FINANCE AND TRADE. The Cheap Stocks Come to the Front in Speculation. he Prodoee Markets Tame, but with a Little Hore Doing—They Are Easier, A Marked Break in ‘Wheat; and Futures Discounted Heavily. FINANCIAL. here were few exceptions, and none of them nt, to the buoyancy of the stock market, wehich was strong allday, with especial activity _fnthe cheap Obio stocks. ‘Cuesapeake & Ohio, Ohio & Mississippi, and Mobile & Ohio were the leaders.

Chesapeake & Ohio and “Mobile & Ohio started up together, as if -under a commen impulse, and made handsome gains. Chesapeake common opened at 24, fluctuated between 23; and 25%, and closed at 254,0n advance of 2k. The second preferred went up from 26% to 27, and the first preferred from BY to 343, a gain of 2%. Mobile & Ohio has been a favorit subject for points, but has steadily declined till now. It sold up from 5y tom, and closed at 2843, a gain of 3%. These movements in Southern stocks indicate that the Joulsville & Nashville consolidation has not ex- ~ nausted the possibilities of combination in tho - gouthern railway world. ‘There will be interest- ing developments in this direction. Manhattan made an upward move of 24, but the usual Jegislative rumor to account for the rise was not forthcoming. Lake Erie & Western was active, but within narrow limits, $y and 34, and closed with a gain of %, at 36%. The Dircctors of the Alton donot know that the road is to be leased to them. Another sharp advance of 2%, to 61, was made by Pacific Mail, which is already declaring dividends to speculators out of the profits of « the business of the Isthmus Canal. Sun Fran- cisco was dealt in more freely than for some time past, and the second preferred was up 14, “40 62. Coal stocks were dull. A heavy short in- terest is said to be still uncovered in them. Hudson was sold down to 81%, but recov- red to 83. Large purchnses of this for investment are reported. Lackawanna fluctu- ‘ated between SG and 924, closing where ft did the day before, at €j. Morris & Essex lost %, to 108}. Reading gained X, _ qo. The recent rise In Reading was due alto- gether to New York purchases, which got no seeonding in the Philadelphia market. Jersey Central gained %, to 81%. The favorable eifect on Iron Mountain of the return of the road to the stockholders seems to have boen discounted. It opened at 63%, tluctuated between 3X and 63, and closed at the latter figure. Western Union sold between 1125 and 112, and closed at 112%, a Joss of %. The quarrel between the Western Union andthe American Union is becoming a more serious matter than was at first believed possible. Vanderbilt went to Baltimore to bring > Gurrett to bis side, but failed to do so. Hard personal feeling between Vanderbilt and Gould isarising out of the matter. If they fight, the stock market will be their battle-field, and the heaviest losses will as usual be borne by the privates, and not by the Generals. Keene is on Vanderbilt's side; they are bulls. Gould and Sage are bears. The near future of the stock market is likely to be very interesting. It was Gould who planned and executed Black Friday. He and his partner, Russell Sage, are saidto have borrowed $20,000,000 on time, and to have loaned itout again on cali, with the expectation of suddenly calling it in again and creating panic.

Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yor«, March 6.—The market throughout the whole day has manifested a curious irregu- larity. At the opening there was much apparent weakness and uneasiness, At noon the market had become very strong, with some remarkable ndvances, Ohio & Mississippi going up from 42 to 44%, and Pacific Mail from 68% to 61%, after- wards advancing another point later in the day. ‘The coal stocks throughout the day did not ad- vance, but thoy showed great steadiness, a fact due to the highly encouraging reports of the present and prospective condition of the cont. trade. It isinsisted that these companies now have before them the beginning of an era of prosperity which only the most gross and crim- ial mismanagement on the part of their Di- rectors caninterrupt. The reports that have been circulated within the last few days that the Louisville & Nashville people have been heavy purchasers of Ohio & Mississippi have not been contradicted; in fact, they were quite true. Under the intiuence of these purchases, and the confidence inspired by them, the stock to-day rose about 10 per cent, and reached the highest point it has toucted. It is clear that the great lines from the Gulf to the Northwest and Southwest ure fast becoming Valuable properties. The extraordinary strength shown by Chicago, St. Louis & New Or- Jeans uttracts the attention of speculative cap- italists to the property, which fs believed tohuve a brilliant future before it. The enhanced present and prospective value of this property has added to the value of the assets of the Ili- nois Central Company. The Company ownssome $12,000,000 in the Chicago, St. Louis & New Or- leans Railroad. On the strength of its increased eurnings and the enbunced vulue of its reserves, the Iilinois Central is reported as about to in- crease its dividends from 6 to § per cent, ‘To the Western Associated Press, New York, March 6.—Governments quict but generally firm.

