Hos The receipts of hogs to-day ere smaller than a week ago and a ytar ago. but considered a very fair average for this time in the year. As usual on Monday a complete variety was not represented and it was Impossible to determine the true condition of the market for all kinds by actual sales, but there were enough of each kind that dealers could make a fair comparison in prices. There was very little demand from outside source?, in fact not enough to be of any advantage whatever to salesmen, and local packers be4ng alone they naturally were rather indifferent and it required as much time to dispose of the small supply as it ordiaarily dots to sell a much larger number. The bidding was Irregular, but finally buyt-rs and sellers compromised on a decline of fully 5c compared with Saturday, and a good clearance was made. It i3 possible that in extreme cases sales were 10c lower than the hish time Saturday morning, but all dealers decided that an average decline of a big 5c compared with Saturday's average would be a conservative and fair estimate. Sales ranged from $4-&ö4.80 and the bulk of the upply sold at J4.7o31.73, there being quite a scarcity of prime heavy hogs.

Cattle Receipts 250 Altogether the receipts of cattle to-day were a little larger than a week ago, but 150 smaller than a year ago. The receipts included a few loads billed through, which left the number on sale no better than the average at this time in the week. In fact the supply was not large enough to encourage competition between buyers and for that reason salesmen had come difficulty in developing the true condition of affairs. There was not enough of any kind to establish a range in prices, but auch as were here were fair to medium in quality and condition and most dealers quoted prices steady to strong compared with those prevailing at the close of last week. Ordinarily reports from other places this morning might have caused a stronger market here, but the fact that values prevailing at the close of last week were relatively higher than at other markets prevented any quotable Improvement to-day. Local packers as well as shippers were in the market and a prompt clearance was made at current prices. Sales included fat iteers averaging 1.100 pounds at 11.60, with 684gi.041-tt. feeders at 14'a$4.40; heifers at t-LoSi; cows at J3.1W4.2ä; bulls at $3.25 C3.50. and calves at $4'&6.

It was the general opinion of salesmen as well as buyers, however, that tho offerings sold steady as compared with prices prevailing for the came kinds at the extreme close of last week.

The official receipts last week show an increase of 10,553 hogs, 450 cattle and a decrease of 95 sheep compared with the preceding week, and an Increase of 6.SIG hogs, S3 cattle and a decrease of 234 sheep compared with the corresponding week a year ago. The cattle market was steady to strong to-day compared with the close of last week, sheep and lambs were quotably steady, and the hog market was quiet at unevenly lower prices. 4- e The receipts of stock in April showed a total of about 85,000 hogs, 17,500 cattle and 2,100 sheep, and the shipments were 27,000 hogs, 5,500 cattle and 1.000 sheep, leaving a balance of W.OuO hogs. 12.000 cattle and 1.100 sheep consumed by local packers and butchers. The largest receipts in a single day were, of hogs 6.272. cattle 1.2S0 and sheep 2S6. and the largest shipments in a single day were of hogs 2,191, cattle 5D6 and Fheep 470. About 1.50) more cattle were received last month than in March, and there was a fair improvement over the same month a year ago. The receipts were fairlj- liberal for this season of the year, and the quality and condition of the offerings were probably more satisfactory from the killers' standpoint than usual in April. The receipts the first three weeks of the month were evenly distributed, and. in fact, this Is true of the receipts throughout the month. The supplies at no time were excessive, but, as uual. at different times

there were rather more of certain kinds than necessary for the immediate requirements of buyers. t The receipts of hogs in April were about 22.000 larger than March; and 12,000 larger than the same month a year ago. The receipts were the heaviest the first, third and fourth weeks, and the largest the last week of the month. The quality and condition or current offerings at the beginning of the month were fairly satisfactory, but subsequently there was quite a scarcity of selected hog?, and fit the close of the month practically all the consignments were mixed grades. The average weight for the month was the same as in March. 6 lbs lighter than in February, and S lbs lighter than January, and the average cost was 33c le?s than March. 9c less than February, and lie more than January. he average cost for each hog was 7ic less than March, Sc le.s than February, and 10c less than January. 4- 4- 4The receipts of sheep and lambs In April were over 6 smaller than March, and just about half as large as the same month last year. There were not enough sheep on any one day last month to establish an extreme range Jn prices for any grade, and only occasionally were there enough of all kinds to show th condition of the market by actual ales. Most of the month local butchers had some difficulty in getting enough to meet their requirements, and whenever they were taken out of the market the supplies were taken by shippers. The tendency in values was gradually toward a higher level, and at the close of the month both sheep and lambs were selling at least f-oc hiyher than the opening of the month.

