Lost rrousers playing Poker.

William Verne appeared in a Detroit
police coudt attired in a dress coat
and some underwear-he had bet the
trousers in a poker game the evening
before and lost. His cash, his watch
and his diamonds preceded the trou-
sers into the bank" The trousers
were Of good quality, SO William bet
several blue chips on them. But his
luck didn't turn and when he was
cleaned out again he broke up the
game by quitting. He begged the loan
OF the trousers to go home in, but
the bank took no risks and declined
So William started in dress coat and
underwear and was arrested.

Jefferson City.-John E. Swanger,
state bank commissioner, issued a
warning to people of Missouri to
shun the purchase of stock of any
proposed banking institution unless
they know the person offering to sell
such stock. He says during his adj
ministration several banks have been
organized by professional promoters
for the profits of the organization and
all have failed. These men, he says,
are interested only to reap the benefit
of stock sales.

sHEEP-Business in sheep and lambs
was featured by a packing demand based
on Friday orders" none OF the regular
buyers SEEMING very anxious for receipts
This attitude was justified by heavy ac-
cumulations of product In chill rooms as
well as a natural unwillingness TO load
up with live stock at the weekend and
the market was a dull, draggy affair
from the start. In general way, prices
held up about steady but the tendency
sales were made that looked to be about
a dime lower.
Receipts had plenty Of size for the last
active market day Of the week. but
trains were generally late In their sched-
ules and much Of the stuff did not show
up until well along toward midday. Moth
ing very tOppy was included In early
offerings but strictly prime lambs were
in fair request at $3.50 while plain TO
poor varieties had to sell at liberal dis
most kinds Of fat lambs are closing Just
about steady.
Sheep offerings consisted largely OF fat
ewes, good ones selling up to $50 and
showing much better action than tat
lambs at well-sustained figures. There
were no wethers or yesrlings OF eonse-
quence on sale. Compared with week
ago, fat ewes are closing 10000 lower
while other classes Of matured muttons
remain nominal.
Feeder trade has experienced few
changes lately as the demand and supply
have both been very limited. The four
days buy, according TO packers tab,
amounts to about 500 head.

is a condition of immense strength. In
a situation which would permit the de-
velopment to the fullest extent Of this

ROAD statesmen were achieving irregular
success, results throughout cotton grow

OF the southwest offsetting comparatively

squirt is expected until weather condl-
tons become more settled, but consump-
tive demands are sufficiently heavy to
prevent stocks from accommodating. and in
lines that are relatively depressed. lum-

have been eurtailed to such an extent
that stocks cannot accumulate. Shoe
buyers are cautious, largely because
prices are expected to go higher; sup

steadier and the strike situation In New
England has improved.
