me receipts We're small but large enough
to I'LL all requirements. The federal al1-
thOrIt1es have removed the restrictions
which prohibited the shipment of cattle
from certain yards and shippers agents
were doing business as usual. The
local dealers bought generally under last
weeks prices. The Chicago market is
weak and dealers would not pay fancy
prices, knowing they could land good
cattle from Chicago in Boston at prices
considerably lower than the drovers'
ideas.
Mich Cows and Springers-The de-
nand was almost exclusive for good
cows, inferior stock being hard to move
at any price.
Veal Calves-The supply of calves was
not so large as last week. Dealers did
not seem over anxious to do business
Sheep and Lambs-There was a
marked falling off of lambs. The re-
ceipts from Maine where most of the

were only about one-half what they were
week ago. Local buyers have not been
buying in the west and are rather short
of supplies, the consequence being a very
brisk demand for all offerings at steady
prices.

Notwithstanding an almost complete
stoppage of business in the South Mis-
sissippi valley by washouts, overflows

to further delay collections and check

other drop is recorded in prices of Bes-
semer pig iron and steel billets, and
in wheat, flour, coal, coffee and lard,
which is, in part, offset by increased
activity and higher prices for wool and

ThereupOn he issued orders to the eff
feet that, while all useless expenditure
was to be avoided, all persons convict
ed Of depriving the sick of what is
due to them will be severely punished.
1t is further believed that the responsi-
bility will reach other and more impor-
tant persons of high social standing.
1t is also said that several officers of
high rank will shortly be arrested in
connection with the same affair.

house in favor of a new tariff bill has made
no impression on business, since it has been
expected, since November that some measure
Of the same general character would become
law. If the bill stands with its provision MAX
ing new duties applicable April l. the chancea
are that foreign imports and treasury re-
ceipts may be for time considerably re-
stricted.
The market for products has been variable
and uncertain. Wheat closed cent lower
than last week and the May option has de-
clined &c. Western receipts for the week
have been 2781,55 bu, against 1851 ,205 last
year, while the Atlantic exports, -four in
cluded, have been 1928 bu against $780,
013 last year. The movement of corn con-
tinues so large as to materially affect the
demand for wheat Western receipts having
been 1,913,862 bu for the week, against 946.-
O45 last year, and Atlantic exports 4.291 639
against ,O05,S 1896 last year. Current trade esti-
mates regarding the crop are a little more
favorable and are somewhat more likely to
prove reliable, as the advance of the season
makes the condition of growing wheat better
known.
Cotton has not changed in price. although
the floods in the Southwest have doubtless
done much harm. The buying of wool by
mills is still noteworthy feature, being far
IN excess OF current consumption. Prices are
very strong both here and at London where
the advance since the sale began is from
IS to 20 per cent. The iron and steel in
duStry has been staggered, so to speak. by
the decision of the supreme court affecting
railroads. The reduction in Mesaba ore with
the want OF agreement as yet among produc-
ers of hard ores tends to encourage the be-
lief in lower prices for finished products and
so to hinder buying. The great struggle
between the ore-producing companies Of
Mesaba has not yet so far developed that
anybody can feel confident as to the future

many villages no communication with
the outside world has been had for
several days. The threatened rise at
Cairo is now a certainty. The Missls-
sippi above Cairo and the Cumberland
and Tennessee rivers will send a great
flood into the already filed st. Francis
basin, and from Cairo to Memphis it Is
feared that the deluge will mark a
high-water figure that will be without
precedent. At Memphis, the river
has fallen one-tenth of a foot since
last night and is steadily falling.
GREENVILLE, Miss, April 2.-While
the town is still on an island and the
water from crevasseS above and below
threatens to flood the greater part Of
it, there is enough of dry land left to
accommodate everybody. For the most
part the people are cheerful, want no
assistance from outside, and are ap-
parently perfectly contented with the
state of affairs.

ing might finG the river at 28.5. At
IL o'clock tonight the gauge shows 284

locks very much as if the big river
meant to scoop the forecaster again.
Old rivermen declare the water will be
over the levee by Saturday night, the
weather bureau Notwithstanding, and
they are making extensive and eX-
pensiVe preparations for that event
The situation at East ST. Louis is
more threatening. The water has al
ready made its way about twenty feet
in one bank, and the predicted rise will
move it up to the railroad tracks, from
which point 1t will easily find its way
over the island, as the country slopes
downward from that point

There is no levee on the Arkansas side
from Sans Souci to a point above Hell
ena, a distance of 100 miles and it Is
at Austin that the levee system, on
each side Of the river begins and goes
to the passes below New Orleans. Tho
waters are now so high in the ST. Fran
els basin that the current rushes from
the west and cuts along the east shore
levee for miles, and several alarming
kilograms have been received from near
Austin today. Boats have been re-
quested to run on slow bells, and labor
ers are constantly strengthening the
embankments. A crevassa at Austin
would inundate strip of fertile coun-
try twenty miles wide and sixty miles
long.
Reports from Helena, Ark, show that
the river there is still slowly rising,
and 1t Is almost miraculous that the
levees at Helena have not been swept
away. Thousands of people have been
working day and night. Gre4nville is
on an island. and Rosedale, Miss, is
in water from five to ten feet deep. TIE

