SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

The supply of killing stock this week
has been rather, limited. The run of
cattle was lighter, and offerings Of
beef were short Of demand. The mar
ket had good tone, and the tendency Of
prices was toward improvement. The
share of steer stuff was limited, and
the showing of good steers selling from
while there were only few sales over
the SIS point, one load bringing 500.
Good cows sold generally at 1926 to 81.
with some choice COWS and heifers at
$4.25 to $3.50. Prices were generally
steady thruout the week for steers and
cows. Veal calves were steady.
The stocker and feeder market was
in better condition than in the preced-
ing week. The supply was lighter, and
the attendance Of buyers larger. Ev-
erything moved quickly, and on Tues
day there was some added strength,
which, however, was lost on the fol
yards pretty well cleared up. Demand
continued active for good to choice
stocker and feeder steers, and those
kinds sold promptly. The bulk of the
run was made up of medium stuff The
big end Of the week 8 trading was on
a steady basis, and the close was
steady with last Saturday Heifers
and cows sold well.
The run Of hogs was larger, and Of
ferings met good demand. The market
has been active, and the trade is look
ing for an increase over present vol
ulne of supplies. With the completion
of spring seeding there should be a
more liberal movement, and this point
is in position to handle everything COM
ing.

market became merely the football of
professional caprice, often advancing
and declining the same day, according
as the notion seized the floor trade:
Fully 80 per cent of the transactions
originated on the floor of the exchange,
a prominent trader being credited with.
100000 out of total Of 100000
shares. The anthracite coalers were
the main feature, pool operations being
more courageous because Of the culmin-
alton Of the coal strike Lackawanna,
rejecting the recent report showing an
earning capacity of over so per cent,
made new high record: Other stand
ard railroads displayed a distinctly
heavy trend, notably Pennsylvania,
loan and the unsavory disclosures Of
grating by prominent officials.
There has been some selling Of st.
Paul on the rumors that the road was
contemplating a large issue Of short
time notes for the purpose Of financing
it's Pacific coast extension. The amount
mentioned in this connection varies
from $4O,OOO,0O0 to $60,000,0O0. St.
Paul will no doubt have to make az
under way at no distant date, and ow-
ing to the "fatness of the bond mar
ket, it is generally conceded that these
will take the form of an issue of notes,
running probably for eighte en- months,
or two years. Bankers in touch with
the management of the company state
that 50 far as they know the question
point to the fact that there is still un-

THE MONETARY SITUATION

The natural result Of the return Of
funds from the interior and the accu-
mutation Of foreign insurance money in
New York, taken conformity with the
sharp reduction in the demand from
brokers, has been much lower rates for
call money, s21@ per cent being touched.
There was also a perceptibly easier
trend to time money, loans being made
for six months at AZ per cent on mixed
collateral and per cent on all indus
trials. The resumption of the outflow
to San Francisco in anticipation of the
opening Of banks at the Golden Gate
city, caused little comment, it being
generally expected that the return flow
will soon be on from the Pacific coast.

WATSON -WRENN WHEAT

The open interest in Chicago May
wheat is figured by the InterOcean at
100000 bushels, the Wrenn house be-
ing short the greater part. The Watson
house has had big spread, being short
Chicago May and long Minneapolis
July. This is shown by the continued
liberal purchases Of May in Chicago by
Wrenn and sales of July at Minneapo-
lis by Watson. It is done as quietly as
possible, SO as not to attract attention.
There is no other large short interest
known outside of that in the Wrenn
house, but there are number of small
lots outstanding. A report comes from
a good authority in New York, that
the settlement said to have been made
on 100000 bushels, cleaned up line
held by New Workers, thru house in
which Watson had a large open account.
This is why the trade has not shown in

OPERATORS OFFER
 TO BE ACCEPTED
The Anthracite Dispute to be Left 10
 a Strike Commission.

