The statement that Claus Spreckles is
in favor of annexation in order to get "A

by the fact that he is one of the most

country, and furthermore it is evident
that he had great influence with Com

The old Democratic war-horse, Noor-

before gathering of prominent Demo-
Gratis in indianapolis, recently. Both
voorhees, and Turpie, who followed him,
agreed that no pensioncr should be
dropped without full Investigation, at
which the veteran himself should be per-
mitted to testify. Some significant
words, indicating II possible breach be-
tween the legislative and administrative
branches of the government upon this
question, We're dropped by the Indiana
senator, and it is expected that when the
senate convenes he may have some inter
esting suggestions to make to the secrc-
tary of the interior. These shrewd
Democrats can readily see that Cleye-
lands pension policy is creating much
feeling against the Democratic party and
they are making II desperate effort to
placate the veteran.

day Ynez Ruis and Jesus Guerra, the
last eight of the most desperate of the
Cara gang at large. For months
they have eluded capture and caused
the officers, both American and Mexi-
can, more trouble than any other
Gafzaites. They were in the habit of
making excursions into the mountains
of Mexico and returning to this side
despite the efforts of the Mexican
army. They have been equally sue :
cessful in evading capture on this side
and every effort to arrest them has
heretofore resulted in nothing but
hard riding OF the officers. Their ar
rest put an effective end to the Cara
outbreaks, as they were the only re-
naming filibusters in this section.

HOGS GO DOWN
A Fraction Oft Cent for tho First Time in
Months.

A Fraction OF Cent for tho First Time in
Months.
The story OF the local markets was in
teresIing TO the average head OF
household in one respect at least, the
decline in the price on hog'.
For several months hogs have contin'
ued to rise in price from in the neigh
borhood of 4 cents up to the excessive
ly high figures quoted last week, s!
cents, The rise was so steady that most
people thought it would continue to 10
cents, an almost unprecedented figure.
Yesterday, however, for the first time
IN many months, there was decline OF
fraction OF q cent, the quotations at
the Wheeling stock yards for choice be-
ing S,l5 and 81 cents. The cause OF the
decline was only local, an over supply
and smaller demand, sothat any further
depression OF any consequence cannot
be expected, at least not until the sum
mer, when spring and winter shoats
will have been fattened and in shape
for marketing,
In eggs the market shows a pyrotec-
mic drop, hen product that two weeks
ago brought so cents, having been 70.
duced to Is and 20 cents, The weary
restarauntier and hotel man, who at this
season OF the year are compelled to use
large quantities OF eggs, appreciate the
big drop, more OF course than the
householder who is an insignificant
buyer alongside the big restaurants and
hotels.
Potatoes have been away up in price
for some time. ranging around So cents,
an unusually high figure, with only a
fair supply at that. This has been
caused mainly by the farmers holding
back expecting the price to reach a
dollar, when they would sell out. The
prospects now are for a decline. and the
dollar farmers will DO in the hole.
Shrewd produce men are holding small
quantities of potatoes, expecting daily
the drop in prices.

OUTLOOK FOR CUT NAILS
More Encouraging Than for n Long Time.
The Rise In Wire Nails.

More Encouraging Than for n Long Time.
The Rise In Wire Nails.
The advance made in prices by the
western wirc nail manufacturers last
week of g moro ton is expected to
have good effect on the cut nail market
in this vicinity. The advance was re-
ceived with much pleasure by local
manufacturers OF cut nails. This is the
third advance during the past month,
the selling price of wire nails now be-
ing on base price OF 81 so per key. In
order to ascertain what effect this 10
cent advance would have on the local
markets an INTELLIaENcER representa-
tive called on prominent manufaCt-
urer OF cut nails yesterday afternoon.
In reply to query as to the effect, lie
said, ives, it will be beneficial to us.
On February 10, at meeting held by
the western cut nail manuiactur.
ers IN the Monongahela House,
Pittsburgh, we adopted new
card and method OF marketing,
the base price being 81 % per key. The
card and method are meeting with the
nearly upprOVu Oh lODDeTh anu uuyeTh
all over the country. Since the adop-
ton there has been great deal OF in
quiry from these buyers, which shows
tendency towards the stitfening up OF
the cut nail market. The cut nail has
gained two advantages recently. frst by
by government test that demonstrated
that the tensile strength OF cut nail is
much greater than that Of the wire nail,
and secondly they are twenty-five cents
a keg cheaper. The last is a big advan-
tage. We can sell that much cheaper.
This fact has already been recognized
by the dealers. This has been shown
by the large number OF inquiries from
them, and tho satisfaction shown by
our new card and method"
Among the mills that are running a
number OF machines are tho Laughlin,
Jefferson, Mingo junction, La Belle aud
Belmont. Tho last named is in the 70.
cent combine formed under the title OF
the Wheeling Steel and Iron Company,
which has in all 455 machines.

readiness to start at short notice.
