Trading on Stock Exchange Yesterday
 Footed Up but 3,s00 shares.
 New York, March 10.-To-days trad ing in stocks on the stock exchange, footing up 73,S00 shares, was the small est in years. Even in 1894 when invest ment activity was at the low ebb for this generation, there were few in- stances when full days business fell below 100000 shares.
 July 27. 1894. was an exception, only 7S,sS1 shares then being dealt in. The novelty os to-day's extreme dullness was that it should occur in the spring. when business is frequently active, not in midsummer, when everybody expects quiet spell. The exchange was near ly deserted to-day. The telephone in the corridors were scarcely used at all, since there were few orders to execute.

 Grand Rapids, Wis, March 1o.-carp for several days have filled the river around Hustingford in such numbers that sawmills and gristmills have been obliged to shut down, as the fish get into the waterwheels and make it in- possible for them to run. The fish are of large size, ten-pounders being eom- mon.
 This is the spawning season for carp and they leave the big streams and crowd into water two to four feet deep.

Marina appeared Tn HE OASls. u is the property of Captain l.. w.. Mix, A. l.. Peck and F. Salda- mando of Nogales.
 Returning to Opodepe, the party met Doctor Meuli and the evening was passed very pleasantly with that gentleman and MT. Vasovil- baso Doctor Meuli practiced medicine in Guaymas several years, but has made his headquar- ters at Opodepe some months and has a good practice at that place, Rayon and other points along the San Miguel river.
 Thursday morning we took our departure from Opedepe, the three visitors in another carriage secured for them by Mir. VaSovilbaso.
 The route followed led down the San Miguel river, passing num- Der of fine ranches, with fields of sprouting grain giving beautiful charm to the landscape.
 About mile below Opodepe the extensive mescal distillery of Mir. Vasovilbaso was passed.
 About a mile above Rayon is a large flouring mill, and in the vicinity are a number of fine large ranches that produce great quan- titles of grain, beans and tobacco. Along the road many large six and eight mnle teams were met convey ing full loads of these products to the railroad at Poza for shipment.
 About noon we reached Rayon, a town of considerable conse- quence, six leagues below Opodepe. The population is about 1900 souls, and there is a church which goes back a conple hundred years or more, which is in much better repair than many of the old churches of the region.
 At one O. the stores l was shown some fine galena from mining claim in the vicinity, which is the property of Doctor Meuli of Opo- depe and two or three Rayon peo- pie. They have three foot ledge which is reported to assay 300 ounces silver per ton and forty per cent lead.
 At Rayon there was Mir. San tiago Martinez of Carbo, who had passed us at Opodepe the preceding day, coming to join Mir. CrowelPs party to show them some prop critics in that vicinity in which Mir. Crowell and himself are interested. One of them is named the Guada- lupe, and at that mine they ar ranged to stay Thursday night, going on to Copete Friday some time, thence to the railway at Carbo, a day or two la So at Rayon THE OASIS man parted from the pleasant company he had en loved several days, and turned the mules head toward Copete, travel Ing Jilt IOtu dlOiiS.
 From Rayon the next point down the river is Ranchito, about nine miles. and the second one is Carbonera, about six miles farther A good road follows down the stream, connecting the three places; but another road goes up through the mountains via Copete to Carbonera. That was the route taken As it was quite late at starting, and there was no hurry, the nine miles were travelled leisurely, reaching Copete little before sun set.

