The run st the yarda yesterday was small
and trade waa accordingly quiet. The mar
ket continued firm for all claeee of stock.
The sales recorded during - the day war
within the former range of prices.
Commenting on the hog market during
the week, the Livestock Reporter aaya:
"Puset Sound had buyers In the hog pena
aa well aa in the cattle dlvlalon. and thia
fact demonstratea how keenly the pork
famine haa become. All the Seattle and
Tacoma packers have been Importing swine
from MidJIe Western lnt. but with rec-ord-brektng
price ruling on U th Et
ern markata. Importation at thl time
would coet them cloae to W f. o. h. Coaat
points. Herein Ilea opportunity for -the
Northweatern awlne growers. Every raiser
who had foresight to stork up on pigs a
year ago when the market waa low now
baa the advantage of the "other fellow.'
for eight-rent hoga are world-beating dividend-payers
If msrketed right at the right

weekly review of trade tomorrow will aay:
The growth of bueinea confidence, which
le plainly In evldeure. may be greater than
the growth In buslnea activity, bnt the
latter steadily Incrcaaea. and. moreover. 1
supported by rubetantlal contribution to the
oundnea of general conditions.
The better sentiment prevailing In moat
of the market I clearly revealed In th
report which come from the different sec
tions of the country and notably from the
leading centers of the West and South. It
Is accentuated by constantly Improving con
dlttons making for good crops, by th
steady expanalon In the principal tradee
and by the removal, one by one. of causes
of uncertainty.
It la significant that while tho number
of commercial failure during th first tjusr,
ter of the yer largo there was plain
proof of expanding lnveatment and a nota
ble Increase In the output of new securities
and short term notes In the same period.
The forward movement In iron and steel
Is Illustrated by a pronounced gain In th
output of pig Iron during March. New
business la at a gratifying pace. Produc
tion of finished material continue at a
good rate with eome atrengthenlng In th
quotations of several lines Tin mills are
buster and tbl demand for sheet ha broad
ened, while the market for plates, struc
tural material and ateel bar ha Improved.
In woolen good there la a broad dla
trlbntlon of staple producta. 8everal ad
vance ware made In overcoating nd
worsted suitings. Both woolen and cotton
yam are very firm and silks for Fall are
being ordered In a moderate .way.
The leather trade continues to Increase In
activity and prices rule decidedly strong on
all varieties, and eapeclally so on sol and
belting leather. Trade In domeatlc packer
hldee la rather moderate, and prices on moat
varieties are firm. .
BETTKK FEKLI"G IS IN EVIDEXCK
Larger Line of Wholesale and Retail Trade
Hlaow Improvement.
EW TORK. April 5. Bradatreef to
morrow will say :
While good and bad condition conspire
to give n Irregular apeparance to trade,
there la an undeniably better feeling in evi
dence In the larger, line of wholesale and
retail trade, except In the sections Imme
diately affected by unfavorable happenings.
Oood features are the arrival of fairly
aettled Spring weather at many point, th
appearance of hitherto belated Easier de
msnd at retail, further Improvement In Iron
and ateel and the aettlement of mini labor
disputes In the textile and other trade by
the granting of higher wage. On the other
hand, the Influence of th heavy rainfall
and the melting of nowg In th valley
of m.ait Western river ha resulted in
widespread damag from flood and fear
of further Injury, the exceaa of molaturo
In the oll delaying crop preparation and
planting North and 8outh. The Idleness
of nearly 400.000 coal miner tend to re
strict seasonal aetlvltle. transportation and
buying In th eectlon affected. A survey
of the entire situation leaves much to b
desired, but It might be observed that poli
tical and tariff unc-rtafhty I not so prom
inently Instanced as a disturbing element.
Activity In and higher prices for pig Iron.
Increased output, better prices for plates
and structural shape. Indication of a
broader demand for finished material and
expectation of heavy buying of railway
car feature the iron and ateel markets.
Copper has moved up to 16 cent, but busi
ness Is quiet and apparently discouraged
by the rapid advance in prices

FRAUD CHARGES DROPPED
Indictments Kctnrned Throe Years
Ago Finally Dismissed.
Six years afro, when Special Prose
cutor Heney was conductingr land fraud
Investigations In this district, an in
dictment wa returned by the I'nited
States Brand Jury against the fallow
ing; persons on a charge of consplrlnp
to defraud the Oorernment of public
lands: F. W. Gilchrist. Ralph E. Gil
christ, Patrick Gulllgran. James G. Mac
Pherson, Heman V. ptone. Edmund
Doriran. Francis J. Pevlne, John Joseph
Collins. Charles M. Klklns. John Combs,

hi. Sohlierhola, J. V. Hopkins, W. W.
Brown. Edward N. White. Thomas N.
M'atkins and several others. whose
names were not obtainable by th grand
Jury.
This Is as far as the indictments ever
jrot, as the cases were not backed by
any substantial testimony, the defend
ants being released on their own ree
ofrnigance or on nominal ball. Three
years ago United States District At
torney McCourt suggested to the De
partment of Justice that there was no
testimony to sustain the indictments
and that they should be dismissed. At
this sucgestion the Departments of the
Interior and JuHtlce have taken three
years to find that the indictments had
been returned without sufficient evi
dence and with too much haste. With
this authority, the indictments have
been dismissed and the cases stricken
from the roll of the United States Dis
trict Court.
NATIONAL SHOOT IS OFF
Luck of Appropriation Causes Can
cellation of Contests.
Members of the Oregon National
Guard will be disappointed to learn
that there is to be no National rifle
competition this year. This Informa
tion was contained in a letter received
by Adjutant-General Flnzer yesterday
from Brigadier-General R. K. Evans,
Chief of the Division of Militia Affairs,
for the Chief of Staff. This actionals
due to the fact that the War Depart
ment has no funds for the purpose, that
the changes In station of troops In the
Philippines are more numerous this
year, and also due to the condition of
affairs on the Mexican border. General
Kvans learned that there were no Na
tional or state appropriations for this
rifle competition in the various states,
with whose guard officers he conferred,
to permit state troops to hold such a
meet this year. General Evans" letter
Is in part as follows:
The Secretary of War after mature con-
trieeetion hna found it lmDr&CtlcablO for
I the & rmv to take anv rart In the National
! match thia year, either by sending teams or
I by furnlahing markers, scorers, etc. The
! demands upon the military establishment
will prove so great during the coming year
1 as to make this course Imperative. Station
ehaneea are taking place between the
troopa In thl country and the Philippines,
troopa are required at th aeveral maneuver
camps and a large force I needed for duty
along the Mexican border.
