From the Boston Standpoint.
on Woman, in Ainslee's.

Boston Woman, In Ainsee's.
The warmth of the west comes mainly
from her newness; because she is new she
still has the roaring cameraderie of the
pioneer days when frontiersmen looked to
one another not only for companionship,
but for defense against the hazards of a
precarious existence which would have
made exclusiveness we'll nigh suicidal.
Boston, on the other hand, long ago out
grew her municipal baby clothes. and we
have totally lost the pioneer spirit that
once was ours. The city is built to stay,
and with it we also stay unto the third and
fourth generation. Our friends flew kites
with us, read Virgil with us, came to our
weddings and will lay wreaths on our
tombs. Indeed, we have, in the natural
>course of things, rather more friends than
we think we need: so why collect others.
We do not lay siege to one another, and
we do not much care to be hesteged by
others. It is not our game,

TOUR OF INSPECTION
-e
coMM1ss1oNER sAaeE9r TO VISIT
MANY 1nM1aHAaoa erAr1oHs.
Alleged Impossibility of Enforcing the
Chinese Exclusiol Lats- How
Admission 10 Gained.

F, P. Sargent, commissioner general Of
immigration, returned Today from trip to
Boston and the Maine coast, where he has
spent the last fortnight in recreation. The
paralysis with which he was stricken last
winter and from the effects of which he suf-
fered for long time. seems to have almost
gone and his general health to have i'm
proved.
On the 18th he will leave for a tour of in
spection of the immigrant ton depots of the
United States, the trip covering a period of
six weeks and including visits to every i'm
portant poirI- along the Mississippi river
the gulf of Mexico, The Pacific coast and
the Canadian porder, from 40 to 100 stations
being scheduled for a visit.
He will first go to st. Louis and then
down the river to New Orleans thence to
Galveston and from there along the Next
can border to the Pacific at San Diego San
Francisco, Portland, Seattle Tacoma, Win
nipeg and other places along the border will
be visited and no place overlooked where
the conditions warrant the personal inspec-
ton of the commissioner general.
Regarding Chinese exclusion a prominent
politician who was active in the promotion
OF the exclusion act said that thew could
not De excluded until the United States was
surrounded by stone wall, guarded at
every point, and that that would be never
Ihey creep in at many places where If ia
impossible for the officials of the immiera-
ton bureau to watch the border and the
tlme Will never come, so this official a sserts
wien the Chinese exclusion act win ahso
lutely exclude.
AT this moment there are said to ho
several hundreds of Chinese slaves in this
country yet the immigration bureau can
40 nothing to alleviate their condition nor
TO prevent the traffic. The latter seems To
De conducted by company of Chinese in
this country, who elect to gain entrance for
any Chinese who wishes to come here and
bind himself to the terms of their contract
a very serious document. A large sum is
to be paid to the company in return for its
work In getting the cooIie here and the
latter then becomes bound to the company
for period of years, never being freed
from the bond until he has paid back every
cent advanced for his passage here and
other expenses in connection Herewith
The poor coole never protests for the
reason that it would mean his death or
the death of his relatives in China if the
company should not be able to catch him
The immigration bureau is cognizant of
this condition, yet the tactiturnity of the
victims makes it impossible for the bureau
to apprehend the culprfts and punish them
All that can be done is to watch the points
where Chinese is likely to try to enter the
United States. And these contract Chinese
do not enter at these placs, or if they do
they are supplied with such fine counterfeit
credentials that the officials of the govern
ment immigration service are victimized by
them.

Today's Receipts Were Mostly
of Poor Quality and Sold
at Low Prices
WEEK HAS BEEN a BAD ONE
Despite Small Receipts the Market
Has Declined For Native and Fed
Western Reef-cows and Heifers
and Feeders Hisher-Active Hog
Trade at Lower Prices.

