Does "Trade Follow the Flag?"
*1 he shibboleth of the expansionists,
■ follows tha flag," is somewhat
set at naught by Lord Farrer,
In the Contemporary Review. The peer
has been rooting around in board of
reports and bringing to light flg
•uivs which show that, if trade does fol
h v. ,)ie flag, It follows as Peter did his
t si kt — "afar off."
The figures presented are these:
The imports Into Great Britain from
a countries from 1855 to 1859 av
eraged £129,000,000 annually, and those
British possessions, £40,000,000.
Tlie average value of exports to foreign
countries for the same period was £80,
--©OO,OOO, and to British possessions £36,-
In 1895, when tha Union Jack
floated over vastly Increased territories.
Imports from foreign countries amount
ed to £321,000,000, while those from Brit
tab possessions amounted to £96,000,000.
same year the "exports to foreign
countries amounted to £156,000,000; those
to British possessions £70,000,000.
In other words, while the volume of
Import and export trade with foreign
countries had increased by £268,000,000,
with British possessions shows a
gain of £90,000,000, ln spite of the great
expansion of those possessions.
Investigation into the trade reports
of ither "expansive" countries shows
the same, or even a less hopeful result,
a fact which leads Lord Farrer to the
conclusion that, however astute the
Americans have been In domestic trade,
tfc \v prove themselves but tyros in
commercial principles If they embark
on a policy of expansion ln the belief
that "trade follows the flag." The fact
thai the Stars and Stripes float over
tho Philippines will not induce the
Negritoes to encase their prehensile
ttet> in shoes, even though the shoes
ate American made, nor will it per
suade them to change their Adamite
apparel for the more seemly and trade
rs Mo-lug garments made in this coun
try.
Our Sister of tha North.
I' the Toronto World is a true re
flectlon of feeling existing on the other
' our border land to the north,
la is trembling on a precipice.
The people over the line have been
ing the progress of the annexa
tion fever which began its dangerous
pments subsequent to the cap
£ Santiago, with a great deal of
apprehension. The Canadians have a
leal of the blood of John Bull in
them and know what it means when a
nation logins to Indulge In the culti
vation if an appetite for more tarri-
They know, also, that there
i" some of the same blood ln the veins
of thfir neighbors to the south, and
probably they have read biographical
sketches of President McKinley, the
illustrious Alger, and others, and have
recognized traces of the same corpus
cles in the veins of the American
statesmen of which the two officials
named above are representatives.
Canada, or the people of Canada,
has a sort of a self-rel ; ant feeling,
and the bump of vitativeness on the
colonial head is sufficiently prominent
nifest itself in the desire not to
»n priated and literally swallowed
up by a political neighbor.
FJut that there is consternation ex
isting among the Canucks there is no
doubt, and this Is what the Toronto
World has to say on the subject:
"Unlees Canadians are fully alive to the
■ and speak out In no uncertain way
ill find themselves be! ween a grasping
tion movement in the United S-atos
for its end the domination of the
' .nti-nent, ard a (Treat party in Ens
nared to in.ike aimdst any sacrifices
'.'ni.cd States In eon. .deration of some
support of England in her race with i
France and other European powers."
Allusion was made a few days ago, in
The «*. lo b c, to the "expansive speech"
ed by Gen. James H. Wilson, on
bis : . cent trip with President McKin
ley in the South. Gen. Wilson entered
upon a prophecy, and in the outline
which he gave of the future he ex
press) d confidence that before the ex
piration of President MeKiniey's "next"
term the flag of the United States
would float over all the territory on the
American continent, from what he
styled the frozen north to the Gulf of
:.:■ ti' o, and including Central America.
arse, if he located his claims upon
the frozen north he undoubtedly ad
vanced his parallel as near the north
s American explorers have ever
approached. This would include Cana
da. It is no wonder, therefore, that
the citizens of that colonial possession
of Great Britain should feel a little
