The stock market was without stimulus of
any kind to-day, but the pressure to sell was
much less thau yesterday, and as a consequence
prices moved more in obedience to natural in
c ination than for some time past. All the news
of the day, which was very meager, was rather
of a favorable tenor, but was not of a character
to have any material effect upon the course of
prices. T. e railroad statements were all on the
rigut side of the account, and the reports from
Boston went to show that the failure of Potter,
Lovell & Go. would not turn out so bad as ex
pected. Report* from Washington, however,
did not give so favorable a prospect for Sugar
Refineries, and lee* business was done in that
stock, witn some reaction from the advance of
yesterday. The b3ars renewed the pressure
upo 1 Chicago Gas, and to a lesser extent on
Burlington and Quincy, but only in the former
was there any impression made, and B irlingtoa
aud Quincy rallied vigorously; while Rock
Ishmd was firm, with ligit transactions. St.
Paul again occupied a prominent place in the
dealing!, but as usual of lat> its fluctuations
were small, with an upward tendency. Lacka
wanna was toe feature, and showed marked
strength at times under considerable anima
tion. Illinois Central soil higher, and is still In
demand at a premium for use, while late in the

day none was offered below 112, which la 1 per
cent better fan the last sale before it was
marsed ol ao rapidly, eo that in this stock at
least it looks as If the bears were paying dearly
for their whistle. Speculative spec ilation re
mains the same, and while bears are resting
from their exertions of the past few days, bulls
do not seem to be inclined to take hold with
any increased vigor, and hoid -rs of securities
think it is npt a good time to sell stocks. The
market showed more animation in spot* tuan
usual of late- while the number of stocks traded
in was smaller than usual. The remarkable
feature of the day was the strength displayed
in the afternoon in the face of the high rates
exacted for money, which reached 25 per oent.
at one time and closed at 29. There were a
large number of loan* called, and shifting of
loans made a sharp demand. Toe weakness in
Chicago Gas was accompanied by the old
rumors of some action against the company by
the local authorities The demand in the loan
crowd for stocks was fully as urgent as that
for money. Indications of easy money gave
bulls encouragement. Bears were taking in
their contracts under cover of high rates for
money. Realizations in the last few minutes
caused a slight setback, but the close wa* strong
while dull at close to the oast prices of the day.
Final changes, with a few unimportant
exceptions, are almost entirely in an upward
direction. The sales of listed stocks aggregated
145.000 shares and unlisted 21,000 shares. The

The Sun’s cotton review says: ‘‘Fotures
opened at two to four points advance, clueing
firm at an advance of six to seven points oa
near and two to three points on late months
from yesterday's closing prices. The market
opened at the sain-' advance, in response to
further and decided Improvement in the Liver
pool market, but prices aimost immediately re
ceded to about the closing prices of yesterday.
It seemed to be beiittyefi tnat Liverpool was not
likely to go much higher at present, and selling
to realize was the order of the moment. There
was. besides, a disposition to discount the de
cline in that market. Then came a report from
Liverpool that the bureau report due to-morrow
will show an average condition of MlO growing
orop not only below- August, but below last
September; in fact, 83 per cent, was the figure
given, and on this there was a fresh bull move
meut, which became, however, quite languid In
later dealings, in view of the very favorable
crop prospects offered at the present time and
full receipts at the port*. Spot cotton was
steady but less active. ’

How tho Broken-down Nags ere Dis
posed Of.
From the Bt. Louis Beoublie.
“Henry Zier, horse and goat butcher.”
This is the official title of the thin, neat
looking, mild-eyed gentleman who offi
ciates at the Central park slaughter house,
just at the Sixty-sixth street entrance ou
Eighth avenue, says the New York
Journal.
Every other day Mr. Zier takes an old
horse out of the ad joining stable, quietly
ties his hind legs to a rope, which is at
tached to a wheel and pulley, ami in a jiffy
the horse is in the air, kicking for life,
whiie, with one well-directed stroke of his
ax, the butcher knocks all consciousness
out of the animal’s head, and within five
minutes he is skinned, quartered, and tho
ice box is filled with as tasty and nicely cut
horse meat as ever satiated tho appetite of
carnivora. “These horses,” said Mr. Zier,
are usually very old, and we buy them from
dealers for from ?2 to $4 apieoo.
•"Ou an average a horse will give 400
pounds of meat, and the animals generally
get away with a 150 pounds a day. So you
see we can get along with one horse every
other day.
“Is the meat tonder ? Why, ye*, fairlv so.
The animals like it ns well beef. But they
do object to mule meat.
“I’ve only killed two of them since I’ve
been here, and when we fed them to tho
Uon I thought he’d break the bars. It was
like giving him leather. It was simply im
possible for him to get a bite.
“Of course, when the little goats who are
used to run the goat carriages get old or are
no longer lit for use, we kill them and feed
tho meat to the animals. Asa rule, that is
a groat feast. They could stand gout meat
every day.
“The horse skin brings as muoh ns $2 and
$3,” added Mr. Zier. “Ia fact, it is fairly
valuable. You see they make boot legs out
of it, and the buggy tops you see around are
made of horse leather.
“The bones are of no account. Desiccat
ing works don’t care for them, and, as a
rule, we have hard work disposing of them.
“We have very funny experiences. The
men who know that wo buy old horse3 come
with all kinds of nags, and, as a rule, we
take all they bring. But one denier re
cently came to Mr. Conkling with about as
aged an animal as ever walked into the
park.
“He was told to bring it over to mo and
that I would give him tl for it. Slowly
be walked the old creature through the
transverse road, and just as it got to tho
gate it fell dead.
“Tho man wanted his dollar, but we
wanted a live horse. The result was that he
had to pay for carting the animal away.”
The Central Park slaughter-house is just
back of tho mounted park police t-tnblos, at
Sixty-sixth street and Eighth avenue, and
is a small building made up with all the
paraphernalia of a large establishment. Its
floor is of iron, and in one corner is the
trough through which the blood is allowed
to run into tho public sewer.
A wheel fastened to tho rafters is used to
wind a rope around a long pole, to which a
huge hook is attached. To this the hind leg
of the animal is tied, and the moment he is
pulled up a stroke of the ax aimed at its
head ends life, aud then the body is cut up
and tho most is stored away.
The animals are usually fed on the best
there is in the hay-loft for four days, and
when they begin to look a little bit sleek
they are ready for the slaughter.
There are fully 1,000 families in Now
York that live on the horse moat sold by
these dealers, and were it not for the popu
lar prejudice on tho subject it would prove
a very profitable article if placed ou sale in
the butcher shops.
“Young herse moat is as tender and nutri
tious as beef,” said orie of these old horse
dealers, and lam only too glad to prove
this to people who have an idea that it is not
palatable. We sell it very cheaply, because
the demand is very light, but 1 have ous
pimers who wouldn’t think of buying any
other kind of meat, and pnza ‘horse steak’
above anything.”
