CRUSHED UNDER THE CARS.
Asonizins Plea Of the Engineer Face
to Face With Death.


to Face With Death.
Houston. Tex. Jan. IA most dis
astrous rear-end collision between two
freight trains occurred this morning
al 2 O'Clock near Sour Lake. on the
Southern Pacific.
The trains were both extras running
twenty minutes apart The head train
stopped at a water tank and while
standing there the rear train came up.
Failing snow and fog prevented the
engineer on the moving train seeing
he danger signal on the caboose of
the other train and It ran into It at
full speed. Half dozen cars were
telescoDed by the engine, nine of the
cars loaded with hay. homes and sand
being piled in a heap.
Fire from the engine set the debris
afre and many cars were consumed.
Engineer James saved his life by
jumping.
he dead are:
}. NJ. Huddleston, fireman
o. s. Daniels, conductor.
+. D. Florray, brakeman.
All were pinned in the debris.
Brakeman John Qualtrough is per.
APPS fatally injured.
The men were killed outright, save
Florray. who was pinloned under the
engine
When the flames burst forth he beg.
ged the survivors TO knock him in the
head with an axe and end his suffering
Death soon came to his relief.
The dead and wounded were
brought to this city Wrecking trains
have cleared the track and traffic is
now resumed with all trains half a
day late.

FEEDER MOVEMENT NORMAL.
Stock Yards Paper Says There Are
Lots of Cattle Going on Feed.

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-The Live Stock
World says editorially: I'VE doubt
whether the condition of the stocker
and feeder trade during the last week
can be taken as an indicator of the
cattle feeding situation in the country.
1t has been touted up considerably of
late that there are no. half as many
cattle going on feed as a year ago
Candidly, we think the man who pins
his faith to this dope VIII he disap
pointed next spring. The Chicago
trade Is pretty fair index to the feed
Ing situation and the vclume of cattle
going back to the country has been
fully up to the normal. 1t may be true
that a larger proportion OF these cattle
have gone TO farms and feed lots to be
roughed thru winter and held for a
year or more, but this should be taken
with plenty Of allowance for possible
market conditions during the winter.
Even thus, early conditions are not
lacking that are indicative of falling
off in proportionate supplies of fat cat
tie. There Is no possible doubt of large
supplies of cattle on farms and ranch
es that will do to put on feed at any
time, and anything in the way of adj
vancing prices for fat cattle will SOON
stimulate active feeding for the early
ma rkets"

USING coRNcoes FOR FUEL.
Kansas Farmers Preparing to Meet an
Expected Coal Famine.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 2S.-The farmers
In the Kansas corn belt are meeting
conditions heroically. A month ago
the coal companies put the price of soft
coal up about 50 per ton more than
1t was sold for two years ago, when
the price ranged about 81 per ton. Even
at the present prices a coal famine In
the rural districts is threatened. Un-
der law enacted by the last legisla-
ture the railroad companies are privil-
eyed to confiscate coal in transit to
dealers IL they need it to run their en-
gines. and as none of the Kansas roads
have sufficient supply on hand to get
thru the winter the farmers look for
ward to condition that may be seri-
Gus.
To be prepared for this emergency,
farmers turnout the corn belt are buy
ing hundreds of shelters so that they
can utilize corncobs for fuel. AT scores
of railroad stations many thousands
Of bushels of husked corn lie on the
ground for lack of elevator room ana
because of car shortage. The farmers
say there is economy in shelling the
corn. They are more certain of secur-
ing its shipment to market or it's stor-
age in elevators and bins. On the
other hand they will be better able to
face fuel famine if they have the
cobs for fuel. 1t is true that cobs
are poor substitute for coal, but they
will produce heat sufficient to warm
the farmers dwelling place.
The great flood which last June
swept the Kaw, Smoky Hill and Re
publican rivers contributed in a pecu-
liar way to the relief of the farmers
IN these valleys, who are now con-
fronted with fuel famine. On nearly
all the bottom land farms great guam
titles of ear corn in the cribs was ru-
ined by being soaked with the muddy
water. The farmers are using this corn
now as fuel. and many of them
have such an abundance OF 1t that they
are able to supply their neighbors who
lived on higher ground and whose corn
was not damaged by the overfiowed
rivers.

Representative Hog Sales.
A few representative hog sales were
The Horse Market.

Trade as a whole has improved 70.
the week the urgent competition to fill
eastern orders firmed prices and offered
an easier outlet to the arrivals. The
practical closing of.the market today
until after the International Livestock
Exposition stimulated more urgent
buying to fill out shipments for eastern
quarters, and the general tone of the
trade has ruled more aggressive and
satisfactory. Good drafters which
were of good quality changed
hands at s175@225 and common kinds
found easier outlet at $125@165. A
few fancy expressers sold up to $3.50,
but the bulk of the good to choice Of
ferings were taken at s13O@170; Infer
Tor grades sold around $115W130
Eastern chunks We're more active un-
der local conditions at $110@140, up to
$3.50 and upward for fancy quality.
Farm mares changed hands at $40 q
1870. Drivers with size, quality, and at
tractive action were steady at S15O@
400. There were fair orders for south
ern chunks at s40m75, with light. plain
drivers also in demand for southern ac-
count at sS0@125.

COAL TRADE SLUGGISH.
Quieter Than Any Time Since
Early in October.

