THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Wall street is said to be the pulse of
the nation. The good times are dis
counted by the great operators of the
street. The great prosperity of 70 and
80 first showed itself in prices on the
Stock Exchange. The drought of 81
aud the bad times which followed
caused depression in securities which
was not felt in the general business of
the country till later. For two years
prices have been on the down grade,
but early in February n changed feel
ing manifested itself in the street. The
"bears"-that is, The sellers OF the
market-failed in their efforts to still
further depress prices, and the ''bulls'
took hand in the game of specula-
ton and succeeded i'm establishing a
higher range of values. Then the iron
market became more active Sagac-
ious business men say that the price Of
iron tells the story of the Industrial
situation. When the quoted values of
that metal fall, it means that all the
industries of the country are suffering
but when there is a new demand for
tools and engines-that IL, for iron and
steel-it shows that the business Of the

The oats weight IL pounds per bushel,

BREAKING A MUSTANG.

In an interesting paper in the March

Mustangs, Noah Brooks gives the
followin? graphir account of the
methods Of capturing and breaking the
wild horse of the prairies: Riding at
full speed, the Mexicans career over
the plains like wild men. whrling
their coiled lariats, or lassos over their
heads rs they fly. Their horses are
covered with foam, and often bleeding
from the cruel SparS with which they
are urged on The earth trembIes IN

there is no escape now for the captive.
The hunter mkt blinds his prize,
takes turn Of the lafiat around H.,
forele.s, forces heavy bit INFO its
mouth, and at once begins TO break
it to the saddle How do you suppose
the poor mustang feels when il finds
itself saddled, bridled, and straddlel

animal in the world has so many tricks
and antics as u newly captured wild
to all of these In few hours. the
poor beast, SO lately free and careless
creature, wild rover OF the boundle- S
plains, is reduced to abject subsection.
Its spirit is broken, and though it may
still retain some Of its native vicious
ness, it is the slave OF its owner.
Henceforth it never forgets the lasso.
1t knows and breads the sight of one
and if it escapes, there is very little
difficulty in catching it again. But its
rider, too, must never forget that the
hapless captive is only half-tamed. He
must watch it narrowly; for often
afterward, when he least suspects such
insubmission, the steed he rides will
try to throw hlm, and will struggle un
der the saddle as if it were but newly
