Deal Next season.
1t has been known for some time that
the three gentlemen representing the
Minneapolis base ball industry, and also
the sporting goods store on Nicollet av-

yesterday the fact was made public that
the firm would shortly dissolve part

club, which is placed at $4,000.
Hach has made the offer to pur-
chase the two-tllirdS interest of his
partners. The sporting goods empo-
rum is a separate institution. and will
no doubt, for time at least, remain
under its present management. If the

Fort worth. TEX. June %. 1880.
Warm and clear to-day and business was
very fair in all retail departments; very few
people in the city from the country Immediately
surrounding Fort Worth. wholesalers In all
lines offer no complaint; trade with them Is fail
all doing good shipping business.
The general produce and family supply mar
kets are in fair shape for to-morrow's trade
Saturday, when there is always brisk demand.
There are no especial changes in any commodity
to note-prices firm as given.
The London Produce Markets. Review of
recent date says there are at length some slight
signs of an improvement in the demand for
sugar, but the tone of the market still remains
quiet, and prices are only just steady. 1t IS
atisfactory to find. however, that deliveries
continue good, and will, no doubt, keep in
creasing so long as prices are low. OF this
there is every prospect for some months, as
reports Of the growing beet are favorable, and
the only element likely to disturb the sugar
market-the American tariff bills still under
discussion, and likely to be SO for some time.
The speculative beet market has been inact-
i've, but the quotations for new crop are no
lower, and fair business has been done with
refners at steady prices. a few transactions
in low cane sugars at previous rates are also
sale, and only a portion OF the supply offered
at public auction on Tuesday was disposed OF
at barely steady rates. RehnerS' yellow cryf-
tals have, however, been in better demand, and
are in some cases Sd per hundred weight dearer.
The imports of crystalized raws to London for
the week ending 9Th inst, amounted to 1855
IONS, and for this year to q, 4S3 tons, against
%, 0S7 tons in 1859.
The Havana Weekly Report says of the sugar
crop: Owing to excessive rains, grinding oper-
atoms have forcibIy come to an end in the great
er part of the producing districts, and with the
only exception of the central factories Constan-
cia and Caracas at Cienfuegos; Narcisa, Adela
and San Augustin at Remedies, and few more,
not over seven or eight in different localities,
that have resumed work after the rainstorm re-
ferred to in our previous issue, it may be said
that the crop is over. As to the total produc-
ton to be attained this year, the former esti-
nation as to a crop equal to the previous one is
still maintained, Inasmuch as 80, 600 or 600
bags, more or less, which is the most that plan
tations that keep on grinding are likely to make,
are not sufficient to alter in perceptible manner
the final results of the crop.

southdovn Sheep.

American breeders have been import
ing great number of Southdown sheep
during the past few years, and from this
it may be concluded that this wei |
known breed never stood higher in the
estimation Of breeders than to-day
Probably these importations are largely
due to the fact that there has recently
been great awakening of interest
among farmers of small holdings con-
corning sheep. The pure Southdowns
are well adapted 70 small farms, where
only few sheep are desirable. They do
not, like the Merinos, thrive SO well in
large tlocks. They are apparently de-
signed by nature for q moderate area
and for small fiocks.

Cattle Scarce in Hill County.

Mr.. G. G.. King of Hill county was in
the city yesterday in search of steer cat
tie for feeders. A GAZETTE reporter met
him, and during short conversation
Mr.. King stated that steer cattle in his
county were extremely scarce-In fact
except few small punches in the south
ern portion of the county there were no
steers in the county to be had. He was
of the opinion that the scarcity of cattle
which was evident would result in good
prices in the future.

ROUND-UPS.
An Evident Scarcity of Cattle All Over
the State.
Good Prices Predicted for the Future Sheep
Statistics of Great Britafn-The
Popular sOuthdOwus.

