CATTLE There nai a liberal run of cat.
tlo here today and the market was slow and
lower all nround, Othor points reported
sharp declines, so that this market was In
11110 Willi tii rest.
Buyers were very backward about taklnz
hold of cornfed steers this morning and the
mas tnai wero placed wero unevenly lower.
Sellers wero not willing to make tho con
cessions asked, and, as a result. It was late
beforo much of anything was done. About
all that can be said or tho market Is that
It was very dull and unevenly lower, tho
greatest decline being on the common and
nair-rat sturr.
I'ackcrs all teemed to want rows, but
tney were all trying to buy them lower.
The cow market was also uneven, sales be.
lng made that looked no more than a nickel
lower, while others wore lOo or 15o lower
than at the close of lost week. Tbo
greatest decline was naturally on Uie less
desirable kinds In the majority of cases.
but sellers frequently had to sell even tho
Desi Kinus considerably lower man inev
would have brought last week.
Good heavyweight feeders Bold In falrlv
good shano this morning, nrlces beinsr 1tit
aooui sieaay wun me cioso or last week.
There were, however, verv few cattle that
would answer to mat description, tne great
bulk of tho cattle being lightweights of
none too good quality. The market on the
light and common kinds was In very bad
shape and In many cases sellers found it
almost impossible to set a bid on them.
There Is almost no demand from the
country ror light Blockers, and. nu r re.
sulr, yard traders do not care to have
any on uanu. it is dimcuit 10 tell Just how
much lower the market Is on that class
or stuff, as It has been going down at a
rapid rate and it was lata today lie Torn
unyming wns done.
Tiiore were only a few western grass
beef cattle here today, and, ns usual, they
sold at Just about steady prices, though
me weaK reeling on cornreus nnturally had
a tendency to make grass cattle lower.
What has been said abovo regarding tho
saie or native cows, reeaers, etc., can bo
applied equally well to tho grass stuff
oircren on me muritet touay. Represent

Klib and I'lnu Thn I Conic to thr Hello
Girl (Iter the Wlrr.
"It's very curious how talk ebbs snd
flows over tho wires," said a Now Orleans
telephone girl. Low tldo Is nt 1:30 In tho
morning. Around that time several min
utes will sometimes clarso when nobody
In this whole hit city Is using tho 'phono.
When you come to think nbout It, that Is
something very remarkable. Ilctwcen 1
and 2 o'clock tho tails will average from
160 to ISO, rarely more, hut, for somo
reason I wns never nblo to understand,
business ulwnys picks up between 2 nnd 3
In fact, nearly doubles. Then for
ciiully mysterious reasons thcro Is another
lull and tho hour between 3 and 4 Is nl
most as quiet nn between 1 and 2. I hnvo
oltcn tried to llguro out sonio theory for
those two curious fluctuations, but have
never even hit upon ono that was cu-n
plausible.
"After 4 o'clock, however, thero Is n
steady nnd continuous Increase in the
stream of talk. Wo girls who havo been
In thu exchnnge n good whllo get lo know
exactly how tho city wakes up. The mar
ket men head tho proccsklou nnd then fol
low tho different tradespeople atid clerks
nnd ofllco employes, according to tho neces
sities of their various callings. All of
them uso tho 'phono moro nr less and It
Is ery curious nnd Interesting to watch
the Rrmluntlona by which tho community
settles down to Its day's work. Hy 9
o'clock the rush of traffic has becomo
somethlng tremendous und It grows by
leaps and bounds until it reaches n climax
t 10. From 9 to 10 tho calls often exceed
4.000. Then thcro Is n slight falling off,
becoming moro marked ns tho day ad
vances, nnd between 4 and fi nlnc-tcuthi
of tho business 'nhoueu have miiiiM,.,!.
nut, oddly enough, tho resldcnco 'nhones
at thut Juucturo suddenly take up tho talo
and their hrnvlcit business Is between 4
and 6. I aupposo tho business folks nro
through then with tho main cares of tho
dny and hnve u little leisure for loug-dls-tnnco
gossip. Throughout tho early even
ing calls don't vary much ono way or the
other and with 9 o'clock they begin to
dwindle slendlly down to 1:30, which, as
I said beforo, Is extreme low-wuler mark.
"How many calls cun n girl attend to
In an hour? Well, I havo mado connec
tions for 300 talks between U and 10, ex
clusive of tho numbers I reported as busy."

C. Newell Lodge has Just received a let
ter addressed tolilni that girdled tho globe,
reports tho ludlamipolts Press. It wua sent
from Indianapolis January 13 last ut 10 a.
"J. I'V (-ass Connaway und wns addressed
to Tabriz, Persia. This city Is In tho heart
or Persia and every ounce of mall matter
reaching It goes in on tho backs of camels.
Of courso Mr. Lodse wus not nt Tabriz and,
as the upper left hand corner of tho enve
lope contains tho direction, "in llvo days
forward to Kioto, Julian," It wns sent on
its Journey. After Its arrival thero It was
duly advertised by tho Japnneso postal au
thorities, but. ns Mr. Lodge- was busy prac
ticing law at Indianapolis, ho did not call
t?1,."'. K? ,no letter was forwarded to thn
United Stntes via 11 Paclllc mall steamer,
and flnnlly reuched the dead letter olllce.
Yesterday Mr. Connaway sent Mr. Lmlgn
another letter. It was addressed to itang
kok. Slam, In can-of King Chulalonghons.
Some months ngo a number of young men
were lounging around a club und tho con
versation turned on Mr. Lodge's letter,
which was then making Its weary Journov
around the world. ()no young man salii.
half Jokingly: "I think I will make 11 sight
draft 011 the sultan of Turkey." Tho Idea
was so original that ho was urged lo mukn
tho experiment, und accordingly the next
morning ho drew a sight draft, payable to
himself, and sent It forward through 11
local bank. In duo time ho received word
that the draft had been paid and that his
bank account hnd been Increased to tho ex
tent of J25. It Is thought that tho minister
of finance or the chancellor of the ex
chequer, or whntever otllclal has charge of
his sultanlc majesty's llnances thought It
nn easier plan to pay tho drnft than niako
the matter a subject of diplomatic corre
spondence, Thn Indianapolis man that made
the draft feels that Etironean nml Aninti,.
rulers are such easy gumo that ho Is think
ing of drawing on tho shah of Persl.
