time happened TO own most of the grain. The

THE GREAT RE UNION.

The Confederate Reunion at Mem
phIs excels by reason of the number in
attendance, largely any previous year,
and the great big hearted hospitable
people of Memphis have done every
thing in their power to entertain the
vast coucourse of people But the truth
was that the Immense crowd was too
big for Memphis and the result was
that some suffered discomforts. Tues.
day, the opening, was cloudy, with &C.
casional showers, and shivering cold in
the morning and at night. On We'd
nesday the sun shOne out bright and
beautiful, and everything was conduct
ed with grand and glorious results,
There was an attendance estimated
at from 100000 to 10000. The last dav

was so crowded that it is calculated
that several thousand could not find ac.
commodations, house or shelter.

COWS; SMOD GEESE.

In Bohemia when geese are to be
driven long distances to market they
are shod for the journey. The method
OF shoeing is as simple as it is effective
The geese are made to walk repeatedly
over patches of tar mixed with sand.
This forms hard crust on their feet,
which enables them to travel great dis
tances without becoming foot sore Even
more useful than SHOES for geese are
the spectacles worn by the cows that
feed on the Russian steppes. Forty
thousand specialized cattle are now to
be found in that region where the snow
lies white for six months in the year.
The cattle pick living from the tufts
OF grass which crop above the snow.
The sun shines so dazzlingly upon the

mails formerly suffered from snow blind

person to manufacture smoke colored
srectacles for the cattle. He tried the
experiment and it was successful.

 siderable net losses and all of the ear
 Her gains wiped out. The principal
 recovery in Amalgamated Copper and
 the decided rebound in the price of raw
 copper in London. The reaction was
 based on the gold exports and appre-
 hensions. that the presidents message | to be sent to congress tomorrow would 1 take strong grounds against great com | binations of corporations with unfavor- able effect upon the market value of | their shares.
 | A furry developed in the call money market late in the day which accen- ] tuated the weakness in the closing deal ings in stocks. Professional bear oper- ators were active in the decline and followed vigorous manipulative tactics,
 but they met with little resistance to
 their efforts in the way of supporting orders and the market was apparently
 left unprotected. The resultant uncov- ering of stop loss orders dislodged some large amounts of stock, especially amongst the industrials the trans-con-
 tinental railroads and the Vanderbits,
 which have been lifted on persistent
 reports of deals and mergers. The vio-
 lence of the recovery in raw copper in London pointed to the conclusion that
 Saturdays demoralized break was due to speculative short selling or that later information was changed from that which prompted the selling. The re- covery in Amalgamated Copper reach ed to 76 3-8 but the stock slumped again to 72 3-4, helping to upset the market. Louisville and Nashville Southern Railway preferred, Southern Pacific and Sugar were prominent features of the upward movement and Long Island became strong and active at an ad- vance of 3-4. The announcement of gold exports to the amount of $1,750 900 was the turning point of the market although considerable resistance was offered to the decline after the an nouncement was made. The outward movemen of gold had been generally expected and spectators for the ad- vance tried to helittle its importance. Their efforts were partly successful un- til the party of reaction was reinforced by the anxiety over the effect of the presidents message and possible con- gressional action on the subject of com binations and the furry in call money. The earlier ease of the money market and the lateness of the hour at which the rise in rates occurred gave rise to the suppostion that it might be partly due to manipulation. There was a large disbursement of dividends and interest during the day, but the effect of such disbursements is likely to be somewhat belated in the New York money market. There was a drop in New York exchange at Chicago to 40 | cents discount, which indicated some renewed requirements for fund at that
