ONE OF STRENGTH
SOUTH ST. PAUL HAS A GOOD
WEEK WITH FIRM PRICES.
Hogs Begin to Look a Little Top
Heavy, and Larger Receipts Would
Probably Mean Some Price Reces-
sionGood Trade in Sheep, with
Feeder Buyers on Hand All Week,
Willing to Pay Full Current Prices
for Desirable Lots.
South St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 17Receipts of
cattle here this week total about 9,6.-0, com
parer with 9.279 last week and 10,583 the corre
sponding week last yeai. This week's calf re
ceipts were about 750, against 630 last week
and 013 the sam- week tost year.
Trade opened Monday with a fairly liberal
sxipplv of native and range cattle on the mar
ket and prices held in a fully steady notch thai
day. Tuesday and Wednesday there was a slight
ly easier tone to the trade, In sympathy with
lower markets east The demand since has
been strong, and with light receipts the week
closes with all beef and butcher grades selling
in about the same notch as at last week's wind
up. The quality of the arrivals has been poor.
Most of the pretty good western beeves have sold
around $3 65 to $3 75, and choice kinds should
bilng up to $4 25. Most of the good butcher
cows are selling around $3 and canners largely
from $1.50 to $2. The bull maiket has been
generallv stead} and veal calves -lose the week
in the fume uotch as at last week's closing. In
dications are for an increased marketing next
week, and it is believed that present prices can
hardly be maintained. The opinion is general
that this week's receipts of range cattle will
prove the lightest until near the close of the
season. The demand for feeding steers has
been good all week, and steady pi Ices have ruled.
An Illinois fe der paid up to $3 65 for some de
sirable 1 100-lb western feeders. Good stock cat
tle have been lu fair request at last week's
prices, but all light stuff on the common to me
dium order has dragged at a decline of about 10c
to 15c from a week ago. Stock heifers held
bteady with the bulk selling from $1 50 to $2.
HOGS.
There has not been a break In the local hog
market since Sept. 1. Prices now stand 35c to
40c higher than at the first market day of the
month, and 20c to 25c higher than a week ago to
day. Average prices are on the highest level
since Oct. 10 Inst. The market begins to look
top hea\y and the present provision market and
low cattle values would indicate that hog prices
must soon come down altho It is not believed
that receipts will be large enough to permit of
much decline pi lor to Oct 1 The bulk of the
hog-* here Friday sold from $5 55 to $3 60, and
prlcei ranged fiom $5 50 to $3 75. The week's
receipts of hogs tot.il about 7,300 against 6,205
last week and 6,847 the like week last year.
SHEEP.
Thlr week sheep leceipts wero about 16,700,
compared with 16,663 last week and 14,281 the
corresponding week last ea The market has
hud a stiontf tone all week on useful killing
grades of both sheep and lambs, and closing
pi Ices show fctteugth over a week ago. Most of
the good fat native owes aie selling aronn'l
$.5 25. Fair western ewes have sold ut $3 and a
pictty good class it $3.10. No fat western weth
ers have been received to test prices, but they
are quotalle from $3 4f to $3 65, with choice
export grades higher. Feeder mivers were numer
ous all week, and Inst week's prices prevailed for
the better grades. A band of 04 lb western woth
tis went to the countiy at a cost of $3 35. Good
to choice fat lambs are selling from $5 to $3 25,
fair kinds from $4 35 to $4 65 and good stock
and feeding 1 irobs from $3 75 to $4. A fancy
class of black-faced stock lambs sold during
the week at $4 35, thin buck lambs being thrown
out ana selling around $2.75.

