phia aud other cities stand at the head.
But it is undoubtedly true that the men
who have gone into the commercial
growing of flowers ard trees and shrubs
have contributed the strongest influence
toward this change for the better IN
the popular taste. In many instances
the florists of today are men of culture
and education. and their daily familiarity
with the beautiful products of their Ia
bors tends to constantly improve their
artistic perceptions.
If the raising of flowers were not a
most profitable occupation, such men
could not afford to engage in it. and, as
a matter of fact, Horticulture has long
been one of the sUrest avenues to the
rapid acquisition of wealth. Several OF
the notable fortunes OF the country have
been won through its prosecution, nota-
bly, at Rochester, for years famous as the
Flower City after the Minneapolis mills
had destroyed its right TO its old time
title of the Flour City. The cultivation
of flowers in the suburbs of the great
cities of New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Boston, etc, in great profusion,
is. however, a growth of the past 90
years. In the vicinity of Now York es-

fair and trading early good in cash

northern. declined to Tic. and closed nc

ket for butchers and Gamers stock
was not less marked, supplies of those
descriptions also being Shert of the de-
mand. Western range cattle generally
sold 10c higher, and Texans were sale
able at 5@10c advance. The pens were
cleared carly, and the close was firm.
Few sales were reported below S1.S5.
A few skeleton cows were peddled out
at S1.50@l rs, but it was very poor ar
ticle that had to go below 81. The bulk
of the natives sold at S2@3 for cows,
heifers and bulls. and at S4.60@5. % for
steers. Sales of Western rangers were
principally at S2.40@3.65, and 81 25@2 90
bought most of the Texans. The calf
market was lightly supplied and was
strong at S2.50@5.75.
The hog market continued to show
firmness. The supply was 10000 head
less than for last Wednesday, and the
total for the first half of this week Is
10000 head less than for the same time
last week. The decrease has been suffi-
GENTLY marked to keep prices Cooking
up" in spite of the uncertain course of
the market for hog products. So far
this week not Tar from one-half of the
receipts have fallen TO shippers. The
activity in the demand from that quarter
has made ali efforts of packers to break
the market unavailing. There was &C
tivity today at S606.65 for poor to choice
heavy hogs, at s6.25@6.90 for light, and
at So. l5QQ6. so for mixed lots. While the
range of prices was about the same as
for yesterday, the average was a little
higher. Heavy lots sold largely at Sc. %
96.50. and the prices most frequently
paid for light weights were S6.65@6. So.
This branch of the live stock market,
like that of cattle and hogs, was firm.
The receipts continue to show consid-
cradle falling off from the recent aver
age, and under the stimulus of a good
demand prices continue to grow strong.
They are l5@20c higher than at the low
est time last week; present quotations
between Sl.50@3. 40 for poor to choice
qualities of sheep. The lamb market
has improved correspondingly. and is
now quoted at S2.45@5 10. Recently
there has sprung up very good de
mand tor feeders, and the chances are
we shall see no mole of the low prices
prevailing during August and the first
half of September. The bulk of the
sheep here today sold at S303.75, and
from $4.50(@5 bought the bulk of the
lambs. Recelpts-Cattle. 1900; calves,

Huron.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. D Oct.4.-The attendance
at the international courslng race was
almost doubled to-day. Incoming trains
brought crowds from every direction,
and tonight the town is thronged with
sports from all parts of the Union. The
demand for vehicles to transport the
crowd to the cOurSing field far exceeded
the supply. TOday'S races were more eX
citing than those of yesterday, and large
amount of money changed hands. and
several thousand is staked on tomor-
rows results. At the close of the pro-
gramme this evening the American
dogs showed little signs of fatigue,
while their European co mpaniOnS were
quite used up. The contest for the
Columbian cup and $4,000 narrowed
down to the following dogs as winners in
today's courses for that prize: Sir Hugo,
owned by Allen IL Rev, Mitchell, S. D.;
II. G. Lowe, Lawrence, Kan; Vol

owned by f. B. Coyne. Huron, and Ban

Twelve races will constitute tomorrow's

mirerS don't hesitate to stake large
sums in their favor. The English dog

J. c. Pond, general passenger agent
of the Wisconsin Central, explained
yesterday the position of his road with
reference to the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION. He said:
when the Central severed its con-
nection with the Northern Pacific it
ceased to be a member of the associa-
ton, for 1t began as a new line. and in
oider to be a member it must join origi
nallv. Formerly it was operated under
the Northern Pacific lease; now it oper-
ates by its owners. The situation is
practically the same as though the road
had been owned by the Northern Pacific
and sold to its present owners. After
the decision of the court. in order TO be
members of the association we must
have made regular application for mem-
bership and been admitted as a new
inc. The policy of the road has been
miSconstrued. 1t is the intention to
operate on the old conservative lines
and not to do any slashing. We
may in time apply for membership in

John X. Charlesworth, prefaced his
report with a note of warning TO the

There is no effort. so far as l am aware,
on the part of other lines to boycott us,
and rumors to that effect are unfounded.

Chairman Caldwell, and he recognizes

Preparations Being Made for an
Extraordinary Increase.
The indications are, SO it is stated at
railroad headquarters in st. Paul, that
there will be tremendous rush from
these parts to the worlds fair on the
$40 rate which goes into effect Friday
and lasts three days, tickets good to re-
turn up to and including Oct. Is. The
worlds fair managers expect an attend
ance on Monday of 100000 people. and
Minnesota will furnish its share of the
number. so say our railway men. The
rate is practically 50 per cent of the old
One-way ticket for the round trip. and
reductions corresponding to the reduc-
ton from the Twin Cities are made
throughout the Northwest. The Omaha,
St. Paul road, Burlington, Great West
ern, Wisconsin Central and Albert Lea
route. though all supplied with large
equipments. will be taxed to their ut
most limit to accommodate the travel of
Friday, Saturday and Monday. 1t is
expected that these three days will be
the busiest ever known at the union
depotS of ST. Paul and Minneapolis.
