Territory, have discovered that the
eastern boundary line of the Terri

east Of the true line and that Fort
Smith is in factiforty miles from the

taken very seriously, the import =

Wednesday, Feb. 10, 1897.
Dear Sir-Advices from Liver
pool have not been of an en-
couraging nature, therefore our
market became somewhat
easier. and tired holders. owing
to the heavy port and interior
receipts, We're induced TO liqui-
date, which naturally caused a
decline of : to 9 points since
Mondays closing.
The semi-weekly movement
at the Is leading interior towns
this year, as compared to the
same time last year and the
year before last was as follows:
Year. Receipts. Shipments. Stock.
1897 10000 $1,000 352, ,OOO
1896 25,0OO 81, l,OsO 500, ,OOO
1895 $1,000 $1,000 366, ,OOC
The situation seems to be
mixed, many claiming that the
recent decline has discounted
to some extent the liberal move
ment and bad trade, while 9th
ers are of the opinion that lack
of speculation may cause a
further decline. Nevertheless
present prices are not dear and
should any additional decline
be established, outside specula-
ton may be attracted TO the
article, and thereby cause an
enhancement of values. The
fact of the matter is, unless the
apathy which has been ruling
