AT the MorreII Plant.

Al the MorreIl Plant.
Receipts of hogs at the Morrell
plant show decided advance for the
week. 1900 hogs have been received
during the past seven days, as against
4,SOO last week, a gain of $500 in the
number purchased. This is partly
due to the fact that prices are on the
decline, having dropped fifteen cents
during the week Now that a plenti-
full crop is assured and feed is begin
ming to show decline in price, it is
thought that more porlers will be pur-
chased, and that the receipts will
again come up to the averages given
before prices started soaring heaven

store conducted by Jonas Sax, located
on East Main street. The grand jury
adjourned late yesterday afternoon for

Gully that he sold farm wa on valued
at $55 and on which there was a chat
tel mortgage to S. Bartlett of Musca-
tine, for $43. McCully then is said to
have disposed of the mortgaged prop
erty, thus making himself liable to the
charge of larceny. He is in Jail at
Muscatine and will be brought to OF
tumwa tomorrow by Sheriff Cremer.

are summarized in the following statement:
The amount of cotton brought forward on
September l. 1901, SIS 900 bales and 1888 100
bales of the crop Of 1902-O3 were marketed prior
to the first of September. There also entered

and 67572 bales made up Of same and waste

This latter. will readily be understood, Is
counted twice. being taken from bales already
counted in the commercial movement. With
regard to linters the report says that the
enormous growth Of the seed crushing indus
try has resulted In an important addition 10

which results from the use of improved ma
chinery contributing TO the annual crop an
item that can no longer be ignored. An equal
ly exhaustive investigation shows that the total
purchase of cotton by southern mills during
the year ending August 81, 1902, amounted TO
ISL $50 bales.

New Orleans Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. zs.-Liverpool today
reported spots two points lower and deliveries
a shade higher, which to the casual observer
signihed nothing more than a reluctance on
the part OF foreign traders to commit them
selves extensively to either side OF the market
while so much uncertainty existed to the
effect that the approaching bureau will exert.
In fact this same consideration served to
tablsh quiet tone in American markets, and
the absence of a definite tendency mani
tested by the narrow range Of fluctuations.
Trading consisted chiefly of the usual half
holiday covering, but prices held rather steady.
Closing quotations are about two points lower
than yesterday. Until the agricultural bureau
has presented its estimate Of the crop. the
market is not likely to move theoretically in
any direction. Some traders fear that the
cent criticism of the bureaus report may cause
a more liberal allowance by that department
for exaggeration Of crop damage in computing
its statement of the total yield, in which
event values are expected to receive blow of
more or less severity. Meanwhile the decline
in the value of silver is exercising an I'M
favorable effect trade with China, and
seriously interferes with the volume of bust
ness in cotton goods with that country, but
such matter will seek adjustment through the
force OF necessity, and 1t may not be wise
to lay too much stress upon immediate condi-
lions in the celestial empire. Taking every
thing into account, however, rather in
cline to the view that idleness will be the
best policy for those not at present commit
ted to the market until the bureau has spent

LACK OF A QUORUM
DID NOT STOP BUSINESS

With not more than fifty members pres
ent. some thirty-eight less than consti-
tutional quorum, the house Saturday af-
ternoon passed twenty-five bills, had read
for the second time numerous senate and
house bills. and had read for the first
time many new bills.
The call of the roll for the afternoon ses-
sion was dispensed with, and it was i'm
possible to get an accurate list of the
members present and the members absent.
Business was transacted, however, and
all local bills which were ready for pass
age were passed, and all bills ready for
the second reading we're read and re-
ferred to the committees.
In the session, which lasted scarcely two
hours, a great deal was done, and now
the calanders of the house are clear, with
the exception of general measures and
local bills which were introduced Satur'
day afternoon.
Very little interest was taken in the
proceedings by those present, except
when two dispensary measures came up.
AS a quorum was not present and as two
members voted against the bill. it was
necessary to table them for little while.
The authors of the bills, however, pre-
vailed upon the members who voted
against them not to vote at all, and the
bills were again brought from the table,
passed by the house by a vote of IS to 0,
so the speaker announced.
Wants Sundays Dies Non.
Mr. Dugan, OF Randolph, introduced a
resolution providing that Sundays should
be declared dies non hereafter, and not
counted in the legislative session.
The resolution was referred to the COM
