TRAVELLING EAST
JAPANESE WARSHIPS SIGHTED
Balance Of Russian Fleet Believed to
Be Taking the Southern Route
Through sunda Straits to
Avoid Torpedo Attacks
BY Associated Press.

SINGAPORE, Straits Settlement,
April 1O.-The latest information in
regard to the Russian squadron COM
manded by Rear Admiral Enquist.
which passed here Saturday afternoon,
was brought here today by the British
steamer Gregory Apear. The latter
yesterday sighted the Russian ships
twenty miles northeast of Manki, one
of the islands of the Anambas group,
about $50 miles northeast of Singapore.
The Russians were at anchor when the
Gregory Apcar passed them.
Information has also been received
here to the effect that four warships,
apparently Japanese, were off Cape St
James, near Saigon, April Z.

Russians Are Not Worried

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 11.-Rus-
sia's information regarding Rojestven-
sky's fleet, its location. destination and
intentions, is based solely on foreign
kilograms.
Some naval officers conjecture the
four batteships are delaying in order
to effect juncture with Vice Admiral
Nebogatoff's division, but generally
credence is given to the report that
the battleships are taking a southern
route through the Sunda straits. the
selection of the Singapore route being
regarded as in the nature of feint
and to minimize the danger of tor
pedo boat attack on the main stays
of the fleet.
Nothing is procurable in regard to
the whereabouts of the battleship Kniaz
Souvaroff and other Russian warships
reported to be missing from the squad
ron which passed Singapore. 1t is said
they may be forming a second division.
No anxiety is manifested at the ad-
miralty, where the Associated Press
| was INFORMED IN reply 10 question
that "the foreign press and the jap
anese were probably more worried
about the location of the vessels than
we are"
There is reason to believe that Rp-
jestvensky is on board the Kniaz Sou
varoff and that the division which
passed Singapore Saturday is in COM
mand of a rear admiral.

Live Stock Report,

Following is the special weekly re.
port to the Argus by Sinclair, Gillett
& Co., live stock commission merch.
ants of Chicago:
'Uneveness has featured this week s
cattle market. The active market of
Monday on a 1O@15c advance was
followed by weak trade on Tuesday
and dime lower market Wednesday.
Thursdays trading was conducted ON
a steady though weak basis with re-
ceipts at $500 of which nearly 5000
were range cattle. Today's market is
more active and values generally
stronger Receipts of westerns for
the week stand about 10000 against
$500 last week, while comparison
in values shows no quotable change.
Native SUPPLIES have materially de-
creased, the total number of offerings
here this week being but 5000 more
than that of last and when the sup
ply Of 10000 rangers is deducted, a
market decrease of natives is shown.
It is evident that corn belt feeders
are unwilling to place their offerings
on the market in competition with
western range cattle. The cost of pro-
duction of natives is much higher than
those from the range, and they do not
feel disposed toward extensive mar
keting at this juncture, as in many
instances range cattle have been TAX
en- in preference to natives of equal
flesh and quality. Packers are well
pleased with results obtained, their
percentages showing range beef COM
paratively cheaper than native, al
though many are bruised owing to
frequent loading on transit consequent
to the 20 hour law. Many of our
offerings disposed of through this
source have met sale highly salts.

approach of cooler weather, we look

"Thursday's receipts from Montana
were unexpectedly large. A general
opinion pervaded trade that but few
cattle could be expected from that
state until some settlement of the
telegrapher's strike had been effected,
but the railroads seem to be getting
their trains through by means of a
telephone system without much de-
lay, and liberal SUPPLIES may be ex-
pected from that section from now

day were concluded at virtually the

not be considered as fair criterion

0un'a Wool Review

Following Is Dun's current review
of the wool market:
According to the monthly circular
of Coates Brothers, of Philadelphia,
the average of one hundred grades
of domestic wool was 28a cents on
August 1, against 1888 a year ago.
and 21A two years ago. The present
level is not only far above all rec
ords for recent years, but four cents
above the highest point in 1899 and
1890, the two years Of great strength
and activity. Although mills are well
supplied with raw material, there is
steady demand that keeps quota
lions tending upward despite less sup
port from London. While the new
clip comes to market freely. it is read
lily absorbed by dealers and manufac-
turers. There is no prospect of liber-
al offerings, nor can moderate scar
city be avoided except by heavier i'm
portatiOns than are now in progress.
BOston-Wool continues active, al
though the volume of business is not
as large as last week. Yet 1t has in
cluded some big lines of Montana, Wy
Oming and other territory, mostly in
the original bags. There has also
been much completing of contracts
previously made, subject upon arrival
of the wool to the buyers approval.
New business has been large and do
nestle fleeces have been in better re-
quest. Two large lines of South Amer
lean wool, one of crossbreds and one
OF MontevideO fine. have been sold.
The market is very firm at full pre-
yiOllS prices thOuph One.oua ri or blood
and below in domestic fleece is not
selling at the extreme rates of last

on the finer grades, all wOrsted woods
