THE CATTLE MARKET.
Best Natives Active and in
Demand.

An Early Improvement all
Around Expected.
The Weekly Cattle Market,

special Dispatch TO The Leader.
CHICAGO. Oct. 26.-The best native
cattle are In active demand and selling
fully as high as at any time during the
past two months. Receipts have not
been as heavy as last week and shippers.
exporters and dressed beef operators want
all the fat beeves on the market. Late
private cables quote an improvement in
British markets of about 20 per pound.
Trade over there, however, is dull and
fancy beeves here therefore 20 at about
s475(G5.00. New York Is reported higher
with a brisk inquiry. Kansas City firm
and Omaha barely steady. Fat cows and
heiiers and the best grades of bulls are
selling here a notch or two higher than at
the close OF last week, all poor and com.
mon sorts, however, are as cheap as they
have ever been. 1t always pays to make
stock intended for this market fat but
very few such lots are being received Just
now. Shippers should know that the
weight has nothing 10 do with the price;
the cattle must be ripe to fetch a good
figure. A steer Of LOO pounds weight
as well as a ] 500 pound steer will bring n
good price if he il well fatted while a thin
LOW pOuuu aNerARc Is naru 10 sell at a
very satisfactory rate. Commission men
during the past six weeks have over and
over again urged their customers TO hold
back such and feed corr until fat or until
the range season is over. but their advice
has little effect. Dressed beef men ell
the bulk of their orders for natives at
So 60(G4 25 while shippers buy principal
ly at 50. $500 So. There has not been a
dozen sales at above 1876 and compare
lively few above 81 so.
Texans are higher on account of de-
creased supplies and the same is true OF
rangers. Some of the best range cattle
seen here this season have come in dur.
ing the past few days. Western steers
sell at 81. l5(9 3 60, through Texans Mt
81. 500 100. and Indians at 81. 90(93. 80.
The prospect is for larger receipts of Tex
ans mex. week. Montana rangers, aver
aging l,l50 TO | 430 pounds, sell at So. 90
CISCO. Prime lots have not been higher
this year nor poor lots lower.
Native butchers stock rules steady.
The local trade takes the best lots and
Gamers gather IN the rest. In stockers
and feeders a fair business is being done
at steady rates. Sales are at 81. 60(d3 90,
bulk at 2.25(G2 60.
Choice cattle now occupy a strong posi-
ton and it looks as il they would sell
higher soon, while an improvement all
around in the near future is not unlikely.

INTRODUCED by tine emperor Caligula, or hav-
ing existed during the consulship of the Ro-
man Lucullus, cannot be s~ubstantiated 1t
must have been known TO Englishmen as
early as the Sixteenth century, since Shake
spcare speaks of 1t, although when he repre-
sents Cleopatra as amusing herself with the
game he probably commits an anachronism.
The first reliable accounts are from certain
manuscripts once the property Of Sir Reginald
Mortimer, one of the Knights Templar who
returned from the first crusade and after
ward Joined the second one, led by Richard
C@ur de Leon. According to these manu-
scripts the game was introduced by the
Knights, and was viewed with great favor as
n beautiful recreation. After a time interest
In the game languished and finally died out
entirely, and 1t was not revived until Louis
XII assembled the throne of France. From
this time on the game Of billiards became n
very popular one. 1t pleased the tickle fancy
OF the French, and thus became n permanent
institution.
According to history, Mary Queen Of
Scots was a lover of the game, and was al
lowed the privilege of a table during her i'm
prisonment. IL was taken away from her
shortly before her execution. Sc much for
the origin Of the game.
George Washington and Alexander Hhmil-
ton were both good players and possessed
tables in their private houses. In the an
nexed cut Thomas jefferson, Alexander Ham
ilton and Lafayette are represented as par
Elephants in the game, OF which George
Washington is a spectator. Lafayette was
accustomed to billiards in France.
For two centuries billiards was played with
only two balls, when the red ball was i'm
ported from France. The cushions down to
a recent date were lined with felt. The
game rs played in America is entirely diff
ferent from the old game MS played in Eng
land. The tables in common use are of three
sizes: Six feet in width by 12 feet in length,
8 by 10 and 4 by 8. 1t is not necessary to
describe the construction of a table (for
every one has seen one) further than to say
that its horizontal position must be estab-

condemned the victims OF folly or crime, like

srxps TOWARD STATEHOOD.

south Dakota will take the first formal step
toward entering the Union, since the passage
of the enabling act, on Tuesday OF this week.
when delegates will be elected to the ConVen-
ton which is to meet on July 4, and vote will
be taken on the adoption Of the so-called Sioux
Falls Constitution. Forced At last by public
opinion and by the hope of saving something
out of the wreck of party prospects in the new
States, the Democrats in Congress subjected
the people of South Dakota to several unneces-
sary and even absurd conditions OF admission
but their temper is such that they will make
short work OF these last obstacles.
Our correspondent in tho Northwest tells in
this mornings paper the story of the long
struggle for Statehood in Dakota, which is
about to close in an honorable and satisfactory
manner. This struggle has been diversified by
many shrewd manoeuvres and humorous incl
dents and there has been at times reason to
fear that evaporation at the insults and hard
ships heaped upon the people OF the Territory
By Democratic bad faith and trckery would be
infiamed to the point of unconstitutional 10
sistance But at critical moments calmer coun-
sells prevailed and the two Dakotas VIII enter
the Union without reproaCh, and with universal
respect for the patience and loyalty with which
their people have endured much ill-treatmeht.
The most grievou and aggravatng tr1ai which
they have been called on to endure was the
systematic effort Of Commissioner Sparks to
prove that majority of the farmers Of South
Dakota were land thieves. II did not require
much courage in an official at Washington to
enter upon this crusade, but his Subordinates on
the field of action found the task too hard, and
the scheme to create Democratic majority by
the manipulation of land patents fell through.
This and other episodes in the recent history
of Dakota are described with many graphic and
delightful touches in the correspondence which
We print this morning.
This series of letters now well under way
grows in interest and value from week to week.
1t is work in which The TRIBUNE takes
special pleasure, and in which i. has had long
experience. The readers Of all editions Of this
paper-and this correspondence IL appearing In
all Of them-are aware that no field Of enort
has seemed to it better worth culuvaang than
the splendid acquisitions which National thrift
and energy are constantly making IN the North
west. Our interest in that region Is not new
and will not be temporary interest. we
have attentiyely followed and continually chron.
icled it's progress and prosperity, and We are
glad to believe that the new States owe some
thing to our advocacy Of their right to enter
the Union.

and praise of impartial historians, even though
~ divergent rrecds. The last Assembly held
IN this city was signalixed by the reunion Of
the Old and New Schools, but while no such
important step Is likely 10 be taken THIS year
the meeting promises to be memorable COM
ina "A the commissioners do from many States
and from foreign lands as we'll, they are charged
