Chicago Live Stock.

Union Stock Yards, Ill, March 20
There was a good supply of cattle for
Friday on sale today. Trade was only
moderately active. Choice stockers
and feeders showed the most strength.
Cattle are being marketed more freely
and the weeks receipts will amount to
about 1900 head. There has been a
good demand. however, and prices
have not weakened any, standing
about where they were a week ago.
Hogs are now selling at the highest
price established within a year, aver
aging about 10c. higher. With heavy
hogs scarce and commanding a good
premium, the situation presents d
sharp contrast to that of a year ago.
The receipts are rapidly falling off.
and the weeks supply promises to
reach only about $1,000. TOdays mar
ket was active while the supply lasted,
and yesterdays prices were easily OBJ
tanned.
Despite the continued liberal re-
ceipts, sheep and lambs have devel-
oped more strength this week and
have sold at the highest prices Of the
year Both sheep and lambs of choice
quality advanced fully 25c. per 100
pounds. The market today was steady
to firm.

Chicago, March 26.-Dullness was al
lied with weakness in the wheat mar
ket this morning. Liverpool cables
came with sd. decline. which was a
greater loss than took place here yes
terday. Northwestern receipts were
heavy at 434 cars as compared with
297 last Friday and 392 a year ago.
These were weakening factors in the
market but fine spring weather was or
itself a potent argument in the hands
of the bears After the opening there
was more or less profit securing by
shorts which helped to lift prices
from the inside. A decline of 5-16 in
consOls was looked aDOn by some as
an important item III favor of higher
prices, but the fact that Liverpool de-
clined in price for wheat cOunteracted
the influence. Chicago received 10 cars
and inspected out 1910 bushels. About

Seems Like Case of Hoping Against


Seems Like Case of Hoping Against
Hope.
New York, March pr. G. Dun &
Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly
review of trade:
Rarely have markets sustained such
surprising strength as they have re-
ceived of late and with so little bust
ness.
The railroads have been subjected to
so much loss of late by cutting of rates
in spite of all associations, and the pos
sibility of open and unrestricted compe-
tition, instead of agreements which re-
strict only the most honest, may well
have SOLDERING influence. The earnings
for March. thus far, only per cent be-
low last years, compare not unfavor-
ably with the full returns for Febru-
ary-7 per cent below last years.
Speculation in wool has recorded
larger sales for four weeks than ever
before, 1866. 300 pounds against IL
SS4 $50 in the same weeks of 1877. Much
more than half is for speculation, as
nothing like the full capacity OF
mills is employed. Americans have also
bought largely at London. 10000 bales
already, it is said, had advanced 10 to 10
excited and had advanced 10 to Is per
cent. With heavy supplies here these
large imports and new wool coming IN
May. there may be found overloaded
dealers. Prices here are still advanc-
ing and many kinds have risen 10 5
cents during the past month. The wool
manufacturer is steadily increasing.

Sam Galloway came down from the

Clark and VIII Galloway, has found at

quartz which carries both gold and sill

width. After testing the ledge on top
to their own satisfaction, they started a
tunnel which will tap the ledge 1T
depth of 100 feet. and they expect to
reach it within 40 feet more of tunneling.

The Dredge a Failure.

The big mining dredge boat that was
built at Marsh three years ago by An

down stream to a bar below the mouth
of Anderson creek, where it was hoped
it could be successfully Used in saving the
Ida, is bein- diismantled. ]. w. Cook
of this place has bought the lumber and
the machinery will be taken to Boise and
sold. The machine complete cost about
$35. Co., and never realized a dollar in
profits The machinery, boiler, ETC., are
of the very best make, and the whole
thing was built and equipped without re-
gard to expense. One chain, used for
handling the traveller, is said to weigh
two tons. The Dewey Mining company
is said to be negotiating for the purchase
of the boilers for use at their Judas
hoistir-. plant at Pearl.

Last summer vast amount of dead
work was done and besides no general
cleanup r-as ~mede at the close of the
season-hence- the profits were not SO
large as they will be henceforth. The
ground has, so far. proven very rich,
ana all experts who have visited the
works pronounce the mines superior to
anything of the character they have ever
examined. Four thousand feet of fume
four feet wide and five feet high, was
put in last season and about 200 feet more
will finish the required fiuming. The
company will, as soon this spring as pos
sible, commence the construction of a
large ditch to extend from Rocky Bar to
Trinity lakes and Roaring river dis
lance of II miles. This ditch will. in adj
dition to supplying water to the Bear
