"WELL, WELL, WELL" MAN DEAD.
Schuyler Van Nesa Dies in New York
Hospital.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—Once a "barker"
for P. T. Barnum in the duys of that
showman's famous museum here, hut
more widely known as the "well, well,
well" man of the Polo Grounds, Scliuyler
Van Ness, a member of a prominent fam-
ily, whose members, however, he had
little knows in the last quarter of a
century, is dead in the morgue, where
his body was taken after the fatal termi-
nation of an attack of nephritis at Belle-
vue Hospital.
His far carrying cry liad resounded
during the progress of hundreds of base-
ball games In which the New York
Giant* participated, the height of his
fame as a "rooter" having been reached
perhaps, shortly after the club removed
to their new grounds at One Hundred
and Fifty-fifth Street. Of late years Van
Ness has lost much of his old-time pres-
tige. numerous Imitators of his tactics
having made them offensively monoton-
ons.

HARDLY ENOUGH CATTLE RE
CEIVED TO CREATE A MARKET.
Packers Good Bidders From the Start.
Steers Sell Freely on a Basis
Strong to Ten Cents
Higher.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FOKT WORTH. Tex., Jhu. 10,-Kecelpts
fell down to very moderate proportions
Friday, hardly enough stuff bcinn yurd-
cd to create a market. Friday Is usually
a day for light runs, however, and the
trade was not expecting anything much.
In view of the bad weather everybody
was glad to get through with business
as soon as possible. Total receipts of
cattle, including :!26 calves, amounted
to 1101 head. Hog receipts were about
2000 head, the largest run of the week.
Packers were good bidders from the
Jdart, evidently being as anxious as
salesmen to gel through with the day's
business, and ilie cattle market was the
most satisfactory of the week. Steers
sold freely on a basis strong to 10c high-
er as compared with the previous day;
cows were strong io a dime higher, anil
calves were steady.
llogs were slow in starting, but after
a basis was established sales were rap-
Idly made nnd the movement to the
scales was brisk. The market was j<
lower than Thursday's close.
Considering the total number of eat
tie yarded the offering of steers was
fairly large, yuaiity was about up tc
the average with several very desirable
loads on sale, although nothing strictly
toppy was found. Receipts of steer's
tills week have been moderately heavy
and though a week ago some salesmen
were predicting a lower market on this
class of cattle, with a weak demand,
conditions have been verv satisfactory
and values pretty well maintained.
With urgent orders to fill, packers
were liberal bidders and salesmen rea-
lized an advance of a dime In most in-
stances, the tone being strong.
Best steers sold at »4.15. with the bulk
selling around $.150 to J.'J.T1"..
She stuff met a strong demand and the
supply was quick to change hands, the
majority of the sales showing a gain
ol about Hi cents. As on other days
of the week a few small drafts sorted
out of mixed loads showed good quaiity
and feeding and wore of a toppy nature,
but the heavy end of the offerings was
ol fair to medium grade. The top load
ol rows brought S3.15 and the bulk sold
ut $2.40 to $2.90.
Hardly enough calves were on sale to
create a market, although the hoavy
end of those yarded were of good qual-
ity and brought satisfactory prices, the
market being considered steady. The
call was strong and the yards were
cleared early. Tops sold at $;..0u with the
the bulk around $4.00 to
Declaring that the market here is too
high compared with Kansas City and
other selling points, packers were trying
to force a big decline at the opening of
;?• d*>'« business. Best hogs at Kansas
City I hursday brought J4.50, with the
bulk at $4.i!0 to $4.45, while tops here
commanded $4.55, and outside buyers pav-
ing that price, with $5.r>2«*. packers' tops,
in© hulk of sales were, around $1.40.
fculesnien were stubborn, however, and
refused to sell under. Kinally paekers
made a concession and a basis about 5c
lower than Thursday's best time was
established. Hogs then sold freely and
within a short while the movement to
the scales was over. With the market 5c
lower than the high time Thursdav. it
was still better than the opening on that
Although a liberal sprinkling of pias
and common stuff, the greater part of
the offerings showed good (jualitv. Best
hogs brought $4.47^, with the bulk com-
manding $U5 to $4.40.
ing it filled or partially filled with wa- |
ter, in which has been placed a quart or
two of good dip, the hogs will do enough
bathing in this mixture to keep them
free from lice and to keep their skin in
the very pink of condition. It seems that
the addition of the dip does not make the
water objectionable to the hog for bath-
ing purposes, nnd in warm weather time
that might otherwise be spent in filthy
wallows will be spent in this valuable
disinfecting mixture.

The 1"'ran co-American tariff negoti-
ations at Washington have been success-
fully terminated and the agreement has
likely been signed. There is some anxiety
in live stock circles to know how the
American live stock industry fared. M.
Jussetand, the French Ambassador, has
advised his Government of a satisfactory
understanding with the Washington
authorities on cotton. It is known that
lhe agreement includes a 20 per cent re-
duet ion in cotton seed oil.

