WHAT THE NAVY NEEDS
Secretary Long Calls Upon Bureau
Chief for Estimates

Washington, Aug. 31-The secretary OF
the navy has directed that IN estimate
for the requirements of the naval SCI vice
next year shall be submitted by tomor-
row. September /, thus giving him three
months for co-ordinating them for SUBJ
mission to congress. Accordingly, the sew
eral naval bureaus have been active of
lat preparing their final figures. and all
the estimates. with the exception Of these
relating to armor and ordnance, yill be
in hand tomorrow. They show, in gen.
eral, considerable increase ali along tie
line. owing to the rapid development of
the navy, the unprecedented amount Of
naval shipbuilding now in progress and
the enlarged demands growing out of
the war and the acquisition Of new ter
ritory.
The largest item is $4,000, 900 under the
head of increase of the navy which Is
$5,O00.0O more than any previous estimate
under this head. 1t is due TO the unusual
number of warships now in course of con-
classes. a total much in excess of the
number under construction at any pre-
vious time in the history of the navy.
These include eleven battleshios. four
monitors, three armored cruisers. six pro-
tected cruisers. bhirty-three destroyers
and torpedo boats and several miscellan-
eous craft, submarine boats, etc. The
item of increase Of the navy" covers
the work already authorized and now in
course Of construction both in engineer
ing and structural branches and is con-
CURED in by Admirals Hichborn and Mel
Vile. chiefs of the construction and of
the engineering bureaus, respectively.
mates for new engineering plants. equip
ments. tools, buildings, ETC., at Norfolk.
Port Royal, Port Orchard and Mare is
land. California The plants are old. and
the requirements now made on them in
duce the chief engineer to recommend the
most modern appliances and such a re-
modelling OF buildings as will bring them
UP TO date. Admiral Endicott. chief of
the bureau of yards and docks, will re-
commend two more large dry docks on
the Atlantic seaboard. one at New York.
and the other at Norfolk. The estimate
will be about 81 $4,000 each. Admiral
O'Neil's estimate on armor and ordnance
will be held until his return next Monday
tention to this important item. The price
OF arnor plate will have to be settled by
congress and a large quantity of armor
authorized. The aramor concerns refused
to bid on the $500 fixed as the limit o.
cost by the last congress, so that further
legislation is necessary In order to pro-
vide for the many ships now nearing com
.,letion.
Aside from the bureau estimates, the
secretary OF the navy will prepare such
estimate as he deems exDedient for new
ships. There Is no intlmation thus far
as to what new ships will be recommend
ell, but the impression prevails In well
informed naval quarters that the secre-
tary will confne his Recommendation TO
three 5000 ton protected cruisers. TO cost
about 10000 each. These were recon-
mended last year, and were the only
ships not authorized by congress. so that
II Is thought likely the need OF them
will again be presented.

HOGS Ten LOVER
Fair Supply But the Quality
Poor
TOPS REST ON S420
Cattle Market Steady With
Mixed offerings.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
ouoted as a full 10 cents lower, along with
the reported quotations Of the other west
ern livestock markets. 1t was a light day
for receipts. but adj the hogs offered on
the open market were taken in at the
very best prices which the universal mar
kets would allow. There was a fairly
good run Of hogs, but most Of the CARROTS
were intermixed with some few hoofs OF
cattle, and this mixed stuff was first sort
ed and then bid upon by the several buy
ers It was good day for receipts, so
far as the stock yards were concerned,
but there was a large line of cattle which
was yarded for feed and water in transit.
So far as the hog market was concerned,
the bidding was brisk ana well up to the
quoted prices from all other Of the west
ern points, and yet the demand on the
Iocal market was greater by considerable
than the supply. There were several cars
of mixed stuff in, which were made up of
part cattle and part hogs. and most OF
these mixed cars were sold out as to the
hog part, and the cattle also contained in
these mixed cars were readily sold at the
best market prices. All the livestock mar
kets yesterday reported a decline in the
market quotation. and the lower ten
dency Of the local market was in SYM
patty with the decline Of the rest. The
local packing call was strong all day and
what came in in straight cars was quickly
absorbed and at the best prices available.
There were some mixed cars of cattle and
hogs, which were yarded, and the hogs
sold at once, with some of the cattle sold.
and In some instances the entire cOnsign-
ment. There was a large supply Of cattle,
mostly of the stocker grade, and all of
these and the cattle end of the mixed cars
also were sold at the best advantage of
Che shipper. The provision market and
the live hog markets are not very much
at variance, but the farmers and the hog
dealers VINO now consign to this market
will reap a very good return for their
hogs

treasury on account Of customs and in
ternal revenue payments an dthere is a
balance OF shipments to the interior over

principal interior points continues at a

And Closes at the Bottom of
a Narrow Range.
THREE QUARTERS LOWER
Corn, Oats and Provisions
Follow Their Leader.
QUARTERS LOWER

Chicago. Aug. a.-Listless and heavy
under burden of large and increasing
receipts the wheat market moved slug
gishly within a half cent range today,
and closed at the bottom, Sic under yes
terday's last price. Corn, oats and pro-
visions followed the greater market, corn
losing 1-Sc, oats 1-Sc and provisions 1-2
al Lee.
December wheat started 1-4c below yes
terday's last price at Y Lac. The pre-
dicted freer movement Of wheat toward
primary western markets, more especially
in the northwest, was being realized to
some extent. While today's receipts were
still much smaller than those Of last
year, they showed a steady increase.
Chicago got ISL cars compared with 1873
the year before. and Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported $50 cars. A bearish tele-
gram came from Winnipeg declaring that
Manitoba and other British northwestern
provinces would show crop of 5o.0-O.OOO
bushels of fine wheat There was no ex-
port business here and longs showed
tendency to let go of their holdings in
the absence of encouraging news. The
speculative business was small and trad
ers generally inclined to await the result
OF tomorrow's deliveries on September
contracts. December sold from u lac
down to II 3-4c, with infrequent rallies,
and closed at the bottom.
Cornta mely followed the lead Of the
wheat market despite encouraging news
regarding the shipping demands. Local
receipts were 81 cars and the aggregate
OF primary western market receipts was
6260C0 bushels. December opened I'M
changed at % 3-4c, sold down to the half
and finished at 2S Sc. September Open
ed 1-4c lower at 80 e-4c and closed at
80 Use.
There was little business in the oats
market exclusive Of exchanging. Trade
was light in volume and although Sep
TENDER at times showed some strength. it
was largely because of the nearness OF
that month. The December option was
easy in sympathy with its sister market.
December opened unchanged at 10 SAC,
sold between 10 7-sc and 10 5-Sc. and clos
ed at the openin figure. September fin
ished with 1-sc loss.
The provision market followed in ten
dency the market for live hogs. Hog
prices alta the yards were 10 to zoe lower
and hog receipts for the day were 5000
This, with the weakness in grain, put
provision prices down several nOtcChes.
Pork closed 1-265c lower for October
and 1-2 for January. Lard lost 1-2c
for October and January and ribs. more
steady than the others, lost IA per 100
pounds.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 100 cars; corn, go cars; oats, $50
cars; hogs. 1900 head.

CATTLE

The cattle market yesterday was steady
with only light line OF offerings for safe.
There were mixed cars received, with a
part load OF hogs and some cattle, and
there were a number OF cars of straight
cattle, mostly stockers. Almost all the
latter were consigned to the south coun-
try, according to contract, and the small
line of stock was taken mostly in small
dots. There was a heavy line Of receipts
for yardage, this being mostly stockers
and feeders on their way TO the feeding
yards of the several buyers. The Dold
Packing company bought largely of such
stock as they could use
