nhd May oats a Hliadc lower. Provisions atthe close were 2',4'(7',4c depressed from Sat-

urday.May wheat opened lie over Saturday at

fMiW.ke, encouraged by higher cables. Tradofor a few minutes was moderately active.The export orders which had been hopedfor by reason of tho llrmer foreign mar-ho- ts

failed to materialize, however, and thomarket turned easy, giving much considera-tion to tho largo world'H shipments, thoheavy Increase on passage nnd tho favor-able crop reports. May early relapsed tottif?5?c, where It clung for somo time,ready, however, to topple over still fur-

ther. Holders tlnally crow weary of wait-ing for suirport that never camo and nboutnoon began selling and tho price tumbled,May declining to tSlir. The close was weak,May c under Saturday at (wic. Tho cashbusiness was slack, which had Its effect onfutures. Atlantic and gulf iort clearancesIn wheat and Hour wero cuuul to IIO.CkjO bu.New York reported 10 loads taken for ex-port. 1'rlmary receipts wero 921,000 bu.,against W2, bu. last year.

The corn market was heavy, but closedfairly steady. The opening was llrm withwheat and on light country offerings, butthe market broke early In sympathy withthe dip In wheat. At tho decline there wassulllclent covering by shorts to have astead vlug effect. They wero influenced con-siderably by reports that roads In someparts of the corn belt wero In such a badcondition as to check the movement en-tirely. Havo for somo animation early tradewas dull, ltrcclpts were 7P. cars. 185 carsover the estimate. May sold from .HHftSt-'H-

to .1le and closed He down at 3I4CTho selling of oats was better than tho

buying, the latter being scattered, whileIn tho former tho elevators were almosta unit. It was a small market, however.May ranging from 23!c to 23V and closinga shade down at 23c. Itecelpts hero wero354 cars, 1H cars over tho estimate,

Tho provisions market was dull and weak.There was some demand from Englishhouses, but It wns Insulllclent to hold up thoprloe. Outslilo Interests u well ns localtraders were sellers. Tho opening was llrm,because of higher prices at the yards nndreceipts of hogs under tho estimate, butthrso Influences wero short-live- d in the faceof the poor demand, May pork ranged frotnJ10.07'4 to J10.D7V!! and closed 7!c down at$10.57ji; Mny lord, from J5.90 to K.SG, clos-ing 2!jc depressed at $3.W. nnd May ribs,from $.SS to $3.77'.45(5.S0, with tho close 6cdown at Jj.&O.

NEW YORK. .March In thestock market continued to be largely di-

verted to the feverish and excited fluctua-tions of 11 small number of stocks. Manipu-lation by the bears was largely responsiblefor the changes. In the caso of Sugar theoperations of tho professional traders werointerrupted by the unexpected action of thedirectors In declaring a quarterly dividendof 114 per cent on the common stock. Thissudden tearing aside of the veil of mysteryrather nonplussed thetrader, who bad counted on n period of un-certainty until Wedncrdny In which to cir-culate vague tips nnd keep up nil excitedfluctuation In the stock, with opportunitiesfor proflt both up and down. Tno cuttingin half of the dividend wns nboitt whatWall street seiltlment had settled upon, butcoming suddenly upon the bold executedplans of the speculative contingent It leftthem nil nt sea.

Tho stock opened under pressure, butnftcr falling nearly 2 points encounteredvigorous support nnd was rallied to 10514by noon, A 2,000-shar- o lot was taken ntthat price when the news beenme known ofthe dividend nctlon. Enormous selling forboth accounts Immediately followed and thoprice slumped by wide breaks, with occa-sional spasmodic rallies to 97, Fluctuationswero wild on the recovery to par. Theflood of offerings prevented the rise nbovothat, but on tho reaction to 9S largo buyingwns In evidence again, which rallied it toKH4. where It closed, with n little los.--t of1?. In tho half hour after midday transac-tions in this single stock reached tho enor-mous aggregate of 62,000 shares. Therowero sharp breaks In Tobacco nnd Ten-nessee Coal at tlio same time with theslump In Sugar, but the general marketwas not affected. In fact the stock marketgave evidence of Its relief over the settle-ment of this disturbing question h a smartrally, many of tho railroads rising to thebest prlco of the day. The market wasagain unsettled In the late dealings by annttnek on Steel Hoop, People's (las andConsolidated Qas, driving them down 3 to1 points. New York Central reacted l'i,but otherwise tho railroad list was littleaffected and retnlned 11 fair sprinkling ofnet gains. Third Avenue, uftcr linvlng risento 6S',i, wns forced down In 51 in the laindenllngs, and Tennessee Coal also yieldedto pressure.

