FAVORABLE of Gene) remaine largely in professional hands and the recession in prices today may be as- cribed to the disappointment of the pro- fessional element over the attempt to ad- vance prices earlier in the week. There were several items in the day's news that were regarded as prompting to caution in adopting assumptions as to the future.

The large number of reports of damage to the winter wheat crop In the southwest from the se- vers weather had a dampening influence on speculative temper and proved the growing influence of the crop situation on the securities market. Account was taken, also, of the reserve shown by the mercan- tile ‘agencies in speaking of the commer- clal conditions generally. Announcement was made of one or two important bond offerings and a canvass of the number of projected issues gave the impression that new financing must be playing an important part in the money market for some time to come. The per- sistent strength in the forelgn exchange market was an Indication that further ex- ports of gold might be a feature of next Wweek's markets. The heavy volume of merchandise imports at the port of New York and the coming maturity of corpora- tion note issues of which large portions are held abroad explain this movement. The bank statement showed the cash decreased limited to about §1,000,000 and the loan in- creases apparently due to taking over of loans from the trust companies.

For the week receipts have been very much larger than for some time back, as well as showlng a heavy increase over the corresponding week of last year While beef steors opened rather weak on Monday, the market on Tuesday and Wednesday advanced rapldly, prices on th latter day especially being ‘wildly higher As it became apparent that the weck's run would be so large buyers naturall and ,pounded prices to abilily. While they succeeded in wiping out a good share of Wednesday's advance, still at the close of the week beef steers are around 10@lsc higher than last week and the highest that they have been for & long time back. Cows and heifers participated in the sharp advance on Tuesday and Wednesday, and they also felt the slump on Thursday and Friday. Still they are at the close of the week In most casés as much as 10@16c higher than last week. Considering that the big end of the receipts changed hands before the «break took place, the market has been very favorable to sellers. It 1s a difficult matter to say how much higher strictly good to choice fleshy feed ers are, but it Is safe to quote an advance of at' feast 15@20c on that kind. Feeder buyers pald from $6 on up as high as $5.40 for choice westerns carrying considerable flesh to be taken back into the country and finfshed. The general run of fair to medium feeders have commanded good, firm prices all the week, and the same is true of fleshy yearlings. On the other hand common and thin yearlings are 10@1sc lower than last week.

HOGS—Only eighty ' loads ~were posted this morning and actual supply proved to be little different from the estimate. Most of the local concerns good orders to fill, however, and there was a fair degree of activity to the trade from the opening. Under the stimulating influence of a brisk demand and light receipts. prices were marked up in both diwisions and practically everything sold readlly at the improved figures. Most loads changed hands at a nickel advance as compared with yesterday’s average market, although there were a few scattered sales that looked to be no better than yesterday's best time. Quality of offerings, as a rule, was not as good as yesterday, a big slce of the run consisting of mixed butcher hogs. A wide spread of $9.20G9.35 bought up a considerable portion of receipts as com- ared with yesterday's bulk of $9.16G9.30. ops reached $9.40, the same as yesterday. Today's advance, of course, brings the average cost up to a new high point and the top as well Is the highest in the his- tory of the trade at this point. For the week supply shows a decided shrinkage as compared with last week's liberal run, the decrease amounting to an o0dd 12,00 head. Both local and shipping | orders were unusually liberal at the open- ing and prices advanced sharply during the first three days. Some weakness was ap- parent Thursday owing to heavy recelpts and a more or less contracted shipping outlet, but any loss on that dav has more than been regained. ~ Current prices are protty close to 3c higher than a week ago.

RERRRRE SHEEP—The market was practically bare of supplies today as is usually the case on a Saturday and values remained nomi- nally steady. Supply for the week shows a decrease of 5,000 or 6,000 head as compared with last week's run, but what receipts have lacked [in numbers they have more than made up }in quality. More finish asses of both heep and lambs were received during the ast few days than during any week since the opening of the fed season.

The Bohemian congressman, | Mr. A J. Sabath, was almost buried under telegrams from all parts of the United States profesting against such a course. A great number of Bohemlans in they | United States are naturalized citizens or citizens by birth, the rest having made at least thelr declarations of Intention to be- come citizens. Having thus renounced for- | CHICAGO, | much excitement Bohemians in eb i | ever all alleglance and fidelity to the em- | peror of Austria, they cannot, of course, | recognize the political adherence so re- | nounced. They acknowlecge onty the racial division, because they keep in sacred re- membrance their old country, with fts : | great history and with its literature and art | of high standing, is thelr pride, in the | same manner as the Irish in the United States always remember thelr native land, Being exclusively Americans of Bohemian origin, they never want to be called Aus- trians, The Austrian monarchy was born from the ruins of the old German empire only {100 years ago. Originally in the mlddle ages there existed only little of the Mar- gravate of Ost-Mark and a fow Alpine dukedoms which were nearly lost sight of In the splendor of their neighbor, the kingdom of Bohemia. The Introduction of the Hapsburg dynasty in 12§82 united the Austrian territory, but still for a long time this Austria was without any great his- torlcal significance, because the kingdom of Bohemia, under Charles 1V, In the times of Hussite wars and under George of Podebrad, absorbed all the attontion of | the world. In 162 Ferdinend J, archduke of Austria, as husband of Anna, sister of Louls, king of Bohemia, was elected king | of Bohemia, and since then the kingdom has been under rulers of the Hapsburg dynasty. In 1804 Francis 11 declared him- self emperor of Austria, so that his tifle would not be inferfor to the imperial titio of Napoleon I. But until now the emperor of Austria has been ruler of Bohemia only as king of Bohemla. His title contalns expressly this designation. Take, for ex- | ample, the treaty, between the ~United States and Austro-Hungary from September 20, 1870, signed by John Jay on the part of the United States, which begins with the following words: ‘“His majesty, the em- peror of Austria, king of Bohemla, ete." The Bohemlans never renounced thdfr political Independevice, and their rights been several times recognized by the present emperor. Thus an imperial message, addressed to the Diet of Prague on September 14, 1871, stated that the soverelgn Francis' Joseph 1. In con- | sideration of the former constitutional po- | sition of Bohemia, and remembering t) power and glory which its crown had ferred on his ancestors gladly ri the rights of the kingdom of Bohe was willing to confirm this state taking the coronation oath. From 15 e new representative of Bohemia, aftel tak- ing oath In the Parliument in Vienn makes a solemn declaration that he enters the Relchsrath without any prejudice to the Cgech political view to the effect that Bohemia, With Moravia and Silesia, con- stitute a separate state under the rule o the same soverelgn as Austria and H gary.
