HOGS CAME SLOWLY
Receipts at the Packing House Are
Lighter Last Week Than UsuaI
ARE NEARLY FIVE THOUSAND SHORT
Receipts Last Week Were Sixteen

This Week-Packing Notes.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Hog receipts at the Morrell packing
house were lighter by nearly 5000
head this week than they were last
week. The official figures are as fol-
lows:
Week ending Saturday, December
29-16,5OO
Week ending Saturday, January 81
II 800.
This is accounted for by the usual
lull that follows holidays. The prices
are little higher, principally on &C
count of the shortage in receipts.
/ The Weekly Price Current furnishes
the following interesting statement
and figures in summing up conditions
turnout the country:
The holiday period lessened the
movement of hogs. Total western
packing $4,000, compared with 54O,-
900 the preceding week and 665, 5000
two weeks ago. For the correspond
ing time last year the number was
425,OOo, and two years ago 615,oOO.
From November / the total is 4,750,-
600, against 4,535,00O year ago-an
increase of 215,000. The quality OF
current marketings is good. Prices
at the close average slightly higher
than week ago and 65 cents per 100
pounds higher than year ago.
The provision market has taken on
increased firmness and a higher po-
sition of values, attended with more
inquiry for product. Perhaps this
stronger phase of matters is as much
due to the influence of the higher
shaping or prices in other lines as
to anything particularly new within
the trade itself having a direct bear
ing on the situation. There is man
ifestly more pronounced feeling that
chances are more in favor of higher
than lower position of prices. The
weeks export clearances of product
were of fair volume, not differing
much in the comparison with CORES
ponding period last year.

ADVERTISEMENTS
1T IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking
When Using Catarrh Medicine.

Catarrh Is the short route to consump-
ton, and the Importance Of early and ju-
dicious treatment of catarrh, whether To-
Gated in the head, throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered numerous and con-
fusing, from sprays, inhalers, washes,
ointments and saIves to powders. liquids
and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and the most effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh rene
dies it is almost entirely a matter OF
guesswork as to what you are taking into
your system, as the PrOPrtetors, while
making all sorts Of claims as to what
their medicines will do, always keep 1t a
close secret as to what they are.
The success and popularity Of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is
largely because it not only cures catarrh
but because catarrh sufferers who use these
tablets know what they are taking into
their systems. StUart's Catarrh Tablets
are composed Of Red Gum, Blood Root
and similar valuable and antiseptic ingre-
dients, and are pleasant to the taste and
being dissolved in the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous lining
of the throat, nasal passages and whole
respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases Of
catarrh are little short Of remarkab BILE. and
the advantage of knowing what you are
putting into your stomach is Of para
mount Importance when it Is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret Catarrh remedies.
Stuart'S Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
diaI nh ho0
their antiseptic character render them
perfectly safe for the general public to use
and their composition makes them a COM
mon sense cure for all forms OF catarrhal
troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cts. for full
sized packages.

oxNARD SUGGESTS A WAY
TO SETTLE SUGAR PROBLEM
He Believes That the Government
Should Pay Bounty to
Cuban Planters

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Henry T. OK
nard, the head of the beet sugar trust,
has presented another suggestion for the
settlement of the Cuban sugar problem.
OXnard wants commission created to
investigate the condition of the Cuban
sugar interests, with view to paying a
bounty to. Cuban planters on the sugar
they produce. Oxnard thinks. this would
satisfy the Cuban sugar planters and
save the necessity for granting any tariff
concessions to Cuba in the way of recip-
rocal trade relations. On the Cuban
sugar crop this year OXnard would give
a bounty that would take 81, 100000 from
the United States treasury to be given to
foreign producers, with no benefit to any
one in this country except two sugar
trusts that are waging war against each
other, but trying to keep up the price of
sugar to consumers.

JAPANESE POST
IS NOT VACANT
No Jmmed ate Change
OF Ministers Is
Likely.
Story Of General Barnes Ap-
pointment Proves to Be
Premature.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON Dec. 27.-Regarding the
report that President Roosevelt had Sc
lected General W. H. L. Barnes Of San
Francisco as successor to Hon. E. A.
Buck, Minister to Japan, it is declared
upon excellent authority here that no
change in that office is at present con-
templated. 1t is understood at the State
Department that Minister Buck has not
inttmated his desire to be relieved, and,
as his record as diplomatic officer is
wholly satisfactory to the department and
to the administration it is not the pur-
pose to disturb him in his present place.
This is said to be the substance of in
formation impaired by Secretary Hay to
Senator Perkins, who has recently made
inquiries at the department relative to a
possible change in the japanese mission,
having specially in view the chances for
the appointment Of General Barnes in
case Mr.. Buck were to retire. The name
of General Barnes, in that event, would
be presented to the consideration of the
President, but the opportunity for filling
such a desirable mission would bring to
the President many strongly backed ap-
plications for the place from various quar-
ters.
the Republican National Committee from
Georgia at the time of his appointment to
Japan by President Mckinley, has served
at his present post since 1897. In we'll
informed circles here IL is believed he may
continue at Toxic indefinitely.
General Barnes was seen at the Cali
fornia Hotel last evening and said that
he had read the article in an evening
paper announcing his appointment as
Minister to Japan.
''It proved very pleasant reading he
said, but l must say L can neither af-
firm nor deny the story. I have not re-
ceived word of any kind from Washing
ton regarding the appointment. If it were
rendered me would surely accept it. /
have seen dispatches from Washington
stating that my name was mentioned.
have slight acquaintance with President
Roosevelt and am very friendly with Sec
retary Hay. When the late President was
visiting this city he practically assured
me that 1 would be considered when the
office was vacant. I would like to enter
the diplomatic service, and were I ap-
pointed would esteem 1t a great honor"
Friends of State Senator Chester RoWell
of Fresno are making an active fight to
procure for him the Japanese mission.
Rowell has the backing Of United States
Senator Bard.
