The bears had a hand In the decline. but Jho domain } from shorts to cover was light and rallies ) n tha genera ) ] | st were fit small proportions. The movement of rail roads generally through the morning were exceedingly sinalj ellfier way except In a few Individual cases.

Only a JItlle before noon Oamha anc' Northwecicrn were , pushed up on a rwya of the old story of the absorption of ( hi formef by ( he latter.

London nant higher prices and. bought here to a moderate ex tent , but this eupport was without avail to sustain the market , The fear of an n- favomblo bnnk statement was a heavy weight on the market. The Now York clearing houic banks have lout heavily during the week , both on the Interior move ment and to the stib-traaaury. Shipments on balancn to the Interior to the extent of nearly W.WO.OOO can be traced. The fltato- monts of the sub-treasury during the wock show that institution to have absorbed on account of Internal revenue and customs payments and deposits for shipment to the Interior * omcthlng like JS.800,000 , after al lowing for payment of J700.000 on account of draftn from the San Francisco mint. Some allowance Is to be made for receipts in gold at assay oIHces which are credited to the banks , but there Is apparent loss of cash of nearly fB.000,000.

With so few cattle hero it seemed a good deal like a Saturday's market. As It was , there were hardly enough of any one kind to create much enthusiasm in the market. Buyers were out early , however , nnd about everything changed hands in a very short time. A * to prices , there was not much change In the general market. Beat Btera were in good demand and brought steady prices , but there wan noth ing cholc in the yards to put a top on the market , an will bo noted from the sales below. Only a very few loads of cows and _ heif ers and some odds and ends were offered on the market , the most of them on the common order. The market did not show much change. Bulls , stags , calves , etc. , were Just about steady. It always nuppens as the week draws to a close that the scramble for feeders lets up ; and thora was no exception to the rule today. Speculators did not appear very anxious about buying and were not out as early and when they did thow up It was apparent from their actions that they were , determined to get the , cattle worth the pioney or let them , alone. The result waa that anything but th very best kinds were slow'sale. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

A new peril seems to threaten white men In South Africa. They are In danger of being' cut Into love charms and used to Increase the marriage rate among the natives , says the New York Presg. The flesh of a European Is considered by the black Inhabitants of Natal as a charm powerful enough to compel the , love of any unwilling maiden. When a young black man lovea a maiden and his love IB not reciprocated he goes to a witch doctor ! and asks for a love philter. Other philters of , a milder potency having been tried and the , maiden still remaining obdurate and refusIng - I ' Ing to love her black suitor , the witch doctor , as a last resort , prescribes the flesh of a white man. Murders committed for the possession of the coveted white fleah , whllo not common , occur from time to time. News has been re ceived from Natal of the hanging at Harding of a witch doctor and his pupil for the murder of a farmer named Kay. The farmer was dragged from his bed at'nlght and , after being stabbed several times with an assegai , his throat was cut and his body left on the veldt. Part of the dead man's neck was cut away , and subsequently found In the witch doetor'a bag , with other "medicines. " The "head devil" In the murder was a witch doctor named Umtonl. With him was asso ciated his pupil , Slbalwcnl. Slbalwenl had not yet taken his degree as a witch doctor , but was stuydlng under Um- tani , who considered him a promising pupil. The two men were helped In the murder by two men who seem to have been simply em ployes of Umtani's college of medicine. These two men received life sentences.
