Melbourne, April 3o.-(Special.)-T VIC
torian state government has decided 70
suspend the issue of fresh coal mining
leases. The total coal requirements Of
the state are now 1,250,000 tons yearly Of
which the railways consume $4,000 tons.
In an interview, Mr.. Murray, the state
premier, said that It was becoming more
and more recognized that coal was an abb
solute necessity In the life Of a civilized
community. The government would ask
for parliamentary sanction to take the
public coal from the state mines Tor man
ufacturing and domestic purposes. The
government did not seek to make proht
and would only require return which
would defray working expenses and pro-
vide interest and sinking fund.

From the National Monthly
One morning a popular young minister
was presenting his view upon import
ant subject under discussion, and insisting
that he held certain things to be true,
the commentators Notwithstanding. He
contended II hold this to be true even
though the commentators disagree with
me-and again. say even though the
commentators disagree with me-
At this point an old lady was seen to
leave the church. On his way home from
the service the minister was met by this
old lady bearing a basket. She stopped
and handed it to him saying, Dear
Brother, I heered you say the common
taters disagree with you. so I've brought
you a basket of Virginia yams."

Hubbard Bros. & CO... Letter

New York, April 30-(Special) -Europe
is still disturbed over the effects of
the losses arising from the fraudulent
documents on the shipments from Ala
bama Bankers abroad are nervous over
all documents coming forward. and will
be for some time to come. For this
condition they cannot be blamed, and
their views are reacting upon the mar.
kets, which were lower than We ex-
pected.
Here the absence of sellers. together
with rather more demand for cotton
goods, brought about a small advance
on the old crop. II this demand con-
tinues we think it may lead to a de-
mand for cotton from this market, while
this uncertainty regarding southern
through bills of lading Is disturbing the
financial world. Our reports from Mis-
sissippi valley of the damage of the
freeze of last week are serious.
Liverpool should advance some points
on Monday.

Brooklyn Eats Goat

From the New York Press.
Twenty thousand pounds OF goat meat
is consumed in Brooklyn weekly now
because of the high prices demand
ed for beef, lamb, mutton and pork.
1t is selling at s or cents pound
lower than mutton and lamb, and no
effort is being made to violate the law
by concealing its identity. Most of the
goat meat is used by the poorer classes.
Many of those WHO use 1t say they
like it fully as well as the higher
priced meats. They also assert 1t is
equally nourishing. Most of the goat
meat supply comes from the western
meat centers, and the goats are sent
here killed and dressed for the whole
sale market.
Dealers in that borough say that
last year scarcely any goats were sent
10 their market and that now goat meat
is recognized commodity, which
seems to be growing In popularity
in the poorer sectioni 1t is thought
n the existing high meat prices con-
tinue the use of goat meat will spread
to Manhattan and the Bronx, and
thousands of persons will use that flesh
as a substitute for more expensive
meats. What the consumers fear Is that
as soon as the meat trust knows the
goat is competing with 1T in the most
important market in this country 1t
will proceed to corner, the goat supply
and jack up the prices

Influence on Upward
Movement.

NEW YORK. March 12.-There was a
residu OF short salees to be covered In to-
days stock market, which were put out late
yesterday to the accompaniment OF ru-
mors, which had no foundation In fact. The
demand did not extend much beyond that
source.
A good impression was made by the
agreement arrived at between the Baltimore
a Ohio management and its employees over
the wage dispute. The strong financial
showing made by the railroads in the New
was sustaining influence. There was in evil
dence, also, the supporting operations I'm
United States steel, which have been a
influence on tibet marke
throughout the week.
A restraining Influence is the obvious
hardening tendency OF the money market.
While the call loan department has not
been affected this week, It is expected
that higher rates will prevail in the not
distant fture. Rates for time loans were
advanced another fraction today. There
rates and further Withdrawals were made
from the Bank OF England's gold holdings.
The bank statement showed the effect Of
the withdrawal Of cash by the interior
in connection with the spring planting
season. The weeks financing has expanded
the loan account, which now exceeds the
deposits again for the first time since
January g..
Bonds were steady. Totals sales, par
value, $1,6S6, 900.

SHEEP-Week-end trade in the sheen
barn was featured by the same lively de-
mand Of earlier sessions and while lambs
acted a little slow toward the close yes
terday, the easier feeling made little inn
preston upon the price list, some high
OF $3.50. Colorados are still running freely
and a good share OF the receipts this week
consisted of well-finished Mexicans, a
spread of S9.2O99.D taking most OF
the offerings. Nothing respectable was
weighed up under the 800 line. Good
kinds OF lambs are selling about 15c higher
than they were at last weeks close. There
was nothing OF consequence on sale today.
ShoTn lambs have been marketed from
Nebraska sections, but shipments nave been
scattered and the volume of business small.
The best clipped lambs here this week
came from Burnham feed lots and sold at
that the usual spread OF Sl.OO between
shorn and wooded kinds is to be preserved.
II has also been a record-breaking week
in the sheep department. Supply has been
decidedly limited, as will b. noted in the
table OF receipts, and demand urgent. Ewes,
wethers and y~eaTlings established new
records. Nebraska and Iowa feed lots have
been pretty well drained and many OF the
wethers fed IN Montana this year were
bought by Seattle butchers and also shipped
TO northern sections so that the market
Western ewes topped at $40, Mexican
wethers at t7.S and Mexican yearlings
at 1915 on the local market this week.

Cotton Market.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 2011
points in response to reactionary cables,
which were attributed to weekend realiz-
ing in a narrow market. Southern bull
leaders were good buyers on the initial
decline and prices rallied to within three
or four points OF last nights close on the
active months during the first few minutes
on this demand and covering while sellers
were rendered cautious by the talk of
a possible May corner and bullish weekend
figures.
