Just g Pure AfterthouEht.

IN response TO this Mr. Storer wrote
me letter rendering his resignation, not
as he asserts because Of anything in
connection with his vistt TO the Vatican.
but solely because of his conduct in the
Hurst matter. In this letter in answer
10 mine of December 81 he makes abso-
lutely no aliIsion whatever 10 what I
said I'm that letter as TO his call al the
Vatican. this letter Of mine shows that
I had then never heard from him that he
called al the Vatican and his absolute
silence at the time shows that what he
says now on the subject is q pure after
thought. He never in any way dissented
from the statements I made i'm these
three letters Of December 19. q and so.
and in this letter of January Is. in which
he rendered his resignation. his whole
concern was over his conduct in the
Hurst affair His letter runs in part as
follows cali the omitted parts referring
also exclusively TO the Hurst NATTER.

Chicago stockyards Notes.

The high prices which have been
paid fof show stuff have proved an
inspiration to cattle feeders. These
prices We're the highest that have ever
been paid for show cattle in the loca
market, and the trade believes that
they have every reason to look for a
good market for this week At the
present level Of prices the feeders can
make money, and it is thought that the
high grade steers will sell at strong
prices this week. The betterment that
was shown last week, covering as it
did the medium classes of offerings,
means much to the sellers of half-fat
cattle, of which there is a liberal per-
centage now coming. 1t means that
the small feeder. the man who cam
not afford to give cattle the finish
which is required to make them prime,
will have a chance to realize a little
profit.
Packers are satisfied that the hog
bulge early in the week has started
a run and that sharp expansion in
the movement is due this week. The
theory in Packingtown is that ship
pers concluded to sidestep show week,
fearing a slumpy market and, as US
ual, the unexpected happened.
Shipments of cattle for the week
ending Friday were very liberal for
this time of year, total of LIB car
loads going out, against 1890 last week,
1855 a year ago and 1854 two years
ago.
There was fairly good outlet for
the good to choice stockers and feed
ers this week, and the market was
steady to strong for the right kind.
Many of the visitors to the show were
looking for good to choice feeders, and
this made the competition stronger
than usual. All week, an account of
the influx of visitors to the show, the
market has been active, and prices av-
eraged strong. While most of the de-
mand centered on the good to choice
strong weight, feeders, there was also
u better outlet for the medium grades
of feeders, but the common light were
about as hard to sell as ever.

| "All the aged feeding cattle in the
southwest have been cleaned up b.
current demand" said Judge o. H
Nelson of Amarillo, Tex, who was in
Saturday. Feeders have been clamor-
Gus for mature stuff that can be put in
fair flesh from so to 90 days and have
been sidestepping the long fed propo-
sition, consequently Texas calves have
not been in such demand as threes,
tours and flves. II look for a big run
of warmed up stuff early in the new
year, and more or less demoralized
markets until after April
About $500 western range cattle ar
rived last week, which was pretty
good supply for so late in the season
The demand was fairly good most of
the week, and prices remained about
steady. AS IA rule. the quality OF the
stuff marketed was poor and repre-
scented largely the tail end shipments
of the year. A few loads sold at $50
5.15, but most of the supply went at
34.40M4.S0. and there We're a good
many COWS and heifers that sold at
$34S.75.
The outlet for cheap COW meat has
been good for some time and there are
NO signs of it getting any worse. pro-
viding the quality is suitable.
Hog shipping demand has picked up
somewhat this week, and as supply at
eastern markets is diminishing this
interest which has had considerable to
do with making prices lately will de-
velop more Importance.
Altho the hog market has not been
in the lime light the last week, it has
been reveling in prosperity. Hogs con-
tinue to look worth the money. Cur
rent prices are high for this season
and there is no indication whatever
of the erection of bargain counter
this winter. Hogs are worth the
or packers would not be pay

Stop to Standards Concessions.
/ Washington, Dec. 10.-That the rail-
roads of the country Cancelled sub
stantially all secret rebates to the
Standard Oil Company as soon as the
bureau of corporations investigated the
transportation of oil is asserted in the
annual report of James R. Garfield,
commissioner of corporations.
The report suggests that the penalty
for violation of the federal laws reg
ulating interstate commerce be de-
NAL of the right to engage in inter-
state commerce
During the investigation Of the oil
industry" says the report, ait was dis
covered that very widespread sys-

| in favor Of the Standard Oil Company,
| affecting very large proportion of the
country and resulting substantially in
| giving to the Standard Oil Company
an overwhelming advantage in trans
portation in almost all sections of the
country: that this system had been in
existence for number of years and
that. largely by virtue of 1t the Stand
ard had been able to restrict or elimi-
nate competition thruout many parts of
the country and thereafter reap the
benefits of monopoly.
"These railway discrimination took
various forms, often very ingenious in
their nature and so skilfully concealed
that their existence was very rarely
suspected even by the active competi-
tors of the Standard. altho such COM
petitors knew that in general they were
doing business at disadvantage.
"a most striking and important re-
suit Immediately followed the investi-
cation of the bureau; the railroads
Cancelled substantially all the secret
rates, Illegal or improper discrimina-
tons. and in many cases the discrim-
nations in open rates.
The shippers of oil advise the bu-
reau that for the first time in many
years they are now rapidly obtaining
equality of treatment from the trans
portation companies"

port, indictments containing S.193

juries as the result of this investiga-
