Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago. Feb 24.-Country demand
for stockers and feeders was fairly
liberal Friday and there was also
moderate call from the local order
b,,yers. but the quality of supplies did
not come up to expectations OF the
country lockers Chief demand again
called for well-bred steers, and not
MANY of these were at hand. The
general market for all classes was
about steady, however, and while there
was slow trade in early hours fair
movement was later noted and not
very liberal supply will have to go
over for next weeks market. one load
of choice steers sold up to S41o today,

Several droves landed UP to $3.50, and
met no difficulty in getting rid of the

ers have complained of late that the
dealers ask far above the market for
their holdings, thus making trading
much more difficult.

says:

Prices are firmly held as rule, except

activity still further into the future.

BURLINGTON HAS HOUSE.
Euan Gets the Oneida Indian Fielder
From Minneapolis.

John House, the Indian outfielder
who played during the season of 1904
with the Grays, and who has been very
popular here ever since, will wear the
uniform of Burlington this year. Man.
ager Egan has secured House from
Watkins, of the Minneapolis team, who
bought him of the local club at the
close of the 1904 season. House Will
play in the outfield. Ottumwa got
House last year. He was given to
Kennedy with the understanding that
Watkins, at the end of the season.
should have his choice of players from
the Ottumwa team in exchange for
him. Watkins chose Beaver, but be-
fore he had done so, Beaver had been
sold by Kennedy to Detroit, of the
American League. Watkins then chose
House, and by an arrangement made
during the winter Egan got him. Now
Ottumwa is setting UP the claim that
House belongs to it by reason of re-
verse clause in the contract he sign
ed last season.

Butcher Stock Declined Fifteen
to Twenty-Five Cents During
the Week
NEW RECORD MADE IN HOGS
Prime Heavy Hogs Sell Up to $685.,
Which Is 2Ia Cents Higher Than
All Previous Sales This Season
Early Advance Lost-sheep Prices
Rule Unchanged Today.

Chicago. Feb 24.-Cattle--Three
hundred proved enough for the de-
mand. prices ruling mostly nominal.
Receipts for the week were close to
$4,000 and prices closed largely 10@15
cents lower for steers than a week
ago. Butcher stock declined 15@25
cents during the week. Stocker and
feeder trade is active.
Hogs.
There was good early speculative
and shipping demand, so that compe-
tition caused numerous lots to sell 212
as cents higher, but the early advance
was lost in a short time. A new high
record price was recorded, prime heavy
hogs selling up to 6.35, az cents above
all previous sales this season. The
weeks receipts were 179,S00.
"The hog market is getting to be a
queer one these days" remarked a
seller. zone day the big houses will
sternly announce to sellers that
therell be nothing toward aiding
strenth in the market and the next
day come into the trade with both feet
and get most of the good hogs at top
line prices. Evidently they're selling
provisions one day and buying them
back again the next"
Sheep.
There was the usual meagre Satur-
day supply, and little was done. prices
ruling unchanged. Receipts for the
week were 75,400. Lambs We're of,
largely 25 cents this week, compared
with a week ago, while sheep declined
1OM15 cents.
Absence of early shipping and ex-
port orders this week were RESPONSE
BILE for the break in prices, and While
there has been relatively keener de-
mand from outsiders in the closing
days, this may again shrink by the
next Monday, and the trade is there
fore hoping for supply that day con-
siderably under the run of 2S,50o last
Monday. Big supplies are not needed.
The increased runs this week put
prices for many steers under the
sharply lower level in force at the
close a week ago. and the trade is now
sorely in need of rest from big offer
ings in order that supplies may be
suited to the conditions now prevail

Railway Business Large.

New York, Feb. 24.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Springlike weather stimulates job
bling distribution, inducing larger
volume Of house trade and also helping
retail business in spring and summer
fabrics. Crop preparations are going
forward actively and at the south ac-
<ual planting has been done. AT prac-
tically all points an early and long
spring season is predicted. Many
commodities show an easing tone. this
being especially noticeable in bread
stuffs cotton, hides and lines of pro-
duct effected by weather conditions. On
the other hand the season favors active
building and lumber. brick and hard
ware among others are very strong.
The railways are active as never be-
fore at this season. Earnings are
breaking all records and larger part
of the gross receipts are showing up
in the net, because the usual winter
expenditures are down to the mini
num- Collections are, taken as a
whole, very fair. Money has shown
tendency to work firner. Bank clear
ings are large for the season, and, in
fact, exceed all previous February ag-
gregates.
