All the cattle here were on sale , the ) ni > st of them being cornfed steers. The market as a whole was In very fair condi tion nnd practically everything sold early In ths day. Cornfed steers seemed to be in good de mand and buyers were out early , so that , ' although holders were pricing their cattle pretty high , the most of them sold early. U h ? market as a whole could be summed up its a good , strong and active market , de- Hlrablo kinds selling to a little better ad vantage than at the close of last week. 1 hero- wore no very choice cattle among the offerings , but branded westerns sold as high as J5.23. Cows and heifers were In good demand nt ntrong prices , and , ns the offerings were ex tremely light , it did not take long lo effect n clearance. Bulls and stags brought steady prices. Veal calves were in active demand nnd a llttlo stronger , chuiuo veals selling up to JG.75. In the stocker nnd feeder market there van not much change to note as regards the general situation. There was very little licro and , as has been the rule ever since the severe cold weather set In , thora was 110 very marked demand. Still there were buyers for desirable stuft nnd a bunch of good yearlings sold up to J4.75. Repre sentative sales : BEEF STEERS. Ko. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

All told there were only sixteen loads of hogs reported In the yards this morning , na against thlrty-ono a week ago. twenty- Boven two weeks ago , and flfty-ono three wtoks ago. The most of the hogs hero were on the light order , and the average quality was far from good according to the Ideas ot buyers. The general market was Just about 5c higher , and while it could hardly bo quoted as active there were so few here that everything was sold and weighed up at an early hour , The light nnd light mixed loads brought J3.n&3.70 today , as ngnlnst J3.55J3.C5 on Sat urday. There wore no choice heavy loads liero to put a top on the market. It will bo noted from the table of average prices at the head of the column that the week starts out with the market about 12140 higher than It was at the opening of last week nnd only a shade lower than the extreme high point of the year.

The personal treatment accorded the sea man by American ships' officers , says a writer In the Forum , Is the most oppressive , because the most acute , feature of his life. Extreme brutality is the rule , almost with out exception. It Is a standing charge against cur maritime law that It requires no qualification other 'than ' that of citizenship on the part of sailing-ship officers. In this re spect the United States stands alone among maritime nations of any consequence. The result Is that the men In authority on board American ships are chosen for their ability to "drive , " 1. e. , to beat , the men. under them , rather than for tholr ability as sea men and navigators. The reputation thus attained finds ita sequence In an esprit do corps leading to the commission of the most wanton brutalities conceivable > by minds trained ito Ingenious methods of Inflicting torture upon their subordinates , nnd unde terred by the fear of consequences , social or legal. The frequent recurrence of seamen's charges against ships' officers , and the mo notonous regularity with which these cha'r'ges are dismissed by the courts , has cre ated a feeling of Indifference , and even scep ticism , on the part of 'the ' public. The charges made by 'tho ' seaman appear Incred ible when Judged by the standard of conduct prevailing on land. But It must be remem bered that the standard prevailing at sea Is one of practical slavery , In which a Legrco Is an actual personification. An investlEution shows that during the last eleven years more than 100 ships' crows have firought charges against their officers I in ports of the United States alone. This list Includes only those casVs that have como I meet prominently before the public. Cliar- i actorlstlc features of this record are : Fit- I teen deaths resulted from the treatment ro- ' colved ; many cases resulted In the loss of limbs , eyes , or teeth , and in other Injuries of n permanent character , Including Insan ity ; several suicides nre attributed to per secution ; only seven convictions were ob tained , and , with one exception , the penal ties Inflicted were merely nominal ; the name of certain ships and their officers recur fre quently in the list. At the present moment an American boy named Amos Stone , a native of Boston , and the eon of respectable parents , Is an Inmate of a lunatic asylum ut Seattle , Wash. , as the result of treatment received at the hands of the officera of nn American ship. Another American boy , Kpralm W. Clark , has been confined in Thomuson ( Maine ) penitentiary for more than twenty-three years for mu tiny under circumstances of the most ex treme provocation , Such cases contain a sufficient explanation of the native Ameri can's aversion to the sea.

Henry Clews , head ot the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. , writes the situation In Wall Htrcet as follows : On the Stock exchange wo have had a week of Irregular movement. Upon the whole selling has preponderated nnd the sellers have been Wit only the profefulonul operators , who appear Inclined to discount a probability of lower prices , but nlso the more prudent "outsiders , " who show : ino abatement ot tholr hitherto sanguine feel ing. There has been perhaps little forced Belling , or realizing under "stop orders , " but simply a softening of the Into confidence In the maintenance of the extraordinarily high range of values and this yielding ten dency In drawing out quite a considerable 'lino ' ot "shorts.

A transitional state ol things la ( thus intro duced , the outcome of which It is not easy to foresee , but it plainly suggests the prudence of operators following a policy of buying nnd selling for quick turns only.

