corn 1s414c down, and oats sc lower
Provisions closed unchanged.
On the fractional gain which Liverpool
exhibited today there was some eneour-
agement for the locals who had loaded
Up Monday On the English reverses in
South Africa and the possibility of more
serious complications. The opening here
was accordingly firm, May up &c from
last night, at 7014Q102sc- That proved to
be the best mark OF the day. CIearances
were small and the demand was smaller.
The market gradually eased of 10 the
end, dull throughout. The war-scare
holdings were let out and the price sank
TO a shade over the normal plane it &C
cupied at the close. Saturday, before
Buffers defeat, and the call for additional
volunteers could act as & bullish factor.
May closed &C under yesterday, at 692sq
691zc.
Corn was weak and trade was light.
Primary receipts were light, though local
receipts, 15s cars. were over the estimate.
May closed 1sGi4c down, at 325sc.
Oats were dull and weak, considerable
liquidation having depressing effect and
there was little demand.
Provisions were stronger early, but
eased off later closing about steady. Bet
ter hog prices, and the fact that recent
heavy seller was holding of, together
with the initial strength Of the wheat
market, was an early element OF strength,
and the opening, which was trifle better
than yesterdays close. was at an adj

DIRECTORS WE'RE BUSY.
Heard Protests From Disappointed
Exhibitors.

Yesterday was the busiest day of the
week for the members of the board of
directors of the fair Ever since the
Judges began to announce premium
awards there has been some little dis
satisfaction manifested by a small num-
Der Of exhibitors in each department.
Every time a departmental premium
award list has been filed with Secretary
Sears there have been several exhibit
ors of the department in question who
did not agree with the judges decisions
and protested the awards of the class
exhibits in which they were interested.
These protests, many of them of minor
Importance in reality, caused much
trouble. as they all had to be acted
upon and officially disposed of. To do
this the directors were compelled to
hold sessions all day long and at night
even up to the closing hour of the big
fair Some of the protests were we'll
taken and such We're sustained by the
board.
The protest OF F. Plat & Co. against
the award of the premium on single
and heavy harness on the ground that
the winning harness had not been en-
tered by the manufacturer of it. was
sustained and the directors withheld
the premium.
Upon recommendation of the investi-
eating committee Plat & Co. were
awarded first prize for heavy harness.
The protest against the yearling bull
award on the ground that the prize
winner was under age at the time of
being passed upon fer pEemfum, was

merous horse and sheep deals were also

merous horse and sheep deals were also
reported.
Stock owners from the Sanpete coun-
try who had exhibits at the fair are
jubilant over their success. They came
pretty near securing the first prizes
for every class in which they had
stock entered.
Supervisor Streeper. who had charge
of the agricultural products depart
ment, is well satisfied with the fair.
The exhibits in his department. he
thinks. were better than ever before,
and will act as an advertisement and
induce farmers to more lively compe-
tition next year.
The booth of the Hewlett Bros. COM
pany was especially attractive to vis-
itors to the fair. The hole in the
WALL feature of the exhibit was much
appreciated by the many friends of the
firm who had an opportunity TO view
this work of art.
One of the most creditable displays in
the woman's department, and one that
attracted much attention was the dis
play of hand made linen lace made by
Mrs. A H. Little of Salt Lake. IN
fortunately for the exhibitor. her best
specimens did not contain the neces-
sary number of yards to make them
eligible to competition for the special
prizes offered for that kind of work.

teen were between 5 and As and twelve
between So and So. One was over So
and eight between 45 and 65. Cholera
infantum headed the list with eight
victims, and old age was responsible for
seven.
There We're seventy-two births,
thirty-seven being males and thirty
five females. Garbage to the extent of
241 loads was burned at the crematory.
It consisted of 1900 pounds of vegeta-
