CHICAGO, April 3-The cattle market to-
day was of the usual Saturday character, re-
ceipts being small and prices in consequence
being largely nominal. The end Of the week
finds the market in satisfactory condition
and prospects are regarded as good for some
weeks ahead. Prices of hogs averaged a
nickel lower Sales were largely at $4,000

the state, had not case in sight, and
owned just 25 cents. He looks back
to that time now with grateful remem-
brance of the courage with which his
wife helped him to meet a desperate
situation and conquer 1t. 1t was not
long before his ability had given him
a standing in his new home, and he
went to the head of his profession in
Buffalo county in a few years. He
never held office until 1895, when he
was made district judge. But in 1892
he came within two votes of being
elected United States senator from Ne
braska.
In politics he was brought up a Dem
ocrat, and he felt pretty lonely when
he reached Nebraska and found how
few members of that party there were
in his new home. 1t did not discourage
him, however. He started right in as
a propaganda Of financial reform. In
time his views on the financial question
took him out Of the Democratic party,
and he was one of the founders of the
Populist party in Nebraska. He Is a
radical on finance. He thinks our
whole financial system is wrong and is
q menace to the republic.

who now figures as the leader Of the

Gossip by private wire to Osborne, Crosby

OF the Minneapolis chamber of commerce.:
Chicago-Provisions are gradually work
Ing lower, as is natural after good advance
and in the month of April. Notwithstanding
Light receipts of hogs, in Chicago, the Price
Current states packing Of West for March
was 1,31O,O0o which is the largest packing on
record for that month.
Ch1cago-Weather map shows general rains
West, but they are light. There are showers
throughout southern Dakota, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Arkansas. The only heavy rainfall
was at Dodge City, Kan.
Chicago-Today the Chicago Packing COM
pany were the best sellers of ribs. Scattered
holders sold pork. Lard was neglected. Think
1t should be sold. The large stocks will de-
press prices.
Closing cables: Paris wheat, steady to 15c
higher. Berlin, wheat, n to ~ mark lower
Antwerp, wheat unchanged.
New York: Our market is entirely in the
hands Of professionals. There seems to be no
important buying for long account, yet when
the bear element starts to cover as it did
yesterday, the effort to buy lifts stocks
easily.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 3.-The wheat mar
ket opened stronger today and ruled strong
er throughout the session, with the bulk Of
1t on home account. Receipts Of wheat were
fairly liberal but smaller than expected, no
doubt due to excessive floods on the different
lines of railway. Seaboard clearances for the
day were good, even though 1t is the current
opinion that exporters are doing but little.
The gossip Of the day was rather meager as
is usual on a Saturday. British and con-
tinental markets were all reported as firm
and higher.
