Australian Gambler who Reaps

Australian Gambler Who Reaps Il
Rich Harvest From the Races.
London Mail
The Australian race lottery, In which
Mr.. Suddart, captain Of the English
cricketers, won 1890. is one of the most
extraordinary gambling schemes in the
world. 1t is best known as Tattersalls
sweeps, and has been in existence for
many years at the Antipodes. The breath
of scandal has never touched it and the
Drawings for the bigger events are
supervised by a committee of leading
citizens and pressmen of the city in
which it is at the time located
George Adams, the organizer, makes it
a business to get up sweeps on all the
chief Australian races, and, owing to the
strong support he receives, is enabled
to give prizes that even singly would be
taken as modest fortunes by most peo-
pie. 1t has been estimated that during
a year e1,500O0O of the publics money
passes through Adams hands
Take the Melbourne cup, for instance
On this race the big sweep is 100000 sub
scribers at 81 each, and the prize for
drawing the horse that wins the cup is
100000. The holder of the second-horse
ticket receives 1850. and e25OO goes to
the third-horse ticket. In addition some
thousands of pounds are distributed
among those who get horses whether
they start in the race or not, and there
are hundreds of cash prizes, ranging
from G100 to the modest "fiver'' EACH
Or this race there will be other sweeps
at prices to suit the most humble con-
trtbutor. The consultations, as they are
termed, of $4,000 at half a sovereign each,
and one of 100000 at shillings each.

while the mineral and manufacturing in
dustries have doubled and quadrupled
their output many times during the same
period.
The object of these remarks is to i'm
press Uron the reader the Importance of
the Industrial boom which the country
is now experiencing, and which has never
been approached. 1t far outweighs in i'm
portance in the sum total of prosperity
any increased benefits that the agricul-
tural situation is likely to offer. In the
iron trAde and its various branches extra
ordinaf J. conditions prevail. Furnaces and
mills ere running to their utmost ca
pacity: high prices fail to check demand;
large advances have been made in wages;
the demand is legitimate, not speculative,
and Is expected to continue for another
year least. Export orders are fire.
Quently refused to satisfy home demands.
The fertile traders are sharing the i'm
provement; cotton mill building in the
South ~ progressing at an extraordinary
rate; aid throughout the whole country
the VIII els of industry are humming at
rate never before experienced.
The { feet Of such conditions upon the
>2cIritH market can easily be determined.
1t ma, be said that prices are already
nigh FAJugh; that prosperity has been
amply discounted, etc. This is partly true:
yet no serious efforts for materially
lower prices can be successful while
these conditions continue; and, If pro-
longed, they will inevitably develop a
speculative spirit which so far has heen
conspicuously absent. There is more dam
ger of losses from future speculative ex
cesses than from declining market now.
The industrial shares are likely to receive
much support, regardless of their merit
whether the attempt to distribute them
among the public will succeed or not no
one can predict
The most substantial feature in the
stock market is the railroad department.
These securities have been tried; their

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
SOUTH ST. paul
South St. Paul. Mimi. Aug. 7, 1S

