. , .In spite of all that has been said about 
landlordism in Ireland, it is difficult to ap¬ 
preciate the number of evictions constantly 
occurring. The population of Ireland by 
the latest returns, made in 18-SI, is 570. 
The evictions during tho year closing with, 
last March, involved the turning of 21,2(57 
persons out of house and home. Or these evic¬ 
tions, 4,840 were in the county Kerry, where 
Lord Lansdowne owns 95.000 acres, and in 
which the population is only 201,009. It must 
be remembered that recent land legislation 
has given tho tenants many new rights, and 
put strong checks upon rack-reuting land¬ 
lords. {Still, as you see, the cruel work goes 
on .The wool growers in convention 
at St. Louis last week resolved that the tariff 
act of 1880 was a failure so far as it aimed to 
protect their interests; and that its further 
continuance would be unjust to them. They 
want the tariff of 18(57.... 
_Swan Brothers, live stock dealers of Chey¬ 
enne, failed last Saturday with liabilities 
variously estimated at from $300,000 to $1,- 
000,000. It is claimed that the assets will 
more than eover all liabilities. The firm is 
interested iu Omaha ami Iowa realty and iu 
several cattle companies. The companies are 
as follows: Ogallala Land and Cattle Com¬ 
pany, Swan Land and Cuttle Company, Wy¬ 
oming Hereford Association, Hillsdale land 
and Cattle Company and Cheyenne Land and 
Live Stock Company, The failure, it is said, 
will have no effect on these organizations, and 
will in no way affect the cattle interests of 
the Territory, inasmuch as the firm are not 
cattle owners, but brokers. The collapse was 
precipitated by an attachment for $25,000 
which the firm could not meet at once. This 
was caused by the failure of a man for whom 
they bad indorsed to redeem his obligations. 
The firm wus formed iu 1872, and in the flush 
days «>f the cattle busiuess purchased a large 
number of neighboring ranches and herds 
until in 1882 Alexander Swan was universally 
known u-s the “Cattle King of Wyoming.” 
The firm had branches under the names of the 
Cheyenne Land and ('attic Company, Swan 
Brothers & Frank, the Omillalla Land and 
Cattle Company,&wan,Cheshire & Co., and the 
Swan Laml and Cattle Company. Trie latter 
company was composed of Scotch and English 
capitalists, amt A. H. Swan svas manager at a 
salary of $10,000 a year. The corporation was 
the most extensive cattle company iu Wy¬ 
oming. in the past year or two they have 
been stock-holders only. Besides operating in 
cattle they have invested heavily iu lands, and 
were interested iu mining to some extent. 
Crops & iVlavkris. 
Saturday, May 21, 1887. 
The Mark Lane Express, in its review of the 
British grain trade during the past week, 
says English wheat is firm; the sales during 
the week were 47,527 quarters at 88s tkl, 
against 157,127 quarters at ols lid during the 
corresponding period last year. The wheat 
crops are making a fast and healthy growth. 
The pulse crop is iu excellent, form. Foreign 
wheut is quiet. Values weaken under fears 
that tho Chicago wheat “corner” will collapse 
and throw immense consignments on the Eng¬ 
lish markets for cash realizing. 
Tills aggregate of packing operations in the 
West Is fully maintained, and tho week shows 
a total of 175,000 hogs, agaiust. 170,000 the pre¬ 
ceding week, while the toral for corresponding 
time last year was 155,000; aggregate from 
March 1 to date, 1,505,000, against 1,325,000 
hogs a year ago, an increase of 180,000. West¬ 
ern farmers have been feeding hogs freely 
and hasten iug their preparation for market 
for a considerable time, and stock'now coming 
forward is generally of good quality. Prices 
of hogs were considerably reduced during tho 
week, showing a small recovery at tho close, 
leading markets ruling 15 to 25 cents jier 100 
pounds lower than a week ago. it is hardly 
likely that prices will decline much more in 
the uear future. 
The great alleged corner in wheat is still a 
general topic of interest. Armour says he 
isn't in it—that he doesn’t own a bushel of 
cash or optiou wheat in Chicago. How much 
does he own else where! The corner isn’t con¬ 
fined to Chicago. As early as February it 
was rumored that May wheat was to bo cor¬ 
nered at Chicago, and during the close of Feb¬ 
ruary, all March and early April it “looked 
Ukc it.” Armour is reported to have started 
iu that corner and to have bought wheat dur¬ 
ing the winter iu Duluth, Milwa.ukee.and other 
Western points and sold in Chicago against 
those purchases. Late iu March Lie began to 
fear that storage room lor May wheat would 
be cornered in Chicago, and he checkmated it 
by borrowing “all the loanable funds of tho 
Chicago banks,” about the close of the month, 
and then loaned tho money to the storage- 
coruonrig combination through other parties, 
About April ~0 he suddouly called iu these 
loaus, which obliged the clique to unload a 
liu-ge part of its May holdings and caused the 
radical change tu the market, which was at 
the tuue such a surprise to the trade as well 
as to the outside public. He is said to have 
covered his “shorts” without trouble during 
that crisis, aud then loaned the same money 
to the clique to euable its representatives to 
pay for the wheat they took in on May con¬ 
tracts. Is he playing a game of the same 
kind now? But is wheat really higher than 
the conditions of the wheat markets of the 
world warrant? 
Under very free arrivals aud decided pres¬ 
sure to place supplies promptly, butter again 
declined materially, creameries suffering most 
depression and closed heavily, with business 
in most, kinds, even for home use, showing 
only a moderate degree of animation. Elgin 
creameries (fancy) closed on Thursday at 20 
cents, (or 2W to 3 cents off in price for the 
week); best Eastern creameries at 2054 to 22 
cents, ami prime to very choice Western at 18 
to 20 cents; best State dairy, half tubs, at 20 
to 21 cents (or one cent down for the week): 
Welsh tubs, fair to fine. at. 1(5 to 18c. (a loss of 
two to 2j4 cents), and tne best Western imita¬ 
tion ereamries at 1(5 to 18 cents, and best fac¬ 
tory at 15 to 17 cents.

