to be no limit to the strength of the lead

In this market predict that the extent Of the
advancing market has not yet been reached,
and that there may be further gains during
the week TO come. Creamery extras are now
quoted at 31c-the highest price ever known
at this season and 10c higher than a year
ago. Packing stock, usually the lowest item
on the list, Is selling at 24c-an advance OF
100 per cent over a year ago. A number Of
conditions are productive of the strength in
the market to-day. Chief among these may
be mentioned the spring drought, which has
prevented the growth Of green feed and has
held milk production down to low point
much lower than usually prevails in mid
winter This Is evident from the fact that

NOT DUE TO TRUST
Conditions Justify the Higher
Prices for Meats.
so SAYS ALLERTON THE PACKER
Exorbitnnt Figures Considering
the Supply and Demand
Situation.

Chicago, April 19.-Samuel w. Allerton, the
millionaire packer, resents the statement that
meat prices have been advanced by the beef
trust. In an interview in the Drovers Jour
nal Mr.. Allerton says: There never was
anything easier to explain. 1t is simply the
natural law .: supply and demand. People
seem to forget that this country has popu-
lation of nearly 100000 meat eaters. In
1853 | have seen the market badly glutted
With 1000 head in a week at the few marke.
points then III existence. Now over lU0,0)0
Cattle are slaughtered each week and still
the demand Is not satisfied. The fact is PLAN
that the meat eaters have increased faster
than the cutie were produced, and that is
lust where the shoe pinches now. Industrlc!
conditions are healthy and the laboring people
are in better shape to buy meat than they
have been in many years. This state Of affairs
has tappt ned to come when the supply OF
cattle is 1T lew tide, and so from perfectly
naturally causes we see prices Of live stock
tbs highest in twenty years. 1t is ridiculous
to ELAINE the at;vance in meats on the d: !ssed
beet men. Nobody regrets to see prices ad-
vance more than the slaughterers, for how
ever high it may be the advance is not in
proportion to the advance in the cost OF the
cattle on the hoof. How long will prices
remain high? Well, that of course will de-
pend on circumstances. A good corn crop
would have the effect Of bringing values down
some, but l believe that as long as industrial
conditions are good and everybody Is at work
cattle will continue to sell high. It's the
demand which regulates the price and nothing
else. The supply of cattle in the country Is
far behind the consumptve demand, and it
will, in my opinion, take some time to catch
up Farmers in Illinois and adjoining states
cannot afford to raise as many cattle as they
once did, because the land Is too valuable. "

HOPES OF THE BREWERS
Manager CIinsman Expects Team to

Manager Clingman Expects Team to
Be Near Top.
Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, April 19.-Manager William
Clingman, who will pilot the Milwaukee
American association brewers this year,
says he is now ready for the opening Of
the season, the players having all re-
ported and demonstrated to his satisfao-
tion that they are all right for the COM
pany they will be in. Manager Clingman
says the prospects for successful season
were never better from playing stand
point, and he feels that the brewers will
be able to give good account of them
selves the entire season. He says he does
not look for pennant, but he feels that
he will be in the first division along with
Indianapolis, Louisville and Columbus,
not forgetting Kansas City, despite the
assertions of some of the headless play
ers. Manager Clingman says he cannot
give an opinion in regard to st. Paul and
Minneapolis, as he has had no opportunity
Of sizing their teams up.
The showing the brewers made against
the Cincinnati reds has proved conclu-
sively that they are not to be sneeZed at.
Manager McPhee of the Cincinnati team
stated after the series Of games, which
the brewers won, that Clingman had as
fine a team as most of the clubs in the
National league.
The brewers will line up at Indianapolis
for the opening games as follows:
Catcher Speer; pitcher. Elliott or Alt
rock; first base, DUNCAN; second base,
Thiel third base, McAndrews; shortstop
Clingman; left field, Geyer; center field
Mcbride; right field, Hallman; subs, Nc
Bride and Parrott.

SPORTS
MANY MEETS At "U'
Freshman-Sophomore Contests At
tract Interest Now.
HANDSOME BANNER THE PRIZE
''Interfrat" Meet May Be Arranged
for Banner Made by
-SOrOrities.

In the first week considerable progress
has been made by the track athletes and
greater number of men are in training
than ever before. The track itself is be-
ing rapidly gotten into first-class condi-
tion and by the middle OF May should
be an excellent one.
The large number of meets which are
to be held this spring has excited the
interest and enthusiasm which is neces-
'sary to build up track athletics at the
university
The members of the freshman and
sophomore classes, between whom the
rivalry this year Is particularly keen; are
showing great enterprise and enthusiasm
in getting out their entire forces, in order
to strive for tho banner in the freshman
versus sophomore dual meet. The banner
which is to be handsome one, will be
placed permanently in the trophy case.
The name of the winner of each event
will be placed upon the banner as per-
manent record of his performance. In
summing up points to decide which class
wins, first place will count five, second
place three, and third place one, al
though the actual winner in each event
will have his name inscribed On the
trophy. In this contest the tWo-mile
race will not be included in the program,
but all the Observation-Disclosures events,
including the relay race, will appear. The
date of this contest is April 80.
The regular university sports, open to
all men in the university, will be held on
Saturday, May g. The results in these
games will determine largely the men who
are to be sent down to Iowa CITY 20
represent Minnesota in the dual game
with Iowa, May 9.
The date agreed uopn for the dual
meet with Wisconsin is May II, but there
is some prospect that this may pc
changed to May o. The management at
the present time is also seriously consld-
erinq the ACCESSIBILITY of introducing an
interfraternity meet on May Ii or II, IN
case the Wisconsin meet is postponed. IL
is thought that the girls in the sororltles
would be willing to make SILK banner
for which the fraternities should competS =
and the occasion be made quite a socla'
event. If this is done, the usual program
will be slightly modified. The events
which will be on the program will be the
100 Yards, the 22O yards, the LOCO yards

