Hogs-Receipts, 5000: shipments. 1000.
The hog market opened with statesmen
asking rather higher prices. and on that
account there was no really urgent demand
at the start. There was very fair in
quiry. however, from shippers, and later.
when statesmen had agreed to accept yes
terday's prices, all buyers were in the field
and with good competition the early receipts
were soon exhausted. In some instances
sales show possibly little more strength
than was considered the market for equal
kinds yesterday, but generally dealers did
not report any higher prices. A few loads
arrived after the market was practically
over, and for those statesmen had to accept
about PIC lower prices than early. A good
clearance was made. The bulk Of the sales
was made at S. 1905. 421k. with prime heavy
selling as high as s5.45. Quotations:

FIGURING AS TO THE CENSUS
OF 1900.

What will the census show? There
are no signs yet. But men of figures
are at work. The celebrated statisti-
clan of London, Mr.. Mulhall, published
his forecast in the North American Re-
view for July. From a long abstract
in the Atlanta Constitution by Mr.. Full
ton Colville, we gather hat the birth
rate is from 81 to So. the death rate
from 16 to II per 1000 inhabitants.
Comparing the birth and death rate for
the decade ending in 1890 with those of
other countries for same period, it
yearly:

The national increase in the United
States is highest.
1t is estimated hat only three-ffths
die here, the remainder either return to
Europe or go elsewhere.
Arrivals in thirty years: Germans

The estimate shows in thirty ear 13
per cent of the Irish, IA per cent of the
Germans and 80 per cent of the British
left the country.
The census OF 1900 will show the for

1t is probable that Bryan can carry
Indiana, Maryland and Kansas This
would give him 33 votes. He would
still lack q votes. Can he get them?
Are not the other five states more apt
to go for Mckinley than for his oppo-
nent? Are not McKinley's chances the
better at this present outlook. We
must hope not, but the figuring makes
it most doubtful.

since 1860.
These are entertaining estimates. 1t
would not surprise US if Mr.. Mulharl
shall be very rear the mark. There is
a decline certainly in the ratio of in
crease in the negroes. The doctors
well understand the causes and they

The honest Springfield (Mass.) Re-
publican says of the recent triumph In
North Carolina, and it hits from the
shoulder:
1.-The North Carolina election with its
white supremacy issue. is expected to
furnish h republicans with a kettle
and pot argument But the demo-
Gratis will have the best of the debate
on that line. The Tillmans of the south
ask hat the country take on no more
inferior" races. The republicans.
having politically abandoned the
blacks, are now taking on brown men
because Of their Unsuitable appetite for
assimilation"
