12, THE HORSES. Condition and Prospects of the Equine Patients. Dropsy Prevailing to a Limit- ed Extent. o Possibility of a Continuance of’ the Steam Xuwmmies. Weekly Rerort of the President of the Humare Society. "The new phase of the horse disease saould be 1o surprise to the readers of Tk TRIBUNE, for from the firat our reports of the epizootic have bean derived from the best veterinary authori- "ties, here and abroad, all of whom agreed in the absolute nocessity of sparing the sick horses from work, und the no less absolute certainty that not a fow animals impaired by previous dis- case and overwork would permanently suffer from this malady even, if it did not prove fatal. The tendency of the disesse to sttack the Lid- neys and induce dropsy haa, within the past few days,been shown in an increased number of cuses, chiofly among the overworked and inju- diciously exposed horses, though there are some cases reported where the animals have been of -z better class, and well,—perhaps too well well,—cared for. It is a question in many cases, probebly, whother the horse has suffered more #rom the epizootic than from the empiricism of manystables. At all events, onr veterinaries are £ull of the discussion of dropsy, and studying, in a puzzled manner, the swelling outlines of some of their horse patients. These fscts indicate, while they do not solve the problem of, how street travel i’ to be done during the inclement months to come, especially ‘on the street railways, forit is upon the horses of the street railway companies that the bulk of sbor is thrown. It is their business to go, even when teams are hauled off, and there is all the tmore neceesity of their going when private owners shut up their horses and rely upon street conveyances. THE STEAM DUMMY seems to be the only measure of available relief, 8nd it is regarded only as a measure of relief, held etrictly by sufferance and pecial concession by the Common Council, who have no idea of giving up the streets to steam. As an emergen- cy measure only are the dummies to be consid- ered. , - The Nortk Side Railway, with their Graceland dummy and large sensible double end cars, have been ablé to do s large business and carry heavy €rains, fo the satisfaction of North Side resi- dents. They are thus in readiness to Leep up their communications throughout the heaviest daily periods of work, and the most inclement yortion of the nextfew months, and largely relisva their horses, upon ‘which can thus be throwm only light Awork in the intermediate portions of the day when there is less demand. The City Railway Cotapany, on the South Side, are less well sup- plied for steam dummy work. Their available dummies are weakly, worn-out affsirs, much given to asthma aud rhenmatism, with tenden- cies to sudden paralygis, and have given them anuch trouble. ~The * bobtail” cars that belong to Indianapolis and Janesville rather than Chi- cago, and have never been popular here, cannot e made up into dummy trains. The open cars are. admirable, but not a winter ountfit. The “Company are a live corporation, and will meet svery demand on them. They have fought an admirable fight with the difficultics of the situa~ tion, and probably now regret their steam dammy arrangements were not complete to relieve their sick horses. It may be absolutely necessary for Rhe public that some restricted permission be given to run & full dummy train at certain peri- ods of the heavier work of the day, when the xush of travel is greatest, especially in severe Wrenther, if the present aspect of theirs and sev- weral other stables does not improve. They have Deen dis:ggointed in the exemption expected, and find that the sick horses of last spring have suffered with the rest, leaving their stock in & rather unpromising condition, looking forward fo the vicissitudes of the pext four months. The Bonth Side residents have bad, and will conticue to enjoy, stesm railroad Yacilities that will largely relieve them Muring the winter months, but _the more central street rontes of the city railway wre needed and must be kept open. This ques- tion, however, comes more nearly home to an HUNDRED THOUSAND WEST SIDE RESIDENTS who have only the street connections with the w<ity. The West Side Railway Company's stock have suffered severely, aud many of them are -out of condition for severe winter work, such a8 s the lot of the horse-car steed. The officers of the Company are diecussing the necessity of securing. two dummies of better construction ¢han anyin mse here, to be employed on the ‘outer lives, with a readiness to yield to the mecessity of bringing full dummy trains at re- stricted peribds down to Madison street bridge, ‘4o receive the heavy morning, noon, and tea-time travel, leaving the horses to the intermediate Jighter work unlessinclement weather forcesthem =vinterval to haul off the invalid quadrupeds al- together. The officers of the West Side Compa- ny have corresponded extensively with the horae-car officials in New York and Boston, and the story is an univereal one that it will be a ‘work of extreme difficulty, which may become a0 .impossibility, to do all their work with horses this winter, and the belief is universal that steam must como to the relief. There is o quarter of the city, as we have shown, more vitj.