Pork and wheat fell off rather badly soon after the opening, and then recovered somewhat, but were’still irregu- lar. Wheat broke about 2}4c for this month and 34c for May, presenting the singular circum- stance of May being at a discount in the month of March, with a large storage charge to be paid by the party who carries the wheat through the middle of April. This was duce to relatively large offerings for the summer months, the sell- ers leaving present wheat holders to care for the stuff into the season of navigation. Other grain was tame in sympathy, and generally easier. Mess pork closed 10c lower, at $11.55@11.00 for seller March and $1165 for April. Lard closed 2k lower, at $7.30 for seller March and $7.15@ 7.1714 for April. Short ribs closed at $6.374@ 6.40 for April, Sping wheat closed 1c lower, at $1.235% for March or April and $1.23% for May. Corn closed easier, at 86%¢ for March and 40%c bid for May. Oats closed steady, at 35%c for May and at 31Xc spot. Rye was unchanged, closing at 730 March and 74! April. Bariey was weaker, closing nominally at 53c sellers fur April extra 3 and at Se for No.2 seller March. Hogs were fairly active and Sc lower, at $1.10@ 4.30 for light and at, $4.10@4.60 for heavy.

Orders are now pouring ¢a from all quarters, and the attendance of buyers is liberal and daily increas- ing. Prices show positive strength’ both for cottons and woolens. The demand for grocerics is fair and increasing. Prices ruled steady, ex- cept for coffees, which Were easy. No changes were noted in the market for dried fruits.

Coal remains dull and unchanged. : The demand for lumber continues to improve, and all grades are quoted firm, some kinds be- ing on the upturn owing to their scarcity. The wool market was firm under a good demand from Westetn manufacturers. Broom-corn was steady, and hay met witha fair local inquiry at previous prices, Hides were stronger, in sym- pathy with the Eastern markets, and dealers re- port a good local demand, especially for light stock. Dry hides share in the improvement. ‘Timothy seed was firmer, and other kindssteady, with not much trading, except in the first named yariety. Poultry was in good local demand and firmer, and eggs were selling readily at recent prices. set 13,51 PROVISIONS.

