RUSSELL HARRIsON'S CATTLE.
The Auctioneer's Hammer Will Wave
Over Their Backs.

HELENA, MoNr.. Oct 15.-The final scene in
one of the biggest cattle deals ever attempted
in Montana will be witnessed at Big Sandy to-
day, when the sheriff of Chouteau county will
sell under a chattel mortgage, held by the
New York loan and trust company, 5000 head
of cattle and $50 horses, the property Of the
North Montana cattle company. This company
was organized by Russell B. Harrison about
seven years ago. being capitalized for S2,000,-
600. Most of the stock was placed in the east,
among the heavy holders being President Har-
rison, Attorney General Miller and other we'll
known Indiana people, while quite large
block was placed in New York and smaller lots
in st. Louis and Chicago. The company had
for a home ranch about sc, 900 acres of land in
Cascade county, all under fence, but the num-
Der of cattle is said not to have been great. In
1856 $780, 0C0 was borrowed from the New York
loan and trust company. About two years ago
the trust company took possession Of the
assets, and since then has been making sales Of
cattle at different times. The sale today will
clean up all the live stock.

From Wall Street Today.

NEW YORK, Oct. Is, II a.m.-The stock mar
ket was quiet this morning for the general list,
but the activity in Atchison and the trusts
made an animated business. The opening was
steady, but strength was developed immedi-
ately and Atchison, c. G. c and st. Louis, and
Chesapeake and Ohio second preferred became
specially prominent in the upward movement.
Atchison sold ex-rights and opened at 81
against 3l55 last evening, which would seem to
Indicate that the value Of the rights was not
extravagant in the opinion of the street. The
stock rose u to 324 and afterward settled
back fraction. Chesapeake and Ohio second
preferred rose ~ to 451S. and C.C.C. and st.
Louis per cent to IS. Sugar was again spe-
cially weak and after opening down IL per
cent at IS it dropped to 72H, but afterward
recovered large portion Of the decline. The
other trusts were firm to strong and advanced
fractionally. The upward movement became
more pronounced in the general list toward
the end of the hour and the trusts also dis
played positive strength at that time, and at IL
o'clock the market was active and strong at the
best prices reached

IMPORTANT PATENT DECISION.
Abandoned Applications are Not the
Property Of the Public. .

Commissioner of Patents Mitchell has rem
dered an important decision in rejecting the
petition Of Q patent attorney asking that an
order be issued permitting him to inspect the
abandoned cases in the patent Office. The
commissioner says:
ut is not TO be conceded, therefore, that the
inventions represented in the abandoned appli-
cations Of the patent Office are the property of
the public. Until the invention has been two
years in public use or ON sale the inventor has
lost no part of his inchoate property in his in
vention, either through failure to complete his
application or to prosecute his completed appli-
cation within the period Of two years pre-
scribed by section 1894 Of the statute, the in
vention il still his own. the public has no right
to ii. Il follows that to grant the
present petition would be to uncover to the
scrutiny Of the public many inventions which
are still the property OF the applicants, and
which viii ultimately mature into patents pro-
tectinG property"
A distinction 10 drawn between abandonment
Of an application and abandonment Of an in
vention, and 1t il set forth that the former can
be done without involving the latter.
The commissioner adds that he win grant q
request for certified copies ct one q more
abandoned applicstiona