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-The Black Dia
mond, official organ Of the coal trade,
reviewing the western coal markets to-
day says:
Notwithstanding several factors
which should result in increasing ac-
tivity in western coal centers, the trade
remains sluggish and has shown very
little change the past week. If any
thing the market has been quieter this
week than at any time since the early
part of October. This is probably due
to the holiday on Thursday and to the
fact that the temperature has been
moderate for this season of the year
in most parts of the west.
Elements in the situation which
should have stimulated demand this
week include the continuation of the
coal strike in far western territory, con-
tinued cold weather in the extreme
northwest and an increasing shortage
of cars on some Of the north and south
lines in Illinois, Indiana, and thruout
the western territory, including that in
the Missouri valley. II dealers stocks
at most points We're not so large and
there was not such supply of coal
in some of the dock territory 1t is
probable that these features would
have contributed much activity to the
situation and would have had an al
most immediate effect. 1t Is the gem
eral opinion of the trade, however, that
any stimulus which comes to the coal
trade will only be after a fortnight or
longer of severe weather. Then deal
ers will begin to buy coal more freely
and prices will show tendency at
times to advance slightly, especially
on leading domestic descriptions Of BIZ
luminous coal. During the week there
has been very little tendency toward
recession in prices. The active con-
Stunning sea son is no near at hand that
shippers and operators are not inclined
to make any price concessions and
probably will not make any until we'll
toward next spring.
The anthracite trade shows very little
change from week ago. The rumor
which was given circulation in some
week of possible advance In prices
December / Is without foundation.
With the operations closed down part
of the time in nearly the entire anthra .
cite region and with most OF the stor
age room filled with surplus coal such
policy is out OF the question and any
attempt to enforce it would undoubt-
eddy result disastrously. The Black
Diamond feels safe in saying that 1t
has never been seriously considered in
any authoritative quarter. 1t Is equal
ly true, too, that there will be no lower
prices than those at present. The pol
ley Of the leading anthracite coal COM
panies is so we'll known and so much
coal has been sold with the understand
ing that present prices would prevail
thruout the winter, producing COM
panies could not make any reduction
without doing their patrons serious
Injustice.

Commission Men Fear Visitors To

Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Cattle-Today' IS
receipts We're common in quality and
sold at low prices. Cattle that sell from
AIS upward are 10@15 cents higher
than week ago. the demand having
been Unexpectedly good. On the other
hand, the poorer class of cattle is about
10@15 cents lower.
There is imminent danger of over
crowding the market with all kinds OF
live stock during the International Ex-
position next week. as a result of many
shipping stock In order to obtain free
transp ortation, thus figuring saving
of few dollars in railroad fare. While
some saving is thus IN a way accom-
plished, should receipts be excessive,
such as has been the case many times
heretofore when show of this class
is on, prices are very likely to drop
severely as a result, and, while saving
railroad fare, many shippers lose a
good share of their seasons profits on
The selling of stock at a greatly re-
duced price. Not alone in cattle has
this very often been the case. but in
the hog and sheep lines. and all traders
advise moderate marketing during that
period, as well as the balance of this
season. Demand for choice to prime
steers for Christmas trade Is generally
the main feature of the market at this
time, and common and medium grades
will likely meet a very poor outlet
should a very big supply of such ar
rive. Poultry becomes quite a COM
petitor with heef at this season of the
year. and, with heavy receipts Of cat
tie to fill an outlet already rather bad
g hampered, values are very liable to
drop.

REGULATE COKE PRODUCTION.
Committee Having Matter in Charge
Has Not Reached an Agreement.

ConneMsville, Pa, Nov. 2S.-The COM
mittee Of coke operators having in
charge the matter OF arranging ways
and means OF regulating the pro-
duction Of coke and publishing uni
form price among producers has no;
as yet reached an agreement, but 1t IS
thought they will make a report within
a few days. The uncertainty of what
the new year will bring makes 1t diff
ficult task for the committee, as the
coke producers are anxious to maintain
the present wage rate II possible and
are endeavoring to adjust trade with
this end in view. If it is found neces-
sary to readjust this wage rate in the
region for the purpose of reducing the
cost of production to the point where
the surplus coke can be probably sod
in the outside markets, 1T will likely be
done at the beginning OF the year.
The production for the past week
showed an increase of 1856 tons over
the previous week. a decrease in ship.
ments of $500 tons.

'1HE WORLD Of TRADE
Conservative Confidence In
General Business Outlook.
Cold Weather a Stimulus
WHOLESALE TRADE FEATURES
Stronger Tone Of Cotton and Better
Feeling in Wooden Goods-Grain and
Food Producing Populations Pros
perous-Export Demand for Lumber
is Active-Dpn's Review Of Trade.

New York. Nov. 2s.-Bradstreet's
today says:
Continued cold weather has offered
needed stimulus to retail trade in all
seasonable lines. but particularly In
clothing and wearing apparel. In
wholesale trade features are the rath-
err stronger tone of cotton goods, which
are held more firmly by agents, and a
) !ttle better feeling in wooden goods.
Firmness of prices of agricultural
products Is another element which is
to be taken account of. The prosperity
of the grain and food producing popu-
,ations north and west and of the cot
ton, lumber and naval stores interests
at the south, is, in fact, the chief ba-
sis for the conservative confidence in
the general business outlook expressed
by many observers.
Altho iron and steel production is
limited. and shutdowns are numerous,
there is a rather better tone, particu-
iarly to crude iron. due to the growing
of the feeling that prices are now
grounding on the bottom. Finished
products are rather dull. Some larger
orders for, sheet bars are reported
booked from English manufacturers.
The other materials are dull. with cop
per and lead weak. Lumber Is quiet,
for domestic trade. but export demand
IS active.
