Chicago, March 24--Packers holding
off today forced decline in the price
Of hogs.
Eleven markets received SS400 hogs
Tuesday or 22,200 less than last Tues
/ day. 20,40O more than a year ago and
24,40O more than two years ago. Total
thus far this week $4,000 or $4,000 less
than same period last week, $1,000 more
than like time last year and 41OO0 more
than corresponding two days two years
ago Total for 1915 to date, 100000, or
1,449,OOO more than same period 1914
and 1,375,00O more than corresponding
time 1913.
Cattle.
Improved general demand for beef
put strength into the cattle market.
Quality is running lower. both from
free area and exposed areas of the
middle west, and the inference is that
the bulk of the longfed choice steers
are now out of feeders hands. Much of
the lighter stuff doubtless will be held
| for grazing from now on, and the trade
is looking for generally small supplies.
Holy week and two Jewish holidays
next week. will. of course. have effect
in checking beef demand. but following
the close of the lenten season there is
expected to be some little Improvement
in general call for beef, the short de-
mand for which in the past few weeks
has played havoc with cattle prices.
The run at $500 today made 1890
for two days this week. against 1903
a week ago and 1850 a year ago.
while the two-day shipments total
practically three times the volume
which went out a week ago, giving in
dication of a reawakening of shipping
demand, which if it continues, should
prove good stimulus to the price sit
uation here
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were not in good
demand.
Lamb and mutton Is remarkably high
compared with pork and beef, and for
that reason the consumptive demand
has suffered bad slump after enjoy
ing a few weeks of activity. Packers
insist that they must cheaper up or
stand to lose money at present first
cost However. holdings are in strong
hands and traders anticipate let-up
in receipts the balance of the week.
City butchers and shippers were less
urgent buyers than yesterday, so that
packers were in better control of the
situation.

To the Property Owners of Seward:

There is a steady and increasing demand for property in Seward, and for improved property in particular. Customers are making inquiries of us daily ,and the supply of cabins avail able for rent is at present extremely limited. Any kind of a cabin or build ing in Seward is now rentable. Eevery steamer is bringing new arrivals to Seward and it is necessary for them all to have a place to live when they arrive here.
 We want to ask every property holder in Seward to assist us in look ing after the wants of the new corners and to that end, ask that they furnish us with list of their property, that they wish to rent and we will do all that we can to lease or rent it for you.
 It does not make any difference whether it is a residence or business property, we have numerous demands for bith, and will be able to place either for you in a short time.
 It is up to the citizens of Seward to look after the comfort of the new corners and as an act of hospitality alone it is up to you to list your prop erty if you care to rent it.
 We now have a few choice bargains in real estate, and if you are in the market for anything in that line, we would be pleased to go over the list with you, and possibly we may find just what you want
 Strangers are cordially invited to call at our office and make their wants known.

NEWS NOTES

Mrs. Pierce and Mater Ea Fierce of Seattle have come to make their home here.
 The largest family to come to Se- ward in recent times to settle is com posed of Mir. and Mrs. Allenbaugh and five fine children, two of whom are twins. They live near the episcopal ian church.
 The house of Joe Hoffman and Pal mer Way took fire last night about lO:3O o'clock and the town was rous- ed while the new corners were treat ed to a little scare. Mel Horner, chief of the fire department, got to the scene 70 quickly that he put the blaze out with hand chemical. The cause of the fire is not known. Mir. Way had been in there at dinner time but not when the fire occurred. He lost his bed and bedding. Mir. Hoffman says that Mir. Horner deserves great credit for his fine work.
 Professor Musso who has invented means for telephoning over cables may soon come to Seward according to Father Shepherd who went away yesterday. The cause of the failure to telephone plainly between Seward and Valdez is due to the fact that the insulation on the cable between these two points is partly gone and for telephoning perfect insulation on the cable is necessary.
 A letter received from the British islands yesterday shows that the Gate way has had the questionable honor of having been censored before it was let pass to the addressee. The same letter indicates that the censorship of American papers going over there is very strict.
 AS an indication of the manner in which the population of Seward is in- creasing in recent days it may be mentioned that the number of pupils in the primary school here now is thirty-two as against twenty-four at the time the new school house was oc- cupied. This is the largest number of pupils enrolled in the primary grade in the history of Seward accord ing to Curtis Morford of the school board. The new children who make up the twenty-five per cent increase are late arrivals in the town.
 A. Ames, chief clerk of the rail way mail service, came last night on the Mariposa and returned on her to Valdez.
 Schmesar is now preparing Cor the summer mining work on Mills creek.
 Major A. E. Ransom of the North ern Light Insurance Company arrived in Seward last evening on the Mari posa.
 Joe E. Johnson, county assessor and business man of Wenatchee, arrived on the Mariposa last evening. One remark he makes is well worth quot ing: People in Alaska should not inve. their money outside. This ter ritory now presents better opportun- ities than any other for the invest ment of capital" Mir. Johnson also declares that the railroad has adver- tised Ala .ka more than all the private investments in the world could adver- t;se if

Shortage Turned to Excess.

''On the very next day the shortage
Of reserve was turned into an excess,
both of the banks cash reserve and of
the amount of reserve with approved
reserve aeants.
"Williams says that the bank was con-
tnuousiy short in its reserve and that
it was the duty of the controller when
such shortages We're not made good
within thirty days, to appoint re-
ceiVer and wind up the banks affairs.
But he fails to state that never once
was the Riggs Bank short in its re-
serve thirty days or anything like that
period, and to add that could he ever
have caught it so. he would have at
tempted to appoint receiver and
wind up the banks aairs.
The banks statement charges that Sec
retary McAdoo has attempted to give the
case political aspect by insinuating that
the Riggs Bank is only branch Of the
National City Bank of New York. The
statement denies the insinuation alb
solutely.
The bank declares that after a search
covering nineteen years of the banks his
tory Controller Williams has failed to
find single dummy loan i'll the common
sense of the term.
Vigorous denial is made in the bank
statement of the CnaIse made by Con-
troller Williams that the bank has per-
sistently conducted the brokerage and real
estate loan business under guise or
another, and falsified or delayed or jug
eled its reports to conceal its Illegal
