ing accounts on both sides were generally
closed out, leaving conditions to settle mean
while. On Thursday higher cabtes Wert re
ceived, and it was sorn made apparent that a
good export de nand existed at the seaboard.
Tho cpening for the May option was VfeS'/ic
higher than the clorlng Tusdiay. Liberal re
ceipts were re-prted from Duluth and Min
neapolla, though tiie arivals at Chicago were
somewhat -hy. There was some more talk
of damage to crops, but this quite properly |
had II. tL? tff.ct. Liverpool closed strong, and I
this fact disheartened the bears, who tried 1
to nuke s; mctliing out of the news of the j
heavy snowfall ln the winter wheat area, lt I
may be said, ln passing, that, so far as win
tar wheat is concerned, it will suffer nothing 1
from ell the snow that Is likely to fall
from this time onward. What It is more in
danger of is rain and sleet, followed by
freezing weather, and this is a condition
which will be more apt to prevail during the
month of March.
Friday opened with more favorable news i
as to the childish talk about damage from j
snow, but no animation was afforded by the j
cuDles which were decidedly spiritless. There |
was a bull argument discovered in the ship- !
meats for the week from Argentina, which '
were shown to have been 1,296,000 bu, as
against 1,108,1.00, or 112.000 bu less than the j
same week last year. There was also an Im
provement in purchases for export account, !
both In New York ai:d Chicago, for delivery
ln March, and this fact had sustaining effect
on the May option.
Saturday brought nothing by cable inriica- !
tive of strength of un abiding character j
abroad. The world's shipments far the week ;
v. ere reported to' be larger than expected, tho ;
estimate being 8,000,000 bu, nearly one-half of :
which representing the United States and j
Canada. The bears began a little sale for
Scalping purposes, and prices quickly yielded |
iv the absence i f buying support. The closing
was unsteady, but with no marked signs cf !
serious weakness.
The conditions with respect to the world's
wheat market continue normal. The ele
ment of uncertainty which has been so con
spicuous for several months has uot been re- j
uewed. nor is it likely to be. The marketing 1
of the yield of wheat has been well conducted 1
with a view to preventing any heavy de- j
cllr.e. Prices would no doubt be higher, how
ever, had tin re been less liberal selling dur
ing the past two months. The fact has been
thoroughly advertised to the world that the
farmers of the United States harvested las:
year an immense crop. Th° official figures ;
have not been disputed. Of course, foreign
dealers have kept close watch upon the ex
port and consumption record. It is 1 nown j
that a large reserve exists here, upon which
the rest of the world can draw at will. Iv
these circumstances, taken together with the
easy flow of wheat to market, lt Is, In the
nature of things, a source of surprise that I
prices remain so nearly stationary?
* * *
The following is the comment by the
Northwestern Miller, ln Its issue of the 22d j
on the declines of wheat:
The comparatively large receipts here have
occasioned surprise. They are reported to be
due to arrivals of wheat which was kept back I
by the cold weather. Considerable was |
bought before the cold snap to arrive and this I
net having been received is now helping swell j
current receipts. The elevator companies
are also disposed to reduce stocks in the |
country by shipping to terminals, as there I
Is no Inducement to hold grain in country ele
vators. Farmers are represented to nave
been delivering rather more wheat of late,
though poor roads militate against large de
liveries as well as does the price.

WEATHER AND TIIE WHEAT CROP.
At Chicago the weather and crop conditions
have been the chief topic of conversation in I
wheat circles. Following the remarkably low
temperatures appeared many reports of
crop damage to autumn sown grain. Naturally
the tendency was to stimulate prices, but
operators are so accustomed to unconfirmed
reports of this character during the winter
season, that they are slow to place too
much credence on them until verified. All
well-posted people concede that it is useless
to endeavor to study crop conditions now, and
that these can only be known satisfactorily
later. The cold wave has therefore done lit
tle beyond Intensifying the uncertainty of
traders.— Orange Judd Farmer, Feb. 25.

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVE STOCK.
The general market for live stock was
very satisfactory last week, both in the way
of receipts and prices. The tendency was to
more firmness and a disposition not to allow
prices to go too low to detract from the rec
ognized importance of this point as a market
for the Northwest. While the quality of cat
tle offering showed no Improvement over
the usual run, the sales were on the whole
more satisfactory than for some time past.
The receipts at the yards during the week
were: Cars, 196; cattle. 1,984; calves, 758;
hc_s, 5,347: sheep, 9,267; horses, 42. The re
ceipts the previous week were: Cars, 174;
cattle, 1.194; calves, 407; hogs, 6,395; sheep!
7,941. These figures show a gain in cars of
22; cattle, 790; calves, 351, and a loss iv hogs
of 1,048. and in sheep of 1,326.
The killings by Swift & Co. for the week
were: Cattle. 562; calves, 84; sheep, 1,331;
hogs, 6,206. The killings the previous week
were: Cattle, 385; calves. 9; hogs, 4,982;
sheep, 1,220. These figures show an increase
ln cattle of 177; calves, 25; hogs, 1,224; sheep
111.
What the South St. Paul market wants
more than anything else Is good cattle and
not scrubs and tailings. It is urged that there
Is an abundance of good cattle tributary to
this market which might more profitably
come here than go to Chicago. Naturally
quotations cannot make a good showing in
the absence of anything as a basis therefor.
Let flrst-class stock be offered here and the
figures will be found to equal those of Chi
cago, but the culllngs from the dairy farms
of Minnesota and Wisconsin cannot be expect
ed to make a very attractive average when
daily quotations come to be prepared. If lt
is true, as alleged, that choice beef cattle
are within reach of South St Paul, it seems
strange that no effort Is put forth to Intro-

