SHEEP--For a Friday there was liberal
run Of sheep, over twenty fresh cars being
reported In, making the total for the week
TO date heavier by several thousand head
than for the corresponding days OF last
week or a year ago.
The market did not show very much
change as compared with Yesterday. There
was a fair demand for desirable killers
and the most Of the offerings changed
hands In good season. The prices paid
looked Just about steady with yesterday,
but fully 25c lower than a week ago on
sheep. Good wethers such as were SELL
Ing at $500 the high time last week, brought
N.75 today. The lamb market has been
slow all the week and they have suffered
more decline than have sheep, being safely
250i0c lower than last week.
The feeders, like fat stock. did not show
much change IS compared with yesterday,
but they are anyway i5a25c lower than last
week. The demand for feeders appears 10
have let up to some extent. Some buyers.
after trying without success to secure
something have given II up, and others
appear to have been scared out by the
prevailing high prices. The result Is that
the market has gradually eased on.

scervantes as a Slave In Africa.

From "Cervantes, Soldier and Writer"
 by George Edward woodbery, in the
 April McClure's.
 He was first in the eyes of the cap tives to plan. to encourage. and to un- derstand. He was the central plottcr of daring escapes for himself and his com rades, by 'twos and threes. and by scores, by land and by sea. He even dreamed of a general rising, and a Span ish rescue of all the sufferers. The Dey, of Algiers, Hassan, said, Gould he pre- serve himself against the maimed Spain- ard, he would hold safe his Christians, his ships, and his city" He was first, also, in the respect of his masters. Re- peatedly detected he refused to aban- don his attempts; often threatened and with the moose about his neck, in the full peril of such atrocities as he fre- quently saw inflicted with unbroken con- staney on himself Yet he was never once struck
 A certain readiness of testing speech helped perhaps, like Lambs, by his stam- mer-seems to have served him at such times His security, nevertheless. is in- applicable wilder tale than this of his captivity one does not read in books of reality. He was already on board ship for transport to Constantinople, when the long efforts of his good mother, to- gether with the aid of a subscription in Algiers among the merchants by the hands of a Redemptionist Father. bought his freedom. So the decamping court page of twenty came back to Spain at thirty three. a crippled soldier and a ransomed slave.

Southern Iron Meruer.

The southern iron merger is on again and off again on Alternate days. The days it is on are productive of many interest," ing stories and no end of gossip. One ru- nor which gained the ear of the street because of its pausibility was that the Rock Island syndicate had gone into the deal and really taken charge of 1t. The southeastern branch of the Rock Island Frisco road penetrates the Alabama Iron and coal fields and will be the chief bene- ficiary among the railroads from any in crease of tonnage which may result from stimulated activity in manufacture. The Rock Island group is composed of special ists in iron and steel promotion they hav- ing cleared up more than $lOO,OOOON in organizing three of the constituent com panies of the steel trust It is therefore easy to persuade Wall street that they may have a hand in the southern eonsol- idation, although the report is met with earnest denial at If Broadway According to the majority opinion, J. H. Hoadley will be left out of the new deal, the com monly accepted theory being that his holdings will be or have been taken over by the new int erests which have been en- listed In the scheme. It Is also understood that the Hanover bank crowd have been placated and win figure in the combine.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-03-26
Keene and Peoples Gas.

MT. Keene Is said to be taking more than a passive interest in the speculative prospects of Peoples GS. Recent inves- legations have satisfied him that the stock really belongs in the 15O class, and that 1t will eventually be firmly established on that basis, or above. The Bradys and the Billings and all that hard set O. insiders have let it be known that they have no stock for sale and that not a fractional part of their holdings will come on the market under 150. This has induced considerable advance in the stock, the evident purpose being to accumulate shares as cheaply as possible for a move ment later on. The curse which has a1- ways been on Peoples Gas is found in the fact that it is Chicago property. and therefore subject to blackmiling raids by the Illinois legislature and the Chicago aldermanic combine. But for these handi- caps the stock might now be selling as high al New York Consolidated The au- thorized share capita is only s35 600, 0O0 of which S32 000. 0OO has been issued. Its total bonded debt. direct and indirect, is s34. .00O. 800 This makes the entire capital ization $6s5O0,0 900. The company Is earning SIP. 2.000. 900 gross and s5.500 GOO net, and spe- cialists figure that the dlvfdend might just as well be 10 per cent as 6.
 Chicago is suffering from rie evil ef- fleets of local hostility to outside capital, although 1t must be said in defense of the Windy City that this rough-house spirit was subdued some years ago and 1t is no longer rampantly manifest. The hoodoo at the present time is more in the nat Ire of tradition than an actuality. Chicago was among the first of the west

Banking Interests Against Market.

Suspicion that powerful banking inter- ests had turned against the market changed to a certainty this week. For some time past J. P. Morgan & Co.,, Kuhn. Loeb & Co.,, the National City bank and the Hanover bank when asked for coun- sel, have advised friends and clients who had stocks to sell out. and suggesting to those who were bullishly inclined that delay in making fresh purchases would be the profitable course to pursue. At the same time these and allied institutions threw their influence against further ex- of loans, in numerous instances going so far as to call in outstanding money and credits This policy chilled speculative enthusiasm and contributed no little to the reactionary tendency ob servable throughout almost the entire stock list. A concerted effort was made to mark up interest rates, but this move was only temporarily successful. as floods of cash from interior points and from Europe instantly turned this way. 's-&i of the big Chicago banks sent s10,000,000 to New New York in one day and broke the call ate from 4 per cent to 9 per cent. For eign exchange declined sharply and proof was given that America has heavy bal ances in European centers which can be drawn against in a moment.

really applied. As the gas has no odor, one can see how subtle it is. To meet this foe a fan must force down 5000 cubic feet of air per minute, which so dilutes the noxious yapor as to rob 1t of it's power.
 This Lackawanna valley, as well as the Wyoming valley, so experts claim, was once a swampy place, into which, as the centuries rolled by, trees and vegetable matter fell and became peat. They point to the present Dismal swamp of the south as but another similar process As the sand washed down over each success i've layer of carbonated matter, at which time a swollen river coursed its way, it produced pot holes."
