LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade of the Week in Most Lines Sat-
isfactory to the Dealers.

While TO say that there had been boom IN
trade the past week would be an exaggeration.
1T is correct to state that the volume of bust
ness was the most satisfactory in some weeks.
Dry goods dealers, druggists. boot and shoe mer-
chants, dealers in hats and caps, millinery
houses. iron and hardware stores enjoyed a good
business. Prices are so low that small margins
are realized. On the other hand. bills paid
with unusual promptness. But few changes in
values were noted during the week In produce
and provisions slight advances were made. Eggs.
poultry and butter in active request at prices
quoted and hog products in good demand in
domestic way. with export business light.
There is more activity in the -four market, but
prices show but little change. The hide and
leather markets are quite and prices are easy in
tone.
The local grain market showed more activity
arrivals fall short of flling the local demand.

Hogs-Receipts. $500; shipments. 1.5OO.
With a good demand for light hogs, espe-
cially from shippers, the market opened
with the bidding stronger, and the small
supply of that class was soon exhausted
at an advance of 2i1G5c in prices The
buyers, however, were neglecting the
heavier grades, and there was decided
determination to force prices down to
basis in keeping with those current in
other markets. Statesmen naturally were
slow in making concessions, but they were
finally forced to take off 10c in some in
stances TO make clearance. At the
close of trade the pens had been well
cleared, but the feeling was hardly as
good as at the opening. The receipts this
week are nearly 1900 larger than last week
and over 5000 smaller than the same week
a year ago. Thus far this year the re-
ceipts are over $4,000 smaller than the
same period last year. The week opened
steady. but later there was an advance of
nearly 1oc compared with the average at
the close of last week This was followed
by a strong market. but at the beginning
of the latter half OF the week there was
a reaction Of 21sc In prices of all grades
At the close of the week light hogs again
showed more strength. and the average
was practically the same as at the high

Sheep-Receipts, small: shipments. none
There were very few fresh arrivals OF
sheep and lambs. and as usual Saturday
the market was quiet. but the offerings all
found buyers at quotable steady prices
compared with yesterday. Rather ordinary
lambs, weighing 81 pounds sold at si.25.
The receipts this week show a decrease
of over 500 compared with last week, and
an increase of over 100 compared with
the same week a year ago. Thus far this
year the receipts are over 5000 smaller
than the same period last year The mar
ket for the week opened steady. and later,
with small supplies and a rather urgent
demand from local butchers, the best lambs
sold at a good advance in prices over the
close of last week This Improvement,
however, proved to be only temporary.
and subsequent markets showed that
values were in no instance any better than
those current at the close of last week.
There is still considerable complaint among
buyers to the poor quality of the offer
ings, and they claimed they are being
forced to pay extravagant prices. A very
good country demand for stock sheep re-
suited in good prices for that class. Dur
ing the week lambs sold as high as $50,
but $5.25 was practically the top, and a
good class sold around s475d5. Best stock
sheep sold as high as 1918 and 81, but
there were no fat grades reported above
$3.50, and S. Is was considered a good price
for the class on sale generally. Quota

ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS.
High School Boys and Girls Give
Miss Gregg a Farewell.

The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western station was the scene last
night Of an outburst of enthusiasm by
the students of the Scranton high
school. The OCCASION was the depart
ure of Miss Matte Gregg, instructress
in mathematics, for Buffalo, n. Y,
where she will meet Mr.. De Foe, of
Tecumseh, Neb., whom she is to mar
ry. Miss Gregg has taught at the high
school ever since the building was
erected and was one of the most popu-
lar teachers in the institution.
Something like three hundred of the
students were at the station last night,
and made the weklin ring with cheers
for Miss Gregg and her future hus-
band.
Every yell in the High school cate
CORY was brought into play, and the
result was a noise which could be
heard blocks away. Showers of rice
descended on Miss Gregg, who at last
escaped from the mob of friendly pu-
pills and ascended the steps of a Pull
man sleeper Her trunks, covered with
the high school colors, and bedecked
with all sorts of jocular squibs was
hoisted into the baggage car, and
there We're thunderous cries for a
speech.
Miss Gregg refused, however, and
the car bore her away, while the stu
dents shouted themselves hoarse.

CAR JUMPS THE TRACK.
Three Women Injured in a Trolley
Accident at Olyphant, One of
Them Seriously.

An open trolley car, which left Oily
phant for Scranton at II o'clock noon,
yesterday, jumped the track in front OF
Kelly's hotel, near the borough line,
and ploughing into an embankment,
tossed the ten passengers and crew
violently about, injuring three women.
Mrs. Hugh Lally, of Wyoming; Mrs.
Arthur Wrightson, of Blakely, and
Mrs. Daniel Jones. also of Blakely. are
the victims. All sustained severe
bruises, and Mrs. .Lally, it is feared, is
injured internally. She was taken to
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Michae ell
Dempsey, of Olyphant, where she had
been to attend the funeral of Mr..
Dempsey's mother. DR.. Price, who is
attending Mrs. Lally, was doubtful OF
her recovery.
Mrs. Wrightson and Mrs. Jones were
taken to their respective homes in car
riages, and attended by DR.. Price.
Their injuries, as far as the symptoms
indicate, are not serious.
l.. j. Siebecker, of this city: Mrs.
John Richardson, of Throop, and
Undertaken j. w. Sweeney, of Oily
phant, who were other of the passen-

this assault are sons OF respectable
parents, who reside in the vicinity OF
West Park. They make practice of
lounging along North Main avenue
from SHETLAND street to Tripp's cross
ing, and when n young woman passes
by with a male companion they fol-
low them. They frequently demand
money upon threats of exposure.
Their next move is to outrage the
girl and silence her by threats OF kill
ing or cutting off her hair and ex-
posing her to the world, and all that
sort of thing.
The Weaver girl admitted that
previous assault was made on her.
when one of crowd of fellows pulled
her to the ground, another gagged
her with a handkerchief, and third
attempted to ravish her. on another
OCCASION in company with girl
named Gertie Williams, of North Gar
field avenue. several of the same
crowd made n similar attempt to as
saut them.
The Weaver girl gave the names of
three young men as members of the
gang who attempted to assault her
several weeks ago, and says she can
identify nearly all Of them IL they are
caught. The Sanders girl also says she
could identify her assailants.
MORE POLICE NEEDED.
The direct cause of these outrages Is
due to lack of police protection, and
while members of the present force
are doing all in their power to sup
press such occurrences they are total
w unable to cover the territory as
signed to them by reason of the length
of their beats. In West Scranton there
are at present only five officers, west OF
the Lackawanna river.
one man has the South Main ave-
nue. beat, which includes the territory
south of Main avenue and Jackson
street, as far as Lincoln Heights and
west to Keyser Valley and all the in
terrifying territory. Another is on the
Scranton street beat, which includes
the Fifth, Sixth and Eighteenth wards.
Another has the Fourth ward and all
of the Twcnty-first ward. west of Main
avenue. Another is assigned to the
whole Fourteenth ward, and the fifth
covers the Jackson street or Bone Hill
beat. The lieutenant of police super
vises the entire territory, and looks
| after the station house and three
| times night makes his usual rounds
over the different beats.
