Yesterday afternoon at the close of the
stock market session many shrewd opera
tors expressed the opinion that good ad-
vance in prices has been inaugurated, that
is likely 10 last until the middle of this
month, and carry the level from to 10
points higher in the active securities.
There was good reason for this optimism,
not only IN the news of the day. and in the
general situation, but also in the character
Of yesterdays business. Briefly, the day
showed high opening on London buying,
and the bullishness caused by the news
from South Africa, an hour or two of dull
ness and small fluctuations, and finally a
strong boom, during the closing hour. to
the best prices of the day and the week at
the close The entire list followed this
course almost without an exception, the
international railway securities, the steel
and iron stocks, ssd 4 number OF the older
industria1s all showing good gains for the
day. Another feature OF the day was the
news of further advance In the price of
sugar, and more gossip regarding the end
Of the war in the trade. The favorable
items in the situation al present are the
closing Of the war In South Africa, the
prospect of the early opening of the god
mines the London buying which experts
say viii probably be very large, the ease
of money, and the certainty of a contin-
uance OF plentiful supply, the coming ad-
journment of Congress. and the certainty
that Mr.. Mckinley Will be nominated to
succeed himself at the Republican Conven-
ton this month, the continuance of the in
creases In railway and industrial earnings,
the favorable crop outlook, the better feel
ing In the iron trade, and finally the pres
ent low range of prices and the scarcity of
stocks at this level. 1t Is an array of
pleasant matters that no bear talk of pc
litical agitation at some time in the future
Is likely to overcome, at least until there
have been good gains all over the list A
shrewd trader last night yeutured the
opinisa that the steel securities, the inter-
national railways, and Sugar may be
bought with confidence for an important
advance before June Is.
Sugar was the feature Of the market yes

nuence in Corn and Oats.
CHICAGO, May 3l.-May wheat had a
3-4c advance early on Liverpool cables,
which were up 12G1d. There have been
practically no rains in the Northwest since
Tuesday, and local traders bought very
freely on these factors. The market final
ly closed with all the advance lost. Pri-
mary receipts were about 100000 bushels;
clearances, $4,000 bushels The cash de-
mand was very poor.
In spite of the good shipping business
the deferred corn futures tonight were
1-Sd1-4c under Tuesday. The May price
was Just about the same. Shipping sales
were about 400 900 bushels. Clearances
were 93i 600 bushels. Liverpool was SD
higher. The inspection was 470 cars, with
625 estimated for tomorrow.
May oats are Csc under last Tuesday,
the July at about the Tuesday figure
Western offerings of cats are increasing,
and the elevator people today have been
the best sellers of futures. Receipts here
are 1888 cars, with 435 for tomorrow. Clear
ances were $4,000 bushels Crop condi-
lions could not be improved upon. The
shipping demand was fair.

The men employed on the CUTOFF are

IDOL OF COWPUNCHERs.
An Arisona Girl Who Led a Party
Safely Through Most Dan.
1erOus Journey.

All over Arizona the cowboys and
hunters have new toast. They are
all in love with the same girl. Her
name is Rhoda Riggs, says the Chi
cago Tribune, and she lives with
her old father at a ranchhouse
near the Pinera canyon, in the widest
part of the territory. Miss Riggs is
good looking, but that does not con-
stitute her claim to the affections of
the "cow punchers." They are all her
willing subjects because she has led
them safely through most danger
Gus journey, with war party of
Chiricahua Apaches at the other end
of the road. The Indians shot a pros
pector named j. D. Mack, and left him
for dead. He crawled to the Riggs
ranch and managed to tell his story
to Miss Rhoda. She bound up his
wounds, left her father in charge of
the patient, and set off on horseback,
with her rifle over her shoulder, to
give the alarm. First riding to Fort
Grant, from which post a detachment
of cavalry was sent out at once, she
organized an impromptu army of COW
boys, which she led on the trail Of the
flying Apaches. She succeeded in
catching up with the Indians in the
mountains, and the men under her
command killed and captured most of
them before the soldiers came up to
complete the rout. Now she is the
heroine of all Arizona.

