Helps Out HomesteaderS.

HOT SPRINGS, s. D., Dec. S.-(Special.l
Surveyor General Frank A. Morris Of
Huron has sent out a circular letter out
lining a method of procedure which will
prove of great benefit to many settlers in
the Black Hills forest reservation. He
says that the act of March 8, 1899 go Stat.
1885, provides hat homesteaders within
the Black Hills forest reservation, South
Dakota, who made settlement prior to Sep.
tember 10, 1898. who cannot embrace their
improvements by entries according to the
usual subdivisions (of which the smallest
is forty acres), may secure a "metes and
certain regulations.
IF such a settler deems that he has
rights under the act that cannot be Sc
cured to him without a 'metes and bounds
survey, there is no way under the law
for him to obtain consideration OF them
other than through an application to this
office.
by the act OF April 5. 1902 (32 Stat,
1867, the time within which homesteaders
within the reserve may file their claims
in the local land ofices is extended to
about sixteen months. Much time is
needed In the usual routine of survey and
plating before the triplicate plats, neces-
sarily antecedent to entry. can he filed in
the local land ONCE. Settlers desiring
'metes and bounds surveys OF their home
steads should therefore present their ap-
plications at once, II they have not already
done So"

LONDON, Dec. Notwithstanding the
repayment of a large amount due TO the
Bank of England, rates for money were
easier today and supplies were more album
dant, owing to the release of the money
paid out by the International Mercantile
Marine company and government disburse-
ments. Disbursements on the Stock eX-
change were, fairly. satisfactory though
occasionally hesitating and quiet. Consols
were frmer. Americans opened weak and
mostly below parity. The movements were
irregular and trifing and business, closed
quiet. Kaffirs were fairly supported. For
eigners were firm. Gold premiums are
quoted as follows: Buenos Ayres, l2.+O;
Madrid, 1855; Lisbon, 24.50. The sum OF
$50, 600 was withdrawn from the Bank of
England today for shipment to Egypt. The
renewed fall in the price of silver is at
tributed to eastern kilograms announcing
the weakness Of prices and to American
selling.
PARIS, Dec. 3.-Prices opened animated
and firm on the bourse today and %rentes,
Rio tintos and Spanish Is were purchased
later the market became quieter and there
was a slight reaction, which was intensified
toward the close by the report of compul-
sorry liquidation In the Spanish As and Rio
tintos section. Thomson-Houston receded
on unsatisfactory rumors regarding the
dividend. At the close the market was
generally heavy. Foreigners were weaker,
Rentes were firm on investment purchases
Industrials were easy: Kaftirs were firm,
but closed weak. Three per cent rentes,

