Hides, Pelts, TallOvv and Wool.

Review Of hide market by Northwestern
Hide and Fur company:
The hide market continues strong at the re-
cent advance, notwithstanding receipts are
larger, owing to increased kill of cattle to
supply the extra harvest hands, more being
needed by farmers than the average of other
years.
Wool continues strong since the season
opened, is DC per lb higher. Wool growers
are much encouraged at the good prices now
being realized Sheep pelts are in good de-
Tallow IS Nc lower, as more fat cattle are
coming to market. o.. - - s..

GOOD CATTLE TRADE
A Week Of Heavy Receipts at South
~ St. Paul.
SOME DECLINES ALL AROUND
But the General Market Firmer
Than Chicago and Other
Points. .--

South st. Paul, Aug. 16-Cattle receipts
this week, owing to heavy western shipments,
show big gain over last week and the cor
responding week a year ago. The total for
this week is about 5000 head, against 1900
head last week and 1900 head last year. Calf
receipts are nearly double last week, but fall
below the same period year ago. The total
for this week is about 300 head. against 165
last week and 450 year. ago. Nearly
half OF the cattle received came in on Mon
day, and only part were on sale. Another
large shipment was received from the west to-
day. Aside from Monday and to- day, receipts
have been unusually light and this has held
the butcher cattle market up to a high point,
while other markets have been reporting
heavy declines. The most radical bears on
the market do not quote prices more than
10015c lower than last week, while a major
ity OF the statesmen are reporting the market
very close to steady, while Chicago has gone
off 10000 on westerns and 2o@+0c on COW
stuff Bulls are weak. Veals are in excellent
demand and selling strong. Good quality
stock and feeding cattle are 10@1oc higher
than last week and are finding quick outlet
| at the advance. Common to fair stuff is also
moving at steady prices, and the close of the
week finds the yards we'll cleared Mich
COWS continue firm and active.
| Hog receipts for the week will total about
4,50O, against 3,400 last week and 400 year
ago. There has been a drop of 10@l5c almost
| every day this week, and to-day finds the
| market fat 50c lower than last Saturday
and about $1.3o91. 40 under the high time.
The bottom has not been reached, in the opin-
ion OF the hog salesmen and no one cares to
predict where the present slump will stop.
See market report for to-day's business.
Sheep receipts have teen heavy this week
about 5000 head. against 5000 last week and
$500 for the corresponding week a year ago.
Only part of the stuff received has been put
on sale, and, during the last few days, there
has been shortage in lambs. Prices or
lambs are 25@50c higher than last week
Sheep about steady. Stock and feeding

Immediately after the vote was an

Election returns were received at
the Opinion Office Tuesday evening
over the New England telephone and
then sent to several of the nearby
towns via the local telephone. Re-
turns came in slow and it was II or
II O'Clock before anything very def
mite concerning the general result
was received, and then it was quite
certain there would be no election
by the people.

Editor, in renewing his subscription,
will be of interest to the formers
friends in this place: 81 intended
to have visited Bradford with my
family this season, as some time has
elapsed since we had that pleasure.
Our four months annual outing has
been spent variously throughout the
country not convenient to Bradford.
Since leaving New York for the
mountains we have changed our
itinerary, materially directed from
Vermont, and shall probably spend
September and perhaps longer, de-
termined by the weather conditions,
travelling throughout the provinces,
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, New
etc., returning to the
States homeward as we are accus-
toned in the late autumn.

the ~storehouse at Topeka has been
billing out from $4,000 to 10000 stakes
for the new parts of the system. Even
at that rate it has been impossible for
the mill men to keep up with the or.
ders of this kind, and it will be some
time before they can furnish all that
are demanded.

SANTA IMPROVEMENTS.
Large Appropriations Made for Texas
Line Betterments.

A dispatch from Chicago states that
the expenditures authorized by the
Santa Fe for betterments this year are
larger than eve before. 1t is notica-
BILE, however, hat these expenditures
are all in the way of increasing the
earning power of its lines and not for
frills.
Among the work to be done is the
laying of 1875 miles of new 75-pound
steel rails on the Texas line. Thirty
steel bridges on the same line are
to be replaced by larger and stronger
types, to provide for the heavier loco
motives and long trains.
A large section of the Texas lines
are to be equipped for burning fuel oil
from the Beaumont fields. This in
wolves the erection of a number of i'm
mense steel storage tanks, and the in
stallation of minor supply plants from
which the locomotives will take the
oil. OF the recent purchase of locomo-
tives, f~ifty-three are to he assigned Tor
service on Texas lines. These are only
samples of similar improvements on
other portions of the system.
