CATTLE-There was a very light run Of
cattle here this morning for a Tuesday, and
in fact the supply was the smallest II has
been at this time of the week since last
July. The general impression was that the
receipts were somewhat effected by the
fact that this Is election day.
There was about the usual number Of
cornfed steers on sale, and while there was
not much hange in the prices paid, still
the market was rather slow. II took buyers
and sellers some time to agree on terms
and the fact that the most OF the offerings
were of rather common quality, of course,
had a tendency to make the market slow.
The COW market showed very little change
from yesterday. There was, perhaps, not
the activity that has characterized the
kinds sold at right around yesterdays
prices without much trouble.
Bulls, veal calves and stays also brought
steady prices IL the quality was at all good.
Common bulls. though, were hard to sell.
There were comparatively few stockera
and feeders In the yards, and as the de-
mand was fairly liberal the market was
fully steady on desirable grades. The COM
mon stun was more or less neglected, the
same as usual.
Packers took hold in fairly good shape OF
the few western beef steers that were Of
fered and paid just about steady prices
for them. The better the quality the easier
the cattle were to sell, but still all kinds
could be quoted steady. Western feeders
brought fully steady prices, with the better
grades in active demand. Range cows also
sold in yesterdays notches without dim.

THE government decided to transport
SIS, 900, 900 from New Orleans. 1t was hrst

was assuming a great risk. Til cabinet
discussed the matter carefully, and IT was
finally decided that the safest way would
be by water, The members OF the cabinet
saw that there was a chance of a holdup
II the money was brought by train.
The United States ship Swatara was
first designated to carry the money, but
1t was found that 1t would be inadequate
to transport the whole amount, SO the
wooden sailing steamer Yantic was pressed
into service to help out. We removed
from swatara it's magazines. The shells
from the shell room were removed, as
we're also the sails from the sail room,
SO that all available space was utilized
for packing the coin. The only weapon OF
defense was a Calling gun.
THE money was conveyed from the min
to the vessel in wagons. A squad OF Sc
cret service officers watched the work.
The two vessels were in tow and the TRIP
from New Orleans to the Washington navy
yard occupied a little over four days. Con-
siderable wind was encountered of Hat
teras, but otherwise the trip was without
Ancident. The money was carried from the
navy yard to the treasury by an express
company.
'The money was in boxes of 1000 each

money was in silver dollars, or the greater
