SHEEP-There was a fair supply OF sheep
here today and as packers were all good
buyers the market ruled active and a little
stronger. Wethers sold high as A1O
Considering the quality OF the offerings
as whole the general market looked a
dime higher today than II was at the close
or last week. Everything at all desirable
was sold out early at very satisfactory
prices. Fat lambs were also in good de-
mand and as high, as S.. .25 was paid for a
string weighing 72 pounds.
The feeder market did not chow much
change today as the demand seemed to
be sufficient to take what was offered at
just about steady prices. Good stun sells
rapidly, but the less desirable grades are
OF course neglected.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 80 -OniciGl re-
ports show that the area under cotton
cultivation in Russian Central Asia has
incrca ;cd 80 per cent this year. Tho
crop is estimated at 100000 pood, or
half tile Russian requirements, whereas
previously only 6,0o0, 900 poJd had been
procured from Russian possessions.
This result is attributed to the increased
raw cotton import duty introduced last
winter. Tho situation in the cotton ia-
dustrieS is improving.
The wholesale prices of petroleum and
petroleum shares have fallen sharply re-
Gently. Tho Novoe Vremyna attributes
this to n campaign of the syndicates,
who wish to discourage any possible
competitor from bonding for tho petro.

CLEVELAND ON ELECTION.
Former President Says There VIII BE
a Landslide For Bryan.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30.-The Times
this morning publishes the following
from Princeton, n. j.:
Former President Grover Cleveland
in an interview predicts n landslide to
Bryan. He advances several reasons
for this, saying:
"You will see a landslide for Bryan
the morning after the election. Of this
am confident. There are clements all
over the country at work which it would
be impossible to draw into line for Nc
kiniey. In the first place, union labor
is for Bryan. Of recent years this or
ganization Of labor has been Il factor in
politics and il certainly is not favorable
10 the interests OF capital. The travel
lug men arO for Bryan. These men,
who are small army, are of tho opin
ion that the Republican party is the pro.
tectOr of corporations, and by the anal.
gamation OF industrial interests many Of
them have been thrown ont of employ
ment. IN the northwest, in Minnesota,
i'll Dakota and Iowa there are many
Hollandcrs. Sympathy for the Beers,
who are their own flesh and blood, will
induce them to support Bryan. See if
am not correct.
81 have no desire to be drawn into
any controversy over the results of the
election, but if the Republican managers
honestly think that President Mckinley
will be reelected, it is my opinion they
are mistaken. They do not know the
situation"
Further than this Mr.. Cleveland re-
fused to discuss the campaign, but there
is no doubt concerning the former presi.
dents sincerity in his expressed belief.
