was one of the most promising gold
propositions in the state up to the

HOGS-A few 59l0c higher bids were
made at the opening OF the hog market
this morning, but they were quickly with
drawn and not very much business was
done on this basis. Offers in both divisions
dropped to figures no better than a nickel
higher than yesterday and bulk OF sales
exp srienced this advance. Movement was
at no time active, however. and, despite a
very limited supply, It was well along to-
ward midday before anything like a clear
ance had been effected. Shippers and or
der buyers were still out Of the trade,
practically all OF the hogs purchased going
to local packers. Toward the extreme
close two or three OF the heavier buyers
quit and the best bids obtainable late were
hardly better than those In force yester-
day, with demand decidedly weak
A considerable portion OF supply went at
s. S950905 as compared with yesterday e
bulk OF $ss079oO Tops were also a nickel
higher reaching s9. is.
Receipts for the five days this week
show a large decrease as compared with
either last weeks run or the supply for
the same day last year. Every other con-
dillon was very discouraging At the open
ing however, and prices suffered the larg-
est single drop In many months. Some im-
provement has been scored during the mast
two days and current Valttes ere little
worse than big boc lower than last weeks

eATTLE-There was the usual very mod
crate Fridays run OF cattle here today,
only fifty-four cars being reported in. The
demand was good for beef steers and
prices We're well sustained for anything
desirable in this line, in fact, some OF the
light and medium weight cattle sold q
shade stronger than on yesterday and the
market was lively from start to finish, an
early clearance being made. AS compared
with a week ago, closing prices this week
are in the neighborhood OF l5925c lower,
the decline being the heaviest on the big
cattle.
Offerings Of COWS and heifers were com
paratively limited today and, as has been
the case all week, prices were auotably
steady for all useful offerings. There was
good demand from both the local pack
era and outside butchers and the good
hetfers were in some cases a shade
stronger than yesterday while medium
and common stuff was inclined to be slow.
On the whole, however, prices were sub
stantiafly the same as they were toward
the close OF last week Veal calves ruled
steady and bulls, stays, etc, were steady
to strong.
There was not much doing in stockers
and feeders, as both supply and demand
was limited but good light and medium
weight cattle sold readily at strong fig
ures, prices comparing very favorably with
the close OF last week On the other hand
the heavy grades were more OF less neg
lected and the trade was slow on anything
OF this kind. Indications are favorable
for very good clearance for the week

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Late Demand to Cover Shorts COnse-
quenCs Of Gloomy Start
WORRY OVER COTTON MARKET
Anxiety Expressed Because of Ex-
tended Speculative Position and
Precarious Situation Open
to Spectators.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Speculative oper-
ators In stocks started the day IN 80 gloomy
frame Of mind over the commercial and
financial prospects that some excess was to
be hooked for in the steps that they would
take to express that view, the late demand
10 cover shorts being the consequence. The
sentiment was due to the cumulative ef-
fects of various factors which have been
at work for several days and 20 which
was added the news over night that a
reorganization was necessary Of the old and
prominent Tefft- Weller Dry Goods com
pany.
The strong influence on speculative senu-
nent was due to the watchful spirit which
has been aroused by the admitted diff
cuties growing out OF the high prices OF
cotton, which was explicitly assigned as
principal cause Of the embarrassment.
The cotton market is the object OF
anxious attention owing to the extended
speculative position known to be held In
that market and the precarious situation
for speculators, which may result from a
preclpitate fan IN prices or from the In
the affairs Of the market pool In cotton.
Liquidation In United States steel shares
and lack OF effective support for them In
the market made up an effective factor In
forming the impression OF reaction in the
stock market Unsatisfactory views OF ths
copper trade position enhanced IT,
1t Is noted that discussion Of probable
new capita capital issues which concerned
Itself exclusively with the possibility Of
enlisting new capital a short time ago now
considers chances for retrenchment Of
needed outlay for new facilities. The Wal
street stock operator Is keeping one eye or
the London money market and was oh
