Sings low. sweet songs amid the trees.

And birds chrp love with bill to bill
That rude old bridge still spans the -tream.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCH.

CHICAGO, August 22.-fSpecial Telegram to
The BEE. I-CATTLE.-lrcluded IN the
arrivals were about 5000 rangers and z, 900
distillery-fed cattle. Eastern and European
advices were unfavorable, and this fact,
taking into consideration that certain dis
tllleries indicated intended to food the mar
ket with ''stillers," demoralized trade.
Buyers were afraid to operate boldly, fear
ing that some rival outfit would make better
terms. Sellers found it difficult to sort any
yard cattle owing TO the heavy accumulated
supplies, and naturally they were only too
glad to let 90 ut any kind of a decent bid
rather than take the chances of holding over
and thereby adding to the buyers advant-
ages. Under such circumstances ali grades
sold unevenly and lower, but TO quote the
average decline would be impossible further
than to say that "stillers'' took largely the
place of fat cattle for Shipment and rangers
the place of medium to good natives. As for
common half stock, nobody seemed to have
orders for it, and when buyers finally
were found that could be induced 10 trade in
such they bought Texans first and then made
such bids ON natives as to nearly paralyze
sellers. Cows were nearly down to bedrock
last week, but to-day sold still lower, as will
be noted by the representative sales. The
range cattle, including Texans and westerns,
were only lO@l5c lower thani last week.
Stockers and feeders were not wanted ap-
parently, though holders offered good stylish
stock SOC lower thad ten days ago. Choice TO

HoGs-Tbere was no life in any branch of
trade and sellers found it an all-day lob
peddling out their consignments, whether
light or heavy, though heavy suffered most,
owing To the determined attitude of the
packers to force such a decline that sellers
could not in the near future expect 10 re-
cover and thus regulate u decidedly lower
basis OF values than those our readers of
late have been accustomed 10. A fact which
country shippers should note is that the
heavy supply OF broou sows at present COM
ing 10 market is cutting q big figure in the
continuous decline of the past two weeks,
ani are 80 severely Disseminated against
that prices are Extraordinarily between

Cattle.

Thursday, August 90.
To days trade in cattle was extremely
slow and vet the cattle were nearly all sold
before the close. The native beef and ship
ping steers sold at S3.O5@4.25 for 1901 to 146S
ID averages. Some corn-fed Texans went at
1886 and a string of 1917 ID westerns at
$3.25. How much lower the market was
than yesterday would be difficult to say, but
it would not be far out of the way to call it
40c lower than last Thursday or the common
and medium weight grades of beef cattle.
The better grades have suffered a material
decline, but not so much. The cattle that
brought Si.25 were fully as good, if not bet
ter, than those which sold a week ago at
$40. Butchers stock was scarce again to-
day. The cows sold at 81. 50@2.6 and u few
Gamers at 81. 000l .35. The trade in feeders
ana stockers continues in a very satisfactory
condition. Some natives sold at $2.45@2. ~,
ana westerns at 81. 35@2.4 40.

New YoRK, August b. Especial Telegram
to The BEE. l-SrooKs-The whole talk last
night in stock quarters was about the action
Of the Northern Pacific directors in approx
ing the $3.50, 600, 900 blanket mortgage scheme.
1t is believed that the stockholders will also
approve. Doubt about how the new secur-
tiles will be floated was given as reason why
other shares did not respond more freely
with the advance in Northern Pacific. While
the bears rely on tight money to stop any
material advance, the attitude Of the bull
dealers does not change. S. V. White has
sold some Wabash and goes 30 far as to urge
caution in buying until there is a better
money supply. The latest about Lead trusts
is that the national trust is about TO absorb
the linseed oil trust Of st. Louis, and that a
statement Of the matter will be made In a
few days. The market opened this morning
with the bears on top, very materially aided
by the recent business failures. Lower
prices ruled throughout the list, the declines
extending TO a per cent. Further declines
during the forenoon put GONE shares q to l
per cent under last night, while there was
a good recovery ia canal stocks and grangers
Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus g. st. LOUIS

Northwestern lost q to Ito and Sugar trust
q to 103T, Northern Pacific first losses to
asst nights figure for both common and pre-
ferred. Burlington held well and other
Changers partly recovered. The market was
firm and steady AZ noon, with prices still
under the close of last night. The stock
market after 10 o'clock was the most active
for weeks. The recess was bearish in
the extreme. Money loans ranged from ~
to Z per cent. The treasury indicated that
no change in prices paid for bonds will be
made at present. Business failures, state
ments of money in the west and south, and
the fresh rate cut west Of Chicago all helped
the bears to send prices down. The decline
was sharp and general, and extended from 2
to 3 per cent in the most active railroad
shares. The net losses for tho day were:
Transcontinental ~, Jersey Central ~, Big
Four 2, Chesapeake common 1ss, first pre-
ferred 224, Louisville *, Lake Shore ~,