app'-ehensive, as they into the
mouth of Gen. Wilson during the de-
Uvery of this utterance and contem
plate the enormous capacity- of the
maw of the McKinley administrate J.T.
which can take in Porto Rico on one
side f the earth, and Hawaii and the
Philippine islands en the other, all in
one gulp, and then stand up before the
world with a face all wreathed in
smiles that indicate internal satisfac t
tion.
The Canadians, according to the
Toronto World, seem to realize that the
inevitable is at hand, and that they
will be obliged to walk the plank, so
to speak, out from under the shadow
of the English Jack and enter into tha
realm of protection afforded by th*
Star-Spangled Banner. And this ls the
way in -which they gracefully yield:
"We hopefully look forward to the eventual
withdrawal of the European pow«_ra from
tills hcmlspl'cri. and to tbe ultimate union
of all the Kusj'tefh-spri'ilklng part of the con
tinent by the free consent of ha inhabitants."
Gracefully said! A murderer was
hanged ln New Jersey about a genera
tion ago. His last request was, as he
was invited by the sheriff to advance
to the scaffold, for a piece of apple
pie. He chewed the pie while the rope
was being placed about his neck and
audibly ejaculated: "To think that I
should be choked to death eating Jer
sey apple pie!"
Suggestions to Emigrants.
This country ls in no immediate
danger of -becoming depopulated by a
rush of emigrants to Porto Rico, Ha
waii or the Philippines; and yet there
are a few people heard from now and
then who desire information as to how
to proceed if they shall determine to
transfer their residence from the
United States to one of our "new de
pendencies." To these the answer
can properly be made that if a man
really wants to leave this country to
trj his fortune in any of "our colo
nies," the best method of procedure
Is to go by water, in a steamer or sail
ing vessel, inasmuch as the walking is
not good, and swimming would prove
exhausting as well as cold and uncom
fortable.
Just why any sane man, who is
worth saving, should desire to strike
out into these "new possessions" is
beyond comprehension. But there are
some who really fancy that they see
a light beckoning to them from afar,
and that it is held aloft by the hand
of fortune. It would not be elegant
to denominate them as fools; but. the
English vocabulary is very short of
words that can properly be applied to
them otherwise.
One of the greatest aids to the up
building of this country has been the
ease with which government lands
might be acquired by those who sought
them. These have been taken up so
freely in the past that an impression
prevails that none is left. It is true
that the settlement of our public do
main has been going on at a pretty
rapid rate during the past thirty
years; but the secretary of the in
terior, in his last annual report, states
that 71,000,000 acre^s remain under gov
ernment control, capable of cultiva
tion either under the process of Irri
gation or from the natural rainfall.
As an indication of the continued
eagerness of people to secure these
holdings, the report says that 11,328,037
acres of public land were disposed of
during the last fiscal year to private
settlers, and 1,032,534 acres to railway
companies.
Of course there are large areas of
arid wastes that can probably never
be made available for agricultural
uses, but the above figures represent
the amount of good lands open to set
tlement. Right here in Minnesota
there are 5,720,326 acres, and in North
and South Dakota only half the land
is occupied. And these figures do not
include the millions of acres contained
in the land grants to railways, and
which can be secured on terms almost
as advantageous as those offered by
the government.
There is no occasion for men who are
good for anything lying awake of
nights planning how they may pro
ceed to Hawaii or the Philippines in
search of a fortune. There is plenty
of room for men that are made of the
right kind of stuff right here in the
Northwest. But it ls needless for any
other class to apply. These latter
should set out at the earliest possible
moment on a swimming-match to our
"new dependencies" in the Pacific.
They will have a Godspeed from
shore as they depart, and no doubt a
warm welcome if they arrive at their
destination.

