LIVE STOCK.

The market for live stock at the Union
stockyards yesterday offered prices fully up
to those Of Chicago. The cattle and hogs
sized up we'll, and brought good prices.
There were some good patches of cattle, and
they invited active bidding The stock now
coming In is mostly winter-fed The ami
mails represent. in good part, those bought
here last fall, carried down to Iowa, fed
and fattened and returned here for sale. In
single pen at the Union stockyards was
grouped yesterday herd Of twenty-one
steers every one of which, 50 the owner said,
was bought here last November and taken to
Iowa to be fed, and these are now returned
to this market for sale as fat stock. They
all brought good prices, and went to Swift
& Co. for slaughtering.
The demand for hogs was good. There
was only about 5000 on the market. They
sold readily, the best at 81 per hundred.
The competition was good, and the Chicago
prices proved a sustaining factor in connec-
ton with values. But the supply was in no
sense equal to- the demand. More live stock
of all classes lis required In this market and
the best prices will be paid.

BANK ROBBED OF ABOUT 900.
Richland, Mich, Institution Looted
by Six Men.

Six robbers secured $4,000 in money
and about 81 900 in notes from the Union
Bank at Richland Mich, the other night.
Some Of the robbers came from the East
on handcar, and evidently had confed-
crates with horse and carriage. The
rig was taken into Augusta and left there.
There were three explosions, which awak-
ened many people. Alvin Barnes, who
lives near the bank, was ordered into the
house with threat that they would shoot
him. George Robson and Ed Barrett
saw the robbers, but did not modest them.
The safe is a complete wreck, nitrogly-
GERM having been used to open it. The
inside doors were blown out and pieces
went through the plate-glass front twenty
feet distant. The chisels and other tools
were left behind. The handcar was dis
abled so it could not be used to pursue the
robbers Officers have been informed that
a man was seen between Augusta and
Battle Greek walking on the railroad
track, carrying a large satchel and rifle.
No one who saw him dared to make
move to arrest him. According to wit
nesses, four Of the robbers were on guard
outside the bank, which is small wooden
building. Three charges of dynamite were
exploded before the money was reached.
The bank is owned by N. S. Whitney and
2. II. Gilkey.

INCREASE IN PENSION LIST.
Many Applications on Account OF
Present War Being Filed.


Applications for pensions as result of
the Spanish-American war are already
coming into the office of Commissioner
Evans in Washington. Ida NJ. Hook,
widow Of William II. Hook, Company +,
Second Wisconsin infantry, asks for $1Z
per month She is the first applicant.
Seventy-one others have also filed their
Applications. Mrs. Hook was bereaved
early in the conflict. Her husband enlist
ed May II, 1898. Two days later he was
taken sick, and on May Is died at the mil
itary hospital of Camp Harvey, near Mil
waukee Three days later Mrs Hook ex-
ecuted her application for a pension.
There are probably already 1900 cases
with such basis for a pension claim.
The second name on the list at the pen
sion bureau is that of Eliza ). Tunnel,
who executes a claim for pension as the
widow of Elijah J. Tunnel, killed ON
board the Winslow in Cardenas harbor.
Chief Clerk Bayley said there were 635,-
600 applications ahead Of those who want
pensions on account of service in the
Spanish war. If all those were adjudicat-
ed in the order filed, soldiers, widows and
dependent relatives of this war would
have a long time to wait. That is not
probable, as Commissioner Evans will
soon create a special division for the con-
sideration of pension claims growing out
of this war.

There is great uneasiness on all sides IN
London in view Of the Chinese situation,
which is regarded as bringing an open
conflict between Great Britain and Russia
within measurable distance, and 1t is uni
versally felt that the Marquis of Sans
bury's invertebracy in yielding to Rus
sian aggressiveness is responsible for the
dangerous complications, which can only
be overcome by the prompt and most hrm
intimation that Russia's open opposition
to British commercial concessions must
cease. In this connection the story Is
current that the Princess of Wales hur-
ried departure from England was IN re

dowager Empress of Russia, bearing upon
the Anglo Russian relations. 1t is well
known that the dowager empress is siren

WHEAT PRICE IS HIGHER.
Low Visible Supply and Large Export
Demand the Cause,

Demand the Cause.
Dun's weekly trade review says: "Pros-
poets Of peace stimulated many kinds of
business. In spite of records, the impress
sion prevails that delay and hesitation
have legitimately resulted from war, and
larger contracts are, in fact, coming for
ward for iron products, with better
general demand in most industries. A
few labor troubles only call attention TO
the fact that this season has been remark
ably free from such hindrances. In spite
of promise Of 100000 bushels of
wheat this year the price is 211ac higher
for the week. The disposition Of farmers
to hold back their wheat for prices more
like those obtainable recently accounts
for receipts SO per cent smaller than last
year. The visible supply is extremely low,
but exports at the present rate through
out the year would have little lifting
power if the crop is about 3OO,OOO,OOO
bushels more than home needs for seed
and feed Failures for the week have
been 1876 in the United States, against
237 last year, and y in Canada, against
20 last year."
