mand for stocks to-day Many brokers had
no occasion to borrow money, as they could
readily lend their stocks at near or below cur

such as Illinois Central Metropolitan Elevated,
Northern Pacific preferred and Michigan Cen

eddy large amount outstanding, which was
recently increased by some brokers selling
tn ir customers stocks as the easiest way of
raising money. Again, many brokers who
are at times large vendors of stocks have time
loans running and most of their securities are
placed out of reach, which decreases the float
ing supply of stocks in the loan market. In

The Late John Hittson, Cattle King

THAT John Hittson wonld die with his
boots on was confidently predicted by
everybody who knew the great Colora-
do cattle King. But Old cattle buyers
in the city who knew him in his early
days could hardly credit the dispatch
that came yesterday, announcing that
the heroic froniiersman had actually
come TO bis end by being thrown from
that luxurious vehicle OF civilization, a
carriage. There were bigger stock
growers on the plains than Hittson.
Colonel Richard King. on his ranch on
the Santa Gertrudes River, Texas. kept
$1,000 cattle. Miiilin Kennedy built a
board fence thirty-one miles long
across the neck of peninsula project
ing into the Gulf of Mexico and had
$4,000 head CT cSttie and thousands of
horses and sheep in the 2i0.000-acre
Enclosure. Hittson in his palmiest DAYS
never had over 10000 head of cattle,
but he was better known to all cattle
men than any Of the rest.
John Hittson was born in the woods
of Tennessee fifty years ago, and his
early years was spent in telling timber.
pulling stumps, and breaking ground
for crops of corn and wheat. Before he
was % he began TO grow discontinued
with his outlook, and he sought for
some escape from long life of struggle
against poverty. The Mexican war had
opened up Texas and the adjacent coun-
try for settlement, and Hittson made up
his mind to go thither to seek to better
his fortunes He sold his Tennessee
farm. bought sixty Texas cows and nine
brood mares, and struck out into the
wilderness beyond the Brazos River.
He employed men as fearless as himself
10 help him. and established his ranch
in country filled with hostile Indians
and predatory bands of Mexican out
laws For the next fifteen years his
life was continual warfare. and his
reputation for bold and daring deeds
became known far and wide He was
4 man Of commanding presence, a
splendid horseman, and 4 dead shot.
No Comanche who got within range of
the long, muzzle-loading rifle that HIT
son took with him from Tennessee ever
returned TO his camp fire. When Hit |

Some Strange Industries.

THE work OF the staff of officers ap-
pointed by the Superintendent of the
Census to collect statistics relating to
the industries and manufactures of
New York City is now approaching
completion and will show, in the
opinion of Mr.. Charles E. Hill, the
gentleman in charge of it. very salts
factory growth since 1870.
In the course of the investigation by
Mr.. Hills deputies some singular in
dustries were brought to light. 1t was
found, for instance, that some use was
made OF old shoes. but exactly what
use was hard to lind out Large num-
bers of old shoes were sold by rag
pickers to certain men who disposed OF
them at a good price. 1t is well known
that bits of old leather make the COM
mercial article known as Prussian blue,
but only few firms manufacture it,
and the new call for old shoes was
evidently for some other purpose. In
New York City and Brooklyn about
three million pairs of old shoes are

Mr.. STILES, successful fruit-grower
in Kansas, recently advocated in the
Western New York Farmers Club the
practice of girdling fruittrees to pro-
mote early and full bearing. He had
practiced it, he said, for six years, and
has not perceived that it Injuries the
trees at all. Other speakers seemed 10
favor the system, but Prof. S. W. Clark.
of Parma, wisely advised caution in
practicing it. 1t is quite likely that
girdling will promote fruitfulness. as
well as increase the size of the fruit;
but those who care more forquality than
quantity would probably be disappoint-
ed at the result.

repeated attacks. As civilization
approached he moved further on to the
frontier and grazed his cattle up the
Pecos Valley into New Mexico. His
fortunes in this time had many changes.
The bands oil cattle thieves and Indians
would sometimes attack and kill mis-
cowboys and drive away the herds. but
Hittson would rally a mounted force,
run down and shoot or hang the
thieves and gather up his cattle again.
AT other times indians would success
fully drive away his cattle, and. again,
severe inters, disease, or bad markets
would nearly ruin him. But at tde end
OF eighteen years from the time he
started out Hittson had forty thousand
head of cattle, nifty thousand acres of
land, and a long bank account. For
the past dozen years he experienced
more bad than good fortune. Ten year;
ago he quit the Pecos country, in New
Mexico, and bought 90. 600 acres Of land
fifty miles east of Denver, Col. His
purchase law along the only streams in
that section of country, and the 2Uo.0
acres of adjoining land, belonging to
the Government. was Valueless except
as a grazing ground for Hittson' $ cattle.
He stocked the ranch with 10000 to
Il, 600 head of cattle and 100 or 500
ponies. and employ ed about 200 men.
All this property, his house, and all its
belongings, amountin, in value to
500, 600 or more, was vested in his
wife. The assigning of the property
was made necessary by the series OF
costly litigations in which ne had be-

hood at the time of his death. He was
six feet one inch tall. straight, 1.-THE and
sinewy. He was blonde in complex
ion, and wore his light-colored haii
long. He had finelv-cut face, the
striking feature of which was the firm,
squarely-set jaws, which stamped him
as a man of resolution. His eyes were a
clear, steely blue, ordinarily pleasant in
expression. but flashing fire when he
was aroused. Mr.. Hittsop was usually
genial, companionable man, but when
excited by liquor. as he not infrequent-
" was in his later years. nc was a dan
gerous man to cross He always car
ried a pair of heavy pistols, and they
were used in n twinkling when his pas
sion was up. His cowboys liked him,
but feared him. and his long battles with
the Mexicans on the Texas frontiermade

shoes were plentiful IN the cutters OF
certain neighborhoods; now 1t appears
that they are sought after as choice prizes
in the rag-picker slime. BY dint of perse-
vering inquiry it was discovered thatthe
old shoes were used for three purposes.
First, all shoes not completely worn out
are patched, creased, and, after being
otherwise regenerated, sold TO men VINO
deal Ill such wares Some persons wear
one shoe much more than the other;
these dealers ind mates Tor shoes whose
original mates are past hope. Second
IL. the shoes not worth patching up are
cut INTO pieces; the good bits are used
Tor patching other shoes. and the worth
less bits, the soles and cracked up
pers, are converted into Jamaica rum
by process known only to the manu-
fac;urers. 1t is said that they are
boiled in pure spirits and allowed to
stand for few weeks, the product far
surprising the Jamaica rum made with
essences, burnt sugar and spirits A
gentleman VINO doubted the truth Of
this story stopped recently at low
grog shop in the neighborhood of the
factory spoken of and inquired If they

1t has been noticed by some deputies
that while manufacturers are quite will
ing to put valuation upon their manu-
featured product they hesitate about
stating the value of the raw material.
