Down in Michigan they have some
very good institutions already estab-
lished. A new idea has broken out
there that is well worth copying. 1t is
called the Richard Smith society, and
proves to be good institution endowed
with truly good name. The object of
the society is to do away with treating,
and all members are bound not to treat
another to drink, eat or smoke. This
IS retrenchment which is true enconomy.
Stop all treats and more money will be
saved to poor men than by abating all

ST.. PAUL, Feb. 2l.-DRRssED MEATs.-The
receipts Of hogs are somewhat light, but there
is fine display of first class stock at the Sioux
City depot, which sell to shippers at $8.45 per
100 lbs. Packersdo not appear to be anxious to
buy at the prevailing prices, although they are
realizing outside prices tor pork, hams, &c.
To-day the market is not quite so well sup
piled as yesterday, and prices were shade
off from yesterdays quotations. A few lots
sold at $40, and few others on private
terms. Dressed beef is firm at 5x@6xc
for choice sides and 4@4xc for old lots
and poor. A very fair but not brisk business
is doing. Poultry is about as before reported.
Chickens, choice and fresh killed, are in quick
demand at 1OX@l1c, if fat and desirable but
the demand is not pressing.
GRA1N-There are no new prices to report
and transactions are somewhat quiet. 50 far a.
corn and oats are concerned. Car load lots Of
No. oats are selling to out of town buyers at
a4@a4Xc Corn is firmly held at s8@3ec, for
car lots delivered free on board.
Eaes are very much Of drug, even at 14a
15c, the prices at which tubs and cases were
selling yesterday. The receipts are lareer than
the sales, but as Lent is near at hand it il prob
able that this condition of things will soon be
chsnged, and that, after few days more, the
consumption demand will exceed the daily ar.
rivals.
PRov1sloNs-All descriptions of hoe prod
ucts, cured or smoked. are very firmly held at
outside prices. Mess pork, in small fots. sells
at 90 PR barrel; in large lots, from frst
hands, at $2l 80 cash. Packers, however. have
