Market Was About Steady, How
ever---Best Cattle Off 10 to
Is Cents
HEAVY BEEvEs TOO NUMEROUS
Largest Decline Has Been In Cattle
Selling Between s5.25 and 5000
Prices of Hogs About 15c Under
Wednesdays Best Time and Trade
In Sheep Was Slow.

Chicago, Sept. IA. = Cattle = Too
large supplies have caused prices to
average 15@25c lower than at the close
last week, but the market was about
steady, although not active today, on
a basis of $50 @6.35 for poorest to best
farm-fed steers. Heavy beeves have
been much too numerous and have
sold off sharply, being Disseminated
against. The largest decline has been
in cattle, selling between SIS and 600,
but even the best cattle are off 100
15c.
Hogs.
Aggregate offerings Of hogs were
rather large and prices were about 15c
under Wednesdays best time.
Sheep.
Trade was again slow at weak to
10@15c lower prices for the bulk of
the offerings. Best lots were offered
sparingly, as usual, and then went at
firm prices.

N DIFFICULTIES.
May Take Twenty Years to complet
the BIG Waterway.


Washington, Sept. 14.-It is the be-
lief of Isthmian canal employees now
in the canal zone that 1t will cost ST.
000, 900, 900 and will take twenty years
to construct the Panama canal. In
the end, it is believed by these per-
sons, the work will have to be turned
over to the engineer corps of the army.
The cost Of labor alone, it Is said, will
be about twice what it is in the Unit
ed States.
This is figured out by an employe
now at Panama, who writes as follows:
Employees who receive here salaries
of, say $4,000 or $1,000 per annum,
would be glad to secure transfers to
home posts at half as much pay. Many
of them are going home without the
assurance Of transfers.; still more are
taking steps to secure transfers On any
terms possible"
Since June, it is said. more salaried
employees and laborers have left the
isthmus than landed there. The writer
of the above states in a letter received
here that John F. Stevens, the new
chief engineer Of the canal, made an

EXPECT GOOD SHOOTING.
Flight Of Ducks Promise Good spor
in Northwest.

IN H.
Special to Times-Repubiican.
Spirit Lake, Sept. IA. = Hunters in
this part of the state are looking for
a large flight Of ducks in a few weeks.
The iocks they say are already form
ing in the north lakes for the long
journey to the winter home in the
southern states and as soon as the first
really cold wave comes it will drive
them this way by the thousands.
Prairie chickens which were thought
to be so plentiful about the fields Of
county are reported to be
very scarce. Where the birds went to
cannot be ascertained as they were
much in evidence in the early summer
months. 1t is expected that this falls
shooting will be much better than last
wear as the rains have filled ponds and
lakes we'll and ducks and geese will
light well in this part of the state. It
is often that the birds linger here in
this county for weeks before starting
southwark.

MILLERs WIN A POINT.
Dissolution Of the Flour Pool Among
the Railroads.

Dissolution Of the Flour Pool Among
the Railroads.
New York, Sept. 14.-The dissolu-
ton yesterday of the flour pool of the
Kansas City railroads, which has been
in existence for several months, ac-
cording to all reports, is considered a
great victory from the export stand
point by the Millers' National Fedora
ton. Secretary A., L. -Goetzmann is
now in this city and slys that from
present indications it is certain that
flour millers are going to make q hard
fight this season for profitable export
business.
Millers brought the Kansas City
situation to the attention of the in
terstate commerce commission, as q
violation of the Elkins aw and the
Sherman anti-trust act. and the rail-
roads decided to abandon the pool
rather than submit to investigation, SO
1t was said here.
On account of the poor wheat crop
last year millers failed to accomplish
any export business Of moment. and
under the present favorable conditions
naturally they are looking for large
business this year., and propose to ex-
ercise all powers at their command to
that end.
Officers of the millers' federation
yesterday said that the outlook was
promising for a revival of export trade
in American flour. The only menace to
it is the danger that the American
railroads will give a lower rate to
wheat than to -four, and thereby ena-
BILE foreign millers to obtain raw ma
terials at a price that can overcome
American competition.
