South st. Paul. Oct 1S.-Cattle re-
ceipts this week show a heavy falling off
compared with last week. The total for
the week is estimated at $500 head
against 5000 head last week and 1000
head for the corresponding week a year
ago: Calf receipts will total only about
$50 head for the week against 1,050 head
last week and 800 head for the same week
last year. Western butcher cattle are SELL
ing steady with last week. Good quality
native killing steers are also steady but
common native steers and all COWS are
weak. to 10 cents lower. The sales of
butcher cattle included one load of fancy
western steers which sold at 1925, the
top price of the year. .. Aside from this
one load and few western COWS at 81
the stuff has been almost entirely common
in quality, Bulls and veals steady The
light run has been the means Of bringing
the, ,stocker and feeder trade out Of the
rut. The demand has not been heavy but
it has been more than sufficient to take
care Of all the cattle put on sale that
showed any quality at all and prices have
ruled 1925 cents higher than last week
on the good kinds. Common cattle show
but little improvement in prices but the
movement has been better Choice mich
| COWS steady, others 1903 lower than last
week..
| Hog receipts this week will total about
$500 against 10000 last week and 1890
for the same week last year. Receipts
| nave not come up to expectations this
! week. Compared with a year ago there is
big shortage at all points and prices,
which :slumped badly last week, are show
| ing quite a little improvement this week.
4 About one-half of last weeks loss has
been regained: A3smal percentage of the
receipts this week have been young hogs
part Of the new crop, but, from present in
d1cations, it will be two or three weeks yet
! before there will be any large shipment Of
| young hogs.
| Sheep receipts, with a normal run to-
day, will total about $4,000 head for the
week against $4,000 head last week ant
1880 head for the corresponding week 6
year ago. A large part of the stuff this
week has been westerns and but a very
small percentage of killing stuff has beer
included. Native killing stuff has beer
very scarce. Prices are ~25@40 cent!
! higher on lambs and 1O@15> cents highe
on sheep. Stock and feedstuff, unless
i good, is selling slow at low prices.

this city there are all sorts of good indi-
cations of Oil There are number OF
springs tnat show oil. In some of them
there is so much oil that stock will not
touch the water on which it floats. All
over this section similar indications ex-
ist, and the EXAMINER believes that all
that is necessary to produce second
Texas Beaumont out of our town, is the
sinking of a we'll. Some of our citizens
believe 80 strongly in this idea that a
company has been formed to sink well
on the bench land southeast of town.
Another company of local and outside
gentlemen are arranging to sink we'll
up Montpelier canyon.
The lioneer is the name of the COM
pany that will put down we'll on the
bench and to do this they have placed a
block of stock on the market at a low
price. All the proceeds from this stock
will be used to sink this well. IF they
strike oil there will be a fortune in
hand for all who are in. The company
has 5000 acres located, and if there is
oil under one acre there is oil under the
whole country.
Those who are interested in seeing
the country prospected and developed
now have chance of assisting by taking
small block of stock. 1t would not be
much loss individually if nothing is
struck, while. if Oil is found individuals
and the country generally will be great
gamer.
