THE MAJORS TOUGHEST WALK

Glacier and He Didn't Get Along.

glasses, a light overcoat, an umbrella
and q book describing The glOries of
California 1 contented myself with
carrying small hamper, and more
than once found myself wondering
how my companion dared attempt the
trip.

Mountains of the Moon. l assembled
Pcpocatapetl and I have crossed the
Sahara on foot. Why. sir. I could run
up little hill like Hamalpais blind
folded. and not even pause to wipe my
forehead"
We said no more on the subject, and
finally reached LarkSpur, where we be-
gan TO make the ascent
At the station. the thermometer reg
istered 20 degrees, but by the time we
had finished the first quarter of the
ascent it seemed almost a thousand
Presently We arrived at a point about
half way up the mountain, and the
major suddenly came to a halt. He
again waved his arms about and then
sat down.

hopping his brow.

DISEASE Of CATTLE.
Secretary Wilson Notifies Railways and Trans
portation Companies as to Regulations.

Washington, Dec. 2f.-Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson has issued a circular to
railways and transportation companies no
tifying them that a contagious and infec-
tious disease known as splenia or southern
fever exists among cattle in region south
of line beginning at the northwest cor
ner of California, thence east, south and
southeasterly along the boundary of Cali
fornia, southerly along the western line of
Arizona, thence along the southern boun-
diaries of Arizona, and New Mexico north
erly to Colorado, along the southern border
of Colorado, Kansas and Tennessee to Vir-
ginia, along the northern boundary of Vir-
ginia to the Atlantic ocean. From January
Is to June Is of each year no cattle are
to be transported from south of this line
to any portion of the United States north
of the line by rail or boat, except for i'm
mediate slaughter In the course of trans
portation they shall be fed, watered and
shipped apart from other cattle, and on
their arrival pending slaughter they shall
be isolated. The cars carrying such cattle
shall be placarded.
All cars, boats, vessels etc, on which the
cattle shall have been must be disinfected.
Notice is given that the cattle infected
with southern tick disseminated this fever
and when found outside the district men,
toned shall be considered and treated as
infectious cattle. The above is the general
quarantine line fixed by the agricultural
department, but by special orders Secre-
tary Wilson has accepted the quarantine
lines for California, Arkansas, Tennessee
and Virginia, fixed by those states, and
they are adopted by the department for
the period beginning January 10, 1893, and
ending November 10, 1898. These lines in

ruled strong today, the opening cables
from Liverpool showing advance. in that
market, while the closing cables showed
still higher market, being from u to 70
higher than yesterdays close. In our
market the May option opened at sSes 10
93h. which was the low point for the
day. advanced steadily until 1T reached
94k, receded to 93B, and again rallied
and advanced to 941s, where 1T remained
steady at the time of Writing. half past
the noon hour. Receipts in the north
west today were light and thu demand
for wheat continues large, serving to give
additional strength to the market. New
York exports to-day were 1856, Ill bushels,
corn 1854 bushels and oats 19974O
bushels. Total cbeadancss of wheat and
flour equal to 3O1 900 bushels of wheat.
The provision market opened steady
with receipts of hogs 100000 Cattle re-
ceipts 5000, market steady. The raising
of the French import duty on hog pro-
ducts caused slump in the provision
ma rket, pork declining about 10 points,
but recovering slightly. Cudehy sold

Markets by Telegraph
Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 2.-The semblance of ac-
tivity that the cotton market developed
yesterday disappeared today. Liverpool
was one-half sixty-fourths higher. The
opening here was quiet, but irregular, with
prices varying from one point below to one
above last nights closing figures. After
the opening, in spite of very heavy port
receipts, the market held well. The in
vestment buying continues steady. May
opened at $50, advanced to 592, declined
to $50 and closed at $50 to sol, with the
tone of the market quiet and steady. If
receipts continue on the present scale we
fear lower prices.

e New York, Dec. 21.-In the dry goods
market the store trading has been of a
thoroughly active character today. Mail
orders were, as usual on Tuesday. quite
slow in arriving, and those that were re-
ceived called for fair amount of goods.
The general tone of the market is hopeful
with selling in the main strong in the be-
lief that there will be increased sales for
the spring trade; fairly satisfactory con-
ditions prevail. In staple cottons the bulk
of the trading is, of course, in the bleached
lines, which have lately been reduced, sell
ers being anxious to fill up stocks on these
goods before the inventory process is en-
tered upon. For this reason they are buy
ing quite freely to such an extent that in
some quarters leading bleached eottons are
quoted Eat value" Brown goods are thor
oughly strong and in relatively active re-
quest.
In print cloths there is still no sale Of
