New Method of Keeping Potatoes.

A German publication, The Prac-
teal Adviser in Fruit Raising and Gar
dening," states that new method for
keeping potatoes and preventing
sprouting consists in placing them on
a layer of coke DR.. Schiller of Bruins
wick. who has published the method,
is of the opinion that the improved
ventilation by means of coke is not
alone responsible for the result. but
believes that it is due to the oxidation
of the coke, which, however, is very
slow one. Coke always contains sui
phur, and 1t is very possible that the
minute quantities of oxides of carbon
and sulphur, which result from the OK
idation, mixing with the air and pene-
trating among the potatoes are suff1-
cient to greatly retard sprouting. Po-
tatoes so treated are said to keep in
good condition until the following
July.

Washington, May 6.-Theres a
joker in the silk schedules of the Aid
rich measure, according to the people
who import silk and sell it in this
country. There is no joker at all. ac-
cording to Senator Aldrich.
The question of whether there is or
is not a joker is going to be aired
when when the silk schedule is reached
in the consideration of the measure.
Senator Aldrich in the explanation
of the bill told the senate that the COM
mittee had changed the ad valorem to
specific duties, but had not increased
them. The bill would continue to i'm
pose the same duties as heretofore. und
would collect the same revenues.
Importers of silks, velvets, silk plus
tas and the like have looked into the
measure and decided that the Rhode
Islander was in error. They have set
their experts at work with their old
invoices and figured out the duties that
We're actually paid on specific bills of

Representative Cattle Sales.
Suckers and Feeders.

The high prices of late have tended
to cut down, the demand. Advances in
fat steer values in the last ten days
have been far greater than noted in
the feeding cattle trade, however.
Quality considered, tho, the sales this
week have been well up to the high
est point this year. Feeder dealers are
not hopeful Of getting the prices much
lower in the near future. With the fat
cattle trade in good shape many owners
Of feeding steers are induced to hold
them at home and buy corn to feed.
The situation in the country has
changed considerably of late Tendency
is not to ship thin steers, and with
prospects for small supplies the trade
is not looking for lower prices.
Nothing in the stocker line which
is at all decent has had to go much
under s4.25, tho some poor old scala
wags sold down to 1915 and lower.
Bulk Of the fair to good stockers
changed hands at $4.40@5.00 and most
Of the medium to good feeders went at
$4.90@5.40. Dealers still quoted a top
kind up to $5.60@575.

BUYERS BASED CONTENTION FOR
LOWER RANGE OF VALUES
ON LIBERAL RECEIPTS.
HOGS WERE SLOW ALMOST
FROM START TO FINISH
Opening Prices Were Steady to Strong,
But Market Became Slow When
Shippers Orders Were FilIed-Trad-
ers Again Favored Selling Side of
Sheep Market-choce Lambs High.

Chicago, May 6.-Cattle buyers were
out for lower prices today. basing their
contention for a lower range of values,
On liberal receipts. A few sales were
made early Prices weakened per-
ceptibly, and the bulk of cattle sold
weak to ten lower. Top steers went at
700
Receipts for the week thus far are a
little short of last week, but the outlet
is considerably better and that makes
great difference in the market. Buy.
ers say the demand for beef is much
more satisfactory.
Prices now are very much the same
as year ago.
AT the five principal western markets
for the first four months Of this year
there has been a falling off in the cattle
supply of about $4,000 head, compared
with last year. All the minor markets,
with few exceptions, show a decrease
and the total deficiency in slaughter all
over the country reaches big figures.
Had industrial conditions been more
favorable and the purchasing power of
the public been normal or better this
falling off in the supply would surely
have resulted in sensational prices.
Hogs.
Hogs We're quotable steady to strong
at the opening. There Were instances
where gains of 5 cents were shown,
but when shippers filled order, the
market became slow. Packers showed
no inclination to take hold at prices
that were not better than steady In
dications We're for a slow market till
the close.
The weak feature of the hog market
is a diminishing shipping demand, pur-
chasing on eastern account being much
lighter than last year and less than last
week.
Receipts of hogs at this market
since Jan. l, have been greatly re-
duced the total decrease at five mar
kets for four months being over $780,
600 head. This was quite enough to re-
suit in high prices and under present
conditions nobody looks for cheap hogs
until the crop is greatly enlarged.
Sheep.
Sheep actions of traders were again
favorable to the selling side of the
market. Advances in lambs varied from
strong to 10 cents higher. Choice lambs
eclipsed the high figure of the day be-
fore by only 5 cents, making 1895, the
record price for wool sorts. Shorn
lambs We're barely enough wanted to
make sellers able to secure $3.50 for
top kinds.
