ANOTHER oLD-TIMER LOS
InQuirinE Norwegian Expedition Failn
to Find sRrEassOs Sea at
Home.

Now and then one Of the old standard
properties, so a theatrical person might
call them, of the universe crumples up
and has to be kicked off to one side. Last
1t was Haleys comet; now IL is the Sar-
gasso sea. An inquiring expedition Of
Norwegians, sent out by their governments
bureau of fisheries, have been prying into
the hooks and corners OF the ocean where
the Sargasso sea ought to be. They have
recently returned and reported that they
did not find the Sargasso sea at home.
There are some things that well-brought-
up little boys when they get on IN life
retain their belief in even more than they
do in what they learned in Sunday school.
Here and there point in history, gram
mar, or, as in this case, geography. To
hear that the Sargasgo sea Is no more will
be a great shock to thousands Of the we'll
brought-up little boys OF a few years ago.
They we're firmly convinced, up TO the
very last, that II was a place where the
rank weeds foatsd in long accumulated
Masses almost as thick as hay up IN the
old NOW; here and there might be seen a
derellct hulk, Tor into this slough OF thu
ocean all things drifted; and II whale
were rash enough to eat its way far into
the mess. that rash whale would very likely
perish. unable to make its way out again
through the flotsam.
The Norwegians did find floating sea-
weed. although they missed the congress-
OF dereliots and the fettered whales. The
weed was trifle more plenty, perhaps
than in ocean localities where the current
is brisker But cruise through q whole
gridiron Of ATTITUDES and longitudes failed
70 disclose anything worth going down
there for In the way Of the picturesque
In the end the Investigators concluded that
the weed usually sank few months after
ending its term OF life and so kept the
surface fairly clear OF litter.
The faithful, who refuse to give up their
beliefs will have 70 transfer their sar-
gasso to the floor Of the ocean. II is doubt
full just what becomes OF the ssawesd that
sinks and perhaps It may form fancy gar
dens at great depths. Deep-sea sounding
should solve the point sooner or later. But
II Is time rather that the men OF science
gave US a new wonder, in return for those
that have, like the sargossa, recently been
taken away.-New York Sun

CATTLE-There was q decent run OF
cattle for q Friday, sixty cars being re-
ported in, which makes the total Tor the
week about on par with last week, put
leaves 1t about 100 head smaller than tor
the corresponding week Of last year.
With SO few cattle in sight, the supply
OF beef steers was soon exhausted, Prices
paid were anywhere from steady to strong,
as compared with yesterday, or around log
2c higher on the better grades OF beer
steers.
Cows and heifers commanded good firm
prices as compared with yesterday. They
have been good sellers all week and the
market on that class OF cattle is around
l5925c higher.
There We're not many feeders here today
and few wanted It, being 30 near the

little slow, but, still, there was not very
much change in prices.

CIRCUIT COURT AT MITCHELL
Judge Rules in Favor of Railroad An
Bridge Case-TweIve Divorce
Suits on Docket.

MITCHELL, 8. D., Dec 2.-(special.)-
The session OF circuit court, which began
Tuesday, has been devoted 10 court cases
and the jury was excused for the first
two days on account OF none OF the fury
cases being ready for trial The first
jury case to come up was that OF Dawson
county against the Milwaukee road, on a
petition that was presented the board from
land owners In Mitchell township, request
Ing the Milwaukee company to build A
bridge over roadway which would give
them shorter cut to this city. The sx-
penso Of building the bridge would be about
5000 and the company has fought the re-
quest for about three years. After the
jury had been drawn the attorneys Tor
the company, Preston & Hannett, asked
that the case be dismissed on the ground
that the petition was insufficient. In that
II contained the names Of parties owning
land In the township abutting on the road
way that were not bona fide residents.
and therefore could have no personal in
terest in the petition The court held with
the railroad attorneys and dismissed the
case. There are twelve divorce cases 10

new YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Reactionary Movement in Prices Con-
tinues Throughout Day.
PEssDusM RULES THE MARKET
Conditions Are Not Calculated to In
spire Confidence ana Recent Eff
forts by Bulls Are Proven
Useless.

NEW YORK, Dec 2-The reactionary
movement with which the week In the
stock market began was continued today
material losses being registered throughout
the list Sentiment has apparently taken
very pes8imistic turn and evidence was
forthcoming to account for the setback.
In various lines Of trade, more particu-
larry the steel Industry conditions are not
calculated to inspire confidence and the
offers strong proof that recent efforts to
create publish sentiment have been abortive.
RumOrs were current too, today that the
pool which Is commonly supposed to have
engineered the recent upward movement
had dissolved, leaving a large part Of its
holdings, estimated into the hundreds Of
thousands of shares, unsold.
The comptroller OF the currency sub
mitted another batch of statements Of con-
last Not a few Of these institutions re-
ported a further expansion of loans and
discounts instead of the hoped-for cor
traction.
Recovery was made In the stock market
during the final hour and some fractional
gains were shown, but this was due i'm
measure to short covering. London s
operations here were moderately extensive
Tor both accounts, the balance probably
representing purchases OF about 10000
shares.
European markets were firm. The I'M
perial Bank OF Germany reported a cash
loss Of more than 81, 200, a loan increase
OF S,5O0OO and loss in gold OF almost

SHEEP-The market on fat sheep and
lambs was in the worst condition that Il
has been for long time IL was In fact
ing Il as a rotten market.
The trade has been in a good condition
all the week until toward the close yes
terday when II became apparent that
something had happened TO change buy
ers' Views. This morning Il was very ap-
parent that the trouble lay in the fact
that buyers were filled up on both sheep
and lambs, while, TO make the situation
still worse, there were advices from Buff
falo indicating that the top on choice
lambs there yesterday was only S625, and
that the general situation in the east was
decidedly discouraging. The result was
that packers at this point did not appear
TO want the stuff on sale and the faint ef-
forts they made to buy could hardly be
called a market. Their bids were around
25950c lower than Wednesday, lambs show
ing the most break. On a good deal OF the
stuff they did not even make a bid and,
as noted above 1t was the next thing TO
no market at all
At midday q good share OF the receipts
still remained In the yards unsold. Il
might be noted in this connection that
while the receipts this week have been
small compared to most recent weeks, they
have been larger than for the same week
a year ago by almost 5000 head, More
than that, the arrivals have consisted al
most entirely OF killers, there being very
few feeders included In tho runs. Thus II
Is safe to say that the actual number OF
killers on sale has been larger than was
the case a few weeks ago, when receipts
were more than double what they are now.
Under present conditions, the only thing
that shippers can do is to hold off ship
ping for time until tho market can have
a chance TO clear itself