TROUBLE IS ANTICIPATED

LACK OF HARMONY I1ETWEEX OWN. EHS OF 1 HE PEUE 3f A II f i U ETTE. Ynnderhilt Lines 3 lay Abolish Sunday Excursion .Many Lake Ports Overstocked with Coal. It Is said that there will be something doinjr in Boston to-morrow when the newly-elected board of directors of the Fere Marquette meets for organization. It has been understood for some time that there is a lack of harmony in the official family of that road, the forces being divided between what is known as the Prince and Carpenter factions. In the minds of some people there is a question whether President Prince now has a following strong enough to Insure his re-election; if this is true, it is assumed that the former president, Mr. Crapo, will be returned to his old position. The Crapo interest (in itself) in the property is said to be small, but there are outside influences that may be brought to bear on the situation. Mr. Crapo's father U the manager of the Hetty Green estate, said to be valued at $0,0uO,000, and it is suggested that the richest woman in the United States may be induced to back up the Crapo interest with some of her wealth; at any rate, the outcome of the Pere Marquette meeting- will be awaited with more than ordinary interest. Port Stocked with Coal. Unless lake navigation opens very soon some of the largest coal operators will be compelled to meet heavy demurrage charges and many of the lake ports and yards will remain congested with freight. It was reported on Saturday that several lines acting conservatively have issued embargoes on lake coal, but this proves to have been incorrect. Conditions exist which practically enforce embaigoes, and the operators and railroads alike are studying a trying proposition. The trouble seems to hinge around the failure of vessel owners to agree with the masters and pilots as to wages, and as a result of the contention thousands of carloads of coal ore now ready to be unloaded at various ports and as many more are held in transit. The railroads are not saying whether or not they have cars, but they are saying very emphatically that they will not furnish equipment for lake coal until the congestion clears and navigation opens. The companies that do not own their own cars and have gene into the lake business pretty freely .'ire daily accumulating demurrage charges. The charge is $1 per day per car and it remains to be seen whether the railroads will insist on such payment. Until the vessel owners unload the accumulated coal at the ports conditions will remain the same, and it is said that several weeks will now be required to relieve the railroads. These are drawbacks that no one anticipated, and so deep in the mire" have the roads fallen that it is affecting other lines of traffic Can Duild a Lou-Grude Line. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court yesterday, in a decision Written by Chief Justice Mills, holds that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by its act of incorporation, is authorized to make "such lateral railroads or branches leading from the main line to such convenient place or points in either of the counties in or through which the main-line may pass as the president or board of directors may deem advantageous and suited to promote the convenience of the inhabitants thereof and the interests of the 6ald company." The decision dissolves an injunction granted by tho Chester county Circuit Court, which restrained the railroad from constructing a low-grade branch line from the main line at Paoll to Thorndale, Chester county. Under the Supreme Court decision the railroad company is now permitted to finish the construction of a lowgrade freight line from Pittsburg to Philadelphia. Personal, Local and General Notes. The Tanhandle yesterday opened five miles additional double track between Xenia, O., and Wilberforce. "West-bound freight business is very heavy. Last week the Lake Shore broke all records, moving west in one day 1,505 cars. The Lackawanna is broadening its scope for business and has appointed E. II. Eden commercial agent of the company at Minneapolis. C. II. Cory, superintendent of motive power of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, was In the city, yesterday on his way to St. Louis. W. A. Nettleton, who has been appointed superintendent of motive power of the 'Frisco line, assumed the duties of the position, yesterday. Bert Sellers, pasenger agent of the Lake Erie & Western at this point, is much Improved in health, but will not attempt to resume service until June 1. Expenses of the Wabash for March were so heavy that its net earnings were but $216,758, against $460.143 in March, 1903, a decrease this year of $243,395. Benjamin McKeen, general manager of the Vandalia, was in the city yesterday, in conference with Receiver Malott concerning the St. , Louis train service. On Sunday a special train over the Big Four made the run from Cleveland to Cincinnati in less than seven hours, including a stop of half an hour at Columbus. railroad official says that In comparing railroad earnings for March this year it should be remembered that March, 1904, contained hut four Sundays, against five in March, 1903, and this should give March, I'.C Res.