\y interested in this whole subject than the -central and most populous quarter of the West Division, where multitudes of citizens will be Vastly incommoded before spring unless some- thing is done. A VISIT TO THE STABLES. To ascertain, if possible, the real condition of the horses of the city, a RIBUNE reporfer yos- terdsy made a circnit of =l the principal stables of the city, as also a call upon the Humane So- iety, with the following results : At Howland’s livery stzble, on Twenty-second ptroot, no dropsical cases were found, bat & gen- ‘tlaman in the office informed .the reporter that he had heard of two yesterdey morning. He seid they were both gerions, and that one of the horses had been worked, and the other had not. At Hanchett & Carter's, Twelfth street stable, the horses were in good condition, but one bein; afficted with dropsy, and this animal was ol and has been more or less afflicted with the -game dicease for some time. At the Omaha stables no cases of dropsy were reported. = At the stables of the Z.- I. P. omnibus line, the reporter found Mr. John Walsh, the Assist~ ant Superintendent, thrusting the point of ‘a gharp me into the legs of numerous old ‘bachelor nags, to ascertain whether or not the dropsy bad affected them. He decided that no dropsical cases had occurred in hig barn, and b anticipated no trouble. From Yonng's barn comes the same report. At the Sonth Side Railway stables, the re- orter expected to see numerous “swells” geing 1ed into such expectstion by some dropsi- cal reports_concerning these stables; but he vas agreeably disappointed, being informed by . & personal examination of the bam, that but £wo horses were on the “swell.” Nelfl;ar of these had been in harness since the epizootic first appeared in the city. At Wright's barn, on NMonroe street, and Browne's, on Madison street, no ““swell™ cases orted. we{{ere 'an Buren street car barn was free from " the dropsy, but the epizootic carried off one poor avimal Friday night. They were not so sure whether the dropsy would prevail to any cunaidmbt]:“exgene or not, and the reporter wss ble to them, %:Nnrth Side barn nurses esy that they have 1o patients affected with dropsy, sud hope to have their hospitals emptied by mext Thurs- dsy. i ‘The West Bide stables are caring most tender- 1y for their animals, and intend to keep them in o luxury of rest for & waek yet. This will not ‘e welcome information to West Side residents, ‘whose limb: 2 ; h&ve only"}zeez{_m relieved during the it 3 e omnibus lines. & P.;r.w elfouvin, who has charge of the United Btates and’ American Express Barns, says that there.are four horses-in the American Compa~ ny’s barn l.fiiictedh with whxt_lglcqlad the dropaBy. t they are rapidly improving. He e Do oo tho. oporter that. wo of Far. well & Co.’s borses which have not been in use for several weeks have been dropsical, but are = 'd:’gfem r%pnrt from the public barns is, -fore _insi, that dropsy does ot prevatl to any coxi ble extent, but it ii‘prq\nglu that nany barns have foolishly concealdd trom reportérs ti real aitus- tion, and the above reports may be taken with some reetivation, - - et The HumaneBocfely raport that the condition'of boreesia riuch more serjous than will he acknowl- edged. They declare that fully- 300. horses tre .eithtr fully developed in 8 dropeigsl wiy, or have aitendency in that directips. - Fheir “theory-of the present conditiol bi/aifairs; as stated by Dr. Braveon, jses follows: ~~ 1 - Tt kesult of the epizootic ‘upon ,the - blood of the hiize, and the runping at the nose, was to reduce its -density and mikgit'thin, snd when put to Iabor the ;Tesult 1 that the blood géts thinner, snd fioally. runs into"Water, when, obeying the L of gravitatiow; it eattles in the legm.of ‘the animal, I predict that all {hebo horses that aye being worked, who haf #eak con- stituticns; will b6 yet taken with the dropsy, and the result.b thak many will df¢, and the winter will bo gone before the end of thie horse disease will come, If Borsps were naw putup for 2 week, and well fed, eo that thelr blood fight thicken before use, all the drop- sical teoubles expbriencsd Jn New York would bo a led, . It will' be'seen that the Humane Society state the matter with more serlousness than the own- ers of the various barns, The public will bave to judge of the situation for themsslves, and owners of private- stock act upon their 6wn judgmant. Perhaps it would be well to regard the experience of New York, and rest our horses for & week of.more yet. It would be much better that we.dismisa them from service for & week, than rov'tHeriek of losing them during N .dead horees received at the Union Rendering Eatablishment yesterday.

