The farmers living south of the river
are probably unnecessarily alarmed at
the danger of their teams being fright
ened by the street cars, the experience
of the town folks and residents in the
country in other directions being that
horses soon become accustomed TO the
cars. The road down to the hill is
now in good condition, and if neces-
sary to avoid the cars teams will be
allowed to trot over the bridge, so that
the fancied danger is reduced to a
minimum. Every precaution will be
taken by the authorities and also by
the company to prevent any accidents
to parties using the highways occu-
pied by the road.

Cattle.

Tuesday, August 90.
To-day's operations on the cattle market
amounted to considerable in the end, but
were devoid of life. There were no strictly
choice or toppy beeves on the market. Less
than half of the cattle were natives, and
very large proportion of the offerings was
made up of westerns, Texans and half
breeds that had been fed more or less corn.
Few of them were good, and even those that
had had some corn were not very fat Aside
from few odds and ends the native beeves
sold at S3500425, principally at So 650iOO,
and the westerns at 50 l0@Q3.5O. The market
on strictly choice or prime beeves could be
quoted steady, and fair to good cattle 5@lOc
lower than last week. When it came to the
common grades there was almost no market,
the buyers not making much of an effort to
buy and bidding 20025c lower than the high
point last week. The demand for COW stuff
was quite good, and although there were
more here than there have been during the
past two days, the market was stronger and
higher. In some cases sales were made that
were fully l0c higher. The prices paid for
cows ranged from Sl.T5 to $3.50, but largely
from Sl.95 to 1925. The market on feeders
and stockers did not show any material
change. There were quite good many cat
tie of that description and quite good
many buyers in the yards. AS high as $500
was paid for some good feeders. ..-

New YoRK, Au .ust 20.--lSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE l-STocKs-Ac in stocks
yesterday, resulting in losses of 14CGA per
cent through the entire list, did not cause
any additional bear talk or hope The ad-
verse news was sufficient to ordinarily cause
a furry and a much sharper decline. The
fact that little stock was brought out and
was taken by good parties rather afforded
encouragement to the bulls. Action In
trusts was traceable to the banks, and goes
to show that the best institutions are un-
wilingto accept those securities on time loans
1t also goes to show that the bank interests
will lgnt any unreasonable raid on the part
of the bears touching standard railroad
shares. This left the bull side of the trade
feeling better last night, Notwithstanding
the losses recorded during the day. The
effect was also felt this morning when tho
market opened with animation and first
prices generally le@4 per cent over last
night. The only feature was the transac-
tions IN trust stocks. The sugar trust was
remarkable with gain of 2 per cent at lO9.
Cotton oil, however, resumed It's decline OF
yesterday and dropped to As, against 1926
lart evening Sugar, after further ad-
vance to 10915, reacted to-10f1S, while lead
declined a fraction. Late in the hour there
was partial reaction. In railroad shares,
Burlington sold ex-dividend at l03%, and up
to l04 thus reganing half the dividend from
the close yesterday. Wabash preferred
moved up ss per cent to 34A. Delaware "
Hudson went to 1494 and Lacka wanna to
146 Other changes up to noon were unm-
portant. The best prices of the day were
reached after IL O'clock when grangers
were strong on reports of earnings. Bur
lington went to 1913, closing at 1Oi]S ex-
dividend. St. Pa II touched 724, but closed
steady at 77sl. Big Four gained IA per
cent to 771l, and Chesapeake common Is per
cent to 2514. Coal stocks ware unusually
strong. Delaware &S Hudson closed at l49,
and Lackawanna AT 1853, or lss per cen
higher. Trusts got over their early furry.
The total sales were 1864 shares.

The shippers and light hog men started out
in the morning paying steady prices for good
light hogs. A good many light sorts went at
$500 and some light mixed at $3.9O(9395. The
market was quite active on the lights and q
clearance was soor effected, but directly the
reverse was true of heavy hogs The ship
pers bought a few good loads at $3.50, or
about &c lower than yesterday. The heaviest
packers, however, held back, and when the
shippers had filled their orders ali they
would give for the balance was S3. 7O0e3.75.
The heavy hog market was extremely slow,
statesmen being very reluctant to make so
great a concession. AT midday there were
still good many loads unsold. 1t would be
safe to call the market on heavy hogs O9l5c
lower than Yesterdays market.
