AMERICANS STEADY

Loan to Germany Caused Talk of
Dearer Money-Hard Coalers
... Sold Of on the Strike.
REPTRnIC SPFC1AI.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Sept. 1.-THE London market
was somewhat heavy to-day and operators
were inclined to take an unfavorable view
Of the Chinese situation. The general mar
ket was lower and Consols rather heavy
at sslac.
American stocks were steady. but mostly
below parity. There was no change in the
money position in London, but some de-
mand was experienced in Berlin. Exchange
In Paris and Berlin was fractionally lower
In the local market the announcement Of
a loan Of s2O.cce go to Germany and the out
flow of money to other centers for the
movement OF crops caused some talk Of
dearer money. and the general tone was
weaker than for some little time past. The
hard coalers sold off ON the strike and
showed some little decline on the day In
spite of reasonably good buying at the low
er levels. London sold the international list
20 the extent of some 5000 shares, but
with this exception there was very little
stock offering. Peoples Gas rallied on some
talk of compromise in Chicago, but sold
off later with the rest of the market. Su-
gar after being bid up by the pool, broke
sharply under pressure said to come from
lower Wall street. The movements in
Brooklyn Transit seemed to be based al
most entirely upon traders manipulation
and little Importance was attached 10 thein
The close generally was heavy with the in
dustrials and fractions near the lowest OF
the day.
The possibilities of the coal strike arous-
ing sympathy elsewhere weakened the soft
coalers. Stocks declined on comparatively
small sales, and it looked as If The larger
interests were not unwilling TO allow the
market TO ease of d little in the hope that
somewhat lower levels would attract busi-
ness.
The Galveston disaster and the shortage
of the cotton crop are apparently affecting
the market rather more than was expected
at one time. The betting on the election
bear house accepting such short odds as
s22 900 against $4,000, while a leading bull
operator bet $24, 90 against 5000. The coal
strike seems to be spreading rather rapid
ly, although It is not supposed to begin
formally until Monday. General Electric
directors did not touch the question of

Before the demand for feeding lambs

Sheep Breeder. The professional lamb
feeder does not object to this. He
knows full well that, q start once

after, and q few pounds gained BY Inn
mediate attention will tell when the
lambs are disposed Of by the hundred.
It Is q very sure thing that the more
attractive lot OF lambs may be the
Dor they will be sold. 1t costs the
buyer some money to be running
around seeking something that meets
his needs exactly, and 1t Isl a sure thing
that he Will not be hunting over the
country for better bargains when he
sees Just what he wants. and he will
rather add a little to his limit than risk
going farther and faring worse.

DANGEROUS BREEDING.
Striving For Pedigree at the BE
pense Of Individual Merit.

& Striving For Pedigree at the Ex-
pense OF Individual Merit.
One ofathe tendencies Of breeders to-
day is to produce a fine pedigree, says
The National Stockman. a noted name
in It's pedigree helps to sellsan animal.
If 1t appears more than once, the pedi-
gree is still stronger :, and 1t As an
easy course Of reasoning to the conclu-
sion that the more times this name APP
pears the better the pedigree; hence
the mor desirable the animal. OF
course such pedigree building a
f~nbreeding, one of the most common
sources Of disaster to breeders. It is
true that inbreeding has produced won
derful results In the hands Of q few
masters, but 1t was necessary with
them to produce their type. Nova
daysit is not necessary. Type is not
confined to one family or branch Of
that family. It can be had and inn
proved without resort to the dangerous
methods of earlier breeders.
Another mistake closely allied to the
above is to give undue Importance to
certain strains of blood. In Short
horns, for example, the presence Of
Scotch tops has such an influence that
1t often sells an inferior animal for the
price Of q good one. The buyer Of such
pays too much for a pedigree TINT
somebody has built; he pays too much
for family. He departs from the rule
OF Cruikshank himself, who founded
the useful families now SO popular on
the best individuals he could find re
CARELESS of fashion. in their pedi-
grees. He worked upon the principle
that the surest indication Of good
breeding Is a good Individual. The In
dividual was the important thing with
him, and It should be with all breed
ers; then the fancier the pedigree the
better. $3.50 M@