Another foreible argument in favor of killing, muzzling, or in some other way effectually tak- ing cure of the dogs, was given yesterday when Charles Alsberge, a French tailor at No. 191 Lar- rabee street, died in all the indescribable horrors of hydrophobia, A daughter of the victim re- ported to the Chicago Avenue Police Station the fact that her father was writhing from an attack of the dread disease, and asked that some one be sent to the house. On arriving the officers found the poor fellow suffering the horrible torments which accompany a fatal case of this character. His brother, Richard Alsberge, and his son, Emil, who had been his constaut attendants, at last bound him down lesthe might injure them or his wife and children. Convulsive upbenvuls of the chest, xecompunied by free discharges of saliva from the snapping, twitching mouth, d noted that the end was uear. The forehead was wrinkled, the eyebrows tell almost to the bridge of tho nose, drew back again with horrible rapidity, and exposed to the terrified bystanders tho glussy eyesand fearfully distorted face of the now dead victiin. ‘The history of the case, as learned from Rich- ard Alsberge, is about as follows: About six weeks ngo a strange, dog came into the taifor's store and Mr. <Alsberge took him by the brass collar to put him out. While thus engaged, the dog turned around, snapped at him, and bithim. Thetailor thougnt nothing of it, and felt no bad effects from tho bite until Iust Wednesday ovening, when he -be- gan snapping and spitting and exhibiting other Signs of an attack from hydrophobia. Dr. Han- sen andthen Dr. Henrotin were called in, but the patient grew worse. Occasionally he had his quiet moments, when he would laugh at his snupping and his twitching. At other times he would cry out, “That dog bit me. £ am bit by the dog. I am going.” The horrors he expe- rienced Thursday and Friday were succeeded by the more intense agonies of yesterday morning. culminuting in his death shortly before noon, ‘The dog which bit him has neither been heard of nor seen since the tailor put bim out of his shop, and the natural presumpdon is that he is st loose on the community. Early Thursday morning, Dr. Henrotin was sent for. As soon as he saw the man heconclud- ed that the case was hydrophobia, and at once treated him hypodermically with curare, a poison used by the South American Indians to tip their arrows, anda remedy mentioned by Flint, who reports two recoveries from its use; and this treatment was continued, as it is the only successful one known. Whenever water was even incntioned to Alsberge he had a par- oxram, and, although Drs. Bartlett, Hansen, and Powell were also in attendance, and every- thing possible done for him, he became worse steadily, until death relieved him. << Bain-Making by Explosions. St. Louis, Republiesn, ‘The ingenious plan for rain-making propoted by Gen. Ruggles, of Virginia, is in uccordance with a theory of rain-formation long held by eminent savans. The plain is to send up into the moist struta of the atmosphere dynamite curt- ridges, lodged in balloons, to be exploded by time fuses, or electric wires, connected with the earth. The explosion, it is claimed, will huve the effect of bringing together inusses of air of different temperatures and bumidities, causing condensation of the vupor aloft suilicient to pro- duce rain. If wo suppuse, on a dry day in sum- mer, the passage overneud of u large current of moist air, such us constitutes the well-known upper “anti-trade" current, and thut an explosion of — dynamite tukes place within its Vaporous strata, the sudden displacement and rarefaction would probably invite a downward movementifrom the cold and loftier strata of the atmosphgre to fill the vacuous space formed by the explosion. ‘That this is, thooretically, good reasoning is un- questionable; but the practical difligultics of adjusting the explosive balloons to tHe prover strata of air and of timing the explosiohs would necessitate much experimentation ahd they would require the most skillful handl{ng. Ne- pheology, or the art of cloud-observing (with a view todetect tho altitudes and hygrometric con- ditions of different forms of vapoyous air- masses), is, a8 its yreatest living master, Mr. Clement Ley, of England, says, “an incom- municuble art.” But the ‘ex timenor with Gen. Ruggles’ balloons would uced_to detect with practiced eye whether a given cloud-band in which he was about to explode dynamite was laden with vapor and superimpose by the cold ., condensing aif upon which he must rely to pro- duce precipitation. { Butimpracticable as this plan ‘appqars, it is possible ‘that experiments would cldar ‘away Thuny of the dilliculties. It is no ueommon thing in a long drought to be tantalized| with the sight of a stratus cloud whose vapor-plane, rich in longed-for moisture, overspreads the earth and sails onward without depositing a drop of rain, unless its under surface impinges against the cool tree-tops of some bill ormountkin,when condensation vesins and the shower fajls.’ If it be true that forests, by slightly lowdriug tho temperature of pussing clouds, ¢ifect cbndensi- tion sufficient to make them disti} their moisture on adjacent districts, it is far moro plausible that an explosion in the vapor-laden mass, by invoking the descent of the cold upp¢r atmos- phere, would oceasion very considerable amount of rainfall. The upper current in which the cirrus clouds tioat (from 10,000 to 20,000 feet high, according to the estimates of the best meteorol- oyiste, hus the polur temperature of 40 degrees below zero, and converts the vapor purticles in its midst into ice-crystals. There are probably but few days, even in the severest drought, on whieh, could Gen. Ruggles bring down u thou- sand cubic feet of this intensely cold air into the gur-strata of the air, he would not induce copi- ous showers, ‘The late Prof. Espy strongly contended for many years ‘that the metgorological effect of great fires was to produce main if the utmos- Bhere was calm and the dew-point high. The theory was put to asevere test during the long, blighting drought in the autumn of i871, when the Chicago contlagration occurred; the intense drought was broken by a heavy rain which suc- eveded the fire. Many instances of similar ap- purent effect of combustion have been cited. But for economic reasons the Espy theory fias been generally dismissed as impracticable. The new pian of ruin-making by explosions is, bow- ever, free trom the objection of excessive cost for the agency employed. The investment in a small quantity of explosive material and cheap skeleton balloons would be welt nade if, by such means, the severe droughts of midsummer and full could be measurably mitigated. But if the experiments ure underiaken which Gen. Rug- gles suggests, they should be conducted under the direction of skilled meteorologists and Sig- nal-Service officers and observers, STOCK-YARD CRUELTIES. How the State's Salaried Agent Does His Work There. The Governor Has Been Duly Notified, but Takes No Action. A Trrevxe reporter yesterday called upon Mr. Jobn G. Shortall, the President of the IIi- nois Humane Society, and had some conversa- tion with him upon the subject of the crueltics practiced at the Stock-Yards as exposed in the report in THE TRIBUNE of yesterday. What he wanted to get at more particularly was the rea- son why the Socicty did not seem to be as suc~ cessful in the suppression of cru¢lty as former- ly. Mr. Shortall stated that he thought be could satisfy his visitor upon that score, but that be- fore he did so he would like to call his attention to : ONE OR TWO ADDITIONAL FACTS connected with the cruelties which had come to his knowledge. In the first pluce, he asserted that he had received perfectly trustworthy in- formation to the effect that the very grosser eruelties which the Society hud to contend with when it first started on its humane mission were being practiced in isolated cases. He had heard of the eyes of obstinate cattle being gouged out quite recently, and also of animals being prodded inthe tenderest parts by their brutal drivers. There was also another practice in which the Western shippers and the Chicago commis- sion men combine which is horribly cruel. It is the custom of the shippers to give in- structions that the cattle be allowed no water on their journey, and that what little feed is given thom be generally salted so that the thirst of the animals may be still further increased. The object of this is that the beasts on their ar- rival atthe yards may go) themselves with the water which is then provided ad libitum, and thus increase greatly their selling weight. It hud been frequently claimed by commission men that by this means animals not only made up for the loss of weight arising from the long ride, but in many cases weighed more than when they started. This is hurd on the pur- chasers, who are thus tricked into paying from $3 to $5 fora distended gjomuch full of water, butit is still barder onthe beasts, which, in many cases, lie down never to rise after their watery gorge, und have even occasionally been known to burst from the excess of their unnat- ural potations. With regurd to the position of the Illinois Hu- mane Society in connection with the ucknowl- edged increase of cruelty at the Stock-Yards, he stated thatit was being much blamed therefor, pag tia, ‘he wus glud of an opportunity to show w THE SOCIETY HAD NOT ANY RESPONSIBILITY in the matter. When, in September last, the State Agent, Mr. McDonald, who had always acted in uccord with the Humane Socioty, which had been instrumental in his uppointment tothe position. resigned his place, Mr. Shortull sent a notification of the fact to the Governor, request- ing that no one would be appointed except a person recommended by the Illinois Humaue Society. In response