TRADE TOPICS.
A Review of the Markets for a Week.

In reporting the market this we
have but little to note, as that time in
the week when the market is generally
in full blast was very disagreeable, and
the roads being in anything but good
order many who contemplated sure
sale on Tuesday and Wednesday did
not come in, hence the quietness at the
stock market Prices of the last two
days of the week previous were main
tanned this week with the exception OF
a few choice lots which brought trifle
more, and these are the kind to raise az
it take no more time and money than
to raise pen of "runts."
N. X. VanMatre on Tuesday shipped
three car loads of sheep from this
market to Chicago.
On Tuesday Joseph VanMatre of
Fayette shipped a number of head of
fine cattle to the Chicago market.
Simon Waters on Tuesdy last shipped
to Chicago from this market, thirty
six head of as fine two and three year
old steers as were ever marketed in
Iowa county. They averaged over
400 pounds each.
On Tuesday last G. G. Cox shipped
from this city two car loads of hogs
of his own raising. They averaged
about four hundred pounds each, and
were the finest lot of hogs brought
here during the season.
That successful farmer and stock
raiser Felix Burgess shipped from this
city to Chicago on Tuesday last, twenty
four head of very fine three year-old
steers of his own raising and feeding.
They were in prime condition, and
averaged about 1900 pounds each. Mr..
Burgess is one of the most success
full farmers of Lafayette county.
There seems to be an overstock of
poultry on the market, although there
is great deal of it that is not worth
handling, but the buyers have to ac-
cept all that is offered in order to keep
peace in the family. The holidays are
near at hand and large supply will be
needed, but unless better stock is
delivered we are inclined to think
that many will avail themselves of the
opportunity offered by purchasing one
of the old time "roasts.'
Bring in your butter for the holiday
trade and receive 26 cents cash, for
every pound of No l, the highest price
paid for a number of years.
There is, of course, at this season of
the year good demand for eggs, and
the prices are "away up" being 24c.
Those who wish to reap a benefit had
best rush them in as prices will be on
the decline next week, and continue so
for some time.

HIS WIFE.
Her Husband Purposely Excites
Her Kleptomania.

The story is told that two or three years
ago, there resided in Virginia a lady who
could not resist stealing whenever she went
shopping; that she was a kleptomaniac.
Her husband was wealthy, and tried by
every means in his power to break her Of
the inhrmity. He informed the store
keepers where she traded of the weakness,
and asked them to say nothing about the
matter, but TO watch her and TO send the
bill to him OF whatever she distracted and
he would pay it. They agreed to this and
every month there would be two bills pre-
.sented-one for articles bought and the
other for articles taken by his wife. The
latter bill was always the largest and
caused the husband to occasionally vince
about paying it. Yet he could not dispute
1t; the articles were all enumerated and he
knew they were at home. He, however,
concluded to investigate the cause. In
doing so. he discovered that the store
keeper, when there was a handsome piece
of goods. a costly cloak, dress or garment
of any kind likely TO be left On his hands,
would place it where it would tempt the
predisposed litter to take it. BY that
means he disposed Of many articles that
would have Other wise remained on his
shelves. He lost a good customer though,
for the husband afterwards accompanied
his wife, when she wanted to purchase any
thing, and he always avoided that store.

Practically Exhaustless.

The Chicago Mining Review says: "One
important character Of mining, as a relia-
BILE branch Of business, worthy Of deep and
far-reaching plans, is its exhaustlessness.
A field that affords scope but for a days
work must be hastily CLEANED, and with
the appliances nearest at hand. But a
mine furnishes material for the persistent
and well-devised plans of years, genera
tons even may come and go, while the
vein Of mineral still continues to yield Its
substantial treasures. A business,
founded upon such a foundation as min
ing presents, must. in time, when Its ad-
vantages come to be known, attract the
atten ton Of a solid, practical class OF In
yestors, who will reveal the solidity which
mining already possesses, when It's real
character is made manifest. As this char
acteristic becomes better known, the false,
transient and speculative spirit, now SO
widely prevalent, will be eliminated, and
mining will become the synonym OF sub
s~tantial permanence and solid reliability. y
In enning the above, the Enterprise
thinks, the writer evidently had the Com
stock in his eve.

A Refractory Thief

Woodward. the dummy stripper, who
skipped out from the chain-gang Monday,
and was re%captured. was so mulish about
putting In his time on the streets for the
public good that he had to have q pair of
shackles put on his ankles. He stoutly
refused to work. but he was brought out
with the rest Of the gang. All the fore
noon. while the others were shoveling and
grading between Jack Perry's and the
Jackson House, he stood stubborn and
vipdictive OF one spot on an ice bank in
the shade. He got very tired and leg
weary, and several times squatted down
for a rest. As often AZ he did so he was
raised back to the perpendicular by Road
Supervisor Wadish, who told him il he
would not work. the least he could do
would be to stand up and see the others
busy. II was next thing to q circus, as
good as a dozen dog fights, or three or
four slashing runaways. Every body that
wanted a sight at the show got II free.
The sidewalk on both sides Of the street
was very popular AZ long as the refractory
pilferer was on exhibition. In the after
noon he weakened, and to-day, no doubt,
he will be as handy with the pick aad
shovel as Billy Spinks, or any other jail
bird.