CATTLE-There was a fair run of cattle
reported this morning, but the trains were
very late in arriving and In fact at noon
there were not more than half the cattle
in that were reported on the way. AS a
result there were hardly enough on sale In
the morning to make a market, but pack
ers all seemed to have liberal orders, so
that the sales that were made looked tully
steady with yesterday.
There were only q few cars of cornfed
steers on the morning market and none that
were very good. The kind that were Of
fered sold about steady with yesterday and
the general impression was that good cat
tie would have commanded stronger prices.
The COW market was a little uneven this
morning, for while some statesmen thouBht
they were getting stronger prices others
thought the market no more than STEADY.
Trading, though, was quite active, so that
the COWS changed hands about as fast as
they arrived. The demand was general for
the better grades as well as for Gamers.
Common cOrnfeds were of course neglected,
the same as has been the case for some
time past.
Bulls, veal calves and stays all sold in
Just about yesterdays notches.
There were very few stockers and feeders
on sale and, although the weather was not
of the kind to make the demand from the
country active, the better grades OF feeders
sold fully steady. Common truck, though,
was not wanted at any price.
Western beef steers were very scarce this
morning and in fact there were not enough
to tell much about the condition of the
market. The few sales that were made,
however, looked about steady with yester-
yesterday and desirable grades of stockers
and feeders. could be quoted steady, with
common stun very slow. Representative
sales.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Prices were both
above and below last nights level In to-
days market.
The trading, which has been strictly pro-
fessional for several days, was in the hands
of the smaller class of traders and their
operations showed increasing hesitation and
uncertainty. There were occasional at
tempts on the part of speculative pools TO
put up prices, but any considerable advance
met realizing sales of a sufficient volume
to check the rise. The pressure to sell
showed prompt relaxation at the lower
level of prices, where supporting orders
were also encountered. The result was a
constant shifting of the course of prices
within a narrow range. There were no
special features to the trading, although
the recent speculative favorites maintained
their prominence. There were the local
fractions, st. Paul, Louisville, the Pacthcs
and New York Central and several of the
coalers. The movement in these was pretty
consistent, the whole group moving upward
or downward whenever any one stock took
the i~niative. An advance in the price of
refined sugar failed to dinerentiate sugar
from the general movement In the list.
Renewed in the silver market
and a reaction in the London copper mar
ket from yesterdays sharp advance were
reflected in American Smelling and Anal
gamated Copper. The chief repressive in
fuence on the speculation was the tighten
Ing course of the money market. There
was no money offering on call at less than
7 per cent at the opening. TIL rate subse-
ing the active period Of the day and to be-
low that before the close. Time money
was distinctly trmer. 6 per cent being
quoted for all periods up to six months,
with a commission demanded for the
shorter periods, which made the rate preva-
lent to Z per cent. New York institutions
were entirely out of the market for mer-
camille paper, and even the prime grades
brought 8 per cent. An additional engage
ment of $500, 900 in gold for South America
was announced, making the total shipment
today $1,000, 900. This operation amounts to
a diversion of the demand from South
America upon the Bank of England for gold
from that institution to New York, Dis.
cunts in LoncOn consequently eased today
Sterling exchange here held steady, but ad-
vanced in Paris. so that exports of gold
across the Atlantic are not feasible. The
treasury continues to draw upon the New
York money market, the loss since Friday
on that account having reached 50, 1851 900.
There was deposited at the subtreasury
today $4,000 0 for transfer to New Orleans
Chicago exchange, however, remains al
par.
The trading element showed it's disap.
pointment that the presidents message haC
failed to stimulate speculation, and witt
the additional encouragement of the higl
money rate, there was a progressive de-
crease in the activity Of the markets.
Bonds were dull and irregular. Tota
sales, par value, 81, 700,0 O0.
United States bonds were all unchanged

was a moderate run OF
sheep here today, and, the demand being
quite liberal, the market ruled active and
steady on desirable grades of killers. Some
fed western ewes sold at $345, or the same
as was paid for them yesterday, and some
native ewes brought $3.50. A string of
western grass wethers brought $40. There
were no very choice lambs offered, but. as
packers all wanted a few, II would be safe
to quote the market steady.
The feeder trade was a little slow, owing
probably to the bad wether, but there were
only a few on the market, so that prices
on anything decent held steady.

HOT SPRINGS. S. D., Dec. 3.-(special)
-Stockmen of the Black Hills ranges are
elsted over the first snow of the season.
which fell today. Although the snowfall
is not heavy, stockmen say that there is
sufficient so that stock can feed back from
streams and water holes, ~quenching their
thirst by eating snow, which they do
throughout the winter. Grass along the
streams is eaten of closely during the sum
mer months, while back for miles the feed
is excellent. Stock is generally in good
condition and grass has matured finely, so
that stockmen expect cattle to winter in
good shape.

HOGS-There was a heavy run of hogs
In sight this morning, but the snow storm
made the trains. even later than usual in
arriving. On the start packers were only
bidding 21ed5c higher, but the market soon
became generally DC higher than yesterday
and the bulk of the hogs that were offered
In the morning sold that way. The heavy
hogs are now selling to the best advantage
heavyweights going as high as $6lIh and
s6.20. The butcher weights sold mostly at
S6.l2z and the lightweights from that down.
1t was a fairly active market and all the
hogs that arrived early in the day changed
hands freely. Trains kept arriving all day,
though, so that the market did not come
to a close until a late hour. Representa-
tive sales.