duce a few carloads. of this sort as Lenten at
tractions. The commission men are getting
lean all over from humping themselves In
trying to get rid of some of the good-natured
looking but unfortunate and worthless ani
mals who would, even if they could speak,
be ashamed to lay claim to classification as
"'beef cattle. Of course this is not a mar
ket for the prime grades for export. The
demand here is for medium weights at from
1,103 to 1 200 lbs which can be relied upon
to bring from $4.60 to $4.70, which Is quite aa
much as they could be expected to bring at
any market
There Is a good demand for stock heifers
at prices ranging between $:' and $3.50.
The following are some- cattle quotations:
Good to choice beef steers, $4.80®5; fair to
gocd, $4@4.50; gocd to choice cows and heif
i rs, $-.slKg'4: fair to good, $3S>3.*iO; mediu: ,

©3.50; milkers and springers, $30@40, and
gocd cows seling well.
The heg mark t has ben somewhat uncer- :
tain. The supply was moderately fair, and
so also was the quality. Prices have been low
but the view is held that bottom has been ;
reached and that an improvement must eiisu^ !
at an early day. These are some of the
latest quotations:
Best hogs. $3@3.72'_; bulk, $3.65; pigs, $3.20
(E3.25; rough sows, $3.25@3.40.
Sheep and lambs have been st:ady, with I

buck lambs, $3@3.75; good feeding lambs,
$4.25@4.60.

POOR QUALITY OF CATTLE.
The quality of cattle was never any poorer
at this time of year. Th.re are a good many |
cattle in the country, but there are not many
gco_ on s in sight. When Chicago can have
18.640 ' cattle one day without forty strictly
choice ones in the whole lot it doesn't look i
as if the number of good ones was large.
It is said that a good many cattle are being
forced to market by the spring moving and
changing among farmers. If only the cattle
that were ready fcr market were coming the
supply would be extremely small. Feeders
are losing money on a good many of the or
dinary cattle that are coming, — Drovers' Jour
nal.
• * •
LOSSES OF RANGE CATTLE.
The great loss of live stock on the ranges
this winter Is a factor forcing itself on the at
tention of feeders and breeders who must in
crease their h»:rd<s. The supply, which was
only moderate at the beginning of the season,
has been reduced by the severe storms.
Large amounts of Led have besn consumed
In the middle West. — Orange Judd Farmer.
GOOD SUPPLY OF LAMPS.
The proportion of lambs ln the receipts
has been so large cinee the first of the year
that buyers have had no difficulty ln keep
ing prices down to a very surprisingly low
point. Lambs are selling 40c below the first
of the year, and 60@75c below a year a-*o.
The season Is now approacshing when receipts
of lambs will be still heavier, and so pros
pects are not very flattering. The prices
of good sheep and lambs are closer together
now than ever before at this sen son of the
year, due to the comparative scarcity of one ;
and the abundance of the other. — Drovers'
Journal.

LIVE STOCK IN ILLINOIS.
The statistical report of the Illinois state
board of agriculture shows that there is a
larger number of hogs ln Illinois than at
any time since IS9I, the number reported be
ing 3,154,452. About S3 per cent of the num
ber assessed each year are marketed during
the year, which would indicate a marketing
from Illinois during IS9S of 2,618,186. The av
erage live weight of the hogs sold was 228
lbs. The supply on hand Dec. 1, 1898, was
but 87 per cent of that of the corresponding
date of 1897. Cholera was quite prevalent,
very few herds entirely escaping. The num
ber of cattle reported by assessors was also
greater than any year since 1893, the num
ber for 1898 being 1.802,061, of which number
23 per cent, or 416,873, were marketed since
May 1. 1898, at an average live weight of
1,101 lbs. The supply Dec. 1, 1898, as com
pared with Dec. 1. 1897, is 90 per cent. Of
disease there has been some due to eating
moldy corn, and some cases cf so-called
"pink-eye," with a few cases of lumpy jaw.
The number of dairy cows is placed at 626,
--488. There Is a slight increase in sheep, 664,
--292 being reported, of which 22 per cent have
been marketed at an average weight of 102
lbs. There has been very little disease among
sheep. Fewer horses were assessed in IS9S
than in 1897 by 20,000. the number reported
being 920,563. The number of colts foaled in I
1897 Is placed at 67,740. There has been some
distemper, and a .good many horses in the ]
southern division of the state have died j
from the effects of eating moldy and musty
corn. — lowa Homestead.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.
Receipts of cattle at Chicago last week were
44,000, as against 47,400 the week previous,
being a decrease of 3,400. The same week las:
year the receipts were 47,082. A decrease this
year of 3,082 is thus apparent.
Receipts of hogs were 135.000. The preced
ing week the numbers were 199,793. The de

