TO The BEE. -SToCKs-Opinion is quite
general that the temporary stringency in
money may delay but can not prevent a
higher range of prices for standard railroad

Hogs.

There was big change in the situation in
the hog market to-day Light hogs sold
about steady, but there were not so many
lights here, not so much sorting and conse-
quently not so many "a. % sales as yesterday.
Some light mixed hogs brought 1895. The
market in heavy hogs opened active, with
Boston paying mostly So. SOB 90 for hogs
suitable for that trade. IT, would be safe to
call the market on this sort l0015c
higher than yesterdays close, and fully as
strong, ii not little stronger, than yester
day morning. Some good loads that brought
$3.50 were the same loads that the
packers would offer only $40 for at the
close yesterday. Anything that the shippers
would not touch did not experience so much
advance but it sold higher. An early clear
ance was effected, ana all the hogs, including
the eight loads of holdovers, were sold before
the close.

Cattle.


Wednesday, August 81.
To-hay's trade in cattle was rather
peculiar, it was slow aud devoid of life, and
vet good many cattle changed hands, and
in good season too As high as $3.50 was
paid for the best cattle, which was perhaps
no lower than yesterdays market, though
there were no cattle just like them mere
yesterday. IL is safe 10 say, however, that
cattle no better brought S4.40 last week. The
market could be quoted l0c lower on other
grades OF beef cattle without any danger of
getting it too low. In one instance cattle Of
the same lot for which $40 was offered
yesterday sold o-day at S3.2j but unfinished
cattle, such as they were, are feeling the
heaviest decline. The native beeves sold
largely Mt t3250o3 95, while some corn fed
Texans went at 1925 and few rangers at
$3.50. Butchers stock was IN pretty fair
supply, and it, too, sold lower A bunch OF
choice fancy heifers. averaging S36 lbs, sold
at 1928, but the COW stuff went largely at
SlS50C2. 10. Stockers and feeders sold at
about the same old prices, and there was
considerable trading. Native feeders brought

youth named William Matuta, better
known as Japanese Bill, of 5000, was ex.
amined in the Police Court yesterday
while the cases of Peaters and Phantom were
continued until tomorrow.
1t was shown by the testimony that tbs
Jap, having received S212 for work per.
formed by him as cook at the Boca Mill
started out Friday afternoon for time.
During his meanderings he ran afoul OF
Kelly, who, upon learning that the JAP
had considerable money, volunteered to
act as pilot and companion during the
Jap's carousals. After visiting various
saloons, and imbibing frequently, they
wound up in disreputable L-street dive
where Matuta became helplessly drunk
Kelly here relieved him of 5000, and then
started off for time" of his own. He
gave his partner Phantom $50, and deposited
$3.50 for safe keeping with Peaters, who is
a barkeeper at another L-street GROCERY
He treated everybody, and was impressing
the denizens of l. street with the belief that
he had fallen heir to million or two when
police officers Franks and Carroll grabbed
him and took him to Jail.
Kelly essayed to explain to the Court that

is due the manager of this hotel for the
most successful result of the ball, III which
each and every one present showed their ap-
probation of their hosts endeavor TO please
by entering whole-souled into the fl stivi-
ties, getting the worth of their money and
the right change back.
The two great stores opposite the hotel,
owned by W. Levy, were also tsstefully
decorated with evergreens brought from
Guinda for the occasion. The orchestra,
stationed at the door connecting the stores,
furnished music for both halls. Ii is need
less to comment upon the efficiency of this
music, more than TO say il was first class.
The grand march started at o'clock,
and dancing continued until 4 A. NJ, after
which the trains bore their happy and well -.
satisfied charges back to their homes.
"A noticeable feature, among other things,
was the number of beautiful ladies who
had taken pains TO grace the event by their
presence. The same might be said of the
gentlemen, most of whom appeared in full
dress. Prominent among the guests were :
Mr. and Mrs. Watson Barnes. Mr.. and
Mrs G ID Fisk, H W. Hilliker, Mr. and

| tunneling under water as well ss mount
i aims, where large quantities of water are in
close proximity, the air pressure will keep
| the wafer from the works; or, in other
words, gravitation is overcome. Thus the
| cooped-up gas may exercise some such
part, although unseen.
The writer has never read in any work
any similar analogy or theory brought out.
| This idea is original, yet to the more adj
vanced in science, this little idol or idea set
up would require but little mental effort to
! smash it into very small fragments. Still
there may be worse reasoning than here
represented upon this subject. True it is
| that heat and water play very important
parts upon the surface of this globe. May
we not expect, when islands are pushed
out of the ocean and volcanoes form upon
them, that there also alternately fire Cheat
and water rule until their forces are spent2
AT the noted watering place of Kissingen
(Bavaria), about one and one half miles
above the town, along the river Saalle,
there is located a very deep well formerly
used for the production of salt, but at pres
ent the gas and water are both utilized III
re- establishing health to man. The well is
closed in, somewhat like the skylights on
the ocean steamers. Under this device the
gas is cooped up under pressure and led in
pipes over the large bathing establishment,
etc. The gas is used direct for throat
diseases and ailments of the ear, etc. At
certain time IL II. to 2 P. NJ there is
noticed in this we'll tremendous agitation
and boiling, which subsequently subsidies
to normal state. it always occurs at GER
tain hours, and the agitatioDs more or less
violent. The gas is principally carbonic
acid gas, and cannot be ignited.
As the undersigned has twice visited
Kissingen while sojourning in Europe, he
is acquainted with the above-named phe-
nomenon, which, in this case, may be due
to water pressure, or not. The origin of
carbopic acid in such large quantities, and
that of natural gas, may differ considerably.
Much, after all, is yet theory.
