Of these 194 head were from Chicago and IS from Ohio. Chicago cattle sold at a range of S3 75 to $1 85, and Ohio from $4 50 to $5 00. The Ohio cattle on the market weighed 1.500 lis, and were stritcly prime. Demand was slow and markets were a shade lower than last week. There were 416 head of tbeep and lambs on-the market. Bhecp sold at a range of 4Jic to 5c, and lambs 5c to 6c per ft. The number ot hogs on the market was 75 head, aud the top price was 4i.c There are lew encouraging features in the Wood's Run markets at this date. The general situation favored the bujer more than the seller. The same old story uas repeated at the East Liberty yards: namely, too many common and low grade cattle and too few prime light butcher stock. There were about 140 loads on lhe market this morning aud not a single load of top Mock. In the offering were 25 loads fiom Chicago. The balance were chiefly from Indiana. The prospect of high-priced grain lias eMdently influenced Ohio and Indiana farmers to dumn large quantities of half-grown and h.ilt-f.itted stock on the markets. For this or some reason our stock yards have been receiving an oerdoseof cattle which in years of plenty would be kept at home and fattened for better pi ices. Markets opened fairly steady at prices of lasr Monday. Xo Prime Cattle. Prime butcher cattle weighing about 1,200 Sis would, no doubt, have brought an advance on last week's prices, but the misfortune was that thei e were none of this kind to offer. So far as could be learned the best beeves on the market this morning brought nothing above 4c in a wholesale way. Those that brought this price were 1.3U0 lb steers, lalrly good, hut considera bly short of prime. Prospects were good for shipments of a goodly quantity of common Mock to Eastern markets, as there was no like lihood of their finding buyers here. 'I here were only about teu loads of sheep and lambs on the market this morning, principally lambs Choice stock was scarce aud readily brought outside quotations. Low grades, which were largely in the majority, were slow and heavj. The rauge for sheep was 6c to Pjt The demand lor mutton has evidently declined ot late, aud pork is coming to the. 1 rout. There were about 23 loads of hogs on the market, against 35 last Monday. In to-day's offerings there were about a half-dozen car loids ot good corn-feii Hock. The top price of this grade was $4 6U. Common Yorkers sold at 4 20 to $4 25. and better grades at $4 40 to H 50. 1 he top price at Chicago this morning was $1 53, ai d, no doubt, quality of stock sold there at this figure was fully equal to that which sold at East Liberty for $4 oft. One of the notable tenures of live stock trade for the week past is thai, while some have been stead ily advancing, hams bacon aud mess pork have declined. It mu-t be that some heavy dealers ii provisions are unloading old stock onto markets. IJy Telegraph.

CHICAGO Wheat A fair business was transacted to-day in a speculative way, with very little doing on shipping or milling account. The feeling developed was rather firm early in the session, andprices were advanced c above the opening figures, but an easy feeling set in and prices declined ll?fc, beld steady and closed about lc lower than yesterday. Fine weather in England and lower cables had a tendency to create a qniet and tame opening, but reports of frost in the Northwest and some unfavorable news from that quarter caused the rally in prices alluded to. Then followed a decline, influenced by liberal speculative offer ings. A prominent local trader sold freely, and others followed and did likewise. It was prin cipally a local market, outside news being scarce and not of a character to bare very tell ing effect uuon the market. Corn There was a fair trade, mostly in May. within a Jejjc range. , The feeling prevailing was, on tn whole, steadier, bnt the tree selling of two prominent local traders, who have sold largely of late, had a tendency to hold down prices. First trades were at yBiic advance, after which the market sold up some, reacting Jic advanced c, broke quickly and sold with a slight loss. Oats were unchanged. Mess Pork Trading was moderately active, and prices ruled about 5c higher; later the mar ket weakened, accompanied with a reduction of 1517c: closing prices rallied 25c Lard attracted nnlv fair attention, and there were no particular changes to note in prices. Short Ribs There was a moderate trade. Early sales were made at a slight advance, but more liberal offerings caused an easv feeling temporarily, aud prices receded 25c The market closed quiet at opening figures.

Speculators Begin the Week by LeaYing a Margin for Improvement THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI The census of this year naturally. suggests the subject of the increasing density of popnlation in this country, and it is en couraging to see anydisposition to recognize and consider difficulties and problems which may arise from this source. Until very recently, remarks 67aro!eri and Forest, the people of this country have been un willing to admit the necessity of foresight or self-restraint in any direction. "Waste fulness has been regarded as an indication of broad and generous qualities, and it has become a prominent feature in the national character. All our possessions have beeu con sidered inexhaustible and have been treated accordingly. Wo have slaughtered and de vastated whatever belonged to tho nation, our soil, forests, fish and game, out of mere wanton detructiveness and fully worse than barbaric We shall reap what we have sown. When forest coudltions are destroyed on mountains and hills, and the soil has been swept away in consequence, it can never be restored. We live in a world where means and conditions aro necessary for the production of results and we might as well at once begin to depend upon calling our food out of the air by magic as to expect that an unlimited population will be able to obtain the means of subsistence from soil of which the fertility is steadily dimin ishing. A recent writer says that the point of the whole matter is that the children of the public schools should bo taught the necessity of better cultivation of the land on account of the pros pect that in the future population is likely to press upon the means of subsistence. He thinks II this is done we may rest content for the future, because the Anfto-American race has shown itself.equal to the solution of all the problems it has ever been called to face. But if the people of this country would begin the practice of such methods or living as are re quired by the conditions and circumstances of our own time, it would probably have a better effect on the children than any amount ot theoretical teaching in the schools. Until our towns begin to treat groves and trees along the roadsides and in other public places in a civilized manner, until the different States and the nation adopt a policy of intelli gence in dealing with public foreign interests, mere talk in the schools about forestry aud ag riculture would hare little value or vitality. We can hardly b ope to escape from the obliga tion to act sensibly ourselves in the present in our treatment of these great, important mat ters, by establishing in the schools instruction regarding what should be done in the future.

