Home cars—Red signs and light* Cables Were Lower, Receipts Very Small and Pit Traders Active Sellers CORN QUIET AND STEADY Smaller Local Receipts Than Expected Offset the Effect of Cold Weather Oats Held Firm by Good Buying on Part of Cash Houses Provisions Market Weakens. Chicago, Jan. 15.—Wheat today op ened easy and fairly active. Cables were, lower and receipts in the nofth west were very small. Pit traders were active sellers. May opened at 76% and declined to 76%. Minneapolis, Dulut'n and 'Chicago receipts were 271 cars. Toward noon prices became firm on good general demand, but weakened later, May closing lower at 76%. Corn. Corn was quiet and steady. Local receipts were smaller than expeo and this offset the cold weather whiah was expected to increase the amount of contract corn. May opened at 43%: Receipts were 530 cars. The market became firmer on cov ering by shorts, and May closed higher at 43%. Oats. Good buying by cash houses, based largely upon small local receipts, held oats firm. Trading was fairly active. May opened at 36% and advanced to 37. Receipts were 152 cars. Provisions. Provisions opened strong, but soon weakened on selling by commission Corn Active. Chicago, Jan. 15.—Corn is active with a liberal increase in the volume of trade. May ranging from 43%@43%. .July, 43%@44, May closing higher, July %c higher. Liberal buying of May has continued as well as the buy ing of May against sales of July, which is giving the May market a congested appearance. Country .movement has proved somewhat disappointing, tho a large quantity is now going for direct export via gulf ports. Receipts for last week 2,124 cars, previous week 2, 585 cars. Shippers have been good buyers, tho business is restricted by difficulties of obtaining cars. Pur chases of May corn at this season have seldom in the past nine years had any material risk and each year have shown handsome profits before May 1. The weather is entirely too wet thruout the corn belt for drying out the corn or for a free movement from the country. Former deliveries have fallen off, as roads are bad In the interior. The car supply is still short, but there is enough corn in country elevators and sufficient cars available) to guarantee a good movement for the next thirty days.

McBride & Will Drug Co. GENERAL HOG MARKET HIGHER From a consumptive standpoint the market possesses a great deal of in trinsic merit. Packing in the west for the season is now 810.000 hogs short of last year, and in Chicago is 238,600 short. The average weight of hogs received at Chicago last week was 224 lbs against 225 the previous week and 218 a year ago, when the light end was conspicuous. Quality is very good. Sheep. The market was steady to strong. Receipts were moderate and looked as. tho some of the better sorts of sheep and lambs would sell little higher. The demand for beef cow stock Monday was surprisingly good under such excessive marketing. Prices for a big portion of the run held at a steady level compared with last week'* 'closing, and while the extreme last end of the market was weak and a considerable number of medium cows had to sell 10c lower, there was good tone to the demand at the start, and in the middle hours stimulus of big outside orders effecting rather active selling. Packers were ready buy ers of good cows and heifers most of the day, but showed a preference for the weighty grades, which were in rather small proportion. Fat heifers were likewise keen sell ers and some of the buyers called prices for these on a firm basis. The medium $3.40 and lower priced cows were the slowest sale, and these were the ones which quit on a lower level. Light, low priced heifers were also lower at the close, hut the first sell ing of such kinds was on a pretty' good basis. Speculators were rather cautious operators from the start, Thp# looked for a lower market and wei-e disappointed later in not being ab|? to do much.

Chicago, Jan. 16.—Cattle demand was good, but receipts were only moderate and comprised principally butcher cat tle, there being no steers of very good quality offered. Buying was largely local, especially in the steer trade, where the kinds that outsiders wanted could not be found. The market was about steady. Hogs. It was a wild market at the opening. Scalpers were so eager for hogs that they bid prices which appeared to the regulars to be out of line with the ac tual values ofl animals, but the fdct that this was the judgment of big kill ers did not affect speculators, who bought without cessation the first hour. Prime hogs brought 6.65. The general market looked 5(g10c higher. Chicago Livestock. Chicago, Jan. 15.

All classes of good, smooth horses, weighing 1,100 to 1,500 lbs are selling well, but the country prices are dan gerously high. Trade in big drafters is not as good as last fall, and there is an Impression in market circles that it will lack vim for two months to come. About the best sellers now are smooth, young farm chunks, but buy ers want them young. Top southerners are selling well, but buyers want them young and of good size.

Hog receipts last week 192,115, lar gest week's arrivals since Feb. 10, 1906, when 210,478 were received.

