NRW YOUK , Oct. 17.-Henry Clews , head
of the banking1 house of Henry Clews & Co. ,
writes :
Wall Ptrcct Ims not yet recovered Its cqitl-
llbrlum nfter the recent radical process oJ

Jmve deprived tlio market of mo.ss of Its
Important element of strength , and the
minor operators nro left to mutt , the shock
of viRoroiiH bear ottackH as bent they may.
The pessimists have been doing the work of
tlie prudent optimists who have weld out and
want to Ret In again , by putting down prices
to a point at which the latter will tiny. How
much further this pioccss may run It Is
not easy to say. As yet It has not reached
n. point at which the "bears" have lost
their daring , but thorn are Indications that
the now level of prices Is bringing out n
cridually Increasing volume of buying.

We rerently showed that on the 20h ! of
Scp'.e-muer prices had , on the avcnmo , fallen
from the standard of the 17th nine points ;
the n-lnve comparison .shows tha : sl.iee the
ft 29th cf St-iitc-mber there has been a further
nverace decline of S > , i points , so that within
the r > ast four l.vceks there has been a fall
of i-y points. That Is certainly n very sub.
etu'itlnl decline under anv rondHotiP , and
cnp elnlly .such ns surround the present mar
ket The f.il ! wits st.irted less from a con
viction that prices were- inflated beyond the
now Intrinsic value linparte-d by the recov
ered condition of the country than because
speculation had run to sneh excesses as to
thrmten n serlono breakdown unless Ihe
eve - lo'ticere checked and r.-meulleil. That
check 1ms been most vigorously applied ; a
vast amount of liquidation has iu.pn effect
ed ; t-.ero Is no ivek'.ess buying , but rather
nn excels of caution , and the conviction N
KPiirrnl that , when the present mood Is past ,
prices will ngnln materially recover.
THUICN DISTUIUIINC KU3MKXTS.
At the moment , thre > e Influences are af
fecting Hie maikct unfnvornbly thu yellow
fever , the election excitement and the new
phase1 of Cuban affairs. The latter Is nol
colculated to prec.'pltnte any immediate ac
tion on the p.ir ! of our government. The
pioml'es of the new Spanish administration
miggests u possibility that something may
us effected toward tie cone-Illation of Cuba ;
the > latest symptoms from WnsMng.on arc
favorable , nnd on that account our govern
ment may IIP expected to refrain at least
from any Immediate. Interposition ; In brief
the ne..v situation means pos.ponement. The
yellow fever begins to show somiabate -
in'nt ; It Is now well under quarantine regu
lation , anel the needless Interference of
nhotgiin methods of protection Is being so
controlled as to ( prevent unnecessary Inter
ference with tr.ide and tr.insporintlon ,
which has run Into Inexcusable exeesbesi.
JJcaKy , at present , there Is no serious quar
antine ) embargo upon Ihe trnflle ; of any Im
portant rnllioads. The ln-erferenci < with
the market arising from the city election
canvass Is. nfter all. chlelly a matter ol
sentiment and ' .ins no direct relation to the
value of the properties represented on UK-
Stock exchange. The "bears" exaggerate
this factor by mngnl'ylng the chances of
candidates whose election would lie least
comluslvu to the Interests of the city , but
tl cy do not succeed In e'onee.illng from Wall
stieet that the local Interests of Greater
New York are not the Interests of 'the
United States.
In any event , each of the ? < ? three factors
lias already been made to do duty for the
pessimists' muc'.i beyond what their Intrinsic
Importance warrants. They have been used
to force ) dti.vn prices to a point which It
would ssem must bring a turn In the mar
ket. The men who are holding back 1m-
fliortant buying orders have so far kept close ;
rank , but should one or two of them be
tempted by the prevailing low prices , their
notion might easily precipitate- buying
rally In prices. T'.ere Is an Idea at the mo
ment that the market will continue In its
jncsent unsettled condition until after t.ie-
election. Wo do not deny that possibility ,
but there Is perhaps quite an equal ehanei-
tha1 a reacllon from over-discounting the

created a little bullish Hurry an hour after

N'RW YOHIv , Oct. 17. The Financier says :
A ft : > .lire of the statement of the asso
ciated banks of New York City for the
week ended October I5 that has attracted
fomei attention MUS the shrinkage In loans.
It Is rafier difficult to explain the lo s , cx-
cert 0:1 the theory that there has been a
great deal of liquidation In stock exciange
business , and In analysis of the Items of the
Individual banks shows that the loan
changes In two large Institutions the Na
tional Union and the National City banks-
account for the difference reported since the
previous week. The effect of the gold Ini-
5101 ts Is shown In the cast < of specie. The
gain of legal tenders the first expansion In
this Item since August 2S seems to show
that the Interior movement Is nearlng an
end. This Is not exactly to ! case , although
the ilrain miring the week has In en less
than usual and the trcasmy demands have
betn light. All the gold Imported hist week
doen not figure In the totals , so that It Is
renttissahle to suppose that the position of
the. banhw , so far as cash Is concerned , I *
stronger tfv.in Indicated. The statement
points to an easier money market , In the
absence of any marked nctlvl y In specula
tion , and 'he otllclal ftatements of fie ri-
tlonal bnnks of the 1'nlted Stiles as pub-
lls.ied last week , showing their strong poil-
tlou with reference to reserves , strensihen
this view. The rising rates for money
abroad and the continued ease here , fore
shadow a Httuatlon such as prevailed last
season , when the United States sent large
iMiiou"J to Kurojie on sterling bills. The
quo at'ons for money In New Voik and Lon
don are undergoing changes lAhlch will
probably place them above domestic rates
for some time to come.

