Chicago had even $4,000 cattle last
week. against 53,777 the previous week,
! and the run was fairly well distributed
after Monday, tho total that day stood
/ 27.115, and there Is belief among
! traders that this run is going to stand
| as largest for some weeks to come,
since a breaking up Of bad weather
and melting of heavy SHOWS will AFFORD
freer all-the-week shipping, and this
should cause fewer price fluctuations
at market than will be the case II the
Monday markets are overcrowded. A
year ago last week receipts were 51,543
and two years ago 1851 arrived.

Six trains and one helper were on the line, representing the largest amount of hauling, both in passenger and tonnage, since the line was estab- lished For the next few days there will be four special trains be- side the regular making daily trips to whitehoTse.
 Three thousand tons of ore are to be brought down for immediate shipment on the Latouche, then will follow fifteen hundred tons on the Jeanie and three thousand tons on the Cordova.
 The railroad company expects to operate the mines all wister and to be continuous shippers. Nothing but the severest kind of weather will prevent them from working a full force, which promises that the coming winter will be the busiest ever seen in Skagway since the old days of the rush.
 President Dickeson Is arranging to put in a special heating plant to keep the ore from freezing in the bunkers. The cars will be run into the round house and there subject ed to heat for thawing the ore and permitting it to readily discharge in case the severeity of the winter makes such procedure necessary. Business is looking brighter each day for the railroad.
