CArILE-As usual on the last DAY of the
week there was nothing OF any Importance
on the sale, the market being practically
bare of supplies of all kinds.
This has been a. week OF large receipts,
the total for the six DAYS footing up
head in excess OF the record for the cor
responding week year ago. While the
big end OF the receipts has consisted OF
western rangers as usual at this season,
there has been quite a sprinkling of cattle
from the FEED lots and pastures of the corn
belt.
The market on beef steers has been in
very satisfactory condition all the week.
Corn fed steers of desirable quality have
been quoted as at least steady every day
this week and occasionally strong, Good
well-hnished loads have sold up to $500.
While range steers were quoted a little
slow and weak one day the market was
stronger again, and at the close of the
week 1t would not be an easy matter TO
point out any material difference between
prices now prevailing and those of a week
ago.
The tendency Of the market on COWS and
heifers has been toward a lower basis,
to day have not been very noticeable. on
Monday the market was quoted as weak
to lower, on Tuesday strong, on Wednesday
and Thursday easier and on Friday steady
Taking the week as whole the market Is
not over l0ql5c lower.
There has been good active demand all
the week for feeders having weight and
good flesh and good to choice cattle OF
that description have been steady to strOng
every day. On the other hand cattle, even
II good, but lacking flesh and light and
thin, as we'll as common stockers and feed.

HOGS-Today' trade on hogs was a good
deal like yesterdays market, that is IL
opened up a little better, with prospects
for higher market and then turned out a
disappointment. AS was the case yesterday
morning buyers picked out the light loads
paying prices that looked little higher
but the trade was not active and 1t was
slow work unloading. After the better loads
were disposed of the market slowed down
and became very dull and weak on heavy
packing hogs. As a whole the market did
not snow much change, the hogs selling in
about the same notches as yesterday.
The hog market has been decidedly I'M
satisfactory this week and still the change
in prices has been very small. On Tuesday
and Wednesday the market was quoted
generally &c lower for each day and every
other day of the week II was slow and
easier. IN fact dullness has been the chief
feature OF the market for some days back
and still at the close OF the week prices are
on an average, only about 10c lower than
they were at the close OF last week Heavy
hacking hogs have been the hardest to sell
and have been neglected to such an extent
on some days that IL was almost impossible
for holders 10 unload Late arrivals at tho
wards have been especially hard to sell as
the market was closed dull and easier al
most every day and anything arriving late
was almost certain to sell lower than the
early market.

NAVAL LAWNS AND
MARINE BARRACKS

Captain Niblack is treating the lawns
at the Naval Station to a layer of soil,
through which the grass is springing
up Iuxuriantly green. This will be cut
down and still another layer added.
This will raise the lawn about three
inches and also freshen the entire
place. The lawn at the Waikiki side
Of the premises will not be touched as
this is now used as a drill ground for
the marines. Should the navy depart
ment decide to erect barracks for the
marine guard, the parade ground will
be utilized for the purpose. Should
the navy people require all the coal
shed space for the storage of coal the
marines may at some future time have
to camp out in tents on the parade
ground.

SHIPPING NOTES.

There is a general expectation that
the steamer Iwalani will return today
from her cruise, about the nature of
which various conjectures have been
offered.
Gerrit Wilder returned yesterday on
the Mauna Loa from Lahaina, after
spending a week there aud IN Lanai.
He went to the latter island on the
Iroquois last Sunday, and with Cap
tain Niblacks party participated in
shoot there which netted them forty
six pheasants and seven turkeys. He
went to Lahaina by whaleboat.

oYAmA TELLS OF TRIUMPH.
The Occupation Of Mukden and Success Of
Surrounding Movement

Toxic. (By Gable e)-Field Marshal
Oyama telegraphs as follows:
I'VE occupied Mlukden at 10 o'clock
Friday morning.
Our surrounding movement, in which
we have been engaged for some days
past has now completely succeeded.
The fercest fighting continues at sew
eral places IN the vicinity OF Mukden.
We captured great number of pris-
oners, enormous quantities OF arms. am
munition, provisions and other war sun
plies. There is at present no time to ny
vestigate the number Of these"
1t is unoficially reported that the Rus
sian strength west of Mukden consists
of two corps. The japanese who de-
stroyed the railroad are pressing the
Russians northward, and the portion OF
the japanese center pressing the Rus
slams northward along the Mukden road
is now engaged six miles north Of the
Hun River
The Japanese have also occupied Fu-
shun. Nearly all the Russians heavy
guns and many field guns have been cap
tured.

ris A. Latta, enrolment clerk at the

was a private resolution The total num-
Der Of enactments during the previous

WEALTH IN OUR COAL MINES.
Hundreds Of Millions of Tons Are Produced
Annually.

Washington, D. c. (Special) The
worlds coal production in 1903 reached
the enormous total of S64,ooo,ooo long
tons, Of which the United States sup
piled more than any other country. Sta
tistics received by the Department of
Commerce and Labor, through its Bu-
reau OF Statistics, indicate that the
worlds output Of coal in 1903 was 864-
100000 tons, OF which the United States
produced 3I9,ooo,ooo tons, against $780,
100000 produced by Great Britain. I6o-
100000 by Germany 100000 by Aus
trai-Hungary and 3s,ooo,ooo by France.
The worlds growth in coal production
is coincident with its growth in COM
merce, indicating the close connection
between coal supply and industry and
transportation. From 1900 to 1850 the
worlds production Of coal was relatively
small and only increased from NJ mil
lion tons at the beginning of that cen
tury to 100000 in 1880; the worlds
commerce meantime increased from ST.
there has been a marked increase in the
production Of coal and an equally nota-
bic expansion OF international commerce.
Coal production has in the last half CEN
tury increased tenfold and commerce
more than iourfold the former increas-
ing from 100000 tons in 1850 TO 864.-
100000 tons in Ioo3 the latter from
$Aooo,ooo,ooo in 1850 TO $22, 10000, 900
in 1903.
The rapid growth in the worlds pro-
duction of coal is even surpassed by the
record of the United States. In 1900,
when anthracite coal was practically un-
known in the United States, the world
was producing over 100000 tons Of
coal per annum. In 1870, when the
worlds coal production amounted to
2I3,ooo,ooo tons, the United States sup
piled but 100000, or about IS per
cent Of the whole, being exceeded by
Great Britain with 100000 tons and
Germany with over 100000 From
1870 to 1903 the growth in the worlds
coal production has been from 2I3ooo,-
600 at the hrst-named year 10 100000
in 1908, a gain Of 65I,ooo,ooo tons, or
over 800 per cent.
