day on account fthe marked consumption
of strength in the market yesterday. A
continuance of the Improvement was evil
dent at the opening this morning in spite
OF the decline In prices on the London ex-
change, and a general advance occurred,
not exceeding a fraction In any of the
active shares. New Jersey Central con-
t,nued under heavy pressure to sell. The
bears continued to center their attack on
this stock all day in determined and sys-
tematic attempt to stem the upward course
of prices. From this stock they made in
cursions into industrial fields. The Gould
stocks were attacked as a group, Manhat-
tan falling two points and Missouri Pacific
and Western Union one each. This in
duced some realizing sales, but the market
soon recovered and resumed its upward
tendency. Much was made also by the
bears Of the statement by Senator Cullom,
chairman of the committee on Interstate
commerce, that there was no chance for
the passage of the pooling bill al this ses-
sion of congress. The whole market sold
off. The closing was weak net losses
averaging a point in the standard shares.
Trading in bonds was in small volume,
but firm tone was manifested and most
of the leading issues made slight progress
toward flgher plane. Sales, $685.. .O00. Gov
ernment bonds continued to display
strength, but the higher range failed TO
elicit offerings and transactions were re-
stricted TO purchases of 81 900 Of the old As.

Meat Inspection

A new order issued by the secretary
OF agriculture has just gone into effect
In the United States. 1t provides for
the inspection of all beef, fresh or salted,
offered for transportation to European
ports. All such beef, whether canned
or packed, must hereafter be accom-
panied by an official certificate of a de-
partment inspector, showing that the
cattle from which it was produced were
free from disease. Meat from other
species of animals which does not bear
inspection stamps must be packed in
such a way as to show from what spe-
cies of animal it was produced No
meat not complying with these require
ments will be allowed to be exported to
European ports.
1t is to be hoped that these stringent
measures will renew European conf
dcnce In American exports of meat, and
that especially those countries which
have put in force prohibitive laws
against American beef may once more
become our patrons.
