LIVE STOCK NOTES

The export market for sheep is in good
condition. Values at Liverpool advanced
lc' a pound last Wednesday.
Sheep Commissioner F. D. O'Neil Of
Custer county has reported lambs as
being scarce. He states that there are but
205,000 lambs in that county, which will
not counterbalance the 100000 shipped out
and the $4,000 destroyed by wolves and
coyotes. This last item doubles the num-
Der destroyed in like manner last year and
represents cash value of $4,000. The
depredations of wolves and coyotes upon
the f1ocks in all parts of Montana has
shown marked increase this year over
what it was last.
The report comes from the south side
of the Missouri river, says the Glasgow,
Mont, Review, that out of 10000 sheep
which the Thomas Cruise company put
in there last summer, only 5000 can now
be accounted for, and these are in imni-
nent danger of going with the majority
1T appears that the company went into the
winter without any hay and depended en-
tirely on the grass for the wintering Of
their focks. Mr.. Cruise is the well-know1

Live poultry developed slightly lower

TOPS In BUTTER
RANGE LOWER
DEPRESSED CONDITIONS IN EAST
AFFECT MARKET LOCALLY.
The Egg Situation Holds to a Steady
Basis, with an Unlimited Outlet
Bad Roads Said to Be Holding Back
Stock in Farmers Hands-Fruit
List Is Fairly Active.

The cloud of weakness that hung over
the butter situation last week. developed
into a decline on Thursday of u cent,
followed by another half on Friday. The
very peculiar conditions existing at eX-
IRENE eastern points is hard to account
for, as the general production is not
showing enough increase to cause mar
ketS to go to pieces so early in the sea-
son. Up to within day two local re-
ceipts have cleaned up nicely, and re-
ceivers have been able to get outside
prices. The fact of the matter is that
great many creamerieS in Minnesota have
been driven to the extremity of seeking
some other market than New York, as
not only Minneapolis, but Chicago as
we'll have quoted higher prices than the
Gothamites. Outside Of creamery extras
and firsts, the butter list has shown good
tone, with no decline in price. Diaries
are selling extremely well at quotations,
but buyers prefer the better quality of
goods, and mediums show some dragging
tendencies Packing stock has been in
good request all week, and the market
is actually cleaned up closer on this grade
to-day than has been the case for many
months.
The egg market Is barren Of new fea-
lures. The call Is sufficiently active tc
hold values steady, altho as yet storage
buyers are not getting the bulk Of the
stock coming. Quotations are II cent I'M
der that Of last week, but do not show
any tendency to go lower Immediately.
Cheese is on a weak basis, offerings
continuing heavy on twins and flats of al
grades, and lower prices are more thar
likely to develop. Factories are quoting
prices way under the figures paid fol
stocks In hand by jobbers at the presen
time. which puts them In a bad way
so far as making profit is concerned
October makes no longer have thu
preference, as new goods are gaining II
favor, and from now on some very low
prices will undoubtedly be made on cheese

Dr.. strauss Here Monday.

To hear Richard Strauss in recital Of
that celebrated composers songs, to be
given at Plymouth church, Monday even
ing, April II, will be a treat that no music
lover in the twin cities will willingly miss.
DR.. Strauss personality is SO unique, his
position in the musical world both as
director and composer is so peculiar, and
his musical PHILOSOPHERS are SO far in adj
vance Of what the world has heretofore
held, that his coming will be an epoch in
the musical life Of the northwest.
While the compositions of this wonder
full man are such as to arouse intense APP
probation and interest among musical
people, it is by his songs that DR.. Strauss
will be most known and best beloved.
They seem to possess wealth of feeling,
and the accompaniment which he has
furnished are so peculiarly part Of the
songs themselves, that the appearance OF
DR.. Strauss who will play as his wife
sings, will afford a wonderful treat to those
present. The inclusion Of "Enoch Arden"
on the program will be also greatly ap-
/ precated. Lewis Shave is to read the
poem, Dr. Strauss himself, playing his fa-
nous musical setting.

see a chance to get their cattle away from
high priced corn, there will be less incen-

steers, relieved of this burden, will hardly
fail to rise from the disastrously low level
at which it has dragged now for months,
or since prices for corn rose to a height
that rendered the sale of corn more at
tractive proposition of farmers than con-

ers had hung onto their corn and contin-

steers of poor beef quality, there is no
telling how far above present prices the
