Thu Oliaulnuqua reading circle and the
Chatitniniun ycaily assembly , with \tv \ dally
piogrnm of public lectures , concerts , Jra-
inatlc recital * , rtc. , arc known to every
one. The specialized work Is not perhaps
so generally known. The "Teachers' He-
treat" offers every summer six weeks
courses In educational methods under In
spiring mastrrs. The "College of Liberal
Arts , " as Us name Implies , affords a well
Bystcmatl/ed course of study which Is In
tended to bo disciplinary as well an culti
vating. In the six works summer session
of the college there Is "direct contact be
tween special students and Invldlual In
structors In lecture or laboratory courses. "
"Afterward , If the student desire , there IH
careful supervision of home studies a'long
specific lines by moans of correspondence. "
.Students who complete sixteen full courses
of which ten aio proscribed , are candi
dates for a degree ; but they must pass on
examination before the regents of the ulil-
verslty of the state of New York. Nat
urally the number of students who fulfill
the requirements Is small ; but the fact that
this final sanction l. so carefully guarded
relieves the association from any suspicion
of tampering with echolastlc standards.
FOSTERS INTELLIGENT CITIZENSHIP.
The need of bridging over the gulfs that
separate classes was never so apparent as
nt this moment of our history. This Clintt-
tawma does : It draws the unlearned Into
the circle of the learned ; It binds together
the young people of distant states ; above
all and more than all , It fosters Intelligent
citizenship and humane sympathies. It Is
a significant fact that history , European
and American , Is the prevailing clcnunt In
most of the reading courses ; even more sig
nificant I'i the stress laid upon biblical
studies , especially the elTort through Dr.
Harper's "Invtltuttfl of Sacred Literature"
to "ftMler more nnd more the enlightened
and reverent study of the bible. " to bring
Into the current of our religious life "the
tributary streams of science and literature. "
In a single year 200 students have been en
rolled In the summer school of sacred liter
ature , whoso object Is to "emphasize the
human elements In the bible" and so "bring
the divine life In It nearer the- human
heart. "
The catholic spirit that pervades the whole
work la typified In the welcome extended to
Cathcllc and Jcwlsb colaborers. In 1895
Illshop Vincent Invited the Catholic bishop
of Imffalo to send a priest to the assembly
grounds to conduct services regularly once
a week , and on August of that year the
first Catholic church service was held In
College hall. In 1K9.1 a Jewish branch was
established. Although Its local headquar
ters arc at 1'hlladclphla It Is In dene rela
tions to the parent organization. The latent
developments of Chautauqua are distinc
tively sociological. Such are the circles
maintained In the prisons of Stlllwater.
Minn. , and of Lincoln. Neb. , and the re
cently organized clubs. I. o. . the Hoys' club ,
the Olrls' club and the Woman's club. The
object of the Inot named Is particularly to
acquaint women with the best that science
has to offer for the benefit of homo.
The personal element has not been for
gotten In this study , and the reader will find
therein the names of the men and women
who have so zealously co-operated with
Htehop Vincent In maintaining this unique
Institution.
Dr. Adams has just returned from n tour
of the llrltlsh Isles , which was undertaken
for the purpose of a personal study of the
English summer educational classes. lie
Kavo his attention chiefly to the cathedral
and university towns and to the great in
dustrial cities. The result of his Investiga
tion Into university extension and the work
of the National Home Heading union will
form a valuable companion monograph to
that upon Chautauqua.

