They vveie exposed for sale without reseive , excepting live choice animals , two bulls and three cows , the winners at most of tlio leadIng - Ing English shows , at the prohibitory piico of50 guineas each. Mr. Blythe is ono of tlio paitncis lu n lartro firm of vvlno merchants. Ho started farming six years ago under the truklauco of the principal of his linn , who founded not only the Daily society of Great Britain , but the Shire Stud Book society. For n long tlmo It had been well understood that the London supply of milk came from the cows describad as mongrel" , crosses be tween the Short Horn and Hereford breeds predominating. As far back as 18J1 an at tempt was made to introduce Jerseys , which then Included in the title of Aldor- neys nnd Guernseys , but down to the last twenty yeafs the little milk maker of the oichaid's island had not succeeded in establishing herself among the metropolitan danymen.

She drove four bright bays before an old time drag into the icscrved paddock. It isliard to say wheth6r the action of her anlmnls'or her skill in handling the ribbons was the most ndumcd. Lord March , who is a great agri culturist at his Welch and Iilsh seals , joined the company. This Included nearly all the breeders of dairy stock in England , Lord Biooko presided nt luncheon in n largo bam , where over four bundled persons wore pres ent. The toasts customary to nil laigo Eng lish sales were proposed. Tlio absence of nnv United States breeders was nlludcd to , nnd the fact that the bousrht directly from tlio Isl and of Jersey Instead of fiom the best main land stocks biought from Jcisoy Into Gieat Britain was commented on. Ol'UNINO Tlin SAT , ! ! . The rale was started with a plain looking co\v , but said to be one of the bnst bred in the bard. Only very ordinary prices were rti.ui/.cd for some time. The rcscivo pilces seemed to check the sale. Auctioneer Thoin- ton , the Tattersall of farm yard animals , found his sand glass , which monsuics the auctioneer's discretion In England , run out before there was any bid for the reservations. Hut when some tender-eyed thoroughbreds , not leserved , vvoio brought Into thu ring , a brisk competition at small Using bids set In , thd Duke of Mailborough , the Eail of Ablugdon and Lord Brooke , seemingly urged by his wife , who fiom tlmo to time exploded her admira tion for the many beautiful and docile aiil- mali , bidding. But In no case did thd prices rlso to what Is called high , and the sand glass was lepeatedly held up to allow bidders to make up their minds. The total for iifty- thrco Jersey animals realised S8G10 , being nn average only of $103 each. The auctioneer expressed himself satisfied , but Mr. Dlytho , the owner , who doubtless was the best Judge , seemed disappointed , because for many choicer animals exposed , ho had received larger private offers.

The closing days of this session of congress will lomaln memorable in the minds of tlioso who lm\u taken pait In them on account of the lack of interest evinced. Instead of the rush nnd clamor for the passage of pcoiespf measures there has been shown an ludKToi- once that li ; a ? remarkable s It was rare. The contentions within the ranks of the majority In the house on account of ditfeicncesof op inion as to tariff , Internal revenue , etc. , early in the season created an apathy which made it almost impossible to enact anything of u substantial char acter. Then the fonllng which lias existed between the chief executive and the majority In the senate lias placed a barrier between that body and final action. Whether the changes In the next 4muso bring about a mnloiity tor tlmiqmibllcaiis or democrats , a better condition of affairs Is expected to ex ist then , The democratic majoilty will bo small at best , and a small majoilty closes the ranks against dissensions and Insures bettor work and more ofilt than where the majority Is largo. Should the' republicans have the liouso , ns the indications suggest , they say they v , Disco now much legislation they can pile up bcfoio the president. PKSXTKK HOUNDS TATA'S.

