Few BARGAIN Sales.

+ New York, Dec. 29.-R. G. Dun &,
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Christmas week made a favorable
comparison with previous years as to
the volume of trade. Retailers stocks
of winter goods have been so Well dis
tributed that there remain less than the
usual assortments for bargain sales.
Wholesale business is good for the sea-
son and collections show further inn
provement. Jobbers are delivering
spring goods in some lines, adding to
the freight congestion. which has not
been relieved, except in isolated cases
Lack Of snow greatly facilitated build
ing operations at many cities and work
is making rapid progress, altho delayed
deliveries of materials retard opera
lions in this industry also.
However, high prices are maintained
in all sections of the iron and steel in
dustry, which is only natural when all
departments are crowded with work
and contracts run SO far into the flu
ture that there is no prospect of idle
machinery for at least the first half of
next year Partly because of railroad
blockades that retard delivery and in
some cases cause idleness at the finish
ing mills.
Jobbers are actively engaged in the
primary markets for cotton goods and
no sales of size are expected until after
inventories have been taken. The fu-
ture of the market depends upon spring
business equalling the volume antici-
pated by the large initial demand. Few
buyers are now in the market, but
holders are not urging sales and the
steadiness of raw cotton is supporting
influence. Export inquiries have not
increased, even the slight interest for
merly shown in sheetings having dim
inished. Few developments have APP
peared in mems wear woolens, but ac-
tivity is anticipated after the holidays
Narrow holiday markets have prevailed
for the leading staples of the farm,
small changes in prices occurring and
no developments of significance being
recorded.

This Week. Hoo Market.

This has been another good week for
the sellers of hogs. The receipts were
again lighter than usual for this sea-
son of the year and there has been
better outlet thru eastern shipping
channels. The, result was that prices
in the main showed strong to SC
higher range than one week ago.
Buyers have given the weighty hogs
more attention this week than for some
time and they have been discriminat-
ing against the commoner grades of
light mixed Yet the spread between all
classes of offerings is still very narrow,
the best butchers reaching $40 re-
Gently and only the ordinary mixed
packing had to go as low as 500.

ket will depend ) great deal upon the

ers getting prices on a lower basis.

Captain of Diamond 10 Line, Makes
/ Ereiaht Transportation Proposition.

Clinton, Dec. 29.-Captain Killeen.
superintendent of the Diamond 10 line,
has made the statement that if six
foot channel is guaranteed, his company
will operate boats exclusively for the
transportation of freight which will
handle all goods offered. This state
1flent was made in answer to the
charge that the Diamond 10 line, in
not soliciting more freight and is
operating only three or four months
in the year, is following the instruct-
ions of the Burlington road which, it
is alleged, controls the line. Captain
Killeen further says in justification
of the lines action that the steamers
are operated for passenger traffic
solely, and that freight is not solicited,
because if the boats were to relnilin
for large number of hours in tine
river ports, the trip would cease to he
one of pleasure. Low water forces
discontinuance in the winter, aud the
line cannot expect regular freight
patronage unless operating eight or
nine months.

Sheep for the Week.

Chicago, Dec. 29-General conGi-
tions were in favor of the sellers of
sheep and lambs this week, and the
bulk of the offerings sold 10@15c high
err than late last week, tho some prime
lots indicated zoe advance.
There are indications that the sup
now and there should be- "a marked
let-up in the marketing of half-fat
stock, and traders take a more opti-
mistic view of the situation.
Prime western yearlings this week
sold up to $685., western wethers made
$500 and western ewes brought $685.,
these prices standing the highest of the
season.
Most of the fair to choice ewes sold
at s4.75@5.50 here lately, the bulk of
good to choice wethers made $50 q
5S5 and yearlings sold largely at $3.50
@6.75.
Prime native lambs reached $500
since Monday and several strings of
extra choice western lambs made $7.S5.
Most of the fair to good very choice
western lambs made $7.25M7.S5, plain
ones going down to $500, and the ma
tives of very plain to good kind went
at s6.5O@7.5o, the choice lots going at
s6.5O@75O, the choice lots going at
$7.75@ 7.9O. Feeders We're scarce and
sold at $6.65@6.75.
The market is in better control of the
owners of lambs and traders have
strong hope of maintaining prices on
good, strong basis if the receipts are
more equally distributed turnout next
week and the offerings in plain flesh
are kept off the market until they are
in good condition for slaughter.

MANY GREENE COUNTY DlrcHEs
Immense Amount Of Work Undertaken

Special to Times-Republican.
Jefferson. Dec. 2s.-The new drain
age law, passed by the Iowa legisla-
ture two years ago last winter, has
been taken advantage of with great
zest by the people OF this county, no
less than eighteen drainage districts
having been suggested and petitioned
for OF these eighteen. two have been
turned down. eight have been estab-
Iished, two have been completed, three
are in process of construction. and
eight are pending in the preliminary
stages.
In nearly every instance those who
asked for the Improvement have met
with bitter opposition at the start.
and 1t was honest opposition, too. due
to the feeling that the improvement
would not be worth what 1t was going
to cost. But in several cases this OPP
position has largely disappeared as the
work progressed. and we believe that

were blown almost to atoms, frag-

for several yards around. The steam
shovel was wrecked by the force of the
explosion and as it fell the heavy scoop
caught Weber beneath it and so bad
ly crushed him that he died a few hours
after being released.

NOT HALF OF the Elevators OF Northern
Iowa Are Buying Corn.
Fort Dodge, Dec. 29.-"Not one half
the grain elevators of northern Iowa
are buying at this time. Their eleva-
tors are full and they cannot get cars
to ship the grain away"
This surprising but authentic state
ment was made by E. A. Armstrong,
manager for Ware & Lelands Fort
Dodge office, to Messenger represen-
tative.
Continuing, Mr.. Armstrong said: Il
do not think that but a small percent
age of this years corn crop has left
the hands of the farmers yet. 1t can
be figured that the money that has
been brought in by the sale of corn
SO far is insignificant compared with
what may be expected later.
THE condition of the corn is good.
This is splendid drying weather and
any complaints of soft corn may be
lightly considered now"
Ware & Leland, besides, dealing in
futures for speculation handle large
amount OF grain for elevators. Both