Paine's Celery
Cozrllpouu
Permanently Cures All the
Varied Forms Of
Rheumatism.
1t Purifies the Blood and Re-
moves Every Trace Of
Poisonous Acid.
The Great Medicine Has Cured More
Rheumatic Sud6res Than All
Other Combined Remedies,

Sufferers from the varied forms Of rheu-
metism-articular, muscular, inflamma-
tory, lumbago, and govt, should bear in
mind that there is a morbid principle in
the blood when rheumatism is present.
This morbid principle is uric acid, which
circulates with the blood and acts upon
the joints and muscles, causing the pains
and agonies of rheumatism. Paine's
Celery Compound is the only scientific
remedy for the permanent Punishment Of
every form OF rheumatism. If your joints
are painful; If the knees, wrists, elbows,
or ankles are swollen, a few battles of
Paine's Celery Compound will soon re-
move all your troubles and pains If you
have inf1ammatory or sciatic rheumatism
accompanied with fever, acute, darling
pains in the sciatic nerve from the hip
down the leg, Paine's Celery Compound
taken at once will soon drive out the
disease and make you strong and active.
At this particular time when rheuma-
tism frequently lays the foundation for
other incurable and grave troubles. we
specially urge the honest use Of at least
one bottle of DR.. Phelps life giving
medicine, Paine's Celery Compound. No
case is too complicated or difficult for this
king of medicines. Thousands of happy
and grateful men and women sing its
praises and continually recommend it. It
is the only medicine that can rescue peo-
pie from agony and death after physi-
clans pronounce them incurable. Mrs.
Louisa Rix, Wesley, Iowa, says:
Some time ago my husband was taken
down with inflammatory rheumatism, SO
that he was unable to get out of bed
alone or to dress himself. We employed
good doctors and used many kinds Of
medicines, but with no relief. We finally
sent for bottle of Paine's Celery Com
pound, and before he had finished it, he
was able to be at work. Another bottle
entirely cured him..

BUSINESS SATISFACTORY
Spring Activity Accelerates Retail
Trade and Manufactures.

Trade ana manufactures.
New York. April 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
Weather conditions have been potent for
ton was greatly accelerated, which, in turn,
enlarged jobbing trade and brought more
pressure on manufacturers for prompt ship
ment; agricultural work is facilitated and
building operations made rapid progress; traf-
ic increased at the interior as the condition
of country roads improved, which made col
lectons better Some labor controversies
were settled and others were averted.
Complaints are still heard regarding tardy
deliveries, but freight Is less congested and
business has increased, railway earnings for
April thus far having increased 60 per cent
over last year and 1863 per cent over 1900
Quotations of iron and steel cannot yet be
considered inflated, but the market Is follow
ing natural course, despite the efforts of
leading interests to maintain conservative
position Pressure for pig iron is very great.
but furnace men have contracted for their
output far into the future and consumers
who want prompt delivery are willing to pay
premiums.
Similarly as to steel rails, the regular price
of S28 has become nominal on current bust
ness an advance of S. ton being readily paid
for immediate delivery. This is especlally
noticeable ON urgent trolly construction.
Specifications for new buildings promise album
dant additional contracts for structural ma
teral, while some mills have already sold
their entire output for 1902 Machinery and
hardware lines share in the exceptional ac-
tivity and are doing a brisk export business
in spite of high prices
Wooden goods are in less urgent demand,
purchasers having secured most Of the cloth
which the American company was unable to
furnish owing to the strike. Buying of dress
goods has decreased and jobbers are beginning
to go out with fall lines 80. ~
Grain and meats have continued very
strong There was some logical explanation
of the advance in corn, interior receipts fall
ing to S57, 500 bushels for the week, while
Atlantic ports rose to 3S4, 600 bushels, an un-
usually large total for recent times, although
small by comparison with the corresponding
week in the preceding years. Wheat was
sustained by exports from all ports of 4,485,-
| 352 bushels, flour included, against 4,613,S 91
| bushels year ago.
| Sugar and coffee have been notably weak
| the latter falling to within a sixteenth Of the
| bottom record
! Failures for the week numbered 261 in the
! United States, against 206 last year, and q
! in Canada against q a year ago.

STEEL PRICES UP
Important Bearing On the Question
of Steel Rail Supply.

New York, April 19-Structural steel
manufacturers have advanced prices for
immediate delivery so to IS ton over
quotations recently current, says the
Journal of Commerce and the supply of
steel billets throughout the country is so
small that manufacturers are still COM
PEELED to so abroad to purchase supplies
for their mills. There is no famine as
yet, although prevailing conditions. it is
reported, make an approximation to it.
The scarcity of material is particularly
felt by small manufacturers although the
United States Steel Corporation also
feels the lack of a necessary supply Of
billets.
The situation has a particular bearing
on the question Of steel rail supply. 1t
Is stated that the wants Of the railroads
will necessitate a much larger importa-
tion of rails this year than for some
years past The rail pool shows no in
tention at present of advancing prices.