been there nearly a month, and were fixing to start upon their re- turn home the following day.
 Mir. Kileen is the assistant gen eral manager for the Belene Min ing Company, and he stated that operations in those properties will be resumed in June next. Three shafts are sinking, about 800 feet apart. to penetrate the ore body pitching ont of the adjoining Copete ground. which it is expected will be encountered at depth be- tween 500 and 600 feet. The main working shaft-double compart- ment, is now down 327 feet, and the others are at approximately the same level.
 It is the intention to connect the three with a drift, and to carry the main shaft to a depth of 300 feet or more. In going down several stringers of very rich copper ore, carrying good gold values have been encountered, and it is anti cipated that they will prove feeders to very large body of valuable ore.
 Operations have been resumed in the Copete mine, under the management of Mir. Charles F. Spraker of Nogales, very capable and experienced mine superinten- dent. He is now working upon the 800 foot level
 At the time of my arrival at the camp MT. Spraker, was down at the pumping station on the river, but he returned later in the even ing, and I had very enjoyable visit with him.
 Mir. w. G. Scoyel, also of No gales, is at the Copete, running the hoisting engine
 Messrs. Hardwick and Killeen have the concession for the store at Copete, and Mr. Killeen had been arranging the transfer of the stock of goods from the Belene store to the Copete store building Mir. Ramon Moreno is in charge of the business.
 But few hundred yards away from the Copete property IS the Sultana mine of Mir Joseph L.. Giroux, in charge of his brother, Mir. Gideon Giroux. In passing the following morning 1 found Mir. Giroux at the mouth of an incline, overlooking the work, and with some very rich looking ore coming up.
 The store at Sultana is owned by Mir. Julio Bonnaud of Opodepe, and is in charge of his son, Elm Bonnaud.
 I remained at Copete over night, the guest of Mir. Killeen.

The Hog Market.

JANUARY-In the month of January a to-
tai of 139, 453 hogs were received, represent
ing a decrease Of only about LOCO compared
with the same month in 1902. The shipments
this month were 5S,271, leaving a balance or
sc, 1S2 for local consumption, or winch 1891
were taken by Kingan & Co. The largest
receipts in one day this month were 1O.l1I
and the largest shipments 4.l6o. The largest
weeks receipts in the month were 10000
and the largest shipments 1850. Medium TO
heavy hogs sold 10 the best advantage
throughout the month, and prices usually
represented a margin of nearly 4Oc over
prices of light hogs. AT the beginning or the
month the extreme top was 500 at the low
time. which was the 5th, the top was $3.50,
and at the extreme close of the month $40
was paid.
FEBRUARY-February being a short
month only 79.4S3 hogs were received. repre-
senting a decrease of 10000 from the same
month in 1892. The shipments this month
were 80. 800, leaving a balance of $4,000 hogs
for local consumption, and OF these hingan
e. 20 took over 5000. The largest receipts
i'm one day were SSH and the largest ship
ments 2.SO0. Values advanced from sc to 1Oc
per day, but on account OF occasional reac-
lions the extreme price for the month was
only 45c higher than the lowest top price.
The best heavy hogs sold at the start at
81. at the high time at $.45 and at the close
MT 81. IS. The demand was against the best
for medium TO heavy grades, but the short
age of all kinds Of hogs made the margin
between prices smaller.
.MARCH-The receipts Of hogs were small
in March,. showing Il QtCISdSt u llsVDJ Oil
pared with February and an increase of
about 5000 over the same month in 1902. A
total of 6S. 400 arrived and 0.5O0 were taken
by shippers, leaving n balance of about
$500 for local consumption, OF which Kin
gan & Co. took over 5000. The largest re-
CENTS in one day this month were $500 and
the largest shipments ESQ. In point of
prices this was the high month of the year.
The month opened with a gain Of l5c over
the close of last month and there was almost
a gradual gain until the oath of the month,
when S7.5 was paid, and this was the high
est price of the year, and $.45 higher than
the lowest top price of the year. From this
time until the close of the month there was
q rand reaction in the market and at the
extreme close there had been a loss of Csc in
top prices.
A~PRIL1There was a little gain i'm the
marketing of hogs in April. a total of about
~. 500 having arrived. against 6S, 100 the
preceding month and $500 the same month
i'm 1902. The shipments this month were
p. $50. leaving a balance of AZ, 800 for local
consumption. The largest receipts in one
day this month were .422 and the largest
shipments $3.50. There was very little
change in prices the first half OF April.
but the last half prices declined gradual

