PLOWS WILL
BE HIGHER
Unless the Trouble They are Having
Prevents the Raise.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Farmers and retail
dealers in agricultural implements will
have to pay more for their plows, har-
rows, seeders and implements of kim
dred nature in the future. At a meet
ing of twenty-five manufacturers of
these Implements of farm industry held
today, it was decided to make general
rise in the price of all agricultural i'm
plements. A general rise in prices was
advocated by. those present, and com
mittees were appointed to prepare a
schedule for the various kinds OF imple-
ments. These committees will attempt
to make out their price list during the
GUNNER months, and will report to a
meeting to be called this fall. It is
thought general increase of from 15 to
% per cent will be made.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The Record Gays ::
Word has reached Chicago that nego-
tiations for the proposed $50,00o. 900
pillow trust have all been abandoned. At
a meeting of manufacturers to be held
here tomorrow it is. said that the big
deal will be officially declared off. Pro-
moters' hopes have not materialized
within the expected period.
On heels of the report that the plow
combination is trembling in the balance
comes the information that the pro-
iected 100000 amalgamation of
threshing machine manufacturers is hav-
ing its trouble. Promoters have not OBJ
tanned sufficient funds to pay cash for
plants, and propositions to give half
cash and half stock have not met with
favor.

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVE STOCK.
The receipts of live stock at the Union
Stock yards, South ST. Paul. last week
We're: Cattle, 2,105; calves, 1,5S1; hogs,
9,727; sheep, 3,22S; horses, 62; cars, 234.
The receipts for the previous week were:
Cattle, LAO; calves. 875; hogs, 1851; sheep,
5,4s1; horses, none; cars, 204. This shows
a gain of LAO cattle, SIS calves. Its hogs,
62 horses and 80 cars, and a loss of 2,6lS
sheep.
The killings by Swift & Co. for last
week were as follows: Cattle, $50; calves,
25; hogs, Gill; sheep 615. The killings
for the previous week We're: Cattle, sos;
calves, 10; hogs, 1900; sheep, 973. This
shows a gain of 172 cattle, 6 calves and
1911 hogs. and a loss of 1858 sheep
The receipts of cattle were greatly In
excess last week of the previous week,
but the small increase In the number
killed was due to a scarcity of butcher
stuff among the offerings. There were
some good butcher steers and cows on
the market, and good prices were real
lied, but, with the exception of a few
scattering head, there was nothing choice
than for the previous week.
Stock cattle dragged all through the
last few days of the week, owing to two
causes, the absence of buyers and the
quality of the offerings, which was gen.
orally poor. While there was a slump in
everything else light heifers We're in de-
mand and sold high all through the week.
The good cattle that come to South st.
Paul will bring good prices, but the COM
mon and off-colored stuff meets the same
fate here that it does at other points.
1t Is almost unSaleabe.
The hog market declined the first Of the
week, but after that held fairly steady
and the prices paid were within good
range of Chicago and were practically
the same, taking into consideration the
quality.
The sheep and lamb market has been
dull, owing to light receipts, and the COM
mon quality of good deal of the stuff
offered. Good sheep and lambs of the
right weight find a ready sale at South
st. Paul at good prices. Lambs that
could hardly be classed as choice sold as
high as $50.
