| either for better or worse, but generally there is a slight improvement manifest. The number of fatal cases, however, has increased. The deaths Saturday were 30, Sunday 54, and Monday 96. The Third and Fourth avenue cars were stopped to- day by President Bergh of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Few or no cars were run on East Broadway, avenues A. B. c. and D. Seventh and Ninth avenues or belt lines, and the Sixth 1 a1d Eighth avenue lines stop their down trips at Canal street. There is no probabil- ity of the use of dummy engines which can hardly be produced before the horses re- cover. The stages are beginning to run more frequently and the horses are improv. ing. Hundreds of vehicles as yet remain unused iu the street, but many teams laid up last week are making their appearance, and huge brooches are already made in the breastworks of cotton bales lining the pier along West and South streets. Notwith- there is no reason to believe the epidemic has left the city. A large number of South American ponies arrived yesterday in per feet health, and half of them this after noon exhibited symptoms of the disorder. The horses owned by the express compa-, nies are still affected, but the majority of them are at work. The reports from pri- vate stables are more cheerful, and the hor. ses up town are beginning to relish their food and are looking much better. A ance in the neighborhood of the Stock Ex- change to-day. The agents of the different piers say goods are rotting, and before there can be any possibility of their removal will be useless. At the Boston 6 Worcester line few horses are at work, all in dis eased state, and the pier is almost impassa- ble. as well as the Boston and Fall River dock. No freight will be taken until things improve. The Old Dominion and Cslifor- mia steamship line piers are blocked with vessels heavily laden. Business is suspended at the National line pier, while the City of Washington, of the Inman line, is slowly discharging on lighter. It is believed the Guion steamer Idaho will be detained many days, as only 500 uot of 3, ,45O bales of cot ton are engaged for her yet.
 The disease still greatly interferes with business in Brooklyn, but slight improve ment is generally reported am ong the hor- ses affected. The car lines are running ir- regularly, and haul off early in the evening. A few teams were working to-day at the wharves, and the ice companies are using their Horses. The livery stables report a large number of deaths, but the sick horses are now improving.
