DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards-The
market was fairly well supplied with
cattle last week. Bulk consisted OF
beef steers Of very good quality.
Early trading was brisk and steady.
but the late market was decidedly dull
and steers closed 10 to 10 cents lower,
as it was a case of rather too many fo-
the demand. Best steers sold early in
the day at $40, but few landed
above $4.C0 later, and bulk of the good
Killing kinds went at $4.2o and better.
Cows We're rather scarce and in very
good demand. Prices toward the
close of the week We're little lower.
however, on account of the decline in
steers. Best cows sold around $500
and prices on the good kinds ranged
from this down to $500 Common cows
were very slow sale and dealers com
planned that they were hard to dis
pose of even at the low prices prevail
ing. Bulls were in good demand and
sold at about steady prices. Neals
We're also active and firm. Feeder and
stocker demand was very good here
and prices closed fully steady on the
good kinds, Notwithstanding the fact
that eastern markets We're 10 to %
cents lower. The demand has been
light at eastern points on account of
the hign prices prevailing. which has
curtailed the inquiry. Market here is
In very good shape, however. The de-
mand from the country was very fair
and the movement active on the few
offered. Buyers want the good steers,
though, and pay little attention to the
common kinds.
The hog supply was liberal last
week. Demand was only fairly good
and while packers took all offerings,
they did SO under protest and the de-
mand this week will not be strong.
Prices are about a dime higher, with
tops selling around $G.35.
The demand for sheep is very strong
but few coming. Most OF the offerings
here this week were lambs, which sold
up to $500, or about quarter higher
than week ago. Some clipped lambs
brought 5000. Demand is strong for
both lambs and ewes.

MINERS THREATEN TO BOLT
Pfttsburg Men Favor Accepting Mr.
Robbins Terms.

Pittsburg. Pa. March 27.-lnforma-
ton was received at headquarters OF
the local district organization Of the
mine workers to the effect that Ma
tional President John Mitchell has
made a proposition to the operators to
sign 30 per cent of them on the wage
scale Of 1903, but refuses to sign with
Mr. Robbins interests Individually
even though he represents over 80 per
cent. Of the bituminous tonnage.
Miners at local headquarters threat
ened to bolt and sign with Mr.. Rob
bins on their own initiative If theis
report proved true. One Of the district
officers openly declared that the Pitts
bnrg district of mine workers should
not he bound by any such proposition
coming from President Mitchell. aad If
necessary would leave the organization
before accepting any such orders. A
strong sentiment was expressed favor
ing the acceptance of the terms as
made b. Mr.. Robbins and signing with
the Piltsburg Coal company and eny
other coal companies that were willing
TO grant the scale of 1903.
One of the local independent oper-
ators expressed the belief that the
time was opportune to turn the contro-
versy between the bituminous opera
tors and miners into the hands OF
board Of arbitration. with the proviso
that the men should continue at work
until the board found a basis of agree
ment which would be retroactive from
April !.

NO TARIFF REVISION
Republicans in Congress Are Divided
on tie Subject.

VI NF~ @NSJ~NR
Washington. March 27.-What may
be regarded as the final pronounce
nent against tariff revision at the
present session Of congress is contain
"a in a letter from Chairman Payne,
of the house ways and means commit
tee in reply to a communication sezt
him by Representative Mccall on be-
half of the Massachusetts delegation
In congress. Mr.. Mccall calls atten'
tion to the declaration in the Republi-
can state platform of Massachusetts,
for tariff revision with adherence TO
the policy of protection. and 20 the de-
claration in the Republican national
platform regarding the readjustment
OF duties when conditions demand, and
entrusting the question to Republi-
can president and congress. The
Massachusetts view as presented Is
that conditions have so changed as to
demand change over the Dingley rates
which have served nine years.
In his reply Mr.. Payne calls atten'
tion to the method by which tariff
legislation must be brought about
by a concurrent view Of the majority
Of the party in power He next points
out that this concurrent view does not
exist. The house. he says. Is divided
into groups OF members. each group
favoring the modification of different
schedules. while, he says. a majority
of the Republicans in the house do not
believe that there should be any
change at all.
Tie declares that the people have
not forgotten the disaster politically
and commercially which followed the
tariff change of 1890.