Prof. J. ti. Patterson of Schcnectady , N.
Y. . writing to the New York Indcjxmdcnt
on the relations of college athletics and
scholarship touched upon the growing an
tagonism between the two and suggests a
remedy. Prof. Patterson says : A few
years ngo statements were sent out
by one of our largest colleges to show that
Its athletes were among Its host scholars
During the past year the faculty of the same
Institution pasted a rule forbidding mem
bership on the college teams to men who
were deficient In scholarship. Other colleges
liavo recently taken similar action thus
Mainly Indicating a Brewing antagonism be
tween athletics and scholarship.
The Intense and often bitter rivalry be
tween certain colleges has led to questionable
methods of securing athletic talent , and has
thus Introduced Into ,
college life young men
who are not qualllletl by their tastes or pre
vious training to become students. How
these men over pats the portals of the Insti
tutions they represent on the athletic Held
or maintain themselves In their elapses after
they are admitted. Is a mjstcry to the un
initiated.
Last fall a noted foot ball iilayer , who had
made his reputation In this role In a small
college , was InductM to enter one of our
largest universities , where ho played on the
foot ball team throughout the season. After
the season was over ho applied to his former
Instructors for certificates of scholarship
which could not bo furnished because of low
standing. Ho had been allowed to remain In
thn larger Institution for three months with
out passing an entrance examination or pre
senting certificates of proficiency. The spe
cial significance of thin Instance lies In the
fact that the president of this great univer
sity made an address at the opening of the
term In which he meat emphatically and
with evident sincerity Insisted that the in-
Etltutlon over which ho had thu honor to
preside proposed to conduct Its athletics mi
a high moral plane.
Hut there la another rcasrn why athletes
frequently crowd thu low benches in die
class room , It IB found In a syMem of
training which produces such physical ex
haustion and mental absorption as to render
serious study a burden or altogether Impos
sible. This Is especially true of niodcrn
foot ball. The training Is extremely severe.
After a man haa undergone the hard wcrk
of the afternron on the field under the whip
of the proftf ' 'I coach , partaken of the
hearty meal -cued at the training table ,
and taken part In the dLicunulon of the
plays , which Is as regular us thu meals , he
Is In no condition to wrestle with Greek or
matuematlcH. Something Is gained by at-
tendluir recitations , but absences caused by
gamut aud accidents are so common aa to
innko fitful evi ; > thin mntlmtl of gnlnlm
kiio\viV.Jie. ; U IK I he biiHlnrtti ot tin- nun
ngt-r afid captain to get muscle nnd wind It
perfca rendition before the Important nmr :
are played , and nothing ntny stand In tin
way of thU re-null. The Rcntral colleRt
lontlmcnt demands of every player the sub
or d I null on of almost every other considers
tlrn to liln physical condition. This collcgi
sentiment I * a most powerful factor. I
compels many a Mudcnt to become a incmbci
of a team nnd to fdlglil his studies agRtiml
hi * butter Judgment. It Is safe to say thai
for the score of IIH-II who constitute a teatr
with Us substitutes , the fact that the co1 <
Icg > > U an Institute of learning rut * a vi-rj
poor tlgun- from the open I UK of the term tf
Thanksgiving. Many foot ball players whe
naturally are good students dclhcrat ! b
neglect n part of their work during the em-
ton. trusting to a cram before the examina
tion , or to the Indulgence of on casy-gol'ifi
profcsscr. If the standing In siholnr : hl |
of the managers and players of the foot ball
teams of a dozen of the colleges and secondary -
ondary hchool.s most prominent In nthlctlcw
could be published for the fall term , the re
sult would be very surprising and distress
ing to many parents nnd trustees , as well
an to the public generally.
Itaso ball and track athletic ! ! are not open
to the snni'j criticism , for ( he training Is Irs :
severe , and the earnest student who takes
part In thcso game * need not fall far below
his normal man linn In BchohirMilp. U Ii
true that innnsKtuJentK make even the leis
erai'tltig games an excuse lor iieglectltiK
study , but these IIUMI nre thu Fcrnl-profcs-
slonal athletes who hang about many of our
Institutions , and this class of men would
not take college life seriously If there were
no athletic. ; . Ho far as college athletics
affect the scholarship of worthy fttudents ,
foot ball ! H the game which presents the
most Eerlous dllll.-ulties. Any form of ath
letics which practically compels the good
student to sucrince his studies for several
weeks of the year vhoulil bo modified or
abolished. That modern foot ball falls un-
ler this condemnation In many colleges and
si-hools is unquestionable. If the game were
! > bokhcil ! today , multitudes of long-suffering
mr'-nts and tcachern would liravo a sigh of
relief. Hut many who understand more
ully the conditions of college life believe
that It U better to tolerate even foot ball
with ninny abuses If , thereby , our students
can bo lapt out of doors during two or
three months of the year , when the weather
niakos other forms of exercise unattractive
or Impossible Worse evils may befall a
student than broken collar bones or .1 con-
lltion In calculus.
The problem which , confronts students ,
teachers and alumni today is how to el Imi
tate the worst evils nf .tho game without
sflcrlflcliiK Its attractiveness. It behooves
the friends of thl-s sport to address them
selves to thf solution of this problem , If the
game Is to bo saved. A long step In the
right direction would be taken If an agrec-
nent could be reached to make the training
ess severe by abolishing : ( l-tlie ) preliminary
training before college opens ; (2) ( ) the em-
iloynnnt of professional coaches ; (3) ( ) the
raining tableTo the coach and the train-
iiff tr.blo Is due , to a large extent , the nlr
of professionalism which blights so many
remising iimateur athletes. If all college
acuities had the backbone to exclude rigidly
from the teams all whoso standing in schol
arship is unsatisfactory. It would greatly
nirlfy the athletic atmosphere. Just ns
eng as college faculties believe that a win-
ling team , no matter how constituted , Is n
goad nnd proper advertisement for an Insti
tution of learning , amateur college sport
will be In danger.

