Spring Cleaning Made Easy.

The first of May is sufficiently early to
begin spring cleaning, but the work may
be very much lightened by getting every
thing in readiness beforehand, as well as
providing the best articles for cleaning
purposes. For washing windows. wood
work and floors nothing equals Ivory
Soap. Soft water Is always easier to
work with than hard. For banishing in
scots from presses and beds use alum and
borax and for purifying inside and out
side lime is excellent.

Call loans were decidedly easier again,
the maximum rate not exceeding 51a per
cent, and the majority of the days loans
being made at s per cent or below. This
did not prevent slight reaction in
sterling exchange rates in sympathy
with the easier tone Of foreign money

The disbursements Of cash by the sub
treasury on account of government pay

banks have deposited at the suhtreasury

$l,C52,G00 So far as the money move
ments by express is concerned the banks
are estimated TO have lost less than
$l,5OO,OO0. The heavy outward movement

this there have been receipts of 81, 300, 900
of foreign gold and about $4,000 by
cashing of drafts of the San Francisco
mint on the subtreasury, making a total
Of about $3,55O,0OG. This would indicate
net gain TO the cash reserves of the

further reduced their loans, so that there

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The temper Of
speculation was determinedy bearish to-
day, and all favorable incidents were
persistently ignored The reactionary
spirit found it's chiefA vent by selling
Brooklyn Transit. That stock was easily
the leader OF the market in point of ac-
tivity, and although the dealings did not
approach the higher water mark of
few weeks ago, the unsupported condi-
ton of the stock, and the large blocks
offered, suggested a resumption of late
conditions. Metropolitan Street Railway
seemed to show acute sympathy. Man
haitian was little affected, and the New
York Gas stocks were firm in tone. There
were some wide movements in stocks
not usually prominent, but the market
as a whole at no time awoke from a
condition of lethargy. New York Air
Brake made q characteristic fall OF 8
points, and the Flower group, as a whole,
except Rock Island, was notably weak
in sympathy with Brooklyn Transit Of
ferngs of Sugar and Tobacco were
greater than could be absorbed and both
stocks showed sharp net declines. The
American Mailing stocks were acutely
depressed.

and do not expect much Improvement in
prices as long as the heavy receipts con-
tinue. The demand is for light stuff or
heavy feshy feeders that can be finished
off quickly. So shippers should govern
themselves accordingly.
HOGS-Hog prices have been on the
down grade all week. Today the top
was S4.55 for prime, light, sorted hogs
that sold to local butchers. The bulk
Of the light hogs sold for $3.50 to $40
These prices are from 80 to 40 cents
lower than the highest prices on Men
day. Heavy hogs are selling from 81
to $4.35. There is every indication that
there will be very little, if any, improve
ment in the market and we would advise
shippers to be very conservative.
SHEEP-The market has been slow
and dragging for the past three days
Prices on fat sheep and fat lambs are
off from 10 to 20 cents and the demand
is very light. Stock sheep and lambs
are in fair demand, but at lower prices
Buck lambs are suffering the most and
are selling fully so cents a hundred lower

Cattle receipts were light, running 800
less than Friday last week and about the
same as the same day year ago: Even
demand, and the common and off-colored
were practically unstable. Some good
Canadian stock calves, stockers and
feeders were in tie market. the calves
brought high price, but the heavier
cattle did not sell so well; The only
butcher offerings were a few medium
and thin native COWS that sold at steady
prices Stock cattle moved slowly, with
steer calves and feeders in best demand.
There was no quotable change in prices
on anything.
