of steers. and at the close of the week there
was an easy outlet for this class of cattle
at an average advance or z5c In prices
compared with those prevailing at the be-
cir ming of the week In this department
values now in a general way are the nigh
est they have been since last september
the market for steers that were little
below the requirements in quality or con-
dition, but they. too. finally sold higher than
they have for some time past
The market for feeding cattle this week
has been generally disappointing Early IN
the week there was very fair request from
professional buyers. but country orders ala
not come forward as literally as expected,
and there was soon a very limited request
from all sources. About the middle OF the
week this branch OF the market was prac-
tically at a standstill. but at the close OF
the week there was again very fair de-
mand at prices probably loul5c lower imam
the same class OF cattle sold last week or
perhaps early in this week The fact that
female butcher cattle have been selling COM
laratively high for some time past prob
ably accounts for less Improvement IN TINS
branch of the trade this week than there
was for steers There has been a good
active and strong demand at all times. how
ever, and the best class of stock is now
selling l0G15c higher than the early part
of the week.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
While there has been a very fair increase
in the marketing OF sheep and lambs this
week compared with recent supplies, there
has not been an excessive number at any
time, and. in fact, no more at any time
than was required 10 accommodate the
most urgent orders. Therefore there has
been a reasonably active market all week.
and, with supplies most OF the time large
enough 10 invite competition from all buy
ers, strong to higher prices have been real
lied. In a general way there has not been
any considerable advance in values, but In
extreme cases spring lambs have sold
around soc higher yearlings 25c higher and
sheep about 25c higher than prices prevail
ing at the close of last week. Occasionally
the competition in the market was not I'M
portant, but at no time were the condi-
tons really unfavorable TO sellers. The
range in prices of spring lambs this week
has been from sails. with most OF the
sales around 81: wool lambs have sold as
high as $3.50. clipped lambs at S515.l5 wool
sheep as high as S4.75 and clipped sheep al
$3.5olI425.
AS usual at the close of the week, the re-
ceipts to-day were quite small, and. in fact
not large enough TO effect prices In any
way. e was a steady demand from
local butchers and a good clearance was
made early at steady prices compared with
yesterday. Spring lambs sold at 81 clipped
yearlings at $50 and clipped sheep at SIG

REVIEW. OF THE WEEK.

From the drift in prices the conditions
governing the hog market this week have
evidently been entirely favorable TO buyers.
At the beginning of the week an easier
tendency developed In values and on Tues
close of last week on Wednesday there
was Slight rally In the early market,
which made extreme sales equal to Mon
were rapid and sharp declines in values
and at the extreme close of the week the
average was fully zoe lower than Wednes-
day or Monday or the close of last week.
In their present position prices are around
soc lower than month ago and the aver
age to-day is the lowest thus far this
year, and In fact since about the I'D OF
December. Early in the week shippers cut
some figure in the arrangement of terms,
but toward the close OF the week they were
not much in evidence. Local packers were
favored with unusually liberal receipts and
unfavorable markets elsewhere, but not
wthstanding this they have been very fair
buyers and as usual on a declining market
have purchased literally. The quality and
conditions of the consignments this week
have not brought out much criticism, or
rather complaint, from buyers and there
fore it may be said that the offerings have
been satisfactory. 1t is true that there
have not been a great many big heavy
hogs, but the loads that We're uneven in
weight have been of a little higher standard
in quality and finish. Although the re-
ceipts have been liberal it has been pos
sible to effect good clearances each day
and therefore it cannot be said that the
situation has been unsatisfactory, espe-
cialy when the developments in surround
ing markets are considered
THE CATTLE MARKET.
AS usual on Saturday the receipts to-day
were of only fair volume and all kinds were
not represented. The offerings were prin-
cipally butcher grades and usual on Sat
urday there were comparatively few in
their class good enough to command ex-
treme prices. There was a fair but not i'm
portant demand from nearly all local buy
ers and sales throughout the day or until
the supply had been exhausted were steady

A Treasury Deficit.

