threatened.

Monday was drawn from a radius or fifty
miles Of Pittsburg. URless the weather mod
crates sufficiently in the West to permit OF
rapid transpof ftation a flesh famine is immi-

Some of the delayed stock trains reached
the yards during the day, and it is believed
now about all Of them, in regard to which
there were fears, or their loads nave been
put into safe quarters.
