Ths ZrfLrd Market.
' Daring tb week Just closed tbe lard
market is somewhat lower on account
: of speculation. Local lard of the various
grades la unchanged.
"The looal dressed meat markets on
Front street have been quite bare dur
ing; the week." says John Toft of Toft,
Ulna Co. "Receipts In all line have
been very small, but demand has not in
: any case been very great Pork and
beef have been In smaller receipt than
for some time previous, but the high
prevailing prices have kept the demand
down" Prices are unchanged In the
.. fresh meat line during the week.
Qimd Com and Boast Beef Down.
A decline of 10 cent a docen has Just
been made In the quotations on both
canned corn and roast beef.
Cream of tartar and curry . powder
price have been advanced from one to
three cents a pound.
Various articles of woodenware, such
as atepladders and tubs have been ad
'. vanoed about 11 a dosan.
The Srr Bltnatlon.
W. T. Turner Co. say: "Eggs have
been In much larger receipt during the
past week and the market ha been
somewhat dragging. The receipts have I
been so great that local commission men
were unable to move their stocks except
at the lowest-prevailing quotation and in
consequence prices showed a drop dur
ing tbe week. There are no Alaska
orders now in the local market to be
filled and we do not expect them to any
great extent until after the opening up
of navigation In the North."
Glafk A Co. shipped 800 cases of
. aegs this morning to Skagway. Prices
remain at. 14 and 14V cents.
Poultry Clean Up.
Although poultry receipts were much
mora liberal during the past seven days
- than they have been for several weeks
previous, tbe market la entirely cleaned
up of all surplus on account of the
extra heavy demand. Prices during the
week have been kept rather stiff and
there was no weakening at any period.
Potatoes Very OulL
. Advice from California and Arizona
tat that the potato market has gone
to piece and very few sale are being
mad at any price. The cause of the low
prevailing quotations in the Southwest
la due to the extra large crop of fairly
good stock raised in California during
the past season and it 1 not now ex
pected that quotations will show any
material advance during the prosent
season.
Bops ar Dollar.
' Hop are quoted duller in the Eastern
markets and -as a consequence there is
nothing doing la the local markets. Some
of the larger growers are becoming
alarmed over the long period of dullness
and are making desperate efforts to
unload at-about 26 and 26 cents a pound.
Local representatives of Eastern brokers
any, however, that they have no orders
on hand, and will not buy 1902 stock at
any price.
- Three cars of bananas arrived on the
treet today, but the fruit was so green
that none of it could be used.

suspicion that the Indicated loss by the
banks of $500,000 Is wide of the market
and that the real showing to be made
by the bank statement will be most fav
orable. A a result of correct lou the re
sult of discrepancies in those all cash
holding are expected to show a gain.
Any other change will be disappointing.
Observation la made that offerings of
stocks do not Increase much as prices
creep up. The consequence Is that the
short Interest which, notwithstanding
active covering early In the week, is be
lieved still to be very heavy. 1 ex
tremely nervous. This feeling, more
over. Is intensified by the reasonably
favorable earnings reported of lute by
the railroads and which are beginning
to overshadow such Influence as the
Keene-Harrlman Imbroglio and the
strikes.

CHICAGO, March 21. The Record
Herald says: So far there have been
380,000 hogs received here this month
of March, and If receipts the last week
of the month are about the same a the
first three, the total here for March will
be around 626,000 hogs, compared with
797,000 here last March, 610.000 in 1901,
and 693.000 in 1900. If these small fig
ures are realized the receipt will be
the smallest for March since 1893. In
March of that year the hogs sold as
high a $8.66. The lard reached $13.20.
The ribs $10.62 V and pork $18.67 H
In March of that year the weight of
hogs averaged 220 pounds. It looked
as if the average weight of the hog here
this month would be the lightest since
1891. The average weight the first of
this month was 211 pounds, and for- the
second week 216 pounds. The March
average last year ,was 16 pounds, and
there has been no March average as low
as that since 1892, when it was 216
pounds. The average in March, 1901, was
209 pound. Clearly enough, there is
something the matter this season with
the hog supply.
It is clear now that the two Interests
so prominent on the long side of May
corn up to last week are now long on
July and adding to their lines. Each
day of late there has been Armour buy
ing July through one set of houses, and
Cudahy buying through another. The
Wells crowd is supposed to have the
July line which it took when It sold out
the May. There now 1 about an, even i
division of sentiment on corn. No one
is apprehensive -of July manipulation,
and so the opinion divides entirely on
the question of merit at the price. Pat
ten is the conspicuous bear and 1 about
a active on the selling as the other two
leading in this are on the buying. His
Jlne, however, is not estimated a large
one. He covered July corn on a large
scale when the Armour and Cudahy sell
ing of May took place. The May liqui
dation has reduced tne July discount
notably. Early In the month July
was 3 cents under May. At one time
yesterday it was only -cent under.
The corn feature this week has been the
improvement In the low grades, the No.
4 corn up, .about 3 cents and the No. 3 j
up about 2 cents from the low points,
while the May has merely held its own.
The visible supply of wheat looks as

are inseparable from FRICTION and FRICTION
means loss of power which means Loss of Money.
Old methods do not recognize this loss as
wasteful extravagance. Present business neces