Of the nineteen stocks hero quoted eight een have declined and the average fall haa been 4.3 points. This certainly Is no Im portant decline , considering that prices were at their highest at the earlier date cited and about at tholr lowest on the later date. There are causes which make it remark able that" the decline has net bccti greater. The amount of stocks and bonds that have been sold hero on foreign account within the last six or seven weeks Is extraordinary. From the hcst information obtainable from foreign houses making these negotiations there can be no doubt that since January 1 stocks and railroad mortgages have bsen sent hero from Europe , which , taken at their market value , aggregate J50.000.000 ; be sides which some $8,000,000 additional nro now on their way home ; while the amount exported within the same period has been quite nominal. The wonder is that the pressure of this flood ot supply , steadily pouring in from external sources , has not produced a greater Impression on prices. There may bo room for question whether the market has yet digested and assimilated these- now supplies , or whether , not having yet done so , some further decline is to be expected. Had the money market been in n different position the effect might have been more marked than It was , but with the pres ent plelthora of money the banks are not likely to withubltl any -needful funds for carrying these' securities until they find amore > moro permanent form of ownership. It can hardly bo expected that any important portion tion of 'those ' securities will bo returned to Europe at the present mnge of prices ; there is no Idea , however , among houses directly connected with these realizations that they are intended to bo permanent , hut rather 'that ' any importaut drop In prices would bring out considerable buying orders from London and Berlin. Europe HUH Unloaded. This reflux of Bocuritles does not appear to be duo merely to the condition of the European money markets , nor to any dis crimination against American Investments. The fall , in prices on the New Y-3Tk Stock exchange at the outbreak of the war caused largo purchases of our stocks by London and Berlin and the great rise following the close of the war has yielded handsome profits on the operations , which are now being rea lized. This seems to be the whole * explana tion of the movement , which has not only exhausted the floating supply on ho foreign markets , but also drawn a considerable amount of stocks and bonds out of the hands of European Investors. This movement has afforded a very convenient opportunity for Ltralghtttiing out the large floating Indebt edness of Europe to the United States on trade account and there is evidence that the foreign bankers have used their Influence to Induce , thclr clients to turn It to account. These liquidations , however , can hardly have sufficed to fully olTscii what Europe Is owing us on opoi : account , but they have , for the present at least , averted remittances of gold to this country which might have produced a serious stringency In London and the continental money centers. The long and short of thcso transactions , however , is that Europe is , after a pretty long postponement of payment , settling for its fsod purchases from us by itho remit tance of itB Investments and it Is more for tunate for them than for us that they have been able to do so upon nuch favorable terms. We have the advantage of buying from our creditors a considerable amount of our lung obligations , but the disadvantage of paying a very high premium on them , it Is not easy to see what Just occasion European critics can find for discrediting our invest ments , when , after keeping them a few years they can realize upon ithcni at such handsome advances. Thin experience , how ever , may bo expected to bring these lucky people Into our market again when a now turn In affairs puts down prices at Now York. Notwithstanding that Europe Iras thus liquidated nearly J'0,000,000 of Its Moating obligations to us , there Is probably a largo amount still outstanding. After balancing all Items of the debtor and creditor accounts between ithla and other countries for the year 1898 there must have been simo J150- 000,000 remaining duo to this country. The ( bond and stock remittances of the last elx weeks have but half liquidated that balance and at that rate ithero should still remain n largo sum payable to us on demand In gold , SPOTTHn AS A COXHI'IHATOH. Ietr < In C'lilnooU Which Secretary .Slaiiloii Fnlleil to TraiiHliite. "During our civil war , " remarked William St. John of Now York to a Wash ington Post man , "n prominent member of congress , whoso name I will not mention , fell under suspicion of the War department. It was a ticklish time Juat then , and any man whoso loyalty was not thought up to par by Sojretary Stanton waa watched. It seems that this congressman , who was as innocent of 'treasonable thought or act as a " tabo , got a letter from a great friend ot his , an officer of high rank , who was some where down in Virginia confronting the southerners. "Both the writer of the letter and the recipient had lived many years on the Pa cific coast , and each knew the Jargon known as chlnook , a sort of lingo Invented "by the Hudson Day company for facilitating trade with the Indians. The officer , unfortunately as it proved , in a spirit of fun , wrote his friend in chlnook , and the letter was In tercepted by order of Secretary Stanton , who had authorized this course regarding the congressman's mall. The epistle was opened and there was this outlandish hotch potch of words that no one could make out. Uut Its unintelligible character only intensi fied the opinion that the man to whom H wng nddrescd was ft conr.pirator ngaln.i the United States government. The mattei was nt once referred lo the secretary o war , nnd he , too , thought It was a black- looking cace. Yet ncbody could Interpret the queer communication. "The upshot of It was that Stnnton sent for the congressman Intending to give him the letter In the presence of several wit nesses , not doubting that ho would be over come hy such dltcct evidence of Ills guilt. The suspected man cnmo to the secretary's office , not dreaming of the reason of his summons. Immediately hens handed the letter nnd asked to give nn explicit ac count of its contents. He read It over , nuil on finishing burst Into n roar of laughter. " 'Mr. Secretary , ' tnld ho , 'you have done , mo a grave injustice In having my private mall tampered with , but 1 understand your feelings In this matter nud will not com plain. This cnmo from General Dlnnk , and Is n pressing Invitation to mo to bring BOIUO friends from Washington to visit , him nt his headquarters. The important part ot tlio communication lies In a request of mete to bring lots of whisky. Ho says that the camp has plenty of money , but that the ' whisky supply has given out , nnd begs mo , In the nnmo of humanity , to bring the ardent. As nn Inducement , ho further says that a congenial poker party can easily bo made up , and that the limit would bo made to suit. ' "Well , when this chlnook missive was put into plain English , Stnnton nnd all the others present saw the comical side of the thing , and all doubts of the congressman wore banished. There never had been any Just grounds of snplclon ns to him , any way , and never alter that was there any In- terefercnco with his letters. " SUPREME COURT SYLLABI SGSG.
