ternate displays OF weakness and
strength.
The Continental and London mar
kets showed some firmness after the
early dealings, partly inf-~ynced by
the Rank OF Germany's reduction of
the rate OF discount. Commission
house buying was large in the early
dealing, but, excepting the industrials,
changes were not notable. Tobacco
continued its upward movement until
rumor was disseminated that the
short interests had received intima-
lions that private settlement of
their short commitments could be ar
ranged without recourse to the open
market. Tobacco on the circulation
OF these reports, dropped over IL points
from its high figure of 179, ending with
net loss of fraction. The punish
ment which apparently had been melted
out to the shorts in Tobacco caused
an uneasy feeling among those with
short commitments in Sugar, and was
reflected in covering from time to
time with a resultant rise at one time
of points, the greater part of which
was subsequently lost. The declara-
ton of the regular dividend on Leather
preferred lifted the price over 2 points,
most Of which it lost limitations

Railway and General Electric showed
strength at times, but fell off with the
rest of the market during the profit
taking period in the afternoon The
strength of the anthracite coalers was
attributable to expectation in some
quarters Of an announcement presently
OF a combination among the companies
for restricting the reproduction and
maintenance. Great Northern made
an extreme gain of "a and Third
Avenue 81. The large speculation in
the industrials was in a way response
bic on this, the eve Of a holiday, for
some profit taking, during which most
railways fell off considerably with o
slight recovery in some cases, but the
market closed rather heavy. London
was moderate purchaser on balance,
and the total dealings in the local
market were smaller than yesterday,
although they were in excess of 900, 600
shares.

sssssSsSSssSesSssssssssSsssssssaSs

During the past two or three years
rangemen have been looking more than
ever to the eastern markets for an out
let for their surplus stock, says the
Kansas City Drovers' Telegram. Pos
sibly the commission dealers at the
big horse markets of Kansas City, st.
Louis and Chicago In their search for
new custom are partly responsible for
this. At any rate. the fact remains
that as the years go by the western
owners are looking to the east to take
their surplus stock.
Some of the western owners in look
ing In this direction for market are OF
the opinion that the supply In the
west is too large for the surplus to be
disposed of In this part of the coun-
try. Those who are not posted would
Jump at the conclusion that the short
age of the supply In the east Is more
than overcome by the supply In the
west. The government figures, how
ever, tell a very different story. Sta
tistically speaking, If such an express
sion may be used, there is a place for
every horse in the country, whether II
is the heavy draft horse east or the
wild broncho of the west. The total
number of horses in the entire United
States, according to government fig
ures, on Jan. this year was 1868
the smallest number since 1889. The
numbers of horses and mules reported
in the United States in January for
the last 16 years were as follows:

Lighting a Cigar.

According to an observant Philadel-
phian whose business Is to sell cigars,
the careless smoker is largely respon-
sible for the big dividends match man
ufacturers enjoy.
"Just watch it any time" he remark
ed few days ago, land see If am
not correct. The average smoker of a
cigar will talk or think regardless of
his weed until it goes out. Then he
will suddenly discover the absence of
the fire which makes cigar enjoyable.
Out from his pocket comes a match,
and In an instant it has been struck
and the lighted lucifer placed against
the cigar end.
in his eagerness to get another light,
however. the smoker has, in nine cases
out of ten, forgotten to knock the
ashes off his weed. AS a result the
fame from the match fails to pene-
trate the ash heap. and the match
fame doesn't cut any figure. I've seen
It so many times that don't laugh at
it any more, but 1t must be funny TO
casual onlookers. After this when your
cigars go out before they are consumed
be sure and knock the ashes off before
trying to relight them. Then you will
stand fair chance of securing another
light and at the same time put kink
in the profits of the matchmakers.' -

An nhaerxing pnnnx.