Another big year in the history of the
business of the indianapolis Union Stock
yards came to an end yesterday. In some
departments the receipts were slightly
smaller than in 1902, but in the aggregate
the receipts for the year 1903 show large
gains over the receipts of the previous year.
The stimate value of all the stock re-
ceived this year is $31. 10000. divided as fol-
lows: Hogs, SIS, 400, 600; cattle and calves,
IS, $50, 900; sheep, $4,000. and horses, 49,
4s0, 600.
An important feature of the trade the
past year, and one that should claim the
attention of all livestock shippers, is. the
enormous and rapidly Increasing require
ments of the local packing houses. In the
past year approximately 20 per cent. OF all
the stock received was used in Indianapolis.
and there was an increase of nearly 100000
head Of all kinds Of stock consumed, COM
pared with 1902.
In point of quality here, as we'll as else
where, there was disappointment in the
cattle line the past year. The condition of
the markets has not been favorable to
feeders and on account of the Improbable
business the percentage Of unfinished cat
tie sent forward has been considerably
larger than in former years. This also is
largely responsible for a lower average In
prices than would probably have been Sc
cured under normal circumstances.
In the hog line the quality most of the
year was excellent. All year and even in
the summer season the marketing of choice
medium to heavy hogs was remarkable.
The light hogs, too, that were hurried for
ward on account of attractive prices have
generally been above the average in quality
and finish. In fact, there were probably
fewer really undesirable hogs here the past
year than for many years preceding. The
superiority of the hogs coming here has
claimed the attention of some of the largest
consumers in the world, and it is no longer
a secret that this market is supported by
the best buyers of high-grade hogs on the
American continent. The feeder and ship
per were rewarded for improving their
hogs by receiving relatively the highest
prices paid in any market. There were very
few times the past year and possibly none
that the best hogs did not sell here at a
premium over other places, and many times
the position in values was considerably
above normal, as compared with other mar
kets.
In the cattle department prices the past
year were the highest in April and the low
est in November, but there were only two
months in the year, February and March,
that the top price paid was below $40.
Hogs were the highest in March and the
lowest in November. Sheep were the high
est in April and the lowest in December.
The extreme prices paid here this year
were s7.S5 for hogs, Sc for steers. $5.25 for
heifers, s4.75 for COWS, $3.50 for bulls, $3.50
for calves, 81 for lambs. s. for sheep and
So $3.50 for a horse.

Written for the Journal by Edgar Fl. T. Evans.l
Mills at indianapolis have had a steady
run for the past six months, but it has been
by reason Of increasing efforts to obtain new
markets. The export trade which usually
forms a large part of their business has
been very dull lately.
This years business Of the local mills is
the more remarkable in view of the fact
that changes in railroad rates have operated
greatly against Indianapolis as a grain and
milling center, and in favor of other mar
kets. The railroads prefer, apparently, to
favor terminal points both North and South,
rather than to cast any favors that might
be made in the direction of indianapolis. 1t
is hoped that this matter will be readjusted
soon. however, as ii compels Indianapolis
mills to seek their supplies in new terri
tory.
HIGH PRICES FOR LOCAL FLOUR
The reputation of Indianapolis fours for
quality is of the very highest. Prices OBJ
tanned both at home and abroad are second
to no other center. One reason for this is, in
the first place, the up-to-date equipment of
these mills and, also. that they are able to
draw their supplies cot wheat from such a
large territory that If supplies fail or freight
rates are Instantaneous in one region,
they can draw on another even though the
latter contingency should make the supplies
cost more.
While the export trade has been material
~ less the past year than heretofore. the
mills have still kept their hold, and as soon
as the disadvantageous conditions as to
freight rates and. competing markets are
removed they will doubtless do their for
mer volume of business abroad. Their
markets are principally in England, Scot
land and Ireland. The last two countries
require the highest grade of flour.
TRADE QUIET NEXT FEW MONTHS.
In the domestic trade Indianapolis fiours
enter every important market, where their
product is used largely for ~high-grade bis
cults and cakes. Her flour is also largely
used for the family trade in many Eastern
markets, notably in parts of New England.
Not a small part of the business is in
marketing the bran and other milling Of
falls. These find buyers among the large
dairying interests in New York State and
in New England.
The next few months promise rather quiet
times for millers owing to the scarcity Of
soft winter wheat, but next summer the
new crop will doubtless furnish ample sup
plies to keep the mills operating at their
usual full capacity.