Chicago. Nov. 12.-Cattle - Today's
receipts We're mostly poor in quality
and sold slowly at low prices. De-
spite the unusually small receipts this
week prices for native and fed west
ern beef steers closed largely 25@35
lower than a week ago, very best and
poorest excepted. Cows and heifers
were in active demand, prices average
ing 1O@25 higher than last week
Western rangers have been greatly re-
duced supply and were active and high
er and the stocker and feeder trade
has been rather animated at an aver
age advance of 1ODl5 for good
grades.
Traders say the sharp advance in
cattle prices on Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week was due to a scarcity
of good fat steers and an urgent ship
ping demand. Despite the liberal Of
ferngs earlier that week, buyers had
not secured enough cattle to fill re-
uuirements of trade, but this week,
altho receipts have thus far fallen close
to 10000 less, the outlet has been
greatly chooked up, and instead of the
active trade and higher prices which
characterized selling a week ago. ex-
IRENE dullness and Il big decline In val
ues have been noted. The fact of lower
prices can not be blamed to excessive
receipts, but must be accounted for In
the fact that the beef trade, both here
and in the east, is in a glutted condi-
ton. and even this weeks compara-
lively light offerings have been beyond
requirements. There is small en-
couragement for liberal marketing at
the start next week, and country ship
pers should hold down supplies of all
kinds to very moderate total IN order
to avoid further slump in values,
The big slash which buyers have taken
off values this week has rendered trade
in very poor shape.
Stocker and feeder dealers nave
made fairly good clearance OF the
heavy offerings which were on hand at
the opening of the week.
Hogs.
Trade was active today and prices
SOTO lower. Packers have succeeded
in holding prices down this week, de-
spite the fact that receipts were very
much smaller than those for the cor
responding week in recent years, being
10 lower for best than week ago.
Sheep.
Trade was active today at unchanged
prices. The unusually small receipts
during the week have caused sharp
advance and lambs have been selling
actively at $4.25@6.25 to $500, the
price being 40 higher than last week.
native sheep sold at 2.O0@4.9o, with
choice export at 4.50.

DuN's REVIEW.
Loss is occasioned by Interruption on
Account Of Holiday.

Loss is occasioned by Interruption on
Account Of Holiday.
New York, Nov. 12.-R. G.. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade to-
day says:
"All measures of trade indicated the
customary loss due to holiday inter-
ruption, but subsequently much of the
deficit was regained, numerous evil
dences of increasing confidence being
seen in the disposition to place orders
for distant shipment. Increased con-
sumption of pig iron is also significant,
and in other leading branches of manu-
facture there is a steadily diminishing
percentage of idle machinery.
Developments in the leading manu-
featuring industry are about equal to
the most sanguine expectations De-
mand Is broadening in a wholesale
manner, large contracts calling for a
heavy tonnage of plates, wire, pipe and
Sheets orders for structural shapes
were heavier than at any previous time
this year, and sales of bars were made
at 50 above the list prices"

Elections Over ard Coming of
Colder Weather Expected
to Help Business
CONFIDENT FEELING PREVAILS
While Trade Has Jagged on Account
of Unreasonable Weather and the
Interest in Elections, Change for
the Better is Now Apparent = The
Trade Reviews.
New York, Nov. 12.-Bradstreet's to-

New York, Nov. 12.-Bradstreet' to-
day says:
Interest in the elections and unseas-
onably warm weather in some sec
tions have retarded trade but the more
optimistic outlook as to future found
reflection later in an enlargement Of
wholesale and jobbing business,
firmer tone of prices, and more assur-
ed activity in many leading industries.
Official reports of past crop yields and
advices of largely increased acreage
in fall sown crops have contributed
to the confident feeling. In addition,
reports as to the outlook for holiday
and next springs trade have proved
favorable. Prices testify to demand
pressing upon supply in a general lev
ell of quotations close to the highest re-
corded in the past decade. Of the
country's leading products, special ac-
tivity Is noted this week in iron and
steel. coal, coke hardware, hides, leath-
er, groceries, lumber and building ma
terial, the latter two particularly at
the west. Drugs, paints, glass, whis-
ky, tobacco, live cattle, sheep, and
hogs note a full seasonable movement
at generally satisfactory prices.
Wheat, including flour exports for
the week ending November 10 aggre-
gate 1,454,276 bushels, against 3,659,S23
this week last year. From July to
date the exports aggregate 25,3SS,349
bushels, against s1,901,7s1 last year.
Corn exports for the week aggregate
14S,O51 bushels against 1,6sS,2S2 year
ago. From July 1 to date the exports
of corn aggregate 10,7S9,Ss6 bushels

