Chicago, May lin wheat there was
large trade, options being on a much
heavier scale. Opening. trades were at q
IIK advance, but steadily sold down l1I1l4
cents, and closed near the bottom. The
action of the market, considering the re-
mort of last night, was a great surprise
to many operators. The government re-
port made the condition S1.4 against 66.7
last month, but being generally. discred-
tied, extreme weakness resulted. Offer
ings were heavy from the start, and in
creased as the session advanced, a. notice
able feature being the free selling by the
house which took large quantities just
prior to. the close Yesterday.
Partridge covered freely on the day S
decline and his purchases proved a sup
porting factor to the market. The de-
cline caught some stop loss orders around
$50. The efforts on the part of the buy
erS of yesterday to realize at the OPEN
ing, helped to cause the market to rule
easy from the start.
The corn market was rather dull. Fine
weather, prospective larger receipts and
the situation weak. Weak opening trades
showed little change, but sold off under
fair offerings 9sQ12, rallied 18qA cent,
changed some, ruled easy and closed but

Oats were weaker due to the depression
in wheat and corn and increased offerings
There was 4 fair buying on the decline
but the close was weak at about the bot
tom.
Provisions averag ed firm on a light run

generally dull at the close for pork and
easy for lard and ribs. The range of prices
was narrow.

LUMBER MARKETS IMPROVING.
Oregon Company Mills Are All in
Operation.


Operation.
Joseph A. West, one of the managers
of the Oregon Lumber company. a
Utah institution operating in this ter
ritory and the state of Oregon, was in
the city yesterday afternoon on his
return to Baker City, Oregon, from
the coast, where he has been on spe-
cial business connected with several
large Contracts the company hopes to
secure in California, and the other
coast states. Speaking of the pros
poets of the company. the gentleman
stated that considering the condition
of the business of the country, they
were very f1attering. All of the mills
are now in full operation and turning
out over 100000 feet of sawed timber
daily. The major part of this output
comes this way and supplies the entire
intermountain country. Within the
next month several large contracts for
mining and railroad tinbers, upon
which the company have been f1gur-
ing, will be closed, and it is then pos
sible that the output of the mills may
be increased. The Oregon Lumber
company has the contract for the large
tinnbers which are to be used in the re-
construction of the Horn Silver concen-
traitor and hosting works and the de-
livery of the tinbers is now going
steadily on, 1t would have been COM
pleted by this time had the railroad
company furnished the necessary cars
for the transportation.
The Sumpter Valley road, built by
the company for the purpose of tap
ping rich timber and mineral region,
is being operated to it's utmost capacity.
1t had been practically decided to make
a fifteen mile extension this summer.
but the project has been abandoned
for the present on account of the gen
eral depression

RICH CoUNTY's PROSPECTS.
Aquila NebeISer Says the Grain Yield
Will Be Immense

Will Be Immense.
Hon. Aquilla Nebeker, of Rich coun-
ty, arrived in the city yesterday and
Will remain here several days. He is ne
gotiating with the railroad companies
for the shipment of trainload of cat
tie from the southern part of the ter
ritory to his northern ranch. The gen
tleman has several herds ranging on
the Buckskin mountains, along the Col
orado line near the Arizona line and is
very DESTROYS of getting his steers onto
a northern range. The shipment may
be made next month.
THE prospects of the northern sec
ton of the country are very bright, -
said the gentleman, land all we are
afraid of is that Rich county will raise
so much grain that it will become a
drug on the market The old trouble
between the settlers and the sheepmen,
owners of transient herds, has been re-
vived through the apparent determine
ton Of the latter to run the entire coun-
ty. With their usual effrontery the
owners of the herds drive their bleat-
ers into the very yards of the settlers
and the result will be a general killing
if the nuisance is not abated. An indig-
nation meeting was held at Woodruff
on Saturday and another is booked for
Monday. At the next meeting some
course of future will be adopted.
Mining indications are very good and
within the next month the hills will be
filled with prospectors. Already some
rich finds of gold, silver and lead have
been made"

Banks Make Reports.

This morning the national and state
banks of the territory present to the
public for consideration reports of their
condition at the close of business on
the 4th of May. AS is always the case
with the banks of Utah, the showings
are remarkable, in view of the present
condition of finances. All of the insti-
-tutions hold almost double the amount
of reserve cash required by the national
laws In some cases the amount is 80
per cent. of the total deposits. The re-
ports are made in accordance with
notice received yesterday morning from
the comptroller of the currency and the
territorial bank examiner.

Changing Their Lines.

BY mutual agreement the Salt Lake
City railroad and the Salt Lake Rapid
Transit company are making several
improvements in their North State
street and First street lines, which in
terlace on the streets named Here
after there will be but one-half the
old number of poles on the streets, for
the reason that both companies will
utilize the same overhead construction.
This will do away with a large number
of the poles and greatly clear the
streets. The roadbeds are also being
repaired and reballaSted.

A GLITTERING SHOWER.
0Id-Time Campaign Buttons NJ
taken for Gold Eagles.

New York, May 11.-Workmen tear
ing down a rear two-story building,
near the northwest corner of Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth avenue were
greatly excited when a shower Of what
looked like gold eagles fell upon them
from among the timbers. Work was
suspended and there was a general
scramble for the treasure. 1t was soon
found, however, that the shining discs
were not coins. They were campaign
badges of generation ago They
were tokens worn by Lincoln men and
Mcclellan men in 1854 and emblems Of
the Grant and Seymour followers in
1868. Altogether there were about fifty
thousand of them. Some of them had
tiny likenesses of the nominees in
whose honor they were worn and 9TH
ers had various devices which would
stir the blood of old time politicians
who had long ago forgotten them.

The CroDs.

Observer Salisbury's crop review is
sued yesterday gives the following sum-
mary:
The past week was. for the most
part, dry and cool, with frosts during
the fore part, although they did little
damage. The closing days of the week
were somewhat warmer. The rain and
snow of the previous week left the soil
in good condition for termination and
growth Therefore the past week has
not been an unfavorable one for crops,
and they all look we'll, although the
cold and frosts have prevented rapid
growth. The injury to fruit by frost
has been very slight, and the prospect
for a large yield is still fine. Apple

BACK FROM DENVER.

Mr.. Hanauer Says the Clearing
House Negotiations Are OF.
A. Hanauer returned yesterday from
Denver and Kansas City, where he
has been for several days on business.
1t was expected that while the gentle
man was in Denver the matter of the
formation of western shelters
clearinghouse would be perfected. but
Mr.. Hanauer stated yesterday to a
Herald reporter that the situation was
unchanged. and the indications are
that the negotiations will never be
closed UP. In fact, the bottom, or
what bottom it has ever possessed,
has fallen out of the proposition, and
the shelters will conduct their bust
ness as of yore. Friendly interchanges
of ore may be made, but there will be
no regular clearinghouse.

MANY wool MEN HERE.

Some Heavy Movements Toward the
East.
There are now scattered throughout
the various wool producing districts of
this territory forty-one eastern wool
buyers, all of whom are securing large
consignmenits or making heavy pur-
chases. The advance ranges from six
to nine cents and shipments are going
to all of the great markets of the east.
On Monday w. L. Pickard will send
east five carloads recently secured by
one of the heaviest houses in Boston.
Shearing in the southern part of the
territory has practically ceased and the
number of unsheared f1ocks throughout
ttsc middle and northern sections is
steadily decreasing.
