the harmonious and uninterrupted
movement Of the staple from producer
to consumer.
There have been in the past, iu-
stances OF excessive and unreasonable
speculation upon the cotton exchange.
notably the Sully speculations Of 1904.
We believe that there ds also great
deal Of speculation Of the gambling
type mentioned in the introduction to
this report. In our opinion, the cotton
exchange should take measures to ra-
strain and, so far as possible, prevent
these practices, by disciplining MEM
bers who engage in them. The OFFICERS
of the exchange must in many cases
be aware Of these practices, and could,
in our opinion, do much to discourage
them"
The committee closes with a review
of the experience Of Germany In re-
stricting exchanges and points out tho
unfavorable results Of the German Leg
islation There is an addendum con-
corning the complaint Of the New York
Bank Note Company that the stock
cept the American Bank Note. Conn
pany from engraving any securities
dealt in on that exchange. After dis
cussion of this complaint, and the an
swer of the stock exchange thereto the
committee says at would seem that
other considerations than the goodness
of the work and carefulness in guard
ing the plates are here operative. and
that the stock exchange has not rid It
self of the evils of monopoly"

all other classes of live stock sales, as
the latter are purchased and sold by
the pound. while the price of the form
er Is established by the fancy of deal
ers. An attribute called quality COM
bined with weight establishes the value
OF all classes OF horses, and as shippers
differ in judgment of quality the value
of the same horse differs widely ac-
cording to the fancy of dealers. Prin-
cipal demand is for fat drafters of ex-
IRENE weight and finish, which clear at
$225@300 and upward, a few special
orders being filled at s310@325 for Pa
cific coast delivery. Thin drafters are
slow at bargain prices, bulk of sales
being at $170@19O and up to 1910 for
desirable feeders. Expressers in fair
demand at $150@20O and good drivers
move at $15o@325 and upward.

Prices are not much changed for
any class compared with a week ago,
but as compared with early days this
month, bulk of the feeders are down
25@35 cents, altho top kinds show less
loss, and the stockers are quotable at
25@50 cents decline. Even tho the
prices are considerably Off from the
closing range in May there is a poor
tone to the market all around. Plenty
Of pasturage is being neglected be-
cause the steers appear too high in
price to the pasture owners, but IL they
are high now, they are at least con-
siderably lower than a short time ago.

The Commodity Exchanges.
In Its report on the exchanges that
deal in agricultural products the COM
mittee quotes the report of the indus
trial commission of congress in 1901
showing that selling for future delivery,
based upon a forecast of future con-
ditions of supply and demand, is an in
dispensable part of the worlds COM
mercial machinery, by which prices are
as far as possible, equalized thruout the
year to the advantage of both producer
and consumer. The committee then
says:
Buying for future delivery causes
advances in prices; selling short tenGs
to restrain inordinate advances. in
each case there must be a buyer and
a seller and the interaction of their
trading steadies prices.
Dealings for outsiders are usually
upon a 10 per cent margin; obviously
if this margin were increasing gener-
ally. say to 20 per cent, considerable
part of the criticism due to losses in
speculation, particularly as to the CO..
ton exchange, would be eliminated"
The Produce Exchange.

lions in mining shares on the produce
exchange in the following language:
From our examination of the trad

perience of this body in this class ST
business has resulted in neglect of
proper safeguards to the investor and
an undue Indictment to speculative
transactions of a gambling nature, and
should not be tolerated on the produce
exchange"

scoFFs AT BAY ROUTE.
Mackenzie Says Proposed Grain Way
ID. ImpracticabIe.

Edmonton, Alt, June 17.-Thomas
Mackenzie, the Hudson Bay Companys
factor at Moose Factory, on the fringe
of the Arctic, says Hudson's bay is
impracticable as grain route to Eu-
rope He has lived in the Moose Fac
tory district twenty years, and has
seen foes OF ice come into the bay as
early as September, and has known
the Hudson bay boats to be stuck in
the ice ninety days at stretch.
Mackenzie says the railway is FEAST
BILE. but a steamship line thru the
bay will never pay expenses. Last year
he started to Scotland by way OF the
bay, but the vessel was wrecked by an
Ice pack and he was obliged TO give up
the trip.

stoekyard and Trade Notes.

Best posted dealers in the southern
cattle trade estimate that the run will
practically be over this year by the
middle of June. There will be stray
CLING shipments until some time in
July, but it is generally predicted that
they will be smaller this year than
usual. The movement this year will
not be nearly so large as last and the
business on the whole has not been
entirely satisfactory to the dealers,
owing to the poor condition of the
cattle, due to dry weather in the south,
which made it difficult to handle them
to advantage.
Further declines in grassy heifers,
steers and cows are promised during
the coming week and killers will not
be satisfied until they are buying that
stuff 81 per cwt below the high prices
of May.
An advertised record run of calves
from the dairy sections has failed to
materialize this season Total supply
is running less than last year, but few

majority show decreases, including
Chicago, which is in the heart of the

The demand for cavalry mounts
has for several years exceeded the sup
ply and there is no army in Europe
that is properly equipped with horses.
In the event of a European war there
would be a horse famine in the class of
cavalry mounts. During the Boer war
England drew heavily on the United
States supply, but could not meet the
army demand for horses and mules.
The English government practically
exhausted the American supply, be-
sides denuding Europe OF its surplus
army horses. So serious is the question
of purchasing cavalry mounts that
many governments are breeding horses
suitable for army use to supply the
general deficit An order is now being
executed by the United States at the
Chicago market for cavalry and artil-
lery horses and the contractor COM

SOME SALES MADE At SLIGHT
PRICE REDUCTIONS, BUT
BUTCHER STUFF STEADY.
NOT MUCH ACTIVITY
DISPLAYED IN HOG MARKET
Values FIuctuated But Little, However,
and Closed Trifle Stronger Than
Final Figures of the Previous Day
Receipts Cut Down, Somewhat
Sheep rresuIar-Lambs Decline.

Chicago, June 17-Cattle showed
comparatively little price change. A
number of sellers tried for higher val
ues, but didn't succeed, and where
quality was lacking, some sales were
made at slight price reductions. Choice
quality were scarce. Butcher stuff was
steady.
Good quality of cattle marketings
has been the rule in past few days,
thus disproving many previously made
statements of feeders that they were
not feeding high priced corn literally.
Buyers claim that chief cause for their
indifference is the inability to sell beef
freely In local quarters and also in the
eastern states. The outlet has not been
good for the past two weeks, and in
stead of Improving, as was hoped, the
situation has drawn closer to state
of semi decentralization, which has SER
iouSly affected the steer trade and
greatly reduced the chances of ma
fertilization of the high June prices for
steers which many had anticipated.
Trade seems badly in need of a price
boosting stimulus. The steers are too
low in value compared with high hog
rates.
Hoqs.
-Altho receipts were cut down some
what, there was not much activity dis
played. Values tluctuated but little,
altho they closed trifle stronger than
Yesterdays final figures. There was
one sale of prime hogs, at $40, but the
average transactions were made at s.07.
Common, light, grassy, mixed and
rough heavy sorts were drug on the
market.
One reason for present high prices
for hogs is shown by comparison of
receipts with past periods of time.
Eighty-two thousand were received at
eleven markets yesterday, or $500 less
than week ago and 5000 less than
a year ago. The first half of this week
eleven markets received $4,000, or ST.
900 less than week ago and los, 900
