Must Be Bonded.

A w sNington dispatch has the fol-
lowing that will be of interest in this
city:
The secretary of tie treasury has
adv ( oll.c tor of customs at ports
where works of manufacturers engage
ed in the smelling or refining of me-
tails from imported ores are Onded that,
as the tariff act of July, 1895, differs
from the act of 1894, it is deemed adj
visable to require the rebondage of
such works. Under the old law it was
provided thai each day quantity of
refined metal equal to the amour, Of
imported metal, smelted or refined that
day should be set apart and should not
be removed from the works except for
transports tion to other bonded pre-
misses or for expectation. Under the
new law it is provided that each day a
quantity of the refined metal equal to
80 per cent OF the amount of the i'm
ported metal smelted or refined that
day shall be set aside. Another point
of difference is that no time WAS speci-
fed in the act of 1894 within which the
refined me al should be exported. In
the new law it is required that, in re-
spect to lead ore imported the refined
metal shall either be export d or en-
tered for consumption, and the duties
paid thereon within six months from
the date of the receipt of the ore.

son that it would be wise policy for
every stockmau andsfarmer in SOUTH

carefully. That it should be possible
for any cattlema1 in these times to be
ignorant of the great advance in prices
that has taken place during the past
year is difficult to comprehend for
those of us who are in ally t1uch with
the market. But doubtless there i

does not look between The covers of a

total stranger to the market column
They ara the ones who like Mr.. JOhn
son OF Lipan Flats have sold their cat
tie at the prices that ruled during the
depressed periods Of several years back,
realizing all the way fr:'m oue-half to
one fourth of their actual value. The
men who are making the money today
are those who are keeping in daily
touch with the market, who are posted
on every turn in the situation and
prepared to take advantage Oft. They
are the men who buy the newspapers
and read the market columns. On
such market as we have had during
