There are now eight lines of cable
across the Atlantic in successful opera
ton owned by four companies and all
under the control of the Western
Union telegraph company. The Anglo
American has four cables, cost S35,
00O,000; Direct United States, one
cable, S7,OOO,OO0 Pouyer Quertier,
one cable, s., 100000; Gould's Ameri-
can two cables SI4,0O0,0O0. Four of
these lines are old and will need re-
newal. The Bennett Mackay line will
be disturbing element among the in
terests of the transatlantic telegraphy.
1t is calculated that it will secure TO-
100000 words of the 30,000,000 sent
now over the cables, which at a shil-
ling tariff would give an annual reve-
nue. of 81, 500.O or about 100000
net profit. being twenty five per cent
on the capital. The track of the new
cable is from Valentia, Ire, to Dover
bay, The lines here divide, one run
ming to ROckpOrt and the other to Fire
island and Coney island, and thence
by an underground cable to New York
city.

Signs of exhaustion are reported
from the pine forests of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota. The shortage
of production this year is about Co.,,
100000 feet. The average of ''first
quality" lumber has run down within
the last ten years from IL per cent to
two per cent. The Northwestern Lum-
herman says on the subject: ''The
quality of the logs is much poorer than
ever before, as many have been put in
from land once cut over, and new land
has been cleared of everything that
will make Gull board. The imprOv-
ident lumberman, who in past only cut
the choice pine and left the remainder
to be devastated by fire, now saws
down his trees close to the roots to
save an AK kerf; scrapes the ground
with "A fine tooth rake to get every log
that will make passable mill culls, and
will discharge a foreman that leaves on
the ground log six inches in di-
ameter."

New York banks have thus far by tacit
consent managed to avoid them in clearing
house transactions. But now not only are
silver certificates being persistently forced
into circulation, but gold certificates are
being proportionately withheld. By the daily
treasury report it appears that only 81 per
cent. of the gold in the government vaults is
represented by outstanding certificates, but
there is more than 500, 900 in silver GER
tifcates (73 per cent. of the amount of coin
on hand) in circulation. Gold is beginning to
disappear not only by the government re-
firing it from circulation, but by private and
corporate boarding and by expectation. Al

their gold reserves and will not allow them

''The danger that is feared, and it is not an
imaginary one, is that the present policy of
the government will force gold to
a premium a result which at this
time would be nothing short
of financial calamity. This is the logical
outcome of the silver policy of the country,
and the sooner it is realized at Washington
the more easily will a great financial crisis be
ayerted The talk about the use of silver in
juring the credit of Boston to the advantage
of New York is nonsense. No city in the
country will fight harder for sound money
basis than Boston. If from any motive
the government attempts to silverize Boston

The receipts of cattle at the stock yards to-
day were 2, 800, or about 1000 more than on
more than ON last Wednesday, making
about 1000 more for the week SO far than
for the same period last week. There were
good many buyers and the market opened
rather active but at a shade lower prices on
shipping and dressed beef grades,
and as the forenoon wore on the decline was
more pronounced, many statesmen placing
the same at 10@15c, while buyers would not
admit that they were a nickel lower. 1t is
almost certain, however, that 1880 cattle
would weaken prices. Butchers stock ruled
steady with good demand, and there was an
active inquiry for stockers and FEEDER at the
current high prices. The receipts of hogs
run up to $4,000 or about 5000 less than
last Wednesday, and for the week SO far
there is a decrease of about $4,000, as COM
pared with the corresponding period last
week. The market was, to use a common
but characteristic expression, "played out"
Trade did not commence until late hour,
mouth" as the saying is. The common
light and light light that have been accumu-
lating for week past, had to be sold for
whatever buyer would bid, some really
neat little pigs, fat and even, selling between
$3.50 and 5000, and at these figures
there was only a limited demand. For
rough packing the demand was also light,
only one or two packers buying and those
on limited orders on shipping account. There
was scarcely any demand for choice
heavy or assorted heavy, the best only max
ing S7.25(07. 80. The general market is
15@20c lower than on Monday with an un-
settled feeling and lower outlook on all
grades.
The receipts of sheep were $500, or about
the same number as last Wednesday, but
there is an increase of about $500 for the
week. So far to-day the market was only
fairly active and prices ruled shade lower
on all sorts, with the chances that another
drop of 10@15c would follow before the pres
ent accumulations would be cleared.

New YORK, Feb. 27.-The bears had the
control of matters this morning, and ham
mered the market most numerically. Many
of the timid let their stocks 60. This city
has Of late been treated to such an avalanche
of bear kilograms that the average operator,
who generally buys instead of selling, stands
aloof with the expectation of raking some
thing in when the expected break comes.
The long winded dispatches from those
who want to discourage purchasing and
incite shorts sales, fall short of the mark. 1t
is simply an item of interest with them. The
demand for the good dividend paying stocks
continues, and they are being absorbed from
day to day. There was a big fight on the
coalers, with the bulls ON the winning side to
some extent. The grangers were sold freely,
and the bears hoped that their movement
against them would demoralize things gener-
ally. There is great anxiety in the minds of
the public that have been induced to buy stocks
to ascertain the whereabouts of the bull man
ipulators, of which such great things have
been expected. If alive they have success
fully concealed their identity for the last two
or three days. The market throughout was
entirely bare of support as far as appear
ances would indicate, and the bears were al
lowed to work at the irown will The heaviest
pressure was on Northwestern and st. Paul,
which were sold off on dispatches from Chi
cago stating that a war was imminent
between the Rock Island and Northwestern,
and that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
was preparing to take hand. Lackawanna
was offered for sale freely, but there are
many believers in the property and it was
bought at every concession in price.
There was good inside buying in Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, and the stock was not
in good supply, all that was offered being
freely taken. At ono time during the fore
noon the market seemed to be led by the
bulls with all that it would take. Gould was
also withdrawn by the bears, and it was used
as strong argument for depressing stocks.
report was circulated giving Mr.. Vanderbilt
as authority that Mr.. Porter and Mr.. Cable
were together for the purpose of disturbing
rates in order to depress prices to cover
shorts. Mr.. Vanderbilt announced that if
rates were further depressed he should ad-
vertise for proxies of the Rock Island. The
Gould brokers were buyers of Oregon. It
was reported that the Rock Island
Office in New York was authority
for the statement that only the preliminaries
of the tripartite agreementwere gone through
with and that articles would not be signed
until near Saturday. The Vanderbilt brok-
ers were large buyers of Lackawana at the
close. The Omaha has declared a dividend
of ~ per cent. The books close March 81.
