t'nts nnd Host Arc Let Loose Among
Wnll Street Speculators.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. There was a con
siderable falling off In tho volume of deal
ings In stocks today, and tho decline would
have been much more marked had It not
been for tho bringing forward Into activity
of a horde of low-priced stocks of tho
class denominated among tho brokers ns
"cats and dogs." It Is characteristic of a
long bull movement that It should eventu
ally reach Into tho drrirs of tho list and
tlr un thn sediment of tho market. Tho
theory Is that the generally higher range
of values attained In tho general market
i.ntltlen thn lnw.nrlpfil storks to some ln-
crcaso In valuation, even without special
uevciopment in tnc nnnirs or the proper
ties. The bidding up of theso stocks Is
also a lavorlto devlco by bull operators to
sustain tho market for tho purpose. or
realising in the higher-priced stocks which
have already enjoyed their ndvimce. So
lnr as the railroad department of the stock
mnrket was concerned this was clearly
what was uolnir on tudnv. As a matter or
fact, combination rumors wero circulated
regarding tho railroads whoso slocks tiro
selling below 40, as has become tho fashion
In connection with bull movements, but
sotno of tho stocks wero bid up without
neclllc rumors on tho general principle
hut nnv rnllroiul la nvalTatile for 11 com
bination nowadays. Tho most clearly de
fined rumors applied to tho Wabash se
curities and the group of railroads operat
ing In Colorndo. These madci Wabash ft
connecting link to bo absorbed by Lacka
wanna and to tnko In tho Gould southwest
ern railroads In tho formation of 11 dtw
through railroad system from the east to
thn Riiiithwestern irillf iiorts. Tho rumor of
n. projected consolidation In tho several
rniiroaii lines tooit on various lorms, sniuu

all tho way from 1 to 5 points, St. Joseph

was only n handful of stocks that got us
much as a point away from last night at
any time. Union Pacific was never more
thnn 1H nbova In.-u night and was at one
time 1H below. Tho fluctuations were hesl
tntlng nt nil times, The only news of tho
day concerning tho stock wns the tinder
writing at par of a bond Issuo to finance
tho Southern Pnclllc purchase. The latter
stock also showed some strength. Tho
steel stocks mndo a great show of strength
Just ut the opening. Tin Plato Jumped
nearly j points, eteei ami wire "t
Federal Bteel only Hi. Some of tho ad
vances, however, wero fully maintained,
except f ederal atcci, nnd 1110 imianco oi
o group dropped 10 comparatively smaii
onorltons. Tho belief continued strong
n V11ll street that tho nlan for a Joint
control of tho steel properties Is making
progress. But tho stocks did not reflect
clearly any news. Sugar had an advunco
of 3U.
rno movement or casn rrom tno interior
by mall nnd exprchs Is expected to be .inf
llclcnt to offset a loss of over Jl.000.000 to
the subtreasury on nccount of tho licnvy
customs payment. There havo apparently
neun largo special movements or ninus or
nenrby cities nnd from Sun Francisco, ni
though New York exchange ut Chicago
hud declined to 30e discount. Nobody ven
tures nn estimate of what tho loan Item
will disclose, In view of the largo financial
transactions which havo occurred during
tho week.
There wns a continuance of the activity
of the bond market today, but there wcro
reactions on prollt-tnklug at some points.
Wabash debenture Us advanced 6 points
and tho As 254. Total sales, par value,
JS.400,000. t'nlted States bonds wero all un
changed on tho last call.

CATTLE Conditions wero rtitncr against
the selling Interests this morning owing to
tho henvy fall of snow, which made tho
cattlo appear In bad form, and ulso to the
fact that It Is tho last end of tho week,
when tho demand on tho part of both pack
ers and feeder buyers Is somewhat limited.
There wero about 25 cars of beef htei:rs
Included In the receipts, nnd packers started
out early and bought up some of tho best
cn'ttlo at Just about yesterday's prices.
Later on. after tho more urgent order-i wore
tilled und tho more desirable cattle Mild
the market flattened out nnd sellers wire
calling It 5fil0c lower, particularly on tho
warmed-up and common grades. Trade 011
tho last end was very dull, anil It was hard
to move somo of the cattle at any price.
Thero wero Just about as many cows
as there wero steer on sale, and the mar
ket was In prnctlcnlly the same condition,
though If anything a llttlo more uneven.
Choice stuff, particularly early, brought
Just about steady prices, but the market
kept getting weaker as tho morning ad
vanced, and sellers reported tho medium
kinds and ennners about a dlmo lower than
yestorduy. Trade was uneven on all classes,
and for that reason It was dltllcult 10 tell
very much about the market,
Tne week Is closing with heavy bulls plow
sale and 10815c lower than at the best time
this week. Packers do not seem anxious
for them nnd will not buy them unless they
can get them for less money than they
havo been paying. Calves aro selling In
practically tho samo notches as yesterday,
good ones bringing as high as $7.0). Stags
nre unchanged,
The slocker and feeder trade wns rather
dull today on account of tho storm, which
kept country buyers nt homo and made yard
traders cautious uuum uujmg. inciu
wero only a few on sale, however, so ti.at
prices did not show any material change