sils clean and bright. Rcmovo the milkfiom the fitablo as soon as drawn, and coolat once. Uo not mix fresh, warm milk with

that which hBB been cooled. Give tho cowsonly good, wholesome food and pure water.Never add anything to milk to provent Itssouring; cleanliness and cold aro tho onlypreiervatlvo needed. Milk regularly,quickly, quietly and thoroughly. Always

treat tho cows kindly and never oxclto themby loud talking, hard driving or abuse ofany kind,

mllk-glv- la being made by M. J. Crepln of

Pnrla. Ho has established a model goatdairy, and has obtained very satisfactoryntock by crossing tho best native goats withthe Nubian buck, the latter being vigorous,Indifferent to cold nnd hornleas. Goat'smilk is richer in raselne and more digesti-

ble than cow's milk. In composition It Ismoro nearly like the milk of the human)mother than any other, nnd It hag tho ad-

vantage of being comparatively freo fromrisk of Infection, the goat being seldomaffected with tuberculosis and other danger-ous maladies. The butter, like the cheean.Id found to bo remarkably good.

Totals 1,832 1,381 6,f0lCATTLE It was a hard day on both

cattlo and men the storm made tho cattlolook their worst nnd tho prices madesellers feel their worst. All tho morningthere wns a steady fall of sleet nnd rainand the cattle presented anything but nnnttractlvo appearance. At the sumo timethere were quite a good many on sale andbuyers wero feeling decidedly benrlph. Ad-vices and prospects from eastern marketswere none too good nnd that fact did nothelp matter any. Tho result was thatvalue. were lower all along the line.

Holders of cornfed cattle as n rule re-

ported the market ns 10c lower and thetrado was verv dull nnd slow. Buyer?were late In getlng out nnd did not appearto be In any hurry to do business. It waslate befote anything like a clearance waseffected. Today's decline wiped out themot of tho gain made the early jtart oflast week, so that the market is not verymuch higher thun It was the low timeweek before last.

Cows nnd heifers were also slow nndgenerally 10c lower, though In some euessellers wero reporting that buyers took offeven moro than that. The cow murkct Isnow Just about as low as it has been anytlmo since the first of the year. The bullmnrket wns nleo slow and generally alittle lower, both fat bulls and stockers.

There were a few stockers and feedersIn tho yards and while sellers In some caneshappened to be fortunate In finding buyerswho Just happened to want a few head thegeneral mnrket was very e'.ow nnd weak.Speculators had a good many cattle onhnnd nnd in consequence were not anxiousto take on many moro until there shouldbo n better country demand. The wentheralso was very much against there beingmuoh trading in feeders. In some casessellers complained that they had prettygood cattle, on which It was difficult to getany one to bid. In the end, however, themost of tho cattle changed hand?. Repre-sentative sales:

.Some LcswntiM In Cnttle Feeding;,IM. Allen, mnnager of (he Standard

Cattle company nt Ames, Neb., prepared apaper on tho subject, "Some Leesons In Cat-

tlo Feeding," which wns read nt the CentralShorthorn Breeders' nrwjclntlon meeting atKansas City. Following Is nn extract;

"As I look back over nn experience offourteen years In feeding cnttle In Nebraska

engaging In the bttslnceo a yenr or soafter several Wyoming companies had mnilan first beginning n few polnls in contro-versy at that time nppe.ir fairly well Fet-

tled. It Is perhaps curious that Womlnamen should havo nttetnptcd to hulld bnrnfor feeding cattlo or to cook food, the plnnfor rooking food being really responsiblefor the construction of barns,

"Cattle fed In clooo confinement do notmnkn largo gains, and It requires a longtime to fatten them, so that It should onlybe practiced where the waste of foiiioproduct from a factory may be fed. It wnsIn search of this wnste product that I waIrd to attempt to secure a beet factory, be-lieving that I could feed young cattlo

in tho bam on pulp. Now thatwo havo secured our factory, however, wohavo fixed up our barn for sheep, nnd thochapter of our experience, In barn fredltinof cnttle In closed.

