'PAGE (TLX, ..'T.T"""ir - THE MvJXNING PALLADIUM THURSDAY, MARCH 8. 1906. RICHMOND IS A GOOD SOAP TOWN A LOCAL JOBBER OBSERVES THAT IT IS WELL DESERV ING OP CLEANLINESS. SOLD TWO CAR LOADS OF SOAP Traveling Men Have No Trouble in Selling New Brands of Wash ing Powders. "Richmond certainly deserves its name as 'a "cleanly city," said a lo cal jobber yesterday. "One of the best selling articles we have is soap, both toilet and for general use. Last week we sold two carloads of soap made by a certain Chicago firm in this city alone and the demand by the retailers for it is undiminished." A local retail grocer bore out this statement when seen yesterday, and stated that it would be impossible to state the number of bars of soap sold in this city each month. There is al so a great amount of washing pow ders sold in Richmond. Traveling men introducing a new brand of soap, an exceptionally hard job, find the retailers in this city easy to sell to, and state that Richmond is one of the greatest "soap" towns in the mid dle states. 4 , , . . , , , ' ' LOCAL MARKETS 1 COUNTRY PRODUCE. .

New York, March 7. Brad street' report on the visible supply of grain shows: Wheat east of Rockies, decrease, 9,000 bushels; Europe and afloat, in crease, 4,400,000 bushels. To tal increase, 4,391,000 bushels. Corn, increase, 1,4G7,000 bush els. Oats, decrease, 1,521,000 bushels. Chicago, March 7. The wheat market was inclined to be weak at the opening and pit traders generally were favorable to the selling side. The fact that the Liverpool market showed no advance coresponding to the Yoc increase in price registered here yesterday and favorable weath er for the crop in the Southwest were the main weakening influences. Com- j mission houses were the principal ! buyers. May opened Vsi6 to 4 c lower. Wet Weather for Corn. The corn market was steady, chief ly because of reports of wet weather and hgher temperature. Cables were firmer. May corn opened a shade lower to a hade higher. The market in the oats pit was steady, chiefly because of small local receipts. Trading was exceedingly quiet. May oats opened unchanged to a shade lower. Because of a 5c to 10c decline in the price of live hogs the provisions market was easier. Offerings were light and there was very little trad ing.

Fresh and delicious INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS Break in Hog Prices in Market De cline Was Ten to Twenty Cents Some Unsold Weaker Feeling for Cattle. Indianapolis, March 7. Receipts 7,500 hogs and 1,500 cattle against 5,095 hogs, 1,393 cattle and 23 sheep a week ago, and 4,396 hogs, 1,100 cat tle and 31 sheep a year ago. "While the receipts of hogs were lib eral in comparison with the supplies recently, reports from other markets were unfavorable to the selling side, and with no urgent demand from out side sources local packers were slow in making their selections. Salesmen accepted bids made by shippers for a few loads of light hogs, which were 10c and 15c lower than equal kinds sold for yesterday. After all the urgent orders had been filled, Kingan & Co. took a hand in the market at 10c and 20c lower for all kinds. At the close of trade sev eral loads were left in the pens un sold. Sales ranged from $6.15 to $6.45, with the bulk of the sales at $6.20 and $6.35. Female Cattle First to Sell. The situation in the cattle market was different from yesterday, receipts being larger buyers took more time in making their selections, which con sister early in the day of the female butcher stuff. Finally, however, the market was fairly active and while prices were not quotably lower, it was evident there was a weaker feel ing. There was a good clearance of the female grades, but at a late hour few steers had changed hands. "When bids were made for steers they were 1015c lower in all cases. There was a better demand from local buyers for feeders and all that were here sold at steady prices. Bulls were steady and calves steady to strong compared with yesterday. Small Sheep Receipts. Receipts of sheep and lambs were small, not enough here to establish new prices. Lambs sold as high as $7.00 and good kinds at $6.75 with culls as low as $5.00. Sheep are as high as $5.00 and culls to good kinds $3.004.50. Lower For Horses. About 400 head of horses arrived for the closing auction sale, against $5.50 the same time last week. The supply was equal to the average heretofore this season, and fully as large as expected at this time in the year. All kinds were represented, and there were a few good horses in the consignments. There was a bet ter attendance of buyers than for the initial sale, but prices were about the same, the market being regarded lower than last week. Cattle.

MARKET LATER DECLINED Stocks Were Offered Down Steadily A Number Selling Much Below Yesterday's Closing. New York, March 7. Prices in the stock market opened with substantial advances all through the list in sym pathy with the improved tone of the London market. Anaconda rose 5V, Reading, 1, Northern Pacific, Nor folk & Western, Amalgamated Cop per, Colorado Fuel, about a point and Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific large fractions. The forced character of the open ing rise was shown when the profes sionals stopped bidding up stocks and attempted to get rid of some of their purchases. The demand fell off quickly and stocks were offered down steadily a number of favorites sell ing as much below yesterday's clos ing as they had above it at the start. Reading bore the brunt of the selling but there was also considerable amounts of Amalgamated Copper and other specialties disposed of. Sluggish and Unimportant. The .market became extremely dull at the decline fluctuations were slug gish and unimportant. Northwestern declined 2, Illinois Central 2 and St. Paul, Great Northern preferred and Pressed Steel Car 1. Bonds were heavy. The improvement in prices was scarcely perceptible, but the market got gradually higher, Colorado Fuel and Distillers' Securities rising a point. NEW YORK STOCKS. (Furnished by O. G.
