VNTTIE-Thcrc was good, fair run OF
catt!e today the receipts numbering 2,S07
head rs against 3O6i yesterday and 933 on
Thursdny of last week. The general mar
kct did not show very much change as
compared with yesterday
Beef steers were in liEht supply and In
good demand at steady prices. One bunch
OF fairiSh cornfcd native steers sold at
N'5. The offerings were all taken in good
season.
The marke' on butchers stock was also
about steady, and the twenty to twenty
five loads of cows and heifers on sale were
mostly all sold early in the day.
The stocker and feeder market was steady
to little easier. Statesmen who happened
TO have cattle that pleased the buyers re-
ported their sales as steady with yesterday,
but the tendency of the feeder market was
lower. Representative sales:
Omaha daily bee., 1896-10-16

HOGS-The receipts of hogs were liberal and
the largest in some days 762 being reported in
against 4.2O2 yesterday and 3.G5I week ago.
The sharp advance in values the nnst few days
has evidently had D. stimulating effect upon the
shipments Of nogs.
After n steady upward tendency since Monday
Of last week during which time values ad-
vanced 35QiOc. the Inevitable reaction came to-
day. Yesterdays sgarp break in the provision
market was tle immediate cause for the de
cline In the hog market today. The trade
opened 100 l5c lower chan yesterdays morning
market: and as .fqlsfmen generally were pre-
pared for the break they took their medicine
and the movement Yqs fairly active at the de
cline Everything Was sold in good season
and the market closed little stronger under
the influence OF the good local demand and more
favorable advices from eastern markets.
Heavy hogs sold very largely at 49, l0a3.l5, as
against 81 25G3.30 yesterday. few loads Jf
heavy hogs though not many. sold at s.. 20 in
the same way that few loads brought S3.3
yesterday.
There were some pretty good light hogs here
lighter than anything on sale yesterday. which
went at S330M335,
The great bulk Of all the hogs sold at $3.50
$50, the bulk yesterday being at S3.3Oa335. To

THE NORTH POLE.

If it turns out that Dr. Nansen did not get his hands on the North Pole, or if we hear that after he did it slipped out of his benumbed fingers, there will perhaps be some regret in this region that search wasn't made for it right here in New Haven. During the last two days there have been many North Polar indications here. So many, that 1t would hardly have been surprising to see the North Pole sticking out at any bleak street corner and surround ed by merry polar bears and Esqui- maux dogs rejoicing together in the glorious climate Possibly the search for 1t here would have been disap- pointing. The search for it has long been disappointing when conducted in the place where it ought to be. But searchers here could have had the pleasures of imagination and they could have got very cold, which is all the other searchers for the North Pole have succeeded in having and doing, except, perhaps, Dr. Nansen. But if he has really got good grip on the Pole what has been going on here this week?

4 BIIDGE EFFORT TH EORY.

The Bridgeport Farmer has curious
 theory to account for the protest that
 has been made against the indecent ex- posture of Yale legs. It does not be- lieve that the women of New Haven
 have been shocked by the Yale calves
 that have been seen in the streets Jeal-
 ousy, not modesty, says the Farmer, is the motive of the protest which has
 resulted in the eoncealment of the mar vellous legs which are among the chief
 glories of Yale and which run with her l banner to victory And then the Far I rler explains that the jealousy Is the jealousy of the men Of New Haven, be-
 canse the marvellous Yale legs excel in beauty and grandeur the legs of the Governors Foot Guards
 We'll, we'll, well! To think that the men of New Haven could be thus 'sassed'' and misrepresented, even in
 Bridgeport. The Farmer has, of course,
  seen them it would know that what ever effort has beer made to improve any of them has been due to the high rank among legs held by most of them, and it would acknowledge that such effort was more a tribute to excellence than confession of inferiority. It has,
 of course, been found impossible to pick out of New Ravens best men com pany of Guards all of whom can be equally celebrated for their legs, but we can assure the Farmer that enough has been done in that direction to
 knock it's theory into q cooked hat. The men of New Haven have no cause for l jealousy when they compare the legs
 of the Guards with an equal number of Yale legs, clothed or unclothed. And when we come to picked legs the pick
 ed legs of Yale that have been stram- ming through the streets of New Haven and shocking modest women and mod est men are not in it with the picked or piekable legs of the Guards
 No, Farmer! Prate not of jealousy which the facts and the fates forbid.
 When the sun is jealous of the moon,
 and when New Haven is jealous of Bridgeport, then, and not till then, will the men of New Haven be jealous of few Yale legs which, unclothed, could not proudly walk in the same process sion with many legs, also unclothed, of the Guards. And as for jealousy of any clothed Yale legs when compared with the beauty and the symmetry of any clothed legs of the Guards-well,
 nobody but Bridgeport Farmer would think of it.

well, Taking certain agricultural cen tres, it is willing eXperimentally to send out from It's stations men who will go round with carts to the various farms in the district and receive the produce from the farmers without re- quirlng the latter even to pack it.