The American college has possibly done
more In laying foundations for culture than
n directly chcrlahlnB culture , says Prof.
Charles 'P. Thwlng In the North American
Hevlew ; for the American college has been
so deeply concerned with the primary dis
ciplines that It has found llttlo opportunity
for affording to Its students means and
nothods of the deepest enrichment. Hut It
las given Impulses ; It has awakened aspira
tions ; It has put before the student stand
ards of taste ; It has trained intellectual
udgmeiit ; It has given to the great law of
Ight a now value by showing the breadth
of Its application and the height of Its
reach ; it has sought to create a refinement
vhlch is purchased neither by the cllmlna-
lon of robustness nor by the Introduction
of pvercritlcal aethetlclsm ; It has tried to
rain each man to love the best In literature
n music. In painting , In nature. In human
ly ; and It has striven constantly to cause
ho student to distinguish in everything not
simply the good from the bad. but. what Is
ar more dlfllcult. the better from the best.
This service of the American college In
raining men to live Intellectual lives Is of
he greatest worth to this country and to
his age.

As American traditions go concerning the
French novel. "A Tragic Idyl , " by Paul
Uourgot. fulfils the greatest expectations
of readers of the productions of Gallic novel
ists. It Is a tale of clandestine love , secret
marriages and Jealous husbands , and with
a'"tragic" ' denoumcnt , according to M. Dour-
get. The tragedy Is continually brought to
the reader's attention before It occurs , how
ever , and Is thus robbed of Its dramatic pos
sibilities. The entire tone of the story Is
unhealthy , with perverted ideas of morality
on every pjgc. Each character Is drawn
with individuality nnd consistently sustained
throughout. Charles Scrlbncr's Sons , Now

"Tho Washer of the Ford , " by Fiona Mac-
leod , is a collection of legendary talca of
tliei remote north , the first In the collection

"The Herb Moon , " by John Oliver Hobbca
( Mrs , Cralgle ) bus an outward appearance
of superficiality that Is misleading. What
Bccms like cynicism In her work ' Is sincerity ,
born , perhaps , of some bltte'rncss , but not
losing Its grasp of a constant Ideal. Her
charactorlzaton.Is Is extraordinary. The study
of Rose Is the distinction of the present
book. We find her a woman who has made
n mistaken marriage , and U left with a
hopelessly Insane husband when yet hardly
out of her girlhood ,
A friendship comes Into her llfo which
the youth In her Instinctively embraces ,
questioning little. Finally she has to admit
Its Impossibility.

NEW YOHIC , Nov. 8. Henry Clews , hcnil
of the banking house of Henry Clews &

The people Imvo at lust delivered their

means that , through * nil the confiiMlem and

Imvo found no dllllculty In ellstliigulHhliig

elements of our national iiiHtltulloiiH ; and
of our resolute InslHtenco uuon future ab

all this the European estimate of our na

Immeasurably advanced. Ruropo has been

reasons for hoiilng- that this tent of our
political Institutions might reveal no faults
calculated to weaken their hopes for the

