LOWER By A NICKEL
Local Market For Hogs is
Topped by 1852 ~.
BULK AT S3.40 TO $3.50
Cattle Steady and Supply Ut
terIy Inadequate,

Hogs on the market yesterday were five
cents lower, tops bringing $S.5215. There
was a good run of hogs. with the quality
common. On the whole the grade of the
offerings of hogs was not so good as the
day before, though the run was fair, and
about the same as Friday. All the pork
Prs coming were a very mixed lot, a few
being fair to good, but these being offset
by a lot Of coarse stock and small ami
pals that materially brought down the
average. Considering that the day was
saturday, the run was good as to quaint
~. but the unsettled condition Of the mar
kets all over and the uncertainty of the
governments policy as to foreign affairs
Is having very perceptible effect on the
local market. Hogs which are any where
GEAR in shipping condition are being hur-
ried in TO market whether they are ready
or not The natural result is the demon
aliZing OF the market as we'll as heavy
receipts OF inferior stock. Coarse, runty,
and mixed stuff come in where, under or
slnary conditions, these would be fed up
TO condition where they would bring bet
Ter prices and push the market up a very
Improbable extent. Wallace, for the DoId
concerns. and export shipment were the
buyers. and so far as the quality of the
offerings would justify them, bought read
lily all IN sight Lane ana few others |
bought scattering lunches. 1t was the |
universal hope expressed by the commits +
sion men that next week would determine /
the true state Of affairs as TO our foreign /
policy and brisk effect of a rising mar /
ket soon felt.
only two cars OF hogs were held over
from yesterdays business The BUYERS /
were well satisfied as TO some few of their
purchases. these being good lots of swine |
in fat condition, but the bulk CO the Of 1
ierlngs was decidedly mixed and not of
the best quality.
The bulk Of the sales ranged from. s.. 40
TO $3.50 The business as to incoming
hogs vas over at an early hour. but sons :
outgoing shipments were made which
Kept the yards forces until after dark
The receipts were C20, Dold taking most
OF them.

Resolutions

Whereas, The city OF Oca la has
an outstanding Indebtedness in
bonds and floating scrip 10 the
amount OF S24, 900: and
Whereas, The scrip system Of
Ocala is a menace to the credit Of
the city and takes money from
legitimate channels of business
and invites speculation upon the
credit of the city; and
Whereas, Said speculation and
scrip system floats the indebted
ness of the city on paper that is
discounted in the markets ten
Ter cent. upon its face value, and
at the same time bears eight per
cent. interest; and
Whereas, This condition Of the
financial affairs of the city is pre-
judicial to the best interests of
the city, and is liable to depre-
Ciate the value of the electric
light bonds voted by the citizens;
and
Whereas, The plan Of issuing
deprecated scrip IN payment Of
city debts IS unbuSineSshke, and
in fact is IA dishonest principles in
business; and
Whereas, The city council has
been entrusted with the affairs OF
the municipal government to
make laws and submit plans for
the betterlncnt Of the govern
1nrnt; and
Whereas, The city council in
Onlunctinn with the mayor, has
caused III election to be held on
Jan" 10th, 1898, to vote on the
qu"%tiOn Of issuing bonds to the
amount OF S24 900 bearing six per
cent interest; and
Whereas, The issuance Of these
bonds will put Ocala on a cash
basis and stop the issuance of
discounted scrip at ten per cent.
and bearing eight per cent. inter
est: and
Whereas, The city council, now
asSrmbItd on June 18th, believes
the issuance Of these bond will
put Ocaia in good business form,
ana ma ke it, an inviting field for
legitimate business Investments: ,
therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense
of the council, that it should not |
only call the election for the iSeu-
clarrS this TO be the best policy
and an honorable plan upon
which to secure to Ocala an A |
credit IN the money markets,
whereby the city is listed for
good Investments, and at the
same time establish a cash basis
at home; be it further
Resolved, That the citizens of
Ocala are requested to cooperate
with the council in the issuance
Of these bonds to uphold the
credit of the city and maintain u
strong financial policy by voting

NEARLY all the Japanese who will

Feb. 6. Mr.. Sheppard and Il. d.
Moler are from Honolulu, and have

laborers in the islands are getting
ready to go north as soon as their

Mr.. Shephard. "A big syndicate in
Japan is behind the scheme, and the
laborers will only get about the same
pay as they do on the plantations.
Overseers will go with them, and
the coolies will be worked in gangs,
l suppose. Outside OF these, lots Of
Japanese who have saved a little
money on their own account will go,
and | would not be surprised to see
1000 or 5000 of the little brown fell
lows stretched out along the banks
OF the Yukon. The steamer they
will come on will probably be the
Saiko Maru, while others will go on
the Canadian Pacific Company's
boats to Victoria B, O."

FRIDAY, FEB, IS, 1898.

The Legislature is a sufficiently
close corporation already without
bending its neck so low as to wear the
Cabinet collar like the Anglo. Saxon
thralls Of old. Let the natural
leaders of the house in brains and
experience be "the leaders of the
legislative teams for better or for
worse" There is better material
in both Houses than in the Cabinet
of the Oligarchs as will be discover
ed befor the session is over. There
is independence, to limited extent,
in the assembly, even If there is
none in the Senate.

A WISE MOVEMENT

The Attorney General will intro
duce an act, through which the re-
vised Penal aud Civil Laws will be
placed on our statutes.
Mr.. 5. M. Ballou deserves great
credit for the manner, in which he
has compiled the laws on behalf Of
the taxpayers, and he has accom-
plished work which is highly
meritorious and almost perfect.
The compilation of the laws will
simplify and assist the labors OF the
bench, bar and the laymen, who may
be interested in the procedures Of
the Court.
The Attorney. General is deeply
interested in the matter and has ad-
dressed the following circular letter
to the members OF the bar:
"You are invited TO attend meet
ing OF the members OF the Honolulu
Bar, at the Office OF the Attorney
General, on Saturday, February 10,
at IL a. m.
"The chief object OF the meeting
is to consider the advisabiity of
recommending to the Legislature
that the Civil Laws and Penal Laws,
recently compiled, be enacted as the
laws of the Republic
"Respectfully Yours,
"W. o. SMITH,
ATTORNEY General"
