TEA IMPORTATION. !!
Some Interesting Facts Concernjna
Its Consumption in This Country.
After the Placing Of . Duty On This
Article i'm 1908, There YVES q
Falling on in the lmr
D0FtatiOns.

Considerable interest is felt as to
the effect which the removal of the
tea import duties will have upon the
consumption of that article in the
United States. The import figures
covering the period since the imposi-
ton of an import duty upon tes
(June ID. 1889 do not justify the as
sertion frequently made some years
since that small tax would increase
the consumption of tea by insuring
better qualities. The average annual
importation of tea since the enact
ment of the law which placed duty
upon tea has been but about s3,OOO,-
600 pounds. while the average during
the preceding three years was about
9S,OOO,0oO pounds per annum. The to-
tai importation of tea in the three
fiscal years following June 80, 1898,
was 24S,74l.459 pounds. and in the
three fiscal years Immediately preced-
ing that date was 27S.3O3.262 pounds.
Deducting the amount reexported, the
net imports stand: For the three
years following June 80, 1898, 244, 64O,-
o47 pounds; for the three years i'm
mediately preceding June 30, 1898,
273,945,O91 pounds. This gives an
average importation for consumption
during those two periods of over ~
pounds per capita per annum in the
three-year period to June 30, 1898.
and but little over one pound per
capita in the three-year period fol.
lowing that date.
This reduction in the Importation
OF tea since the imposition of the GUS
toms duty upon that article has been
accompanied by corresponding in
crease in the importation of coffee.
IN the three years following June 30.
1878, the total importation of coffee
was 2.474.690.2s4 pounds, against
2'lss'75s,O4O pounds in the three years
Immediately preceding that date; and
the per capita imports for consump-
ton for the latter three years aver
aged 1914 pounds per annum, COM
pared with 90 pounds for the three
years prior to June 30, 1898. It is
proper to add, however, that during
the three years since 1898 prices of
coffee have been much lower than
those OF the immediately preceding
period, the average import price per
pound, as shown by the figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics since
the fiscal year 1898 having averaged
OF cents per pound. against an aver
age of II cents for the three years
Immediately preceding 1898; while in
the case of tea the import price per
pound, exclusive of course of duties.

STORM CAUSES Loss.
Busby { Kirby Said to be the Prir-
cipal Sufferers.

A Billings dispatch to the Montana
Record under date of May 20, says:
The cold, soaking rain that fell in
this section of the state yesterday and
last night, while godsend to the
ranges, was the cause of much loss to
cattlemen who have been receiving
Southern cattle here for the past week.
A cattleman who has just returned
from a visit to his herd, which was
started Monday, stated to the Record
this evening that he knew that he was
not exaggerating when he said not less
than 1000 of dead two-year-olds lined
the roads and plains within distance
of six miles from Billings, northeast.
One man alone reported his loss to
be not less than 600 head. The great
est loss fell on what are known as the
Busby & Kirby herds which were
started out of here yesterday morning.
The herd was composed of about 5000
head and belonged to number of small
rangers Big Dry head, although bought
in the name of Busby & Kirby. The
cattle were from Mexico and were
branded and divided into individual
lots before starting out, but were
driven out as one herd. The men en-
deavored to hold the herd during the
night. They were chilled through,
weak from the long trip and subse-
quent branding and could not stand
punching.
Harring, the man who lost number
of cattle in the Burlington wreck in
Nebraska, who started to drive out
last evening, also lost a number last
night, and L. w. Stacey, whose range
is in Custer county, lost several hun
dred.
Owners who allowed their cattle to
take their own course throughout the
entire night had small losses. The
cattle lost are estimated to have been
worth $50 a head.

The top level of the season in beef
cattle was reached in the Chicago
market last Wednesday. when the
best steers brought $7.6O and several
lots sold at $3.50 and $7.55. High
prices have failed to stimulate the
movement of cattle to market and it
becomes more and more apparent from
day to day that the supply of market
able cattle in feed lots is the shortest
seen in this country for many years,
says the Chicago Live Stock World
The estimate of $4,000 for today,
while slightly in excess of number
here one week ago, was 5000 less than
record for the corresponding We,lnes-
day last year. But on the week to
date there is an apparent increase of
r., 900 over last week, though the total
of 80, 900 is still 5000 less than number
received for the same time last year.

Ready Branding Iron.

Until very recently if man talked
of branding cattle without fire to
heat the branding iron, he would at
once have been denounced as the rank
est kind of tenderfoot. Now, how
ever, the irresistible march of progress
has brought forth the fireless brand
ing iron. There are no stops to let the
iron get hot, but it is always loaded
and ready for business.
DIR. M. E. Knowles, state veterinar-
lar, has received from Denver a pair
of branding irons, one for horses and
cattle, the other for sheep. The i'm
plement has receptacle for gasoline,
holding enough to run the iron for
three hours, during which time a fairly
active brander would leave his mark
on about 300 head of sheep. The state
veterinarian is required to put the
letter S on all sheep infected with
scab and it was for this purpose the
brand was secured. Cattle suffering
from tuberculosis are also subject to
the veterinarians branding iron. The
branding iron is provided with an air
pump which forces the gasoline flame
into the brand, and keeps it in red hot
condition, always ready for use.

