Fair Demand For Better Quality
But Slow Trade For Under
grade Receipts
HOG PRICES REcEDED TODAY
Keen Demand Was Not Feature of
the Market as Yesterday, and There
Was a Decline of About Five Cents
Sheep Trade Steady to Strong =
Lambs Active as Ever.

Chicago, June 19.-Cattle trade was
slow. but about steady. The trade had
more cattle yesterday than We're need
ed and this cut off the demand today
For the better sorts of CATTLE particu-
larry handy weights, there was fair de-
mand, but on undersrade sorts, it was
a slow trade.
Strictly choice steers are relatively
scarce and sellers express the belief
that such kinds will continue to form
4 slim proportion of the receipts from
now on, and that the prices for them
will work upward, altho there seems
little hope of any material gain in val
ues for the medium and lower grade
kinds, and considerably wider range
of prices is therefore in prospect.
The reason for the sudden bulge in
receipts is attributed to the fact that
pastures are getting short in many
parts OF Iowa and Missouri. In fact. 1t
is drer than usual all over the corn
belt. and a good many feeders are
showing some anxiety to get rid of
their cattle.
The demand proved very satisfac-
tory yesterday for the desirable grades
of cattle, and the late trade was not
quotably worse than the early market.
The big run, which was estimated at
$4,000 late in the day. was pretty we'll
bought up. and sellers We're fairly well
satisfied that they got out so well.
Shippers bought freely and the outlet
for the fat heavy cattle was good. Sell
ers are of the opinion, however that a
continuation of liberal receipts will de-
moralize the markets and that if pos
sible offerings should be modified for
the balance of the week. The fact that
buyers were compelled to take so many
cattle yesterday will naturally make
their desires weaker for the next few
days.
Hogs.
The demand lost the keenness which
was the feature of the market yester-
day. and prices receded. the bulk of
stuff selling at decline of about five.
A factor against high prices was the
large percentage of nearby stuff lack
ing in the right quality.
Sheep.
Trade was steady to strong. The de-
mand for lambs was as active as ever
and $3.50 was readily paid for prime.
shorn lambs. while 4 few choice spring
lambs sold at SS.25.

THE DRoUTH BROKEN
Rain Was General in This State and
Crops Will Derive Great Benefit,
AItho the Hay Crop Will Be

Reports to the Times Republican
from a large portion of the state, es-
pecially in the western and central
parts, show the rain was general last
night and this morning The rain was
badly needed and will be worth mill
ions of dollars to Iowa farmers. who
We're beginning to fear for the crops.
Along the western border the rains
have been heavy enough to cause
flood. and some lands are inundated.
The Associated Press sent out the fol-
lowing dispatch from Council Bluffs:
Council Bluffs, June 19.-Lowlands
along the Iowa side of the Missouri
river, north and south of this point,
We're inundated yesterday by the over
flow of that stream in places. A con-
siderable acreage of growing grain
crops mas been submerged. The river

whose level has been raised several
feet in twenty four hours.

THOROUGHBRED DROPS DEAD.
Sysonby Was Probably the Greatest
Race Horse of the Decade.

New York, June 1s.-Sysonby is
dead! Perhaps the greatest race horse
this country ever knew. and possibly
the best Of all time, fell dead in his
box at Sheepshead Bay at 1 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. Courageous to the
end. he refused to give UP until the
last ounce of his strength was expend-
ed. and he died as he had lived - a
grave hearted thoroughbred.
James r. keene. the owner of Syson-
by, refused to discuss his financial loss
last night, but was willing to eXtol at
length the great qualities Of the horse.
1t is remembered. however, that when
an offer of 100000 was made few
months ago for Sysonby Mr. Keene
merely replied that money would not
buy him.
For more than two months Sysonby
has been ailing from a disease of the
skin, pronounced by the ablest veteri-
narians to be of virulent character.

HEAVY RAINS SAVE CROPS.
Drouth in Southwest Broken, Prevent

''S .0' SS .SSSSSs
st. Louis. June 19.-There Is great
rejoicing in many sections Of the
southwest where the long drouth has
been broken by the rains of Sunday
night and yesterday 1t is estimated
that many thousands of dollars have
been saved to the farmers, who had be-
gun to despair of their oats and corn
crops.
In sections of Missouri there has
been no rain for two months, while
other sections have gone nearly as
long. In northwest Missouri oats and
potatoes have been ruined, but hope
is now entertained for the corn crop.
In Illinois considerable damage was
done to wheat, which was ready to
harvest, but no complaint is heard be-
cause of the great benefit to corn and
oats

New Haven rhcnter.

When Mrs Mckee Rankin (then Kitty Blanchard) appeared as Billy Piper in the original production of The Danites' in New York in 1877, it appealed to the public as an innovation. That a woman could assume the part of a miner in the days of '49' in Cali fornia with consistency, seemed mar vicious, and it stamped her as a super for artist, it being conceded that like Lawrence Barrett's "Cassius" the part would die with her. Mrs. Rankin play ed the part for years, she and her hus- band anassing a fortune, and then it was laid aside. It remained for Miss Blanca West to assume that most try ing character in the recent big revival of The Danites,N and to her wonderful rendition of the part may be attributed the success Of the production in great measure The press has been most en- thusiastic over her work.
 Frcm the Philadelphia North Ameri- can: Joaquin Millers famous play, The Danites was given by a strong cimpany in excellet style at the Girard. Altogether this is one of the best Amer ican plays ever written. The Theme of the Mormans in their early days and their band of Destroying Angels, who furnish name to the drama, are power- full in plot and finely worked out. The characters, too, are powerful in plot and finely worked out The characters too, Sandy the Parsons Billy Piper, the girl whose life is no strangely shad- owed, are all remarkable creations. The play was well done and handsomely staged
 "The Danites' will be given at the New Haven theater tonight, Friday and Saturday nights, and at the Sat urday matinee. Hallett Thompson will be seen as Sandy and Blanca West as Billy Piper" Seat sale now open.