Deficit. deficit. is a word which
is quite likely to be long remembered
by our Republican friends, as it proba-
bly, means defeat for them i'll the near
future If they had not boosted 50
much they would not now find them
selves in such woeful plight. But, to
hear them tell it pending the cam
paign their present system is perfect.
Anybody who asserted that there was
a deficiency in the revenues was either
a lznave or 4 fool, and the blessed
Dingley schedules should never be tin
kered with-no, never! Now comes
Mr.. Leslie NJ. Shaw, one of their crack
stump orators. secretary of the treas
ury and. there being no longer votes
to be made by denial, admits a def
cheney for the current fiscal year Of
some S1S.OO0000. Then he predicts a
surplus Of 100000 for the next ifs
cal year ending July /, 1906. But it is
also true that Mr.. Secretary Shaw, like
other people. knows a great deal more
about the revenues and expenditures
for the current fiscal year than for the
next fiscal year. Even on his own esti-
mate Of the revenues for the next is
cal year the chances are that the bal
ance viii be found ut the end of that
year to be on the wrong side of the
ledger, for It is d notorious and I'M
pleasant fact that the appropriations
nearly always are larger than expect
ed. and the tendency i'll that direction
is perhaps more pronounced now than
at any former period Of our history
notwithstanding a deficiency is staring
them IN the face. The appropriation
bills are longer this year than last and
to undertake to cut them down is to
essay what seems to be the impossible

Sessions Too Short.

There Is a fine opportunity and a
wide field for an interesting debate be-
twixt Hon. Grover Cleveland and the
Chicago Tribune as to the length of
congressional sessions. 1t will be re-
membered that one of G. C.'s most eel
ebrated mots was that wherein he ex-
pressed his yearning to get congress
off his hands. That grew out of his de-
sire to be 1t. Most likely he would if
he could have abolished congress alto
gether and played a game of govern
ment at solitaire If he takes any in
terest III mundane affairs beyond mat
tiers piscatorial he win no doubt be
disguised to learn that the esteemed
Tribune is expounding a theory to the
effect that congress does not sit long
enough So it seems that betwiyt them
there is ample ground for a continuous
performance linguistic. G. C.'s objec-
ton to having congress on his hands
resulted from his unaiterable belief
that he and lie alone was fit to do
things. while the Tribune. admitting
the qualifications of congress to dis
charge its proper functions, thinks
that 1t does not consume time enough.

1t is well known that people who are
unable to write usually use for their
signatures the familiar cross or x.
Why this sign is used instead of any
other is not generally known. In times
long gone by the early Christians used
to sign with the cross to distinguish
them from the heather Kings and
mobiles, too, were wont to affix cross
to documents, whether they could write
or not, as a symbol that they pledged
themselves to the Christian faith and
thus to the truth of the matter to
which the cross was affixed.

The Laird Of skibo.


Mr. Andrew Carnegie. not satisfied
Or dismayed by being mixed up with
Mrs Chadwick in notes of large di-
mansions, is preparing more trouble for
himself by taking a fiier in politics.
He scars high and dominates Senator
Knox for president in 1908. If things
so on at the present rate it will soon
come to pass that d Republican states
man who las not been mentioned in
that connection is distinguished per-
sonage for that reason alone. Many
are called, but few are chosen Later
on it may occur to Mr. Carnegie that
the American people are not enamored
of the idea of having the presidents
named from Skibo castle Quite the
contrary. In fact, they defeated for
that high Office one of the most dis
tinguished men ever nominated-James
Gillespie Blaine. Still. if he so desires,
there is no reason why the laird of
Skibo should not amuse himself by
toying with presidential politics. but if
he undertakes to elect Philander he
will have found recipe for dying
poor All the gold of the river Pacto-
lus would not elect him.