NB\V LIFE TO STOCKS.
Wall Htteet received tl ls verdict for
sound .inonev and law nnd order with wild
rejoicings. No second opinion was enter
tained as to Its significance to the future
Value of Investments , and the Immediate
effect was a large advance In all kinds of
securities. The upward movement In
prices , however , had been In part antici
pated by previous advances : and certain
largo operators , who are supposed to have
hud urgent use for their money In othur
d'reetlons , took the opportunity to realize-
largely when prices had risen 2 to 4
polntp. Thin naturally checked the upward
force * of Values and produced a partial re
action In the midst of the excitement ; but
thorn were ready buyers for all the stock
offered. The new situation attracted Into
the market a large number of buyers. Cau
tious people , who 1invc been keeping their
funds Idle In thrt banks or had for1 safety's
sake turned them Into gold , bouuht
largely of bonds and Interest-paying stocks ,
nnd a large amount of securities wn thus
taken permanently off the market. Specu
lative operators iwho have been conspicu
ous for their long absence from Wnll street
showed their appreciation of the situation ;
nnd between the two classes of buyers the
transactions on Wednesday reached the
unusual total of G.V.oao ) shares' , whllo the
trasnctlons In boiuls were correspondingly
large. London was n larger buyer than
for many months1'past. Someof the
"bears. " however , could not completely ell-
vest themselves of their jicsslml.sni , nnd
when , on Thursday , some doubt wan
thrown upon the vote of certain states
which party estimates had. given to Air.
McKlnley , there "waft some 'demonstrative
selllncr , with the. effect of a' sllpht reac
tion In prices. Thursday nnd Friday wore
occupied with floating' rumors relating to
the vote of live or six states , the count
of which remained uncertain , and Homo
fear * Avere entertained that there mlnht
bo an attempt by the Bryanltes to 'fix"
the Indiana returns for their candidate.
Also , In the uncertain states , the run Is
apparently so close * as to suggest the pos
sibility of nn "olllclal count" having to
bo made. These facts , whllo sugge-stlng no
possibility of "Mr. Hryan's success , yet
throw an element of uncer'iijnty over the
magnitude of Mr. McKlnloy's majority ,
which held speculation In restraint and
afforded ample seooe for the effective use
of election canards. The Importance of
there uncertainties lies In the fact that
the effect of Mr. McKlnlcy's election upon
the * spirit of business nnd of speculation
will depend to some extent upon the nu-
n-.orlcal strength of his mnjorltv. Such os
cillations usuallv arise even under the most
extraordinary "bull" excitements ; and the
effects of the new situation now Intro
duced are > not to be expected to npnoar
all at once , but will be largely realized
through a more extended process , attended
with the tips and downs always Incident
to speculation. Moreover , In estimating
the 'future course of the market. It Is to
iio kept In mind that even this great vic
tory may not be expected to Immediately
eradicate the hnblt of timidity which hni ?
be'oomo no deeply Ingralneel In the public
mind durinir the last three years of 1111-
ccrtalntv , danpei * and acute apprehension.
To eradicate that , by any single event ,
or within the space of one short week ,
would need a miracle * .
EASES VI' ON THE HANKS.
Among the minor Incidents roFiiltlng from
the sound money victory Is the complete
recovery of conlldenco among the banks
and their sangulno expectations of a great
revival of business. This feeling has
shown Itself In an active demand for com
mercial paper nt from r to BV6 per cent
for first-class names , whllo time loans on
collateral are offoreel frccy at moderate
rates. This fact expresses the estimate of
the banking community upon the safety
of the situation introduced by the- election ;
It Is also Kood evidence mat , henceforth ,
sound borrowers may depend upon getting
all thu money they nccil. Another effect
Is apparent In the disappearance of the
premium on pold. These . who have
hoarded the metal to the extent of ninny
millions < wlthln the last three months are
now showing their nnxluty lo get rid of It
by taking it to the treasury and the banks
for exchange for paper eirrenoy. This
lately much-coveted gold has thereroro
now become a drug upon the market. At
the same time the election has caused a
drop In foreign exchange to a point about
admlttliiK of Imports or gold. Hut , now
that the hoarding demand for tij ) > metal
lues ceased and that It Is comlnE out of
hoard In a steady stream , this state of
exe'hango attracts llttlo attention : and
there are wise financiers who Incline to
the opinion that , having got nil the gold
wo really need , It may bo quite as well
for our Interests that 1-omlon Miould not
bo dlsturbe-d by further drains to this
Hide the Atlantic.
From the fore'pqlng brief survey of the
events of the wci'M It will be seen that we
have entered upon an entirely now sot
of condition ! ! upefli n situation which Is
free from the restraints that have been
holding1 every form of business In jiaraly-
yls for more thint three years , and , which
Is mill morel Im'vortnnt. a Munition that
affords an ampli > basis for conlldenco and
for thu resumption of Industry , trade and
special forms . -enterprise without ob
struction aril vvltl ) reafonab'o nssiiranee-s
of profit and prrfsperity. Other thlims re-
ir.aln to bo done In ordr.to completely
reftoro soundings' clllclency to our
currency system ami thereby win the ab-
Holutu confidences of our own people and
of the nations with which wo have largo
credit relations ; but wo stand already pro-
paied for that leislatlvn ( work by a large
amount of IntiOflRcnt discussion recently
done ; and besides wo have four years In
which to accomplish those changes , with
apparently no prospect of effective ob
struction In either hoiiF * ; of congress. A
cornpailcon of , thl situation with that of
a -week ago reveals a contrast more hope-
fill than many of us then dared to hope
for. All that re-mains now Is for our peo-
plu to forget tluilr puet apprehensions , to
throw off thn spirit of pessimism Into which
they have been so bitterly trained , and ,
by a resumption of confident activity , to
recover what has been lost In national
prosperity through an unie-Hlrulnetl renewal
of business activity.
DOUvAIl GOOD ANYWHEHE.
Times may now bo confidently expected
to change for the butler and should be
as good for the next four years as they
Imvo been bad for the past four years.
The maintenance of sound money nnd the
establishment of re-usonablo protection for
both the manufacturer and wage worker
are now assured. The American dollar
can now ha relied upon to Imvo the fame
Intrinsic permanent gold value as that or
the English sovereign and will catry with
It thu world's confidence nitlu by Hldo iwlth
the sovereign ; and with this positive ) I\H- \
sunuico thin nation la now headed to over
take all othe.ru In prosperity and wealth
muklnir. At the time the ChlcaKo conven
tion platform was announced I alllrmed
that It was too topheavy for lt bane
that U waa llku an Inverted pyramid , and
would be Hiiro to tomitc over , nnd Hi il
the wtofl and rc.iKoniil'b' tmmbrM e > f t'n
democratic party would ail run away from
the * threatened crash and gel out of dan
ger's rnieh , IIH no m-lf-rcxpcctlng man with
any coiipldcratlon for hlnixrif eir patriotic
Impulse fur his country could consistently
e-ontrihute * to prop up such a dl'propor-
Honed < ind ridiculous structure. All this
ban now happened.
The future looks bright Indexed , nnd by
the exerclso of geed Judgment those who
have brains can not only make both end *
meet through their huslne-xs operation * ,
but also store up a surplus for a ralnv
day during the next four years. "K