The following is the reportgf,the Tllinois Hau- mane Society for the week enditig Nov. 16: To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune 3 B ;. We beg leave to report that the.sanitary dition of the horses affected by the epizootic in this city has greatly improved during tho past week., Whero pruper care and treatment have been given them, the nimais have generally been able to resume work; but where they were worked while still debilitated, = they have almost invariably re- lapsed. and in many cases have died. Some cases of dropsy have. appeared, evidently induced by on impoverished atate of theé blood, caused by the previous sickness; we are happy to state, however, that these cases hive been few. We woumm ‘urge owners not to work their horsea a8 if they ot been sick. Fora long time they will need lighter loads, more rest and. care, better feed and. ‘bedding, as well o8 pure air in their stables, It ia also very im) tthat the men in charge of stalles should be men of sober habits, We find the man hav- ing chargo of the stable of ane of our largest.teaming firms in a chronic state of drunkenness,—not fit to Tave the care of borses, or anything else, We would suggest that it is high time that calks were put on the shoes of all horses, and particularly of team- horses, No horse can pulleven a light loed, at this time of the year, with smooth shoes, and it is very poor economy (to ssy mothing of the cruelty) to require it of them, Should this suggestion not be promptly &t~ tended to, we shall soon be compelled to adopt soverer measures, Onr agents are more than ever convinced that a gen- eral weeding-out process is needed among the veteri- mary practitioners in this city (snd everywhero else), and would euggest tothe educated veterinary surgeona that they should organize a soclety, to consist only of such membersas can passa strict examination by a compefent Board of Examiners, In this way the standing of this highly important profession would 800n become raised o ts trus dignity. We_ate sorry to say that the condition of the oxen used for teaming in this city is fast becoming pitiable. Drivers who never maltreat their horses seem to think that oxen are incapableof pain or suffering, and con- sequently greatly overload them, besides tresting them cruelly in various wags. In one instsnce we found two yoke of oxen, Dbelonglng fo ome of our heaviest iron-desing houses, frying to draw 8 wagon weighing about two toms, loaded with 150 kegs of nails—a gross weight of nesrly ten tons—while the shontsand blows of the drivers conld e heard for several blocks | In the nineteenth century of our Lord, and in & Christisn city, it would seem a3 if such things ought not to be, A" merciful man is ‘mercifil to his beast.” Respectfuily, - Epwix Lee Browy, President Illinois Humane Society, MONEY AND COMRERCE. MONETARY. BaTurpAY EVENING, Nov.16. The week cloges upon 2 quiet though stringent ‘money market. Throughout the week the banks have all refused good paper, which they would have been glad to take if their availablo surplus would permit. The movement of the hog crop, now just beginning, will undoubtedly relieve the merket to some extent in a week or two. In the open ‘market money is scarce, at 13§ per cent per month, and in Bome instances 2 per cent is aid. On_collaterals, money i8 offered by rokers at 15 per cent per annum. New York exchangeis firm at 50¢ to 75¢ per €1,000 premium for sales between banks.

