satisfaction over the admission of Amer
lean cattle increases as the quality of
imports become recognized. The Ham
burg official returns for March show that
during the month 81 American cattle
were imported. If lot of 296, brought
late in February, by the steamship

promises rapid expansion of trade"
All this is very encouraging to farmers
and stockmen. Everything seems to
Indicate that the cattle business has
touched its lowest point in the matter of
prices. The opening of European mar
kets to unrestricted traffic in cattle
would alone tend to advance prices.
But other influences have been working
in the same direction. The excessive
marketing for the past few years AMI the
clearing out of large ranges chiefly in
Indian Territories have greatly reduced
the producing capacity of American
herders. Statistics show that last wear
foreign consumers took $50 ,OOO, 900 worth
more of American beef than in 1888 and
$2l 100000 more than in 1889 while the
increase in the exports of fresh dressed
beef and canned beef has been nearly as
great as in that of cattle. The total val
ue of cattle and fresh and canned beef
exported in 1886 was $22 900 900. while
the total value of the same products for
the fiscal year 1860 was SOL 900, 900.
There can scarcely be reasonable doubt
that this increase will continue, with
still larger augmentation. The new in
spection law which Secretary Rusk is
carefully enforcing is gradually removing
every vestage of excuse against the re-
ception of American beef by European
countries which hitherto practically ex-
cluded it under pretext that it was dis
eased. With the embargo removed
from our cattle and hog products, an i'm
mense increase in expectation will ensue
and prices are bound to keep place with
the increase in expectation.

TIE FESTIVAL OF WEEKS.
To Begin Tomorrow at Sunset-Th
Festivals History.

To Begin Tomorrow at Sunset-The
Festivals History.
The Hebrew festival OF weeks will begin
Tomorrow at sunset. The festival Of weeks
is so called because IL occurs on the flftieth
day from the Passover.
The statute fixing the observance Of this
sacred day is to be found in Deuteronomy,
xvi, 9:12. IL was instituted in order TO
establish those grand moral lessons on which
not only the Jewish religious system, but
those of all other creeds who acknowledge
the authenticity and divine origin of tho
Mosaic dispensation are founded. More than
thirty-three centuries have passed when on
that eventual day the sixth day Of the He
brew month Swami a vast number
of men, women and children assembled
around the sacred mount and amid
the elemental strife which shook Sinai
from apex to base heard the voice
of God exclaim: 81 am the Lord, thy God /;
thou shalt have no other gods before me-"
The descendants of that people have lin
almost every age and in every country
undergone innumerable vicissitudes and
countless changes of fortune, but in pros
pertty and adyersity, hcncred or soorned,
prosecuted and vilified, they have with
picus and sincere devotion renal ned true to
their vocation as ministers and teachers of
the moral principles of the Decalogue, and
the custodians of the sacred books of the
Old Testament, keeping them intact by
enumerating the chapters, verses, words
and letters Of which each book is composed
AS literary curiosity, which may prove
interesting, some of the labors of this
enumeration by the Masorites are given:
The Pentateuch contains 304 sos letters.
The Bible, SIS. $3.50 letters.
The Book Of Genesis so chapters, 1,534
verses, rs, 154 letters.
The Book of Exodus 40 chapters, 1909
verses, So, 500 letters.
The Book of Leviticus 81 chapters, $50
verses, A, 100 letters.
The Book of Numbers SO chapters, 1888
verses, 6S $50 letters
The Book OF Deuteronomy 81 chapters,
955 verses, 81, S02 letters
Total number of letters 304, 805
The synagogue service of this festival is
solemn and impressive, embracing the mar
ration OF the Exodus and the PRONUNCIATION
OF the law, with selections from the prophets
referring to these memorable epochs in Jew
ish history. The day is observed as day of
rejoicing and thanksgiving, for the reason
that their ancestry were the recipients and
custodians of the law, and to honor the i'm
portant events the synagogue is adorned
with flowers and evergreens.

THE TRUCK SHIPMENTS.

What the Railroads Have Carried in

IL IS NOT All the Time a Very Happy
One.
Market Policeman O'Reilly had lively
tussle in the market basement with Jake
Small (colored) yesterday afternoon. Small
was airing himself In the market, and as
the officer thought that he was creating a
disturbance he ordered him to move on.
Small said he was buying 10-cent dinner
and had right to stay where he was till
be got il. The officer undertook to move
him. when Small, who Is a fighting charac-
ter and bears the scars of numerous preyl-
GUS battles, went for the officer.
In the struggle he got the policeman's
club and struck him several blows in the
face. II 1t had not been for outsiders who
came to the policeman's assistance
he might have been seriously hurt.
Small abused the officer vigorously. Having
gotten his prisoner under control O'Reilly
started with him for the barracks. On the
way Small again became unruly, and the
officer, who was not in the best of temper
from his encounter in the market, ham
mered him over the head with his club
until the blood flowed freely. The prisoner
was not pleasant sight to look at after
that he was safely lodged in the barracks.