METROPOLITAN.
"Cyrano de BergeTac" was a hit ln the
But, and its success there will likely be re
peated in the 'Northwest, judging by the
manner in wjiich it waa received by the
spectators at the Metropolitan last night. No
one expected to see a Mansfield ln Mr. Wil
son Enos, who assumed the leading rol.,
and perhaps the success scored by that
clever, capable young actor waa enhanced
by the fact that he did much better than hit
hearers had expected he would do. Manager
Scott is to be congratulated and complimented
on the staging, property presentation and
costumes. He has been at considerable ex
pense ln giving to St. Paul theatergoers as
correct a presentation of "Cyrano de Ber
gerac" as consistent at tho prices, and cer
tainly there ls no room for complaint at the
Metropolitan this week.
Mr. Enos gave an exceptionally powerful
presentation of the diVieufct character of De
Bergerac. He ls a finished actor, a gocd
reader, and with a bit more rugged, physique
•would be indeed a model Cyrano. Miss
Bertha Creigbton'a Roxane could not have
been more satisfactorily presented. The
young lady is clever in tbat she has the
requisite grace and feminine loveliness and
does not overdo her work. Cyrano and Rox
ane afford ample room and opportunity for
rant, but there was none of it ln last night's
presentation of "De Bergerac" at the Metro
politan.
The support was excellent. Messrs. Walter
Gieene, Hal Davis, Frederick Montague, Ben
3. Meats, Miss Berkeley and other members
of the cast performed their part in pleasing
the audience, and the initial performance of
"Cyrano de Bergerac" in St Paul was one
of the pronounced successes of the present
season.
GRAND.
Sousa's "El Capttan," presented to a St.
Paul audience for the flrst time last night,
naturally loses no element of success locally
by closely following the appearance of Its
composer here as an idolized band conductor.
But the composer haa embodied ln the score
gems that could not fail to thrill one, whether
they were marked Sousa or plain John Smith.
Will C. Mandevllle, following as he does
De Wolf Hopper ln the title role, gave a
performance that deserves commendation for
one virtue that many other followers of
Hopper have failed to embody, the ability to
dissect from Hopper's breezy breezlness
the personal mannerisms so invariably
identified with Hopper's work. Mandeville's
"El Capltan" ls true to the blustering vice
roy, with all hie fustian. Mr. Mandeville's
"business" is entertaining, and, while,
musically, his rendition was not all that
could be asked for, he seemed to be at a
disadvantage last night. This, by the way,
might have admonished him rather to omit
than to Insert a little "kidding," which as
a rule can well be reserved In the profes
sion for matinee performances rather than
first nights, and has no legitimate place
anyway in a production of the ambitious
character of "El Capltaa."
Kate Michelena's Isabel deserves the most
complimentary mention. If one number in
the opera can be picked out of the lot and
praised without invidious distinctions, it
should be her ''Sweetheart, I'm Dreaming. 1 "
Mias Michelena was ln admirable voice last
night %nd sang with a sweetness that cap
tivated- as well as a power that inspired.
Madeline Lack's Eatrelda ls winsome. Sh«
is possessed of a remarkably sweet voice and
is withal a sprightly comedienne.
Ediward P. WHks' Posso fits well into the
second comedy role, for which nature and
art are perhaps entitled to share equal credit.
Harry Carter's Scaramba i« better musical
ly than dramatically. The trio in the third
act, "Zanzibar," is- one of the pleasant fea
tures of the evening and made an immense
hit last night, although the real enthusiasm
of the evening was inspired by the rendition
after the finale of the second act of "The
Stars and Stripes Fbrever." The audience
went literally wild,.
The chorus sings well and Is shapely, if
not handsomer The production is effectively
staged.
A special matinee will be given today.
BAND CONCERT.
Every available seat at the Grand opera
house was filled yesterday afternoon at the
farewell concert given by the military band
of the Third regiment before its departure for
Manila. The big flag from Fort Snelling was
draped clear across the proscenium arch, and
the audience appeared to be overflowing with
patriotic enthusiasm that found vent at the
close of the first part of the programme when
the band played "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
while, the audience rose and cheered, and
again when Sousa's "Stars and Stripes For
ever," from "El Capltan," was given as an
encore, and the members of "El Capitan"
company, who occupied the boxes, sang the
grand war song with decided effect.
The programme, which was admirably ar
ranged, was under the direction of Conductor
Charles Graves, and there were thirty-seven
pieces in the band.
A feature of the concert was a duet, "Quia
Est Homo," from "Stabat Mater," by Mrß.
S. V. Harris and Miss M. E. Pottgieser, with
Mrs. Frank L. Hoffman as accompanist. Ev
ery number all the way through the pro
gramme was encored, testifying to the appre
ciation shown by the audience for the quality
of the music turned out by the warriors from
Fort Snelling. Among the more pleasing num
bers were a selection from "Robin Hood,"
and Molloy's "Love's Old Sweet Song."
Shoe and Leather Interests.
From the Boston Post.
The great Industry of New England, built
up on the basis of free hides, and asking no
favors of "protection." fllmds itself forced
Into an attitude of antagonism to the policy
of the present national administration
through the necessity of protecting itself.
The address of the Hon. William B. Rice,
before the New England Shoe and Leather
association, state this position very clearly.
The president of the association condemns
squarely and emphatically the Dingley tariff
tax on hides, and called upon all men en
gaged ln trades having leather as their basis
to join forces and fight togetheir "to remove
the agencies which hamper prosperity."
The policy of expansion is regarded with
equal disfavor by these representatives of
New England industry. Trade does not fol
low the flag, declared President Rice, but
the flag follows trade; and "shoe manufac
turers who export their goods will sell $10
worth in civilized countries for every $1 worth
sold in the Philippines."
Instead of protection for trusts and expan
sion for politics. New Elaglaod industry asks
for free raw material and firee expansion of
trade. And the shoe and leather industry,
in which New England leads the country, as
the largest producer, has a right to speak out
cm these questions.
Still They Come.
In the news today are reports of the
organization of a silverware combination and
the preliminary steps in the formation of a
flint-glass bottle trust.
Silverware is protected by a duty of 45