this country's motto ; and the stars and

ple without any distinction. Major McKln-

NKW YORK. Nov.Wall stree't has
had nn extraordinary week. More than
the cheerful things foreshadowed In these
dispatches has come to pass. Election re
turns gave the stock market on Wednes
day morning a whirling opening. Every
thing advanced and many Htocks went up
largely. The llrst hour on the Stock exchange -
change- wan almost the tumult of a mob.
The- name stocks , dealt In by the same *
etrowd , sold at the same time * nt half a
dozen different prices. Sugar Trust , for
Instance' , was at 121 and 12. > slmiiltanc-ously ,
and at ove-ry price between those * figures.
Veteran observers looked on askance- . The
naee was too rapid , they said. The mil
lennium could not comu over night And
wo got a setback. In some quarters It was
a sharp reaction.
Hut so changed has become the ncntl-
mont of Wall street , so Inspiring was the
news that honest money had won , and that
repudiation games were- squelched that
oven whllo declines were being forced the
bull fooling grow. There quickly followed
substantial betterment In quotations. Tin-
week closes with every conspicuous stock
on the list materially advanced.
From every quarter conic cvlilone'cs of anew
now business urn. Confidence * Is being
fairly | x > urcd Into Wall street from every
imrl of the union. The list of mills that
have started up anew , or that have nlrfmly
extended activity. Is , of Itself , an nmplo
warrant for enthusiasm. Eve-ry in.in , with
Wall street relationship. Is hopeful , has
faith In thesureness of ro-estnbllshod pros
perity , and on these hope-s and on this
faith operations are being based calculated
to e-xert a vast Influence In the llnanelal
world.
From authorities consequential In the
railway world Is had the assurance that
the better times so lonir hoped for arc- cer
tainly close ahead. There- will be better
rates. There * will bo more tralllc. Demor
alizing competitive practices will grow
scarce" . (5ood service on a prolltablc basis
will eltsplaco past assessments with future
dividends. There- run bo no question about
the growth of tralllc.
NEW EHA FOR TIAIMIOADS.
One of the most conservative railway
presidents In the country , In conversation
with me today , estimates that every west
ern railroad will haveIn the * ensuing
twelve months , twice the chance for prolltn
that the last twelve * inomris have offered.
What Is of special eonsequeiico to the rail
way properties of the country Is found In
I lie fact that foreign Investors have- been
favorably Impressed by our national dec
laration for honest finance * . This means
not merely that the substantial stocks ind
bonds of American proportion will be In
demand abroad , but Its great significance
to American railway managements Is that
finally wo shall have a miitket for new rail
way bonds.
Our biggest railroads have been for years
past working1 under disadvantages almost
Insurmountable , through the absence of
unylhlng like a normal bond market. Kx-
tonslons that arc needed have had to bo
postponed. Even legitimate re-newals and
developments other than extensions de
velopments which would bo sure to yield
a tremendous Income upon cost have been
Impossible. This changes , In the new situ
ation which our election results have es
tablished.
In all probability wo Hhnll bo able to
float great Issutu of Investment noctirltlt-s
on the other sideof the ocean , representing
Improvements which will give new and
needed vigor to many of our foremost rail
ways. Not our llttlo ones alone ncei.1 these
benefits ; those that need them most are
among the biggest.
So general has enthusiasm become In
Wall street that It Is really necfssary. In
some quarters , to preach conservatism.
Halds and reactions are certain In the near
future , its tlie-y have been In the recent
past. People who buy on slim marglas
will buy with as much risk as ever. They
who proceed prudently nro certain to reap
rich rewards. However little the buyer
may be , ho can count confidently on having
From this time * on the company of the
richest and ablest and most determined
llnanclers of the country. Every rich man
In America Is now on the bull sldo of the
stock market.
Such n situation has not been with us
'n more than a dozen years. Such men are
patient. They seldom rush. They don't
Ilko too much following1. The-y who are
now taking1 the very largest stock market
Interests may at any time bo most desirous
to help along a Hcthaclc and a scoop. Thi-re
Is. though , value In the * knowledge of them ,
and lesser men , however enthusiastic , must
bo careful. Patience pays the profit that
Is surest. This Is a time for bullishness
for bullishness that Is prudent.