to this, Mr. Shortall re- ecived a letter from Gov. Cullom, who stated that he had not been advised of Mr. McDonald's resignatien, but that he would appoint a com- petent man to fill his place, and would receive suggestions from the Society. A day or two afterwards Mr. Shortall made a formal applica tion on behulf of the Society for the appoint ment to the vacant position of the Society's Gy Agent. No answer was received to this, and a few days later Mr. Marquart, the present State Agent, culled ut the ollice of the Humane Society and explained that he had been ap- jointed. ‘I'his was in the early part of October. the Society felt that its application hud not been fairly or even courteously treated, but rested in the hope that, though they had not succeeded in securing the appointment of a mun who, they knew, could do the work satisfucto- rily, the new-comer might prove to be the right man in the right place. After a couple of months had passed, during which complaints were made to the Society thut State-Agent Mar- quart wus not doing bis duty, Mr, Sbortall in- structed City-Agent Dudley to visit the yards an FIND OUT THE EXACT PACTS IN THB CASE. The following ig a part of the report which Mr. Dudley made of what he saw during eight con- gecutive days spent ut the Stock-Yurds: “A cow consigned to George Adams, with ber ribs smashed in, lay on the platform ina helpless: condition. ‘This cow had been taken from u morning train; she died about 2 o'clock. A2- year-old belonging to saine party was also ly There covered with ice and apparently dying. met Mr, Marquart near the platform, and in- quired of him about it, and he went to the rail- rond office with me to find who it belonged to; atthe office we met one of Adams’ men, who suid it belonged to them, and asked Sfarquart to kill it; he (Marquart) took an iron bar and went out and beut it over the head several times (at least twelve times), then went up the platform to loox at another cow; ina few minutes he re- turned andsaw the beifer was still kicking, afd then he beat it with the fron bar until it was dead, giving it several more blows, until the skull wus broken in. Another disabled cow on the same platform belonging to Bensley. Wagner & Bensley, which came on a morning trainin an apparently dying condition was still |. lying there, having u little straw thrown over i ‘Mr. Marquart refused to interfere with this one, as, he said, they could sell it to some butcher alive and get more for it than they could get if it was dead, and he didn’t wish to get the com- mission men down on him; I told him she would certainly die there before morning, and I went there the tirst thing this morning and found her dead, with the appearance of having died from her injuries and exposure. I also noticed two bulls in Pen 4, Diyision “A,” of Block “11,” without a sign of anything to eat. J tirst noticed them about 12 o’clock Sunday; they were not fedin the afternoon, and this morning they were still without food, and up to 1 o'clock to- day (Monday); I went to one of the yardmen, who told me that William O'Maley bought them Saturday, and that they hud been in that pen since then; I then went to the fecd office, and was informed there thnt no feed had been sent to that pen since Friday, so thut these cattle had had nothing ‘to eat since O'Muley bought them. I ‘was about tho yards from 9 o'clock to about 1 to- day, but saw nothing of Marquart. “Dec. 2.—Visited the Stock-Yards again tc- day; founda steer in Pen 27, Block 13, Division A, it had been without food since 1 week ago rerday; it belongs to George Aaams & Co.. and was left there by Burke of above tirm; I culled Mr. Adams’ attention to it, and they ad- mitted their linbility, and said it was Burke's fault. I find most of the pens with one and two head of cattle in them are more or less nég- lected. Purtics at one of the scales tell me that “A few days ugo a steer was left ina pen there until it died; tho steer had the mud itch, and should have been killed at once, but the Huma man was not around, or failed to act,” I suw Marquart curly in the morning on the St. Louis platform; after that, up to tho time I left in the ifternoon, hewas around in front of the Ex- change; atleiist I saw him there every time I passed. “Dec. 4.—Spent the forenoon at the yards, up tolo'clock; saw Merquart riding around tho yards, and suw a dray drive past him loaded with ogs piled on top of exch other,—be took no notice of 1t; saw severul pens of cattle without food. “Dec. &.