South st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. z, 1899.
To our shippers:
CATTLE-The receipts of stock Of all
kinds have been light for the past week,
and prices unevenly higher on butcher
stuff and fat cattle. Common stockers
have met with poor demand, but the
good quality stuff sold higher. Good stock
heifers are in better demand and heavy
feeders are selling better. Dry fed fat
cattle are in good demand, and not
enough coming to supply the wants of the
buyers.
The Westerns are beginning to come and
are selling high compared with other
markets.
We quote: Good to choice dry fed
steers, S4.75 to $780, fair to good, $425 to
So; rough f1eshy steers, 1915 to $425; good
to choice fat COWS and heifers, 1915 to
$3.50: fair to good, 1925 to 81; fieshy cows.
$275 to So; Gamers" $150 to $50; stock
cows, $3.50 to So; fat range steers, $4.25 to
S475; fat range cows and heifers, $3.50 to
81; good to choice stockers and feeders,
1915 to $4.25; fair to good, $40 to 81;
common and "tailings," $2.75 to s.. 25; good
to choice steer calves, 81 to $475; fair to
good, 1915 to $3.50; "tailings," $2.75 to $3.50;
stock bulls, $3.50 to s3 40; veal calves, 81 to
$3.50; mich cows and "springers,' $40 to
$45
HOGS-The hog market opened the
week with sales at $4.2O to $4.321a, closing
today Saturday with sales at $40 to
$4.S5.
Owing to outside orders the market has
been right up to Chicago for the past
two days. This sharp advance is likely
to bring heavy receipts and lower prices
next week. We would advise shippers to
get plenty of margin and also be care
full in the selection of their hogs.
Choice light weights are selling 40c to
60c higher than coarse and heavy weights.
SHEEP-Sheep have sold well this
week; lambs getting up to $3.50 and 1925
again, and good mutton, 81 to $40; stock
sheep, $2.75 to $40; stock lambs, So to "a;
bucks, $3.50 to 1925.
We look for a lower range of prices
on sheep as the Westerns are begin
ming to come quite freely.

wind in it and we had a cyclone that blew
every grass out of the ground to the
north Of the town, and smashed num-
Der of stables. 1t only lasted about ten
minutes, and after supper I walked out to
see the wrecks. The wind had moved
things down like a scythe, and there was
swath right through the country toward
the railroad. I followed it back about a
quarter of mile, and, would you believe
1t, found piled up against thSfSemnants
of an old wall, my two big sample trunks
with the tarpaulin still over them, and
all In good condition except that the lids
were damned little. 1t was one of those
freaks of the wind, you know, and
wouldn't happen again in a thousand
years. Anyway, got my team, and soon
had my stuff at the hotel, and I sold the
biggest bills 1 ever sold in that town be-
fore. Got big advertisement, too, and
the town got new railroad station, for

one to make a toothpick out off,

All grains are lower at the close OF the
weeks business, due largely to the prom
ise of enormous yields of wheat, corn
and oats, and especially of the two hrst
named grains. The net losses for the
week have been as heavy as predicted
would follow the big crop yield, and the
bulls are not in a position to be hurt by
the trend of prices September wheat,
which closed at Minneapolis last week at
6I14Q67Ssc, was quoted at 66Mc at the close
last Saturday. The losses at Chicago,
Duluth and New York were equally great,
and, in instances, greater. The outlook
for the week just opened cannot be said
to favor the bull element. On the con-
trary, if all the reports that have been
received as to crop yields prove true,
prices must suffer additional declines.
New wheat is said to be of fine quality,
even better than had been expected. 1t
all grades well up, and the bad weather
that was made so much of during the de-
velopment period of the grain seems not
to have been so bad as pictured at the
time.
CORN AND OATS
There has been an unusually heavy de-
mand for corn during the week. and, in
consequence, prices have held their own
much better than would have otherwise
been the rule, for there is plenty Of
corn in the country and more in sight
The crop that will be added to stocks in
hand will be the greatest the country has
ever seen say those who have given the
matter attention. In Nebraska the yield
promised is phenomenal. The same can
be said of other states, and the remark
able feature of the corn market therefore
is that prices have been so well main
tanned.
OF oats little can be said that Is new
There has been fair demand and evident
ly ample supply. Prices have been as
well maintained as market and conditions
warranted.
STOCKS ARE STOW.
The stock market continues in that pc
culiar situation of uncertainty that has
characterized dealings in securities for
many weeks. The dealers who are liable
to stir up matters occasionally are, as a
rule, absent from the floor these days.
They are taking their annual vacations
Until their return it is not likely that
there will be any features worthy of note
developed in stocks. The scarcity of
money-or, rather the hardening of cash
for speculative needs-has had its effect
upon the market There are, however,
no features that are calculated to arouse
alarm.
