rBy Telegraph to The TriSuns-I

Albany Oct IA scandal Is threatened IN the
state canal board. which IS controlled oy me
Democrats Superintendent F C. Stevens. OF the
State Department OF Public works seems 20 DO
a thorn in tho side Of certain Democratic mem
bers Of the board. particularly State Engineer
Frederick Skene. who not renozninated by the
last Democratic State Convention Mr. Skene mas
the backing OF Attorney General Jackson. VINO
was turned down ~hen he requested a renom-
ination.
There IS lively aght on as TO whether the
state should purchase piece Of property for 800
90 from the Ontario knitting Company The
property in question is the east bank OF the new
barge canal in Oswego, and was originally pur-
chased for $4,000
It appears from the official records OF the pro
ceedIngs OF the state canal board that the COM
pany demands $4,000 for the land The majority
Of the board are OF the opinion that the property
IS not needed for canal purposes. but Mr. Skene
holds otherwise.
1t IS limited that politics has been Injected into
the controversy. Judge Charles " BuIger. Demo
cratic leader Of Oswego. Is attorney for the knit
ting company and II is reported that Democratic
State Chairman ''F'tngey'' Corners has sent WORD
to Albany that he would like 70 have the PROPOSE
ton go through
Superintendent Stevens was uisled early IN ths
wear into approving the appropriation OF the min
property but later asked the board TO rescind ks
action and have the State Engineer prepare a new
map as original plans for the canal Old not N
tornev General Jackson for an opinion. and was IN
formed that the assent Of the canal board must
be secured before change OF plans could be nadeN
and that the service Of the appropriation papers on
the knitting company not binding The canal
board decided that the change Of plans to Include
the mill property was not necessary. Mr. stevens
also asked Mr. skene to state why IL was neces-
sary to change The plans. but the latter did not
reply.
Later State Engineer Skene. to the surprise OF
ALL produced before the canal board an opinion OK
Attorney General Jackson in favor Of the appro-
priation OF the mill property. The second opinion
Of the Attorney General exactly contrary 70
the first opinion IN closing, he said the approva4
Of the canal board Of the appropriation OF tho
mill property not necessary and the ser
vice Of the papers on the knitting company was
regular and legal The board, however, voted 70
have the State Engineer draw map that would
eliminate the mill property From last accounts

CATTLE-For Saturday there was a very
large run of cattle at this point, forty
eight cars being reported in, but they were
practically all consigned direct to packers
or to the northern range so that there
was really nothing on sale. Receipts OF
cattle at this point have been rather light
this week. there being a heavy falling off
as compared with last week and a still
heavier decrease as compared with a year
ago. AT the same time, other markets,
especially Chicago, have had quite liberal
runs, so that the total supply of cattle on
sale during the week has been liberal for
this season OF the year. The arrivals at
this point have consisted very largely of
corn-fed steers and COW stuff on the grassy
order. A feature of the weeks trade has
been the increased run of Texas cattle to
southern points, st. Louis especially having
had a large run of southern grass cattle.
The cattle market from a sellers poirt of
view this week has not been entirely salts
tendency, while the demand has not been
nearly so urgent as during the previous
week. The influx of southern grass cattle
had the natural effect of reducing the de-
mand for the common to medium grades
of short fed natives, so that the market
on that kind declined steadily for lack Of
buying support. At the close OF the week
the market is S@40c lower on the general
run Of beef steers than, one week ago.
Strictly good to choice beeves. however,
have not suffered that much, but they are
l0ul5c lower, at least.
Cows and heiters suffered in about the
same degree as beef steers and for about
49, 49,
plentiful, there was not so much inquiry
for grassy cows and the market on the
general run of common to pretty decent
cow stuff Is 26Q4Oc lower at the close OF
the week. Strictly good dry-lot cow and
heifers, on the other hand, are not over
100000 lower,
Receipts OF stockers and feeders we're
very moderate throughout the week. Al
the same time there was no very great de-
mand for that class of cattle, still there
was sufficient inquiry to keep the moderate
supply pretty we'll cleaned up and prices
for the wsek show comparatively little
change.