TAX1.VO SHKKP IX THAX.SIT.
.Supreme Court \Vj-oiiilnnr I" A
CHKVBNNK , Wyo. . Oct. 17.-Speclal.- ( )
Thcro wns argued before the supreme court
of Wyoming yesterday a question of vital
Interest not only to the state of Wyoming ,
but to the neighboring states. Tlio decision
of the court will settle the right of the state
to tax large bniuls of sheep which are driven
tbrough this state every fall.
For scvoral years Wyoming legislatures
have adopted laws authorizing the taxation-
of such sheep , and many bitter contests have
been waged In the different legislatures with
reference to such provisions. Tlio 1895 legis
lature passed n law making It the duty of
thu county assessor to assess nil live Block
brought Into the state for the purpose of
grazing and to collect a full year's tax from
the owners of such live stock. In 1895 one
John Kelley of Nebraska was driving a band
of 10,000 sheep from Utah to Pine Dlults ,
Wyo. , at which plnce they wetc to be loaded
on the cars and shipped to the Chicago mar
ket. 0. P. Hhodes , at that time assessor
of the county of Laramlc , taking with him
a deputy sheriff , demanded n full year's tax
from Kelley's agent. The agent refused to
pay the tax , whereupon llhoeles threatened
to seize enough sheep to satisfy the claim
of the county and sell them. Thereupon the
agent paid the tax , and suit wns Immediately
brought against Hhodes for Its recovery.
The district court of Laramie county re
served the case to the supreme court of the
state of Wyoming , asking the opinion of the
latter upon ccttaln < | uestlons of law.
In the argument yesterday Mr. Kelley'n
attorney. Secretary of State Uurdlck , Insisted
that the act of the legislature of 1895 wns
void as nn Interference "with Interstate ccm-
merce. It was claimed that the sheep were
brought Into -the state for the purprse of
taking them on their way cast to market
and that being merely In tra.islt through
the state the provision of the United
States constitution denying to states
the rlgh : to tax Interstate commerce
applied , and that the act ot the Wyoming
legislature was therefore void. The act was
also attacked on the ground that It lock from
the owners ct property their property with
out due process of law , and wns therefore
void as being In conflict with the state and
federal constitutions.
The county ot Laramle , through County
Attorney H. W. Brcckous , claimed that the
state had the right to adopt such legislation.
H was said that the act , merely taxi'd sheep
brought into the state for the purpose of
gracing and did not , by Its terms , Include
sheep In transit through the state to some
neighboring state. While Mr. Kelley claimed
tlmt hl3 sheep were merely brought en hoof
through the state of Wyoming for the pur
pose of taking them to market , this claim
was controverted by the facts In the case.
The usual inethcd of shining live stock at
the picscnt time wns by rail and when sheep
were carried to market in a different and
unusual manner and increased in value while
being so carried it was , plain that the evldsut
purpose of so taking them to market waste
to Increase their value and to get the benefit
of the open range In the state. This , the
ceunty claimed , was an Identification of the
property with the mass of the property of
the state , and It was therefore taxable.
The contention of Kelley , that the act
permitted the taking of property without
duo course of law , was denied. The consti
tutional rule was applied In cases only w'ncre
the duties ot the assessor were judicial in
their nature and not ministerial. So far as
the duties of the assessor In the state of
Wyoming are concerned , It was said that
they were purely ministerial , since , by the
constitution ot this state , the state board
of equalization has power to fix the value
of the sheep , and the only thing left for the
assessor to do Is to ascertain the number of
the sheep.
Other qiiestlona were also raised by the
parties In their arguments , presenting prop
ositions which have never been settled by
the supreme court In this state. It was
claimed In the argument by the county that
the payment by Kelley was a voluntary pay
ment anel that no recovery could be had ,
and further , that the suit , Instead of being
brought against Rhodes as assessor , should
have been brought against him In his Indi
vidual capacity.
The decision of the court In this case will
settle to a large extent the. validity of the
act of the Wyoming legislature for 1S95 con
cerning which there was so much dbiusMlon.
The act of lS9"i ! was repealed by the 1S97 leg
islature in a bill enacted which also pro
vided for the taxation of sheep bro'uht Into
the state for the purpose of grazing , and
settling in detail the manner in which
county officers should proceed In the collec
tion of the tax.
The decision of the court will be awaited
with Interest by both cattlemen and sheep
men. The cattlemen maintain that. Inas
much as the sheep owners not only share the
benefits of the state with other property
owners , but that their property ruins the
range , they shoulld bo compelled to pay
taxes with other property owners. On the
other hand , the sheepmen claim that they
have the right to take their sheep to mar
ket In whatever manner they choose , and
that whllo passing through any given state
thcv arc protected by the provisions of the
Ui'ltoil States constitution relating to Inter
state commerce.
At the conclusion of the arguments , which
wore very lengthy ami exhaustive , the court
took the matter under advisement.
An Honest Itenu-il j .
"Wo could not say fo much In favor of
Chamberlain's Couph Remedy. About three
years ago one of our children had an attack
of croup nnd we were afraid that we would
lese him. Seeing Chimberlain's Cough
Remedy , advertised , we decided to glvo It a
trial. It gave almost Instant relief and we
bollevo It saved the child's life. Rlnco then1
wo have never been without a bottle of this
remedy In the house and we recommend It
to every one as being an honest cousih rem
