There rs a better feeling in local bus
mess circles. When the prices Of the
staples continued to fall and when big
eastern houses began to fail there was
a nervousness in trade circles that
reached even to Salt Lake. Now it
seems certain that the radical slump ia
prices is but the natural reaction from
the unreasonable prices Of last year,
and the furry from the recent failures
has died out. 1t is conceded now that
prices had TO come down and It is bet

than to hfye them come with a crash.

They would make no offers and seemed

feature of the days programme was
a game of baseball in which the wool
buyers and travelling freight agents
participated.
The only offer made by the BUYERS
was that Of a sealed bid, the wOolown-
ers to accept the highest bid made for
the whole lot. This wac considered
unfair by the owners, which they
promptly resented as such, and thus
closed the days performances. A ma

Chicago. June "A special to the
Tribune from New Orleans, La, says:
The correspondent of a New Orleans
paper writing from Port Limon under
date of May 28, sends news of a seri-
Gus nature which may result in an in
ternational episode On the night of
May "a the postofice box of United
States Minister Merry in the postoffice
of San Jose, Costa Fica, was broken
open and the letters therein stolen.
Minister Merry discovered that there
were several important letters in the
box, one of particular interest being
from Consul Davidson at Managua,
Nicaragua. The fact that this letter
was among those stolen furnished in
all probability the clew to the thieves.
Feelings Against United States.
Ever since the settlement of the trou-
bic between Nicaragua and Costa Rjca,
in which the United States ohciated as
mediator, there has been considerable
feeling against this country because Of
alleged favOritism shown to Nicaragua.
1t is thought that the rifiing CT the
pOstOfiice box was done by the agents
Of the party who do not believe in the
sincerity of this country and who stole
the letters from Managua to get proof
of their suspicious.
Minister Merry has complained to the
Costa Rican government. The authori-
ties of that country disavOw all respon
sibility for the crime and have started
an investigation to discover the thieves
Consul SOTsby, the United States rep
resentative at GreytOWn, is now on his
way to this country and will probably
bring the official report of the affair.