very few hogs, as the pig crop was a
late one.
Frank Hunter of Preston had i'll a
load of black Dakota cattle that he
had fed eightyseven days. They av-
eraged 1850 pounds and sold for export
at s5.75.
X. II. Hanna Of Thompson, had one
load of steers on yesterdays market
and sold at satisfactory prices.
Walter Quayle, of Quayle & Son,
prominent feeders at Bagley, was
mere Thursday with a load of cattle.
He says not over three-quarters of the
cattle fed here last winter will be fed
in their country, corn selling sparingy
at S0m31 cents. Fall pasturage good,
and plenty of pigs that are healthy,
but much lighter than usual at this
time of the year.
packers have their bearish armor
on, and $3.50 hogs will soon be a real
!ty," opined Fred Lennon. There are
good and sufficient reasons for their
attitude, however, for the woods are
full Of hogs, and the corn crop is
bumper one as to both quantity and
quality, and farmers are going to rush
hogs from now on. / look for 45,ooo

eral the balance of the season"

Need Fewer Cattle.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Cattle trade has
not been burdened with an excessive
volume of offerings this week, but the
comparatively small arrivals nave
failed to stimulate demand. Too many
have arrived in the past few weeks, say
buyers, and coolers are well filled with
beef now. while lower prices at eastern
points have cut down the demand from
there, and. with smaller export orders,
the trade has been hampered an
around. Tho big decrease Is noted
in arrivals compared with last week,
this reduced number of offerings has
been more than were needed. and had
REGENTS been of the same proportions
as last week, there would probably be
big stale stock now in the yards await
ing sale.
Buyers have offered small excuses
for their bearish tactics. and saiesmeh
have been forced to accept the newt
able, or take chances OF hololnB over
for next week, which plan would ap-
pear improbable, In view OF the pres
ent checked up condition OF the peer
trade at all points.
Cattle sold Thursday at prices large
ly $1,000 cents lower than Monday, and
the decline was fort most severely on
good to choice grades, steers at $500
@6.s5, showing decline of close to 81
cents from the best prices Of the week.
while most Of the lower grade cattle
sold at a smaller loss. Whether or not
this big drop in prices can be regained
in The near future is problematical.
the demand at present is much
weaker than at ordinary times. ana
only very small volume of arrivals
suffiees to fill orders, tho the slim in
ouiry ruling this week has not been
normal end with return of the US
ual buying strength, statesmen feel that
some reaction in values may soon pc
had. tho offerings Of cattle must be held
down in keeping with the reduced out
r.. or still further loss may be sus-
tanned.

in a shipment of hogs Thursday and
expressed himself as being we'll pleased
with Chicago markets. He says there
will be increased receipts of hogs from
their country after the holidays. but
temporarily the marketable cattle and
hogs are in light supply.
J. C. Hill, of Abel, was in with a
shipment of stock He reports the de-
mand for feeding cattle slackening up
some and attributes it to the high
prices of the new crop of corn is being
held at. He says along the line of
the Rock Island, in Iowa, corn is sell
ing freely at 80 cents, and along the
main line of the Milwaukee it is SELL
ing largely at 30G31 cents, but In their
locality it is held at 35 cents. and cat
tie feeders are not willing to pay the
price. He says there will be no cattle
to come this side of the holidays, ana
