The cough, or puff, of railway en-

moving slowly the coughs can, of
course, be heard following each other
quite distinctly, but when speed is put
on the puffs come ont one after the
other much more rapidly, and when Is

cannot be separately distinguished by

Mr.. Nelson made long speech
on the question Of expansion. He
snid that the people of the terri

we had perfect right to acquire

right been disputed. There was

CATTLE-The exceedingly light re-

prise to the trade, both on beef cattle
and on stockers and feeders. A number
of buyers for stock cattle were compelled
to go home without being able to fill their
orders.
The market On all grades of good cattle
has been very strong and our market
second to none. The fair and common
grades of cattle have also sold very well,
owing to the scarcity of good cattle, but
we would respectfully advise shippers
to handle nothing but the very best quail

lected.

What j. G. Allen Says About the Ac-
ton of Chicago Conference.

y" HtNA ~ ~. AAAcH says ABOUT tnc AC-
tiOn of Chicago Conference.
In speaking of his difficulties with the
Chicago conference of the North Allan
tic pool, j. G. Allen, the Third street
steamship and railroad agent, said yester-
day:
The methods of the branch during the
past fifteen years have been the source
OF constant complaint by Twin City
agents. The conference is supposed to
regulate business and fine offenders. AS
a matter of fact, the Eastern roads have
been allowed TO do as they pleased, and
agents of Western roads, in trying to
meet competition, have had to break
over the rules. In each case of a viola
ton the Eastern roads have escaped, and
the Western agents have been fined For
this reason I withdrew from the confer
ence for good and sufficient reasons. and
they afterwards retaliated Members of
the conference come here in the fall. and
IN two weeks, working in conjunction
win agents OF Eastern roads, notably the
Lehlgh Valley, disrupt rates and ruin the
enects of our previous ten months work.
We can't maintain rates under these con-
dltlons, and for this reason 1 withdrew.
Protests were of no avail, and that was
the only way to meet the condition.
What Twin City steamship and railroad
agents want is the cooperation of the
western roads in order to keep out these
parties who annually try to DESTROY our
business

NEW YORK, May 19.-The stock mar
ket was abandoned almost wholly to
professional traders on the floor of the
exchange. No outside demand of any
Importance was apparent at any point in
the list. Prices were marked up sharply
at the opening on a demand from the
shorts, who sold the specialties yesterday.
Sugar, Brooklyn Trinsit and the Flower
group generally showed the largest gains,
the buying being obviously for the short
interests Anaconda Mining showed
strength, both in London and here which
was well maintained throughout the day,
and the tone Of Manhattan was also

count for it.
being satisfied, prices slipped away, but
without any pressure to sell. The dull
ness at the decline seemed to impress
the professionals with the idea that the
reaction was over, and they turned buy
ers, again marking prices up especially
in Sugar and Brooklyn Transit. But it
became quickly evident that the large
bull interests which were active early
In the week were not prepared to re-
sumo operations and the advance did
not hold. The absence of any demand
for stocks caused the traders to turn
bears again, and the market sagged and
drifted quite aimlessly for the balance
of the day. The short sales by the
traders were covered before the close,
bringing prices In great many cases.

There was rather a sharp decline in To-
bacco in the last hour, with which the
professionals associated rumors regard

stocks which was manifest in yesterday s
trading was lacking today and that de-
partment of the market was very dull
comparatively, but quite firm at some
points The grangers showed weakness,
which is attributed to the continued ru-
mors of crop damage.
London bought a few stocks in this
market, but took no active part owing
to the pending holidays there In spite
of the small buying by London sterling

ior points are of large cash reserves on