CATTLH TeKlny'M cattle- run was the )
largest of the week rtnee Mumbiy , and still
there were * not enough rattle here to mnko
much of a test of the market. After de-
dueling the eattle consigned direct to pack * _ - <
et-H there were only l.lno hend left on s.ile. \ I
the most of which wereiesttriis. . There
was one train of Oregon heifers.150 head , 1
which constltute-d almost one-half of all
the * cattle1 on sale. '
The market wan strong and active on
killing cattle * of all kinds , nnd thu offer-
lups were * not long In chunglng hands. A
two-load bunch of coinmun native steora '
i 'L'L"13-1- ' : ( ' " -e range steers brought '
* 3.3.ifi3.fki. The- train of western heifers re
ferred to nbove sold at H.05. nnd the built
of the cow Hturt nt J2.rojf.ro.
They iwero no stoekers unil feeders In
thei yard to amount to nnythlng-a few
scattering loads and a few oddri and ends ,
but everything 8old and ut coed , steady
The- past week as regards the c-ittli >
trade has been lltTi-n-iu from unythliiit
e-.xpelloneed n. some time , if ml , t almost
be eMlli-d a holiday week. On . ' .Joiidnv
there- was a very fair MIM or cuttle1 a net
the shippers .stopped theeattle from eoin-
Ilitf until the market should be null I , ' , !
down after elerllon. nnd the week him
connto nn end before the entile cot
started again. A good run Is antli-lii.tt.-
for the coming week , ns shippers are likely
to nil eommenci- forwarding again at the
same time. As to values on killing cattle
the past week bus witnessed FOIIIIllttlii
Improvement , especially In the. case of
butchers' stock. Tnere were so few cattle
he-re that If a buyer wanted a load or two
to make a kllllnc he had to cettle for them ,
and ns a result some c.tttlu have sold
pn-tty high as compared with values of
the ! previous woe-t. ! Shippers cnii hardly
depend upon tinpeniniiuiiry of an iid-
vuneibroiiKbt about under sucli condi
tions , and It would not IK * wlro to count
upon obtaining the prices paid for klllliiff
cattle the- past few elayii , e-sK | > clally for
cow stun" . Very little- business has been
transncte-d In the feeder and stocker di
vision. Operators have been waiting until
there wen1 more rattle and until hiislncsM
had settled down to the normal. The few
received the iiast week have sold , but
there has been no material advance in
values.

of IIOBS nnd with nn Inuumcd nmikct , values
