than a year ago, the aggregate increase
being fairly measured by the increase
of S24 per cent in hours Of work done
in November compared with the prev
ious year, it has been the controlling
feature in almost every important in
dustry that consumption has not kept
tanned prices.
the year are at the close and the lowest
ever known, the demand calling for less
than half the usual quantity Of rails,
with large decrease in many other
branches though probably the use of
structural forms was larger in 1894
than ever before. The wooden industry
records a reduction for the year about
a quarter less than normal and for the
last four months 28.47 per cent less than
IN 1892 in quantity Of wool consumed
but in value of product the decrease
was of course greater.
The year has been especially note
worthy for the lowest prices Of wheat
and cotton on record. Both suffer from
wholly unprecedented accumula ton of
stocks, the crops being large. Outside
this country wheat production has not
increased enough to justify price Of
60 cents at New York, and the accumu
lation is largely due to false reports of
yield intended to frishIen buyers and
raise prices The same influence has
been felt in cotton which is also affect
Ell by worldwide depressioninb business
and decrease in consumption of goods.
In other produce markets the year has
been relatively less important.

over half in this country. nor the in
crease Of over 10 per cent in Canada is
surprising, but the statement shows
that most of the decrease in the Unit
I'd States was in manufacturing Habil
tiles while the entire increase in Cana
la is in Liabilities of trading concerns.
A few states, including New York and
Penns vlyania, show more failures than
In 1883 and in = few southern states the
amount of liabilities is larger, but in
central and western states very much
smaller. IN eleven Of the last thirty
eight years, reported liabilities have
been larger than in 1894, though for this
year and 1893 the statement is confined
TO commercial failures as it was not
in former years. The failures have

HEAVY Hogs BadIy Wanted.

Chicago, Jan. 4-There was less Of buoy
ancy in the cattle market today: The
change of tone was due to anticipated
heavy receipts for Monday. It was q
slow trade from the outset end while there
was no perccpubie decline, the feeling
was quite weak. Steers were quoted at
sS;l5qSFo. with sales principally at 500
at s-s5q3e9 with extra quality quoted
around $3.50.
Heavy hogs were in active request and
sold stronger, cents higher than yester-
day. The offerings Gid not include many
good 25GG35o pound hogs and as the in
quiry was principally for that class. the
market proved very satisfactory TO sellers.
Ordinary mixed ard medium weights
were no more than steady while Tor light
erades-ayerageS of less than 200 pounds
the feeling was weak sales were made
8. 2HI460 for medium weights and al $. 10
G43 for lights. Prices above A.60 were
paid it few instances only. from A.SoG
heavy weights and s4.l0J4.25 being popu-
lar prices for light.
Today's sheep market had healthier
tone and IN some instances an advance OF
10 cents was noted. The inferior quality
of receipts prevented general advance
but In all cases prices were steady TO
ket being active. The prospect IS fair for
the coming week, sellers anticipating
moderate receipts and improved demand.
Quota tons for sheep range from Sl-Sq
at s2.65GS.25. Lambs are quoted at 2-2J9
6.35, according to quality.

Last Wednesday afternoon we had
the pleasure of making the acquaint-
ance of Mr.. F. o. Udall of Dubuque,
Deputy Oil Inspector of the state, and
also of witnessing the very interesting
operation of inspecting. Each car OF
oil that is shipped here is inspected
before 1t is used and must stand a flash
test of los degrees. The last car that
was shipped by the Standard Oil Co.
totheir agents here, Messrs. Pennington
& Vance, stood the flash test at 107
degrees. Mr.. Udall is employed by the
state, and not by the Standard Oil Co.
as great many people believe.
