Montezuma, March 1.-THE air is
full of changes here, people moving In

few days ago the hardware firm of

business and Mr. Pearce is undecided
as to his next move, but says he has

he undertakes anything else. John

Receipts Were Small Today and
Prices Unchanged--Week a
Good One For Sellers
GAIN OF 10 TO rs WAS MADE
There Was a Good Local and Shipping
Demand for Hogs at Fridays Range
of Prices--The Market for the Week
Showed Some Gains-Fair Demand
for Sheep.

Chicago, March 11.-Cattle - There
We're not enough cattle here today to
make a market and prices were mostly
normal. The close of the week finds
beef steers firm on a basis of 3.40@
4.40 for the poorer class of light
weights and 4.5O@5.2O medium grades,
5.25@6.25 good to extra. Prices are
largely 1O@15 higher than week
ago.
Trade generally has good strong tone
in all classes of steers and particularly
the light weights, though much heavier
supplies than those now coming will
likely force a setback to the range, say
traders and very extensive shipping in
the next week should be guarded
against in order to avert wide nuctua-
tons from the present very satisfact-
ory level of values.
Hogs.
There was a good local and shipping
demand at yesterdays range of prices,
closing a trihe higher than week ago,
with bulk Of sales at 4.95@5.05.
Hog trade has been in fairly good
shape all week. 1t has been the high
est market of the year. Shipping de-
mand has slackened, but there has been
a corresponding decrease in receipts.
Five day supply is approximately 49,
1SS, against 1914 last week and 109,-
S77 a year ago. Unless $4,000 arrive
today, the weeks receipts will be
under packers estimates, as they were
looking for 100000. Shippers have
taken about $4,000, against 57,772 last
week and 642,74s a year ago. The first
two days Of the week developed con-
siderable strength, the market showing
SOLO cent advance each day. On
Tuesday ss.221s, the high spot of the
year, was paid for several loads Of
heavy. Wednesday say break, the
extreme decline being SOLO cents. Part
of this was regained yesterday, put
ting the market on average 500 cents
under the high spot of Tuesday, espec-
tally on shipping account, those grades
getting more of the market strength
than heavy early in the week, but
showed the most weakness yesterday.
Sheep.
There was fair demand at un-
changed prices.
Sheep market talent is hoping for
lighter receipts of lambs next week,
Should this occur there is prospect
of recovering some of the recent loss.
Supply of lambs has been proper
tionately much larger than sheep. Good
>to choice have sold at a range at $7.35
@7.75, the top at the close being $3.50.
Feeders and shearers have indicated
faith in the future of the market and
have taken quite lot of lambs at 81
@7.25 to shear and finish for market
ing again further east.
During the corresponding week Of
1904 the best lambs sold at Sc, being
the same as the previous week, and
$1.15 lower than in 1908, when s7.15
was the top. In the same week of
1902 top lambs sold at $3.50. In the
same week of 1901 the top was $5.45
and five years ago the best western
lambs sold at $3.50.

PEACH CROP killed
Severe Weather Has Destroyed
the Peach Buds In Most
Parts Of Iowa
pLuMs ALSO ARE DAMAGED
Other Fruit Crops Believed to be In
Good Condition and to Have Suffer
ed No Ill Effects From the Cold =
Secretary Wesley Greene Has Pre-.
pared Report.
Special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Marcll 1.-Wesfey
Greene, state horticultulist, yesterday
from the preliminary reports made to
him prepared an estimate on the fruit
condition. Another will oe made up in
a few days based on the full report.
The preliminary report, which is based
on about one-third of tie reports that
are expected from over the state,
shows that the peaches are very badly
damaged and the crop this year will
amount to practically nothing. The
condition of the fruit is fixed at twelve
per cent on the preliminary reports.
Mr.. Greene believes that the trees are
not killed and will merely have to be
cut back, but there will be no crop
this year. The other fruit, however,
has suffered little damage, except
plums. The apples are in good condi-
ton and the STRAWBERRIES which were
protected by snow during all the Sc
verely cold weather are also in good
condition. Raspberries and blackber-
ries suffered some little damage but
to all appearances from the present
condition there will be a food crop. APP
pies, strawberries and the American
varities of plums are fixed at 90 per
cent, cherries 81, the European and
Japanese plums 16 ani 63, pears rs,
grapes (uncovered) Is, red raspberries
20, black raspberries 70, blackberries
rs. Some few have reported from var
ious sections of the safe that mice
have gnawed the bari. of the fruit
trees. This is supposed to have been
due to the deep snow anG their inability
to get anything else to eat. 1t is not
believed by Mr.. Greene that the dam
age from such source will be found
to be great.
Corn Judging at Fair.
For the third time the state fair this
year will have corn Judging contest
for farm boys and will give the same
prizes as last year. The principal prize
is 5000 in cash at the rate of s25 a
month, provided the boy attends the
State College at Ames. The money is
paid by the treasurer o. the college on
the order of the president. The mon
ey is ample to send Il boy thru the
year and there is growing to be very
decided rivalry among the boys of the
state to capture the prize The fair
association expects very many more
contestants this year.