A rector writes from Honiton, Eng
land. to The Spectator to record an in
stance of very high order of intelli-
gence In an animal. of a power of rea-
soning as distinct from any acquired
instinct:
II have a bullpup, aged 10 months,
and a bulldog 4 years old, both of
which live in the house and are great
pets. A short time ago my wife was
i'll, and. though the older dog, owing to
his quiet and sedate way, was allowed
TO enter her room, the puppy was new
er admitted. The nurse could always
tell which dog was at the door, because
the older dog gave one single and gen
tie scratch and then remained quiet,
while the puppy scratched violently
and frequently and whined. The puppy
apparently could not understand why
she was not admitted, and felt her ex-
clusion sorely.
zone day she scratched furiously as
usual. No notice was taken. Present
ly she was heard going fiop-fop down
stairs In few minutes the single
gentle scratch of the old dog was
heard, the door was opened, and there
were both dogs. and, strange to say,
from that time the puppy SO initiated
the scratch of the other dog that 1t
was impossible to tell which was at
the door. Undoubtedly the puppy went
and asked the old dog to show her
how he gained admission. How else
can one explain the factY

This is the way Professor Robertson
the commissioner of agriculture for
Canada. describes what he calls a
good business cow" Her power OF
service will be indicated by certain ex-
ternal points. She should have a large
long udder. of elastic. fine quality; a
mellow. movable skin. covered with
soft. silky hair; long. large barrel,
hoped with fiat ribs. broad and wide
apart; broad Ioin. spreading out into
broad. long bind quarters; an open
twist. with rather thin hips. and lean
heck Of symmetrical length. carrying a
clean cut. fine face. with prominent
eyes. A COW with these points has abil-
ity to serve a man well If she gets a
fair chance. That her calves may have
powers equal to or rather better than
her own care should be exercised In
their breeding. The best blood Of the
breed adapted to the farmers purpose
should be used to enlarge and to lessen
the working capacity to be transmit
ted to her calves

$1,000 printed In great primer type on
the front page of your paper for the
conviction of any person guilty of de-
flaming the general purpose COW.
"Why do | make that bold state
ment? Because she has lifted out of
debt more farmers. 16 to 1, than the
special purpose COWS. She has doae it
in the past ages and will do it for many
more to come. First, she is vastly more
numerous and will be for generations
to come; second, her dual qualities are
being improved. Do her critics ever
stop to think how much easier it is to
raise a general purpose herd, from
1900 pound producers to 5000 pound
producers, than it is to raise a herd of
specials a like amount?
81 did not realize it until / tried it.
Now. if there are so general purpose
COWS to one special purpose COW and
only 25 of the so belong to the pro-
gressive farmers and are being inn
proved. you must admit she is adding
to our wealth vastly more each year
than the other class.
Now, after years of such breeding
and wedding and the building up of
such herd free from kickers. steppers
or hard mixers. with the milk yield
doubled, the testing of each individual
satisfactory. absolutely healthy. raised
on and wonted to the farm. gentle as
kittens and handsome in form and
color and such profit producers that
the debt on the farm has long since
disappeared and peace and plenty
make life worth the liying-I say I'M
der such circumstances is 1t any won
der it makes me sick to think of hav-
ing to sell them to appease the distaste
Of corporation that sees fit to con-
denim a whole class of individuals
because some few members of that
great class have not tested up TO their
idea of a proper standard?
Now, in conclusion, do you wonder
that love and praise the general pur-
pose COW when | have had such a
profitable experience with her? Then,
when see her lifting other young men
all around me into homes on beautiful
farms, costing 500 per acre, and pay
ing for rubber tired surveys and their
families dressing and living In style
equal to the aristocraey of the cities,
am doubly convinced.
"As l got able | experimental along
special lines and convinced myself that
the improvement is so slow and fall
ures so much more common in the
thoroughbred families. on account of
the high tension to which they are al
ready pitched, that nine times out of
ten the young farmer will make fail
ure instead of a success.
81 will save you lots of printing and
manuscript reading by warning those
that have made up their mind to reply
to this that | have not used the term
scrub COW. l. understand a general
purpose COW to be one that gives milk
enough to pay profit and can be dis
posed of Mt any time by a little extra
feeding for beef and that at a profit;
that a special purpose cow is one bred
so strongly in certain lines that 1t prac-
tically eliminates all other character
istics and can produce only milk or
only beef at profit; that a scrub is
one that has no predomInating tend
ency and is a failure for both milk
and beef"
