THE SUNDOWNE Err.
shrewd Traders Pick Up Bargains In
the Cow Market.

To the average visitor at the wen
known stockyards In Brighton. Mass.
the chief object OF interest Is the large
stock barn. The large rows Of stalls
provide accommodations for hundreds
of cattle. and the room Is about all
needed during the busy seasons OF the
year. On Tuesday and "Wednesday OF
each week this barn is the scene OF
great activity. says American tuitiVa-
tor. The cattle arrive by train from all
parts OF New England ana New York
state. They are brought in mostly by
traders who make a business of buying
from farmers or at auctions ana sell
In Brighton. Any one. however, IS al
lowed 10 use the barn and sell his own
cattle II lie wishes to do so. Some who
live near by drive In their own cows
and sell them direct. thus saving the
middleman's profit, although their own
lack Of trading experience may often
Offset the apparent gain.
No dealer likes to carry over cows
from week to week. The rent OF the
stalls is for the market days only and
includes feed for that period, and also
the COW, II kept over. Is a week further
along In milking.
This consideration is the cause and
encouragement of the ''sundowner.
The term Is applied to the shrewd trad
ers who stay away while buying is ac-
tive and appear at the last moment and
pick up bargains just as dealers are be
ginning TO fear they must keep over
some Of their cows. The "sundowner
drops in late Wednesday afternoon and
often buys cows at low prices. He is
usually a country resident and trader
and takes his purchases out home to
sell them at profit. The cows left
over TO the last are not the most de
sirable as a rule, Once in awhile at a
dull market a few good cows will be
left over to the la st. and then real bar
gains are TO be found.

RoJESTvsNSkY ACQUITTED.
Held to Be Not in His Full Senses
When He Surrendered to Japs.

Cronstadt, Russia, July 11.-Admiral
Rojestvensky, whose trial on the
charge of surrendering to the enemy
after the battle of the Sea of Japan
began before courtmartial here July
4, has been acquitted after the court
had deliberated for nearly ten hours.
Four officers of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Bedovi, who were placed Oh
trial with the admiral, were found
guilty of having premeditatively sur
rendered the Bedovi and all four
were condemned to death by shooting.
But on account of extenuating circum-
stances the emperor will be requested
to commute the sentences of the four
officers to dismissal from the service
and to be deprived of certain rights
which they would otherwise enjoy.
The full report OF the courtmartial
shows that Admiral Rojestvensky was
acquitted on the ground that he was
not in his full senses and therefore
was not accountable for what trans
pired at the time of the surrender.
