AeRIOyLTSIRAL-OOMRIiERGIAL-INDUSTRIAL-FIMAMCsAL 8 START IN CATTLE BREEDING : ~ ~^ NEEDS OF MORE BEEF CATILE IN MINNESOTA How n HoKlnninw May Be Made In tin' Industry V Gooil Homo Market at South St. Paul Poor Grades of Stackers From Dairy Paras the Hulk of Preseat offcr lll»M. A shipper to the South St. Paul sto-.-k yards was giving to the writer, a few days a?o, . in, Interes Ing points of experience in his portico. .ar line of occupation. He "is a NiTth n.ik, ea tanner, with a s«e--ion of land of his -wi. and tlie range of tributary lands upon which to graze cattle. Ke is now earing for some MO head and bringing them to markee Whenever he ian make a selection of enough that are sufficiently fat to kill. He remarked incidentally that there was much encourage ment afforded to those engaged in ihe In ilu.iry hy reas n of the eis'.ence of so good a market at this pclnt to which, cs he sail, all tie railroads seemed to run. He was ask. .1 some questions as to profl's and the grades of animals which made the best re turns. I lis answers were substantially tei the effect that raising and feeding good Cattle was profitable, but th it it was fo ly to f. t.l poor stock and hogs to make any money in the enterprise. This man usuai:>- buys his young stock on this market. He knows precisely what he? wants, and never buys unless 1 ? can secure it. On this occasion he was returning home without having made any purchases, be cause he failed to see a single stocker in the pens that it would pay to ship. He said, however, that oftentimes he was able to pick out some rood lots, and that nearly all those which he will market here this cming season will be animals selected at the Soueh St. Paul yards. "Hut." he added, "the only weakness here is that so many of the young cattle offered are dairy stock, and they are no good for fattening. I have tried It and know what I say is so. Fcr Instance, one of the steers I brought in today was a Holstein. When I bought him I knew, of course, whit breed he was, and I paid $5 less for him than for the others. He was a good-looking fellow, and I thought I would Just take him for an experiment. He took his chancs with all the ohers; had Just as much fe?d atid care, but when he w.'nt into tV.e yards he brought a little over $10 less than the others. You can't put the fat on him. and that is all there ts of it." A careful inspection of the young strek which has Just been coming forward during th* past six weeks or two mon'hs Indicated the scarcity of really fine specimens in th se lines. Occasionally there have been sceme which bore the markings of the Shorthorn, the Foiled Angus and the Hereford Strains, but these were few. I'ndoub'rd'.y the f.-ct that the large dairy interests of Minnesota and Wisconsin are so large has much to do with this condition; but it wou d seem that fanners, recognizing the proximity of so ex cellent a market, would incline to expand ths industry of growing beef cattle in cenju c tion with the dairy herds. Some excellent advice Is frequent'y cilled forth by correspondents se>klng in drm i lon who write directly to live stork or farm pc l od>als. As an indication of this and b cause Of the value of tee advice aff-rdd and th source whencj it is drawn we submit the fol lowing from the lowa Homestead: A START IX CATTLE. A correspondent who desc-ibe-s h:m elf as having recently married, and gone to farml g on his own account, writes asking for s in ■ suggestions as to how he had bettr malt.- a ' st.irt in growing beef cattle. Re says hi' he lies been familiar with t'.:e ordinary farm management oi cattle ever since he W ; big enough to be- about them: that he Leiieves b-tt cattle have to b? well bred, but that he h*s no present Intention of becoming a brtcde of j ore bred stock, although he may drift :nte> tils kind ft breeding if he finds h-'ni*=elf ad art -I ;o the work.

Pig iron production for the first ha'.f of this year, by statistics of ths American Iron and Steel asFociition, surpassed all previous records, reaching the grand total of 5,869,708 gn.-ss tons. The fact that this output has bf-rely met the demand, ln the face of a s ate of war, will not prove encouraging to thcsa Europeans who have been hoping for th» time when our cost of production would ap.sin prohlb't us exporting iron and st' el 10 tle-iir domain. It is gratifying, locally, to note that Pennsylvania leads In the increased output with 255.167 tons over the previous six months, and that Ohio is next with an Increase of 260,024 tons. The indications from Iron and steel are that the country ls prosperous and that, after the war is over, it will enter upon a period of commercial and industrial activity never before equaled. As a. matter of fact t 1 erj is even now an Increase in the ffUlpuc p-f manufactures. The furnaces of the coun try have started the second half of the year at a rate to exceed tbe output of the first half and other manufactures are endeavoring to keep up .with the pace they set,— Pit s-burg Despatch.

