Today's Market Was Fairly Ami.
mated, But Prices Are Lower
Than Last Week
RECEIPTS HAVE BEEN HEAVY
Hog Supplies Have Fallen OFF and
Prices Have Advanced, but Today
There Was Reaction and Values
Broke S to 10 cents-sheep Active
and Prices Steady.

Chicago, May -Cattle-Reeeipts
so far this week have been rather
heavy and the demand has failed tc
show a corresponding increase. prices
weakened and are now largely % lowei
than the close of last week. Today's
market was faily animated at steady
prices. sales being made at yesterday :
declines.
Foreign prices have declined sharp
ly this week, and export orders have
been considerably curtailed, while the
continued dull demand for meats IN
eastern quarters also held buying by
the shippers down to rather small
volume. The local houses were very
Indifferent bidders for all classes OF
cattle, and offerings of all but the
strictly choice steers were quite glut
to the market.
AT the start few special orders
were filed at prices which buyers con-
sidered nearly steady with Monday,
but these formed very small part Of
the trade and later all interests con-
ceeded the general decline noted. Light
steers suffered along with the heavy
kinds, the liberal run affording buy
ers an opportunity to force prices for
all kinds down to a lower leyel.
Hogs.
Supplies have fallen off and prices
have advanced the last two days on
good shipping and local demand, but
there was a reaction today and values
broke 5M1O. The market was fairly
active early, but the close was ex-
tremely dull.
Early in the day yesterday the esti-
mate was 2t.0O0 but later it was cut to
$4,000. This supply was considerably
under overnight expectancy and indf-
Gates that the country rs by no means
panicky on the hog question. The ear
ly market was the best, spectators
and shippers making it. When they
got thru packers showed no DISPOSE
ton to follow the advance, and. most
of the appreciation melted away. BY
the middle of the session the biggest
half Of the opening advance had been
lost despite the cutting down of the
estimate.
Sheep.
With moderate supply and active
general demand, prices were steady,
sales being made at yesterdays late
which were in numerous
instances 1905 below Tuesdays
best.
For the first time in two weeks live
mutton trade evinced signs of weak
ness. Receipts We're not heavy, the
half week supply being 1000 less than
last week, but the adverse influence
of grassers at river points was de-
tected without difficulty. The early
activity which has character
lied recent markets, was lacking, buy
ers being more deliberate in their op-
CREATIONS, and bringing considerable
pressure to bear. All morning sparring
for and against lower prices was con-
spicuous, but resistance was strong
and in many instances steady prices
were paid. Clipped lambs sold up to
$6.75, Tuesdays best price, wethers
made $5.25 and ewes s5.15 all quota
tons representing the full extent OF
the recent advance, which was about
IS cents on lambs and IS cents on
sheep from the low point up to Tues
day.

Bilious Bill was getting bloated,
And his tongue was muchly coated.
Patent "tonics" wouldn't cure him,
Companies would not insure him.

For Bill said-and they believed him.
EARLY RISER pills relieved him.

es, California, Representing Citrus
Fruit Growers of Southern califor-
MIA, Argues For Government Con-
troll of Freight Rates.

Washington, May 1S.-George f.
Meade of Boston, president of the Ma
tional League of Commission Mer-
chants, before the senate interstate
& Co. in some cases charged several
railroads $3.50 per ton of freight for
the ice used aud paid the roads re-
bate of 81 per ton. Refrigerating and
freight charges, he said, were consol-
idated in one bill, the different items
not being Specified.
Joseph S. Call, an attorney, of Los
Angeles, CAL, representing seventy per
cent of the citrus fruit growers of
southern California, appeared to urge
empowering the interstate commerce
commission to supervise rates, estab-
iish maximum rates, and put them in
effect until passed upon by a court, in
accordance. he said, with the recon-
mendations Of the president. He MAIN
tanned that the private car lines We're
agents of the railroads. and the rail-
roads should be held responsible for
the acts of the car lines.
Satisfied With Conditions.
A. A. Tollerton, of Sioux City, a
merchant, testified to satisfaction with
the existing conditions.
David A. Wilburton, of Pittsburg,
Pa, a member of the Pennsylvania
state senate, and a fruit dealer, said
that the Armour car line furnished q
satisfactory service, and that freight
charges, did not enter into the price OF
ply and demand.
G.. NJ. Brown, of California, repre-
senting the lemon interests in his state
said that Paul Morton, now secretary
of the navy, but then an official of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
in q consultation with lemon shippers
on the Pacific coast, asked If a dollar
rate would save the lemon crop. Be-
ing informed that it would, that the
rate was made. Mr.. Brown insisted
that oranges could be carried as
chea ply as lemons. He was satisfied
with the Armour car lines, but the
railroad rates were too high.
st. Paul Registers "kick." I
Joseph Bartle, of st. Paul, Mimi, an
oil shipper, testified that st. Paul and
were not treated fairly in
the matter of rates He said he
thought the Standard Oil Company got
a concession from the railroads. The
rate on oil. he declared, was advanced
at the request of the Standard Oil
Company from IL cents to 20 cents per
hundred.
f. D. Boies. of Chicago, assistant
traffic manager of the Illinois Central
railroad, discussed the difficulty of the
of rates because of the
of water and rail rates. He
declared that it would be impossible
for the commission to fix rates.
