HAD ROUGH PASSAGE.

New York, Nov. 21-The White
Star line steamer Oceanic, which ar
rived this afternoon from Liverpool
and Queenstown, was delayed by ad-
verse winds and rough seas. During
nearly all the passage northwest gales,
rough and squally weather with very
high, confused seas were encountered.
Nothing was seen of the belated
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
nor of any Of the other liners which
are much overdue. This morning
about 5 O'Clock an unknown %eastbound
steamer passed uncomfortably close to
the Oceanic, barely avoiding a coils
ion. The steamer was supposed to be
a North German Lloyd vessel, proba-
bly, the Trave, which left here yester-
day.

THE DAILY Markets
Report of the Commercial Fluctuations d
Interest to Montanians.
Wool.

Boston, Nov. 21-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say of
the wool trade tomorrow: The de-
velopments Of the past week or ten
days have not been of a kind calculat-
ed to impart much snap or activity to
the wool market. The failures of
W. L. Strong & Co.. ; the Stott wooden
mills and Fred Harley have naturally
resulted in creating a certain amount
of depression and lull in business, and
yet there has been a fair trade in pro-
gress, the sales of the past week ag-
gregating nearly $3.50, 900 pounds.
There is no general weakness in the
market and the sales which have been
made this week, SO far as can be
learned, have been made at substan-
TALLY the same prices as were current
a week ago. Holders Of wool are
generally firm. this is especially rue
Of the holdings in the country. In
fact, the latter are firmer, if anythingI
than before the failures referred to, al
they consider them local in theiF
character. The goods market hak
shown some improvement and tb
outlook is good for the heavy weight
season.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 2,925, 900 pounds do
mestic and 527, 900 pounds foreign,
making a total Of 3,452, 600, against a
total Of 1886, 900 for the previous
week and a total Of 16, 1873, 900 for the
corresponding week last year Sales
since January 1 amount to 1913, 105, 800
pounds against 314, 067, 554 pounds for
the corresponding time last year.

Deputy Woodham Catches a Wyoming
Sheep Thief.

Deputy Sheriff H. Woodham of
Park county is not without l~aurels, al
though Sheriff Young's murderer @
still at large. About 3 O'Clock TIES
day morning that valiant Officer de-
livered to Sheriff Oscar HiesVGnd of
Casper, Wyo., a very much Wanted
criminal in the person OF Otto Chino
worth, wanted at Casper foyfstealing
a band of sheep. Chinowort1 was To-
Gated and captured a few days ago on
Clark's. Fork by a deputy &herif of
Big Horn county, who at onde notified
Sheriff Hiestand, who cam4 at once
for his prisoner, but before Feaching
here the prisoner had effected his es-
cape. Deputy Woodhom, whois al
ways on the lookout for all criminals,
however, recaptured Chinoworth and
brought him to Billings. Sheriff HE
stand met them at the depot and took
charge Of the prisoner, safely lodging
him in the county Jail until the de-
parture of the Burlington train. This
he boarded with his maj and will no
doubt safely land him in Casper.
Sheriff Hiestand was the happiest man
in Billings when he obtained possess
sion of the prisoner, as he had given up
all hope of his capture after the escape
from the Big Horn county deputy.

RUSSIANS AND CHINESE.
Both Continue Active in Province of
Manchuria.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 21-Dispatches
received today at headquarters of the
Russian general staff, describe wide
spaces in Manchuria as in a disturbed
condition. Several small bodies Of
Chinese regulars have been encount-
cred by the Russian troops during the
past three weeks, and elsewhere robber
bands are robbing and ~plundering the
country, fleeing at the Russian ad-
vances. General Loninoff with a
mixed force October 81 engaged the
Chinese about 70 versts north of
Kwang Tsheng Use, capturing 800. A

inforce the Russian garrison there

counting all classes, in the competition.
The Southwestern Passenger Traffic
bureau has granted a rate of one fare
plus So from all points in its territory
to the exposition and it is confidently
expected that the same rate will apply
from all the immediate territory. The
exposition will be held at a time when
Christmas beef, mutton and pork our
chases are made, and with a low rail-
road rate hundreds of butcher buyers,
exporters ant other buyers will be at
tracted to the city. English buyers
have already arranged to come to the
exposition for their Christmas supply
of beef. The exposition begins Dec. |
and holds eight days.
Only beef cattle, the mutton breeds
of sheep and draft horses are recog-
nized at the International.
Seven foreign countries will have
official representation at the Interna-
tional Live Stock exposition. The
German government made space reser-
walton this week for a display.
In addition to the feeding results and
feed displays by the agricultural col
leges the fine stock breeder will show
what good blood means and the farmer
will produce latter taking living
pictures in testimony of the efficacy
of good hay and grain, and the butcher,
knight Of the saw and %cleaver, will by
block tests verify or disprove the con-
illusions reached by all the others.
The entire show will be a record
breaker. 1t will be the livestock fea-
ture of the 10Th century and will be a
fitting windup of the glorious progress
that has been made in the past 100
years.

managements, and a whole lot of the
best and most progressive business men
of Chicago have combined in the inter
est of the breeders, feeders and farmers
of this whole country.

GREAT LIVE STOCK SHOW.
Chicago International Exposition to be a
Grand Success.


. The management of the Union Stock
Yards at Chicago is erecting a build
ing 600 feet long and 100 feet wide to
be used as additional space for the In
ternational Live Stock exposition.
This building will be built alongside of
the Dexter Park amphitheater, which,
as has been often stated, is 600 feet
long and 400 feet wide, constructed of
brick and steel and containing stall
room for about 5000 animals. The
new building is being built for expose
ton purposes only, and les erection is
a strong evidence of what the EXPOSE

Some idea of the magnitude etYfhee

that there are 1890 premiums ia be
awarded. It will take about 75Dsyards
of ribbon for the premiums.

UNITED STATES NEGOTIATING
FOR RECIPROCITY.
DIFFICULT TO FORM BASIS
Obstacles That Representatives Of
Two Governments Have
to Contend with.

Washington, Nov. 21-Negotiations
are in progress between the state de-
partment and the Russian government,
as represented respectively by Special
Plenipotentiaries Kasson and Ambas-
sador Cassini, looking to the making
of a reciprocity treaty under the
terms of the Dingley tariff act. AS
both countries are large producers of
raw material and as Russia is making
enough strides in the development of
manufactures of metals and textiles,
it is with great difficulty that the
plenipotentiaries can find articles to
form a basis of tariff reductions for
such treaty.
A vexatious commodity, for in
stan&y, is sugar, which Russia is pro-
aucing in rapidly increasing quantities
and is now marketing in the United
States. With one phase in it's produc-
ton and it's expectation this sugar re-
ceives substantial aid from either the
local or the general Russian govern
ment. Under a strict construction of
the countervailing duty section of the
Dingley act such bounty aided sugar
is liable to a discriminatory duty.
But the United States government,
upon representations of the Russian
government, has indefinitely suspend
ed exaction of such duties. For it's
part the Russian government has re-
Trained from imposing maximum, and
in most cases prohibitory duties upon
United States exports to Russia. Now
it is intimated that the situation is
rather precarious and that there is
danger at any moment of a judicial
decision or some executive action on
m side or the other that may destroy
the amicable understanding. This APP
pears from the news received on the
Pacific coast that Russia is contem-
plating an 80 per cent increase of duty
on American -four, while the sugar
deal is by no means permanent.
