NEW YORK, December ll.-Budsirea's sims
the following review Of the iron, wool and

iicularly devoid Of stocks, md contncts are
made at present for immediate consump.

clarcd by various furnace owners 10 be
better than during the. past few weeks.
The arrivals OF Scotch pig during the week,
at New York, have been about $500 tons,
all Of which had been sold previous to
reaching port. p
Freights from tho United Kingdom TO
the United States for pig iron arc of, and
the mar ket abroad Is weak, but as yet un.
changed from Inst quotations. American
manufactured pig iron Is still quito weak,
and no considerable lots can be forced into
the market for sale unless at round conces.

Philadelphia at from see so to SIS 90 per
ton, but some 1900 tons huve been sold
there during the week for S2l 90. Offers
for steels rails have been made to Penn

There has been 10000 tons OF steel rails

make the total lsincet The steel rail scareabou

affecting all lines OF trade has shown itself
no more and no less in the iron and steel
branches Of industry than elsewhere. The
are not greater in the metal

time, it is probable that good deal Of sur.
plus production will he worked of and
manufacturers will be more inclined to
prepare for next season s wants. The mar
ket nj the moment, however, is unQuestion-
ably dull and rather weak, except possibly
for the best lots Of worsted woods, which

TOBACCO.
Trade in all branches OF the tobacco ill.,
dustry OF this city and throughout the
United States WIS more depressed in No.
vember than for nearly two years. The
renewed agitation for the abolition or re-
ductlon OF internal revenue taxes his had
much to do with this, but it is not the sole
cause. The high. prices Mt which most
domestic tobaccos are held, and oycrstock.
ing by jobDers Of cigars, have had great
deal 10 do with it. There is no apparent
prospect for Il revival Of trade ut an early
day.
Tho reports regarding the quality and
condition Of the 1SS. crop are generally
that it is satisfactory. In seed leaf very
moderate business was done, owing 10 tile
high figures asked and the very limited de.
mand. The sales amounted to about 1850
cases Of 1850 and $500 cases. OF 1881.
Sales ol the 1882 crop at good figures are
reported, but purchases thus early in the
season are not general rs in former years.
Havana tobacco was fairly active, with sales
OF 1,S00 bales. There WAS adecreased de.
mand for Sumatra tobacco, occasiened by
the fact that the present 10 percent ad ra-
loren duty will not be imposed after Janu.
ary ), 1883. This will make this tobacco
considerably cheaper. Cigar manufacturers
are therefore restricting their purchases
until that time. The sales were $50 bales
ut 90c to 81 40 The cigar trade is stagnant.

Attention has been called in this
country by the Railroad Gazette to a
continuance lately invented in France
for the use of street cars. 1t is known
as a ''man-catcher," and consists of an
iron frame Immediately IN front of the
wheels, reaching to within Il short dis
lance of the car track, attached to the
journals of the wheels. In front of this
frame projects a short distance a shoe
shaped piece of iron reaching to within
one and a half inches of the ground.
This simple and inexpensive contri-
vance is intended to catch up unfortu-
nate persons who may fall in front of
the wheels of the car and throw them
aside out of the way of the wheels.

to fight in their cage, which was on a

their struggles they upset the cage and

heavy iron bars remained intact and
prevented them escaping. The deep
roars and fierce growls of the %maddened

not more than II to 2 inches in length,
while its hind legs are all of 6 inches.
1t has a tail about 8 inches long, COM

at the end, and a ridge of short hairs
on its upper part. The animal is also
a marsupial, the pouch being well de-
veloped. 1t is of a soft blue color. Its
only mode of locomotion is by jumping,
precisely like the kangaroo. 1t can
jump s or 10 feet.

A courier who left Camp Bidwell
four days ago, reported old Winnemuc-
ca alive, but speechless and liable to
die at any moment. His young wife,
whom he married last June, ran away,
but was followed by Winnemucca's
friends and taken back to his camp.
She escaped Il second time, and was
again caught, when Ochoho's Indians,
numbering about sixty braves, held Il
council and decided TO kill her. They
took the woman and her year old child
by a husband who died some months
before she married old Winnemucca-
to a rocky bluff and stoned both to
death. 1t has been customary with the
tribe to sacrifice squaws who are sus-
pected of bewitching men and making
them sick, by stoning them to death;
but the excuse which Ochoho's men
give for killing this woman and child
is, that she threatened to burn a white
mans house.-Reno Journal.

used for all domestic purposes, water

Advices have been received from
Fort Maginnis to the effect that ]. j..
Bowles, of the Judith Basin, was hung
by cowboys within a few miles of that
post last week. 1t appears that Bowles
had set the prairie eli fire whether in
~tentionally or not is not stated and
that some cowboys who saw the fire
came up and commenced fighting it.
Bowles drove unconcernedly away,
leaving them to dispose of the fire as
best they could. After putting the fire
out the cowboys followed Bowles, and
catching up with him, proceeded to hang
him with further ado. Bowles, it is
understood, was one of the men who
assisted in capturing Pelkey, who muir
dered Charles Tackle, in Prickly Pear
valley in 1880. He is said to have been

SUPERSTITION IN NEW MEXICO.

4 curious case was tried a few days

Amarillo. Chief Justice Axtell presid-
ing. 1t seems a man, Felippi Madrid
by name, was afflicted with a loathsome
disease. A friend of his, Cyprian
Medina, told him an old woman living
at Abiquin, and who knew him well,
had bewitched him. Madrid believed
this statement, and he and six friends
caught the old woman and under pain
of death demanded of her to cure him
at once. This, of course, she was I'M
able to do; so she was whipped most
cruelty and left for dead. Madrid in
tended to return and burn her body,
but the old woman came to and drag
ged herself away and to her native
place, more dead than alive. Madrid
and his friends to this day firmly be-
lieve the old woman bewitehed him,
and so stated in court. The jury very
probably believed likewise, AS they
only found him guilty of assault and
assessed Il fine of S15O.-Denver Tri-