The attention of DR.. M. E. Knowles.
state veterinarian, has been called to
the fact that buyers in eastern markets
have been discriminating against Mon
tana horses. The statement has been
made in some circles that western
horses are suffering to large extent
with CHAMBERS, and for that rea.
son they are class of stock not to be
desired. DR.. Knowles says that the
contrary is true, and that there are
fewer cases of that disease in Montana
than in any other state in the union,
considering the number of horses.

The table shows that business thus
far this year has been quieter than for
the corresponding period of any previ-
GUS year, except one, since 1896. 1t
will be noted that the sales so far this
year are very close to those of the COR
responding time in 1900, but in the
latter year the price of fine medium
territory clean basis declined from
$4,000 to 12@55c from January to
May IS, but this year the prices have
been practically the same on those two
dates, fine medium territory, which is
now quoted at 42H case, being quoted
at the beginning of the year at 43@45c
Probably never in the history of the
trade has such a long continued period
of dizziness been characterized by so
little qariation in prices, which, it is
needless to say, has reflected the in
herent strength of the situation.

STIFF PRICES BEING PAID.
Demand for Wool in the West is Good
improvement Anticipated.

Reviewing the wool market for the
past week, the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter says:
The attention of the trade in terri
tories continues to be largely directed
toward the interior, and no special
effort is being made at this end to
push business. There has been a little
more looking around on the part of
consumers and some houses report
that they have been able to consum-
mate little more business, but the
volume of trade is not heavy bv anv
means and the inquiry is generally for
only moderate sized lots. A few siz-
able lines have been moved, however,
at mostly unchanged prices. Fine
medium clothing has sold at 42H 045c,
clean; fine at 46@48c. Fine staple is
scarce and quoted nominally at Asa SOC.
Medium woods are quotable at 4Oc,
clean, and some sales have been made
at that price. Holders of territories
are looking for higher prices later in
the season, but makers of goods say
that in order to sell lightweight goods
at last years prices, they must buy
the new woods at 43@45c, clean.
Representatives of the eastern trade
are operating quite generally through
the territories now, except Montana
and Oregon, where shearing has not
yet begun in large way. In Utah
Nevada, Wyoming sales continue to be
reported at prices ranging from 12H
to 13c. The old woods now remaining
on the market are very cheap as COM
pared with many of the new wools
which have thus far been bought in
territories. Among the sales in the
local market were $4,000 pounds of
fine medium Dakota at 42c, and 100,
600 pounds fine medium territory at
42@H45c.
Sales for the week. at Boston, 2,942,
900 bales.
The new woods from the territories
continue to come in and the available
stock here is now increasing. Sales of
the past week include both new and
old woods, some of the former having
been disposed of, it is claimed, at
some loss to the seller, including pre-
sumably the early Arizona purchases.
Stiff prices continue to be paid, never
theless, for the new wools in the ter
ritories and sales have been made in
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Texas at
top rates. More or less wool is being
taken everywhere, although on the
whole the situation in the country is
quieter. Utahs have been taken at
12@l3c from the growers and Idahos
and Wyomings at liz @12c.
The wool market has passed through
a very dull period since the beginning
of February, with only slight spurts of
activity to vary the monotonous quiet
ness which has prevailed the trade.
AS indicative of the falling off in BUSH
ness as compared with that of a few
previous years, the following table is
showing the amount of wool
sold from January 1 to May IS in the
years indicated:

Convicted of Crime. However.
There are many who believe the
Diamond Queen" is insane and there
are strong points in support of this
theory. Her actions in many respects
are those Of an irresponsible woman
and she may never be convicted of the
crime for which she is under arrest.
1t is probable that all of the stolen

Of the grand jury. At the request of
representative of the Morning News,
DR.. w. f. Drummer called on her last
night and talked with her. He is of
the opinion that she is not addicted to
the use of narcotics. From a single
examination he would not say that she
is denented.
Mr. Thonnesen is certain that Miss
DeCris is insane, however, and others
who have seen great deal of her
think likewise. Mr.. Thonnesen recalls
that while with him the young vo-
man was absent-mnded, and that il
was daily occurrence for her to forget
to attend to important business mat
tiers. He recalled these peculiarities
when told that she could not remem-

An effort will most likely be made,
to have the prosecution dropped so
that an opportunity can be given the
unfortunate young woman to leave the
city and begin life anew; that is if
she is not insane.
