Large numbers of cattle have been killed
Along the Union Pacific, at Point OF Rocks and
many other places, for which the railroad pays
damages The sggiegale has become so large
that special orders nave been issued 10 al Trans
to lose time In preference to killing any more
stock. Cattle like to stand on the track on COLI,
days. and have habit of laying Gown on the
Ioad-bed at night During snow storms they
take refuge In the snow.sheds, which are numer
Gus along the Union Pacific and In length from
200 to ., 900 feet wrecks frequently resulting as
none of the snow.sheds have cattle-guards Of
any kind.
The situation of affairs on the plains Is thus
summed up by the Dr0vers' Journal From the
cattle ranges of the west come reports better
than might have been expected after succession
of Billiards so terrible as those which have been
experienced this winter. In some Instances.
where ci cumslances have been adverse heavy
losses have been sustained, but as q rule the eX-
eellent condition of the animals enabled them to
stand the severely cold weather with compare
lively small losses. Ranchmen are generally
jubilant at the bright prospect OF good ont
come. though March is looked forward to with
some misgiying, as 1t Is frequently the most try
ing month in the year on range stock
The Empora (Kansas) News has the follow
ing: The advance In the price of Texas cattle
has been noticed by all dealers. In the five
years past the increase has been l4O per cent
The advance cannot be attributed, as the eas-
ual observer might imagine, to speculation or Is
bulling the market by moneyed operators, but
to far more satisfactory causes Increased mar
ket facilities, occasioned by the building Of new
railroad lines and the development OF tn, coun
try, have added 40 per cent. to the value of cat.
tie since 1878 The improvement In handling
cattle has added 10 per cent and still another
l5per cent has been added to the quality Of the
stock by the improvement of native ranges
Native grasses are not only better, but watel
facilities are improved In the old free ranges

apart, but now by Il system Of tanks the Cattl,

volume of sales is in excess of what was hppar.
ent The tone of the market Is very steady, and
for leading qualities and styles hardening
while the daily request for many msce llaneous
ASSIGNMENTS Is steadily drawing upon the
supply.
Foreign dry goods were mostly quiet In the
hands of importers, and the jobbing trade has
not fairly commenced. Silks were sluggish, but
a fair business was done Ia nuns yelling, CASH

One of the most curious and interesting OF the
special industries pursued in this country is the
manufacturing of whalebone There are only
seven concerns, four In New York and three in
Boston, says the Boston Commercial Bulletin
engaged iu this business In the United States
ami nearly all the whalebone used l. mauulac-
tured In this country. The original whalebone
manufacturers In this country were Jews, 1t is
said, who cut II up a1d peddled 1t in packs
throughout the country. The manufacture OF
whalebone is not growing industry. on the
| contrary. 1t has decreased as the industry which
gave 1t birth, namely, the whale fishery dc.
| citased consequent upon the discovery OF petr0
leum. In former years the amount of whale
bone brought in each year was from 3,00o0O0 TO
5,VueOO lbs whiie ut present 100000 lbs Is
| considered very large catch. The whaling
grounds are in the Arctic, North Pacific and
North Atlantic oceans, In the year 1858 the catch
Of whalebone was b,652,S0) lbs, the largest
amount ever caught In 1854 1t was S,4i5 90 lbs.
then II fell oil to leSs i50 lbs in 1861, and down
| to S00OO0 In 1868. lu 1867 1t had mounted up TO
l,00,Ot0 lbs, but since then II has never been
larger than 400 00e lbs. and has generally been
from 30 COO to 800 600 los. At present there arc
only 2s vessels engaged in the whaling business,
nearly all of which are owned In New Bedford,
business and bids fair in time, by reason Of
proximity to the whaling grounds, towrest from
I New Bedford her supremacy In the whaling In.
dustry. The law whalebone is obtained wholly
/
Of which there ars several species, each species
having whalebone of different length aud
thickness FROM tho other. The whale
bone generally used is sometimes as long
as - or 10 feet and has been known. 1t Il
said to be as long ~ Is feet and sometimes 1t |.
only u few feet IN length: 1t Is not rs may bt
supposed, the bone of the whale. II grows In
the roof OF the whales mouth, very closely to
gether and serves as a strainer for his food
Naturally, as the catch of whalebone decreased
the price has increased from IS TO IS cents pei
poind when the great catches were made to s2@
), 80 per pound at present In raw state, In con
sequence of the increased price and small sup
ply, the use Of the article has been abandoned
