SCARCITY OF BEEF CATTLE.


You see, said one Of the promAS
ncnt cattle dealers of Philadelphia,
good stock will be high until the
Fourth of July, if know any thing
ABOUT the market. for jus. now out
of the hundred car. loads of steera.
AL are picked ap from the interior
Of Pennsylvania, save, perhaps, q
dozen cars fall. Cattle are scarce
all over the country just now, and,
as the farmers raise stock to make
money, when it doas not pay they
quit raising, and that's the secret
Of the present high prices. Tue
great cnttle raising States Of Kan
sas, Nebraska aud Iowa were
scourged with a drouth last sum
mer, the corn crop was short, and
grass proved failure. SO cattle be-
gan getting scarcer, until now il 4

dealers have to hustle, aud all the
good old farming counties III this
State, like Lancaster, Lebanon aud
Berks. are secured from end to end,
and the result is that Philadelphia
lust now is eating lots of corn fed
cattle of its own Commonwealth.
Said one of the veteran dressed
meat dealers: "I,'s beginning e
come 40 10 the times of 1881, when
we paid lOc pound for live cattle
and they were hard to get at that
but the cause then WAS the war de-

and when | first began some OF tbs
best folks in the city were satisfied
with 4 choice piece of orisket where
now even the poorest mechanic
most have his sllloin, and as there
is not much more than enous sh
genuine slrloln in stock here tc
supply the hotels and eating houses
there is lot OF people ia this bie
town who are getting cuts OF all
sorts of steak and thinking 1t choice

buy the horse IN one ton, secretly,
for $4,000 The trade was made
between the tenderfoot and the
ostensible owner Of the stallion. ON
basis of $25, 900, the tendrrfoot
putting up So, 500 and the expert
$l2,500 $50 the tenderfoot be
lieved). The result was that the
expert made $4,000 clear and still
owned one. half of the stallion,
which he finally disposed of to his
partner for $4,000, leaving him q
clean $l9, 500 on the deal. This ia
as true as gospel. and were | TO
mention the name Of the horse it
would be recognized by every man
who knows the trotter.
A great many of the fancy sad
dlers and coach horses seen in the
parks in New York and Pmladel-
phia are brought mp at the Ken
tncky sales by shrewd dealers, who
dock their tails, train them few
months aud then ship them East
10 sell to miIlionaires. The Ken
,tucky horse, however, does not
thrive in the cities, aud issoon worn
ont Robbed of his native blue
grass, he gets thin 10 fosh and un-
pleasant TO look upon. Then, per-
haps, the same dealer who took him
East will buy him again al an
enormous reduction, bring him
back to Kentucky, fatteu him up
aud sell him again at a profit. A
certain Kentucky dealer sold a
fancy geloing in New York a year
ago last fall for $500 The ami
NAL was ridden to death and brok-
en- down by bad care, and few
months later was sold IN the same
dealer for $500. The dealer
brought the horee to Kentucky,
turned it out in blue grass pas
Iture for several months, and soon
it was fat and sleek again. Then
the horse was shipped back to
New York and sold for $1,000.

 Buffalo, N. Y, Sept Lone of the most serious fires that has visited Buffalo for several years started in the basement of the Academy of Music at 1 o'clock this morning. At 1:45 o'clock the firemen, be- lieving they had the fire under control, withdrew part of their working force. A few minutes later a blaze broke through the rear of the academy and rapidly spread to the adjoining furniture and hat store of George w. Comstock. This was soon totally destroyed. The flames then spread to Glenny & Sons store, the largest importers of China ware in the United States, and burned through two stories before the firemen were able to drive the flames in the opposite direc- tion, where they found material to feed on in the drug store of Liman & Sloan, the American Express building and Western Union Telegraph company, the three latter places suffering slight dam age
 At this hour the loss is estimated at nearly $75O,OOO, and the fire is not yet un- der control.
 300 o'clock a. m., the fire is now under control. A conservative estimate places the total loss at $7O0,0O0.
