hay received and shipped at Chicago
and Cincinnati, and in amounts received
at Milwaukee, st. Louis and Philadel-
phia. An increase in both receipts and
shipments is reported from Cleveland
and from Toledo.
The hay that passes through New York
comes from as far West as Michigan AMI
Indiana. New York state, which at one
time produced the finest hay known, Is
falling off in that line now. An excellent
feeding hay is still raised and shipped.
but better qualities for selling are now
obtained from the newer lands in the
West. With the new impetus to the hay
trade, which may result from our occupa-
ton of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. there is an excellent opportunity
to revive the former Importance of the
hay raising interests in this state, and
many farmers are already considering
means to that end.sg
1t is a well-recognzed fact that none
of the West Indies islands is capable of
raising hay of a quality equal to that
grown in one latitude of this state and
the rest of the hay belt, and with the
present lack of facilities for exporting
hay from the Pacific coast even the Phil
ippines must be supplied from here. Of
course the new possessions of the United
States have never been great importers of
hay in the past but with the use of
characteristic American methods, with
the building of cities and the centraliza-
ton of industries, it will become possible
to put working cattle out to Craze be-
tween the hours of labor, and a demand
for good hay will be felt immedia tely.
The supplying of hay for live stock in
transportation is also a field whose future
is bright The first two or three days of
an ocean trip cattle eat little: but after
that they eat almost continuously and US
ually landed considerably heavier
than when shipped. For these a good
feeding hay, such as is still raised in
large quantities in New York state, is re-
quired, and there is a general belief in the
hay trade that a good deal of the in
creased demand will be met from this
state The fancy qualities of hay will
probably always come from newer soil,
but New York can still produce the sta
pie article in sufficient abundance to
make profit out of the new demand.-New
York Sun.

HAY.
Decided Increase in the Consumption In
New York City-Its Cause.

Decided Increase i'll the COnsumptlO In
New York City-Its Cause.
The fact that the consumption of hay
in New York city was considera bly,
greater during the last six months cot
1898 than for six months in many years
was something of a surprise to those
who foresaw disaster for the haying
interests of this state when electricity
began to displace horses on the street
railroads. The average daily consump-
ton of hay in this city has been placed
at 1000 tons for long time. In the
last half year it has been at the rate
of l,200 tons, and for several weeks was
above that figure.
There was notable falling off in hay
consumption when the Brooklyn horse
car lines began to change their motive
power and, of course, the same tendency
was noticeable when the cable and cleo
trio roads of Manhattan We're put into
operation. All of this falling off, how
ever, has been more than met by in
creased demands in other directions.
The improved trade conditions. the in
crease in trucking, and the larger ship
ments of live stock have all tended to
keep up the demand for hay. This has
been true not only in New York but
also at other places of hay distribu-
rtion. so that the average consumption
throughout the country has not dimin-
1Shed nearly as much as many eX-
pected.
With the influx of buyers to New
York, fostered by various agencies re-
| Gently, larger stocks are carried by
nearly all wholesale houses, and the
| transportation of goods about the city
| has increased enormously. The condi-
tons during the last year have been
abnormal owing to government pur-
| chases of hay for the army in the West
Indies and the Philippines. The last
government contract for hay was for
.ooO0O pounds, to go to Cuba, and such
| contracts are pretty frequent since the
war began. New York has been bene-

other distributing place. The figures for

BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL
Roe Held to Answer to United
States Court.
BONDS FIXED AT $1,000
Commissioner Houck, A ter Considering
the Evidence, Decides There Is
Sufficient Grounds for Hold
ing the Alleged Robber.

George M. Roe will have to stant
trial in the United States court on 8
charge of robbng the United States
postoffice, unless the charge is dismis.
sed before the court gets ready to try
the case.
United States Commissioner Charles
Houck yesterday morning rendered his
decision in the preliminary examina-
ton of Roe. That decision is that Roe
be held to await trial in the United
States court. The commissioner fixed
Roes bond at 81 ,0O0 in default of which
ed States marshal.
Roe is the man accused of the Warm
Springs hold-up, which occurred on the
night of Jan. IA. Up to the date of the
robbery Roe had been employed at the
Warm Springs asylum in putting in a
laundry plant. On Sunday, Jan Is,
Roes contract expired and he left for
his home at Lincoln, Neb., where he
was arrested and brought back to
Montana. The federal authorities took
charge of the prosecution and a COM
plant was filed against Roe charged
him with robbing the United States
postoffice of $3.50, which sum was a
portion of the 1926 secured by the rob
Der in the holdup. On that charge
Roe was given preliminary examlna-
ton on Thursday before United States
Commissioner Houck. The testimony
adduced at the hearing was summar-
lied in yesterday mornings Standard.
At the conclusion of the hearing at s
o'clock on Thursday. Commissioner
Houck took the case under considera-
ton until 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
at which time he rendered his decision
as stated above.
United States Marshal Wall yester-
day took Roe to Butte, the nearest
point to place of sitting of the Unit
ed States court and he will be held
there in Jail until his trial comes up
or he puts up the $1,000 bail.
The binding over of Roe is looked at
differently by persons who heard the
testimony. Some believe that Roe is
innocent, while others believe he is
the man who did the job. The testi-
mony offered at the preliminary hear
ing is not believed to be sufficient to
convict Roe on trial. but it is said
that the prosecution has other testi-
mony which will be forthcoming at the
trial. and, which was not brought out
in the preliminary.
II is ilul Il hilON1l Wu6lneT attorney
Trippet, counsel for Roe. will take any
legal action in the case before the
trial or not. 1t is not believed that Roe
will be able to furnish the 81 900 bonds,
although it is said that he has wel-to-
do friends in Lincoln, and they may
come to his rescue.
The case has excited a great deal
of interest in this community, and the
people have watched the various devel-
opments of the case closely.

Macon, Ga, Feb. 1o,-The merchants
and business men of Macon are highly
indignant tonight over the fobbaries
committed by members of the End Ohio
regiment to-day as they We're being
mustered out of the service. A large
number of merchants sent wagons load
ed with merchandise out to the camp
ito sell to the discharged soldiers. The
colonel commanding ordered them to
leave the camp, and upon their refusal
to do so ordered the men to pilfer the
wagons. The robberies committed by
the men did not end here, but they
came to the city and, While under the

deplored by a large number of the bet

probably be made On the governor of
Ohio for the return of Colonel Kuert

and abetting rob beers.

Curious Dwarfism in Pines.

only 13 centimeters (under three. inches)
high and five milimeters fone-f1fth

and bore single tuft of needles at the
