LIVESTOCK
The cattle market was stronger for all grades.
There was light supply and the demand did not
need TO be very brisk TO incline prices upward.
Heavy cattle were not in very good favor, but the
range OF prices for ordinary TO choice light and
medium weight steers was 10@l5c higher than
yesterday and from 10000 higher that Wednes-
day.
There was decided change in butchers and
Gamers or stockers and feeders. Good grades of
heavy aud medium weight hogs cold strong. The
best brought 81 65@4 10, one sale making at the
outside hgnre. Common heavy mixed lots and
light hogs sold no better than Thursday. Trading
was principally at "a 45@4 90 for heavy and 81 80
GA 90 Tor medium weights and 81 1904 80 for
light. Culls and pigs generally sold below $3 10.
Heavy receipts are in a measure responsible for
the low market i'll sheep. Exportsheep, for which
there was some call Yesterday, were selling well.
Prices were steady. Quotations were: Sheep,

Trade Continues Small.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-Bradstreet's review says:
The volume of general trade continues small, as
expected from evidence OF shrinkage during the
month. Unusually mild, unreasonable Weather
continues TO check the Distribute of COAL heavy
clothing shoes and rubber goods Northwest
South and throughout the central West and
W estern states. although at larger cities the
favorable reports as TO holiday goods and special
ties at retail are or the great part the outcome OF
bright, mild weather.
Improvement in prices is recorded in only a few
leading lineS-wbeat, copper and lower grades Of
shoes which have long sold at depressed figures
There are nine important staples with prices
steady or frm-eather, hides and lumber, lard
live hogs and coffee, naval stores ana cotton and
Digiron at Chicago When considers the list
of staples for which the weeks quotations are
lower, it Is found nearly equal to those in which
advances and steadiness In price are given. Cot
ton goods are weaker, aud sales of moment are
ma de only at concession.
The feeling IN wool is dull still and will remain
so until after January l. when the tariff provisions
90 into effect. BeSsemer iron breaks all records
by dropping TO 80 so per ton. $40 having pre-
yously been the lowest. Jobbers and other
wholesalers as "A rule report commercial travellers
off the road. and that little is doing except to take
account OF stock, The outlook for trade after the
holidays is fair. although larger Chicago dealers
report stocks on hand larger than expected ex-
cept among jewelers., who have unexpectedly en-
joyed heavy trade
from both coasts OF the United States within a
week, reported exclusively to Bradstreet's,
only 2.536000 bushels and in the third
week OF December, 1898 it was 2.605, 600 bush
els TWO years ago the aggregate was 4.247 600
bushels and in the year before that 1t was $685.
900 bushels
The value OF foreign trade in October is
nearly per cent more this year than last owing
to the LAT gey increased importations. 1872 per
cent exports have fallen off 40 per cent. October
imports OF chemicals, coffee, rubber, iron and
steel, raw silk and wool increased, while those OF
sugar declined heavily Exports OF breadstuffs
provisions aud oils decreased while those of cot
ton. tobacco, machinery and fruit increased. For
ten tins the total value of foreign trade was
S1.223.24l .946. o per cent less than In 1893
The imports fell off 49,
43 per cent. Sales of staples at Toronto are slow
and the holiday trade is fair only

WHAT WAS THE CAUsEi

A very Frenchy scene was enacted
at II Paris theatre the night before last.
A young woman sitting In a prominent
seat in the grand circle suddenly, dur
ing the performance, drew II pistol from
her pocket and shot herself.
Nothing is said abo,' the cause, but II
Is vident the act was premeditated and
was Intended to create "A sensation,
which II certainly succeeded in doing.
The young woman could scarcely have
hit upon a more dramatic method OF
making her exit from the scene of life.
She might have reflected, however. that
In taking her own life In n crowded
theatre. where n panic IL so easily
created, she might have sacrificed sew
eral others.
1t Is not lntimated nor IL there n
reason to believe that the girl vas
driven 20 suicide by the badness OF the
performance. There Ia some acting on
the American stage, however. that might
well tempt n highly sensitive person to
self-destruction, in view of the many
difficulties in the way OF taking the
lives of the performers. II Is easy to
imagine that II would be risky for a
spectator Of nervous and excitab1e
temperament to go armed to some of
our theatres.
