tion of the trade. The prices at which
the geode are offered, which range
from five to ten per cent lower than
last season's figures, are regarded by
the wool trade as establishing a solid
foundation for future appreciation for
manufactured products, and thus af-
fording pretty good assurance that
there is to be this season an absence of
cancellations from the clothing trade
The season is opening slowly, bat that
in itself is rather a favorable feature
than otherwise.
I.IVF. STOCK EXHIBITION.
Paris, .Inn 11. M. tjnesnay de
Beanrepaire, whose resignation of the
presidency of the civil section of the
court of cassation, is regarded by im-
partial observers as the most dangerous
development of the D eyfns affairthus
far, today furnished to the newspapers
the most inflammatory pronouncement
he has yet made. It is in the nature of a
proclamation, and entitled “An Appeal
to the Deputies,1''whom he calls upon
vehemently to remove the Dreyfus case
from the hands of th*» criminal chamber
of the court. Tim p oclamatian con-
cludes as follows.
“Order a real and solemn inquiry,
which si Penetrate right into the
viscera . fchi. .orfcu >ut elimination. If
there is guilty men in tb< bosom of the
criminal chamber, authorise the execu-
tive power to remove them, so our
majesty must regain-its aucieutj pres-
age”
M. De Bearepaire, who shot up hke a
sky rocket as the most tremendous sen-
sation of the whole Dreyfus contro-
versy. now seems falling like a rocket
from the pre-eminence as leader of the
anti-Dreyfusards, and the possible
hero of a coup. The best observers of
public opinion declare the impression
that had been created by his first re-
markable denunciation of the court of
cassation has been succeeded by
skepticism regarding his motives and
the value of his revelations.
Many, if not m >st Frenchmen, esti
mate him as a politician who had found
the bench too prosaic for a man long
accustomed to the excitement of party
strife and who thought he had found
an opportunity to make himself the
leader of a popular ui iveineut.
Two fresh chapters in the Dreyfus af-
fair will be opened in a few days, so the
country is to have no rest from agitat
ion. The first is the trial of Urbain
Gbhier for alleged insults to the French
army in a book, the ' ‘Army Against the
Nation."
The second chapter will be a libel
unit against Joseph Rienach, editor of
the La Republique Franc dse and oon-
servate deputy for t,hn district of Deign,
who is charged by the widow of Lieut-
enant Colonel Henry with having in-
sulted his memory by suggesting in the
Republique Franchise that Henry was
the real traitor. The Reinach prosecu-
tion, for which a great popular sub-
scription has been made, seems to be
the last card of the auti-Dreyfusards.
If this and the scaudal of DeBeanre-
paire's resignation fail to stop revision,
then nothing will lie left them except
an appeal to force.

The Wool Merkel.
boston, Jan. 11- The American

A Kew Feature Will be Ira Una Cattle ly
Sample.
Denver, Jan. 11—There is great in-
terest throughout the west over the
comiug meeting of stockmen here dur-
ing the week ending January 28. Be-
sides the National Livestock convention,
a range cattle exhibition is to be held at
the stockyards, the first exhibition of
the kind ever held in this country. A1
ready there have been over thirty cars
of cattle entered and the indications
are there will be about sixty carloads of
calves, yearlings and two-year-old
steers. These cattle are range bred apd
have uever tasted any feed but grass
aud hay.
In addition to the cattle for exhibi-
tion it is expected there will be a large
number of stockers and feeders here for
sale, atid arrangements have been made
for an exhibition of thoroughbred bulls
also
A large number of cattle feeders and
range uieu are expected to be present
and a new feature in the cattle busi-
ness will be cattle trading by sample
Most of the cattle on exhibition will be
samples of big herds on the range and
the owners will try to contract their
cattle by showing sample lots.
Cattle for exhibition are coming from
all western cattle states included in the
Rocky mountain country.
It is expected there will be a struggle
in the national convention for the loca-
tion of the meetiug next year. Among
the cities that will be iu the field for the
location are Chicago, St. Paul, Omaha,
Kansas City, St. Joseph, San Antonio,
Fort Worth, and Salt Lake City. Den-
ver has had the meeting for two years
aud will not be a candidate this year.
A large attendance of stockmen and
railroad men is expected from all sec-
tions of the country and especially from
the western rauge country. Many of
the stockmen are coming here as much
for the pnriiosa of trading as for pleas-
ure in attending the convention and the
cattle trade for the season of 1899 will
be opened at that time. There is much
interest to know how southern cattle
will sell, as there will be a big demand
from the northwest this year, aud at
the present time there is a difference of
nearly $5 per head between what bny-
<ers want to pay and what, southern
breeders demand. Prices will probably
reach a basis during the convention.
ST. LOUIS WPS.
The Anniversary of t ie Great Louisiana
Purchase to he Celebrated at that Place
8t. Louis, Jan. 11—A convetion of

na; to which were accorded four mem-
bers, were selected rjThe Colorado

The resolution providing for this com-
mittee empowers it to take np the gen-
eral subject of a world’s fair in St.
Louis iu 1908, to organize for the devel-
opment of the proposition of which this
convention declared itself in favor.
David R, Francis of St. Louis, secre-
tary of the iuterior under President