The range cattle season is over and
the growers are now more interested IN
what the next few months are going to
bring them in the shape of weather
than in dwelling on the results Of the
prices received this year for their ship
ments on eastern markets, and if the
coming winter is not too severe they
will be able to record another good year.
The average price received for choice
rangers has been $3.50 per 100 pounds,
aud while the choice cattle have not
been in the majority, even the poorer
animals brought good prices. Close ship
ments have been the rule, and as a re-
suit the ranges in Montana are not over
crowded this fall. But there is no ques.
ton the feed is short on the ranges all
over Montana. There is enough feed
provided there are no heavy snowfalls,
but if there should be deep blanket of
snow, and it should lay for any consi-
derable time there will be heavy losses.

The Irl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac

Whatever may be said of the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. Ir r. Hicks
bases his yearly forecasts of storm and
weather, it is remarkable fact that spe.
ci6c warnings OF every great storm, flood.
cold wave and drouth, have been plain
ly printed in his now famous Almanac
for many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruction Of
Galveston. Texas, on the very day
named by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Alma
nae, as one of disaster by storm along
the gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the finest, most complete and beau.
tiful yet published, is now ready. This
emarkable book Of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with charts
and half.tone engrayings, goes as pre-
MUM to every subscriber who pays one
dollar year for Prof. Hicks Journal,

INCREASES SALE OF BEER.
The Demand Upon English Breweries
Has Been Enlarged by the
~; South African War.

The depression of spirits which the
war has undoubtedly produced does
not seem to have extended so far as
the great brewing districts, says
foreign exchange.
At Burton-on-T Trent, at any rate,
they say that there has been, If any
thing, an increase, rather than a de-
crease, in the output since the out
break of hostilities, as the railway
tonnage itself will show.
Last year was tremendous year
for brewing. Nothing like it had
been known in the history OF Burton,
and the brewers and the railway COM
panies were practically at loggerheads
because tie latter, try how they
would, could not supply the trucks
in sufficient number to carry the
liquor from the town to its desti-
nation. The carriers have scarcely
vet recovered from the terrible strain,
and the flow of beer, in. spite OF the
war, continues to increase in vol
ume.
One firm alone is still paying to the
Midland company alone quarter VI
a million annually for the carriage of
their product; and the other large
breweries can boast of proportionate
sums. Nor is this increase in any way
due to exports to South Africa. There
is one company which knows as much
as any other firm concerning sup
ply of beer to her majesty's forces,
and the senior managing director at
Burton, who is also mayor of the bor-
ough, says that his company had only
sent 1000 hogsheads to the troops in
South Africa since the war began.
So, if there had been any real falling
off in the public appetite it could not
be said that it had been neutraliZed
by consignments to the seat Of war.

Many Are of the Opinion That a Eors'
May Weep.
Do horses weep? is a question dis
cussed by the Admiralty and Horse
Guards Gazette It tells us that there
is a. Observation-Disclosures case of a horse
weeping during the Crinean war. On
the advance to the heights of Alma, .
battery of artillery became exposed tc
the fire of concealed Russian battery,
and in the course of few minutes it
was nearly destroyed, men and horses
killed and wounded, guns dismounted
and linbers broken; a solitary horse,
which had apparently escaped unhurt,
was observed standing with fixed gaze
upon an object close beside him; this
t;rned out to be his late master, quite
dead. The poor animal, when a trooper
was dispatched to recover him. was
found with copious tears flowing from
his eyes: and it was only by main force
that he could be dragged away from
the spot, and his unearthly cries to get
back to his master were heartrending
Apropos of the intense love that cavalry
horses have for music, a correspondent
of the Gazette writes that when the
Sixth dragons recently changed thei,
quarters q mare belonging to one OF
the troopers was taken SO i'll as to be
unable to proceed on the journey the
following morning. Two days later
another detachment of the same regi-
mcn5. accompanied by the band, ar
rived. The sick mare was in a loose
boz. and making her way through the
shop Of Il traicsEian, took her place in
the troop before she was secured and
brought back to the stable. But the ex
ci:c:2,Nt had proved too great, and tEs
Subsequent exhaustion proved fatal
