Market Gossip.

"Joe" Callahan, of Sandwich, H., the
we'll known hog authority, says: The
hogs are going out of our section fast,
farmers can't hold them; they are all
out OF corn; we won't have any sum
mer hogs when this run lets up. and
there will be no more hogs until next
winter
Charles Horn has returned from a
ten DAYS trip to northeastern Iowa, and
reports all kinds of stock cattle re-
markedly scarce. Fat cattle are also
scarce. but there Will be n fair supply
o. hogs to come later on. lie says corr
is held at Go cents and very little is
changing hands.
II never saw the proportion of choice
cattle so small" said a prominent buy
eli. There were orders which could not
be filed, tho on the other hand there
were more common ones than Were
needed This is likely to be the rule fol
some time IL stockmen keep economiz-
ing in corn.
William Mount, stock buyer at Ne
koma. H., was here With cattle yester-
day. He says country hog buyers
might MS we'll quit buying until the hog
market settles down TO some satisfao-
tory basis He says farmers want more
than Chicago prices, and in their VI
cinity are very independent, saying
they will keep them If they can not get
Sc at home for them.

sTockERs AND FEEDERS

There Is much uneasiness and uncer-
tainty about stockers and feeders and
the course the market will take in the
future and this condition has, induced
much mental speculation. Some are of
the opinion that in the spring stock cat
tie will be higher than in the past while
others are equally strong in the belief
that they will be lower This divergence
of opinion arises from the fact that
there is nothing whereby the future de-
mand as we'll as movements can be
gagged. In Texas, for instance. there
are those who are anxious to dispose of
their stock now, believing that in the
spring the price will be low. or at least,
lower than at present; while, on the 9th
err hand, there are those strongly dis
posed to hold on to their possessions In
the hope and belief that prices will be
higher. In the spring Texas will have
large numbers of cattle ready to be
shipped northwards. but the question
with Texas shippers is where to send
them. If the sections in the north that
usually took supplies from Texas would
again ask to be supplied. the problem

THE DIRT EATERS.
Customs of Peculiar St. Louis

Customs or Peculiar St. LOUIS
Sect.
A spoonful of sand a day is one of the
habits a peculiar sect that has recently
sprung up in the west. st. Louis boasts
the most striking-a community of dirt
eaters William Windsor, native of
Wisconsin. some time lawyer college
student, student of natural science. Is
their Moses Seventy-iive men and wom-
en- form the community. Dirt eating is
their only aim and object in life so far
as their existence as community Is
concerned They seek to make converts
to their belief and practice, and Head
Dirt Eater Windsor holds forth in
earnest and convincing manner every
night TO his class al his lecture room,
at Eighteenth and Olive streets, in the
old Merchants League building.
The dirt eaters take every day
spoonful OF dirt. They believe that grit
is necessary to every animal, and that
many Of the stomach troubles to which
human flesh ia heir to are due simply
and entirely to the absence of grit in
the stomach. In support of this unique
theory the dirt eaters cite the beasts of
the field, the fowls of the air, and the
serpents which crawl. asserting tri-
umphantly that none of these share
mankinds foolish aversion to good, pure
dirt, and none of them have stomach
troubles. The dirt eaters maintain their
argument is unanswerable.
The dirt eater, declares Leader Wind
sor soon becomes accustomed to his diet
and Graves 1t. The daily allowance of
one teaspoonful is washed down with
half glass of water and the dirt eater
smacks his lips with relish and winks
one eye, in much the same manner as
the Kentucky colonel" does when sip
ping his mint julep or his morning tod
dy.
Mr.. Windsor's disciples are epicurean
in their tastes. They are very particu-
lar as to the kind of dirt they eat This
article of their singular diet is, techni-
cally a sand. 1t comes from the river
bottoms and is made up OF many little
particles of granite, marble, quartz and
flint, we'll rounded with age. The chief
dIrt-eate collects the sand and sterilzes
it: then it is put UP in little bags and
sold to the disciples for 25 cents a bag.

would be solved and prices range high,
but it ia that 'if'' that is proving such
a stumbling block at preesnt and caus-
ing such uncertainty in the minds of the
cuttlemen.
During the last summer and fall, on
account of the drouth, a great deal OF
stock was shipped from Kansas and
Nebraska to Montana the Dakotas and
Wyoming, to the extent probably or
600 head In addition to this there
We're shipments from the southwest
heavier than usual and in consequence
of the supplies from these two sections
the northwest has in possession larger
number of range stock than 1t has had
for years. Now. the question arises
will the northern territory be willing to
Increase the stock already on hand:
And the answer to this question is that
1T will. providing the prices are salts
factory otherwise ii will not. Corn is
not being fed to cattle now to the same
extent as formerly on account OF IT'S
high price and thus it may be looked
upon as probability that agreat deal of
this years corn crop may be left over
at the time next years crop is harvest
ed But it will be late next year before
the new crop is available and should 1t
turn out as meagerly as did the crop
this year, and there is no assurance to
base any prediction upon in that re-
spect, the feeders might find themselves
in position requiring the utmost econ
omy in the matter of feeding out the
supply on hand. On the whole 1t is not
thought that the corn states will be
large purchasers of high priced stock
cattle next year. and should this prove
true the prices hoped for by the breed
ers would not be realized.
There is another consideration, and
that is the high price of beef cattle in
the spring. but what effect this will
have is not with any certainty known.
And then there is the question of mon
ey. This has been far from abundant
during the last fall and there is no evil
dence that the market may not be more
stringent in the spring. Without an
easy money market cattle can not be
readily moved and good prices secured.
All the conditions problematical and
otherwise. are being duly considered by
those closely interested and gives rise to
the uncertainty and speculation already
mentioned

OMAHA DRAWS OUT
WILL DISCONTINUE TOURIST SLEEP
ERS BETWEEN HERE AND
CHICAGO
NO REASON FOR MOVE GIVEN
This Will Not Affect Great Western
and Milwaukee, and Next Step
of Omaha Awaited With
Interest.

Yesterday the Omaha notified the Mil
Waukee and Great Western that its tour
list car service between here and Chicago
would be discontinued at once. No rea-
son for the move was stated, nor was
the reason known at the general offices,
so far as could be learned.
The officials at the Omaha offices yes
terday admitted that the statement was
true, but farther than that they would
say nothing. 1t is known that the bust
ness has not been heavy on any of the
three roads, but it was not thought that
the sleepers had been given a fair show.
The Pullman is held by the competing
roads to be responsible for the abolish
ing Of the service. At the Milwaukee
and Great Western offices it was stated
Yesterday that the action of the Omaha
would have na effect upon the tourist
sleeper service at all as far as they
were concerned.
Just what the Omaha will do now is
a matter of much speculation among the
competing lines. The passenger officials
of these lines are loath to believe that the
Omaha will sit back and see the two
roads make rate of 81 for sleeper TO
Chicago, but they are not sure just Whae
course the Omaha will pursue in the
matter of retaliation. AS was predicted
in h q ! 0 at the time the service
was put on, the question has stirred up
considerable strife among the roads IN
terested 1t is openly admitted in some
offices that speed war may result from
the move The Burlington and Wiscon-
sim Central are on neutral ground, on
the proposition that they have done
nothing toward putting on the tourist
cars. What they will do is also mat
ter for some speculation.
