Sioux City stock. Yards, Sioux City, Iowa,
paratively light and showed falling of f' OF
$500 head as compared with last. a very un-
satisfactory condition Of the stocEer trade char
acterized the market, and from the opening day
on Monday trade was slow and dragging. The
dealers sold cattle at loss last week, carry
Ing over good many and therefore were not
the best Of buyers. Bids were lower and very
uneven and by the time a trading basis was
reached sales were reported about steady with
Wednesday and 1O@115c lower than the high day
of Monday of last week. There was no i'm
provement shown later in the week and, If any
thing the common cattle sold to a greater dis
advantage and We're quoted at the close of the
week a quarter lower than last week.
A few sales were made in strictly good stock
ers at s3.so@4 but the fair to good 500 to 1000

LIVE STOCK NOTES

s. w. Hamilton Of Winona, Mimi. sent
to Chicago two doubles Of prime ewes in
fleece, averaging close to 100 lbs, that
sold at $5.95, and prime 1S5-lb. western
best price yet reached by this prime
stock, which Nelson Morris, who looked
them over, pronounced as among the best
he has seen in years. Hamilton & Rag
land of Winona, Mimi, marketed two
loads Of their extra prime ewes Thursday
which averaged III lbs. and sold at $685.
and one load of wethers averaging 1879
lbs. at S5.45. Their ewes and wethers
have topped the market every time this
season.
Every effort will be made to stamp out
cattle mango in North Dakota the COM
ing summer. Dipping plants are being
erected at all important stock centers and
the work will be carefully conducted UNI
der the supervision of federal officers.
Stockmen generally will render all as
ststance possible. I'll .4.es
Feeders all over the country are letting
their cattle go. preferring to take the
low prices on the market rather than hold
for a raise on the present price Of corn
and other feed. It looks as if this coun-
try Is raising too many cattle or too lit
tie feed. This condition has cost the feed
er enormously in the past two years.
There is general complaint that stock
cattle are moving very slowly this spring.
It will be some weeks yet before there is
anything like a free movement of young
stock north and west. e.-.....z
The Chicago Drovers' Journal says moi
many cattle feeders have made money
this year, and the great majority have
lost considerable. How about the packers
and retailers?
| Judging by the enormous movement Of
light beef cattle to market the supply
must be considerably depleted in the coun
try, and 1t is natural that this class Of
cattle will show some gain in price dur.
ing the next thirty days.

South st. Paul. April 2.-Cattle receipts
this week total about 8,625 head against
2,945 last week and 5,00s for the CORE
spending week year ago. Calf receipts
this week total about 10 head against 598
last week and 2,270 for the same week last
year. Cattle, while showing fair gain
over last week, are disappointingly small
and falling far short of, the runs at this
time last year. The shortage is confined
largely to the stock and feeding grades
but, at the same time, double the number
Of butcher cattle, especially good grades,
could be used. The killing stuff has held
in about a steady notch all week. There
was some little effort on the part Of buy
ers to get their supplies at slightly lower
prices but owing to the small runs, 1t
met with but poor success. Bulls have
varied little In price, and were in fair de-
mand one day and dull the next all week
along. Veals have had bad slump. The
decline for the week is fully SOC to 75c
The best are now quoted at $4.25. In the
stocker and feeder trade there has been
little or no change this week. Prices have
been about steady at all times. During
the first of the week a few outside buy
ers were in and cleaned up the yards.
Since that time the regular yard dealers
have furnished the only outlet. They
have picked up the good cattle readily, but
have neglected the common stuff. Mich
cows have been fairly active all week.
Hog receipts this week total about 49,
200 against IS, LAT last week and 15,4s0 for
the corresponding week a year ago. The
week opened with good, steady market
and this was followed with strong mar
ket on Tuesday. Wednesday receipts
were heavy, one Of the best runs of the
year arriving. This condition was true at
all the large markets and values declined
sharply. Another liberal run on Thursday

Mr.. Hamilton reviews the provisions
of the bill at length and urges the
necessity and justice of admitting the
four territories as Two states.
The minority views are signed by
Representatives Moon, Lloyd Robin
son (lnd) and Thayer. After a
lengthy discussion OF the bill the mi
nortity concluded with this expression:
Should the republican party pass
this bill, wicked as it is, in the denial
of equal rights, in representation and
partisan in all of its material details,
it will but afford another indecent eX-
ample of the suppression of individ-
ual, territorial and national rights to
subserve partisan ends. Even more
than that, it is surrender of the
power that sovereign states would eX-
ercise in the union if the constitu-
tional methods were followed in the
admission of states. 1t minimizes the
influence of the west and southwest
