MARKET WAS LOWER
Hog Receipts Were Heavy
Prices Drop a Nickel
HIGHEST FIGURE WASS4.75
No Change in CattIe---Steers
Brought $4.00.

Rogs were five cents lower yesterday
and the receipts were heavier than they
have been for months. All day long car
load after car load was pulled up TO the
chutes. and the wagon deliveries were
equally as numerous. In fact yesterday
was a real hog day and business thus
far Was made quite lively.
But the buyers were backward in their
bidding and therefore placed some of the
commission men in somewhat of an en-
barrassing position. At the close Of the
market all Of the available pens were
full and some of the receipts Were put in
the alleys
ArmoUrs buyer jumped in and bought
a fair sized bunch and for some little
while he had the business running his
way. Toward evening, however, the
other buyers came onto the scene and
got few of the sales
The highest price paid for hogs was
SAB. and the average of the car load
lots went at 81 TO s465. At Kansas City
and oC. Joe hogs were five to ten lower,
and at Chicago there was a terrible
slump, all of which had its effect upon
the market here.
Cattle receipts were quite light, but the
price held up pretty well, considering
everything The market closed steady.

was in strong demand and will bring a
good price at any time.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. April 27.-Todays stock
market was a trivial affair. from what
ever standpoint viewed Dealings fell
still further from yesterdays small total
and the tone and action of the market
were strongly suggestive of the condition
of deadlock prevailing before the North
ern Securities decision was handed down
by the supreme court and were used in
reducing the total sales OF the day 5000
shares on one occasion. Discourag ged
brokers and traders are almost prepared
to see that record broken unless condi-
tions improve.
Narrow and sluggish as todays mar
ket was, il passed through several varia-
tions, showing the vacillation of opinions
on the market. London helped the open
ing advance here by advancing prices of
Americans there, but offered no substan
tial assistance by buying stocks in this
market. The heavy tone of United States
Steel preferred was the effective factor.
checking this advance. The weakness of
steel had as little explanation as at any
time heretofore and opinions varied as
to whether the selling was for short ac-
count by some venturesome trader or was
disguised selling for some large inside
interest based on poor prospects in the
trade. Cnconfrmed reports were circu-
lated this morning that some large or
eastern trunk lines, but this did not pre-
vent a relapse of nearly a point in the
price of the stock The belief that the
Clarion steel purchase was IN process of
completion was offered as a conjectural
explanation of the weakness which was
also shown by the second mortgage
bonds. The open discussion of the hazard
that the preferred dividend will not be
maintained is a weight upon the stock
There were further engagements of
gold for export, bringing the total for
tomorrows steamer up to S25o0.000. and
for the week of SS.l00,QQ0-a figure not
often equaled in past records for weeks
exports. AS the government has not yet
made any requisition upon the funds
cumulated to make the Panama payment
il is evident that as much of the require
ment as has been anticipated by gold
exports or by the provision of exchange
will float into the New York money mar
ket when the government disburses it
San Francisco is again ready to transfer
s1.S5o,0o0 of Japanese gold TO New York.
The flow of currency from the interior
continues unchacked. 1t is difficult to
see therefore, any prospect of an early
change from the condition of redundant
ease in the local money market.
The plethora in the money market in
duces only light demand for some of
the picked bonds. The active list is ir-
regular. Total sales, par value, s2,4l5,000.
United States government bonds were
unchanged on call

BOSSES ARE AFRAID.
Want Rule About Election of County
Chairman Changed.

Chairman Philips has called a meet
ing of the Republican county central
committee for Saturday and he
promises to feed the committeeman IL
they will attend.
The committeeman are wanted, as
there is an important measure under
consideration, and it will probably be
sprung at the Saturday meeting. the
measure is to change the rules under
which the committee celebrates, and
more especially the rule under which
the chairman is chosen.
Some three years ago very 1nno-
cent resolution was offered to the COM
mittee that the rules be changed by a
delegation to be chosen from the COM
mittee. George w. Crane offered the
resolution and was made chairman of
the committee. He prepared a set of
rules and they were adopted without
much attention being paid to them.
Then that the rules might be known,
Mr.. Crane published them in book
form and every committeeman was
supplied.
After the active politicians and
minor bosses looked over the printed
rules they found some startling
changes. One was that the commit
tee be increased to 73 members. An
other was that the chairman be elect
ed at the Republican primaries by
direct vote of the people instead of be-
ing elected by the committee.
The rule providing for the election
of the chairman by the Republican
voters of the county is the rule which
the managers would like to change.
With such a rule the dictators find
trouble in debating to the voters all
over the county, while they can with
less trouble dictate to the members of
the committee whom they snail elect
for chairman.
At the Republican primaries held
last February, H. NJ. Philips, who had
been elected chairman in 1902, was
candidate for reelection. Many voters
did mot agree with the methods he
pursued in the campaign of 1902.
They thought he was unfair and that
a man with different ideas and who
would institute different methods
should be elected. They supported DR..
W. S Lindsay. Criticism of Philips
methods was such that the contest
was very close and the change of but
and elected Lindsay The total vote
for chairman of the Republican COM
mittee was: Philips, 2,651; Lindsay,
2,445.
This was a rather close call for
Philips who was the candidate of the
liberal bosses, who wished to continue
in control of the committee. The
bosses who have dictated for years
Just what the county committee shall
do and who have dictated early pri-
maries against the wishes of some
may lose control of the committee if
the election of the chairman is left to
the voters. The voters might elect a
man who will not receive dictation
from the bosses.
If the rule is changed the dictators
expect to handle the committee in the
future just as they have in the past.

TOPEKA CONTRACTORS GET 1T.
Have an Interesting Controversy at
Lawrence Over Paving.

HaSkins & Ramsey, the Topeka
paving contractors, got about $15, 900
worth of work in Lawrence Monday
night. They were given the work of
paving and grading Berkeley street,
Mississippi street and Pinckney street.
The Lawrence engineer did a queer
thing on the Pinckney street job,
which may provoke a row with the
firm of Hanley & Richie of Topeka,
which was also after the work. The
engineer made a report on the Pinck-
ney street bids for paving, showing
Hanley & Ritchie lower on the whole
job, but showing that if the work was
divided that the bid for grading by
Hanley & Richie and the bid for paw
ing by HaSkinS & Ramsey would make
a still lower price. Mr.. Ramsey then
offered to do the whole job at the price
of his opponents for the grading and
his own price for the paving, and he
was awarded the contract.
