LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Conditions In Chicago Of Interest
To Iowa Producers.

Chicago, June %.
CATTLE-.While the receipts of cat
tie last week did not prove to b. ex-
cessive the market closed up rather
slow on the medium and half fat
kinds with the bulk of the cattle sell
ing at &c and up, showing an advance
of 15c@25c per cwt. Receipts today
were not very heavy, estimate being
$4,000 and bulk of the fat steers were
readily bought up at good strong
prices. We sold several punches to-
day at $6.25@6,S0, which looked like
a shade higher than last weeks close
Butcher stuff ruled about steady. We
do not look for heavy run the bal.
anco of the week and expect a steady
to strong market. The readers of this
paper will do well to write the Iowa

rect and have them give you their
views on your particular kind of stock.
1t is free for the asking.
HOGS-fhe hog market closed up
in fair shape last week. however, re.
ceipts were unusually heavy again to-
day and will foot up fully $4,000. MAJ
ket was slow to open and ruled fully
10c lower. The packers were good
buyers, but on account of the heavy
run, had no trouble whatever in buy
ing their hogs at a decline. Ship
ping orders were rather light, but at
the close the hogs were pretty well
bought up. Extreme top today, $6.15,
with the bulk of the hogs $590@6.O0.
Provision markets rule strolg and we
believe we will see a fair market the
balance of this week.
SHEEP-The market continues in a
very unsettled condition and in a good
many instances prices were 75c lower
than last week. We have been advis-
ing our friends right along to give us
their sneep and lambs that were
ready for market, and we still think
for anyone having anything that is
fat enough to market it is a good time
to let them come along.

Two Discharged Miners Create Dis
turbance At Store.

Dick Ravens and Ora Emery were
arrested last evening by Constable
Geo. Andrews and Police officer John
Ruggenberg at Blyth, charged with in
toxicatiOn and assault and battery.
Ravens ald Emery while under the in
fluence of liquor went to the company's
store at Blytn and proceeded to start
a rumpus. The victims of their at
tack were Hugh Carey, one of the
clerks in the store, and Manager How
ard Wilcox They caught Carey and
beat him, but were overcome before
they got Wilcox. Carey was not badly
hurt. s..
Constable Geo. Andrews was called
and with Officer Johl Ruggenberg
started out for Blyth, going about five
miles of the way in the rain. Ravens
and Emery were arrested and brought
to this city. Havens pleaded guilty
and was given thirty days in Jail. EN-
cry pleaded not guilty and will be Civ.
en- hearing this evening at 1880.
The cause of the attack arose over
a check. Havens and Emery had been
employed at the Blyth mines but were
discharged on account of inability to
work. Last evening while drunk they
went to the store and demanded a
check which they claimed was due
them. 1t was found, however, that
they had drawn out all the money they
had coming to them when discharged.
On account of the rain storm the Off
GERS had to sleep in the store all night,
bringing their prisoners to the city this
morning