SOUTH ST. PAUL HORSE MARKET.
George W. Wentworth, of the South St.
Paul Horse exchange, makes the following re
port:
The horse market showed some improve
ment over last week on all classes. Horses
of good flesh and appearance sell very readily
at satisfactory prices, especially farm mares
and chunks. We have a large assortment on
hand with another consignment coming the
first of the week.

MIDWAY HORSE MARKET.
Barrett & Zimmerman's report: Market was
well attended by Manitoba, Dakota aud local
dealers the past week. Trade satisfactory
with the current quotation of prices. Farm
mares and mules were principally the kind
disposed of. Heavy drafters and drivers were
soid more on retail basis.
The aggregate sales the past week were the
largest of the season, and far ln excess of
the corresponding week of last year. This
indication warrants a large trade in horses
this spring, and will prepare to meet all de
mands. The nominal value of serviceable
sound horses from 4 to 8 years was as fol
lows:
Drafters, choice to extra $90 to $130
Drafters, common to good 65 to 80
Farm horses, choice to extra 75 to 110
Farm horses, common to good 50 to 76
Mules, 1,250 lbs 75 to 100
DEMAND FOR HORSES BY FARMERS.
A feature of the horse mraket that is cre
ating much comment is the unprecedented de
mand from farmers for horses suitable for
farm work. This Is the eclTo of the depres
sion when breeding was well nigh aban
doned on the farm. A strong call for farm
horses comes from some of the districts that
were once famous for their production of
horse sitock. Prices paid by farmers ln some
instances are around $100, but most of them
are content with a cheaper grade. This cash
outlay should afford many a farmer the
theme for earnest meditation as to the wis
dom of his course ln abandoning the breeding
of horses that could have been largly raised
on pasture and the roughage of his farm and
have been ready for the work that musE now
be done.— Breeders' Gazette.

ST. PAUL PRODUCE.
The demand for butter has been steady,
with good demand for fancy creameries. The
receipts have kept very even pace with the
calls of trade, so that fluctuations were
slight. There is a normal demand for lower
grades without any noticeable change in quo
tations.
The egg market has been very strong, espe
cially for distinctively fresh stock, the hens
being somewhat stubborn la the matter of
laying during cold weather. Everything of
fered was taken on sight, but the receipts
were meager. The trade Is mostly confln d
to retailers, shipping orders being at a stand
still.
Th.re is a continued good demand for
dressed poultry, and supplies are light. The
call is chiefly for turkeys and chicken^.

DESTRUCTION J")F ORANGE CROP.
The phenomenally .cold wave which has
recently covered almost the entire country
causes apprehension among Irult growers.
With killing frosts as far Soulh as Middle
Florida and the ganger point in temp3rature
passed so far as peach buds are concerned,
grave fears are entertained lest serious harm
has come to orchards. The manner in which
tree fruits emerge from this very cold and
stcrmy weather will be watched with keenest
interest. Press dispatches say snow covered
all of Florida as far south as Tampa and St.
Augustine at the opening of last week, vege
tables generally killed, difficult to estimate
damage done to orange groves, but prospects
for coining crop poor In a large part of the
orange belt. The cold snap was instrumental
in causing sharp, even though temporary,
advances in butter and eggs. The zero weath
er has greatly Increased the hazard of han
dling perishable stuff. In the far West seri
ous losses are reported in live stock. Truly,
"as the days begin to lengthen, then the
cold begins to strengthen."— Orange Judd
Farmer.

COST OF MAKING BUTTER.
The cost of a pound of butter will depend
on many things, but it is usually estimated
at from 10c to 19c per lb. The butter pro
duced at the world's fair dairy test cost 12% c
per lb. The Minnesota experiment station
after careful and economical tests say they
produce their butter at 10c per lb.— Orange
Judd Farmer.
PaaHed Life in Sewers.
Birmingham .Is on the eve of losing one
of the most remarkable public officers the
city has ever had. His name is Grubb, and
he has spent nearly fifty years in exploring
the sewers, good, bad and indifferent, most
of them indifferent. On an average Grubb
has trudged through six or seven miles of
sewers each day, and reckons that his total
tramp is close upon 100,030 miles. Outside
this unique performance, however, his car
eer has been a notable one. There is, per
haps, no other man in the world who could
spend so long a period under circumstances
so unhealthy and say that he has never had
a day's illness.
