THE LIVE sToCR MARkEr.
L, Fell Heavily During the Past Week
but Recovered Itself.

tCiay, Robinson & Co.'S Circular. Sept. Al
The receipts for the week will be about
$500, against 10000 last week and
1880 for the corresponding week last
lear. The market closed very firm last
week, and everything was sold. Prices
had crept gradually up and were just
about the five cent notch. Monday
morning trade was active and prices fully
as high as Friday. The Western ranches
cattle sold at $.s5, while various other
punches brought strong prices. The mar
ket weakened toward noon in sympathy
with other grades of cattle. Tuesday was
a bad day for sellers, and although the
decline was quoted at ten to fifteen cents
per 100 pounds many droves were carried
over for want OF = bid. Wednesday prices
declined still further and up to that even
ing values were fifteen to twenty-five
per 100 pounds lower than the pre-
vious Friday. All the rangers had
changed hands, however, at the decline
Thursday's market was active and 6rmer

early. Today, with 1900 on sale, the
market opened strong and ten cents
higher.
In comparison with the last week prices
show a decline of ten to fifteen cents. the
demand being active. With the excep-
tjon OF Tuesday all the rangers have been
weighed up early, and notwithstanding
that the general receipts of cattle have
been heavy. still rangers have been very
fashionable with the buyers. Shippers
have purchased freely. and on this ac-
count prices have been firmer than could
naturally have been expected. All the
cattle that have arrived this week have
come to hand in strictly prime condition.
At South Omaha receipts have been
liberal. The demand for the best class Of
anger arriving there has beer slow. and
prices lower. ANY prime cattle should
be forwarded to Chicago without stopping
at the above point. The demand for
feeders has been lively, prices fully steady
and prospect for good grades excellent
during the next two months

offered 5000 extra for a passage on the
Umbria, and had it not been for his wife
and child he would have gone in the

office OF the Guion line and wanted a
cabin on the first ship that sailed. The
agent informed them he could not give
them a cabin until about the beginning OF
October.
The agent Of the Hamburg American
line said: I'VE lave been sold out since

many more Americans in Europe this
year than last year. | never saw such a

The agent of the White Star line said:
Applications tor passage are far beyond

We could not accommodate them. There

The lnman line agent said that the pc

given out the false information to the
press that the free-deliverY experiments in
small towns were not successful. He
caused an examination of the latest re-

and found that they were succeeding be-
yond his most ~sanguine expectations and
in a way utterly to confound the critics oil

The Hydr draulion Fire Engine Company
opened their fair on Monday evening at
the Town Hall under very favorable pros
poets. The company made a street pa
rade and escorted the Dreadnaught Hook
and Ladder and King Philip Steam Fire
Engine Companies from their halls to the
Town Hall. During their parade through
the principal streets red green fire was
burnt by various citizens, showing off the
firemen in their neatly dressed uniforms
in fine shape. The interior of the hall is
beautifully decorated and the tables are
bountifully supplied with useful articles.
The table tenders are all well adapted to
the different positions they fill, and the
hall is well supplied with lady solicitors,
all eager to excel each other in their differ
ent avocations. The guests are many, and
the sale seems to meet their general eX-
pectations. Their grand opening enter
tainment by the Mackleys, in their popu-
lar sketch entitled Joe, the Newsboy,"
was immense, receiving continuous en-
core. The Jubilee Singers in their old
plantation melodies, reminds one of the
true essence of old Virginia in days gone
by.

A careful canvass has been made from
the last canvass, and it is authority be-
yond doubt the voting list can be swelled
TO fourteen hundred and fifty names If the
work is done. One very important reason
why IL should be done is on account of
the last census taken here placing our
population less than 5000, therein making
great discrepancy somewhere. IL does
not agree with the percentage of voters
upon our list, and if this is allowed to re-
main in this condition it may be the means
of dismembering our town and causing
us to lose one OF our representation in our
Legislature.
