lers had their headquarters at Carlisle, and 
made their dupes the members of the “Cum¬ 
berland Valley Mutual Protective Associa¬ 
tion.”. Pleuro-pbeumonia has been 
discovered at Evansville, Indiana, in a large 
consignment of cattle for Chicago. 
.. . .Two car loads of Texas ponies that had 
been shipped from Texas to eastern Pennsyl¬ 
vania, anil which hud beon wrongly trans¬ 
shipped to Bangor, Me., were unloaded at 
Hartford, Ct., yesterday. It is understood 
that they had been 18 days on the cars with¬ 
out food. Several of the animals were dead 
when the cars were opened, and those that 
were alive were in a terribly emaciated con¬ 
dition. No driver was with them . 
.Ihe Government of Victoria, Australia, 
is spending at the rate of $100,01)0 a year to 
keep in check the increase of rabbits on crown 
lands. Private land owners in the same 
colony are also spending immense sums to ex¬ 
terminate the pests.January last the 
Government of New South Wales had an 
army of 2,145 men in the field fighting rabbits, 
and South Australia had also a large number 
of men engaged in the same contest. 
Frenchmen are lamenting because a dropsical 
disease is rapidly exterminating the rabbits in 
France..W. D, Lewis, late President of 
the Colorado Cattle Association, has been ar¬ 
rested at Dallas, Texas, for obtaining money 
under false pretences. Last October ho got 
from the Exchange Bank $10,000 ou n deed of 
trust ou 3,000 bead of cattle of a certain braud, 
located in Tom Green County. Diligent search 
has discovered only 318 head of the given 
braud, worth only $3,500, leaving a balance 
of $0,500. It has been charged, over and over 
again, that a very large amount of swindling 
has been done ou the ranges by pledging, and, 
still oftener, selling cattle in this way—dispos¬ 
ing of 1,000 under a certain brand, whereas 
only from 100 to 500 could ever be found. For¬ 
eigners appear to have been the chief victims. * 
...At the sale of duplicate orchids of 
Mr. W. Lee, of Dornside, Leatherhead, Eng¬ 
land, recently, one plant was sold for 310 
guineas, nearly $1,000. 
Crops & Markets. 
Saturday, June, 4, 1887. 
Thursday’s Cincinnati Price Current, the 
best authority ou Western hog markets, says 
the arrivals of hogs at Chicago for the week 
have been largely short of corresponding time 
last year, the net supply for packing falling 
about 50,000 below the corresponding week. 
Milwaukee has also fallen behind, while others 
of the prominent points have held closely or 
fully up to a year ago. At Omaha, where 
there was practically nothing doing last year, 
operations have been quite large, which is to 
lie said also of Sioux City, Keokuk, Des 
Moines, etc. Full returns from Omaha this 
week indicate that last week’s approximation 
on partial returns was somewhat under the 
mark. The aggregate packing for the week 
has been about 10,000 short of corresponding 
week last year; the total from March 1st is 
about 1,955,000 hogs, against l,700,0(10 a year 
ago—indicating au increase of 105,000. The 
hogs handled at Iowa and Nebraska points are 
of good quality generally; at Kansas City 
they are-slightly lighter tliau a year ago; at 
Cincinnati the average for May was 13 pounds 
lighter than last year; at Chicago it was about 
the same for the month as last year; the gen¬ 
eral average of the May packing in the West 
has evidently fallen several pound, short of 
last year, while the quality has been better. 
Prices of bogs arc but slightly reduced com¬ 
pared with a week ago at most points; at Cin- 
cinuati the reduction is 20 to 25 cents. 
Wool prices at the West average from 2c. 
to 3c. per pound higher than a year ago, anil 
the feeling is very confident. At the seaboard, 
too, the tendency is decidedly upward. It is 
alleged, however, that buyers at the West are 
paying too much for the staple ou the basis of 
soiling prices in the East; but there is no 
doubt, whatever that- prices would not now be 
nearly so high were it not that they have been 
forced upward by the firm stand taken by 
the wool growers. 1$ is well, therefore, that 
these should not recede an inch; but press on¬ 
ward whenever possible. Here aud there in 
the South, Bradstreet reports markets 3c. to 
5c. higher than a year ago. California wool 
is coming East, largely to manufacturers, by 
way of the Isthmus. Montana growers ex- 
pect to gain by the advanced freights on Cali¬ 
fornia wool. Heavy supplies will lie offered 
at the Colonial sales at Loudon, opening next 
Tuesday, if the market there is strong, hold¬ 
ers here will gain additional confidence; if 
weak, manufacturers on this side will be re¬ 
luctant to buy heavily at current prices. 
Latest reports leave much doubt as to the out¬ 
come. If holders are firm, even if prices don’t 
advance, they are hardly likely to recede.