New York. April 11.-After having the counter arbitration plan of the an- thracite operators under consideration
 nearly all day, the general scale com
 mittee of the hard coal miners of the
 committee completed the draft of their
 reply and will present it to the com
 mittee of mine owners at the joint session to be held here tomorrow. The
 strictest secrecy surrounded the work
 of the committeeman. It is believed
 the miners have decided to accept the
 Oprators' offer that the anthracite strike commission take up the dispute
 but it will ask that the tribunal be permitted to consider only the original demands with certain important modi- fications
 The concessions said to be decided
 upon are that instead of an agreement
 being entered into between the oper- ators and the United Mine Workers of America, it be made with the an thracite mine workers; that the check off be limited to the wage workers, wno agree to an assessment to defray | the expenses in cured in carrying out the miners part of the agreement. in stead of all the mine wOrkers-union and non -uniOn-being compelled to contribute, and that the duration of the agreement be left to the commis- sion. The miners in the arbitration plan asked for a two-year agreement, and the operators in tneir counter proposition wanted one for three years. ] If this proposition is submitted by ! the miners and accepted, it would leave the commission free to take up the demands for an increase in wages,
 an eight-hour day, uniform pay for all classes of employment paid by the day or month, reconstruction of the con ciliation board, and a number of minor ] grievances.
 The operators want to limit the in | quiry to wages and a method for the adjustment of complaints

so much talk on any one appropriation bill under the caption of general de- bate" as the house has listened to on the bill There were a number of live ly debates during the day, but little progress was made with the bill under the fiVe-minute rule.
 Shortly before f o'clock the general debate on the bill was concluded and the reading of the bill for amendments begun.
 MT. Sulzed took the floor in behalf of Marcus Braun, who, he said had just resigned from his recent appoint ment as immigrant inspector. The req son for his resignation, he declared, was that he had not been properly vindicated by the secretary of state. In replying to the Sulzer resolution for all papers in the case, ne said the secretary had with held one letter from Consul Chichester, at Budapest, with no explanation as to why the let ter had been suppressed. He criticised the presidents dismissal of Ambassa- dor Storer by cable as an "unprece- dented occurrence"

BETWEEN
The Devil and the Deep Sea.

When coffee gets 9 person we'll with in it's grip and the drug habit is fixed then comes twisting and turning to get free.
 With many people, if the coffee is left off at breakfast a headache sets in. and if coffee is taken the old stomach and nervous disorders are simply add ed to and made more fixed and harder to escape from. Still there is a very easy way to freedom and health.
 A woman in Mo. says:
 "I never thought of attributing my ailments to coffee till, several months ago. I saw a Postum Food Coffee ac- vertisement which stated that the old kind of coffee was freque tl1 injur- ious to people, so I thought l would try POstum, anyway, for l was in most wretc' ed condition. a nervous wreck with weak heart which flutter- ed and threatened to stop.
 "The first time I made POstum Cof- fee, boiled it well and was delighted with the flavor. My husband who did not know that t was not the old kind of coffee relished it very much, say ing What good coffee that isl" But after breakfast I was taken with a headache and drowsiness caused by the lack of the customary drug. I was resolute, however, and drank it for din ner and supper. The next day the headache was not so bad and by the third day it was gone. Day by day I felt better and better, and soon notic- ed that I did not tire so easily as I used to. In two weeks my friends be- gan to compliment me on my improv- ed condition. I rapidly gained in flesh and strength. and in months was a new being with strong, steady nerves and easy, comfortable healthy heart action. I feel like thanking you so much for Postum Food Coffee Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Headache, when coffee is left off, is rare, but is a sure. infallible sign of a poisoned, drugged nervous system, calling more and more for the drug that caused the trouble. To yield to the fierce demand of the drug habit is most humiliatinG and sinks the vic tim deeper. with certainty of fixed or ganic disease if persisted in. It is easy to change from coffee. if Postum Food Coffee is used in it's place, for Postum well made, that is, boiled long enough has the deep seal brown of Mocha and the soft smooth (not strong) flavor much like old Govt Java. the taste being distinct however and belonging only to genuine Postum. Leaving off the coffee that breaks down the nerve centres and taking a food drink that supplies the needed clements to rebuild them makes rapid change for the good.