First—The legal standard in Germany. Second—The Bank Act in England, and third—the want of banking facilities in Germany: THE CIRCULATION OF GOLD IN GERMANY. 1*To the Editor of the Economist: ““8m: Having read your valuable article on the money market of last Saturday, I beg to draw your attention, with regard to German finances, to certain facts perhaps unknown or misunderstood in this country. : I, quite agree with you that Germany is in possession, as well of the 20,000,000 disappeared from the Paris Bank since 1870, s of the many millions more drained from here; but, according to Parliament- ary documents, the military chest, as you call it, holds of it only £1,500,000 sterling more than it always had before 1870 or 1868. The £17,000,~ 000 sterling worth of gold coined already into the new German money are certainly in circula- tion, or at least as much open to it a8 any hard cash in the Bank of England; and if we do not yot discover much of it in the hands or pockets of the public in ganer% it is because since the admission of gold in Germany as s legal stand- ard, with a great chance of soon becoming the sole legal standard, the German banks, private and public, try to keep their spare cash quietly in the new gold coin and toefiti id of their sil- ver. The present overwhe ng demand for gold is, therefore, not the consequence of Ger- .man financial mismanagement, but paturally fol- lows: out of the-adoption of a standard altera- tion in a country where cheques and Clearing Houses are almost unknown, deposits there- ificant, where no central bank, 28 the ank of England, balances hun- dreds of millions without” the use of a single soveriegn or bank note. Yet Germany is 28 thriving & country a8 any in Europe. But we haveto deal, under these circumstances, with & sudden change of a money standard suggested and supported by & colossal ransom to bs paid in hard cagh within a given time, which will, and must, drain the gold market till either the re- taining of the double standsard js settled—a ques- tion expected to be decided by the next Reich- stag—or till 2 better outlet for silver than at ‘present facilitates the exchange. ‘“The raising of the discount in this country cannot thwart the purpose of a Government bound to certain ‘changes, and possessed of ngngle means to do it. "Onthe contrary, the higher the premium the more these meana will lead tos command in the market ; and although by thst process we shall undergo certain tempo- | TATy ease, Wo must expect, for a time, sudden fluctustions, and will again be made aware that we 1abor under & Bank act based more npon & fignra than & principle—a figure which, st a time when 10,000,000 of gold were considered a comfortable stock at the becanse it allowed an issue of 150 cent uncovered notes, with 20,000,000 or 25,000,000, and claims grmm in proportion, limits the issue to 75 or 60 per cent. ~Were Ger- ‘many encumbered with the samo aot, the Prug- sisn Bank, With upward 24,000,000 hard cash, and a circulation of .over 40,000,000, would have succumbed #lready, while the prineiple that-one- third or two-fifths of issued notes, coveredin old, is sufficient for general purposes, allows the %maian Bank to dispend iis bargains at 5 per “cont, ‘and'atill tobe considéred powerfnl, With: out having the benefit of the PrussianEx- chequer, overflowing for the . present from "ordinary soarces even.

Grain holders do mot now sort out their Munn & Scott_receipts every day, for the purpose of gétting rid of them be- fore night, a8 some of them used to do; and, indeed, the practice is now inverted, the holders of those receipts keeping _them quietly in their safes, while George Armonr Co. are " sppealing to have them sent in for indorsement. But there is none.the less-reason for a full understanding of the present situation, although some of tha ‘warehousemen claim thet toomuch has been snid about it, and that the matter ought to be allowed to drop quietly, “for the good of the trade.” But ordinarily, when & memberof afirm has been guilty of a defalcation, and_ it is found out, the remaining membors of the firm find it to be to their interest to prove that they are all right. They cannot afford to throw themeelves back upon their personal dignity, and affect to be insulted by the Spanish galutation (come esta), ‘‘how do you stand ?” “The case i8 mfl.lel to that of the grain ware- housemen of this city, snd they onght not to feel it a reflection upon their personal integrity that the holders of their paper want to be sure that the recent revelations opened up al’ that ‘was wrong and rotten in the warehouse system. No one who understands the facts in the case can feel other than sorry that Mr. Armour should ‘have been 8 extensively decoived inpocket by the Munn & Scott matter. And yet, one cannot help regarding it as an instance 6f poetic jastico, when it is remembered that two