NEW YORK STOCKS. Unusnnl Activity Ilainmsrlng Operation! Kept Up Some Sharp Doult Scarcity ofMonej "ipurllnSngarlt fineries Animation in Railroad Bonds. New Yobk, September 8. The stock mar ket to-day has possesserlmore animation than usual of late-, but the activity has been caused by the sharp hammering operations which gave to the market all the life It Dossessed last week, and in a few stocks there were sharp declines, while the remainder of the list shows only slim changes as the result of the day's operations. The action of the Secretary of the Treasury in offering to prepay the interest upon the 4 per cents tor the coming year gave a check to tho increasing aggressiveness of the bears. The slow response to the last offer to redeem the 4 percents and the continued low state ot the New York banc reserve, which have now shown a deficit from the requirements of the 25 per cent rule for four weeks in succession, made it imperative that something should be done to meet the drain of currency to the in terior, which seems to have aggregated a larger sum than usual this year. The long continued scarcity of money in this market restricts the business done in stocks to the smallest limits. The pressure upon Burlington and Qulncy was again resumed this morning, and, notwithstanding the fact that the cir cular of the . Treasury Department in regard to- the prepayment of interest upon 4 per cents was the occasion ot opening the market from to per cent material losses were afterward caused in Burlington, the other grangers, Chicago Gas, Union Pacific and specialties. The market became more active and weaker in the afternoon, when the most material losses were sustained, and the only feature in the room was Sugar Refineries, which made a spurt of 2 per cent on favorable rumors from Washington about action upon the sugar schedule. There was no news of a character to bring about any liquidation of long ac counts, and there is no evidence that holders have given way to. any extent but the drive was severe against the late weak stocks, and the extreme loss In Burlington was 3 per cent The dealings showed a great amount of f erer ishness throughout but the downward move ment really ceased only with the close of busi ness, which was quiet but weak at about low est prices of the day. There was, however, some irregularity among the final figures, some stocks showing slight gains, and Sugar an ad vance of IX per cent while the only important losses were Burlington, 2& and Chicago Gas. Railroad bonds were more animated, the total sales of all Issues amounting to $779,000, out of whicliColorado Midland 4s, the onlv active feature, furnished $119,000,and advanced to 75. a gain of 2K per cent, while the list in general was inclined to sympathize with tho weakness in stocks, and most Issues show a de cline this evening. The trading outside of the Issues referred to, however, was devoid of special feature. - Government bonds have "been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull, but without feature. The Fott says: The action of the Secretary of Treasury in ordering the prepayment of tho interest on 4 per cent bonds ud to July 1, 1891, which, if generally accepted by the holders of those bonds, as it undoubtedly will be, will re sult in putting out about $18,000,000, which would otherwise be beld in the Treasury until next year, had a favorable effect both on the London and home markets for stocks. Early prices in London, before our opening, were from Yt to c higher than closing of Saturday. Business was small, except for grangers, but prices fractionally higher. Improvement was due chiefly to the action of the Treasury in anticipating tbe payment of the interest on the 4 per cent bonds, which will release a large amount of money that otherwise would be tied up in the Treasury. Railroad earnings con tinue large, and tbe cotton crop will begin to move in a short time, with a resulting decline in sterling exchange.

Business was rather lively on the wharf yes terday, despite the fact that the water had started on a downward course. Sufficient water is here yet to enable packets to come in and out Captain Henderson, of the Cincinnati packet line, said that it was only a question of a few weeks, from present indications, nntil there would be a stage to run tbe boats until next summer. Some old rivermen predict an open winter, and the prospects are seemingly good for traffic throughout the next six or seven months. To-day tbe big towboat Joseph B. Williams will be sold at public sale, at tbe foot of Ferry street The Williams will likely be purchased by a Southern transportation company, which has had agents here inspecting the big boat for the past week. Local river men will not bid for the Williams to any great extent Driftwood. TlTE Princess, or New Cumberland, was engaged In harbor work yesterday.

A party of eight from this city will go through to New Orleans. Knox A Co. have almost completed building a new boat for the Big Sandy Packet Company. She will be called the Congo, and Is modeled after the Keystone State. It has not been decided what trade she will be rnn in. but she will likely replace the Telegraph In the Cincinnati and Louisville trade, while the latter boat is undergoing repairs. The company will have a boat in the Pittsburg and Cincinnati trade to replace the l.ouls A. Sherley, which was withdrawn for tho Madison line.

Apples are in fair supply and choice stock is in good demand.

Suffice it to say, trade con tinues active and general drift M toward higher prices. Sugars are very firm at tbe recent ad vance.
