FOR GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
Farmers ALLIANCES Men Argue for Gov
eminent Control Of Telegraph System.

WASHINGTON, May u.-Mr. Marion c.
Butler. president of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, made An argument
before the house committee on postofices
today, in support OF postal telegraph leg
islation. The Alliance favored the postal
telegraph scheme because it would cor
rect an evil of monopoly.
Representative Mcguire OF California
also spoke in continuation of his argu
ment on the subject which be began last
week. He declared that the telegraph
business is a monopoly; that an attempt
to meet it by private competition
would result in benefit to
the people. consequently the gov
ernment ought To assume charge
OF the business. He believed that for
s25, 000,0 900 the present Western Union
plant could be duplicated, and the people
would not have TO pay the interest on the
$50, 600, 600 capitalization in stock which
does not represent actual investment. Re
plying to questions he said he did not
think any one could perform the work of
the postal service as cheap rs the govern
ment, which led Representative Loud of
California To remark he would be willing
to take a four year contract for the work
at $50 GOO. 000 per year. Sundry difficulties
that would probably arise in the transfer
of the telegraph to the government were
suggested bv the members OF the com
mittee, but Mr.. Mcclure believed these
could be overcome or obviated in ways
that would not work hsrdships on the tel
egraph companies.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

CHICAGO, May 11.-There did not appear
10 be any particular reason for a change
In the market status of cattle and there
was none. Receipts were dull and so was
the demand. The 6, 900 cattle on sale were
quickly picked up at Thursdays quota

80 per cwt. for inferior to extra quail
tiles. IL there were not many loads at
over 81 ID, and there were not. il was be-
cause very few strictly prime cattle were
offered. Fair to good fat. 1000 to l,400
steers made up the greater part of today's
supply and for this class IS. 5064 10 were
ruling prices. Light. thin steers sold at
81 4069.6O. and trading in cows and heif-
rrs was principally at S2.5o@S50. The
latter sold especially well as they are not
arriving in numbers sufficient to meet the
demand. Stockers and feeders remained
strong from the same cause. Bulls were
dull and weak and veal calves were no
more than steady.
The hog market was 5 and 10 cents
higher than on Thursday and WAS more
active than for some days past. There
were many sales at S. % and ia at least two

NEW YORK, May IA more uninter-
esting dey has not been experienced in
Wall street for months. The speculation
was stagnant and even the rumor- mongsrs
were at work but little. The total trans.
actions were less than 80, 900 shares aud in
only two stocks, Sugar and Chicago Gas,
did the sales exceed 10, 900 shares. ST. Paul
aud General Electric made some appear
ance in the dealings, but the rest of the list
was sadly neglected. 1t seemed as il the
speculative fraternity at large had taken
breathing spell, awaiting some develop
ments on which TO operate, leaving 1T to
the room traders to keen up semblance of
market It was expected that TIE
gold engagements for SATURDAY would
reach three millions aud they did come
within hundred thousand dollars of
that figure. This incident hal not, there
lore, any affect on the speculation. All
of the gold Withdrawn for export came
from the United States sub-treasury
The trading at the opening was firm. but
upon slight pressure to sell, Sugar gave
way % per cent, AID few other shares "A
small fraction, but the general market
was without movement, except Chicago
Gas and Lake Shore which advanced "a
and q per cent respectively. During the
first hour the fluctuations were still mar.
rover and the trading in lighter volume.
The prevailing tone during the morning
was firm. but after midday the market be-
came heavy. and during the afternoon, with
the exception of one or Two feeble rallies,
the tendency of prices was downward
the declines being merely fractional ex.
cept In few instances. The dealings were
very Irregular during the last fifteen
minutes of business and the market closed
without change.

purpose of voting for the amendments
proposed by the Democratic compromise
committee. whenever they increased dut-
les andchanged from the ad valorem TO the
specific system. II is understood that this
question of policy was under discussion by
the Republican advisory committee today.
aud that while majority Of those present
counselled this course, rhe decision WAS
not unanimous: it is one OF the questions
which will be discussed at the Republican
caucus Monday night.
1t was noticeable that the Democrats,
with the exception OF Senator Mills, stood
by the committee recommendations in the
senate today. Senators Hill aud Irby,
concerning whose position there has been
speculation. were absent, but Senator
Murphy, whose position has been consid-
cred somewhat doubtful, stood with his
party.
The Republicans predicted that the CO.
hesion SO far displayed will not continue.
but the best information obtainabis at
this time indicates that however unsatis-
factory the bill is to a number of the Dem
ocrats, it will continue. for the present at
least, to receive the support OF all Demo-

DUN'S REVIEW.

New YORK, May l1.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS
Weekly Trade Review tomorrow will say:
The speculation in grain has again bro

fered for wheat. although receipts are a
little smaller than a year ago, while ex-
ports are also smaller by more than a
quarter. The prevailing belief is that the
yield will, rs in other recent years. far ex-
coed government indications. which are
again pointing to a short crop. It is II
striking evidence of the general want of
confidence that THERE'S so little speculation
while money is abundant almost beyond

gregate of liabilities for firms failing in the

amount to 1903 900, 600, q decrease OF 30
per cent from the week before, (Which

were among the largest on record. The

Even an unexpected bullish crop report

cessive Argentine and Russian shipments,

its effects were slight if not disappointing.
The continuance of the gold shipments TO
Europe. which amounted for the week to
20. 0O0, 600, has attracted attention, but APP
pears to have influenced speculative senti-
ment in very limited degree. The ex-
treme ease of the money market is in this
respect a controlling factor, and indeed
furnishes the most cogeDt reason for the
absence Of any tendency to liquidate.
