The Canadian government has prohibited
the importation of American cattle for
period of three months and streng pres.
sure is being brought to bear in Great Brit.
ain to secure the passage of like structure.
Cattle exporters and butchers in New York
characterize the story of disease among cat
tie received from the west as simply non
sense, and say of the Canada prohibition
for three months that as cattle are most
likely shipped there from Montreal, water
transportation is closed and business is sus-
pended, and during the time of prohibition
the Canadians will be enabled to dispose
of their distillery fed cattle. Governor
Cullom, of Illinois, telegraphed President
Hayes on the 9TH inst, saying that the &C.
ton of the British government in respect
to cattle shipments works great prejudice to
cattle raisers in the northwest, where cattle
are in excellent condition, and suggesting
that it is of vital importance that these facts
be presented in such form as to counteract
the influence Of false reports. The presi.
dent responded asfollows: "The secretary
of state has made full statements as to the
false reports about the cattle disease to the
British government"

Had it not been for the fact that while the North
western pool finding itself up to the chin in hot
water the Western Union directors pouring
cold water upon the hopes of their stockholders the
day would have passed on Change without ripple
OF excitement. The hydropathic situation. how
ever created lively business in both these special
ties though their was as antssonistc as the
two poles Of a battery. While Northwest common
went up Western Union went down. the gain to the
one and the loss to the other being in each
nearly three per cent. AS stated in this
column this morning. certain members OF the
Northwest pool, having converted their holdings
into 900 share certificates and placed the same in
escrow evidence of good faith and pursuant to
the articles of agreement. thought to do smart
stroke of business by selling an amount of shares
equal to their pool interest. with the intention Of
afterward breaking up the combination, reclaming
their pledged stock and delivering the same to the
buyers. Unfortunately for the success of the
scheme one or two of the pool members who had
stuck by the contract refused to consent to return
of the pledged stock. and it was rumored in the
street that injunction would be applied for to
strain the railroad company from transferring the
1000 share certificates into 100 share certificates,
which are alone good delivery on the Stock Ex-
change. The sharp sellers have accordingly found
themselves practically short OF large block of stock.
and In their efforts to get out of the difficulty
by covering the price advanced as noted.
Meanwhile Western Union declined from 107 to 1O4ht
and there closed. There strong hopes that the
Executive Committee. even II they did not favor
division of the cucurbitaceous fruit which Is locked
up their strong box would ut least recommend the
next quarterly dividend to be two per cent but these
fell to the ground when it became known that only
the usual division of Ia per cent had been
mended to be made. With the fall of these hopes
fell the price aso and the stock closed weak and at
the lowest figures Of the day. The interest in these
two speculations engrossed the attention of the
session, tho rest of the list remaining dull
and neglected. being strong for Michigan Gen.