Being Damaged.
Business was entirely suspended at
the stockyards yesterday, the water
having raised about foot during the
night, until 1t is two to three feet deep
in the yards, and not pen dry. Every
hoof of live stock has been moved out
except Nelson Morris cattle in the dis
ttllery barns; his cattle in sheds
next to the barns were loaded out and
shipped yesterday. The main barns
containing nearly 1000 head of cattle,
are still above water. The yards are
entirely covered with water, except a
strip along the leVee, which is from
one to two and a half feet above the
river yet. The water coming into the
yards is all backWater coming in from
the flooded bottoms below where the
leVee ends, and as there is no current
no danger to the yards is apprehended
The packing houses were compelled to
let their fires go out yesterday morn
ing. as the water reached the fire boxes
in the engine rooms. The pump house
that supplies the water to the yards
also quit, with two feet of water in
the house. The distillery is still out
of water and running, as is also Haus-
er's malt house. These buildings are
situated nearer the river on the levee
on higher ground. Staples & Kings
packing house is surrounded by rag
ing torrent four to six feet deep, the
house being below the levee, and also
on the edge of the filled ground. The
Minnesota Rendering company is also
in four feet of water, lying next to Sta
pies & Kings on the river bank
No live stock was allowed to come
in yesterday, but all that arrives is be-
ing cared for at the Minnesota Trans
fer.
South st. Paul had the appearance
of a huge sheep ranch yesterday, $4,000
sheep being herded on the bluff and
rOadWays. The cold rain falling was
very hard on them, as most of them
had been lately shOrn. Loading chutes
were built on the main track of the
Great Western, near the yards, and the
sheep are being loaded out as fast as
possible, three train loads going out
last night.
Boats are being run between the
exchange building and the packing
house and distillery offices.
All the hay and feed is out of water,
and very little damage will result. Most
of the wool from the recent shearingS
is in cars or out of danger, although
a few bales will be wet.
The Minneapolis papers are magnify
ing the condition of things at South
St Paul. One of them last night was
full of inaccuracies. 1t reported, among
other things, that 700 sheep had been
lost, when the number was $50. With
this exception the stock has at no time
been in danger. The water in the yards
is backed up and so long as there is
no current no danger to the pens or
plant can occur

night: I'VE found the people on the
West side needing immediate help, as
they were kindly directed and assisted
by the committee, appointed by the
mayor, and the police on the West
side, to the Humboldt school. We found
there two mothers with nine little
children, needing shoes and clothing

will probably do to cook their meals
on for a day or two, until they can get
something better. We ordered supplies
sent in for those who have stoves to
cook on, and also ordered supplies sent
to one of the neighbors, who kindly
volunteered to do the cooking for those
who had not yet been supplied with
stoves.
''We found one aged couple, with a
sick daughter, and to prevent endang-
ering the life Of this girl by having her
taken to the cold, damp school build

mission to the city hospital for a few
days until the place is properly
warmed, when she will be returned TO
her parents. The Humboldt school is
rapidly filling UP, and we hope that
with the other accommodations offered
US that all who are rendered homeless
by the floods will be cared for tempor-
arily.
Referring to the upper flats, nearly
all have been provided for in the old
Hamilton house, on Audubon street.
Those who have not been located in
buildings will be provided with quar-
ters at once, as we have had building
on Rice street offered for their accom-
nlodation. We are in need of immedi>

The Italian guns returned the fire.
LONDON, April 2.-The Daily Chron-
1cle's Canea correspondent will say to-
morrow: Here are some Of the deeds
to which England is setting her hands
today. During the week an expedition
or British marines, accompanied ny a.
cannon, went to Trepete, in Shakia,
and examined houses In search of pro-
visions. They destroyed all they found.
lest the insurgents should get them.
Another instance Of British measures
was where company of Bashi Ba-
zOuks attacked the Greek lines at Wig
la, the Turkish ships supporting the at
tack with cannon. After the engage
ment was we'll under way, the Euro
pean fleet, including the British ves-
sells, opened fire upon the small force
or Cretans, who were compelled to re-
treat. The Turks then entered the
village and began to burn the houses.
the church and monastery.
The Times will print today the fol-
lowing dispatch from its Athens cor
respondent: Widely varying rumors
have been current Of late with regard
to the joint action of Greece and Bull
gar1a in the event of war. The attl-
tude of Bulgaria is being watched with
close attention. The truth is, Bulgaria
does not intend to depart from her
present cautious policy. For the time,
at least, she will maintain an expec-
tant attitude. If the Greeks invade
Macedonia and reach a point where
Bulgarian interests become involved
appealing to Macedonia as a faithful.
she will then take action, possibly by
VaSsal and not as the enemy of Turkey.
Should Turkey be defeated by Greece.
then both Bulgaria and Servia would
probably advance, despite the restrain
ing efforts Of the powers.