1904, earnings an apparent advantage of about 3la Pr ctnt. over those of March, 1903. Edmund Smith has been appointed inspector of the Pennsylvania Company to go to Detroit and inspect the construction, of 2,000 freight cars which are being built there for the company. The Vandalia will have its .block signal service in operation between St. Louis and Indianapolis probably by May 13. On a considerable portion of the line the trains are now handled by the block signal service. The shops of the Panhandle, a majority of which worked but rive hours a day last week, will at once resume full time. The reduction in hours was made in order that expenditures might be kept within the appropriation. The "Wabash shopmen and other employes have decided to make their annual excursion to Detroit in June. J. W. Conroy, of Peru, has been selected chairman of the committee of arrangements, and will select his assistants this week. J. R. Veitch, who represents the passenger department of the Iowa Central, has been transferred to Pittsburg, and C. R. O'Donnell, of Duluth. succeeds him at Indianapolis. Mr. O'Connell will also represent the Minneapolis & St. Louis. The new special train put on by the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and the "Wabash, made its first trip yesterday, and carried about thirty people. At night the sleeper run between Cincinnati and St. Louis was said to be well occupied. AV. II. Fisher, general passenger auent of the Hocking Valley road, passed through the city last night on his way to St. Louis, where he will spend a couple of days and then go to Crockett, Tex., in company with his brother, and spend a week. George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central, has recovered from his recent illness, and was expected at his desk yesterday. The announcement of his early recovery will bo welcome news to transportation circles all over the country. Western and Northwestern lines have granted the request for return transportation to live-stock shippers, effective May 2. This is the result of a conference between a committee from the National Live Stock Association and the general - traffic managers of Western lines held in Chicago on Feb. 23. Sunday, May J13. the Pennsylvania will put on a new fast train between Toledo and New York to be known as the "New York Special." Passengers lcavini? Toledo at 1:15 p. m. will reach, New York at 8:15 the following morning. Baltimore at 7:15 a. m., Washington at 8:30 a. m., and Philadelphia at 7 a. m. John Harrahari. grand chief of, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, will this week meet General Manager Smith, of the New York Central, and discuss matters of interest to that branch of service. There are said to be no conditions, according to the men, which cannot be readily remedied. One of the busiest passenger men in the country for the next two months, at least, will be Warren J. Lynch, geueral passenger agent of the Big Four line. The travel the road is already handling to St. Iy?ui3 taxes the facilities of the company, and as the traffic increases additional trains will be needed. O. P, Mccarty, general passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, is proud of the message sent from St. Louis by his royal Highness, Prince Pu Lun. announcing the safe arrivel of his party at St. Louis and presenting his compliments for courtesies shown him by employes while en route. President Cassatt tells his friends that not only will the. forthcoming Pennsylvania dividends be at the rate of 6 per cent., but he can see no reason why the road should not continue this rate Indefinitely. This undoubtedly is done to give the bears less ground for bearing the market for Pennsylvania securities. W. W. Smart, chief clerk to Superintendent Bailey has resigned his position, to take effect May 15. and R. 13. Patten, of the Big Four freight house in Columbus, will be his successor. He is a brother of W. B. Patten, formerly chief clerk to Mr. Bailey, who is now freight agent of the Big Four at Columbus. The Pennsylvania announces that, beginning May 15, the Pennsylvania special running between Cincinnati, Columbus and New York, will be an independent train eat of Pittsburg. The new arrangement will avoid delay at Pittsburg and give better service between St. Louis, Indlanapo- $, Columbus and Ntw York. A. R. Ebi has been appointed freight traffic manager of the John Deere Plow Company. He will have charge of all their business at Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha. Dallas. New Orleans, Portland, Minneapolis and San Francisco. All matters relating to the freight service will be looked after by his department. General Manager W. W. Atterbury, of the Pennsylvania, on Friday made a personal inspection of the station at Harrisburg, which was damaged by fire Tuesday night. Mr. Atterbury decided at once to rebuild the station in the form it was built in 1SS7, and the material for reconstruction was ordered delivered at the earliest moment. Frederick C. Salter has not taken service with the Canadian Pacific, as was recentlyreported, but has decided to go to Europe to represent the Grand Trunk as its European traffic aent. For some months past he has been visiting in Europe, and returned quite recently, but expects to sail next week to England to take up his new duties. The Clover Leaf last week received eight elegant seventy-foot upholstered palace cars, finished in mahogany, which are to be a part of the nw equipment that is to be used on that line during the world's fair. The company will put on an additional train between Toledo and St. Iuis, and these cars will be put in service on this train. .One of the Pennsylvania's first world's fair trains will carry 1(0 cadets from Ada College. The world's fair people have erected ' barracks within the fair grounds to induct cadets to come, furnish In? them free barracks for a wek and charging them only one admission. E. K. Hixby, district passengor agent of the Pennsylvania, made the contruct to carry the Ada cadets to St. Iuis. President Shouts, who returned on Saturday from a visit to New York, said there was no foundation for the rumor that the Clover Leaf was to be leased tu the

