STORY OF
SURVIVORS

LONDON, April lit In now
thought that there were Mt least isd
passengers on the steamer Stella,
which was wrecked yesterday. The
crew numbered thirty-five.
Several of the survivors claim that
the boat was running at a high rate
OF speed, not less than eighteen knots
an hour. and that II was not slowed
down when the fog was encountered
some OF the passengers have been
landed at Guernsey. by steamers
picking them up during the night.
Most OF the boats were adrift for
at least fifteen hours. and as the
occupants hnG neither food or water
there was great suffering. Many pa
thetic incidents have been related
Several husbands placed their wives
and children In boats. and as the
same were lowered the anxious
hearts were parted. perhaps never "a
meet on this earth again.
The boats separated, so that 1t
may he several days before families
get together again, or before the
real number OF missing people can
be estimated. Most OF the rescued
ones are suffering from Injuries re-
.eeIved while i'm the boats while bat
Ting with the rocks. and in saving
themselves on floating pieces OF fur
niture and other articles.

Mr.. j. D. Harrison, chief clerk o. the

visit at Kansas City.
On Wednesday an interesting and i'm
portant experiment was made at the stock
yards which may be of value TO all ship
pers who consign hogs which, from wal
lowing freely for some time before ship
ping, get heavy with the accumulated
slime and gunbo. This was a mud
test and was suggestive of one of sew
eral conditions which affect sales and in
fuence profits 10 the seller. There were
six hogs taken from bunch. all heavy
with mud. They were weighed on the
yards official scales before washing and
showed up 1,120 pounds. Then they were
thoroughly washed and drenched in a
floor pen and at once weighed again,
and then they showed up 1880 pounds, or
q net loss of 80 pounds for the whole
bunch Of 6, and per head loss of FIVE
pounds The shipper in order to protect
himself should in all cases take grea:
care to send into the car only hogs which
are well washed and free from mud accr-
mutations, as the resulting shrinkage
from the washing at the yards Will not
help his sale.
ATessrs. John Fisher and Charlie Hat
ton were business callers at the yards
yesterday afternoon.
Cash lard and cash ribs both closed
off 2la cents yesterday.
The Dold business yesterday was p
very good day in all departments There
was a good line from the several divis-
ions, car shipments of straight contract
stuff and jobbing and express matter. The
spring trade is already in its early start
better than any year at this time, and
growing all the time.

HOG MARKET STEADY
Good Supply and Trading
Active With Quality Fair.
TOPS STOOD ON $3.50
Cattle Steady With Some
Good Butcher Stuff.

Again yesterday the local market as
serted its own inherent strength, and
compared with all the other shrdluuuu
compared with ali the other live stock
centers in the west was stronger and
held its own very well The local mar
ket was quoted as steady on Sne whole
days transactions, and this tone ruled
for all the car sales and the bulk Of the
wagon and local trade. There were re-
ports from other markets of barely
steady and weak TO cents lower" but
these depressing dispatches had little or
no influence on the local trading. There
was at one time early a feeling OF
quotation steady 10 weak and this was
the nearest approach 10 a sentiment of
weakness which the market experienced
at any time. This wore away however,
later when the bulk of the hogs COM
menced 10 arrive, and the trading in the
wagon and local stuff, and later in the
car offerings, showed that so far as quail
ty went the tone for the day was fully
steady. There was a good demand and
most of the hogs on sale were disposed
of and at good prices. The supply was
good and the wagon trade was unusually
heavy. This department of the offerings
was exceptionally strong and the grade
Of the wagon hogs was generally very
good. There were small punches of hogs
which were in good. weIl-fattened condi-
ton, and these sold at the best prices the
markets generally would warrant. As for
the car offerings there was nothing in
at all choice. There was the usual mixed
packing hogs display, with no one load
especially better than any other load.
There were some good hogs mixed with
a lower grade of stock all, in the same
consignment. On the whole, however the
quality may be said to have been fair,
but not in any case especially attractive
to buyers. There were two loads which
were better than any others, but these
on a day when the offerings were more
plentiful and the grade generally better,
would not have shown up very high. 1t
is an interesting feature of the market
yesterday that the bulk was really in a
212 cent range. The bulk of sales a given
below in the daily comparison is $3.50
As. This takes in about the whole days
trades. S3.4212d3. 45 takes in all the car
sales and also good line of wagon Of
ferings Eight out OF the ten cars sold
went at the top OF the day $3.45, and
the other two at So. 49,. From the S.. 421k
point down to the s.. 50 mark there were
only wagon hogs and these went at sew
eral different prices. 1t was a very fair
day all around and the strength of the
market, as compared with other points.
was very satisfactory, and shippers and
sellers satisfied.

CROP ACREAGE SHORTAGE

New York, May n.-There were small
declines in the specialtes today, but the
recessions in the railways were fractional.
1t was a holiday on the continent, and the
death OF an English banker restricted
some Of the arbitrage business but Lon
don took about $1,000 shares of the inter
national stocks. Sterling exchange was
easier and money ranged from to on
call with the last loan at the smaller fig
Ure. One reason for this is that fairly
large volume Of money is moving toward
New York from the interior. The crop re-
port was at first interpreted as more IA
vorabie than expected, but subsequently
the bears used the decrease in acreage"
to depress the granger stocks which had
earlier displayed considerable strength.
Burlingt0ns net loss Of over a point was
the largest in this group. The understand
ing that the Ford franchie tax bill will
become a law was again used against
local shares, the traction shares showing
net losses ranging from l to points the
maximum loss being in Metropolitan, in
which ii waa said part Of a heavy line of
shares had been liquidated. The veto by
the mayor Of the rapid transit bill failed
10 sustain many shares. Covering left
these stocks above the worst and other
shares sympathetically rallied slightly in
the later afternoon.
The market closed irregular Among the
weak spots were Sugar, International Pa
per preferred and United States Leather
retained over a point Of its advance. Re-
cessions were noted also in the iron and
steel shares. The reaction in today's mar
ket was deemed natural by some interests
in view Of the violent recovery yesterday,
which Cancelled large part of the reputed
short interests in the market. Speculation
lacked any decided vim and there were
marked periods of stagnancy which were
dissipated at intervals wnen sales were
made. ReaIizatons furnished the chief i'm
petUs to the retrograde movement and the
occasional bursts of strength were largely
attributable TO covering 10y traders at a
favorable level.
