would be carried out with ease. The deep-seated objection in W liting

Ions of Bituminous in 1902.

UNUSUAL CONDITION WHICH PUZZLES DEALERS.

STRENGTH OF LOCAL MARKET Price* on Hog* Have Had Many Changes This Week, but There Remains Small Net Gain.

P E. Seward, in the Manufacturers’ Record, discussing the natural resources of the South, emphasizes the bituminous coal supply as the foundation of property.

He says, in part;

“The vast railroad systems of the country would not be possiblft/were it not for the economic supply of coal, and they have piled up great fortunes from its transportation There la no such property anywhere so reliable as a source of revenue as that of coal. The tonnage is bound . Sto grow, and the close alliance of all the producing and carrying companies makes the opportunity for future profit greater than It has been in the past About twen-ty-five concerns mine fully 90,000,000 tons

of soft coal annually.

Soft coal is now mined largely by machines The expanding demand has made

IS reduced to a minimum by the use of larger capacity cars. Facilities for handling the increased tonnage have been provided With vessels engaged with the traffic on the lakes, oftentimes 6,000 tons capacity, and on the ocean, beyond that figure, there have been found means lor meeting the needs of the country. The United States produces more coal than any country in the world. Its tonnage is 40 per cent of the total of the world’s mineral fuel supply. There is no other country where fuel is had In such abundance, and usually at so moderate a cost to its user It is mined In twentyeight States of the Union, so that at no point is it distant from a market. Of the 250.000,000 tons of bituminous cool mined In the country in 1902, nearly a fourth came from the South, the produc-

The situation has been very unusual and commission dealers have been unable satisfactorily to explain it. The Eastern shippers, who ordinarily are in the field for the best finished grades, say that It has been next to impossible for them to get orders at the prices now current in this market. Luckily, this grade of cattle has been only a small part of the total Present conditions show strongly the strength of the local market. For a long time dealers and farmers and shippers have complained of the market, but a little reflection shows that Indianapolis Is as good as the best. For the past month Indianapolis buyers have been in the Chicago market regularly every week, buying butcher stock, and doing a profitable business after transportation had been met As far as prices are concerned, lue market has been about stationary all week. At the opening Monday, the outlook was rather squally, and tmde generally bearish in tone, checking to some extent the receipts The demand has centered on choice butcher stock, and trading in such has been brisk Light Steer cattle, LOW to 1,800 pounds, have found a ready market at steady figures. The ordinary grades of butcher stock have moved slowly, but not much change has been noted in quotations * Business in feeding stock Is picking up a little, and values on the most desirable kinds have ruled strong I.lttle was done to-day. The few consignments changed hands on the basis of yesterday's market. The calf market Is steady nt quotations. Closed quiet. Quotations on Hogs. The quotations on hogs have been changed dally, but the result of the week's business is a net gain of from 5c to lOc over the prices current nt this time last week The top price touched 36.86, the highest figure since the opening week of November. Generally, conditions have been satisfactory, favoring the selling side. Activity has characterized the week's operations, but at times the local packers have been very bearish In their attitude, taking every advantage when conditions favored them. The supply has been light locally, showing a decrease compared with both last week and a year ago. The movement the country over has been affected by the InclctSent weather, the figures generally showing a falling off Toward the close of the week the supply began to increase and prices began dropping. The conclusion, according to tradesmen, is that with supplies running along normal, the natural trend of the market would be upward This sentiment appears general among local deal-

ers.

There has been a good call from the Eastern trade, but dealers have been Impartial in their inquiries, showing no preferences for any one grade The margin continues wide between the best light and heavy- hogs. The day's market opened slowly. The outside demand, as usual on the closing day. was a little higher than on the preceding days of the week. Lbcal packers, after a trading basis had been fixed, bought freely. Prices ruled 6 to 10 cents lower than yesterday. A clearance was made in good eeason, the market closing steady at the decline, with fair estimates for the first of next week. Large Receipts of Sheep. The market lias made some alight Improvement. despite the fact that the receipts of sheep and lambs this week have been the laive*t for a month. Prices here are as high ae they have been for months. Conditions are very satisfactory, the demand being strong for good stock from all grades. Most of the Improvement has been on sheep, the top of the market having reached |4.0(^ while ^60 has been practically the outside figure for the best lambs, sales have been reported as high as 36.06, The market to-day was quiet and steady All sold promptly.

SALOON MEN FRIGHTENED

Circular They Have Icaued ia Appealing in Tone and Makes Pledges— What an Organ Says.

The blanket remonstrano* fight that is being made by the Antt-Saloon League to wipe the twenty-two salooirx out of the Twelfth ward—West Indianapolis—and to prevent any more saloons being opened, is ^coming heated Thji saloon men have begun to show tliat they are frightened, and in the circular that they have Issued, they make the following pledge to the people of the Twelfth ward: "There is to be no ‘nigger* saloon started. “There is to be no new saloon started, "There Is to be no barrel-house opened. “There Is to be no saloon located near any schoolhouse or church "XhoFe is to be no beer garden started ’“There Is to be no change in the running of the Twelfth ward saloons to disgrace the locality In which they are located." The saloon keepers' circular ts rather In the form of an appeal. Anxious for School Fund. In the introduction the following statement is made; “The canvassers for these remonstrances are using all kinds of subterfuges and false representations to ^cure signatures, representing to the voters that a ‘nigger’ saloon, ‘barrel house’ or tough joint is to he located In a certain neighborhood, or near some church or schoolhouse, or that It Is to prevent any more saloons opening in the ward, or that thl* or that brewery is going to put up a bear garden qr saloon on such and such a corner, all of which representations are untrue, and the real purport and purpose of Lhe remonstrance Is to close up every licensed saloon in the ward, thus depleting the school fund $5,000 a year, end thereby increasing your taxes propc' tlonately and opening up a large aver it for the opening of ‘speak-easy’ drug stores, ‘blind pigs’ and grocery store salo ms. “The closing up of the twelfth ward saloons would not reduce the consumption of liquor, as liquor would be sold in other wards, and for every Ueensed saloon closed a ‘spcak-e«sy' place would spring up. A b'lnket remonstrance, such as is being clr^ culated in this ward, simply means the closing up of all licensed anloons In the ward and all future applicf.nts. "We pay $5,000 annually i ) your school fund When the Twelfth ward saloons are closed, this amount can be raised only by taxing your property to make up the loss " Not a Movement of Preacher*. Th© anti-saloon forces In th© ward w'ill have a mass meeting In Trinity Methodist church to-morrow afternoon, beginning at S 46 Thg Rev, George Henntnger says: "The Impression has got out that this Is a movement of the preSchers.

getting more. “At the Hiate organisation's head, shrewd, schei‘'lttg men are In the saddlemen who are up to the tricks of the trade, and if the lU>eral element don't grt a move on Itself It will only be a question of time until all will be out of business.’ Speaking of the fight In the Twelith ward. In Indianapolis, the editor says. “If all reports be true, tbe Twelfth ward saloon men are in a fight for their life. To us the situation doesn’t look rosy, and We believe It will take heroic work to prevent th© remonstrators from winning the battle It is also the boast of the remonstrators that all names on the remonstrance ha\<' been legally secured and verified, and that every signer knew what he was signing. M these assertions be true and the signatures are genuine, and they do succeed In securing 200 above the required number, th© remonstrance will cause the saloon men of the ward oonsiderabte trouble "