Cheese also yielded about three-quarters to 
one cent, as iu more liberal supply, and urged 
on buyers, whose requirements proved com¬ 
paratively moderate, for home trade and ex¬ 
port purposes. Last week’s exports of cheese 
to Europe were 11,402 boxes.

The bop market is stronger, and holders of 
choice descriptions are very firm. Reports 
from the interim- of New York State as to the 
condition of the roots, and the extent to which 
the hop lice have survived the winter, are too 
coutlicting to have much significance, but in 
any case it is estimated that the acreage to 
hops has been reduced by SO per cent, aud the 
most sanguine do not anticipate more than a 
fair crop. Against this it is probable that the 
Pacific crop will be large and of good quality. 
It is reported already to have come on well. 
The London aud Nuremberg markets are 
firmer and more active. Choice Kent hops 
command full values, and choice Bohemians 
and Bavarians have advanced. There is good 
prospect of a fair summer trade, with the im¬ 
mediate possibility of considerablespeculation.

There have been favoring rainfalls iu the 
Mississippi aud Missouri River winter-wheat 
regions: which have improved the outlook. 
The indications now are that the export of 
wheat alone from the Atlantic ports during 
tho present week will exceed 2,000,000 bushels, 
with a prospective diminished “visible” supply 
of upwards of 2,000,1(00 bushels. In the 
United States, on tho basis of the Washington 
Department estimates of the crop of 1880, re¬ 
serves added, and the usual ratio of consump¬ 
tion for (50,000,000 of people for food, seed, 
manufactures, etc., there will be less than 
lt5,UU0,U0<J bushels of wheat aud Hour for ex¬ 
port uutil the new crop arrives, aside from 
50 000,(MX) bushels, usually permanent x*eserve. 
The latter may be drawn upon to a limited 
extent—say 15,000,000 to 17,000,000 bushels— 
leaving the unusually low reserve of 35,000,000 
bushels to be curried for ward to next crop sea¬ 
son. 
The prices paid for so much new- wool as 
has already changed owners in the South aud 
West have been up to or above last year’s 
opening. Eastern buyers are operating with 
great caution. They are, almost without ex¬ 
ception, of tho opinion that the present level 
cannot be sustained. The quality of the now 
clip is generally reported good, it is gener¬ 
ally believed at the East that the opening 
quotations for Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Mis¬ 
souri aud Texus wool will not be sustained. 
Western anil local buyers, however, are con¬ 
fident. in the English markets domestic 
wool is quiet, though steady; the stocks on 
hand are limited and the general situatiuu is 
firm. Little has been done in colonial w-ool 
since the close of tho London auctions. Tho 
next series of sales will open June 7.
