Chicago. May s.-The hog market
! fiattened today after the scalpers fin
iShed. The regulars refused to follow
the advance and would hardly pay
steady prices at the close.
Combined receipts of hogs at eleven
markets Monday totaled S9,2oo, or &c.
800 less than week ago $500 more
than a year ago and $500 less than
corresponding Monday two years ago.
Chicago had $1,000 less than a week
aso and 5000 more than year ago.
Kansas City received 1000 more than a
year ago. Omaha had 1900 more than
a week ago. St Louis had 1000 less
than week ago. ST. Joseph had 1000
less than week ago. Total for 1911
to date. s $4,000. or 100000 more than
same time in 1910 and $4,000 less than
corresponding period in 1909.
Cattle.
Cattle trade was about steady. with
a few choice. lots selling about 5000
and one choice lot at $685.
General market basis, Monday, was
10G IL cents higher than last Monday,
and altho this is quite moderate ad-
vance On top of low prices ruling re-
Gently, 1t is taken by many in the trade
to mean a probable steadying of the
general situation from now on in event
that the country again markets stuff
coEservatively later this week. The i'm
preston prevails, too. that the market
is not going TO get any very big run
this week since the corn planters are
too busy in most cases to ship many
cattle, altho a sharp price gain would
doubtless effect another general liquid
ating spell, since it is a fact well es-
tablished that the country has a lot of
good beeves ready for market and is
only awaiting possible better action in
the beef demand.
Situation in beef circles is reported
as not especially improved as far as
consumptive outlet is concerned, but
there is freer demand from the pack
ers for reason that cattle are being had
we'll worth the money and the sus-
picion prevails that both killers and
shippers are not in mood to check
movement from the country by at
tempting further price-pounding tao
tics.
A continuous procession OF cows to
be retained for breeding purposes Is
going country-ward. Breeders are will
ing to pay s4.25@4.50 to get what they
want. but are taking a grade at 1878
@41O that are not bovine beauties by
any means. The fact that they are
taken indicates a determination to get
back into the breeding game Trade in
COW and heifer stuff is also featured by
an active demand for feeding stuff
which is taking care Of a lot of cheap
cattle recently crowding the Gamer
and cutter market. Cows are being
bought for that purpose from $500
AS. and heifers from $500 to $3.50.
Feeders want something to take care
of their grass and finding stock steers
scarce and held at prohibitive prices.
are going to fem ale cattle. OF course
dairy-bred stuff is not eligible to this
outlet.

POLO BALL PARK
 SWEPT BY FIRE

New York, April 14.-Ten thousand per- sons stood on Coogan's Bluff early this morning and saw the National League Baseball park swept by roaring fire, which reduced three sides of it, includ- ing the grandstand and most of the bleachers to ashes ip less than three quarters of an hour Originating from some unknown cause, the blaze spread with almost incredible swiftness, licking up first the double-decl1ed grandstands and spreading then to the beachers at the south and north.
 At o'clock this morning only the bleachers at the east end were standing. Because of the depression in which the grounds are situated under a bluff and at the terminus of the elevated railway, the fire was exceedingly hard to reach and had an almost uninterrupted sweep before flremen could get adequate streams of water into play. Five hun dred empty cars of the elevated railroad were standing on tracks adjoining the park and many of them caught fire.
 With the grandstands were destroyed the new club house and the dressing rooms for visiting teams, entailing in all a loss estimated at about $75,000. The grandstand itself was a crescent in shale and had been enlarged in the last two years so that it covered half the cis- conference of the grounds and seated about 2OOO0 persons. It is believed that with the destruction of the club house there were lost all the uniforms and paraphernalia of the New New Nationals and of the Philadelphia Nationals, now playing a series here. The park has been occupied by the New York National League club for 21 years and is known the world over as the Polo grounds.

FIERCE MEXICAN
 BATTLE RAGING
tcoNTINUED FROM PAGE ID

>~-~------0-~~-->--~~-~~- rebel force of the southwest fired into northeast Douglas, where the Mexicans live. Cries of Viva Madero" were stopped by the Americans, as it was feared the federals might fire on the American custom house.
 Twenty minutes after the battle began a squad of rebels took their station at the American customs house and fired from distance of 10 feet from the sight seers.
 The rebel commander says 500 rein forcements are coming tonight.
 Agua Prieta surrendered to the rebels after one of the most spectacular bat ties of the Mexican insurrection. There are many dead and wounded, includ . ing one American, E. " Crow, who was struck by stray bullet in Doug las. Two others were killed and many were wounded in Douglas.
 This Is the first time during the in- surrection that any person has been killed on the American side as the re- suit of the border fighting. The dead and wounded of both the rebels and federals are being taken to Douglas.
 Thirty federals fled to the American side an hour before the battle ended and were disarmed by the American troops The rebels shot down many federals as they ran.
 Wounded federal prisoners were es- corted from Agua Prieta to the border where they were released as fugitives on American soil.
 Lopez's band numbered not more thar ,50, while the federals' defenders num- bered 65. It was stated tonight that the rebels will try to hold Agua Prieta in the hope of winning recognition as belligerents by the United States.
 Agua Prieta is a port of entry.
