where, the whole talk was the break
down of the negotiations and it's
probable serious effects.
There was much gnashing of teeth,
and there were grim references to the
stain upon British arms inflicted by
the Beers during Gladstone's Pre-
miership, and there were frequent
expressions that the time was now
ripe to wipe out the defeat at Majuba
Hill. While the Government has
treated the matter very coolly, when
confirmation came that the worst
fears were realized, that President
Kruger had refused to yield one jot
and that the conference simply ended
as it began, the excitement increased.
Even those papers which have been
most cautious and warned their

HOGS FIVE HIGHER
Better Supply But Quality
Mostly Poor

Cattle Steady With Good Sup
ply and Some Fine Stuff.

Yesterday was a better day In hive stock
ydrcles, and the local market went along
with the general Improvement. The mar
get tone was good five higher. The
grains. provisions and other hog markets
sn showed gains and stronger feeling
che local market was for some time
accepted as to 10c higher, and the quail
ay for the most port Of the day consid-
s-ed this was probably correct Later
when the bulk Of the car stuff had been
sold IL appeared about a strong five high
~ all around. The receipts were more in
er1dence just as we expected at the least
possible Improvement In the conditions of
tas weather. The receipts showed a gain
ser the day previous and the same day
4 st week, IN fact were about the best
III the last week OF cold weather. As to
quality, there can be little said in favor
tie most Of the offerings, and the
STge end Of them were more or less COM
sesn, two cars only excepted. These two
@lrs we're extra fine hogs, heavy in weight
'ald running sven In well fed condition.
Gne OF them reached up over the 300
pound mark by 10 pounds, Both car stuff
snd wagon hogs were gains in numbers.
while the grade was no better than for
s5as only fair medium, being about the
standard in spite of the heavier loads
mentioned. IT was six pounds better than
Monday and II pounds under Tuesday of
last week. The tops showed up 10 cents
better than Monday. as did also the bulk
range. This $3.50 top was placed on the
last two cars to cross the scales on the
close. these being the best two received
during the day by long ways Other
extra light loads brought down the av-
srage weight for the day. All but. one
car OF lights sold and the demand was
good for the better class of hogs and
enough active to take III even the COM
moner sorts. The car offerings were well
coined and bid upon at once upon arrival
and the small lots Of wagon stuff were
strung along through most of the day.
With return of good shipping weather
the hogs will come in all right, as evil
denced by the improved volume yester-
day. The demand on the local market
from all quarters continues good and the
hogs will be amply taken care Of as fast
as they arrive. If anywhere near butcher

New York, Feb. THE first hour in

night under the impression that Liver
pool would not follow our advance Of
yesterday and that a reaction was in store
locally today, found sentiment decidedly
bullish on the curb this morning. follow
ing a greater advance in the Liverpool
market than even bull traders had expect
ed. Other influences were also bullish. At
the opening the market was firm with
prices Sto points higher, but soon after
the call realizing on an extensive scale
caused a partial reaction, but the gen.
eral feeling on Change was favorable
TO the staple. Wheat and stocks were
closely watched by less confident bulls,
who feared any serious breaks in those
markets would sentimentaliy influence
cotton Private Liverpool cables stated
that the English cotton trade would be
governed largely by our market and was
prepared to follow suit In any action
which might take place.

EAGAN Is SUSPENDED
From Rank and Duty for the
Space of Six Years.
COURT MARTIAL'S VERDICT
President Approves But Miti-
gates the Sentence.

washington. d. c., Feb. 1.-The presi-
dent today caused to be promulgated the
sentence IN the case of General Charles
P. Eagan. The court-martial sentence was
dismissal from the army and the president
has commuted this TO six years stlsD-n-
sion duty. which covers the remain
der OF the time prior to General Eaz-
ans retirement in January. 1905. The fol
lowing is the text of the order OF the
president:
THE accused after a trial by court
martial composed of officers of high ran
and distinguished services. has been found
guilty of conduct unworthy an officer hold
ing a commission of the United States,
and obnoxious in the highest degree to the
discipline and good order of the military
establishment Such behavior Is especially
deserving of condemnation in an officer
holding high rank in the army and charged
with the performance Of difficult and inn
portant administrative duties in a time OF
great public emergency. and from whom.
when subjected TO adverse criticism. an
unusual degree OF restraint and constant
and unfailing self-control are confidently
expected.
The proceedings, findings and sentence
in the case of Brigadier Genera Charles
p. Eagan, c, nmissary general OF subsist-
ence. U. S. A, are therefore approved. In
view, however. of his gallant conduct in
battle. upon more than one occasion, which
merited and has received the warm COM
mendation of his superiors. and Of his
long and honorable record of service, ex-
tending over period SURPRISING in dura-
ton that usually allotted to generation:
having regard also, to the mitigating cir
cumstances which were developed during
the trial of the case. and in difference to
the recommendation to clemency submit
ted in his behalf, the sentence imposed by
the court is committed to suspension from
rank and duty for six years.
WILLIAM MKINLEY."
1t was stated by the adjutant general
that General Eagan's suspension carries
him to within a few days Of his retire.
ment under the age limit He will be re-
instated in time TO retire with the regular
rank and pay provided In such cases. The
sentence of suspension according to legal
officers Of the department, does not deprive
General Eagan of any part of his pay.
but as the sentence reads without rank
and duty" ne loses his allowances. which
include communication of quarters, rations
and fuel and his horse allowances. This Is
quite large financial item
