Brrr CArrLE.-Owing to a marked falling OF in
the receipts and fun demand, the market at
wholesale this week was quite active, but not rs
much so in the retail trade, some finding opera
lions to lag, while others found trade fair through
out Prices advanced c fully on all grades, while
\ few dealers thought they were nearly or quite
3-sc higher than last week. The advance IS view
ed q. resulting from the temporary scarcity OF the
offerings and that next week lower figures are
likely TO rule. We quote at 3aS5 30 per 100 lbs.
Mich COws.-The supply is rather light TINS
week. and the demand good for good cews. We
quote at 2oa;lj per head.
Prices this week for Beef Cattle ranged as fol-

SHEEP AND LAIBs.-The market has been over
supplied this week and trade has been dun, buyers
holding off in view Of the heavy run in hope of
larger concessions than are now offered. Prices are
weaker In consequence. Good sheep are quite
scarce andi fair demand, as are also good STOCK
sheep. Lambs are quite dull, the supply being
very heavy. We quote butcher Sheep az 3aa4i

AN ASTONISHING FACr.-A large

to-day dying from the effects Of Dys
pepsia or dsorlered liver. The re
cult Of these diseases upon the masses
of Intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a
burden instead Of a pleasant existence
of enjoyment and usefulness as it
ought to be. There IS no good rea-
son fer this, if you sill only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advice Of Druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle of Green's

certain. Millions of bottles of this

its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy sample

ally the figure upon whom concentrated
the chief interest OF the evening, and not
only by her beautiful eIocution but her
corresponding luxuriousnsss OF attire
held the attention OF the audience when
ever she appeared on the stage. In iaot
there was scarcely q phrase or move
ment which did not indicate the careful
study which the artist has bestowed
upon this superb Shakspearean spectacle
with which her name Is now more or less
identified. Physically Miss Ey tings has
an advantage in the possession Of q
round, voluptuous figure, which makes
her q dangerous rival to aAy one who
seeks to become her compeer, and her
conception of the ideal OF Cleopatra
is one which corresponds with that
which most readers OF Shakespeare nat
urally associate with the creation. 1t
was not that she was ablaZe with dia.
monds, not that every movement pro-
duced u pictorial wrinkle in her reg Il
robes, not that around her Was repre-
sented the scenic drapery of the ancient
days which made her the oynosure OF
interest, but there was something in the
dark, flashing eye OF the queen so sug-
gestive OF the Egyptian lovelight, some-
thing in the unu ulating gtace OF her tg-
ure 81 wlnsoms, as to leave 1t no matter
off wonder that Antony should be her
slave"