The Confectionery Trade.

The wholesale confectionery business
the past year. as is the case in all other
lines. was OF a large volume. There hes
been. perhaps. no increase in the volume of
business over that Of 1902. but the charac-
ter OF the trade generally the year lust
closed shows a substantial Improvement
over that OF any previous year in the local
market. II is estimated by leading dealers
that about 100000 Of business was done in
the wholesale confectionery line the twelve
months of 1905. The business of the
previous year was estimated at the same
figure.
II is I'm this way that the trade of the
past year shows improvement-that the
manufacturers (all the local confectionery
jobbers manufacture. themselves. their
goods have. in the last year. been improv-
Ing their output and pushing to a larger
extent than ever before their best lines
And their efforts in this direction have met
with success, as the orders all the vear
showed that the demand for the better and
more expensive goods was considerably in
creased over the demand for this kind Of
goods during the previous year. The ton
ceney is decidedly for Improvement in the
demand Tor the better grades. and for n
smaller demand for the cheaper grades
The new year promises TO show continued
Improvement in this line, and also 10 re-
cord a larger volume Of business.

The Grocery Trade.

In the wholesale grocery trade there is
no doubt but what the business done in 1903
was OF a larger and more substantial vol
ume than ever before. The territory tribu-
tary to the local market was prosperous
last year. and there was an increased ten
dency all year over all former years for a
larger demand for the better class of
goods This has been a help TO the tobbers,
as IL enabled them to close the old year
with little or no old stock TO work off in
what are known as push lists"
All indications point to a heavier volume
Of business this year.
The volume OF the wholesale grocery bus
mess by the indianapolis houses the past
year Is conservatively at IS, 000, OOO.
This is an increase OF about 10 per cent, or
5000 100 over the business OF the previous
year. Dealers generally are preparing
themselves for a substantial increase dur
Ing the twelve months just begun.
The past year there were not many
changes of decided consequence in prices
In the local wholesale grocery market.
Some articles have been advanced and 9TH
ers have experienced declines. but regard
ing the list as a whole. IT cannot be said
that there is much change in prices from
those prevailing twelve months ago. The
demand is such that the general list stands
firm This is a benefit to the retailer. as he
does not have TO carry as much surplus as
he would were prices fuctuating sharply
at frequent intervals.

The year 1903 was a prosperous one in the

GROWING ACTIVITY IN
SOME LINES OF IRON TRADE.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 31.-The Iron
Trade Review, in its issue this week. says:
with growing activity in some directions,
even at the expense of prices, the closing
week of the year finds increasing expecta-
tons in the iron and steel market. The
lower prices of the week are In finished ma
terial chiefly. In pig iron the tendency for
the time being is toward frmness in South
ern iron, while Northern furnaces have
shaded prices in some instances 10 take
business in closely competitive territory.
Several conferences have been held at Bir-
mingham this week. looking to the reor-
ganizatiOn of the Southern Pig Iron Associa-
ton. or the adoption of some plan TO estab-
lish prices on a firmer basis and keep them
there. The proposal 10 make $40 at furnace
the minimum for No. ? foundry and by some
producers $40 for No. 3 is talked of. The
business of the week has been done almost
entirely at $3.50 Birmingham for No. 2.
Northern furnaces are quoting prices based
on their revised costs. and are getting bust
ness again, partly because a number OF
Southern furnaces are fairly sold UP for the
first quarter.
There are some better Indications in fin
ished material. though no realizing move
ment is looked for until after the new year
opens.
