The Lenten season has improved the de-

storage are held at little better figures.
The storage supplies were reduced 10000
cases last week and now stand at about
5000. The season for buying for another

In meats, the frmness of pork and the
depression in beef makes the top quotation
the high price of hogs is that the western
farmers are more prosperous than formerly
and are not obliged to rush their hogs to
market, as soon as they are fit, to get the
ready money. 1t is said that the prices of
hogs are at the highest point since May,

pressed and there is talk of the lowest freight

MARKET REVIEW.
Big Reduction of Storage Butter-Hogs and
Steers Equal.

General business continues with undated
force. Textile machinery is well employed.
Local trade influences are all favorable Lum-
Der and wool are firm, The American Wool
en- company reports the best years bust
ness on record Wheat has slumped, making
new low record.
The butter market is on the basis OF zoe
in Boston, &c in New York and 90 l.2c in
Chicago This shows little decline in Chi
cago. putting it in less anomalous condi.
ton than the week before. The figures of
the market in February show that in New
York the amount of business done was a
record breaker, and in Boston the consnmp-
ton was much larger than year ago. The
exact figures are given below. The February
price in New York averaged five cents less
than last year but was about good Feb
ruary average. The lowest OF recent years
was zoe in 1898. The highest was the phe-
nomenal figure of last year-32ls-but bar
ring that the highest of late was 27.s7 in
1902 For February of this year the aver
age was 81. In Boston the February price
this year was &c to Sc less than year ago.
The receipts here last week were 1921
including 1862 for export. This
is not large figure for the season, The
Withdrawals from storage were the largest
on record--l7, 900 tubs, and the storage stock
now is LOG, 900 tubs. The following are the

LION LAZY AND LAMsLikE.

my first sensation was one of aston

Light at seeing such a fine beast. He
was beauty. and 1t seemed impossible
to realize that he was really wild as he
lay on enc side, looking at me with his
head raised as a dog does when he
hears his masters footstep. He was
fnt as butter, sleek coated and glossy.

from the other direction, did not wind

notice. Every one of these cases OF pneu-
monia resulted from q cold and could
have been prevented by the timely use OF

The first move in the coming po-
lltlcal battle in Idaho this year will
be held in Boise on March 18th, at
which time the republican state cen
trail committee will meet to name
the time and place of holding the re-
publican state convention. The
committee will also dec. de whether
the call for the state convention
shall include resolution recon-
mendlng the nomination of candi-
date for t. 5. Senator by that body,
and upon tins question We surmlse
there will be some spicy arguments
advanced, pro and con, by the mem
bers of the committee. What the
result will be no one can say at this
time.
Another question which the COM
mlttee may have some difficulty in
settling, is naming the town where
the convention will be held. Boise.
Lewiston, Pocatello and Idaho Falls
are after it, The Examiner has no
particular choice of places, but we
believe the convention should be
held at one of the three cities in the
southern part of the state. Moscow
had the convention two wears ago
and it seems only just that it should
come to the south tins year. For
the convenience Of Bear Lakes del
egates we would like to see the con-
vention held i'll Pocatello. The Gate
City has never entertained the re-
publican nominating convention.
but two years ago the convention to
select delegates to the republican
national convention was held there.
Pocatello Is able to take care of the
delegates in good style, but no
better than either of the other cities
named. Boise is probable the best
place, SO far as evening up the ex-
pense to the delegates from the var
ious sections of the state, is con-
cerned, but the capital city has had
the convention a number of times,
and these good things should be
passed around to the cities in the
state that are able to entertain such
gatherings. But no matter where
the convention is held, it is bound
to be lively one, and will attract
many besides the delegates.
