Observation-Disclosures,


CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The packers
wholesale prices for food products now.
as compared with the maximum high
prices of the decade, which was in last
January, us quoted in The above table,
show material reduction. The
dressed beef includes what is known
as "Number /, - the best product.
The prices remained at the top until
well along In the spring, when the in
lux Of lambs and sheep caused the first
break. Cattle which have sold az high
as Sll hundredweight began to drop
aud pork followed
Wheat, which sold year ago at SI12
& hushel. is below 90 cents.
Corn, which sold at 70 ceuts, is now
10 cents.
Poultry Is Cheaper.
The same percentage Of declines ap-
plies to poultry Chickens and turkeys
are 25 per cent cheaper than a year
ago.
Bacon is standing like stone wall 1t
is selling retail Mt 80 cents a pound,
right at the top. This is explained by
the packers in the statement that very
few bacon hogs arc coming into mar
ket. The bacon hog must be lean and
the run of hogs now is away above the
average weight. Jt is only a question
of time until bacon must come down.
1t has advanced from the normal price
of IA cents to the present high point.
Flour isi a dollar a barrel under the
price in January and is scheduled for a
big drop. Although the country has
raised u normal wheat crop, there is no
export demand. Other wheat raising
countries raised bumper crops and are
underspllnp the United States in all
consuming countries.
Wheat for Export.
This country has 200,000,000 bushels
for export 1t is not going out aud is
q tremendous weight on the market.
Wheat has declined 90 cents aud corn 10
cents since July |.
The explanation Of the onrusb of food
supplies is given thus: Three years ago
prices for hogs and cattle were so low
that farmers gave up stock raising.
Then came food scarcity with record
high prices. This caused the farmer to
about face and for eighteen months lie
has been raising cattle and hogs as he
never did before
While the wholesale prices are decliD
ing. retailers are stubbornly resisting
the idea of lower prices. Here in Chi
cago it is not forgotten that the na-
tional organization of butchers made
study of conditions and proved that the
local retail grocers and butchers made
40 per cent profit on their sales. This
was last spring.
Butter and eggs are two trust.con-
trolled articles that refuse to come
down. Butter was Jared down several
cents by the government suit against
the Elgin butter board, but it has been
climbing back

Joined the police.
it was in the early stages of the fight
that the daughter of Cerdan shot down
the chief of police, and from that time
until the surrender probably two thou
sand shots were fred by both sides.
The fight lasted for three hours, and
during that time constant fire from
the besieacd and bcsicgerS was kept up.
Many of the soldiers went to the tops
of adjoining buildings. some to church
towers, and from these places of van
tage poured a steady stream of bullets
into the home of Cerdan.
Troops Capture Rebels.
From within the dwelling the revolu-
tionists returned The shots. Those who
fell under the fire of the besioged lay
in the street until the fray ended, which
was only after the rebels had exhaust
ed their ammunition.
Upon a sackening Of fire from within
the house the troops rushed it and cap
tured some forty survivors. Not pane

of The house, the doors were riddled and
hundreds of bullets were embedded in
the walls, while dead and wounded lay

dent everywhere.
W. II. Brown, the papa" of Flasher
and Mott, saw that country with a
prophetic eye and 1t has more than
realized his widest ambitions.
Mott entertained in royal style with
two days celebration. The greatest
crowds were present Saturday, when
at least 5,000svisitors participated All
kinds of amusement and sports were
provided, A carnival company was
present with an excellent line of
vaudeville attractions. There were bar
becues each day, band concerts, trap
shooting, baseball, balloon ascensions,
horse races, fireworks and dances in
the evening and oeltory galore in
which many addresses were happily
delivered.
1t was a great time for Mott. The
jubilee was most successfully planned
and carried out. The weather was
ideal and good nature prevailed every
where. One noteworthy feature was
the entire absence of drunkenness and |
brawls
In addition to the enterprise of the |
people of Mott and the cleverness of |
the N. P. people, the commercial bod |
les of Bismarck and Mandan sent !
along bunch of live ones. They had |

worth consideration. Secretary Rip

These gentlemen overlooked nothing
that would add to the comfort of the
nartv on the train. The commercial
bodies Of the twin cities, Duluth
cargo jamestown Bismarck, Mandan
and other cities were represented and
about seventy five were guests of the
road on both the sleepers and the diner
for the entire trip.
The Northern Pacific has constructed
splendid line to Mott. No expense
has been spared and 1t is evident it
will eventually be the main line. The
route to Mott from Mandan is rather
circuitous, partially because of the ma
ture of the country through which it
runs and also evidently for the purpose
of going south along the west bank of
the Missouri TO a point where the line
from Fargo via Edgeley will cross the
river some time and connect with the
new road on the Standing Rock reser-
vation
The country, after leaving the Mis-
souri,, is rather rough until Carson is
reached and is ideal from that point
to Mott. But back from the line all the
way from Mandan is a magnificent
farming country.
The first points of interest along the
routes were Fort Rice and Flasher, at
each Of which stops were made. In
the latter place there was a warm well
come extended the visitors. There was
a parade up town and several pictures
were taken from the new hotel
After passing Lark there was some
diversion when a spark from one of |
the engines set fire TO the prairie. The |
train was stopped and the passengers |
piled off with brooms, mops, blankets, |
rugs, rubber mats and everything they !
could secure.
Mrs. Irwin B. COMFY, a hOmesteader,
rendered valuable assistance by noti-
flying gang of 200 Italian Iaborers
around a hill short distance away
and then bringing a lot of wet gunny
sacks and other articles with which to
fight the fire. She wore a red waist
