smuggling. but Just now there Is much more
than usual. and that Is probably how customs
officers came to seize twelve boxes OF boa con-

Advance on Oct. 1. The boxes were not en-
tered upon the ships manifest and not con-
signed to anybody The sailors said the snakes
were their own personal property. and not in

boxes and wanted to know what the sailors in
tended to do with snakes eight and ten feet
long. Yesterday the snakes were sold at
auction.
Robert Stoddart's stables at 600 Greenwich
street have been bonded by the Custom House
for the storage of such live stock as comes into
the Governments hands, here the big

About. noon yesterday Mr.. Stoddart brought
the snakes down stairs and sot the boxes in
the front Of the stable. About twenty dealers
were on hand. Among them was young and

the air Of nconnosseur Her advice evidently
had Its influence upon o man who accompa-

The snakes went for a song. Shipments
have been so free Of late that tho market is
glutted. and when somebody started of with u
bid Of $40 for thu lot no one but the auctioncer
seemed surprised. The bidding was lively
for a time, but advanced by such small jumps

looking for . bargain. When II. Hoile, who
