suffers, as they have as many tricks for making
sound horse appear unsound as they have for
making an unsound one appear sound. These
good horses are always bought by some friend
OF the swi ndling agent, and the proceeds of its
second sale are divided among them. When a
young and promising horse falls into their
clutches for sale they generally give him the APP
pearance of being foundered, and the owner,
while regrettng the accident is glad to get rid
OF the horse at any price. The method by which
they make horse appear to be foundered is
very simple. A fine wire is fastened tightly
around the fetlock of the horse, which causes
him to limp and give every indication of a ''foun-
der" Another method of temporary tanning
horse is to pass horses hair through the outer
ana middle tendon by means of needle Gtti,lar
tricks resorted to by these fellows are to make
horse refuse food, to make him him balk and to
cause him to appear as if suffering from the
CHAMBERS In order to make horse balky for
day or SO his shoulder is bathed in a solution of
cantharides and corrosive suolimate To create
the appearance OF CHAMBERS all that is necessary
is to pour melted butter in the horses ears and
the discharges, which will last at intervals for
hours, will have all the appearances of glanders.
To make the benignest animal refuse food all
that is necessary is to grease the animals mouth
we'll with common grease tallow. The horse
will not eat ntil the mouth is washed.
These are some of the tricks resorted to by the
swindling horse dealers, but they have many
more, and person who deals with them is lucky
if he be not deceived.

terday. Decrease in visible had effect early
to strengthen our market, but as it did not
receive the outside support that was looked
for, values dropped off and the
situation became very dull with
a weak and lifeless market. Open
ing prices were $500 May, followed by
sales at 9S54c, which was the outside price Of
the day. The demand was fair at the OPEN
ing. Buyers soon began to reduce their
bids, which sellers were obliged to accept,
which they did reluctantly, and values dropped
back gradually until May was offered at
9Sas@9S15c, buyers demanding still further
concession, which restricted trade. May sold at
the close at 3S9sc; January sold at 92Ac.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Dec. 29.-The stock market
to-day was narrow one, but strong early
in the day, with the Erie securities leading
the advance. The majority of traders, it
was claimed, were working on the bull side
though for the present nothing more than a
trading market was anticipated. The Van
derbilts were all strong, on talk of some
sort of combination projected to control
these properties and secure better rates. It
was stated that New York Central would
declare dividend of 1 per cent. at the
meeting of directors on Thursday. No
dividend was expected on Lake Shore at
this time, though it was announced that the
quarterly statement to be submitted would
show earnings at the rate of Z per cent. on
the stock since Nov. above all charges.
The Changers were very strong, on talk of
improved earnings Wabash was given an
upward squirt at the opening, followed by
A DECLINE LATER
in the day. Indianapolis, Bloomington &
Western was advanced two points, and
points were again cut for bull movement
in this stock and in Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Columbus & Indianapolis. The bullish
feeling in these securities was said to be
based on increased earnings, resulting from
better rates. Jersey Central, it was said.
had decided to default Jan. 1 on the Con-
solidated American Dock and New jersey
Southern coupons. amounting to $500, 900.
The stiffness exhibited by the market was
the most pronounced feature of the days
dealings. The impression prevailed that
strong parties were quietly buying stocks in
anticipation of the demand which they be-
lieved would spring up after the January
disbursements. Very little news was re
ceived of a character to influence values,
but it was generally anticipated that earn
ings of the Western roads for the last week
of the year would be very favorable. The
market closed strong at the best prices of
the day, most of the active stocks having
advanced one to two points.
