a liar, you can hardly take their first word
for It. For no on yondcr smooth, brown
whae-back ridge stands the Ghost OF the

Half Million Lives Sacrificed Every

He'll Chatclain. n traveller in the dark
continent. lectured before the American
Geographical society ut Chickcring hall
recently, relates the New York sun on
''rhe Internal Slave Trade I'm Africa" He
illustrated his remarks part Of tie time by
Stereopticon Views.
''If any one thinks that slave trading IA
thing OF the Phs pas 9oo ne ooo S aoH me Is mis-
Africa. at least 5oOOO.OOO arc slaves"
If n British estimate to which he referred
was correct Mir. Chateiain said 600 lives
were sacrificed every year IN tho traffic.
For every slave that reached the coast,
eight or nine were sent 20 tho interior.
The idea still prevailing that all of the
slave traders in Africa were Arabs or ma
tives was n gros. error. In large part Of
the interior slaves Were the regular cur
rency. Parents sold their children. This
internal slave trade OF Africa was the real
open sore Of the world, as 1t was Ia Iiv-
ingstone's time.

OF our stars and stripes. Moroccan Jewg,

The leader told me that fifty Of his lot
had died on the way Ia the coast"
The lecturer showed n picture OF a slave
so fastened that lac could not move limb

of slaves who had boon abandoned TO die

and day before. The receipts for the week to
date amount TO 2i,ss2. as against %, O63 for the
corresponding period last week.
In spite of the fact that tomorrow will be a

trade opened just about steady heavy and
packing hogs and strong to &c higher on prime
light weights The movement was active ON the
light and medium grades, which were all
cleaned up early. but heavy loads were a little
slow. Toward the last the trade eased of and
closed weak but still everything sold i'm reason
ably good season.
The heavy hogs sold at $3.10I3.l5 principally
with a sprinkling at $500 the same as yestcr-
day. The medium weights and light sold all tho
way from Sc. 20GI3. 49, the latter price being paid
for two choice light loads.
