DETROIT MARKET.

DETROIT, Jan. 81, 1874
Produce has ruled rather quiet this week.
Wheat has been coming in freely and although
money has been easy to get some of our spec
ulators have found their loads rather 5urthen-
some. Considerable effort has been mae TO
unload sellers themselves paying extreme prl-
ces in order to keep values up. but no free
BUYERS at going rates have been found. The
stock in store Is nearly $50, 900 bushels and the
news from New York the past days has been
discouraging, The receipts at the seaboard are
enormous, while the large movement from the
West serves to maintain a relatively buoyant
feeling there. Our prices are about lie lower
than week ago. but 2d2lIc better than they
have been meantime. White extra closed at
81 60, and No. white at 81 5914. Encoura-
ging reports concerning the crop in the ground
are received here. Corn Is dull No. mixed,

buoyant all around. Cattle scarce; good to
choice shipping grade quick at "a 5O@5, and
fair to medium butchers steady at 1904 20,
sheep enough to last for month were in this
week, and prices which opened at fully SOC ad-
vance, fell back to the former level, closing at

rhe flasher Of For.y-oue Children

John Hepner, of Reading, Penn. i,
claims to be the father of forty-one chill
dren by three wives. The Eagle says
''He was born in 1915, and twenty-five
years afterward-1S40-he married his
first wife in Germany. They lived hap
PLY together for eight years, when she
died. During that time they were blessed
with seventeen well-formed children;
hence, at the age Of thirty-three Mr..
Hepner found himself the father of quite
an extensive family. The little ones came
on earth as follows: Two pairs of twins,
four sets of triplets and one at single
birth; seventeen in all. The children of
this marriage are now all dead. Mr.. Hep
ner remained widower but short time,
for in less than year after he married
another fair daughter of Germany. He
was made the happy father of another
child in the month of February, 1910.
On Christmas following, in the same year,
another was born unto him. Then they
were blessed with twins five times in sue
cession, and subsequently three more
children at single birth were bern unto
them, making fifteen in all. His second
wife and himself lived together nine years
and then she died. By the two marriages
Mr.. Hepner at the ago of forty-two, had
become the father of thirty-two children,
of whom only two are now living. Twen-
ty years ago Mr.. Hepner and his second
wife came to this country. He was then
thirty-nine years of age. Three years
afterward his wife died. Mr.. Hepner,
not desiring to live in strange land en-
tirely alone, selected third wife in 1858
They are still living happily together, and
during the sixteen years of their married
life nine children have been born unto
them, each by single birth, making forty
