORK JUMPS SKY HIGH.
Selling at Chicago for $3.50 Bar
rel, the Highest for Years

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-Pork is now q lux
ury. 1t sold on change today at the
highest price known for years, $3.50 q
barrel. For time it looked as if the
quototstion would Jump TO $50. Heavy
transactions and great excitement marked
the trading. John Cudahy and Austin
Wright, nickname Charlie, have been
credited of late, since their famous corner
in ribs, with about every speculative
movement on change and whether de-
servedly or not these operators have be-
come worse bugbears TO unfortunate
traders than "Old Hutch" or Partridge,
ever was. Now, the Cudahy-
Wright combination aided and allotted
by Norman B. Ream, are popu-
larry believed to be the master spirits in
contrO OF pork. In any event the crowd
manipulating the market are said on all
sides TO nave cleaned ur an enormous
profit, by some estimated az sev-
eral million dollars. Ii is stated
that the clique began buying pork
during the cholera scare. when it was go
ing begging at $40 barrel The idea is
that they nave been changing stu"
from month to month and always at
profit
Manipulation aside. the main spring
under the MAJ ket is the shortage OF hogs.
Each day adds some new evidence of the
strength of the situation. Wednesday it
was the very light stocks of
provisions, yesterday hogs were
short again and this morning the
'hog Que ton" was more serious than
ever. The message to tine board gave re-
ceipts at 81 900 or 1000 short of the very
light estimate. Private advices TO packers
gave the hogs as low as $4,000. Prices
at the yards showed the greatest Jump OF
the season. with packing lots 20(G25 cents
higher This. with free Ia of 50 for
hogs ii the supply does not improve,
started the provision pit in a whirl. The
clique brokers made a show of
buying at the start. but on the
bulge there was heavy realizing bv brok-
ers for Cudshy & Wright. The close was
was within a shade of the highest prices
OF the day, 60 cent leap compared with
last nights figures. This was the third
day of almost equally sensational adj
vances.
Mallory. Son & Zimmerman have issued
their January crop report in which they
state that the probable percentage of hogs
for January. February and March of this
year will be but IS per cent. of the supply
of hogs for October, November and De-
cember of last vear
