MENACE in STEEL SITUATION.
Pittsburg Mills Unable to Supply
Structural Material to Rebuild City.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 23-Pittsburg
steel raen fear that the rebuilding of
San Francisco will be seriously retard-
ed by the inability of the mills Of
Pittsburg and the Pittsburg district to
meet the enormous. cemand for the
structural material which will be sure
to follow.
To add to the serious condition the
Pittsburg district is now so crowded
with previous orders that it is next to
impossible for the mills to take on adj
ditional work. On account of this
crowded condition it is feared that San
Francisco will be forced to turn to the
steel mills of Great Britain and Ger
many for their structural iron in the
rebuilding Of the burned city.
That steel will enter into the re-
building of the new San Francisco is
considered a certainty by the Pitts
burg steel mills. From accounts that
have already been received from the
local agents of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany and the Jones & Laugflin Com
pany in San Francisco it was the build
ings of steel construction which with
stood the earthquake as we'll as the
attacks of the fire. In building the
new San Francisco 1t is believed that
steel shapes will be used almost ex-
clusively.

Cow Trade Weak.

Cow trade has been weak and lower
Of late and the bulk of selling last
week ranged 10000 lower than closing
n,ices week ago. while some lots
showed 9,c decline. Increased receipts
and clogged beef trade has resulted in
a poor market all week and traders
said II was fortunate that small re-
CENTS came in the closing days. Bar
ring the first few days of the week
when there was fairly liberal COMPETE
ton from outsiders, statesmen had hard
work in finding an outlet for their
holdings Good heavy cows have suf-
fered most decline, demand for these
being especially dull in late days, while
an the other hand light thin cows and
beifers sold relatively we'll, outsiders
taking a considerable number of them
to craze for few weeks. Odd lots Of
fancv heifers made 1925 in the week
and ore six-load drove of Nebra skan
shaved heifers sold at 500. Most Of
the good fat grades ranged at $3.50
As and plain and poor light heifers
sold under ss25. Prime cows reached
$500 and bulk of the good to choice
grades made s3.so@4.sO. A big mum
her of medium beef cows sold 1t $3.50
@3S5. and the poor kinds under $500.

GIVE WHISKY TO CHILDREN.
Mothers Unable to Withstand Awful
PIeadinus of Thirsty Babes.


Los Angeles, Cal, April ga frag-
mentary account of the terrible suffer-
ings endured by the little children of
San Francisco in the earthquake fire
was brought to this city by Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Huskey and Mrs. Kate
Land, who lived together on Pine
street.
) Under our own observation" said
Mrs. Huskey. was the case of one
child, i'll of diphtheria, who was car
ried into the streets Wednesday night
by her parents and died in agony on
lawn that morning"
Utter lack of water in some districts
peopled by the refugees set the children
to moaning and pleading for a drink.
Men of refined families made every
human effort to satisfy the thirst of
their little ones. Failing at last and
in desperation they invaded the neigh
boring saloons and brought whisky to
the women.
Unable longer to Withstand the
pleadings of their children mothers
poured small quantities of the fiery
liquor into tin cans and other avail
able receptacles and gave to the tots
to drink. The natural result was to in
crease the pangs Of thirst twenty fold
and the sight of woebegone, staggering
children was witnessed by observers.

prices. The other description was
weak. largely SOLO cents lower and
demand was slow. Butcher stock was
fairly active at easier prices.
Medium and plain killers have been
but fair, good bred stock met some
competition from the feeder buyers in
the latter half of last week, and the
better outside demand had the effect
of holding prices for these UP to a
range relatively stronger than for good
fat kinds.
Feeder men are not taking as many
of these classes this season as last, and
the result is the beef trade is being
heavily supplied, while in face of mar
rover consumptive demand for these
grades there is much poorer tone to the
market than was noted a year ago.
Absence of the big country demand for
these kinds, however, traders say, will
mean a comparatively small supply OF
steers for the market later In the sea-
son, and on this account there is a
rather bullish feeling among many SELL
ers regarding prices in future.
Hogs.
The market was fairly active from
the start, but prices were off 10 cents
on an average, with sales at range OF
s6.25@665, the greater part selling at
$6.50@6.60.
The discouraging feature of the past
week has been a woeful lack of ship
ping demand. Shippers have taken
but 1900, again $4,000 a year ago. and
lack of support from that quarter mas
made a very sticky market. Prices
have veered around somewhat, but the
close does not show much change from
the week before, when the top was
S6.72lb and the bulk sold at $6.60W
6.721a. Shaggy and rough packing stun
has met with severe discrimination,
and are not wanted, even at the pres
ent wide discount, altho the bulk OF
hogs still sell at narrow range. quail
ity is showing deterioration, more OF
this heavy, shaggy and rough-pacKlhs
goods being included in the rum Strong
weights with quality are in demand.
The local supply is approximately iol,-
600 and the six western markets snow
up with about 100000, against 254,OOo
week ago, and $4,000 a year ago.
Sheep.
General demand was lively ana
prices strong for desirable lots, cnolcer
sheep and lambs selling o@lo Genus
higher
That a big number of the lambs put
on feed at the start of the season nave
been marketed traders admit, and they
also say the low day of the season mas
been seen; with nothing in the situation
to warrant pessimistic views OF the
market in the nearby future should
supplies be sent marketward in bus
iness-like way. Some higher spots are
looked for between now and the arrlv-
all of grass stock from the ranges.

understood that the other large stock
holders will be r. A. and G. B. Santee,
r. w. Christie and j. L. and S. o. Bal.
ley. The new management will be in
full control when the paper is issued
next Wednesday.
r.. A. Santee, one of the stockholders,
is candidate for representative against
j. w. Jarnagin, editor of the Record.
MI. Jarnagin is standpatter and San
tee is a progressive republican. From
now on the populace may expect to see
interesting doings politically. The new
editor is said to be a graceful and
forceful writer, and is an old newspa-

Wool Nav Brina % Cents.

Miles City April 3-Speculation is
rife among the sheepmen of Miles City
relative to what the price of wool will
be this summer. Among those who
have the highest anticipation is A. S.
Wiley. who runs his sheep near the
North Dakota line about 100 miles from
Miles City.
Il look for 2S-cent WOOL" said Mr.
Wiley land some few clips may go ev-
en- higher than that. Wool sold year
ago for 25 and 26 cents and the mar
ket is fully 2 cents a pound better
today than it was then. The wool
will be of excellent quality this season
1t will be exceedingly clean and will
prove satisfactory to the buyers"