Conferences upon the sundry civil appioprlation bill mot In the room of the senate committee on ap propriations at 10 o'clock this morning nnd remained together until 0 o'clock this even ing , when they adjourned to reassemble at 0 to-moirow morning. The mooting of to day was unexpectedly harmonious , the last picvlous nicotine having been characterized by obstinate assertions of do- teimination on botli sides not to surrender the points at Issue nnd by manv emphatic and somewhat peisonal pxpicssions of opinion. The tmpressioo pie- vails to-night that a brief session to-monow morning will lesult either In an niueoment njion all the points in dilToienco or a conclus ion to report back the disagreement upon a few reseived points lot' fuither Instinotions , with the probabilities In tavor of an entire agree ment. The most troublesome of the remal n- iug points of diflerence is lound in the pro visions for the coast smvey. The conces sions made by the respective slilcs to-day arc said to bis about equal to each other In amount. The confeiees upon the deficiency bill will meet at 10 o'clock to-moriow morn ing with the prospect tint their work will be completed during the day. The measuio has n great many amendments , which fact entails consideiabhi labor upon tiie conferees , but it Inuolvcs no important question ot principle and is therefore not likely to create a dead lock. ' The conferees upon the river and harbor and fortifications bills will also probably hold tmoetlnps to-niorrow. but the outlook 9for an , aereoment upon either Is not paomlslng. Whatever the lesult may bo , however , It is believed that a quoinm can not bo held together attor the sundry civil and deficiency bills are disposed of. The surplus resolution , the Northern PacllUi forfeiture bill , the bill to repeal picemptlqn and timber culture laws , Interstate commeico bill and na\al establish ment bill are the most impoitant meas ures of general legislation now in conference nnd the impression prevails that all but the last named will tall to beconio lavys at this sesjloi ) , It Is the general belief to-night tint the session will cud not later than no\t Thursday , and possible on Wednesday. The fust business in each house will bo to listen to and dispose of the conference reports whenever they are ready. The sen- nto will niobably devote ono day to executive busincbs , and the remaining time , It there shall bo any , to the vetoed pen sion bills and miscellaneous calendar. It is possible that the house may to-moiroW icach nnd act upon the tonato amendments to tlio Mexican pension bill and Biookiyn public building bill , under suspension of the rules. If the oleomargarine bill is signed to-morrow It Is doubtful If a rnioumi of the house will icmaln after the loimal announcement is mado. KAMPANT VOH , WAR.

[ Special Telegram to the BHE. ] A year ngo this week every thing was on the rise , and the market was advancing under the stimulus ot the West Shore settlement. Curiously enough the highest aveiago pilces for tlio year to this time have been i cached almost on the anniv er- sary of the inaxium last July. Tlierohas been none of thatactlvo speculation buoyant , iipvvnid movement In everything , nnd the wild rush to buy that delighted the hearts of brokers a yeai ago , and kept the telegraph wires hot But the market has been tirm every day. with a single exception , when London lalsed the profits to a degree sufil- clent to check the advance and depress the maikct n little without upsetting it in the least , Thcievvns nothing but crop news to set It back , and now that these arc taken wllu proper seasoning they aio digested with out any injuiy to the stock brokers'system. The biggest hurrah has been tlio Toxns A ; Pa- cltlc stocks nnd bonds. They have yielded the nrst place lu the market only once , when they gracefully rothed to allow New York Central to como to tlio fore aud icsuine , tor n few hours , its former posi tion of lender. Next in point of interest came New York Central , | n which everyone sees an increase in the rate or ! dividend in tholmudsbmo'iiiciease in the earnings shown by the roports. London Is always leady to buy this stock on the sllchtest provocation , nnd they did so on Tuesday and yesterday until the price was cariiedup to 110 , which Is the high line lor this j ear so far. It is Im possible to make comparisons with last year , now that the eainings of the West Snoio aio included , but the gain in net cainlims for the first half of the year aio only S17. ,000 less than the entile lixed chaises on the West Shoio for the whole year. Theio will , theie- lore. be available for dividends on Now York Centinl stock not only the entlio surplus , nflor payingJHjowji ch'aig far tl\e jcar , but the entlio net cainings of the West Shoio system , which ousht easily to amount to ns much ns } pei cent on tlio Cential's stock. Kile is nhcnil of them nil , with about 20 per cent moio irioss earnings , nnd net eainlngs moio than 70 per eent greater. The Impiovemcnt on the ( i rand Tiunk is about an equal i.Uio. nnd the Bee Line beats them all with an linpiovo- mont df bO per cent In net , less than ten In gross. All these tilings emphasize very htiongly what has olteu been said , that tlio impiovement In net results will be proportionately tionately veiy much higer according to tne proportion of through business on which tlio magln of molit on low rates Is so small. The tendency of money tovvaid higher lates has continued this week. OMAHA'S iaVL2 STOCIC Hnlli-ond DUIlcultlcs Brewing on Ac count or Its Shipment. CHICAGO , 111. , August 1. [ Special to the Bco. ] A local paper says : "There is trouble brewing among the Chicago lines at Council BlulTs that maydovolopo into something seri ous. Heretofore all of the live stock received at the Omaha stock yauls trom any of the noitliwcstcrn loads had to be billed out at local rates. Now , the article asserts , the Northwestern has adopted a now policy , whereby it takes out pf Omaha all the live stock that goes to that point over the Fio- mont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley nnd tlio Sioux City & Paeilic , cmrylng them nt tlnough rate charges to Chicago. As no other toad can get them except at local latcs the Northeastern mutually tnke.s nil of thnt par ticular business.
