Horse Wears Medal.

II is little known that more that one
troop horse that Went thru the south
African war has been decorated with a
war medal. correspondent who was
passing the horse guards the other day
expressed his wondernent at seeing a
medal, depending upon the martingaie
of one of the sentrys' mounts 1t was
a South African medal with no fewer
than six bars and the ribbon
Il asked" our correspondent says.
'the young giant sitting on the horses
back whether the medal with the. six
bars belonged to him or TO the horse.
TO the horse he said. Then in answer
to further queries he told me the horse
was one of 260 originally sent out to
South Africa with their troops and the
only one that after fifteen months ser
vice had come back, and there he was
still fit for work and for warfare. The
medal, the soldier said, had ben spec
tally awarded to his mount by the
queen" II is he fact that several hor-
SEES belonging to cavalry regiments
have been similarly decorated.

Iowa State Railroad Commits
sioners Compel Iowa Roads
to Come to Time
GENERAL MANAGERS AGREE
Latter Were Told That Unless They
Agreed to Issue Transportation to
Stock Shippers, Reduction of the
Live Stock Rates in the State of
Iowa Would be Ordered.

Chicago, April 2S.-Members of the
Iowa state railroad commission held 4
conference here yesterday with the
general managers of Iowa roads and
return transportation TO live stock ship
pers. 1t is understood that the commits
sion told the general managers that I'M
less they agreed to issue The transport
tation the commission would order a
reduction of the live stock rates within
the state of Iowa. The state legislature
recently passed a law requiring
the railroads to grant return passes TO
shippers but the railroads have decid-
ed to test the law in the courts.
January l, 1904, the roads centering
in Chicago entered into an agreement
not to issue return transportation to
shippers of livestock upon the ground
that it was unnecessary for shippers
10 send men with their stock and upon
the further ground that such transpor-
taton was greatly abused and largely
dealt in by scalpers.
The agreement on the part of the
Iowa roads now TO issue shippers
transportation will probably result in
the abrogation of the agreement. of last
January. 1t is not believed that roads
can issue such transportation to the
shippers of one state and refuse to is
sue it TO the shippers of all states in
which they have lines of railroad. The
commission took the position that by
reason of not receiving return trans
portation shippers were permitting
their stock to come to market unat-
tended and were as a result suffering
great loss from shrinkage due to delay
and lack of cere.

Chicago, April -Wheat--Opening
prices In wheat We're again easier, but
they proved to be the low point OF the
day. A good demand developed on the
small decline and while valentines SELL
ing checked the advance, buying was
of the very best character and the mar
ket advanced gradually until old July
sold Ia higher than yesterdays close
Armour sold around Sc and caused
little setback. but the close was firm
and higher. The weather was against
the market and reports from the north
west were favorable, while those from
the southwest were somewhat varied.
Some sections reported improved
weather and others continued to tell
OF poor prospects. The market was
influenced more by the change in sem
timent of some of the heavy operators
than by the news that came in, altho
reports relative to the cash situation
from the northwest and southwest were
'bullish enough to cause a greater adj
vance than we had. There was good
buying by southwest houses on small
receipts and the cash situation. The
crowd was on both sides Of the mar
ket, but those that sold had long wheat
as rule. Other longs aid led to their
line. AS a general thing commission
houses We're on the buying side. Coun-
try millers We're buying cash wheat at

Corn-There was strong market
for corn and higher prices till near the
close when Valentine sold July in large
quantities and caused reaction. VAL
entine kept the crowd guessing by sell
ing in person and buying thru brokers,
and this had a tendency 10 keep the
market rather quiet, but late IN the
session uptlrn in wheat encouraged
the crowd and they bought freely of

Sheep in Active Demand.

Chicago, April 2S.--Cattle-lT'he ac-
tive general demand that was wit
|, messed early in the week has been fol-
lowed by slow trade owing to heavy
receipts. Buyers have stocked up with
beef very extensively and prices are
largely 1O@20 lower than Monday. To-
day demand was slow and prices
weak.
Stockmen are unable to account for
the big bulge in receipts. for there have
been no conditions in the trade tnas
would induce country shippers to cut
loose so suddenly. Last week the big
run came on Monday, and the market
recovered pretty we'll from shock before
the week was over, but there is not
much hope OF mending the decline re-
ported yesterday.
Good feeding steers have been scarce
all this week, and what did come were
generally taken by dressed beef men
at higher prices than the feeders could
afford to pay.
Hogs.
With rapidly increasing supplies
prices are still moving in downward
direction. With $500 left over last
night and 10000 fresh receipts there
was good aggregate supply today and
buyers succeeded in forcing further
decline Of nickel.
Sheep.
Supplies are falling off materially
and with receipts only 10000 against
1900 last Thursday there was an ac-
tive general demand and prices were
strong at the recent advance.
