THE SUPPLY OF CATTLE REDUCED
IN OLD MEXICO.
Caused by Free Transportation to
This Country During the Past
Two Years-At the Yard.
With Stock.

The free expectation of cattle from Old
Mexico to this country the past two years
Is telling upon the supply of cattle there
The first order OF Secretary Morton al
lowing stock cattle to be imported frea
from Old Mexico found many cattle there
waiting for an opportunity to get out, and
holders were quick to let them come. They
went into Texas by the tens Of thousands,
and the surplus cattle In that country has
been pretty well exhausted.
Taylor & Brown, of Chihuahua had in a
train Of cattle yesterday. Mr.. Taylor ac-
companied the shipment. He says tho
number Of cattle exported from his country
to the United States will not be more than
half as large as last year. "Our firm that
shipped 1000 cattle las; year will not ship
over 5000 this year" He says cattle are
scarce and higher in Old Mexico now than
for some years,

Our Boston Letter.

BosToN, Mass, September, +, 1896.
The stock market during the past week
has been alternately weak and strong.
but, on the whole il has favored the
bulls finishing the week quite firm. After
the advance 10 was natural 10 expect
realizations by speculative holders. The
market seemed 10 absorb these sales
very readily aud as there has been no
pressure Of holidays upon the market.
rallies were in order aud were not tardy
in appearance. The influx OF gold seems
TO have taken on new life and addition
al shipments are now on the way which
will bring the total we'll up towards the
100000 mark. IL is rumored that
arrangements have been made for the
Importation Of from twenty to thirty
millions more gold The Bank of Eng
land this week raised its discount rate
from , per cent 10 p! per cent. which is
the first time the rate has varied from y
per cent in about two and one half YEAR,.
the longest period in the banks history
t)r a continuous ? per cent rate. The
Bank OF England, also. has reduced its
price for American gold and apparently
is doing every thing TO favor the exporta.
ton OF gold to the United States in pre.
terence TO the continent which has been
calling on Eugland for the yellow metal
recently. Aside from this favorable fact
or (the gold imports) the stock market
has been helped by the bright outlook in
the political arena aud the growing be
lief in Mr.. Mckinley's success at the fan
elections.
The copper market seems to have
been "pegged, as the board say, whep
the insiders step in and arrest the decline
of stock by buying all that is offered at
a certain figure. Lake ingot holds a,
10Y a 1O7s cents and other brandsin pro-
portion on an Exceedingly small move
ment in domestic orders. The bulk oil
the business still comes from aboard and
holds up this market which, without
this foreign demand. would soon crum-
bic and decay from inactivity. la con.