and low-er, conditions became worseh ansd thned weekn
advanced and values were generally considered
25c lower than Monday on everything except the
choice feeders, which possibly would have sold
steady with Monday had they been on sale late
ln the week. As high as $3.70 was paid for the
6trictly good feeder?, but the bulk of the fair to
good steers sold at ?3.25@3.55, with the common
to fair steers at $2.50@3.20. Yearlings were in
limited supply, selling largely at $2.50@3, with
the best strong weight yearllty?s as high as $3.35.
Stock heifers were also ln limited supply, but tho
demand waB able to take care of the light mar
keting with sales at $1.50@2.40. Few outside
buyers were in the trade this week and the deal
ers find themselves with a large number of cat
tle in their pens to feed over Sunday, and the
prospects are not bright for a brisk market the
coming week, especially if receipts should be at
all liberal.
The market on killers has been very satis
factory. .Butcher stock comprised the big share
of the week's marketing and the packers and
shipping order buyers were eager for the avail
able offerings. The market last Monday ad
vanced 10 to 15 cents over last week's closing
quotations, and values have been well maintained
since that time. The best of the cows nnd
heifers since that time sold at $2.75 to $3.15,
while the fair to good butcher stock, compris
ing the larger share of the supply sold at
$2.25 to $2.65. Canners and cutters ranged
fioui $1 to $2. Very little steer stuff was on
sale and the offerings were entirely of range
and native grass cattle. The rangers sold at
$2. So to $3.40, and native grass steers changed
hands at $3.50 to $3.75.
HogsThe marketing of hogs at this point
has been light, receipts running close to 13,000,
or 500 less than last week. The market has
shown a gradual tendency upward, altho pack
ers have been bearish. A good shipping demand
at this point has forced values up to a great
extent, and taking the heavy weights of the
hogs arriving, prices compare favorably with
any other market in the country. With hogs
selling from $5.45 to $5.65, the market closes
the week fully 15 cents higher than the close
of last. Weights each day have been the heav
iest of the season and the week's average is 264
pounds, which was live pounds heavier than the
previous week. More hogs are needed at this
point, especially good light and butcher weights.

COUNTRY HIDES
Early last week the market seemed to give
way to the pressure on the part of tarmnera
for lower prices, but this weakness was only
temporary, as. at the close dealers were very
firm at outside quotations, and, in fact, wero
not urgent sellers at the asking prices. Condi
tions thruout the west are somewhat abnormal
on account of excessive competition between the
buyefs for the big upper-leather corporation and
local dealers. The struggle for the few hides
obtainable has led to prices being paid at the
outside points that are fully on a parity of those
prevailing here. The outcome of this struggle
for supremacy Is being watched with infjfy*.
The sharp advance on all descriptions of niues
at the Paris auctions has left an Influence on
values here that assists in stiffening the market,
and has already caused some inquiry from foreign
Sources, and at least one sample order. Holders
of calfskins are still indisposed to yield to tho
demand of tanners for lower prices.
No. 1 steers, free of brands and grubs, 60 lbs
and up, are steady ac 10%c for seasonable hides.
During the past week the market was cleaned
up on long-haired hides and mixed lots on the
basis of lO^c
No. 1 cows, free of brands and grubs, 60 lbs
and up, aie very scarce. There are orders here
for prompt delivery at 10}ic No. 2, 94c which
connot be filled, altho it was reported that two
f-mall cars were secured at 10c and 9c, but it
is generally supposed they contained mixed hair,
at least dealers are now very firm at the former
prices with nothing to offer. A sample order
was filled for esjort
Branded steers and cows continue scarce, but
the market is steady at 8%c flat for country col
lections. Western packer stock is firm at 10c
for steers and 9c for cows.
No. 1 buffs, free of brands and grubs, 40 to
0)J lbs. are in a peculiar position. Tanners are
l?eely bidding 10c No. 2, 9c, and a prominent
buyer reported having obtained about four cars
of mixed hair hides last week at above prices.
At all events these transactions cannot be dupli
cated, in fact, 914c Is bid and lefused for No. 2
hides, while nothing less than 10*4@9%c would
be considered ln a regular way, and offerings are
limited on that basis. We are informed that
hides have sold in Minneapolis at 10c and 9c
there and that the same figures have b^en ob
tained at Iowa points. The strength of the mar
ket seemiugl} lies in the scarcity of available
stock, as tonners prefer to work in sparingly
rather than pay prevailing rates.
No. 1 extremes, 25 to 40 lbs, sold to an ex
tent of two cars of western hides at 1014c No.
2, 9&c, but Ohio hides are worth lO&c to
10%e.
Bulls are slightly easier on account, of lack of
buyers. A large nearby tanning concern is re
ported to have obtained a little over two cars ln
all at 8tyc and 7%c.
No. 1 kips, 15 to 25 lbs, are scarce and wanted,
but prices vary with quality. Mixed westerns
probably would not bring over 11% c, but better
stock commands buyers at ll%c, whUe straight
veals have sold at 12c.
No. 1 calfskins, 8 to 15 lbs, are again firmer
on account of the advance in foreign stock. Deal
ers in city skins are holding at lie, and we un
derstand outside points are asking 13% 14c,
while tanners are endeavoring to buy at 13 %c,
but so far have been unable to make the de
sired impression on the market. One car of
Chicago city skins was sold at a supposed price
of 13%c. Country skins have sold at 13%@
17.5il3%c. Deacons continue to sell .-eadily at 70c

