Winnipeg, March 1.-THE situation
Of the wheat crop Of 1904 at the present
time is about as follows: In all 29,000,-
900 bushels marketed in Winnipeg,
6,75O,0O0 are stored in interior eleva-
tors, about 25O, 900 are in transit unin-
spected. This accounts for about 49,
100000 bushels Of the crop, 100000
are required for seed and 100000 for
country mills, leaving about 100000
In lake terminal elevators there is
stored 100000 against three and three
quarter million at the same date last
year, and Of this wheat 100000 bush
els are of standard grades. For the
month Of February ITO more cars. of
wheat were inspected at Winnipeg than
during February, 1904. Receipts at in
terror elevators are about 100000 bush
weeks there have been representative
gatherings of farmers at Winnipeg,
Neepawa and Brandon in connection
with the livestock conventions. These
gatherings represent farmers from all
parts Of Manitoba and few from the
Northwest Territories. Conversat1ons
with many Of them revealed the fact
that they intended to hold on to most
Of the wheat in their hands until after
seeding unless the price was very tempt
Country mills are all busy and the
large mills such as Ogilvies, Lake Of the
Woods and Hudson Bay company, all re-
port an exceptionally active domestic
demand for flour Of all grades.
Feed is abundant thruout the west,
the cattle have wintered in splendid
condition, quite number of punches
of steers running 800 and 400 each are
being feed in the open in sheltered
fcult to find more thrifty cattle. These
will bring their owners 4A@41ac at
their own station, giving profit OF
about $16@l8 head on 3 and 4-year-
old steers Very considerable amounts
Of small wheat and "off- color' barley
have been got rid of in this way, and
are making a handsome profit for the
farmers. There is growing DISPOSE
ton to bring cattle in from the Alberta
ranges and finish them in Manitoba for
the British market. The feeding of
baby beef is. past the experimental
stage, and each year now will see an in
crease in this branch of animal hus-
wheat grown, but the increase of cattle
feeding win tend to more care in the
details Of farming, farm hands will be
kept all winter in larger numbers, and
the results will be more careful cultiva-
ton of farms and thereby larger yields
from smaller acreages.
New settlers, especially from Ontario
and the maritime provinces, are already
locking in and immigration officials
have their hands full. The class main.
ly coming in from Ontario are expert

Sioux City Stock Yards, Sioux City,
Iowa, March IL, 2 p.m.-Receipts Of
cattle the past week were the heaviest
of the year SO far and show a gain Of
$500 cattle over the corresponding week
of 1904. A total of $500 cattle were on
sale and of this number quite large
percentage Of the offerings were killers.
The stocker market opened the week
with 1870 head on sale and there was
good strong demand for the good feed
ers and heavier weight yearlings Of
good quality. This class Of cattle were
bought up readily at last week s best
prices and 1915 to 81 was paid for the
best feeders - with y yee5arlings as high as
liberal marketing Of plain steers on sale
and owing to the liberality Of the re-
ceipts sales on this class Of cattle ruled
1Oc to l5c lower, selling from So to
$3.4O. The common steers Of all
weights were naturally slow but good
clearance was made each day at $3.50
to SO. The heifer market ruled barely
steady with last week g closing quota
tions with sales at 50 to $2.75. The
trade generally has been very satisfac-
tory, as there has been good country
demand, and cattle have found good
outlet each day. The dealers close the
week with good clearance and in fact
there are orders on hand for strictly
good steers that went untitled owing to
lack Of the desired quality.
The fat cattle market has shown an
upward tendency. The runs were lib
prices for the daily buys. At the close
of the week steers are l5c to zoe higher
while the better class Of butcher stock
is generally l0c to l5c higher than last
week s closing quotations. Gamers anc
fair cows found good outlet but prices
show little change from those paid al
the end of last week. The best Of the
steers sold at $4.75 to $50 with the
fair to good cattle at 81 to $3.50. The
| light common steers ranged from $3.50
to $3.50. AS high as $40 was pai(
for strictly good butcher stock will
quite few sales at 1915 to 81. Thu
fair to good cows and heifers sold a
So to $500 and Gamers and CUTTER
from 50 to $2.75.
Hogs-The run Of hogs has been lib
eral for this season of the year AM
with total marketing Of $4,000 hog
the run shows very gratifying gail
of 5000 hogs over last year g market
ing for the corresponding week. Tn
market has shown very little fuctuatiol
and prices have been well maintained
An advance of nickel was noted Mon
day and it was not until Friday tina

HOW HILL HELPS SETTLERS
Pure-bred Hogs and Cattle Given Farm
ers Along Great Northern. ~
The World Today.