"My experience In cattle feeding up to thpresent tlmo has been nltuojt entirely withthat portion of our annual shipments olsteers nnd spayed heifers from our westernranches thnt did not get fat, and tho oldcowa or dry cowo taken from tho herd everyyenr becniifo It was probably that thejwould no longer bo useful as breeding cowa.I havo never made such gains In my experi-ence as I frequently hoar of In dlscucslomof gains with acquaintances or feeders Ihappen lo meet. We atwnys figure thegains from tho net weight of the cattlo onarrival nt Ames, at which tlmo they amweighed up nftcr feeding and watering asthey would get at mnrkct getting a betterfill, In fact, than they would nt market, andtho final Chicago weights.

"list year the net gain of 6.657 cattlo was303 pounds, nftcr 11 feeding period of 222dnye, which Is tho largest in our experience.Tho length , our feeding period varies verygicatly, being determined by taking the dif-

ference between tho average date of arrivalof tho cattlo at Ames, which rakes placoduring n period of four or five months. Wodo not know how long nny particular cnt-ll- o

nre 011 tho farm. Tho feeding periodnvcrages from ISO to 215 days, this periodlast year being a littio longer than tho nvcrage.

"Wo do not pretend to try to get our cat-tlo on full feed till January, tho entirenutumn season which ns n rulo Is ex-

tremely pleasant and mild in our locnlltynbeing occupied in a preliminary feed.

"Our Htccrs havo averaged 4 nnd 0 yeanold at tlmo of putting on feed, nnd, beliithnt portion cf our herd which failed tgot fat on the range, havo naturally been,generally speaking, the worst end of thannual output as to quality. From CO to 7!per cent of nl lot our cattle hnvo been Texassteers. As far as I know our customs andpractices in cattlo feeding havo beenJudicious, though doubtless not perlect, AYo

have always had tho advantngo of makinga careful selection of cattle for shipment,which has secured us a high prlco for thoquality of cattle wo havo fattened, and ourexperienco hns been a pretty fnlr test of alargo business In fattening western nndTexan slrera nt one tolnt. There aro lossesof'cccncmy In such a buslnesn which nrounavoidable nnd after fourteen years' ex-

perience we are now entering n new period."In the first place we have retired from

range business entirely and nro now feedingout nbout tho last of our rango cattle. WeNare building up a cattle breeding ranch Inwestern Nebraska, where I expect to breedcarefully, removing the steers to Ames tofeed In September of their second year.

"The qunllty of cattle is the most impor-tant element In economy ot beef making andthis we wero never able to control In a oatls-fncto- ry

mensuro In the cattlo business; first,becauso everybody's cattle were mixed upnnd we could not breed with precision, and,next, because breeding became too hazardousIn Wyoming uudcr nny circumstances nndwe drifted Into a' Texas steer business. Inthree different masons, 1S94, 1895 nnd 189C, Ibrought up to AVyomlng somo Importationsof young Texas heifers, slnco we wero spay-ing nil our own femalo calves. Thesoformed a large proportion of the remnantof cows removed from AVyoming in 1898, nowforming our herd in western Nebraska.

"For a number of years I had bought Here-ford and Shorthorn bulls In nbout ovennumbers, hut I Judged It best In removingto Nebraska to confine ourselves to Short-horn hulls. I am therefore now buying onlyShorthorn bulls nnd shall permit our Here-ford bulls to die out. though of caurso ourherd Is very Inrgely marked with Horcford.,
