Chicago, April Supplies
are increasing, 41,400 having been mar
keted here the first half of the week
compared with 35.45S for the same por-
ton of last week. Today's receipts are
in the neighborhood of 10000 and the
increased supply resulted in slower
trade. Choice beeves We're plentiful and
sold at steady prices, but other descrip-
lions were weak and averaged 10 cents

Hogs-EIigh prices are bringing out

Death of Rev. Foster.

Special to Times Republican.
Humboldt. April 16.-Rev. George
Foster, Familiarity known as Grandpa
Foster, was buried from the NJ. e.
church here today. He had been an
active minister for more than fifty
years. He was in his SSth year, hav-
ing been born during the last year OF
our second war with Great Britain. Fol-
more than sixteen years he had been
totally blind and quite deaf, yet he re-
tanned his faculties in a wonderful
manner, and until few years past he
often conducted divine service and still
later his attendance at church was con-
tinuous. His was model life that
would have graced any creed.
Mr. Foster came to Humboldt in 1878
and has resided most of the time with
his son J. w. Foster, former county
treasurer and now mayor of Humboldt.
Three other sons, Clinton c., Frank d..
and William E., reside in this county
and two in the state of New York,
where they We're born. ~

ouent upon the high beef market. Per-
sons who wish to economize turn from
the high-priced beef to the poultry
market, and presently the increased de-
mand for poultry sends that up in price
also.
The price of beef in the carcass, as
Tie butcher buys it, is now about 8
cents a pound higher than six months
ego. The butchers say that this Scent
increase to them ought really mean an
increase of 10 cents a pound to the con-
sumner in order to make things fair for
the retailers.
One of the large marketmen who
supply a well-to-do clientele said that
even in his custom there had been a
heavy decline since the advance in
prices. In the case of butchers cater
ing to the poorer people he said the fall
in trade had been anywhere from 20 to
80 nor cent

Market Gossip.

Chicago, April 16.-Dealers reported
only a moderate country demand for
slockers and feeders. Local scalpers
bought few, paying prices which were
considered steady with last week.
Demand for live stock at the eastern
markets is in excess of the supply.
Thin canning cattle are as slow sale
as ever.
Last week Chicago received only A.
0c4 cars of stock, being the smallest
April run of cars since 1896, and the
smallest for any week, barring last
Christmas week, in over two years.
Receipts of horses at the yards so far
this year total up 41,779 head, compared
with 39.705 for the same period last
year, showing gain of 2.074.
A. j. White & Co.. Anthony, kas.,
correspondents, wired: The wheat
belt of Kansas and oklahoma has had
plenty Of rain, but the crop has gone
backward 80 per cent the last month.
There will be almost total failure of
wheat in this country; it is jointed and
but two or three inches in height. 1t
doesn't spread or start at all and farm
ers are blowing it up as fast as they
can. The plant is very weak and don't
think there can be more than 20 per
cent of a crop raised

FOOD PRICES HIGH. /.
Cost of Provisions Getting Higher and

New York, April -Highergpricez
for various foods, particularly fresh
meats and butter, have not only come,
but they are here today, and more
over, according to expectations of men
in the trade, they are likely to go
higher still in the near future. 1t is not
only beef that has advanced almost
sensationally in price within few
weeks. Lamb and mutton have gone
Up, as have hog products, and SO also
have poultry and butter. Lard has been
advanced from / to cents pound
within few months.
The rise in the price of butter is said
to be chiefly speculative, owing to the
belief among the dairymen that con-
gress will pass the proposed law pro-
hibiting the manufacture of oleomar-
garine. The advance in the price of
poultry is a sympathetic one, conse-

Kansas City Butchers Complain.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 16.-The re-
tail butchers say that the rise in the
price of beef in Kansas City in the last
three months is not consistent with the
increase in the price of cattle on the
hoof, and that the packing houses
can sell beef lower than they are
quoting it today and still make a good
profit. The retail men say they have
no relief except to do their own kill
ing, and in a large city like this they
have no means of disposing of the
waste at profit as the packing houses
do. One butcher on East Twelfth
street has been doing his own killing
to advantage since the rise in bee.
began. He has been going out in the
country and killing and dressing the
cattle on the farms where he bought
them. In this way his beef cost him
eight cents by the carcass and he haG
the choice of the herds.

BUTCHERS DRIVEN OUT.
Advance in Meat Puts 200 Out of Bust
ness in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa. April 16.-of the
1000 butchers in this city it is esti-
mated that 200 have been driven out OF
business since the advance in price
of meat They are for the most part
small dealers who found it impossible
to sell meat to their customers at the
prices the advance made necessary
The meat corner has indirectly caused
an advance in the price of nearly
every staple article of food. Unable
to buy meat because of the prohibittve
prices asked for it, the people have
been purchasing other kinds of food
and the increase in demand has been
followed by an increase in price. But
ter, eggs and potatoes have shown the
most marked advance, but fish and
smoked meats are selling at more than
normal sales. There is no demand for
canned meats.

Bad SLUMP N GRAIN
Reaction Follows the Strong
Early Market and Prices
Decline Rapidly.
Both Wheat and Corn Affected
by Weather Reports and
Heavy Selling.
Cattle Steady to Weak and Hogs
S Cents Lower--Sheep
Strong.

Chicago April 16.-Wheat trade
opened active and stronger on higher
cables. May started a shade to ls@ a
higher at 74@74B to 74ss. Feeling was
still mixed on the question of English
duties, and en- news of rains in the
southwest the crowd sold some, easing
May to 1875. Commission houses We're
on both sides Of the market. After the
first dip big local buying of mysteri-
Gus nature set in and May rallied,
quickly to 74ls and steadied.
May sold as high as 745s on the dam
age reports and good demand but
when ST. Louis began unloading and
reports of rains In Iowa were received
there was Ct bad slump to 1875. 1t closed
weak, ss@aa of cent lower at 1914.
There was fair selling by scalpers
early in corn. Gables were firm and
wheat strength aided somewhat and
prices rallied fairly well. May corn
opened unchanged to IS lower at 6X@
gas and then declined to 622s and
gradually steadied around 62A. July
was bought literally and held to higher
prices.
Corn turned very weak after the ear
ly trading. May broke to 612s and
closed weak "a cents lower at 61A.
Fairly liberal offerings in oats We're
well taken and brought q firm feeling.
Trade was small. July had fair de-
mand and May opened unchanged at
4s and sold between 43A@427s, steady
ing at 1915
Provisions We're liquidated at the
opening, especially pork and ribs, and.
on the early weak hog market prices
declined. Later hogs steadied ans.
shorts covered and the decline was
checked. Brokers We're the principal
sellers.

BOYCOTT RAISED FROM YARDS.
Restrictions Against Kansas City Re.

moved at instance of Packers.
Kansas City, April 16.-The boycott
against the Kansas City Stock Yards
Company begun last Friday by the live
stock exchange was raised yesterday
afternoon, both sides agreeing to a
compromise submitted by the local
packers. The stock yards company
modified the Objectionable order and
the live stock commission men agreed
to the yard company's request that
they give clean clearance papers show
Ing the ownership of stock. The stock
yards company had talked of seeking an
injunction to force the withdrawal of
the boycott. The request of the COM
mission men to their customers to ship
to other markets during the difficulty
caused no particular difference in tie
receipts of this market.
