continued decrease in shipments Of tin

tinplates. amounted to y 5d tons. against

In nine. months this year the value Of
British exports to this country, including

Perhaps the most surprising and un-
doubtedly the most gratifying feature Of
Tuesdays republican victories is the re-
suit in Nebraska. The loss Of Nebraska
two years ago was perhaps the most dis
agreeable outcome Of the presidential
campaign to the republican managers at
New York and Chicago. Yet conditions
there in 1896 made the success Of the free
silver coinage coalition wholly intelligi-

Shrinka1e In Cattle.

Cattle, milch cows and other cattle,
which means range or range cattle, are
now 7,9SS,OOO less in number than four
years ago. In 1894 the total number was
53,O95,568. This number has grown
23,OOO,OO0 in fourteen years, and had in
creased yearly except in the drop $780,
3O7 from 1892, when there were N,O59,-
500. This heavy decrease Of almost o.
100000 cattle from the large number in
1892, is almost altogether in range or
ranch cattle, relates the Philsdelphis
Press. The duty on hides was expected
to check this decrease. 1t has not yet.
The falling off in cattle began with Ger
man opposition to onr meat supply. bu'
this was transitory. The real reason
probably is, that as the far west fills NJ
the land can be put to better use than
as a cattle range,
