South st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. Y, l899.
CATTLE-There has been heavy run
of cattle this week. and lower prices all
along the line. Common stock cattle
have been almost unstable and there
were entirely too many Of this kind
among this weeks receipts. The good
stockers are from 20 to so cents lower
than last week. Butcher stuff has held
about steady on the best grades-medium
stuff at about 10 to Is cents lower. There
will likely be good receipts of cattle right
along now and shippers must expect the
common and medium stuff to sell poorly,
and should govern themselves accordingly
when buying such stuff in the country.
The buyers here will not buy the poorer
class of stuff while the good ones last.
The demand for good heifers held up all
the week, but prices today are 10 to 10
cents lower than Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Bulls held steady until yesterday,
when the buyers took off about 10 to 20
cents.
We quote: Best fat steers, $475 to $525;
fair to good fat steers, $425 to $475; rough
fleshy steers, $40 to $4.15; best cows and
heifers, 1913 to Sl.25; fair to good cows
and heifers, 1926 to 1913; medium fleshy

wire us: THE market has shown great
strength along certain lines, but the up
ward tendency seems based more upon
short covering and the replacing OF forced
sales than upon any newly developed de-
mand. Brooklyn Rapid Transit has had
a really wonderful recovery, but the same
arguments as to earnings still apply as
were in use when the stock was first at
tackled. During the general weakness of
yesterday and Wednesday the Standard
Oil party bought heavily, and their .pur-
chases have had a most beneficial effect.
There has been some outside buying also,
and today the conditions surrounding
money seem to be distinctly easier. Mon
ely has come here and the offerings on
time are more plentiful. We recognize
that this is all in the right direction and
that there is no reasonable doubt that
all stocks bought now will pay very hand
so1nely in December and January. But
we don't think we are by any means
through with this state of high priced
money, and we do not think we have the
market. Railroad earnings and general
business ali warrant ultimate improve
ment, but the present seems premature
to US"

"Cut and run" originated in a pc
culiar custom of the Egyptian embalm-
ers A low caste was employed to make
the first incision in the corpse, a process
viewed with much dislike by the peo-
pie. who held him %accursed who should
mutilnte the dead. AS o as the fell
low had made his ''cut' he had to run
through a storm of curses, stones and
sticks. He ''cut" for a living and had
to run" TO save his life.
The true origin of the expression 'to
dun a man is curious. In the reign of
Henry VII a bailitf of Lincoln named
Joe Dun was SO active and clever in
collecting debts that it became a prov
erb when a person tired to avoid pay
ment. ''Why don't You Dun himT'
''Hobson's choice" is derived from
one Hobson, who used to let out horses
for hire, and who obliged every person
who wanted one to take that next the
stable door, being the one that had TAX
en- the most rest. Chicago Tribune.

America In Old World Eyes.

"Last year" says the Chicago
Times-Herald. '"the United States oc-
cupied only A pages of the space in the
worlds great annual, The Statesman's
Year Book, and these followed Turkey
in the alphabetical arrangement of its
contents This year 2S2 pages and four
maps are devoted to what amounts to a
comprehensive register and review OF
,ur government, politics. m
industry, social condition, resources
and progress, And as if to emphasize
the new departure the new data pre-
:ede all the rest and have a special in

ton wrought in the old world attention