1.152,071. show steady increases since 1905;
while other cattle,'..returned at 1,774,165,

Edward Morris, ti e eldest son of tlie
late Wis Morris, is In the same class
with Louis Swift and J. Ogden Armour
as ruler of tho destiny of a huge pack-
ing interest. With Hie advent of the
new year lie purchased from ills broth-
era and sisters thsir Interest in Mortis
& Co. and the Fairbanks Canning Com-
pany, the only stockholder with him now
being his mother, though Ids brother Ira
still retains about 10 per cent of the
stock In the latter company. This leal
shows that the eldest son of the late
Nelson Morris Is one of the wealthiest
men in the United States. His esU'e is
estimated at between J36.nnO.U<X) and 140-
OUO.OOO. Tne majority stock in the iwi

Fort Worth had more cattle Thursday
than was indicated in The Express' early
telegram from there. Receipts, including
r.00 calves, were about 2300 or 500 more
than was reported at the opening. Steers
were steady and the hulk sold between
$3.65^13.95, with one load of tops at $5.10.
Cows were in large supply, but they were
rather a cheap lot and ranged from $2
to $2.75.
Chicago is getting jealous of the Fort
Worth market, but there is no occasion,
as it will be several years before the re-
s«'ine classes better than anticipated, t ut
they aro hi lew cases good.

anu there would be a good profit hi $
bogs if we could get thinks adjusted ai
that price ag'ln. We thought hogs
a few years ago were veiy high nnd
would have been satisfied lo make a eon-
tract to furnish bogs right along at that
price. But the demand for pork prod
nets increased so gieatl.v that prices fo-
hogs on hc if went soaring and remained
at a very high level for some time. Vt e
sold a great many of them in the coun-

prices hog raising as It is carried on In

SENTIMENT IMPROVES.
Dun's Report on Business Situation
Optimistic.
NEW YORK. Jan. 10.—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Senliment has improved in response io
the brighter outlook, commercial loans
are being made with more freedom than
at any recent date, and much projected
business which was only held back by Ilia
inability to raise funds will now bo re-
sumed. Tlie percentage of idle machin-
ery has perceptibly decreased. Iron and
steel production had fallen very low be-
fore the revival occurred.
Although I here is no general actlvitj
ill the market for textiles, improvement
is noticeable in many departments. I,ens
is heard of any general readjustment of
prices, concessions depending upon tlie
statistical position of Individual fabrics.
As to woolen goods, the market for
staples has opened irregularly. Whole-
salers from the West and South have
commenced lo arrive in the market. Ship-
ments of boots and shoes from Boston
have fallen off in recent weeks. Leather
is weak ill tone.
CHICAGO, III., Jan. 10.—Ralll In India
and a forecast of heavy shipments of
wheat In Argentina the latter part of
this month caused weakness today In
the wheat market. The May delivery
at the close showed a net loss ot \c..
Corn was down Oals were '/.c
lower. Provisions were lOfyiOc lower.
Tho wheat market opened firm because
of the strength of wheat at the principal
European centers, but before the end
of the first hour sentiment became bear-
ish and prices had declined nearly one
cent from Ilie high point. The market
continued heavy until late In the ses-
sion, when prices advanced about 1c from
the low point on covering by shorts
based on an improved demand for flour
here and at Minneapolis, and on export
news which claimed fifty boatloads of
wheat sold today to foreigners. The
close was steady. Minneapolis, Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of 321
cars against 331 last week and 365 last
year.
The corn market was weak the entire
day, the late rally In wheat having little
effect. The chief depressing Influence
was the Increased movement of new
corn in Illinois. Tlie close was weak
l At cal receipts were 267 cars, with two
of contract grade.
Trade in oats was again exceedingly
dull, with the market inclined to b«-
weak because of a slump in corn. Local
receipts were 138 cars.
Continued heavy receipts of live hogs
here and at Western packing centers
brought out free selling of provisions
by local packers, which resulted in con-
siderable weakness. Buying was mainly
by shorts. At the close May pork was
oil 10c at $13.45; lard was down 10c at
$*.0<V2; ribs were 12»/2<* lower at $7.25.
ICstimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 2X cars; corn, 34H; oats, 123; hogs,
35,000 head.

CUTICURA REMEDIES CURED HIM
"From tho ape of three month* until
fifteen years old, my son Owen's life
was made intolerable by eozenia in its
worst form. In spite of treatments I he
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully ill
hi* sleep and the agony he went through
is quite beyond words. The regimental
doctor pronounced the case hopeless.
We had him in hospitals four times and
h« was pronounced one of tho worst
cases ever admitted. From each ho
was discharged as incurable. We'kept
trying remedy after remedy, but had
gotten almost past hoping for a cure,
ix months ago we purchased a set of
Cuticura Remedies. The result was
truly marvelous and to-day he is per-
fectly cured. Mrs. Lily Hedge, Camtile-

TO FIGHT EXTRADITION.
Friends Helping Accused New Eng-
land Bank Treasurer.
NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Jan. 10.—The
Savings Bank of New Britain has been
notlfird that a firm of Bridgeport law-
yers have been engaged to assist "Win
K. Walker, tho absconding treasurer, in
liis fight against extradition from En-
senada. Mex. The firm admits it has
been engaged by New York parties and
in turn is arranging with lawyers at
Knsonaoa to look after Walker's inter
est. The bank lias the names of those
who are behind the movement to help
Walltrr, and, while this information is
withheld, the bankers say it appears as
if the proceedings are directed by those
who received part of the securities which
Walker misappropriated.
The State Departtnent at Washington,
it is understood here, has forwarded to
tho City of Mexico documentary evidence
with a request for Walker's extradition.
