February. The decline was 25 to 40 cents,
making a net loss of SIPS in the past
seven days. Chicago with receipts of 3d.
co., was 20 to so cents lower, and demand
for light weight butcher hogs on all eastern
markets is decreasing. Indications are that
light and heavy hogs will sell at narrower
price spread in the next few weeks. To-
days top price was $3.50 and LUX of sales
$500 to $50. Pigs sold at $500 to $40.
SHEEP AND LANES.
Trade in the sheep division was fairly
active with lambs quoted stronger and
sheep steady. Lambs sold mostly at $50
to S925 and ewes $3.50 to 5000. Yearlings
and wethers were scarce.
HORSES AND MULES.
With receipts of horses and mules about
the same as on preceding Mondays, prices
were unchanged. There was fairly good
demand for the better classes, and common
kinds were slow sale.

Costa Rica Makes No Move to
Counter Panama Blow.
Republic Is Massing Troops
Along Disputed Frontier.

San Jose, Costa Riea, April ~
Troops of the republic of Panama are
being concentrated in the Coto and
Almirante districts along the Costa
Rican frontier, and are being closely
watched by military leaders in this
country. rN
Military preparations for the pur-
pose of countering any blow struck
by Panama are not being made as the
government and people of Costa Rica
are confident the U. S. will follow
out the program laid down by Secre-
tary Hughes in his note to Costa Rlca-
and Panama. 1t is stated the Costa
Rican government is holding the
Panama steamer, Belen Quisada, as
a result of Panama's refusal to return
several launches captured near Coto
at the time when war seemed 1nml-
nent a few weeks ago.
Despite the warlike preparations
of Panama" said Julio Acosta. presi-
dent of Costa Rica, in discussing the
situation yesterday, 1.-The Costa Rica
government is awaiting the outcome
of the frontier controversy TRANQUILITY.
Panama has not relaxed her military
activities since her official rejection of
the frontier decision handed down by
Chief Justice White of the United
States supreme court, but this country
is not making any special military
preparations, confidently expecting a
solution safeguarding Costa Rica ter
ritorial rights as a result of the ener-
getic attitude assumed by the United
States"
