No Cattle Market and No Re-
ceipts--Heek's Review.

The hog market yesterday was quoted
as srong with Fridays best prices but
there was so little stock offered that
there was hardly a quotaole market II
was a duh and life!ess trading and the
light receipts in were quickly disposed Of
and the demand far greater than the
supply. Had there been q good line OF
hogs on the market the trading would
have been active as the cali for hogs was
keen enough but IN the absence Of them
interest weneu and the few yarded hogs
sold al once and the business was done
for the day.

HIS SKIRTS CLEAR.
Secretary Hay Convinced Tint MINI
lister Loomts Has Not Exceed
ed His Authority.

Washington, April 24-One result
of Secretary Hays talk with Minister
LOOMS tuesday was to confirm him
in his understanding that the minis
ter has done nothing to warrant a
withdrawal of the confidence of the
state department. On the contrary.
it is said the minister has made it
clear that at every point in his nego-
tiations with the Venezuelan govern
ment he has faithfully and accurately
followed the Instructions LAID down
by the state department, which is
consequently responsible for every
thing that has occurred as result Of
the minister's actions. The Nene-
zuelan government, it appears, man
ifests no hostility against this coun-
try, and the resentful feeling has
found ma expression outside of pri-
vate and unofficial quarters. There is
no intimation that any official atten-
tion has been paid to the interviews
attributed to Mr.. Loomis, and II is ue.
derstood that the NeneZuelan author
tiles are quite content to let the mat
ter pass with the denials given by
the minister.

Ing Cut On She Is Thrown on
Her own Resources.


AS long as Cuba and Porto Rico
were Spanish possessions the culti-
yation of coffee in the peninsula of
spain was forbidden. but under pres
ent conditions the government inter
poses no objection. The cultivation
of coffee for commercial purposes
is about to be undertaken for. the
first time in the province of Malaga,
at the little village of Campanillas,
five miles from the capital.
Don Quirico Lopez, rich wine
merchant of Malaga, will begin by
setting out from 10000 to $4,000 cot
fee plants on his plantation there.
Cuba and Porto Rico formerly sup
Piled Spain with nearly all her COT
fee, paying the government a con-
sumption tax of $500 per 22o.4e
pounds on all coffee entering the
peninsula. AT present the import
duty on coffee is $22.4O per 100 Kill
ograms from all countries, except
from the Spanish island of Fernando
Pc, and Spain's supply last year
came largely from Valparaiso and
other South American ports.
