There is little new to note in this market since our
last review. The past week was much q repetition
of the one previous. Mules continue to sell slowly.
but prices little changed. Good horses. saddlers.
drivers and heavy draft have been in very good
demand. But medium stun and little southerners
have been draggy and In many instances sold for
less money. There were a number Of new buyers in
during the week. but they all wanted good AMI
mails and for such were willing to nav very we'll.

The market for this grain the past week has been
the West. The arrivals at the three principal re-
ceiving markets being 2.321 cars. against 3.0s3 cars
the week previous. But they are still running heav-
Ter than a year ago. This. with the fact that the
season OF the heavy consumption OF corn is over and
a war would cut of much OF the export demand.
By Saturday No. 2 mixed had dropped here to ESQ
25Sc and No. 2 white to 2sxc. Monday the visible
supply statement showing a decrease last week Of
5000 bushels caused a somewhat better feeling and
the market strengthened up a little. Tuesday cash

There has been less life and a weaker .arket for
this grain the past week. The receipts keep up
fairly well and corn bearish and relatively cheaper
now than oats caused buyers to hold back and squeeze
prices. forcing them down lower than for some time.
A general decline Of &c per bushel was established
Tor the week. The visible supply showed a further
decrease last week Of Ss. 900 bushels and the receipts
at the leading Western receiving points were lighter.
But whatever strength might have been derived by
the market from this was more than Offset by tha
fear OF war at any moment. Wednesday there were

The state of New York is making ar
effort to carry out the law passed last
winter for the abolition of railroad
grade crossings. 1t is the first of the
states to make this important move
ment, and properly so, since it is a.
once the wealthicst and most populous
of them. The undertaking is an I'M
mense one, nevertheless. One of the
state railroad commissioners is author
ity for the statement that there are now
5000 grade crossings which could be
changed under this law. and though no
estimate of the cost is given. it could
not fail to run into many millions. The
changing of the crossings, however, is
matter within the discretion of the
several communities. When munich
pality considers a crossing dangerous
1t makes a complaint to the board of
railroad commissioners, and if they
concur in the opinion the grade must DE
changed. Then the railroad must pay
one-half of the expense and the mu
nicipality the other half. This last
consideration is likely to make the
communities somewhat chary about
suggesting changes.

the game. At 2.4J the referee tossed
the ball and the fun began. AT first II
was SLOW. The girls seemed to lea"
that they might be rude to one another
or that the bah might be injured. SO
they clasped it tenderly in their arms
and usually two clasped at the same
time. Then they would fall gently.
smile sweetly and wait for the referee
to come and start it all over again.
Later in the game this style Of play
wore off Smiles gave place to set eX-

won the first game by 2

between the seniors and juniors. It

watch. Team work and accurate pass
ing gave the seniors the advantage ana
they won 10 to 0. Later in the term the
two winning teams Will play for the