of one cent per pound.
As the World showed on Monday, the trusts
organized in this city within the last few
months have a capitalization of over $600,
--000,000. '
The Sherman anti-trust law declares all.

of trusts or otherwise," to be illegal. Th«

the organization of the monopolies goes right
on as If there were neither law nor court.

taining as secretary of war a man who had

lation, said a New Yorker. My. friend shrug
ged his shoulders, regarded the pavement at
tentively, and then told me the following
story:
"There once lived In China," said he, "a
philosopher, Hung Fung, one hundred years
old. The emperor once said to him:
" 'Hung, ninety years of study and obser
vation must have made you wise. Tell me,
what Is the great danger of a government?"
" 'WeFl,' quoth Hung, 'lt'« the rat in the
statue ! '
" 'The rat tn the statue!' repeated, the
emperor. 'What do you mean?'
" ' W*», rem mmmm.' retorts* Hung, 'mo
build statues to the memory of our ancestor*.
They are made of wood, and are hollow and
painted. Now, If a rat gets Into one, you
can't smoko It out— lt's the linage of your
father. You can't plunge it Into the water
that would wash, off the paint So the rat
is saifo because the etatuo is sacred.' "

perstition the go-by. and smoke the Michigaa

American Butter tn Cape Colony.
The consul at Cape Town write under date
of Sept. 17:
"In my recent report on butter I called
attention to the large quantities imported into
South Africa from Australia and Denmark,
and offered advice as to the preparation and
packing of American butter. I am informed
that within the last two months from 3,000 vo
4,000 boxes (of fifty-six poucids) from America
have reached this city through London. "This
was shipped here as Australian butter, ell
the Amiarican mairks on the boxes having
been erased and Australian marks substi
tuted. BY this means all credit to the prod
ucts of the American producers ls lost, and
this action is prima facie evidence that the
American butter is now satisfactory, al
though complaint Is still made that it ia too
yelloj. . Other Shipments of butter to the
amount of several thousand pounds have been
recently received direct from America with
the American marks thereon. The absence
of the Australian government stamps on the
flrst mentioned packages attracted no
tice, and the attention of the Australian
representative in London was called to the
same, and it is stated that the matter is now
being investigated by him. There was also
a difference In the packages, the American
ones being more solid or substantial. United
States producers should have trade-marks or
brands of their own, duly registered, and,
if possible, government stamps or marks
on the packages. The demand for American
butter is from July to October, when the
Australian and Denman-k butters are not on
the market, the former occupying the market
from October to May, and the latter from
May to July, these months being the butter
miaklng seasons of the respective countries.
American producers should therefore prepare
for export in the mcwi'tjhs stated.