Erie. He said he imagined the report grew out of the unusual activity of the Clover Leaf stock. Of course, there is not much Clover Leaf stock on the market, but there is an increased demand for it, and the gossip caused the story to be sent out from New York. His business in New York was to work up freight traffic for the Clover Leaf. The dissolution of the Erie voting trust, owing to the unwillingness of stockholders to consent to it3 extension, is said to be gratifying to a majority of the holders of the road's securities. The opinion that stockholders should resume control of the property is regarded as . an encouraging sign in financial papers, which take the ground that it will check the extravagant ideas of some of the railroad's financiers. Passenger agents of the Lake Shore are sqid to have received a hint to go a little slow in aranging for Sunday excursions, as there is a probability that the Vanderbilt interests will discontinue Sunday excursion business on all their lines. General Manager Brown, of the Iike Shore, is opposed to these excursions, and if they are discontinued it will be through his Influence. This accounts for the tardiness of the Lake Erie""& Western in announcing what it will do as regards summer excursions. The Wabash yesterday opened an office in Cleveland for the Gould lines west of the Mississippi river. The Goulds have never maintained an office at that point. The Wabash was represented by a freight office at Cleveland, but no attempt was made to care for the Missiouri Pacific or the remainder of the Gould properties. J. r. Saddle has been appointed representative at Cleveland for the Wabash and the Missouri Pacific, and will care for both the passenger and freight business in that territory. Colonel S. F. Gray, former general Western freight agent of the Pennsylvania at this point, is in receipt of a handsome solid silver loving cup from his former associates. The cup bears the following inscription: "Presented to Samuel Fräser Gray by the Association of Freight Traffic Officers of the Pennsylvania System, upon his retirement, after thirty-nine years of service, Dec. 31. 1903." On the base of the cup is engraved the facsimilie signature of the sixty or more officials. The cup was accompanied by a very complimentary letter from Mr. D. T. McCabe, freight traffic manager, who is also president of the Association of Freight Traffic Officials of the Pennsylvania System. FOUNTAIN OF CELLULOID.

It Will Spout Up a Stream of Balls of Various Colors. A real fountain of celluloid has been Invented by a nan In Philadelphia who has evidently no very high opinion of the water that is served out to the 'residents of the Quaker City by Father Penn. A specially constructed fountain Is provided in this gentleman's plans, although when not in action it will closely resemble the ordinary fountain to which we are v THE CELLULOID FOUNTAIN. all accustomed. The nozzle is somewhat larger, however, and the method of operating decidedly different. Into the basin of the fountain there is poured a large quantity of light celluloid' balls of a single or a variety of colors. Beneath the nozzle there is located a tube through which a strong stream of air is forced directly upward and through the lower part , of the basin and the nozzle. In its passage through the basin the air forces the balls up into and out of the nozzle high into the air. They fall back into the basin, only, to be fired out again. KING AND QU BEN ARE AT LI SM ORE CASTLE WATERFORD. Ireland. May 2. Kins Edward and Queen Alexandra arrived here to-day and lunched with the mayor and corporation at the city hall. The King, who was in excellent health, despite a report to the contrary, replying to addresses emphasized his gratification at the signs of industrial revival in Ireland, which wouM Rive ."full scope to the native energies of Irishmen, that have done so much to enrich other lands." He urged cultivation of the spirit of toleration, self-reliance and concord. The sovereigns subsequently proceeded to Lismore Castle, to visit the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.

Judge Holt, in the United States District Court, announced that he had made permanent the stay granted in the bankruptcy proceedings in this State, pending a decision by Judge Kilpatrick in the New Jersey courts that tho matters in. litigation can best be administered here. v Charles C. Black was made permanent receiver in New Jersey of the concern by Vice Chancellor Pitney in Jersey City. Clarence Sturgls, on behalf of himself and other stockholders in the Globe Securities Company, commenced suit in the Supremo Court against Henry L. Swords and John II. Russell, individually and as trustees of a certain trust agreement between them and the Globe Security Company, bearing date Dec. S. 1902. The plaintiff asks the court to remove defendants as trustees and to "substitute for them proper and safe trustees to take charge of the trust estate and the securities appertaining thereto." He also asks that the defendants be compelled to account and that a judgment for any deficiency found to exist be given in his favor; and that they be restrained from disposing in any way of the securities of the trust fund and that they be compelled to refrain from collecting any moneys or distributing them. The court is aked to enjoin Swords individually from continuing the prosecuting- of a suit now pending In the Court of Chancery, New Jersey, for tho dissolution of the company. IlulldlDR Penn I U. W.
