Took Land UnIawfuIly.

Lewiston, Idaho, May GA special in
vestigation just completed by the United
States land department discloses that
stockmen along the Snake and Salmon
rivers are trespassers on the public domain.
1t is expected that prosecutions will be
commenced at once.
For 100 miles along Salmon and Snake
rivers, Mr.. Meyendorf reports that cattle
men had fenced in the whole river front
age, using barb wire in contravention of
the state law. One man had unlawfully
fenced in over 5000 acres of land, and
several others have tracts almost as large,
Reports will be made to the general land
office and arrests will probably follow. The
penalty for this form of trespass is $1,000
fine and one year in the penitentiary.
Meyendorf says the section where the il
legal practices are common is the greatest
stock country in the United States and
capable of furnishing homes for many
more people than are now there. 1t is a
splendid range for thousands of more
cattle, but at present the cattle kings
are endeavoring to keep out Others and
have fenced in the whole country.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report for last week is
as follows:
The sanguine feeling as to the trade
and speculation finds reflection in the
enormous activity in stock speculation,
which has attracted much money from
the usual commercial channels and ex-
banded clarings to unheard of totals.
Warm, sunny weather is helping re-
tail trade in the cities and is likewise
affording the farmers favorable oppor-
tunity to complete crop planting. Gen
eral business the country over must be
classed as satisfactory The iron and
steel trades, though reaching somewhat
of lull in the country, continue to
furnish the best reports, while the tex
tile industries return the least favora-
BILE accounts. Wool is quiet, mills buy
ing to fill only immediate wants. There
Is more movement at the west and on
the Pacific coast, however. London
prices are higher for finer merino
grades and lower for crossbreds.
The crop situation at present is quite
encouraging. Warm, sunny weather is
helping corn and cotton, and wheat
maintains generally good condition,
Notwithstanding reports of damage by
insects in the southwest. Grain plant
ing Is almost finished in the northwest
and liberal rains in California have
helped the situation there. The iron
trade production naturally appears to
be catching up with demands in the
cruder forms. Bessemer pig iron is
rs cents lower this week and sales of
southern pig have been so cents below
the asking price of some weeks ago,
although Birmingham reports sched-
ules adhered to. Other metals are quite
steady, except as to tin, which is slight
ly lower on the week.
Wheat (including fiour) shipments
for the week aggregate 5,100,173 bush
els, against 4.282,129 bushels last week,
4,537 ,033 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1900, 3,4S4,O 81 bushels in 1899
and 2,923,775 in 1898. From July 1 to
date this season wheat exports are
176,916,238 bushels, against Ice, 035, 602
bushels last season and POI, 1885, 6S in
1898-99.
Failures for the week number 1853 as
compared with 214 last week, 173 in
this week year ago, 164 in 1899 and
240 in 1898.
Canadian failures in April numbered
20, the same number as a week ago,
but liabilities aggregated only $3.50, 4S5,
a decrease Of 20 per cent from 1900.
