CHICAGO Horse Market.

The estimated receipts for the first
two days of the current week aggre-

554 for the corresponding date last
year. While the early run of the week
is 423 head below the first two days re-
ceipts last week they exceed the ar
rivals the same dates last year by sol
heard The sharp decline in common
offerings and the sympathetic weak
ness of the better classes which feat
ured the trade last week, have operated
to check the enormous receipts which
promised to characterize the big con-
signments the current month. The
general tone of trade is fairly station
ary at the decline of last week. Cons

Demand Was Not Good and the
Market Continued to De-
cline, Except For Best
SHIPPING TRADE WAS FAIR
Quality Of the Native Steers Was Not
As Good as on Monday-Too Many
Hogs and Belief That Prices Are
Too High Caused Weak Tone to
That Market Today.

Chicago, Aug. 16.--The demand for
cattle was comparatively slow, mac
tivity being rendered more noticeable
by the fact that the run was the heav-
lest for Wednesday in many weeks. In
both the native and westerns division
the market looked lower, initial bids
by packers and shippers being 10@15
under the prices they were willing to
pay the previous day. The quality Of
native steers was not so good as on
Monday. Shipping trade was fair, but
export demand was meagre.
The total receipts of western rang
ers UP to Tuesday stands at 10000,
against arrivals of 27,234 week ago
and 22,961 a year ago. Under market
ing of such liberal volume the weak
turn to the trade yesterday did not
come unexpectedly and the dullness in
the market plainly indicated that
slaughterers have no need for big re-
ceipts and the trade pendulum later
this week is likely to swing the wrong
way in case of continued liberal Offer
ings. The big run of western rangers
has already weakened the market in
that line and lower prices there may
influence drop for the natives.
Hogs.
Too many hogs and a feeling of bear
ishness, induced by the belief that
hogs were too high and were naturally
destined to reactions caused continu-
alton Of the weak tone developed yes
terday and prices took another slump
of 10 cents.
Sheep.
The demand for sheep and lambs
showed no sign of abating and prices
took another up-turn, landing on lew
ell 1O@15 higher than on the previous
day.

Ina relations of Ireland to Eng
 land, of Poland to Russia, of Hun gary to Austria, of Norway to Sweden, ought to provide valu- able suggestion to those who would submit Arizona to the political
 dominance of New Mexico. Tue son Citizen.
 And yet O'Brien Moore, the editor of the Citizen, calls himself a thinking, reasoning man, and expects to appeal to thinking, reasoning men with rot like the above.
 Right in Tucson, the business men, who pay exorb.tant freight rates, and find their town dis criminated against, have embraced joint-statehood, because they want a blg state, with a constitution modelled on that of Texas, which instrument provides an elective railway commission, with constitu- tional powers, that regulates freights and fares and prevents discrimination. Mir. Moore may shout freland7 and Poland" and Hungary" and Norway" forever, that cry cannot silence the ir refutable logic Of facts such IS study of freight tariffs in Arizona gives to business men. Doctor Mark Rodgers pumpkins are a sample. To ship pumpkins from Elgin in Santa Cruz county to Tucson in Pima county, costs nearly double the rate on the same commodity from Los Angeles to Tucson, distance nearly five times as great. THE OASIS would ask Mir Moore if he believes that the way to build up Arizona?
 And while asking questions of Mir. Moore TIE OASIS would like to ask the gentleman why lumber and timber from the mills in northern Arizona are never sold in southern Arizona7 In the northern part of the terri tory are extensive forests and great saw mills. Yet their product never finds its way to Southern Arizona, where millions of feet of lumber and timber are consumed annually. Instead of opening this great Arizona market to Ar'zone forest owners anu lumber manufacturers 1t is sup piled from mills and forests in northern California and southern Oregon, (which are said to be owned and operated by corpora tions controlled by high officials of the Southern Pacinc) one thousand miles further away. Will Mr. O'Brien Moore inform an awaiting public why this situation should continue?
 With statehood -eyen accepting of New Mexico-there ! will be an elective railway com with constitutional pow CTS to regulate freights and fares. That commission will so regulate

Oh ESAPEAKE LETTER.

Dear Ricketts,: Never before has on
place presented the same business APP
peaIance as it has since the commence
ment of the Spring Trade upon the
canal. The number of Underwater
boats" passing through here this sea-
son has been greater than ever before,
amounting | learn. to between fourte
and sixteen hundred. within the last six
Or eight weeks. Immense quantities of
pine wood are also passing to the Phila-
delphia market from parts of Virginia
and Maryland.
There has been as yet, comparatively,
but a small quantity of timber through
NE canal, owing, | believe, to the low
stage of water in the Susquehanna.
The new locks are at last completed,
aAd in active operation. The new house