Specials to The Journal.
Fort Dodge, Iowa, Sept. 17.The pajtf
twenty-four hours have done much to
brighten the prospects and strengthen
the hopes for a full crop of corn in this
section of the state. Escaping without
injury the recent cool weather, the crop
now stands a splendid chance of matur
ing. There is a general feeling of se
curity among farmers and Business
men.
Wesley, Iowa, Sept. 17.There hag
been only the slightest kind of a frost
here and' none whatever to damage corn
thruout the northern port of Iowa.
Albert Lea, Minn., Sept. 17.Frost
has done slight damage to corn, but the
indications are that the crop will be
as good or better than a year ago.
Threshing is in progress and the yield
continues to be large. Wheat, oats and
barley are better than for many years.
FARMERS ASTONISHED
W. B. Callaway Found Them Happily
Surprised in North Dakota.
W. R. Callaway, general Passenger
agent of the Soo. line, returned this
morning from a trip out along the line .t
North Dakota. He says that thresh
ing is in full swing and that much to
the astonishment of the farmers the
vields are running from two to four
bushels more an acre than had been
expected, while the quality averages
one grade better.
This is good news for all concerned.
The promise of business over the Soo
line is such that he fears its equip
ment may not prove equal to the de
mand.
Grafton Yields and Grades.
Spools! to The Journal.
Grafton, N. D., Sept. 17.Threshing
has become general here and new wheat
is arriving daily. The great bulk of
the grain is graded No. 2 northern, there
bein very little No. 1 northern and
absolutely no No. 1 hard. A bushel
varies in weight from forty-eight to
fifty-six pounds, and the yield runs all
the way from five to fourteen bushels
to the'acre, the average being about
ten.
Average Around Tracy.
Special to Tho Journal.
Tracy, Minn., Sept. 17.The average
yield of wheat in this vicinity is ten
to fifteen bushels an acre. A few pieces
yield twenty bushels. Oats and barlev
are good. No frost has appeared as yet

TENDENCY FOR BETTER
BBADSTREET'S NOTES GENERAL BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT.
New York, Sept. 17.Bradstreet's of today
While there are diverse movements ln do
mestic and foreign trade, the tendency as a
whole is for improvement along conservative
lines. Buovancy in the stock market, possibly
largely manipulated and the strength of cereal
prices are factors stimulating to trade, but the
advance of the fall season with cooler weather
in some sections and the prospect of good returns
to the agricultural interests, despite the heavy
shortage in the wheat yield are all elements
tending to encourage buying.
The feeling in many lines is that as the
season advances and the corn crop situation
becomes clearer the need of additional reorders
will result ln a fair volume of trade, com
paring better with fall business a year ago
than did last spring's trade with the correspond
ing period of 1003. Railway earnings reflect a
heavy traffic, roads already reporting indicating
gain of 3.4 per cent over last August and the
best ever recorded for that month.
The telegrams to Bradstreet's Indicate a fair
expansion in western trade, tho buying from the
corn-growing sections is still cautious. Trade
is brisker at nearly all Pacific coast points,
tho Sau Francisco wholesale trade fs rather
smaller than expected. Southern trade advices
are best from the section east of the Mississippi.
At the east jobbing trade in dry goods has
improved at Boston and some rush orders for
shoes are noted but slflpments, as a whole for
the year, are 8 per cent behind a year ago. De
mand for dry goods at New York is hardly up to
reasonable expectations as yet, tho a good' busi
ness fc doing. Higher prices for spring wheat
woolens are announced, based upon the strength
of the raw material which is firmly held with
fin upward tendency, the statistical position being
a strong cne.
lhe Iron and steel Industry likewise betrays
irregularity. There is a better tone in raw
materials generally, tho prices are not notaDly
changed. Resumptions of finishing mills and
furnaces are numerous but against tnis are to be
noted shut-downs of leading harvesting con
cerns and car-building interests. Reductions in
prices of finished steel have brought forth little
new business at the east, but plates and struc
tural material are reported selling better at the
west-

