Chicago, Aug. 2.—Cattle—Receipts today were 300. being the wek's arrivals up to 42,000. against 4S.0O0 last week. These greatly reduced supplies have caused un upward movement in good cattle of from 10frl5 higher than last week, but poorer grades are 10^1 15 low er. There are not enough good fat cat tle coming here, but packers are using so many western range and Texans that there is less inquiry for common and medium natives. Prices today were about unchanged from yesterday. Ilogs—Hogs were still lower today, in spite of the continued light receipts. Only about 17.000. including 7,000 left over, were offered for sale today. The week's receipts were 90,000, compared with 152.000 last week. Packers were bearish, complaining of a serious fall ing off in the consumption of pork and cured meats as a result of the extreme ly high prices, and it is evident they are going tfi do all that lies in their power to force prices still lower. Sheep—Offerings were insignificant today and prices nominal. The week's receipts were 70,000, against 71,000 last week. Prices declined along the entire line. Chicago Livestock. Chicago, Aug. 2.

The eastern trade is almost at a standstill, with only a few of the best heavy horses and the better grades of drivers being sought. Prime feeders are in good demand, with Ohio. Indiana and. Pennsylvania dealers, but it is a lilei ous job to pick up a load of the right Sep- kind.

The Prospects for Good Fall Sport in the State of Min nesota. Another Iowa Horse Gets a Fast Mark The Telegraph Shoot. Wliile In many parts of the state ten- and maiiag r.is seems to lie one of the "dead ones" among games, in other localities. interest in the sport is al its highest ebb. A tournament has just closed at Humboldt and the Northwestern Iowa Lawn Tennis Association will hold its annual meet at Alden commei.cing August 5. Contestants form several of the near-by cities and towns will be present at this meet and prizes will be awarded in both singles and doubles. Alden is noted, and has been for years, for its tennis players, and it is reported that some of its enthusiasts fairly live on the courts at that place. While great interest is manifested in the game at Humboldt. Alden and some few other localities it is nevertheless faetthal there are fewer persons play ing the game now than there was live years ago. The reason for this can not be readily understood, for of all the g'Hiiies played on the American turf to day not one is better than the ancient game of tennis. There is no good rea son why the many vacant lots scattered about in the various cities of the slate should not be utilized for tennis courts. It is more than likely that the lack of interest shown in this g-.ime is due largely to the fact that it has not been generally understood. Many people un acquainted with the jrame can see but little sport in balling a ball back and forth over a net. Put this is entirely due to their lack of knowledge, for to the man or woman who loves a sport that calls into play both physical and mental activity, there is no belter game. The person that has once played iit, and thoroughly understands its liner points, will invariably name it as his favorite among out-door sports, inex pensive. Interesting to watch and ex citing to play are some of tlie things one of the .As was predicted in these columns some time ago, ihe fishing in many of the rivers and streams of the state that were swollen with the rains of a few weeks ago, has greatly improved in the past week or ten days, now that the water has again reached something like their normal stage. Reports of good catches of game lish have come in from various localities, and the pros pects for even better fishing in the fall are very flattering. This is especially true df the tributary streams and creeks. And lisli are being taken from small streams and bayous that hereto fore have held but little attraction to the fisherman. t.-v' Many of the sportsmen of this "slate depend oil Minnesota to furnish them with a few days' outing that ih«-y are able to enjoy each year. To those that expect to angle in the waters of tliOj lakes and streams of Minnesota it will: be good news to know that from reiia ble sources it is learned that the fall fishing in that state will be much bet ter sport than that of the summer. This is accounted for by the reason that heavy rains have washed a great deal of food into tho lakes, and until this is devoured by the lish the sport is likely to prove comparatively tame. This has been the case this summer, and so far in many of the lakes of that state the fishing has not been as good as usual. To those that love to follow the dog over stubble and thru the long grass of sloughs, it will he interesting to know that in many sections of Minnesota the crop of prairie chickens promises to lie '"the largest known in many years. This is especially true of the section of country lying between Albert Lea and Austin. Advices received from farther north, where the ducks breed and send the summer, indicates that the lakes are fairly alive with young birds. While many of these will furnish food for turtles ami fish, still enough will be left to grow to maturity to furnish immense Hocks that will be making their southward migration as soon as the season arrives. Another Iowa horse has come to the front and has won purses for his own er, and a fast mark for himself, on the track of an adjoining state. Larrio (Sinter, owned by C. S. Lucas, of Iowa Slander Suit at Iowa City Asks That city, got first money in the 2:11 pace at Freeport, III., recently, and established for himself a new record in the sensa tional time of 2:0S%. ... The Davenport marksmen are to fig ure in a novel shoot on the 3(1 inst., when they take part in the annual tele graph team shoot of the Central Schuetzen Bund, one of the more prom inent organizations of marksmen in I lie northwest. There will be twenty teams in the contest from this section of the country, who will telegraph their scores to St. Louis, where the scores will be registered and the prizes awarded. TENNIS AT ALDEN.

Man-it uf.'K'turing plants are well occupied :is rule, iron and steel leading, followed by textiles and foot wear. Fuel scarcity is still causing delay, allho coke ovens], are still passing all previous figures and cuiput. and bituminous mines are vig orously operated. At most points retail trade is active and preparations continue for heavy fall sales, while spring lines are opened with good results. Railway earnings thus far Hvailable for July show ,T gain of 3.3 per cent over 1901 and 20.S per cent over 1900. With business in sight for at least a year, the leading departments of the iron and steel industry may properly be considered prosperous. Of engines, machinery and heavy hardware there is a serious shortage, orders for delivery in 1902 being out of the question. In textile manufacturing the feature I was the opening of men's wear worsted fabrics for next spring with a general advance of 2Vi to 10 per cent. Cotton goods tend In favor of the pur chasers, owing to the prospects of a large cotton crop and the light export movement. Hides have made further sensational advances, Colorado steers reaching new high record prices. Moats have shown a tendency to seek slightly lower quota tions, but light receipts and higher quality do not promise any extensive relief In the immediate future.
