Al Ffsh with Feet.

A unique specimen of ocean life has been captured at Honolulu for the United States fishing vessel Al batross, cruising in that vicinity. It is a small fish which has four feet. They are webbed like the feet of frog, and are apparently the link be- tween foot and fin. The specimen is said to be one of a few such fish found in the world. .-Boston Budget

Manipulation by Pools at the Opening
Close Active and Weak.
[Meyer & Kiser's Telegram.l

Meyer & Kiser's Telegram
NEW YORK, March 10Th market was
hesitating in tone at the opening and there
was evidence Of pools working their spe-
cialties In order to attract public interest.
This brought about some activity in the
specialties, when prices hardened and con-
siderable strength was shown. There was
no new influence to affect values, but the
absence Of any selling pressure, which has
been the markets characteristic for some
time, helped to keep prices firm. Rumors
Of a new combination in the Northwest
were responsible for the strength in st.
Paul and Rock Island. About the noon
hour news from London stated that Gen
eral Methuen had been captured by the
Beers and considerable pressure to sell fol-
lowed. In the afternoon session there were
evidences OF pool manipulation and strong
efforts were made TO support the market,
but a reactiOnary tendency followed the
selling pressure OF the general list. which
closed weak, showing losses of from one to
two points.

Hogs-Receipts, 100; shipments

1lOBS-INCCtlBAcg tNys EAilBlllonAS none.
There were not enough hogs on the market
to-day to establish n range in prices for
any grade, consequently it would be very
difficult 10 give an accurate account of the
true conditions. There was an absence of
shipping orders, and on account of the very
small supply packers, of course. were not
interested. Consequently the market was
very quiet. and very few transactions were
reported. Mixed hogs averaging IS4 lbs
sold AT 1886, and q little better shaped
loads. averaging 215 lbs. sold at S6.25. which
is probably 5010c lower than equal kinds
solo az the close OF last week. 1t seemed
to be the general opinion that hogs as
good as those at the top price last Friday,
which means selected grades averaging
around 300 lbs, would have sold as high as
500. while a few believed that S6.35 was
as high as anything could have been sold.
Ordinarily light hogs are quOtable as low
as $40. and no doubt IT would have re
quired something fancy 10 bring So. Quo

Prices varied from S.0 to $50; choice
heavy pigs were quoted at $63086.40, with
choice lights worth S606.10. The demand
was strong from both local and Eastern
sources, and is at all times greatly in ex-
