or other conveniences for loading the
coal on the steamers. IL is piled on
the river bank and loaded with wheel
barrows.
The whole amount of coal produced
in American territory along the
Yukon has probably not exceeded
5000 tons, representing a value of
about $4,000. The future develop
ment of the Yukon coal resources
probably depends not only on the
wood supply but on the practicability
OF using oil as fuel on the Yukon
steamers. Some of the companies
operating steamers have begun to
make arrangements to use oil from
southern California for steaming pur-
poses.
Because of the limited extent of the
coal beds of the Yukon, of the char
acter of the coal, the cost of mining,
and the distance of the mines from a
market, they will probably never
afford coal for exploration, but with
proper development they will prob
ably be sufficient to supply all local
demands that are at present foreseen.

FINISH FIGHT
ON BREAKER
Of FUNERALS

Chicago, Dec. 24-The struggle be
tween the liverymen's and under
takers associations and livery drivers
union, which for the past six days has
seriously interfered with the burial OF
Chicago's dead, as no hearses or car
riages have been available for funer-
ais, is to be a fight to a finish, all eff
forts looking to a settlement of the
strike by Cancellation having been
abandoned last night.
At a meeting of the employers last
night the conservative element op-
posed the opening of the stables but
favored further overtures looking to-
ward arbitration. They we're defeat
ed. A decision was reached to resume
business today on the "Open shop"
plan, and to ask the court for an in
junction to prevent interference by
union pickets. The union men predict
trouble if the proposed plan is tried.
The chief of police last night in
formed the employers that the police
had been instructed to give the utmost
protection in the carrying on of fu-
nerals. The employers say that if the
police protection fails they will call
upon the sheriff and if that does not
avail they will appeal to the govern
ment for troops.
The police were notified last night
by two liverymen that threats had
been made that their carriages would
be smashed if they attempted to use
them at funerals today.
One livery company of Evanston
has three funerals today, all for Rose
Hill cemetery. After being told that
their vehicles would be smashed if
they went upon streets. the liverymen
warned the relatives of the dead that
it would be advisable for Them to go
10 the cemetery by train. The bodies
Will, however, be taken in hearses.
One of the largest funerals to be
held today will be that of Detective
Thomas Farnsworth, a member of the
police force. Arrangements are
made for a great number of carriages
and a large force of police will guard
the funeral.

Daily Letter.


the favorable weather and easier tone
of cables caused a slight loss in prices
but the market held comparatively
steady Buying by pit traders on the
light receipts was the principal sup
port.
The market turned strong during the
latter part of the session on active Gov
ering by shorts. There was a better
inquiry from foreigners at the seabOard
and outside markets were all strong,
which helped prices.
There was no change in the general
situation in corn and the market ruled
steady. There was some selling on
prospects of increased receipts but the
offerings were well taken.
Corn firmed up with wheat and the
close was near the top.
Oats showed a little easier tendency
after opening firm. The fact that
there was not car of contract oats in
the receipts was the early bull factors.
Provisions were strong on smaller
receipts of hogs than had been esti-
mated and an advance of from sc to
loo in prices at the yards. There was
a fair scattered demand with some buy
ing by shorts while offerings were
light.
