POOR CATTLE RECEIVED.
Quality of Stock Marketed Helps to
Keep Prices Up.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Herschel "
Jones, Of Minneapolis, who is the editor
of the Commercial West, weekly pub
LEGATION OF that city devoted to Western
trade interests, is at the Holland House.
Mr.. Jones processes to be amused by the
onslaught being made on the Beef Trust
because of the present high prices in the
meat market.
Mr.. Jones has no doubt, apparently, as
TO the Willingness If the Beef Trust TO
squeeze the consumer If it could, but as
a result of his recent trips through The
beef cattle country he thinks that the
Beet Trust could not help the present
high prices If it would.
Outside of any consideration of any
trust" said Mr.. Jones. the price of beef
must necessarily be high, because of the
great scarcity of beef cattle on the ranges.
The fact that receipts from the Western
primary markets, Chicago, Omaha. 81.
Joseph, and Kansas City. equal the re-
ceipts of the same period of last year has
led to the opinion here in the Fast 49,
the price has been raised arbitrarily. We

INDIANS ANGERED AT TRUST.
Wichitas and Poncas Decide to Cancel
Leases of Lands.

WICHITA, Kan, April 24.-The Wichita
and Ponca Indians have determined thai
the Beef Trust shall not DO business with.
in their reservations, and to this end they
have just held meetings of the head men
and decided TO cancel and withhold all
further leases of grazing land
About thirty thousand acres of grazing
land remain under this order in the Ponca
reservation. and one hundred thousand in
the Usage reservation There are over
eight hundred thousand acres of grazing
land belonging to the Usage tribe, and
they say that as soon as the present
leases expire they will all be Cancelled
and the land turned over for farming pur-
poses only.
The Usage country has proven of recent
years a fine field for the cattlemen Of
fexas, who rented the land at ten cents
an acre per annum.
The Indians recently became angered on
account of the continued increase in price
OF steers. The Osages are great beef eat
ers, in fact they subsist almost entirely
upon meats. When they were told by
their agents the cause Of the increase
their wrath Immediately turned against
the Beef Trust. and those cattlemen hav-

were suspected of belonging to the COM

BUTTER PRICES BREAK.
Hot Weather Causes Dairymen to Flood
the Market,

NEW YORK. April 24.-The butter mar
ket has undergone a marked change in
the last few days. When the prices of all
food staples went up the dealers expert
enced no difficulty in raising the price of
butter to SO cents a pound wholesale. To-
day the same grade of butter sold for 26
cents.
The mercurial rise and fall is accounted
for in many ways. The warm weather in
creased the productiveness of the COWS.
This means an increase in cream, and the
dairyman made haste to put his increased
stock on the market in the most available
form. Again. at this season butter is not
kept long in stores. 1t must be distributed
quickly or its market value rapidly de-
clines.
The lowering of consumption owing to
last weeks high prices and the readiness
with which creamery proprietors took ad-
vantage of a firm market also Influenced
the decline. The maximum price was
reached last Wednesday, and held through
Friday. The condition of the egg market
has been much the same. Standard eggs
brought is cents a dozen wholesale last
week. They sold for 16A cents today. Re-
ceipts in New York average an increase
of 5000 cases in the last few days. The
weather has been probably the chief fac
tor In lowering the egg market

URGES cUBANS TO UNITE.
President Elect Palma Tells Them to
Group Economically.

HAVANA, April 24.-President-ele
Tomas Estrada Palma has arrived at
Bayamo. While at Holguin banquet was
given in his honor. Senior Palma spoke oil
his joy at being present after the sacri-
flee and trials of the war. He said that
all the inhabitants of Cuba should unite
to make barrier to protect the Repub-
lie.
For this Cubans should be grouped eco
nomically rather than politically. All
personal hatreds should be forgotten. 1t
could not be forgotten that the Spaniards
in the island were very necessary to the
prosperity of the Republic.
On the way 10 Bayamo Senior Palma
went to the camp Of the Cuba Company,
where he was we'll received.
