It is believed that that state Z is now
freer from the. power Of the, United
Mine Workers union than any other
state in the United States. This is Of
great Importance to the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company and to the railroads IN
Colorado. If the mines in that state
were to be shut down, it would be nee
essary to haul large amounts of coal a
long distance.
Practically the same might be said
with respect to conditions in the Ala
bama district. The Tennessee Coal &
Iron company, the Sloss-Shefield Steel
& Iron company and several other iron
manufacturing companies have been
fighting the miners union for several
years, and now are able to operate coal
mines almost at full capacity with non
union labor of an efficient character.
TO considerable extent the industries
in the Alabama district are widely sep
arated from the large coal bodies in
other sections of the United States.
Consequently the industries in the
south and the railroads operating at
least thruout the southern tier of states
would be badly crippled in case the
mine workers union had full control
Of the mines in that territory. Even
in the event Of a sectional strike. Of a
month or six weeks duration, it is be-
heved that the southern mines will
profit appreciably. If the anthracite min.
ers are kept out for some weeks, it is
believed they will be the principal and
practically the only sufferers.

Heavy selling Of steers and desire
of feeders to get rid Of their holdings
before beginning active spring farm
work, resulted in poor trade this week.
Prices have been pounded down l0c to
Soc from the range current at the close
week ago, and the great bulk OF the
run has shown 15c to Csc decline. Me
dunn to good fat beeves were hit the
hardest, many transactions at $4l5 to
$40 in late days showing zoe to SOC
drop from the relatively high prices last
week. Light and medium snort-fed
beeves have escaped with less serious
decline, these showing hardly more 1Oc

nesday at $685., the best price since the

have made $500 to 1925 but there
has been small quota above 1915.
Butcher stock values have fallen hard,

cowshad had reached level relatively
higher than medium and plain steers,
and buyers have Of late set out to smash
the market. Heavy butcher and export
bulls have dropped 15c to Csc, and the
bulk Of bolognas sold off 1Oc to 15c.
Calf receipts have been the largest
OF the season, the week 8 supply total
ing close to $4,000, but the price range
has held up fairly well most days.
On Tuesday Of this. week the aver.
age cost Of hogs was 1854, the highest
since May, 1903, but since then the
trend of the market has been down

Conditions governing the stocker and
feeder trade have shown DECIDED i'm

weather and roads in improved condl-

SOUTH ST. PAUL. LIVESTOCK

Cattle receipts have been larger this
week than for some months. Other
markets were overstocked and lower
prices thruout the country resulted. The
quality of killing cattle was a little
weeks, and a few loads were better
than any marketed here during the sea-
son. The quality Of one load which
sold at $5.25 was very good, but there
was nothing here that could be graded
as choice. The share Of steers was mod
crate, the biggest part Of the killing
supply consisting Of cows. Prices were
the east, and the following days there
was further weakness, causing the level
towards the close of the week to be
about 15c to Csc lower on all grades.
Stocker and feeder trade was fairly
active, but the market lacked the brisk
ness which characterized the business of
the preceding week. The supply was
fairly liberal, and buyers were not SO
numerous. Another factor which caused
this week s market to suffer in compari-
sou with the preceding weeks was that
quality was not so good. There was a
scarcity Of best grades.
strictly best cattle, prices were called
about steady on those kinds. The gen,
eral run, however, moved on 10c to 25e
lower range than in the preceding week
Stock heifers and good feeder cows
proved an exception, and sold about
steady.
Sheep receipts were about the same
as the preceding week, and the market
was more active The largest part OF
the supply was marketed here, and
there was prompt outlet for all offer
ings. Prices showed strength, and
choice ewes were quoted l0@l5c higher
than last week. There was a rather
limited test of values Of ewes; the me
dunn grades selling steady, and good
kinds showing Improvement.
Lamb prices were steady with the
preceding week, and there was fairly
good movement. Quality was general

STOCK EXCHANGE SEATS

Members Of the New York stock ex-
$500 for their seats. Even in 1871 bar
gains at So, $50 might be picked up. In
the course Of eleven years there was a
great advance and in the boom year of
1882 the price Of $32, 800 was reached.
In the panic of 1884 the price of seats
fell to $4,000, but rallied to $4,000 in
the following year. This remained the
panic Of 1893 the price broke below
the last low figure Of 1884. and mem
berships were actually sold at ESQ
in that year. During the Bryan scare
of 1896 the price declined to $13 900, at
which figure seat changed hands.
From that point the advance was con-
ssistent with scarcely recession of more
tina 81 900 until, in the Mckinley boom
of 1901, the then enormous figure of
$4,000 was established. The price fell
off in 1902 to 100000, but advanced
later in that year to 900. In the
depression Of the following year a sale
was made at $51, 900. This last quota
tion, according to the Wall Street Jour
nal, was mainly influenced by anticipa-
tions Of the stock transfer tax, which
certainly served to keep the price at
a relatively low figure for some time.
There has, however, been a steady ap-
probation in value since the market be.
gan to rally in 1904, with occasional
setbacks. but a elimination at the high
record of $4,000 last December.

Coal shipping companies are protect

who have not previously dealt with
them on the ground that, they desire to
make their tonnage go as far as pos

Among the chief ways of preventing
typhoid fever must be mentioned the
care of the stomach itself. It seems
highly probable that the natural juices
of the healthy stomach are able to des-
troy many germs Of disease; but the
number which any stomach may be
tain, and it is not desirable to test
it's capacity in this direction. The fact
that only certain persons out Of a num-

suffer is explainable on the ground of
their different general physical condi-

house, when freight charges are count
ed in. If the farmer does not believe
this he should make up a list of things
that he ordinarily orders Of the cat
alogue house, take it to his town
stores and see what prices they will
make him on the same goods In just
ice to himself he should do this.
To Sum Up.
The mail order house is under i'm
mense expense. It's advertising alone
runs into hundreds of thousands of
dollars a year 1t maintains great in
situations at high cost It cannot do
this and legitimately undersell the
country merchant
In conclusion, let US refterate that
the home merchants show their Gus
toners the goods before purchase. and
willingly make exchanges. The cata-
logue house don't do that.
The home merchants reputation
and business standing in the com
munity are back of every sale he
makes. The catalogue house feels no
such responsibility. Their misdeeds
in one community do not hurt them in
another. They would rather lose a
customer than a dollar. The home
merchants would rather lose a dollar
than a customer.
The home merchants buy farm
produce, sometimes at a loss. The
catalogue house don't.
The home merchant gives credit
when necessary The catalogue house
insists on spot cash.
The home merchants live among
their customers, contribute to the up
building of the town, schools and
churches. The catalogue house spends
its profits elsewhere. The very ma
ture of it's business kills the small
community and builds up the large
city.
The home merchants can and do
meet all legitimate competition.
The mail order patron owes it to
his towns welfare and his own well
fare to give his merchants a chance to
prove the statement before denying
them his patronage.
The catalogue house in it's dealings
with its patrons ignores all the fun
damental principles of community well
fare It's methods are a trespass on
community rights.
