PENNSYLVANIA Coal Combine Made De
PENDANT by Novel Circumstances.

Reading, Pa. - Disclosures made
during a legal fight to determine the
ownership of 200 acres of coal land
in Schuylkill county recently has re-
vived interest in claim of coal lands
left by Valentine Brobst, who died in
1888, now held by the combination OF
coal companies of which George F..
Baer is the head and which are said
to be worth S120000,000. The dis
covery of evidence of priority of titles
during the comparatively trivial suit
has led the one hundred or more
heirs of the Brobst estate to retain
counsel to institute action against the
coal combine for payment for such
of the land as they can prove title
to.
The properties claimed consist of
1000 acres now in possession of the
Land and Improvement company, the
Schuylkill Navigation company and
the Reading Coal and Iron company
and a tract of 400 acres held by the
latter company in Sugar Loaf town.
ship. Luzerne county. In addition
there are about 1900 acres of soft
coal land in Allegheny county, near
Pittsburg, and trace of 400 acres
of slate lands and quarries in Lynn
township, near Easton, now in the
possession of the Lehigh Valley rail
road. There also will be claims filed
against number of residence prop
critics in this city.
AS an evidence that other than the
Brobst heirs have faith in their
claim, counsel for the heirs have ar
ranged to sell 200 acres of the lands
in dispute to the Girard estate of
Philadelphia for 100000.

Omaha

Omaha, Neb, March 2S-The mar
ket on beef steers was in good,
healthy condition and generally salts
factory throughout. At the opening
buyers were inclined to bid, if any
thing, little lower, but the trade
finally setted down into steady mar
ket, on which basis everything desir-
able sold and in reasonable season.
Cows and heifers seemed to be in
very good demand and the desirable
kinds were, if anything, strong, as
compared with yesterday, and the
medium kinds were at least steady.
The offerings of cow stuff of all kinds
were practically ali taken some time
before midday.
The run of stockers and feeders
was quite large, there being an es-
pecially large number of westerns,
mostly Wyomings. The market did
not show any material change, prices
being generally just about steady
The cattle of this kind have been COM
ing in pretty fact this week and as the
yards are in extremely had condition
owing to the sloppy weather the feel
ing did not appear to be any too
strong. In fact spectators are, if
anything, more inclined to sell than
buy.
Hogs
The market this morning, under the
influence of the good strong local de-
mand and the moderate receipts,
opened a good big SC higher. At first
it was little slow, but as it firmed
up it became active and everything
in sight changed hands promptly. The
market closed at the high point of the
day. In brief the market might be
described as active and 5@10c higher
than yesterdays general market. The
bulk of al the hogs sold at $625@6.30,
as against $500 for the long string
yesterday. The top today was $3.50.
Todays advance carries the market
to the highest point touched so far
| this year.

FEATURES OF CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Receipts on Cereals For a
Day,


Day.
Chicago, ILL.,, March 28.-Buying by
several men who had extensive short
lines held the local wheat market COM
paratively steady today despite lower
cables and continued favorable
weather for fall sown wheat. At the
close the May option showed loss
of Bc. Corn was down B@Ac. Oats
were off &c. Provisions were loo to
Csc cents higher.
At the opening of the session SEN
timent in the. wheat pit was somewhat
bearish and the initial quotations
showed slight declines, the May de-
livery being off B@A to Nc, at TIN
@77Bc to 775s. The chief factors
contributing to the easier feeling in
the market were decline at Liver
pool, the mild weather throughout the
wheat section of the United States,
liberal receipts at Minneapolis and the
weekly foreign crop report, which gave
a generally favorable outlook for
wheat crops of foreign countries. The
moderate decline brought about COW
ering by several shorts, who took in
heavy lines Of wheat, and the market
more than regained the early loss.
Trading dragged somewhat during
the remainder of the session until
near the close, when the May option
sold off from 1915 to 775sc. The de-
cline was due to poor demand rather
than to any heavy selling pressure.
A decrease of All, 900 bushels In the
worlds visible supply, compared with
a decrease of 100000 bushels for the
corresponding week last year. as
shown by Bradstreet's, induced some
selling by pit traders. The market
closed fairly steady, with May at
77%M77%c. The July delivery
ranged between 77A @773sc and 77Bc,
and closed unchanged at 77hc. Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
1900 bushels. Primary receipts were
100000 bushels, compared with365, 900
bushels for the corresponding day one
year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of BAT cars,
against 1872 cars last week and 230 cars
year ago.
There was persistent selling in the
corn market all day by commission
houses and cash interests. This fact
aided by decline at Liverpool, caused
weak market throughout the session
The principal demand came from
shorts. The market closed easy. May
opened bc to B@A lower, at 435s q
43Ac to 43%c, sold between 43R ant
43k @44c, and closed at 435s @49% C
Local receipts were 453 cars, with q
cars of contract grade
Oats were weak all day on selling
by commission houses and cash deal
ers. The chief incentive of the selling
movement was the prevailing mile
weather May opened 1sc to 80 Y
lower, at 3Ok @30Ac, sold off to 2S7s
and closed at soc. Local receipts wer
211 cars.
Provisions were active and strong
There was good general demand TO
all products and q local packer bough
lard freely. The reasons for the eA
cellent demand were heavy shipment
of meat and lard and a Toe advanc
in the price of live hogs. AT tn
close May pork was up 25c, at 1857 Y
Lard was 1914 @15c higher, at$6.47E

American Hunting the Best.

Lord Headley of Aghaboe castle,
Killarney. Ireland, noted hunter in
many jungles. who recently arrived in
New York, declares he prefers hunt
ing in America to any other land
Some of the best hunting in the
world is in this country said Lord
Headley. according to New York
special to the Kansas City Star. ~
don't think much of the sportsman
who goes hunting in Africa. Out there
you can almost knock game over with
a club. | have knocked about bit
and the best hunting have had was
in the Rocky mountains. The noun
tain goat is hard to get at and more
difficult to hunt than larger game
There is plenty of work and interest
in stalking the goat, and the huntsman
must have nerve and staying powers
The puma is more dangerous to hunt
than the African lion He has less to
feed upon than the lion and will turn
on the slightest provocation.'
