CATTLE-The feeling on the market was
much better today, as was the case yester-
day, and beef cattle were in good demand
at little stronger prices The cattle here
as rule were very common and far from
attractive in the eyes of the buyers and
not of the kind calculated to stimulate
the market Still the buyers took hold
and the pens were soon cleared at slightly
better prices. 1t was claimed that had
there been anything right good or choice
in the yards Ii would have sold at least
10c higher
The market on cows and heifers was
fairly active. and the feeling on that kind
OF cattle was also better, the market for
the week being a little stronger. The
quality of the offerings today was great
improvement over many days and for that
reason the sales showed up well. one
bunch of very fat western heifers the best
seen here in some time, sold at A65 Bulls
did not sell any better, in fact in some
cases buyers did not bid up 50 well as yes
terday, the market IL pretty close up
10 Chicago prices. Veal calves brought just
about steady prices.
There was not much here in the way of
stockers or feeders and the demand was
reasonably active, with the market fully
steady. Right desirable thin stuff would
undoubtedly bring strong prices
1t will be noted from the table of re-
ceipts above that the receipts of cattle for
the week to date show large falling off
as compared with the corresponding days
sf recent weeks OF the cattle here today
eleven cars were consigned direct to the
Cudahy Packing company and seven loads
to the Omaha Packing company, so that
the total number of cattle of all kinds on
eale was extremely small. Representative

STAGS AND BULLS.

HOGS-Todays market was oNi52c higher,
The trade was fairly active at the advance
and most of the hogs changed hands in
good season Light and light mixed hogs
sold very largely at 50 45qS55, as against
sS Ioff3 47la Yesterday. Good mixed loads on
the heavy or medium weight order brought

terday. Several loads OF good heavy and
good butcher weights brought $3.50. The
quaqlity OF the hogs was very much better
today, which accounts for a part OF the
Improvement shown by the sales below
Receipts at Chicago were way below eN-
pectations, and the same was true Of most
every market. and at the same time there
was yesterdays advance in the provision
market, and these two bull factors were the
apparent cause for the advance in the price
OF hogs this morning. The packers all
seemed 10 want supplies, and the market
as whole was of a fairly satisfactory
character.
column will show that the receipts so far
this week are slightly smaller than a week
ago but about he same as two and three
weeks ago. II will also be noted from the
table of average prices that the market
today was but very little lower than 1t was
one week ago. However, II comparisons are
made with two weeks ago II will be noted
that there has been a decided decline in

DlSPENSARY LAWS HUNG UP
South Dakota Unable to Secure Money to
Start the Dram Shops,
BONDED DEBT IS ABOUT TO THE LIMIT
Two Plans out of the Dimculty Dis-
cussed-Question May he Again
Submitted 20 the People
state Fair Matters.

PIERRE. s. d, Feb. 22.-(Special Tele-
gram while 1t is not yet being generally
admitted, the indications are growing
stronger that the legislature will adjourn
without enacting a dispensary law. No
scheme has been advanced by which the
law could be put into effect without an enor-
nous expense and the state is now bonded
so near the limit OF Indebtedness that it is
impossible to devise any method TO meet
the bills.
About the only practical plan is to sub
init an amendment to the constitution TO
repeal the dspensary amendment and an
other to increase the limit of Indebtedness
to meet the expense in case the amendment
is not repealed.
Members of the state Fair board are here
pushing the bill to abolish the present
board and to create a new board Of five &c
be appointed by the governor as more
satisfactory manner of handling the affairs
OF the fair than the present one.
The house today met at o'clock and ad-
journed without transacting any business.
