SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK, June s.-Receipts
THE IRON MARKET
ALMOST A DEADLOCK BETWEEN BUYERS
AND SELLERS OF PIG IRON

New York, June S-The Iron Age says:
What is almost deadlock between buyers
and sellers Of pig iron continues, the. only fair
degree of activity being in the Chicago dis
trict. Virginia furnaces have sold there and
in ST. Louis basic pig to the extent of about
4 1000 TONS and inquiry for this class of iron
is cropping up in other directions. The Biz
mingham market is weaker.
1.-THE absence of demand for pig iron by the
large steel companies is causing pressure upon
the market the part of merchant furnaces
who usually supply them and who are now ac-
cumulating metal.
'tThe market for steel is easier. moderate
amount of additional tonnage has come up in
plates and shapes. Among the larger orders
placed is one lot Of 10000 tons for plant in
Milwaukee"

Railroads Use SnOwplows.

ST. PAUL, May 5.-Weather condi.
tions in the northwest, particularly in
North Dakota, Montana and north to
Winnipeg, have been very unusually
cold during the past twenty.four
hours. There was very heavy fall
of wet snow in that section ranging
in depth from six inches to foot.
Rotary snowplows were used on some
branches OF the Northern Pacific to
clear the tracks of snow. The running
of snowplows on these branches at
this time of the year breaks all pre-.
vious records. The snow is consid.
cred by the farmers as great bless.
ing. as the ground was very dry, and
a good crop is looked for.

Grizzlies Arc Scarce.

NEWCASTLE, Col, May 5.-Presi.
Roosevelt will return to the White
house disappointed in one respect re.
garding his Colorado hunting trip,
for unless some grizzly deliberately
drops his nose in front of the "nighty
hunter" no other mountain monarch
will fall victim to his rifle. The pres.
ident's plans to change camp have
been altered by fierce blizzard which
broke out with fresh vigor last night,
and the snow being damp. no horse is
sure of his foothold and travel in the
hills is almost impossible for man or
beast.
II possible some hunting will be
done tomorrow, but the present OUT
look is that President Roosevelt will
be able to do nothing more than to sit
in camp and say naughty words about
the weather, possibly play whist and
then ride to Newcastle, thence going
to Glenwood tomorrow night.

Britt Wins Championship.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-James
Britt, Of California, became light
weight champion of the world tonight,
when he knocked out Jabez White, of
England, at the close of q magnificent
20.round battle. With just two Sec
onds to 60 Britt hooked the English
man with left hook on the jaw, and
the foreigner went to the mat where he
lay fat on his back for eight seconds.
He staggered to his feet, but power
less to defend himself, and Britt
swung right and left on his jaw. The
referee to save the plucky Englishman
from needless punishment stopped the
contest, although White was still on
his feet, leaning up against the ropes
in helpless condition.
Britt's victory was, of course, loud.
ly acclaimed by the people of his home
town, but White, though a defeated
man, was cheered just as vociferously
for the magnificent fight he made. All
through the battle White showed he
was entitled to compete for champion.
ship honors. He is a clever boxer,
an experienced ring general and has a
cool head that carried him out of diff
Guilty many times. He seemed to lack
however, one requisite for champion
"a knockout blow.