 COOLING OFF
His Threats Against the
 Rebels
Followed by His Attorneys Prophecy of a Peaceful Settlement of the Whole Affair.

Chicago, April 11.-Dr. John Alex ander Dowie and his counsel will to- morrow fire the first gun in the battle to regain the S2O.OOO. 900 said to be in Volved in the control of Zion City. when they will file in the state circuit court a bill in chancery petitioning that the transfer made between Deacon Alex ander Granger, Overseer Jane Dowie and General Overseer Glen Wilbur Voliva, depOsing pr. Dowie as the controller and owner of this vast estate be set aside.
 The grounds upon which the petition will be based will be that Voliva. Granger and Mrs. Dowie frauduIentIy and illegally endeavored to dispoiI the former first apostle" of the property which he rightfully claims as his own. The court will also be asked to issue an injunction commanding that Voliva be prohibited from in any way, hand ling the estate
 These legal steps that are being taken by Dr. Dowie are only prelimin- ary, however, for Dowie and his entire party say they intend to descend upon Zion City, and at no very distant date This statement was emphatically made today by Deacon James F. Peters, who, together with Deacon John A. Lewis has been constant attendant and ad- wiser of the first apostle" since he left Mexico on his trip north. The party. however. are proceeding eau tlously and declare they will make no move which would in the slightest way be prejudicial to their interests.
 Dowie lost a loyal adherent today in the person of Miss Elizabeth McLen- nan. who has accompanied him as nurse on the long journey taken to re- gain his health The woman went to Zion City today after she had had a heated interview with DOwie in which she defiantly told him she could no longer remain as a member of his party. because she believed that Mrs. Dowie and Gladstone DOwie has been shamefully maligned by the first apostle" in his speech delivered from the car steps in St. Louis two nights ago. On her arrival in Zion City, she immediately sought out Mrs Dowie and Gladstone Dowie and rendered them her sympathy and assistance.

Senator AIdriCh Says the Ind Will be in
 Sight This Week
After Ten Days of Alleged Debate the Post Office Appropriation Bill the House Takes up the Considera- ton of the Subject Matter.

Washington, April 11.-In the senate today MT. AIdrich expressed the opin- ion that the end of the general de- bate on tae railroad rate bill would become apparent before the end of the week, and that an agreement upon a day for the vote could be reached. The statement was made in response to a request by MT Tillman for such an agreement. There was no other dis cussion of the rate bill during the day owing to the fact that no senator was prepared to speak. It was announced that MT. Spooner would reply tomOr- row to MT. Bailey's speech of yester- day
 The session was almost entirely de- voted to the consideration of the con ference report on the bill providing for the final settlement of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians, and in connection with that report there was sharp controversy over an amendment inserted by the senate, which provided for the ratification of the disbursement of $lS6,OOO of the loyal Seminole fund made by Special Agent J. F. Jenkins and Administrator A. J. Brown.
 The debate turned upon the eXcep- tiOnat Tact that the house was insist ing upon the retention of senate amendment from which the senate was apparently anxious to recede. The de- bate was characterized by a number of spirited passages between MT. Till man on the one side and MT. Teller and Clapp on the other. The South Carolina senator contended that the Indians had been defrauded, while his opponents urged that if they had been the proposed legislation did not de- prive them of their rights under the law No conclusion was reached.

Washington April 11.-D. E. Thomp- son, American ambassador in Mexico, advised the state department today that conditions in the Yaqui Indian territory of Mexico are improving, but it is still unsafe for persons to go there without military escort. The dis patch stated that the Mexican minis ter of foreign affairs has advised MT Thompson of the change for the bet ter, but warned him of the dangers still existing for persons not accom- panied by soldiers.
 The Mexican government is doing all in it's power to make travel among the Yaquis safe and is furnishing escorts for all persons located in the Indian country and for as many other persons as it can look after. No restriction other than that of prudence is now imposed on those who desire to enter the YaQui country.
