DAY IN LIVE STOCK MARKET.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The cattle market was
eteady at yesterdays decline, or at reduction
of the weeks prices of 15a25 cents per hundred
pounds. The demand was again very much
restricted. Sellers succeeded in closing ont
everything that had weight, only a few odds
and ends remaining in first hands at the close
The offerings were of no better quality than
the receipts. and the majority of sales were
below A. The offering neeled TO be pretty
good to bring that figures; indeed, very good
steers could bring $3.50 From S5.25 TO S.. .S5
took the bulk, aud sales of COWS and bulls
were largely at 81 S5aS2 50.
Hogs started quiet and barely steady. Late
in the morning buying was frecr md prices
gained strength. They closed strong at 5@1o
advance on the lowest prices of Wednesday.
Most of the salable hogs, as well as fresh re-
ceipts, were cleared out before noon.
Sales were on basis Of S53]@35, best light
and $5.35@45 for choice heavy and medium
weights. There was not much trading at fig
ures better than S5.35, the greater number
changing hands at S. 25@635.
Shippers were again liberal buyers and their
purchases for the week bid fair to considerably
exceed 500 head.
The sheep market was dull and featureless
The receipts were large for the day but the
yards were stuffed with western stock which
has been seeking buyers since early in the
week. While there was not much further de-
preston in values the feeling was very weak,
bot only for common and medium grades
which made the bulk offerings, but for good to
choice as well. Sales were on a basis of Sl.50Gl-
s.. % for poor to choice and SS@i 80 for lambs
Extra quality sheep were quoted around $3.50
and extra lambs around 1850
Receipts-Catttle, 1900. Calves, 6,0O0. Hogs

CHICAGO. Feb. 1.-The wheat market today
was weak in the middle, firm at both ends
and closed with gain of IS cent, The early
strength was due to the sensational English
political news, and the reports of damage to
the winter crop as well AS better cables. and
some short buying. A reaction followed,
owing to sales induced by the heavy north
western receipts and lighter clearances, but
some good buying orders near the close sent
prices up again.
Corn closed with loss of Il cent for May.
May oats are q cent lower and provisions
slightly higher.
Wheat opened with May Is cent higher at
s33s cents, and Immediately began climbing
up into national political figures in the early
advance. the indications of an English crisis
inducing some short buying. Liverpool quot
sd an advance in futures and an increase in
stocks The Cincinnati Price Current stated
that some crop damage had occurred during
the last week, modifying the statistics of the
crop. and this was supposed to sustain the
shorts. as they needed more grain. Captain
Phlllpps was an active buyer and Schwartz
Dupee also took offerings rather freely
Prices continued to advance for a time and
then receipts and clearances caused a tempor-
nry break
Duluth reported 223 cars against 1l2 on the
corresponding day of last year and clearances,
as on yesterday, were light The selling be-
came rather free and May wheat went down
under the pressure from the opening price,
but closing cables were encouraging, and near
the close buying orders sent prices up again,
May closing at the top figures of the day. May
opened 635s cent, lost rs cent and retreated !.
to close GA cents
There was very little news in the corn mar
ket, trading being light and fluctuations linn
tied TO 3s cent The feeling displayed was
Easier and strictly lower prices ruled. The
weaker tone was due largely to prospective
larger receipts. Opening trades were at yes
terday's final sales. But they worked down "a

day.
In oats there was moderate pressure to sell
long stuff and a steadier feeling earlier in the
day. owing TO the strength of wheat, which
was followed by weakness and 14a3s cents de-
cline in May. At the close May was but Ia

Natural Weather PROPHETS,

The inhabitants of Rothesay, .
charming watering place on the Island
Of Butte, are never at loss to foretell
the weather. On the opposite shore Of
Argyllshire there lies Loeb Striven,
which can easily be seen from Rothesay
bay. Now, whenever it is about to
rain this lock fills up with mist to such
an extent that it is scarcely visible to
any person looking across the strait
On this account it is locally known as
the Rothesay weather-glass. The people
of kucerne find Mount Pilatus, hill
close to the town, very useful in this
respect If Pilatus wears his cap.
which is q wreath of cloud streaming
from the top of the mountain, the

sword, which is a wreath of cloud
around the middle (the peak being free
from cloud), it will be wet.-N. Y

MAKING CHANGE.
An Art in Which Few Excel and in Which
Blunders Arc Easily Made

Blunders Are Easily Made.
Making change is an art in which
few excel and even those who do some
times make serious errors. When an
error is made and it is in favor of the
shopkeeper there is never any diff
Guilty in having correction made, but
when it is in favor of the purchaser
one has to bring the most convincing
proof to bear before the matter is adj
justed. There are some exceptions,
however, as an incident which occurred
other day will show.
A nicely-dressed gentleman with
diamond stud as large as the headlight
of locomotive walked into the Office
and up to the clerks desk
"Will you change bill so that can
get four dollars?" he asked
81 guess So, responded the clerk me.

The gentleman drew small roll OF
money from his pocket, and peeling of
the outside bill, tossed it on the coun.
ter 1t was ten-dollar bill.
The clerk counted out five silver dol.
lars, and with them laid a 'fve-dollar
bill on the counter.
The gentleman surveyed the lucre a
few seconds, and then said: II guess
you've made a mistake, haven't you?"
mo; you gave me ten dollars re.
piled the clerk, ''and that's what ]
have given you"
81 gave you twenty-dollar BILL sir
said the gentleman, confidently, "and
! want ten dollars more"
The clerk commenced searching
through the money-drawer. and the
gentleman reassuringly continued: 81
know it was twenty because I had
only two twenties and a ten. They
were all new bills"
81 thought it was a new BILL" said
the clerk, "but the only new bill find
in the drawer is q ten. However. i
may be mistaken, and will pay you
what you think is right
About this time the gentleman dis
covered that he had two twenties in
his pocket. and that, instead of peeling
off one of them, he had given the clerk
the ten. His apology was profuse. and
he fairly begged the clerk not to think
he had been trying to work game on
him. The gentlemen were strangers
when this Incident occurred, but thew
are good friends now. The next day
the clerk wore five-dallar hat paid
for by his friend. Washington Post.

results in less activity, but prices are fairly
steady throughout the list. Mail orders are
keeping up pretty well, and the buying neces-

upward tendency. There is an advance OF
about III cents. Prints and printed goods are

Talking Of Water Works For the New
Town = New Hotel.
Alva is already talking of water
works. Several plans have been sug-
gested by which the city can be fur.
nished with cheap water, but the most
feasible as well as the most economi-
cal, plan Is to pipe the water in from
some of the numerous springs in tho
Cedar mountains west of here. These
springs are about ten miles west Of
of the hills and at an elevation of
about two hundred feet above the
tallest building in town The cost of
bringing this water would at first be
quite sum but would not exceed the
operating expenses of ordinary water
works for two years, and when once
completed no further expense would
attach to the system.

land Office this week owing to the a a6-
