The district court at Boise has
decided that the state Yeterinari-
an law is unconstitutional and if

been opposed to dipping their
fiocks.
Jesse Yokum, a farmer living
on Hatwai creek above Lewiston
is reported missing. He was
drinking heavily at Lewiston last
week and started for home and
has not been seen since. His
horse was found later standing
in the yard with the saddle on
and as the place is near the river
it is thought the drunken man
may have fallen into the stream
and drowned.

killed a large lynx last week
near Troy. After the animal
was shot the boy and his father
measured its jump into a tree
and found that it had jumped
from the ground fully Is feet

feet up on the tree. Had the
tree been out of the way the
animal would have covered about
40 feet in its leap.

while showing a considerable falling on as
compared with the week before, is, never
theless, much larger than a year ago.
The market on killers has not shown very
much change 1t has been a sort OF slow,

ket The packers have wanted few good
sheep and lambs, but not very many. Inc
demand has not been at all urgent any DAY
believing that there will be anything ike
an active demand until after the nrst OF
the year. Packers, both here and else
where, have filled their coolers with as
much mutton as Is likely TO be needed dur
ing the holiday season, and the only thing
for shippers to do Is to await the cleaning
up Of the holiday poultry before begnnins
70 ship sheep freely again.
Fortunately a very considerable proper
week has consisted OF range sheep and
lambs suitable for feeders. The demand
for good feeders proved 20 be very brisk
and everything received sold freely az very
satisfactory prices. It Is very evident that
any one having range sheep or lambs that
they can get TO market are perfectly safe
in doing so, as the feeder buyers seem
ready to take everything coming.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board OF Trade.

CHICAGO Dec 22-Realizing sales in
corn and oats had a weakening effect on
- local wheat market, the May option
closing at a net loss Of sc. Corn was Oft
nc. oats were down &c and provisions
were from 71kd10c to 22iac higher
Sentiment in the wheat pit was bearish
oil day and the volume of trading was
very small. There was nothing in the news
Of the day to encourage the bears, and
the main factor in the situation was the
weakness OF coarse grains, Throughout the
day pit traders had wheat for sale, but
apparently there was little wanted. Dur
ing the first hour prices were almost sta
tiorary, the May option ranging between
T5sc and 7Sc. Later the absence of de-
mand allowed prices to sag about nc and
tho market closed easy. May opened un-
changed 20 a shade lower at TlIsgiSc sold

ances of wheat and -four were equal to
160 900 bu. Primary receipts were 665,OOO

Duluth and Chicago reported receipts OF
493 cars, as against $50 last week and 5Sr
Selling By cash houses, which was
brought out by reports of larger country
aCccptanCes, caused weakness in the corn
market. Weather conditions were favorable
for the movement and increased receipts
are looked for next week. Trading was
dull and the market closed easy. May
opened a shade lower at 43Ana5lRc, sold
of to 43l4c and closed at the lowest point.
Local receipts were 3i6 cars, with none OF
contract grade.
the tone OF the market was weak. Many
small holders were induced to sell by the
government crop report and there was also
considerable selling for short account. De
mand was scattered, with commission
houses taking the bulk OF the orders. The
market closed weak, with prices at the
lowest point of the day. May opened un-
changed, a shade higher, at S57sc to 5Jsa36c
and sold of 10 S5lzc, where IL closed. Local
receipts were los cars.
Notwithstanding a &c decline in the price
OF live hogs, the provisions market was
strong ali day. shorts and local packers
were good buyers and the selling wai
largely by longs. The supply OF live hogi
was below general expectation and II wal

NEW YORK, Dec 22.-Reading was
acutely depressed in tOday's stock market
and the heavy unloading Of the stock was
unexplained by any special news until the
announcement Of the failure Of a house
with Stock exchange connections and

was affected In sympa thy, but TO mod

break in the market after the failure was
ANNOUNCED. Traders Joined in the selling
Of Reading under the supposiuOn That the
heavy speculation was based on disappoint-
ment over the failure to raise the dividend
rate on the stock.
The Hill stocks, Union Pacific. St Paul
and Northwestern showed a renewal Of the
weakness which has affected them ever
since the new stock issues Of Northwest
ern railroads was announced. The weak
ness Of the market was aggravated after
the appearance OF the bank statement.
All OF the expected gain in cash was re-

loan account OF less than $JJ,yy was re-
garded as an inadequate result to be shown
after the painful liquidation which has
been going on in the stock market during
the week The withdrawal of gold from

CATTLE-There were few cars Of caJ-
tie in this morning, but not enough TO make
a market. While the receipts for the week
show considerable falling of as compared
with last week, they have been far in eX-
cess of the record for the corresponding
week of last year. In other words, the re-
ceipts of cattle this week have been excess
sive for the period Immediately preceding
the holidays. This has to a considerable
extent been true of all other market points
as well. With the markets Of the country
overloaded at the season Of the year when
the demand is never very large, there has
been naturally a sharp break all along the
line.
Regardless of advices to the contrary. the
country has persisted all this week in rush
ing in its half-fat and warmed-up beef
steers so that there has been break in
every other market Of 25u4Oc Plenty OF
cattle have actually sold SOC a hundred
lower than the high time ten days ago. The
country seems unable to learn that meat
consumers during the holiday season give
up beef in favor Of poultry and instead Of
reducing shipments Of cattle accordingly
they rush them in faster than ever, with
the result that enormous losses occur at
this season practically every year.
Cows and heifers have kept pace with
steers. the market showing about the same
decline under the influence of the excessive
receipts. 1t is hardly possible to show in
quotations the amount Of decline that has
I really taken place. for the reason that bet
! ter cattle are selling at prices formerly paid
The best feeders have not shown so much
change, as the supply has been small, while
| there has been fair demand; Common
and inferior grades, however, have been

as l0ql5C lower.

bidding prices that were generally a little
lower than yesterday, in fact in many cases
&c lower. Al first the trade was slow, sell
ers being very backward about taking on,
but still quite a number OF loads sold that
were possibly a shade under yesterdays
figures Late on as II became apparent
that the demand was good the trace be-
came more active at about yesterd iys
prices. so that the bulk of the hogs sold IN
very fair season in the forenoon. AS will

a shade lower than yesterday.