There are a number of noteworthy in
stances where railroads have ventured
far beyond their province to insure the
new settlers success. EJim' Hill,
president Of the Great Northern rail
way, personally purchased and present.
ed to new settlers along his road in the
Dakotas and in Minnesota, thousands Of
blooded hogs and hundreds of pure bred
cattle. He discovered that most of the
settlers along the Great Northern were
raising wheat, and he saw clearly that
if bad year occurred and q conse-
quent crop failure resulted it would
mean no business for his railroad. Mr..
Hills effort was SO successful that TO-
day the Great Northern carries more
any Of it's competitors, and those same
settlers have money in the banks. An.
other of Mr.. Hill IS hobbies is to send
picked farmers from different communi-
ties along his line in North. Dakota to
the state agricultural college at Fargo,
free Of expense, where they are taught
practical and scientific farming.
al farms at Holdredge, Neb., and at st.
STATIONS are made with the Campbell
system Of deep soil culture. These
farms are maintained for the explicit
purpose Of teaching the new settler how
to intrench himself in the event OF a
dry year. A few years ago the Bur;
ington management became convinced
that the dairy industry meant much to
the Nebraska farmers. Missionaries
were sent among them preaching the
great possibilities for ready and sure
cash in the dairy business, with the
result that, while few years ago nc
I creameries' were located along their line
in that state, over 500 are In operation
today. The Nebraska dairy product!
for 1904 will net the farmers in excess
of $40 100000.

Island and Santa Fe systems are carry
ing on similar campaigns.

MUST WED WITHIN YEAR
Otherwise Marry or Bust League Mem
beers Forfeit 800 Each.
Louisville Courier-Journal.

Louisville COurier-Journal.
Recognizing that true happiness is to
be found only in the marriage relation,
twelve Louisville young men have
formed the League Of Marry or Bust,
each one pledging himself to take a
wife within the year or suffer expulsion
from the league and to pay a fine Of
$780,. Charles J. Hesse was chosen
president Of the league, Joe D. Brad
treasurer. Other members will be &C
cepted in the league, the only object
OF which is to prevent race suicide and
encourage matrimony in young men. :.
While others were making the accus-
toned New Year 8 resolutions, swearing
to remain on the water wagon for a
year, not to smoke or use tobacco in
any form, ETC., Mr.. Hesse and his
friends decided that if man chose
the right kind of a wife, all induce
ments to commit sins and to fall into
the errors Of ordinary men would be
lost, and by agreeing each man to lind
9! wife within the year 1905, they be-
lieve they have prepared themselves to
their fellow citizens to profit by.
The most stringent constitution and
bylaws were adopted by the League
Of Marry or Bust. Every man who
fails to marry within the year will be
fined 800, dishonorably expelled from
the league and will be ostracized by
all the members who have kept thei1
vows. He is to be regarded as MAI
without honor and without intelligence
enough to do that which is best for hin
after taking oath to do it. No excuse
will be accepted, not even if the bach
elor at the end Of the year presents al
affidavit sattino forth that he has beer
unable to find a woman who would have
him for husband. That fact in itself
it is maintained by the league, will b.
sufficient reason for his being shunnet
and the ban of the society will fal
on him. The fines, if there are any
are to be used for fitting out the home
of those who marry within the year.

wise Caution.

New York, Mach 11.-This weeks stock mar
ket has been very depressing affair. Bull
pointers are still being thrown out but much
liquidation Is going on and prices are sagging.
A disposition on the part Of the larger specu-
lat1ve interests to permit the market to look out
Tor Itself for brief period encouraged selling
by room traders and liquidation by lightly mar
gined operators. Should speculation mark time
during the next few weeks the optimistically in
clined would have little fault to find, particular
~ since the large interests apparently not
favorable to further advance at the present
moment. Evidently from the action of the Har-
riman Issues as well the so-called Hill stocks
the Northern Securities decision had not q very
favorable influence. 1t is an old adage in Wall
Street, however,, that stocks generally sell of
when the news is out. Some of the specula-
lively inclined were not convinced that the
matter was definitely settled, or that the Hill
Morgan plan Of distribution would be put thru
In the near future, while others professed to
fear new developments in the northwestern SIT
uation Of an adverse character.
The truth Is that 1t is difficult to infer wheth-
er the contest Ia definitely settled, but it is to
be hoped that such is the case. The direct ef-
court of appeals in overruling the injunction de-
cree granted by single Judge In the New Jer-
sey district, which forbade the distribution of
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern stock
held by the Northern Securities company, pro
rata among the stockholders of the latter. Pre-
sumably, therefore, the officers OF the Securities
company are at liberty to carry out the plans
devised and agreed upon by the directors and
approved by majority in interest of the share
holders: but there may be some new loophole for
continuing a contest which Is not In the interest
Of the public of the body Of stockholders OF
either company, but has for its object the con-
troll Of the Northern Pacific company.
