Hogs-Receipts 1906 shipments, l,5oa When
the market opened this morning there not q
laFge supply. of hogs in sight. and with ell buy
err in the field there was no doubt some fear
that all orders could be executed. Statesmen
were q-ick to recognize this suspicion among
buyers and they were holding their consisn-
mfnts for strong TO higher prices. On account
OF the reports from other places much OF an
Advance here would not have been justifed., and
ssiesmen being inclined TO play fair tracing
basis established early. At prices tnat
were generally fully steady, frequently strong
and occasionally shade higher there was
reasonably active competition between packers
ari shippers. and prompt clearance OF the
first 5000 hogs that arrived was made. At this
tirle. on account of unfeyorable reports from
other places there seemed to be shade easier
toae here. and no doubt salesren rather az
pe:ted to sell late arrivals lower. but, fortu-
nafely for the selling side only about enough
came in late to complete the requirements Of
packers. anc they were forced 10 pay firm prices
compared witn>the opening. Therefore the mar

floor favored a rally. inasmuch long stock
did not out attacks made in the past
few days. The old saying the market did not
go down and ought to go up prevailed and the
covering of shorts largely instrumental in
advancing the active list OF railroads about l
point. The fractions and Consolidated Gas con-
tinued to be the features Of strength and on
good buying scored an advance of from l to 2
points. The ildustrials. while not active
as the railroads. also showed disposition to
rally. The specalties continued to advance on
pool operations IN the afternoon session real
izinp set in and quite heavy sales were
made in order to bag profits, under which the
market shaded off quite considerable.

Local Financial Gossip;
Bankers and Brokers' Talk

100000 of gold has been taken for import
from European houses by the New YORK
banks. principally the National City Bank
The general opinion seems to be that the
gold-lmpoit ting movement Will bring over
about $40 000. 600 before il comes to halt
THE demand by the banks of this coun-
try centering in New York for gold from
Europe will likely continue until the deficits
caused by the Western movement of money
are made up" said a banker yesterday
Money which was sent West TO move the
crops is little slow in getting back to the
centers this year on account of the crops
maturing later than usual"
The announcement that there is a meet
ing every day of twenty-five or thirty New
York fnanciers. representing the Standard
Oil interests, is regarded by local financiers
as further evidence of the great hold the
Rockefeller crowd. with their probable biz
lion OF capital, has on the financial interests
of the United States. By this daily meet
ing at 26 Broadway the Standard Oil in
terests are able to keep close tab on every
thing going on in the financial world.
Indianapolis men who watch the indus
trial conditions of the United States, re-
lated directly to the financial outlook, are
pleased with the gross earnings statement
OF all the railroads for the first week of
this month, which shows a gain of As per
period last year. The gross earnings of all
the railroads the first week of November
amount to $5,s97,670.
There isn't great amount of money
to loan in indianapolis" said an official of
the Union Trust Company. THE rate
of almost all real-estate mortgage loans
is around per cent. and it isn't easy
to make a loan at that figure. The fact
is, the people don't want to loan their
money now. The insurance companies which
have been doing such large loan business
in Indianapolis for a long time seem to
be closing down somewhat on the supply
they are sending TO their agents here"
The failure recently of a northern In
diana concern to float a loan of $1250O0 in
Indianapolis. through one of the largest
Eastern insurance companies, at or AZ
per cent, shows the condition of the local
| money market. Nobody would consider the
loan at per cent. and the concern finally
failed to get the loan at Az. There isn't any
Az per cent. money In Indianapolis.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-04-25

Secretary Root has directed the court
martial of number of army officers in
Alaska who have been charged with max
ing use of commssary supplies for their
individual profit. 1t appears that they
have been purchasing supplies at cost
and selling them at a great profit, some
thing they could do because of the freight
rates on goods shipped to Alaska The
papers in the case have been referred
TO Gen. Funston, commanding the de-
partment of the Columbia, with instruc-
tons to proceed against the officers i'm
plicated. 1t has been more than year
since the otfenses were committed, and
since that time the officers have been
under investigation. One feature of the
peculations was in connection with hand
ling potatoes. Large supplies Of these
vegetables were sent to the post and they
were turned over to a trading company
at high rate. Another Alaska case re-
lates to an alleged shortage in the ac-
counts of an officer. The officer claimed
his safe was broken open and the money
stolen. The authorities decided on a
court martial The names of the officers
accused were not made public.

FIRE CAUSES ssoo,ooo LOSS.
Park Store in La Crosse Is Destroyed
with Other Property.

For three hours Tuesday night the en-
tire business district of La Crosse, Wis,
was threatened by fire. At 1:30 in the
morning, when the confagration was
finally under control, the loss was esti-
mated at between 100000 and $SOO,0OO.
While the fire was raging another blaze
destroyed part of the business portion OF
West Salem, a village about twelve miles
away, and threatened to destroy the en-
tire town, but it was eXtinguished with
a comparatively small loss. The La
Crosse fire started at about 1870 o'clock
in the back Of the Park store, and before
it was under control the store was in
ruins. The fire worked its way from the
Park, the largest department store in
the city. to the Farland millinery store,
which was quickly destroyed. The Coren
and the Willing buildings also suffered,
but less seriously.
