No Poetry I'm Cattle Business.
New York Tribune.

THE cattle business does not offer op-
portunities for poets now. said a sun
burned Westerner TO his Wall-street friend
the other day The two men were taking
luncheon together at a downtown restau-
rant. and as the waiter spread the cloth
the city man remarked:
What could a poet ever do out in your
wild West. except be tenderfoot and an
eask mark, as we say nowadaysg'
We'll, what / meant was that ranching
is not such a romantic and picturesque
business now as some writer's paint it."
was the reply There was a time. before
/ was baldheaded, about thirty years ago
or perhaps less, when the cattlemen had
no fences to their pasture grounds. They
simply branded their cattle. and once a
year they went out and rounded them up
Each man then singled out the cattle OF
his mark, and then came a long drive to
the railroad. These early ranchers thought
that they owned the prairies by divine
right.
Hundreds of thousands of emigrants came
pouring in, the great majority of whom
were from Scandinavian countries. The
opening up OF the Indian lands OF Okla
homa and its division into smaller farms
took away many a hundred square miles
from the old pasture lands. At the present
time a cattle raiser must fence in his prom
erty, own IL or lease IL, and by irrigation
get as much vegetation out of IL as pos
sible His cattle are carried away from
his barns by express trains. in refrgerating
cars and everything is systematized as in
a department store
well, / shouldn't think poet could get
very fervid over refrigerated beef" was
the answer, as the Wall-street man drank a
glass OF iced spring water.

Holiday Goods and Eatables Are Ex-

kets Are Quiet but Strong.

In lines other than those of eatables and
holiday stock business in the week ended
on Saturday was dull. Three rainy days
were influential to dullness. but In the way
of groceries, provisions and produce trade
was good and promises to be so for some
days to come. The prduce market is very
active. Poultry sells well and the supply Is
light. demand considered. Butter. eggs and
cheese are moving readily at unchanged
prices. The bright spot in the egg market
is that pullets have begun laying, and
few days OF open weather would increase
receipts perceptibly. Hog products are fast
movers In a domestic way, but are ruling so
high as to curtail export trade. shipments
not being more than one-half as heavy as
usual in December. Confectioners never did
as large a business as this season, and
are working overtime to fill orders. The
weather has been so stormy OF late that 1t
has given new life to the boot and shoe
trade. Leather is quite active. while hides
are lower than last month. Trade with the
iron and hardware houses continues active
at unchanged prices. Druggists report
business as more quiet. but this Is to be
locked for this month Commission houses
had a fair week. Stocks held are large.
Prices are high on fruits. and they do not
move actively as they should to make
business good.

WHEAT RELATIVELY FIRM
DECEMBER Is UNCHANGED AND MAY
SOMEWHAT HIGHER.
Corn and Oats show Fractional Losses
Provisions Unchanged to a Little
Higher at the Close.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Buliish news caused
frmness in wheat to-day although the
close was at about steady prices. with
May &c higher; corn was AQ9sc lower,
and oats off &c. Provisions closed un-
changed to 21zc higher
Reports of rains in Argentina, which
have caused much delay in the harvest
ing OF the wheat crop there, were the
chief factors in the situation. although
Liverpool cables were also of a bullish
character. The volume of business was
light. The opening on May was from
shade to bQAc higher at IT'S to 71ac, and
on quite general buying, with light offer
ings. there was an advance to 777sc. Later,
on liquidation. May declined to 77asc, clos
ing sc higher at T9s@T1zc- December
closed unchanged at 75Ac. Clearances OF
wheat and -four were equal to $4,000 blu.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bu, against
$4,000 year ago. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported receipts Of sos cars, which,
with local receipts of II cars-2S Of contract
grade-made a total of 579 cars. against $50
last week and 504 a year ago.
The action of December corn was the
main feature in that pit, there being more
business in that delivery than for some
time past. The opening was 1sc lower at
574c. but a sharp advance to 5S1sc &C.
CURED early in the day, which brought out
considerable liquidation, and there was a
sudden decline to 55%c, but on the break
the offerings were well taken, most Of
which was said to be for the account Of a
st. Louis pool. The close was &c lower,
at 561ac. In May the trade was narrow and
OF local character, higher cables i'm
parting some strength at the opening,
which was unchanged to hc higher. The
close was AQ%c lower at 3a.Q43isc, after
ranging between 1870 and 44$sc. Receipts
were 223 cars, six of contract grade.
oats were inclined toward a lower plane,
owing to considerable realizing and selling
supposed to be against increased country
purchases Of cash. Fluctuations were
within a narrow range, May selling be-
tween 531sc and 3311c, closing Ac lower at
$40. Receipts were 156 cars.
Provisions showed good recovery from
the recent slump, and the market was
strong on small receipts OF hogs and high
er prices at the yards. There was little
advance early in the day the situation
and expectations of smaller receipts next
week, but prices eased off again, and the
close was steady, January pork being 2lAc
higher at $780, lard unchanged at $40 and
ribs up 21zc at 1886
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
90 cars; corn, $40; oats, $50; hogs, 1900

THE LIVE STOCK MARKETS
CATTLE VALUES TOUCH THE LOWEST
POINT OF THE SEASON.
Hogs in Moderate Demand and About
Ten Cents LOwer-Sheep Quiet
Condition of Other Markets.

UNION sTocKYARDs. INDIANAPOLIS. Dec.
MISUNDERSTANDING. $50; shipments smafl. The
combined receipts of cattle this week indicate
a decrease Of about LOO compared with last
week and the same week year ago, and only
about 200 compared with the corresponding
week two years ago. Thus far this year the re-
ceipts are $500 larger than the same period last
year. and for the month thus far there is an
increase Of nearly 200 compared with the same
period last year. 1t is hardly necessary TO re-
peat that the market this week, from the seller S
point Of view. has been the most unsatisfactory
of the season. This condition not the result
OF excessive supplies here, but certain other
markets were glutted. which caused a reaction In
prices, and of course. this naturally had
weakening influence here. 1t not only
caused local houses to be particular
in their selections, but IL affected the de-
mand from outside sources considerably. An
other weakening factor was the small per-
centage of strictly choice cattle in the arri-
walls. OF course, IL is generally understood that
at this of the year there is smaller re-
quirements for the cheaper grades while thick,
fat cattle Of fancy quality have the preference
to supply the Christmas trade. The downward
movement in prices began early in the week.
especially in the steer department, and there was
hardly day that tuyers did not make further
account of the small number marketed. did not
show much change until the latter part OF the
week. but finally all kinds were selling at the
lowest prices Of the season. AS usual under
such conditions, prices were very irregular and
it was. indeed. very difficult to make esti-
mate of the market that conformed with the
ideas of all dealers. but at the close Of the week
1t generally conceded that fat steers had
lost from 35c to SOC and females from 10c to 25c
per 100 lbs compared with prices prevailing at the
close Of last week. In sympathy with the market
for fat CATTLE stockers and feeders also sold
weaker but the best kinds were not great
deal lower. 1t is possible that the sharp de-
cline In values this week will cause smaller
there is some hope for a steadier tendency In the
market but it is hardly expected that there
will be any liberal demand for such cattle as
represent the bulk Of the consignments at this
time. The highest prices paid this week were
$3.50 for steers s. for hefers and $425 for COWS.
but there were comparatively few steers sold
above S. or heifers cows above 81. There were
not many fresh arrivals to-day, but few car
ried over from yesterday made the supply about
large expected at this time in the week.