If all who hate would love us,
And all our love* were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue:
If cruel words were kisses. -
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while.
If purses wottld uritlfchten
To meet a brother's need.
The load we 4>ear would lighten
Above the grave. of creed.
If those who -whine would whisila.
And those who languish laugh.
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff;
If hearts were only Jolly,
If grieving _ were forgot.
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not-
Then love wauld* kneel to> duty.
And all th^ wqrtd would seem
A bridal bower cfibeauty.
A dream within a dream.
If men would cease to worry.
And women cease to sigh
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die —
If neighbor spake to neighbor,
Aa love demands of all.
The rust would eat the saber.
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every day would glisten.
And every eye would shiae, .
And God would pause, to listen.
And life would be divine.

The wheat mark*, during the closing week
of the year recorded quite an advance over
the closing quotations of Dec. 23, and not
withstanding the holidays, trading has been
exceptionally active. t
The following are the prices of the May

At the opening Tuesday morning, after
three holidays, prices were unexpectedly
strong. There was an unlocked for decreaso
in the visible supply, and commission hou3es
ha-d heavy 'buying orders. The tone of for
eign cables reflected considerable strength.
The same conc.itl-cr.__ prevailed Wednesday,
and Liverpool, as well as Paris cables indi
cated that American wheat was ln good de
mand. Simultaneously, however, rumors of
the probable outcome of the harvest in Ar
gentine were circulated by the bears. Some
of the estimates of the surplus for export
were as high as 60,000,000 bushels. The re
ports from that country during tho growth
of the plant have certainly not to3en of a
kind calculated to All the breia-st of the bear
with hope, and the sudden change of base
from gloomi to enthusiasm ought not to be
regarded with much concern, so far as the
effect on the prices here is conoerned. The
fact is, figures pertaining to yield are more
completely founded on individual guesswork
than thews- received from any other country.
Tha dismal failure cf last yeaf in tha ex
planation- of surplus at 46,000,000 bushste for
export is not forgotten hy trader*, and the
consequence was the report had no percep
tible effect upon, quotations. The scalpers
turned a few honest pennies on the strength
of the nerws, but that was all. Buying or.
ders for export account wero recognized at
every turn. Realizing salsa by bulls of the
week previous caused a little shading off,
bu'. when tbe faict beoame known that the
clearances tor foreign ports g&ve promise ot
a weekly average of about 1,000,000 bushels
per day, thero was a goneral strengthening ot
hands all arourd.
Thursday there was not much activity ln
speculative trading, but the geraerW-- ton© ot
the market was strong. Liverpool cables re
flected greater ease there, and on these there
was a momentary tendency in the
markets in Chicago and New York to
droop, but the NoTthnveatern reoedpts proved
to bo exceptionally light, and the reports
from the Nontbiweatern wheat area indicated
reiriarkably small receipts at country ele
vators,
Friday's market opened with a bulge. Tht
damand weft good, and long stocks were of
, fered freely, but prices were well euatalned,
and anything coming along was taken up at
good figures. Bulls were thus enabled to
realize profits without producing any effect
upon values. One reason for this, and per
haps the main reason Was the falling off ln
Northwestern receipts — a cofadltion naturally
consequent upon the advent oi the midlwrnter
holidays. Th«n, again, th» severe cold
weather, which interfered with country de
liveries, had It* effoct. The cables from. Eu
rope were meanwhile Indicative of strength
there.
Saturday's trading was sluggish. Liver
pool afforded ao support to prices here. But
the wtlikneas did not demoralize the holders
of long lines of stock, who showed they
were In no hurry to get out. This fa-ot
-caused prioes to strengthen and promise was
afforded of a strong opening this morning.
White tba exports continue so liberal and the
country receipts so meager, there ought not
to be any danger of marked declines; but
it ia fair to assrume that, with tha depart
ure of the- holidays and the advance in
prices, much more wheat, comparatively, will
find its way to Che market from the North
west in January than in either November
or December. While prices are not hign,
neither can they ba regarded as low; but
it is becoming more and more apparent that
foreigners are not buying as yat tor replen
ishment of stocks, to any large extent.
Just what their policy in this regard may
develop Into, the next two months inu«it de
termine. There ls no likelihood that they
will secure their supplies at mu_h lower
figures than those now prevailing, and, un
less farmers shafl, next spring, advertise to
the worfd their purposs to Increase the wheat
acreage cf tbe country during the next
crop year, prices ought to advance, not strik
ingly, but moderate;*, from thia tima onward
to the Ist of August next. The condition of
the trade today ls Wholesome, but nothing
in the way of wild flights In prices need be
anticipated.
•• • •
The Northwestern Miller, in Us issue of
last Thursday, say a:
While wheat receipts! at country points laat
week were moderate, they are expected to
be light from this on. Of course, higher
prices, were they realized, would tend to
induce fanHsrs to sell more freefy. Receipts
here will doubtless soon fall off, as they
have for some time been maintained at
large volume at the expense of stocks in
country houses. Since Nov. 1. the stock In
Minneapolis public houses has Increased
nearly 4,000,000 bushels, 1,200,000 of this hav
ing been added the past week. The stock
now ls 4,506,000 bushels, compared with
6,278,000 in 1697; 19,293,000 ln 1896, and 18,
--659,000 ln 1895.
The receipts of late have been so farge that
there was a surplus over the requirements
of millers, and this has been bought and
placed ln store by the terminal elevate*
companies.

