WEEKLY MARKET LITTER.

CATTLE-The receipts of cattle tho
past week were again very light and
prices have held very strong on butcher
cattle of all kinds. We are not getting
enough fat cattle to near meet the de-
mands Of the market, while the prices
that we are obtaining here are certainly
as good, comparatively, as at any other
point in the country.
Good quality stock cattle have held
their own during the time that has clap
sed since our last letter, but the common
and Off colored stuff has declined Is to 70
cents and the demand Is not good. The
hulk Of the Jerseys, sHOlsteins and OFF,
colored little steers that have come in
have been selling at So to s.. %. We would
again caution shippers In regard to the
high prices that are being paid for stock
cattle. We think that the market Will
go lower and 1t would be we'll to bear
this In mind when you are buying.
We quote: Best quality fat steers, $3.50
to $5.25; fair to good fat steers, $4.25 to
$3.50; coarse, fieshy steers, $3.75 to $4.25;
best fat cows and heifers, $S.S5 to $3.50,
tair to- good kinds, $40 to $3.50; f,eshy
cows, $3.50 to $40; Gamers, $3.50 to $2.75;
stock cows, $3.50 to $S.25; best stockers
and feeders. 81 to $40; fair to good
and "tailings." s. to $3.50; best steer
calves, A.75 to IS; fair to good kinds,
$4.2o to $4.75; "tailings," s. to $3.25; best
heifer calves, $S.75 to 81; fair to good
kinds, $40 to $3.S5; stock bulls, $225 to
$3.50; bologna bulls $3.50 to 1910; milch
cows and springers SIS to $40.
HOGS-The receipts in all the Eastern
markets have been very liberal during the
past week, and owing to this fact and a
very weak provision market prices
Wednesday and Thursday declined 10 TO
10 cents. On Friday the market opened
strong at South st. Paul and the bulk of
the butcher hogs sold from to w cents
higher. Today Saturday. the market
opened steady and closed weak, with the
bulk of the butchers selling at $3.50 and
a top price OF $2.7O for choice sorted
punches to local butchers. Pigs and rough
packers are selling steady at $3.G to s. &c
and stays and bears at $1.50 to S.
SHEEP-The receipts of sheep the past
week have been fairly liberal, with the
bulk Of the stuff in selling 50 to so cents
lower. Spring lambs have fallen in price
from Is cents to 1.50 per hundred and are
not in demand
We quote: Good to choice muttons, 81 IS
to S.; yearlings, $3.50 to $5.15; good to
choice spring lambs IS to Sc. 1t is q very
difficult matter to get bid on common
spring lambs and they are almost unsal-
able.

BLOEMFONTEIN, WHERE
KRUGER. NOW IS
REPORTS ARE INACCURATE
but Little Reliance to BE Placed I'm
the Accounts of the Conference
Between the President of the
BOer Republic and Miner, the
British Commissioner - English
Government Criticised.

LONDON June 4-Great interest con-
tinues to be taken In the conference now
going on at Bloemfontein, in the Orange
Free State regarding the grievances of
the uitlanders in the Transvaal. No def
mite information Is obtainable as to the
progress made by President Kruger and
Sir Alfred Miner, the South African high
commissioner, and for that very reason
all kinds of reports have been printed
in the London papers. That there are
many difficulties in the way of an agree
ment is patent to everyone, but they
arise to some extent from the diverse
character of the demands made on the
Transvaal government. The Boer gov
eminent is practically asked by Mr..
Chamberlain to amend everything at
Once-franchise, courts, dynamite conces-
sion. The president may well ask by
what title these demands are made, con-
sidering that under the settlement of
1884 the British government leaves the
Transvaal in possession of its internal
independence.
Take the question of the dynamite
concession. 1t is open to controversy
whether this is a breach of the London
convention. Prof. Westlake considers
that 1t is not and a strong body of jur>
lists considers that no breach is involved.
Even If It were, the question naturally
arises. Why has the monopoly been al
lowed to exist unchallenged, SO far as
the British government is concerned, for
six years, and why Is it questioned now?
The second question is the ind pen
dence of the courts, and this is more i'm
no rdl he oIal
that the change which places the courts
under the control Of the raad does not
alter for the worse the position of the
uitlanders. This again leads to the
question which the more reasonable sec
ton Of the uitlanders regard as vital,
and as to which they profess that, If they
are satisfied, they will waive other con-
siderations affecting the industries Their
general contention is that they desire a
reversion to the state of things which
existed previous to 1890. Since the con-
vention, they contend, the uitlanders
have gradually lost their rights and the
general state of things contemplated by
that settlement has been altered for the
worse.
The test question, however, is the fran
chise and regarding 1t the Boer gov
eminent is placed in an extremely diff
cult and precarious position. If 1t de-
cllnes concessions to the uitlaaders 1t
is threatened with every sort of covert
attack II it grants the franchise,
which is what is really required it is
granting an apprectable. 1t may be de-
termining, share In the government of
the state to population who have made
no secret whatever of their disafYection

GOVERNMENT IS CRITICISED.
Reports from Bloemfontein say that
Mr.. Kruger is inclined to make conces-
sions and unless the uitlanders by some
ill-considered act should upset everything
the meeting will not be barren of
result. Few could blame the
Transvaal leader, however, If
he should turn a deaf ear to all
pleas of British residents on account Of
the nagg!ng tactics they have pursued.
The British government, too, is in the
same boat and is read the following les
son by the Manchester Guardian, one
of the most influential journals in Great
Britain:
Our own dealings with the TransvaaI
since the raid have suffered from a mar
rowness of conception which has led our
government very often into pedantic and
even pettifogging complaints. Charges
OF breaches of the convention have been
brought one after another against the
Boer government. In some cases they
have been met by concessions; in others
they have led 10 a series of recrimina-
lions in which it must be owned that
Mr.. Kruger has proved very well able to
take care of himself. The legal points
urged on our side have been subtle and
Iii most cases, to say the least, of very
questionable validity. AT the present
moment, in order to find a ground of
complaint, Mr.. Chamberlain is forced to
resort to a breach of the convention
which was begun before the convention
itself was made, and in all these years
has never formed the subject of a diplo-
matte protest. Meanwhile the really
great breach of the convention has been
committed on our side, for in leaving the
chief authors of the conspiracy against
the Independence of the Transvaal IN
punished we have virtually condoned the
RAID, which struck at the root principle
on which the convention was founded
II Mr. Chamberlain sincerely desires
peaceful and happy issue from a diffi
cult situation he will wholly change hin
tactics. He will abandon those nigglinp
CRITICISMS of this or that measure of the
Boer government and he will set himself
IN the first place to restore confidence be-
tween the two states. He will give the
uitlanders sharply to understand that he

the republic. Confidence being once re-
stored would form a basis for friendly
discussion of the present position. Mr.
Kruger, whose worst enemies do NOT ac-

ness must be perfectly aware that the
existing state of the Transvaal is state
OF unstable equilibrium, and that If ia
