THosH who have soul about buttons
need TO be informed that the present
fancy models dress buttons after small
berries and round seed vessels OF plants.
Blackberry buttons Of clustered jet
beads are hardly new, but the fancy has
been carried further, and drops Of dull
ebony initiate wild blackthorn berries,
with the scar Of the calyx at the end, or
in metal have the blue bloom OF cedar
berries fixed upon them. A set Of
polished wood shades from black to red !;
others are brightly red as the clusters OF
the black elder. Those in silver and
gold are the shape of tiny crab-apples,
in dull finish, with a few brightly-cut
lines; the finest pearl sets have natural
tinted grounds, with figures in relief
boldly cut and colored in cameo hues,

st, Paul Live Stock.

There has been a considerable falling off in the
demand for butcherss stock during the past
week, and the receipts of cattle have increased
to more than double what they were the week
been slower and prices a fraction
lower. The following sales will sufficiently rep
| resent the market: car mixed cattle, average
weight ], 270 lbs. at $780, car steers and heif-
| ers (1100 lbs.) at IS; car cows (1050 lbs.} at
$3.50; car Minnesota steers (1250 lbs. at S5.50
l car corn fed Iowa steers $500 lbs.) at $500;
l car Iowa steers 100 lbs.) S575: car rough
cattle (S70 lbs at So Is; car sheep 600 lbs.) at
S4.75; car hogs 1sO lbs.) at $500; car hogs
| (221 lbs.) at $500. The cause of the falling
off in the demand for cattle in that large quantities
| of dressed beef are shipped in from Kansas City
and offered here at very low prices. This beef
is handled by some of the butchers because of its
cheapness, but there are many butchers who
look upon it with suspicion with the reports of
foot and mouth disease before their
eyes and the revolving reports Of the Kansas
beef in the Manhattan markets. This question
urges the necessity of appointing competent
meat inspector of integrity. II it is true that
diseased meat is being shipped here and bought
by our butchers because Of its cheapness, the
matter should be inquired into
and the traffic summary stopped,
and the shortest way for this to be
done, is for the butchers themselves to take the
matter in hand as the butchers are doing at Wee
hauken-the abattoir of New York. A few days
ago GLOBE reporter heard of family of six
persons, three of whom suffered severely from
e1cruciating pains in the face which was swollen
badly and the mouth tender and sore, covered
completely with white blistery swellings
from the lips to the throat Whether
this was some disease arising
from eating diseased meat 1t wonld now be
difficult to prove, but il no diseased meat has yet
reached our market it has not been because the
authorities have planted such safeguards over
the market as to prevent it, but because our
butchers are so honest that they will have moth
ing to do with the poisonous stuff.

been verified is shown that May
wheat was quoted yesterday at
91Ic instead $1.02 and from
the time referred to down to the present the
market has steadily declined, with ample crops
and only certain well defined demand. Wheat,
like anything else, has only certain defined
value, the operations of spectators notwith-
standing. In the matter of options or futures it
is feared many farmers are not well informed and
quotations for distant months have, in many in
stances, misled them. For instance farmer in

harvest, hardly care to buy, consequently
business has been mainly confined
to supplying immediate wants. The
receipts Of wheat from all sources have been less
than the previous week, by rail being SIS cars on

these 81, 500 bushels, 49, 500 went into elevator,
the rest to the mills. Receipts from farmers
