STOCK ITEMS.
From the pittsburg Price Current, Nov. 6.


From the Pittsburg Price Current, Nov 6.
Chicago received 7Ol ,5O2 head OF hog
during the month of October.
The HamiltOns sold $50 head of short
horns at Kansas City, Mo-, recently, al
the excellent average of 1924 pei
head.
Exporters shipped 80 head of live
cattle, 1920 quarters of beef and l,20C
carcasses Of mutton from New York tC
Europe last week,
There is still great difficulty in OBJ.
tanning cars sufficient for the transp0r-
tation Of stock both to and from this
place. The same trouble seems to pre-
vail everywhere, and is quite serious
atChicago,
Hogs sold on the East Liberty mar
ket the first week in November, 1878,
at the following figures: Philadelphia,
$3@3.2O;-Yorkers, $2.G0@2,SO; roughs
$3@2.50,
The number Of cattle wholesaled on
this market during the month of Octo-
Der was 1857 head. The retail trade
consumed in the same time 2,5l7 head,
against 9, ,450 head last month and 3,243
head for the corresponding month last
year.
Shippers from some sections tell us
that good cattle are getting to be rather
closely picked up, and that other points
will have to be depended on for them.
There seems to be no trouble, though,
IN collecting all the common stuff that
is wanted.
There must, in our humble opinion,
be change in the cattle market within
the next two weeks. We never knew
such a depression as exists now which
was not followed by u sudden reaction.
IL may be only for day or two, but we
believe it will come.
Many farmers are puzzled about what
to do with their hogs. They want to
hold firm for present prices, and yet
feel little nervous about being too
stiff in the premises, lest prices might
suddenly shrink, That feeling of an-
easiness is causing many to let go, and
is filling the markets with heavier runs
than were expected at this stage of the
season. This same nervousness, too.
brings heavy pressure to bear on
prices, and is undoubtedly placing
them lower than they would otherwise
be.

TIE miners in the Hooking Valley
made another strike during the past
week, for an advance Of 25c. per ton,
and the operators have conceded the
advance. This is the third advance
they have compelled the operators to
give them within little over thirty
days. They were getting Soc. per ton
and asked for an advance Of 1Oc. more,
which was given them, making the
price paid them 75c. per ton, at which
rate they were making from S. to SO
per day. The high price of coal in
Cincinnati stimulated them to demand
25c. more, and they now get 81 per ton.
There is nothing mean about the min
ers. If the Ohio river continues too
low to float coal they will probably
strike for another 25c. advance shortly.

We don't hear the Democratic news
papers and the Democratic leaders talk
ing so much about hard times since the
elections as they did during the cam
paign. The glorious victories obtained
by the Republicans have settled their
hash for them, and they can go to work
now and do something besides sitting
around the street corners and cursing
John Sherman and the Republican ad-
mlnistration for making hard times, for
which they were about as much respon-
slble as they were for short crops in
Europe.

Our brethren Of the Republican press
Of this State speak out decidedly in
favor Of the election Of Miss Lille
Darst, Of the Circleville Herald, to the
honorable position Of engrossing clerk
Of the Senate. We feel confident that
she is fully competent to discharge the
duties Of the position, and If we were
9 member Of the Senate It would afford
us great pleasure TO cast our vote for
Miss Lille, and we feel confident that
every Republican editor in Ohio would
likewise, If they only had the glorious
opportunity, under an impression that
Il was a vote worthily bestowed.

OUR Democratic friends need give
themselves no tneasiness about SeCre-
tary Sherman or Goyernor-elect Foster
being candidates for United States Sem

that first-class statesman is elected to
succeed the late Senator Thurman.

1t is not pretended that any wrong
has been perpetrated. or that the
Governor and Council have done
anything more than to administer
the law as it stands on the statute
book.
Mr.. Blaine found it good and
rightful to uphold the Returning
Board frauds when they pro6ted
hlmeeli and his party. and attempt
Cd to excuse them on the most mis-.
cradle OF shams. Now, when the
Constitution end the lave OF his
own State throw out majority lille
gslly chosen, be fnds it hard to &C
cept the situation, and rushes about
wildly in imPotent rage. If injos-
tice has been done in any CAGE it
will be easy to prove it, The cool
head and stern will Of Gov. Garce-
lon have been evidently too much
for the Hctspur Of the United States
Senate.