SPANKED WOULD-BE BRIDE
Father Objected to the Man
Girl Had Chosen.
Philadelphia Press.
Because he attempted to administer
an old-fashioned spanking to his 22-
year-old daughter, who made a con
tract to marry the an of her choice
without her father's consent, Alec
Varcilucci of 730 South Schell street,
finds himself bound over for trial on
the charge of assault and battery.
The father, in former days, was ac
customed to chastise his daughter,
Elizabeth, for soiling her dresses and
pilfering jam. When she became en
gaged to a youth of whom he did not
approve he attempted to take the same
course. Spurning the paternal slip
per, the young woman, in the offended
dignity of her 22 years, had her father
arrested. Magistrate Smith decided
that the father should have used per
suasion instead of force to break the
engagement, and held him under $500
bail for court.

FOR BEATING A WOMAN 3
St. Paul Man. Arrested .for .Brutality
and Robbery.
A man describing himself as Harry
Farrcl of St. Paul, was arrested this
afternoon for brutally beating and rob
bing May White, an inmate of a house,
at 225 Second street S.
The man, according to the story told
by the woman when she had regained
consciousness, went to the house, where
he had visited several times, locked the
door, tore out the telephone so the po
lice could not be notified, beat the
woman into insensibility, and stole $80
from her. Then he jumped thru a win
dow and drove off in a ouggy. Patrol
man Nels Nelson made the arrest with
in a few minutes.
HIS
DINING ON THE CURB LINE
New York Bohemian Restaurant Apes
he Boulevards.
New York Press.
A restaurant in Second avenue, for
years one of the so-called Bohemian
resorts of the city, has approached
nearer than ever to the borderland of
boulevardism this summer. From an
open-air balcony filled with patrons
dining to placing tables on the side
walk was but a step, and the proprie
tor took it. It was tried the first time
as a makeshift, the second time as
an experiment and the third time as
a permanency unless the police should
interfere. The sidewalk tables were
taken first thing by early comers and
were bespoken for the rest of the
evening by those who preferred to
wait for them rather than take seats
inside. Encouraged by his success,
the proprietor put four tables at the
outer edge of the sidewalk, on the
curb line. They were promptly taken,
in spite of the fact that one of them
was squarely up against an automo
bile belonging to one of the balcony
diners. Dining in the open is by no
means an uncommon hot-weather
sight on the East Side, but a pretense
is always made of shielding the guests
by a row of potted shrubs or a lattice
screen. The absence of these in the
restaurant referred to attracted some
attention from the native-born passer
by, but the foreigners took the inno
vation quite as a matter of course.
MOURN "FATTY" BARKER
Fattest, Biggest and Best-Nature3
Tugboat Captain Is Dead.
The fattest, biggest and best
nature'd tugboat captain in the world
died at his home, 239 Union street,
Brooklyn, yesterday. He was Cap
tain Edgar Barker, of the William J.
McCaldin, for twenty years in the em
ploy of the McCaldin Brothers* com
pany.
Captain Barker weighed 371
pounds, and was known as "Captain
Fatty" by nearly all the British mas
ter mariners that entered this port^
He had towed to sea more Britishc
tonnage, it is said, than any twenty
other skippers. His smile and cheer
ful welcome were looked forward to
by the captains who knew him.
Skipper Barker had a record as a
llfesaver. He once hauled the Ameri-*
can ship William H. Macy from the
sands off Sandy Hook. He was active
in fitting out Cuban filibustering ex
peditions. He leaves a widow and six
children.
Small steam locomotives for special pur*
poses are being made at Dusseldorf, Getr

boiler is simply charged at a central sta

degrees or morethat is. under high pres
sure. This water continues to give
steam automatically until the temperatufti
falls to 212 degrees, whereupon the boilr
is recharged.
Many people think of gold as the molt
valuable metal, whereas there are no)f
seventeen known which are more valuable.
Gold, silver and sometimes platinum af*
classed as "precious" metals, not becau^k
of their intrinsic value so much as be
cause of their resistance to corrosiorx
which makes them suitable for jewelrft
etc. But many metals are more rare aftfl
costly, the new element radium being t&
most striking example.