—Al day at the yards; saw aman putting a crippled hog into a pen, with the blood Prreauting from its ear; found on examination that one of its cars bad been slit open with a knife; called the man to me andasked what that meant, and he told me it was bis private mark; said bis nume was Pat Farrell. I asked bim ff it was customary to mark hogs that way, and he said they were doing it now, but they didn't be- fore McDonald left; I also’ saw dray-loads of hozs go out h their ears slit in the same way. 1 find on inquiry at the feed ofices that Marquart has ordered feed in only a very few instances,—at one teed office he only ordered one lot fed,and they hud been three or four drys without’ food; the feed man told me that Marquart said he supposed they had forgotten it and he wou't order them fed and tell them about it; these parties should have been prosecuted. ‘Iwas informed by a party who doesn't wish bis name used, that Marquart has spent considerable time in buying cattle and shipping them, and was gone two days with them himself. 1 did not see him during the fore- noon, but this ufternvon saw him riding around with 8 commission man, who 1 was told was Horine; thoy seemed to be examining a peti of cattle; saw them ride into the same pen twice and look the enttle over. I um informed that Marquart’s attention bas been called to the cutting of hogs’ ears, buthe pays nv attention to it.” In letters written respectively on the 24th and Sist of January last, Mr. Sbortall CALLED THE GOVERNOR'S ATTENTION TO THE ABUSES which were being practiced at the yards. In the answers received to the letters the Governor ex- reset himself as pertectis sutistled with Mr. Marquart, who, he believed from information received. was 1 more efficient man than bud pre-. viously been enguged in the work. He sald that he could take no uction in the matter until spe- cille charges uguinst Marquart and « request for his removal had been forwarded him. ‘The So- ciety thereupon met and passed a resolution re- questing Murquart'’s removul, which they for- Warded to the Governor, together with the sworn statement made by City-Agent Dudley. ‘Mr. Shortall stated, in conclusion, that the Society, even should the Governor, in spite of their protests and of ‘Tie TiBuNe’s exposure of the cruelties, persist in retaining Mr. Mur- quart us State Agent, will not abandon the good Work of hutnanity, but will raise from the mer- chants of Chicago 2 subscription to provide for the salary of a man to do the work at the yards which the present Stute Agent is paid by the taxpuyers to do, but fails to perform.

To the Edttor of The Chicago Tribune, Crrcaao, March 6.—The article in this day's ‘TerBuNE concerning the terrible crueltics prac- ticed in the slaughtering of hogs and cattle at the Stock-Yards cannot fail to attract deep and wide attention. Jangjone of the many who contribute each year more or less money to the Illinois Humane Society. Ihave done so most gladly, feeling that the cause isa most worthy and noble one, and that the officers of that Society were doing, at least in this city and vicinity, a vast amount of good. While 1 do not desire to cast blame, if unneces- sary, upon the officers of that Society, it does seem that more active and energetic measures ought to be pursued in diminishing the cruelty detailed by your reporter at the Stock-Yards, and the numicrous cases of cruelty witnessed every day In this city. If I understand our laws on this subject cor- rectly, all animals, in the State of Illinois at least, whether horses, cattle, hogs, and even dogs and cats, have certain rights which their owners, and ail others, are bound to respect. Ownership does not carry with it the right to torture or commit unnecessary cruelty. [have frequently remonstrated with men who were cruelly beating their horses, or driving them when ‘crippled and wholly unfit for duty. In nine cases out of ten their answer or excuse will be that the animal is their property, and that they have # right to do. what they like to it. Such was the answer made a few months since ‘by an ignorant Bohemian on the West Side, who deliberately punched out the eyes of his poor old horse to keep him (so he expiained) trom bess te ray. from a vacant lot where he had turned him out to pasture. The Justice before whom the man wus brought took a different view of the matter, and caused the wretch to be sent to jyil for the offense. ‘A few more vigorous prosecutions of such outrages would cause our State enactments on this subject to be better observed. ‘The writ in a wide and extended experience and observation in this and foreign countries, bas inyarinbly discovered that those nations or those individuals who systematically and con- stantly treat animals with cruelty are of a lower type and grade in intelligence and moruli- ty than those who ure more merciful. It does seem like a severe commentary upon our boasted intulllgence thet right here, in the most advanced ant Progressive: city of this or any other land, that sickening crueltics, only fit for Central Africa, should be allowed to be com- mitted In the slaughtering of cattle and swine. Public opinion and the law are certainly against it. Is the Humane Society powerless to prevent it? Will they please rise and explain? iH. {The writer will see from what {s printedabove that no blame attaches to the Humane Society.