1t is evident that steer cattle are get
ting scarce in Texas, and it is baro TO
find them in any large punches. 1t has
been supposed for some time that South
Texas was pretty well supplied with
them, but late adyices from there are to
the effect that they are pretty well
cleaned out. Jesse Presnell and Dan
Lewis were in the city yesterday, en-
route to the Territory, where they have
cattle interests, and they report that
there are no steer cattle to amount to
anything in that part of the state. The
beeyes have been moving quite lively e.
Gently, Presnell having shipped tor his
company 5000 since the season set
In. Other parties have also been
moving cattle quite freely, until be-
tween those shipped to the maturing pas
lures and those shipped to the markets
the supply has been pretty well ex-
hausted.
This is not only the case in South
Texas, but there is marked scarcity of
steers in this part of the state, and when
the movement of beef cattle is over the
scarcity will be still more marked.
There is nothing alarming in this condt-
tion of affairs-tO the contrary 1t Is
rather encouraging for those who have
cattle that will make beeves next year.
It used to be the case that from all quar-
tiers of the state could be heard
reports of the large number of
steer cattle, and they were to
be found on every hill. 1t
was that abundance that
caused SO many to be rushed
to market, having a tendency to de-
press prices. No, just the reverse is the
case so far as numbers are concerned,
ana just the reverse will be the case as
to prices when next springs markets
open up. Every indication is in favor of
better prices, and the cattlemen see it.

New YORK, june 27.-To-day there was an
easier feeling in stocks, notwithstanding that
the bank statement is expected to be unfavor-
able tomorrow, and call loans run till Monday.
There was no feature of special Importance in
the railroad situation, although Chicago spe-
Gals reported that everything had been ar
ranged for the restoration of freight rates
throughout the West and Northwest. The in
fuence of this announcement was fairly over
come by the continuance of the Illinois Central
strike, notwithstanding reports that there would
probably be an end of it to-day.
Dealings in railroad stocks were completely
collapsed in interest by the renewed sensation
in Chicago gas, in which transactions ran up to
very large figures. While the most pronounce
strength was displayed by that stock, sugar was
unusually dull and transactions in the unlisted

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June 27.-Since the off,
GERS of Chief Special Treasury Agent
Wilbur have been so active in making
seizures of goods Struggled into this
country by officers and crews of ocean
steamers. owners of those vessels have
been adopting extra precautions for pre-
vention of smuggling. During the pas
sage of vessels between Liverpool and
Queenstown complete search is made by
the company's officials. When vessels
are near an English port the captains
again order searches to be made. This
is gratifying to the customs officers at
this port, as it indicates n desire on the
part OF the ooeau steamship companies to
preve any violation of the American
customs laws. 1t also saves companies
the annoyance of having their officers
arrested while vessels are in this port,
and the discredit of being made vehicles
fore smuggling operations,

SITUATION IN HAYTL.
The People Not Satisfied with HyppolIte, and
a Revolution is Only Question
Of Few Months.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, June 27.-An alleged fleet
of men-of-war belonging to the republic
Of Hayti, part of which are on the dry
docks in Philadelphia, are at present
without q commander, President Hippo
lite's admiral having thrown up his com.
mission and left the country. The gen.
tleman who held that onerous position
from deposition of Usurper Legitime
was Capt. David Compton, skipper OF
the American steamship Haytien
Republic, the seizure of which
caused change of government
in the black republic. and also
the bombardment of Port-au-P Prince by
An American fleet under Admiral Luce.
Ex-Admiral Compton arrived in town
to-day from Boston, and was sailing
down Lower Broadway to visit his old
friend, when he was overhauled by
GAZETTE reporter. Skipper Compton
stated that he had become Disguised with
President Hippolyte and his so-called
government He had done what little he
could to Gust Legitime and put the pres
ent occupant of ''Palais Nstional' at
the head of affairs, and was promised a
remp1sgative position for his services.
* tttt reward was that he should be
placed in charge of the Haytien navy
at salary of $4,000 per
year, payable in gold. Compton
went down to Port au Prince
about six months ago and took command
of the fleet. He devoted most of his time
TO seeing that none of the gunboats went
to the bottom. He was paid at the rate
of $4,000 a year for about four months,
when he was informed that the public
exchequer was nearly empty and that
all salaries must be reduced. They be-
gan on the navy and admiral Compton 3
salary was reduced to $3.50 per month
payable in Haytien paper money, worth
about sixty-seven cents on the dollar.
The admiral rebelled, and after plead
ing to be put back on a footing commen-
surate with his agreement, which was
denied him, he threw up his commission
and returned home. Capt. Compton
says another revolution is only question
of few months In Hayti. He says the
people are not satisfied with President
Hippolyte and that Gen. Legitime, who
had returned from France, is now in
Kingston, Jamaica, awaiting the signal
from his friends IN zRort-au-Prince to
rush over and seizs,fee reins of the gov
