The killings by Swift G Co. during January
were: Cattle. 2.431; calves. 56; sheep, 1000;

The following are some of the views ex-
pressed by commission men at South st.
Paul:
The run of cattle was fair and prices were
steady on all good classes. The range be-
tween good and common cattle Is widening
and shippers should be very careful in Sc
Letting their stock. Common stuff in stock
ers. as well as Gamers and butcher cattle.
has declined. while good quality stockers
and well-finished butcher stuff has advanced.
Most OF the best stockers and feedefs sold
at $3.65G4l5; fair to good. $3.5093.75; common
stuff and tailings, $3.5O@325. Best finished
fat steers sold up to 81 80. and fair to good
fat steers s425@I75; coarse. ieshy steers,
S3.Io@4; best fat cows and heifers, $3.50@4;
fairs to good COWS and heifers. S3@3.50;
medium cows, $2.50@3; Gamers $1.5042. 80.
Most of the Gamers selling under cents are
tagged by the government inspector and
killed subject to inspection. Taking the
market as a whole. it is about the same
as last week. We do not look for an over
supply of good cattle. Mixers and spring
ers are dull ard the common are selling at
Gamer prices; the best find ready sale at
10000 each. Stock calves sold higher this
week the best UP to $3.50, and the bulk at
$4.S5; stock heifers, $2.75@3.50 bulk, light,
at $3.15@3.40; stock bulls. $2.5Gq325.
The hog market was quite satisfactory in
the early part of the week, but on Friday,
owing to unusually large receipts at Chicago,
prices fell back. There were some excellent
lots of hogs during the week. and they
brought prices equivalent to those offered in
the Chicago market.
Sheep were dull. the receipts were small,
and not much wanted. The butchers keep
filled I'D stuff furnished from the feed
lots here. and unless the stuff is good, they
don't want it. Good to choice lambs will
bring $450@4.75; fair to good, $4.25@4 50;
choice muttons, s3.4O@3.75; fair to good, sS1
@3.4O; stock sheep, $3@325; stock lambs,
around 4c.
NATIONAL LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION.
The National Live Stock association is yet
young, but 1t gives fatterng promise of
growing strong and great before many
years. Stockmen all over the country readily
recognize the good to be derived from free
discussion of questions germane to their bust
ness, and from an unrestricted interchange of
ideas. If local associations are good ma
tional one is much better as it is bigger
in extent Of constituency, and broader in its
scope of doing good. The annual meeting is
sure to become more popular those en-
gagged In stockraising and agriculture come to
realize the benefits to be obtained.-Drovers'

BRooMHALL WHEAT VIEWS.

The Liverpool Corn Trade News of Jan. 10
says of wheat: The American and Russian
farmers will. in all likelihood hold firmly
for higher prices until their respective new
crops assured. The American farmer has
dollar wheat still in his minds eye and, ac-
cording to all available evidence, must he
holding back q great portion of his export
able surplus in the expectation of realizing
that figure. Should the crop, when it comes
from under cover next March-April be found
to be damaged to any serious degree, then
his expectations might be fulfilled but. on
the other hand, if the crop promises we'll
next spring, then the farmer will very likely
be free seller. and Coo in Chicago might
not be cheap.
The Russian farmer, for politico- economic
reasons, will also hold firmly until the new
crop is assured. He has secured liberal ad-
vances upon his produce and for the time
being may be considered as out of the mar
ket.
Argentina has a crop estimated to provide
100000 quarters for expectation, but, owing
to the great fall In the value of gold. it Is
almost certain that it will be sold slowly; in
steady of marketing his surplus in four or
five months. as formerly, the farmer will
dribble 1t out over perhaps twelve months at
the average rate of 100, 900 quarters week
The effect of the change in policy may be
greater than anticipated In March, April
and May of 1894 and 1895 the Argentine ship
ments averaged 300, 900 quarters per week to
Europe, with disastrous results.
The above is probably the most sensible
and at the same time the most conservative
with the wheat situation. If this is tfn
healthy opinion abroad, the price of wheat
in this market must constantly ascend until
the new crop Is fully assured

many years the Republicans elect both
their city and township tickets Mayor
Loren E. Wheeler, the Republican NOM
inee for reelection, ran behind his tick
ct. His election is claimed by 127 plu-
rality, but the Democrats will concede
only fifty plurality. John A. Stein
back, Democrat, was elected mayor of
Quincy. Peoria, Joliet and Galesburg
went Republican. Dispatches through
out Illinois show that party lines were
seldom rigidly drawn in the township
elections. Bloomington was an excep-
ton, and there the usual Republican
majority was given. In Republican
Kankakee, though, the Democrats capt
ured all the offices but one. East ST.
Louis reelected her Citizens party
mayor. Ottawa followed her Democrat
ic custom, electing only one Republican.
Champaign county showed strong Re-
publican gains, and Rock Island was
also emphatically in that party's COL
umn. In Pana labor was the issue, and
the union miners won handily Local
issues governed in practically all other
