To-day's Markets

Chicago Union Stock Yards, Oct.
3D. ackers took another chunk of
hog prices to-day and bought the sup
ply slowly, even in the face of the
fact that fresh arrivals were full 5000
less than the estimates and the quail
ity about the same as yesterday.
There were few choice hogs in the
entire receipts and none in lots. Du.
ring the early hours while eastern
buyers We're making their selections
the prices were only five cents below
yesterdays average, but as soon as
they We're supplied the packers knock
ed another dime Off and purchased
in an Indifferent and hap hazard fash
ion apparently not caring whether
they got hogs or not. Spectators
have steered clear of the market all
week. Prospects for any betterment
in prices during remainder of week
are not bright. They are more liable
to go still farther down the toboggan.
The bulk of the hogs sold early at
| se.10G6.35 later at $6.10m6.25 as
against $6.25M6.55 yesterday; $4,000
e.65 last Wednesday; S6.25@6.6j four
weeks ago: $S.O0@S.65 corresponding
Wednesday in 1910; $7.60d7.S5 in
1909 and s5.60D5.90 in 1908. The top
price to-day was only $6.45 as against
$500 yesterday; $3.50 last Wednes.
day; day; S8.75 a month ago; S9.o5 a
year ago; $685. two years ago and
sale three years ago.
Nearly all the cattle to-day were
of the Western, ranch kind with few
natives and nothing choice in the lat
ter. Prices however for the natives
were steady with yesterday but all
others We're 10 cents off and a drag
on the market.
Sheep and lambs were inclined to
| slump some to-day. Country feeders
were not as eager as early in the
week. Prices however held fairly
steady on all desirable lots.
The estimated receipts for tomor
row are 10000 hogs, 1000 cattle and
$4,000 sheep.

OLD ARTESIAN WELL
Expensive Investment Still in Good
State of Preservation.

While eXcavating for the foundation
of the new band stand in the park the
mouth Of the old artesian we'll was UNI
covered Tuesday. The six-inch cas-.
ing is in a splendid state of preserva.
ton and the old wooden plug was rot
ted some, but was still effective. The
we'll goes down over 2700 feet and
the water stands within about 80 feet
of the surface. There is an ineXhaus-
tible supply of water, but it is so
charged with minerals that it is I'M
fit for general use. Under a sugges.
ton made by Major Lacey, Mayor
Reynolds will have the we'll sealed
with a copper cap and an appropriate
Inscription put thereon. Major Lacey
says the water is almost identical
with the famous Blue Lick waters Of
Kentucky and that some day some
enterprising citizen will pipe and
pump the water to a sanitarium and
Oskaloosa will become famous as a
health resort.
The we'll was started about 1873,
and was pushed along for three years
when a depth of $500 feet had been
reached at a cost of $4,000 The ar
tesian strata had not been found and
the we'll was abandoned for year or
more. 1t was again taken up about
1880, and at a depth of 2,750 feet a
good flow of water was secured.
Pumps were attached and kept run
ming steadily for several days and
nights, but no impression could be
made on the level of the water in the
well. Unfortunately the water was
unfit for use and Oskaloosa had to
look to Skunk river, four miles away
for her water supply. The bonds
issued at the time, and the interest
on them have cost the people of o.
kalcosa nearly 100000.
Good Foundation.
Careful work is being done on the
foundation and footing for the new
band stand. even better than called
for in the plans and specifications.
The foundation, as specified, did not
penetrate the black dirt or made
ground. IL will be recalled that the
park was filed and graded about the
time the former stand was erected
and the old tile walk was laid. The
center of the park was raised be-
! tween four and five feet higher than
tho street grade on its sides. Foot
ings thirty inches wide have been
filled in up to the foundations as
mentioned in the plans. which will be
carried out from this point. All wa
ter connections are being made with
lead pipe and viii be indestructible.
Work on the footings was started
Tuesday and win be pushed along

Grains Make a Break.

Chicago, Oct. 25.--Local sentiment
in wheat yesterday was bearish, and
there was further liquidation by hold
ers of high priced wheat. Weak ca
bles also helped create a bearish
one which was not counteracted en-
tirely by reports of $4,000 blu. cash
wheat being sold Closing prices
were 1SM$sc lower. Short coverings
of corn induced by the predictions
for more unsettled weather, gave this
market a late rally, prices being "a
Nc higher at the finish. Oats were
raher featureless, closing unchanged
to asc up. The feature was the buy
ing of May by commission houses.