July closed 3*>4c lower, Sep tember %c and December 1e%91%C down. Cor*a declined %@ :< 4c. Oats lost VtC. Provisions ; collapsed with wheat ; pork closed 37% c low er, lard lOfllL'li.c off and ribs I&OT7M-C down. Weather of the most favorable character for the spring crop and reported depression of prices at Liverpool and London caused a weak feeling here at the opening. July was ; much weaker than more distant deliveries. I owing to the freedom of the movement of i new wheat and the consequent greater re | luctanee of millers -md shippers to continue ; paying premiums for immediate delivery. The I weather ln the United Kingdom and con tinent was said to be favorable. Harvesting I was reported progressing in Russia and Itou | mania, with prospects of an enormous yield. The spot price here was down 4e and out ! side markets showed a corespondinrg decline. : Futures became heavier under that break In the cash markets, and prices continued on the downward course until the close of the session. ' The total receipts at the Western primary markets were 760,000 bu. against 706 000 bu list year. Chicago received 237 carloads, lof which 94 were contract. A year ago local ! receipts were 264 cars.

July, which closed yesterday at 74c. left off today at 70'4c. i Scattered showers and cooler weather start ied corn lower. Scalpers were disposed to do | considerable selling and some of the prom inent bulls also sold freely. The country. ; however, was a good buyer through com mission houses and ft steady feeling wis de i veloped at the decline. The decided weak- I ness of wheat ln the last hour of the ses ! sion had a depressing effect and took all . the bull sentiment out of the crowd. Sep tember opened -H^'.ic lower at from 35c ■' down to 34-lic. rose to 35% c, then reacted to i 34% c, closing with sellers at 34Zc. i Oats were almost steidy on a good sea ; board demand. SoDtember opened %c lower j at ante, rose to 20% c. reacted to 20% c, thia firmed up to 20Zc, the closing figure. Provisions opened easy on the soft feeling in corn and a somewhat lower market for hogs. The market had an appearance of firmness at a moderate decline until near the close, when prices slumped off on the j break in wheat. September pork opened 5c j lower at $9.95 and dropped to ?9.62 to the j closing figure. September lard began 2%(&0c down at J5.60, rose to $5.62. then fell to $5.57% at the close.

Bar silver, New York ....09 59% Call money, New York.l'/iOl'/i WOttS NEW YORK, July 26.— A eoncatn atlon of causes was responsible for the awakening of the stock market tteday from the l'jh rgy that has held it foif nearly two m, o h 3. T.ie bears had their Innings early ln th« day, as sisted by a lower range of p Ices for Amer icans from London. LatT Nor hw st ml iU subsidiary road, Omaha, had a rally, an 1 from them the movement broad- ned mi strengthened all through tbe rair-tad list. Strength was also radiated from a group of bituminous coal roaeds, includ ng Norfolk & Western pfd, Chicago, India ntpo'is & L uis ville pfd, Baltimore & Ohio and Wheel'ng & Lake Erie pfd. The movement in th se stocks served to make rather con^picuoi's the qu et ude of other soft coal stocks, which have b en assigned an important pla'e ln the rend n? plan of the amalgamation of s'ft c _ al int r c-sts. The activity and strength ln Suga was also a dominating lnfluer.c; in tie nta- ket, accompanied though it was by all forts of sensational rumen", and very obvi u?l.' manipulated to squeeze the shor s. Peac .* rumors were renewed in the lat:*r del'ngs and the announc-inent of the su'-c ss ul land ing of the United States focss in Porto Kict> also added to the buoyant tendency of tho trading. But the most potent el ment in th? situation vvas the growing certainty th t ai abundance of money would ecu inue at the command of the business of thi3 c v try.