BROOMHALL WHEAT VIEWS.
In reviewing the wheat markets the Liver
pool Corn Trade News, of Dec. 13, says: The
market evidently never believed ln tho reports
of crop damage in Argentina, r.>r ever since
they were flrst heard of, holders have been
free sellers at declining prices. We have "no
doubt in our mind but that considerable
damage has been wrought to the wheat crop
ln the northern districts of Santa Fe and
Entre Rlos by the unseasonable and severe
weather of the past fortnight, but as there is
plenty of wheat in sight all around the world,
the loss of one or two million quarters in
South America Is of no particular Importance.
Rightly or wrongly, buyers throughout the
world have got it into their heads that the
crop of wheat recently harvested Is more
than equal to any requirements that can be
placed upon It in the current season. The
following estimate of the crop after making
allowance for the ascertained abundance of
our own yield, and tho soni .what th' .retical
amplitudo of the Russian, and the deficiency
of the Roumanian-Bulgarian, may pro*, c about

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
The last week of the year did not record a
particularly lr.rgo supply of live stock at South
St. Paul. The intensely cold weather, sun
plementlng the holidays immediately associ
ated with Christmas, had the effect of post
poning shipments. The number of cars ar
riving was 119, against 159 the week previous,
a decrease of 40. The receipts of live stock
were: Cattle, 286; calves, 48; hogs, 6,371;
sheep, 54. The receipts the week previous
wero: Cattle, 286; calves, 159; hogs, 8,197;
sheep, 2,428. These figures show a decrease ln
cattle of 720; calves. 111; hogs, 1,826; sheep,
2,574.
'i'he killings by Swift & Co. during the
woek were: Cattle, 230; calves, 1; sheep, 1.728;
hogs, 7,000. Tho killings the week previous
wero: Cattle, 392; calves, 14; sheep, 603; hogs,
8,050. These figures show a decrease ln cattle
of 162; calves, 13; hogs, 1,050, and an Increase
in sheep of 1,125.
The cattle receipts were In so small num
bers and of so inferior quality as to scarcely
be worthy of mention. The few lots of fair
grades of stock offering sold proportionately
well, the steers averaging $4-40, and some
cows making the record at $3.65. These are
not high figures for either the steers or ths
cows, but quits as much as they were worth
anywhere. The poultry season reached its
climax last week, and there should be a re
vival in the demand for good stock ln this
market at once. But the supply does not
appear to be forthcoming, nor will it be
until there is an Improvement in breeding
among the Northwestern farmers, as well as
a disposition manifest to send the better
grades of stuff to this market rather than to
send them on to Chicago. There is no rea
son why South St. Paul should not become
one of the best markets in the West for the
highest grades of live stock. The past year
has shown considerable improvement over the
previous years both in the numbers received
and the quality; but there still exists a live
and practically undeveloped fleld of Industry
in Minnesota in connection with higher culti
vation of all classes of live stock.
The receipts oj hogs were fair in num
bers, considering all things, but not nearly
enough were offering to meet the demand.
Prices were strong at from 20c to 25c above
tho*- of the previous week, and thero were
proportionately the same as the figures rul
ing at Chicago.
' A feeling exists among some of the com
mission men at South St. Paul that com
petition is not as strong as it ought to be,
and that Swift & Co., as they get more firm
ly seated in the saddle, are disposed to play
the Chicago market against this, somewhat
in the same fashion as was practiced by
Shufe'-dt & Co. when they were operating
the packing plants there. This policy must
inevitably prove destructive of the interests