DRI'.VKEV COWS l. A FIGHT.
SniiKtilnnry llattlc After n Stent on
Fermented Cnne.
Tho most exciting nffnlr In tho vicinity of
Uronson, Fin., of :ate wns the ferocious
combat between two of Farmer Hnwklns'
Intoxicated cows the other day, causing the
death of ono nfter a tight that would put u
modern bull light to blush.
Hawkins lives four miles from Uronson
nnd prides himself upon his line stock. Ho
makes lots of cone syrup nlso. In tho
grinding season most of the farmers In this
country tnuko beer for lnTino consumption
from tho "enno skimmings,'' but Hawkins
Is a stanch teetotaler und vowed he would
give the skimmings to his cows. So ho
tilled tho trough full the other afternoon,
not drcKmlng uf tho tragic consequence to
follow.
Soon two of his pet rows enmc up nnd be
gan drinking tho liquid, It tasted good, and
tho cowh wuhled more. Soon they had on
a goodly "Jug" nnd they got belligerent.
Onu plungod nt tho other, trying to get
possession of the trough. Tho other, with
a bellow of defiance, gored her nntagnnlst
In the sldo with artistic skill. The other
turned tall for a moment, and then cajnii
rushing back, pinning tho cow to n post
and goring her frightfully.
The light then became general. Tho In
furiated animals bellowed nnd Plunged at
each other and fought with deadly earnest
ness. This wns kept up for a half un hour,
when one wns knoi ked down In a dying con
dltlon, and the other wns Just able to walk
around and bdlow triumphantly. The men
folks heard tho uproar, ojt did not get to
the scene of the wnrfnrn in tlmo to stop It,
Mr. Hawkins Is out ono cow, but has lots
of experience. The old settlers around
them say this U a common occurrenco
where cnttlo drink this skimmings, ns It
ninlir them fighting drunk and a scrim
mn-te follows. In the old timet. It wns one
of the boys' sports to get n dro'-o of cattle
In nn Inclosuro nnd feed them with cane
nklinmlngs and watch tho light that would
ff '"Off.
A COLOSSAL WARHIIOCSB
Which Will Hold .Vcnrly n Hundred
.Million Pound of Tolinceo,
Liverpool has Just completed tho building
of n new tobacco warehouse, which, until
Chicago carries out Its characteristic
schemo for a block of commercial buildings
a mile long, will be tho largest erection of
the kind In the world. The new building
on tho banks of the Mersey Is a glgnntlc
affair, constructed by the Dock bonrd In
order to provldo centrnl accommodation for
the storage of the tobacco of tho port.
Within ten yenrs, snys the London Express,
tho tobacco stock of Liverpool has doubled
Itself nnd now reaches tho figure of 100,016
hogsheads, against only 39.971 hogsheads In
London, tho center of the universe.
Hitherto several Immense warehouses
havo been utilized for the storage of Liv
erpool's bonded tobacco, but tho remark
ablo development of tho trade has led to
the building, at a cost of 300,0, of the
now giant, where the lntest Improvements
In the way of machinery and stowngc ac
commodation have been introduced, Tho
new building Is 723 feet long. 165 feet wide
and 180 feet high. It has cellars, a wilder
ness of a landing quay and twelve spnclous
floors, each capable of holding 4.S) hogs
heads. Tho total storage capacity of tho
building will bo better appreciated when
It Is stated that 90,720,000 pounds of the
frngrnnt weed can bo comfortably put
away within Its towering wallB. Tim money
value of tho idle, when It Is full o ' tr'incco,
would make dozens of paupers millionaires.
The wnrchouso could hold tho famous St.
Gcorgo's hall nnd n few music halls ns
woll. It lias thirty-six acres of floor space
and constitutes ono of the landmarks of
tho city.
