weak feature OF trading, and on large sales
by Decordova, a large professional trader,
IL yielded IL per cent. The German houses
were buying Louisville & Nashville, while
the London brokers were picking up st.
Paul and Northern Pacific preferred. Mr..
Sidney A. Kent arrived here last night and
is an outspoken bull particularly on Chicago
Gas Trusts. He says: at will sell at IS in
the near future, no matter how the courts
decide. 1t has dozen charters or more,
and is as much physical fact as the sun is.
In my opinion judicious buying of the entire
market will pan out good profits, out the
stocks to get into are those which have lots
OF merit, but which, as yet, have had no
adequate appreciations. Western Union
continues to be in favor with conservative
bankers. President Green says the com
pany's statement is not quite complete, but
that the net revenue will exceed the esti-
mate by S50,0O0 and perhaps more, and ex-
poets the result for the current quarter to be
$3.50 600 greater than for the corresponding
three months last year. Manhattan was the
only feature in the market after IL O'Clock,
and it retired per cent further This was
followed by sharp rally to los, and the re-
mainder of the list was inclined to follow,
but the movements were very slight. Nor
folk & Western preferred became cOmpara-
lively active and declined l per cent. The
improving tendency afterwafd disappeared
and the market at noon was dull and steady
generally at about the lowest prices Of the
morning The failure of the Reading iron
works caused selling by the professionals
during the afternoon, and the general mar
ket closes with weak undertone. Oregon
Short Line closed with an advance of pa,
Texas Pacific 9S and Rock Island q per
cent over the opening figures. The balance
of the list shows net loss of 11s@3)a per
cent, the latter for Manhattan elevated.
There have been large realizing sales of this
stock. The ~ per cent dividend in scrip
was a disappointment. Pullman shows a
loss of pa on very limited dealings. The
total transactions amounted to 100000 shares,
including Lackawanna, 1900; st. Paul,
1900; Union Pacific, 1900; Reading,
$4,000; Louisville & Nashville, IL, 600; Ore

with butchers stock in good demand and
with AN active market, but while BUYERS paid
about steady prices, in some cases tue market
for cows ranged from s2O0Cd265, but the
bulk sold Mt s2.25@2.4O. There were few
bulls on the market, which sold for the most
part at 81 OOCG2 40 The bulk of the butchers
stock had changed hands by midday. The
trade in beef and shipping steers opened
slow, with little life TO the trade all the fore
noon. In the afternoon the packers took
hold better, and with the aid of a good ship
ping demand, the market became quite
active. Although the receipts were heavy,
there were not many cattle remaining in first
hands when the trade was over The prices
paid, like those tor butchers stock, were on
an average 5@l0c lower. The prices paid for
steers ranged mostly from $500 to $3.50 The
supply of feeders was light and though there
was some trading IN that class Of cattle, it

The above is the name by which
the successors in power to Dom Pc
dro III have determined to designate
the new republic. The provinces of
Brazil twenty-one in number-al-
ready have rudimentary legislatures
for the management of local affairs
and Governors appointed by the cen
trail government. 1t is designed, we
may infer from the title given to the
new government, to enlarge the func-
tions of the several States and con
vert the empire into a confederacy.
With the exception of Mosquito, a
small Indian State on the Mosquito
Coast ruled by native king, every
independent government in the ives
tern hemisphere is now, since the
Brazilian revolution, republic.
Such is the force of the ideas and
achievement of the founders of the
United States a hundred years ago
America, with its islands, embraces
twenty one independent governments
the United States, Brazil, Mexico
Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru,
Bolivia, Chill, the Argentine Repub-
lie, Uruguay, Paraguay, Patagonia,
Costa Rica, Mosquito, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, San Salvador,
Hayti and San Domingo. The col
onies of Great Britain, Denmark,
Sweden, Holland, France and Spain
occupy, however, in the aggregate a
very considerable area.
