Wall street already is beginning to

Of Mr.. Shaw's successor in the
treasury department, and the general .l
viii conduct the operations Of
the treasury in it's relation to the
banks on lines similar to those adopted
by the present secretary Of the treas
ury. AS Mr.. Shaw in all his actions
has been backed and Endorsed by the
president and the other members of the
president s cabinet, there is no reason
to suppose that Mr.. Cortelyou will not
follow in the footsteps of his prede-
cessor.r ar.
It is believed in well-informed cir
cles that the rumors of Forthcoming
extra distributions Of profits on North
ern Pacific and Great Northern stocks
are well founded. Unless monetary
who should be in a position to know
what is being done by both the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern directors,
believe that the plans for giving stock
holders of both companies extra divi-
dends, either in cash OF stock, will be
carried thru on or before Jan. l.
The contest for control Of the Hi
nois Central had little effect adversely
on the stock market, it having been ac-
cepted all along that the road would
ultimately pass under the control of
Union Pacific interests. It seemed to
be only a question as to how long MI.
Fish could maintain his position.
A railroad man who is watching the
situation closely says that he is entire

are being worked out by the st. Paul

A prominent Chicago financial man
who is here says that from what he
can learn there need be no fear of an
outbreak among the employees Of the
large railroad systems over the matter
of wages and hours. He understands
that the negotiations are almost certain
to result lin concessions on both sides.
Another well-informed man who is in
touch with many of the most promi-
nent railroad officials says that his in
formation is Of the same character.
A prominent Canadian Pacific direc-
tor who is in town says that present
conditions in Canadian Pacific s terri
tory are far in excess of even the best
informed inside interests three years

certain that 1907 will be the greatest
year in the, development Of Canada
thus far. 54c, STANLEY schroff. ~

and asking If there is not law which
requires all poultry to be drawn. The
seeming imperative and inspectors
seemingly inopperative, and inspectors
are not paying any attention to it. In
fact, most dealers are advising their
trade to ship undrawn, as goods will
not carry properly shipped in any other
manner. Drawn poultry sours quickly
and the majority of retailers will not
buy. it.. Shippers are also advised
against sending in their turkeys. Any
man who can afford to buy turkey
wants a good plump one-and the thin

low priced poultry. : It, may be advis-
able to hold chickens back until after

MINNEAPOLIS PRODUCE

A decline in the price Of eggs would
not have surprised The average handler
this week. The demand was lacking
except for a nominal amount. The
trade Of most houses was cut in half
and stocks began to accumulate, not
withstanding the fact that arrivals
were not above the average. Consum-
ers have evidently cut them out for
table use, and are only using them for
cooking when necessary. Cold storage
goods are not responsible for the weak
tone, as the supplies now on hand are
only drawn out when the price is salts
factory, and are not being forced in
order to clean up. Some freezing
weather will be needed to add tone to
the market, and unless it comes a
lower range is quite probable. Cash
offers for goods are under those Of q
week ago., showing that buyers are
fearful Of decline. .ss5 ii 4. Z. B
Butter values have held steady on
all grades. !. Supply and demand have
run close together, and stocks today
are not large enough to warrant ex-
pectation Of an Immediate change in
values. Demand is hardly as active for
packing stock as last week. Ladders
are finding a narrower outlet for their
make of goods.
Top grades Of cheese are firm. The
supply is not above requirements, and
those who hold the desirable lines are
maintaining q strong range Of asking
prices. New goods are not coming IN
freely, and The production will be
lighter from now on.
Spring chickens are higher than at
the opening Of the week, the demand
being driven to them BY the poor
quality Of tie hens now arriving.
Farmers are wedding out their thin,
scrubby stock, which has a tendency to

Watson from New York-A sagging

slonal and the demand at the advances

Charles E. Lewis, from New York:
United States Steel common is still. be-
ing strongly tipped for rise and also
as the market leader. Earnings of the
United States Steel corporation for the
last quarter, which were published
recently, were heavier than in any cor
responding period in the history Of the
corporation, amounting to more than
$38 100000 net, and Indicating net
earnings for the calendar year Of up
ward Of $150,000,0OO. If the earn
ings of the corporation continue at. the
present rate, the dividend. on the com.
mon doubtless will be restored to a. 4
percent basis at no remote period, but
at the moment the concern has much
construction work on hand, including
the building Of. vast plants at the town
of Gary, and the directors have de-
cided to use earnings for this work
rather than raise funds thru the issue
Of bonds. Hence the stockholders
were. compelled at the last directors
meeting to forego the enjoyment of an
Increased distribution on their holdings.

Conditions governing the market for
cattle havey shown improvement over
last week and in all branches higher
prices were realized. The lighter re-
ceipts Of stockers and feeders proved
beneficial and on Monday last the mar
ket recovered most of last weeks de-
cline and prices were fully as good
as were paid on the opening day OF
last week. Good heavy feeders were
in demand and $3.85@4.05 was paid
for the best Of the &c offerings wi with the
Steers at $S.s503.75. Yearlings Of top
quality sold at $3.50@3.75, but the
stockers and light yearlings of only
fair quality sold at $3@3.50, with the
common steers as low as $3.50. Stock
heifers found ready sale ranging
from $1.75@3, but the most of the of
ferings dropped into the $2.25@2.75
notch. Yard traders found a. very mar
row outlet to the country early. in the
week, but after elections were over
buyers came to market with the result
that the spectators division shows a
good cleanup for the week.
In fat cattle trade has been active
and generally higher. Each day wit
better grades. Top Of 1925 was paid
for a string Of 40D-pound beeves this
week, which is the highest point
reached at this market, and Sc was
also paid for two loads Of 1,l37 pound
steers Of good quality. The light and
just fair quality beeves ranged from
$4,50@5.40. Good butcher stock sold
at $4,000, but the bulk of the cows
were Of just fair quality and sold at
$2.50@3.25, with Gamers and cutters

So stands the general public in
the contest between coal operators
and coal miners, says the Washing
ton Post. Their differences are stiIl
unsettled, and the public i being

prices will not occur.
There is no claim that miners
have not been getting full wages a.
compared with former years. There
is every reason to believe operator !
have been making larger percent
ages Of profit upon actual invest
inents than ever before.
There is no doubt the coal-carry-
ing roads have increased their net
earnings very largely.
The necessities of the people have
been carefully considered by both
sides, and regardless Of public and
private loss and inconvenience the
