DULL AND HEAVY.

Trading in Wall Street Almost Entirely Of o
Professional Characteristic Features in
Stocks and Railroad Bonds Are Equally
Feature ess.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6-The dealings in
stocks to-day were again almost entirely Of
a professional character. and while there
was q marked indisposition TO trade. some
pressure was seen with an absence Of de-
mand, which created a dropping tendency in
prices and brought the whole list down small
fractions. The bank statement reflected tho
heavy outgo of gold last week and also the
demand for currency during the week for
the movement of the crops, but this appar-
emily had no influence in the making Of
prices, as heavy loss in cash was the gem
eral expectation. The only upward
movement of note was a rise of
per cent in Des Moines and Fort Dodge to
9h but neither the highest nor the lowest
prices were held to the Close which was dull
and heavy at or near lowest figures.
Railroad bonds were equally as feature
less, no tendency of prices in either direc-
tion being apparent and the final changes
insignificant in all cases. The total transac-
tions reached only s463,000

MONETARY.

In the local market money has continued
to rule abundant and easy at 6@6 per
cent, with the demand moderate, though
showing slight improving tendency.
Brokers were fair borrowers, merchants in
wholesale lines presented very lit
tie paper, and manufacturers cut
no figure whatever. Some of
the bankers put little of their surplus cash
into bonds, which stimulated the bond mar
ket little and there was evidence OF a
little buying of dividend-paying stocks for

Pork L. Xholesome Eood

There is upon the part of some, who
do not seem to observe very closely, a
deep-seated prejudice against pork.
They believe it TO be an unhealthy
article of food. As pork is produced
and prepared for the table in the
United States it cannot, in the natur Q
of things, be harmful if eaten within
judicious limits Our swine are fat
tened upon corn, a cleanly food, and the
pork, as a rule, is good But the
American people in their general
health give undoubted evidence of the
harmlessness of pork as food. 1t is
a fact that we are pork-eating people,
and 1T is also fact that our pork eat
ers are as healthy and long-ived as are
our beef eaters 1t is unquestionably
well to substitute mutton, for instance,
a part of The time for pork on our
tables, but nobody ever died from eat
ing well-coOked American pork-Farm-
ers' Voice.

CRlBBING INCURABLE.
One of the Worst Vices to which Hors
Can Become Addicted.

One of the Worst Vices to which Horse
Can Become Addicted.
Cribbing or crib biting is practically
incurable. The most that can be done
is to keep the horse in stall from
whose sides there are no projections
that the animal can rest it's teeth upon.
The manger should also be removed
and the animal fed from box which is
taken out after each meal. Cribbing
may lead to wind sucking, the horse
drawing air Thorough the mouth into
the stomach. This vice is worse than
cribbing, as it renders the victim liable
TO attacks of collie; or, stopping short
of that, it causes distention of the in
testines and indigestion TO an extent
uniting the animal for work and keep
ing it out of condition. A horse may
crib and suck wind both at once or may
do either alone. In the latter case tho
animal first arches his neck and then
straightens it, ending the operation by
extending the head and, moving the
lips with a peculiar smacking sound
Temporary prevention OF cribbing is
done by buckling I wide strap tight
about the throat close to the head, hut
the strap leaves an unsightly mark and
its use is believed to cause roaring.
Wind-sucking may be stopped in some
cases by compelling the horse to wear
a headstall to whose throat strap is at
tached block of wood shaped to fit
the angle formed by the neck and lower
jaw and covered with leather through
which sharp pointed tachs have been
driven in such a way that when the APP
pliance is in position the horse cannot
arch its neck without being pricked by
the tacks. A sound horse hitched next
to eribber may acquire the vice in
few hours Also horse sound at 10 a.
m. may learn to crib between that time
and noon. Cribbing and wind-sucking
are unsoundness in law.-Earm and
Home.