at South St. Paul. Of course, the local
butchers want the best terms possible, but
even these havo been brought to realize the
fact ln the past that if they are to have a
market here at all, they can only maintain
it by providing quotations which will bring
stock hither. The argument is advanced that
if the other packing plant at South St. Paul
could be tenanted an Improvement w>ull
result. This seems reasonable; but there is
no indication either that anybody wants 'ho
plant, or that the Stock Yards people really
want a tenant. While it is a well known
fact that the higher grades of beef cattle
and the best runs of hogs rarely are found
ln this market, for the reanon that the live
stock industry has been so sadly neglected in
the past few years, there is no reason why
increase in supplies and improvements in
breeding wili not be shortly In evidence. But
if the South St. Paul industries aro destined
to lapse into tho conditions prevailing a
couple of years ago, with respect to manipu
lation of prices and the throttling of competi
tion, the blame must rest with those who
have the welfare of the interest in their con
trol. A spirit of greed will vex any in
dustry Into a condition of final collapse. The
Stock Yards people should avail themselves
of some advantageous lessons supposed to
have been learned by them ln the past.
The receipts of sheep were so light as to
present no basis for the estimation of values.
Lambs sold tolerably well, but it was not a
good week for lambs or mutton. An im
provement shoufd be noticeable in this class,
however, from now on.
* * *
DECREASED DEMAND FOR STOCK CAT
TLE.
The Drovers' Journal believes that there
will be a decrease ln the demand for stock
cattle on account of higher prlcsd corn r.nd
an Increased demand for good fat cattle,
owing to the natural scarcity. In other
words, the tendency of dearer grain will be
to widen the gap in prices between feeding
e-tt'e and those cf prime marketable condi
tion. There is ouite an argument along the
sheep line. For instance, Chicago s..ieep r-3
--ceipte are 1,461,000 larger than in 1892, with
Kansas City showing a gain of nearly half
as many, with other places in proportion.
Tho people are certainly eating more mut
ton then ever before, and there is every
rea.on to believe that the consumption of
mutton will go on increasing.

TEXAS CATTLE MOVING NORTHWARD.
As already noted under this head, the
movement of Texas cattle north ls in con
siderably smaller numbers this year than
last- The ah'pmoTrts from the tiek^vrectsd
area of Texaa are about 34,000 lesy during
the federal quarantine sea-ron this year than
last, but from non-Infected area they l.tve
been a little over 12,000 greater. Of those
shipped north about 52,000 head were re
turned on account ot poor pasture, j«o that
rdilly the shortage from the Infected area
ls about 86,000. About 237,369 head were
shipped from the non-infected area during
the post season. Of these 4.378 went to
Wyoming; 11.248 te South Dakota; 3,760 to
Montana; 10,776 to Colorado; 2,974 to North
Dakota; 13,378 to Nebraska; 110,887 to Kan
sas: 7.122 to Missouri; 8.323 to Iowa; 3,863 to
Illinois, and 57.500 to Okiaifooma. It is es
timated that about 230,000 head are now in
the feed lots ln Texas on full feed, ana that
about 20.000 more will be put on fiCl feed
later ln the season. About 23,000 head of
oaives have been shipped from Western Tex
as to Kansas, Nebraska and lowa. Tho Pan
handle counties of Texas are reports to
have about as many cows and young steers
as last year, but not so many aged steers.
Western and southern Texas is much ln thi
tfaime condition. The central and nor.li.m

Business has continued good right up to

1892, heretofore the reoord bearer. Sales
have been very large, losses few and email

Sales have been on a eteady market, and
profits may not have been as large as on an
