WEEK OF DECLINES
Cattle and Hogs Sold: Down Daily

Liberal Receipts and Only Fair
Demand Make the Tone
Weak.

South st. Paul Mimi, Oct. 25.--cattle receipts
this week total about II, 500 head, against 5000
mead last week and 4 500 head for the correspond
ing week year ago. Practically everything
shows decline when compared with last week S
close. Butcher cattle selling 20@25c lower.
This drop might not affect choice cattle, but we
the first Of the week. but are weak, with
all the advance lost. Feeding cattle a fiat
25c lower, with only the good kinds selling read
lily at the decline Stock cattle are off 15c and
selling slow, owing to the fact that the bulk Of
the stuff is very common in quality. Choice
stock calves would sell close to steady, but the
demand is not good for anything but the best,
and the bulk of those coming in are going to the
steady. Best milch cows steady
others slow and weak. A very few of the
| In stock and feeding CATTLE but the greater mum.
Der are inclined to the opinion that prices will
so still lower.
Hog receipts for the week total about 13, 900,
| against 10, GOO last week and $1,000 for the same
week last year. The market has been going
down in punches the greater part Of the time,
| and is now about SOC lower than last week 6
close. The lower prices are undoubtedly due to
the Increased receipts, which, while falling con-
| siderably behind the corresponding period last
year, show a good gain over previous weeks this
fall Should receipts continue anything like
heavy, there Is no question In the minds Of a
majority Of the traders but that prices will 60
still lower.
Sheep receipts for the week, including an
estimated normal for to-day, will total
about 80, 000 against 81 400 last week and 80 600
for the corresponding week year ago. In
spite Of the liberal run, killing stuff has been
| scarce the greater part Of the time, while the
demand has never been better. killing lambs
are up 25c and killing sheep show an advance

MINISTER WI CRITICISED
PRESIDENT GOmpers Before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee

Minister WI Ting Fang was severely
criticised this morning before the House
committee on foreign affairs by President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor.
Mr.: Gompers was addressing the commit
tee in behalf of the Chinese exclusion bill
now being considered.
Turning his attention to Minister Wu.
he remarked, hotly: Il resent the sneering
remark of foreign diplomat that am an
agitator, or a labor agitator or that the
laboring people of this country who are en-
deavoring to protect themselves from Chi
nese labor are agitators.
Il deny the right of a representative Of
foreign government addressing himself
to an official Of our government and re-
ferring to American citizens by name in
such a matter as this, and particularly
when such reference is Of a derogatory
character.
1.-The Chinese minister is treated in this
country with every becoming courtesy, and
he has no right to make insinuations upon
American citizens. Upon behalf of the
laboring men Of this country whom / rep
resent as the president of the Federation
of Labor l repeat that / resent these re-
marks on the part of the Chinese minister"