BABIES Further Storms Make It Almost Impossible to Send Fuel Into the Northwest FARMERS WORST SUFFERERS Much of the Blame Charged to the Coal Dealers—Canada Also Suffer ing and Deep Snows Cause Livestock to Starve and Freeze—Several Deaths Reported in North Dakota. Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 15.—There is no sign of relief in the fuel situa tion in the northwest yet, and little prospect that the conditions will be materially improved until spring. Fuei is coming in, but the depletion of old stocks in the hands of individual con sumers, together with steady cold weather, increases the demand, and the railroad conditions grow worse Instead of better. The snow is getting deeper and the walls of the cuts higher and every little wind fills them and impedes the progress of trains. It cannot be too thoroughly understood that the conditions in the sparsely settled por tions of the state are extremely grave, and even in the older sections the pinch is felt severely. .. Blames Coal Dealers, Larimore, S. D., Jan. 15.—Louis W. Hill, vice president of the Great Nor thern, while in the city, spoke of a coal dealers' combination. Many peo ple having full knowledge of this com bination and the difficulty in getting fuel, asked Mr. Hill while here to look into the matter and take it up. Yesterday he sent the following mes sage to James J. Hill, St. Paul: "I find in every town that parties who tried to get coal in early were re fused coal by the dealers at the head of the lakes, and referred to retail dealers up here who carried no coal In the early fall when they wanted it, and the dealers did not begin placing or ders till September and October, when the grain congestion began. "There is a combination of retail dealers who control the coal business here and will boycott any Duluth or Superior dealer who sells outside." In »n interview he said, referring to the above message: "This is the worst feature of the sit uation. If combination here assumes responsibility of handling all the coal they should have anticipated it, and not expect the railway to keep the towns supplied by ordering a car at a time. "I have talked with many old-timers who have tried, as was their custom, to put in the supply of coal early, but could get nothing from the dealers at Duluth and Superior, or the retail dealers here. Ed Saunders gave this information to the interstate commerce commission at their .hearing in Minne apolis. "It might be worth their while to look intp it. I find the big orders plac ed were after the blizzard began. "We ran seven coal speciais last night out of one point and are doing everything possible to help the situa tion. There is no cause for suffering while we are distributing company coal. "The responsibility should not rest on us, but on the retail combination, who are in business. and at present monopolize it. If they had anticipated and co-operated as we are doing, there would have been no shortage." Bad in Canada. Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 15.—The snow fall thruout the Canadian northwest this winter is remarkable, establishing a record .for .many years and already there are foi%bodings regarding floods in the spring. The snow is so deep that the lumbering industry in the Rid ing Mountains has been crippled and many of the camps abandoned, the snow averaging from five to fifteen feet in the woods. Wood cutting has been suspended and railroad traffic badly paralyzed. Advices received from many of the western towns show that they are in sa.d want of fuel and in some instances the people have been obliged to burn manure to cook and keep warm. Word comes from Neep'awa that the town is without fuel of any descrip tion and Canadian Northern trains are stalled on the track. Such a snowfall has not been seen there since the first white man settled on the plains. From Calgary, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat reports have been received to the effect that thousands of cattle are starving there for want of food, the snow hav ing covered all the herbage and the little that was exposed has been ren dered useless by' the heavy frosts fol lowing closely on the chinooks. Farmers say that stock feed will be scarce, as owing to the cold weather Scott's Emtxtsion need if they are not thriving. It is food for bone, blood and flesh. It makes thin, peevish babies plump, con tented and rosy-faced. Pale, nervous girls need Emulsion. Scott's It brings back the color to their cheeks and strength to their nerves. Nursing mothers must provide nour ishment for two. The concentrated nourishment of Scott's Emulsion gives strength to both mother and infant. Invaluable for coughs and colds. 9 4» ALL DRUGGISTS I 60c.

Owing to the deep snow, deer are coming down into the settlements and seem quite tame, and wolves and other wild ani mals are getting into the towns and villages seeking food from the refuse piles. Last week a wolf was seen run ning thru the business portion of Win nipeg, and a few hours later a lynx was killed near the new Canadian Pa cific depot. jVIany farmers report elk, moose and deer near their residences or buildings and complaints are made of killing them out of season. A number of towns, including Por tage la Prairie, Carberry, Boissevain, Minto and Cartwright, also report a shortage of fuel, in fact every town In the Canadian northwest is suffering from a want of fuel. Lumbermen re port that logs fall into the deep snow and cannot be gotten out in fact, the whoio of the Canadian northwest is paralyzed by the heavy snowfall. Three Deaths Reported. Washington, Jan. 15.—Senator Hans, borough, who was at the white house yesterday, said he had received a let ter from a friend at Minot, Ward coun ty, North Dakota, saying that three women had be6n found frozen to death and the facts had been kept out of the newspapers. He referred to this in a general talk about the car shortage re sulting in a lack of fuel. COAL CATCHES FIRE. Threatens Destruction of Buildings Near Electric Plant, Mason City. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, Jan. 15.—Thru spontan eous combustion, a pile of coal used for generating steam at the 'Brice Gas & Electric Company plant caught fir? and for a time threatened the neighboring buildings of the plant. The timely dis covery of the smoking coal was thought to have prevented a general conflag ration and which would have resulted in serious loss to property, both for the company and for neighboring con cerns.