years ago Mr. Armour (George) was thespecial advocate of the system undor which he hassuffored s0 much. He visited Springfield, andthere personally opposed the passage of = 1aw imposing any restrictions on the manner in which the warehouse business was conducted. He claimed that it would be an insult to. the warehouse- men to require them to make statements of \heir condition, as implying a doubt of their integrity, and urged that the grain trade would suffer if the syatem were mado less elastic. But it is that very elasticity that has wrought all the trouble; and we_ think that eyen Mr. Armour himself will admit that the thing was stretched a little too much. The other members of the pool have doubtless come 1o the Bame conclusion, ere this, and are willing to provide safeguards against a repeti- tion of the outrage, though they have not yet signified their rendiness to prove that thoy will recommence aright under the new regime. The eldl.st is what is wanted, and it must be fur- There wss eome talk to-day about an antici- pated reduction in the rates of freight on grain to this city. Such a movement would be a most important one for the farmers, especially if “not made, or not extensively taken advantage of, for a few days longer, when, if the weather should be fine, we may sspact that our stocks in store will have been run down to a low point. It will probably be impossible to command much higher prices for grain unloss we should commence the winter with nearly empty bins, and it is pleasant to see that the shipping movement in corn has dimin- ished our stock some 500,000 bushels during th past weel, whilo there secmed to be & good ship: ping demand for oats to-day. = THE MARKETS. y The leading produce markets were generally “lower. alow' to-day, with few important changés in prices. The reported shipments of grain were again in exceas of the receipts; causing a firm feeling on the part of holders, though thera was not much demand. Hence quotations averaged somewhat higher than on Friday, except on pro- visions: The shipping movement was'rather slow, as is nsual on Saturday, and was slightly restricted by a ptronger feeling in freights. The condition of the dry goods market was pub- stantielly. the same as on the preceeding days of the week. Both the local And the interior de- mands were of a liberal character, and :prices were. uniformly firm for all seasonsble fabrics. ‘Woollens are tending higher, in consequence of the enhanced cost of the raw material. : In the grocsty market- only slight change was noticea- le.

Btocks are reported light for the season, and dealers are firm in their views, at the advance. The fish market was only moderately active, and prices were without noticeazble change. Dried fruits were moving more freely, and the general market is working firmer. Hay continues dull and weak. Esstern buyers are virtually out of the market, and as the supply exceeded the wants of the local trade, holders were willing to'shade prices. Hides remain quiet and easy, as previonsly -quoted. The g‘pi.ry is restricted to emall lots to supll.wllly imme- inte wants. ' The leather market is still unset- tled. - ‘Oils, paints,- "tobacco, and wood were, . quoted quiet.. and unchanged.

Cranberries also met with & very good demand from the interior. Both are quite firm at present prices. Other fruitwas in emsll supply and moderate request. Highwines were in moderate demand at the reduction qnoted yesterday, 250 brls being sold at 86c. New York is reported steady.

L1400 CATTLE—After a protracted season of ex- treme dunlness, and general unprofitableness, we are enabled at -last to report a pronoxmcad change for the better. During the ‘week under review the market has been characterized by {fair activity from the ugening to the close, and prices have taken a higher range. This gratify- Ing result was brought sbout by a combination of favorable circumstances; chief among which may be mentioned the healthy reaction at the East,—prices thero having advanced 3{@3%c,— the moderate character of the supply, and the marked improvement in the quality of the stock offered for sale. Trade opened a little slack on Monday, buyers _generally refusing to pay the higher prices asked, but be- fore the day was over they took hold freely, and the market has ruled active since, at an advance of 25@50c in natives, and st 50@75¢ in Texas cattle. There has been no noticeable increase in the demand for rough, half-fattened native steers, and the supply of such continuing liberal, prices have nndergone but elight change; while cows, stock steers, and desirablo shipping beeves are fully 35@50c higher than at the close of last week. New York, Albany, and Boston buyers picked np -thebest droves, at $5.25@5.50 for medium to good steers of from 1,100 to 1,350 Ibs average, and ab $5.75@6.50 for choice to extra Bteers averaging from1,200 to1,500 1bs.
