New York, July 16.-Early events on
the cotton exchange were exciting ana
thoroughly dishearteping to the bull
forces which suffered so severely in Sat
urday's selling movement Nearly ali the
influences bearing on the market were
against improvement. The cables were
weak, the crop news good and the
weather reports nearly al that could
be expected. During the early afternoon
the market was speculatively fat and
featureless. The late phases were not
especially interesting and prices varied
scarcely 4 points. The close was steady
with prices to points net lower

Everybody at tie yards was glad yes
terday because Of the rain and the ef-
feet it viii have on future business.
Rain means more corn, more corn means
more hogs, and more hogs means more
business at the yards. Should there be
very material reduction in the corn
ehop In this section this year, business
ar the yards would suffer accordingly.
THE RIVER TOWNS
The sympathy Of the stock yards men
Is largely with St. Joe in the vicious
fight the Kansas ICY stock yards people
are making on the ST. Joe stock yards
il IS the local opinion that st. Joe has
cut into the profits Of the Kansas city
stock yards nearly 100 per cay. TO sag
nothing about the loss to Kansas City
commission men. Old-time stock yards
men are watching the fight Closely, and
express the belief that Kansas City will
set the worst OF IL.

ANOTHER FIVE DROP
Hogs Were in Good Demand
at a NiCkIe Lower.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.95
Quality Excellent but the
I Quantity Limited.

The Chinese war didn't seem to have
yesterday. Instead of going up with the
news Of disaster at Tien Tsin, It opened
5 cents lower and remained so until the
close. The shippers are beg ming to
think that a war in China is a fake. for
they can't understand why the market
should drop on the eve Of an explosion
in the Orient that may involve all the
nations of the earth. The supply was
very light at the yards yesterday. 1t
is always light on Monday, but it was
unusually light yesterday. The quality
was very good, and 1t wasn't very hard
to dispose of what came in. Dold bought
them all, and wanted more.

 A DOG WITH A SALARY.
ae Is Regularly Employed as Street
 Advertising Agent

One of the familiar sights about the business section and one attracting much admiring attention is a hand some black, curly dog, which walks along with sedate dignity, wearing a nat on his head, spectaeles on his nose. pipe firmly clenehed between his teeth, and bearing a large advertising sign on his back. This canine adyer- Using agent, who attends to his bust- ness with a diligence, perseverance and decorHm which many of his human rivals might do worse than initiate. is named Chester, and is the property of Ernest Jones, who usually accompanies him and who has trained him to the work. Chester is about five years Of age, and is partly Newfoundland, part iy Gordon setter. He has the long, in- telligent face of the setter, with almost human soft brown eyes, and the black, curly coat of the Newfoundland, the white on his breast being the only white about him. He is quite accom- plished, though his training dates but little before Christmas.
