New York. May There were several

the room traders to the bear side of the

HOGS SOLD STEADY
Market Did Not Decline
Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS $500
At Other Points Sold 5 to 10
Cents Lower.

The market was steady and firm. At
the opening it looked as though the
price would surely drop, but the local
demand was so strong that discouraging
reports from other points had no effect.
The close was in line with the opening
and prices all day long were practically
the same as Saturday.
The top price yesterday was $500 the
same as Saturday. The bulk of the sales
went at $4.s2q5.o0, which was also prac-
an instance did the prices range ~ cents
either way, what difference there was
being due wholly to quality.
The quality yesterday was fair. The
general run was hardly as good .as Sat-
uTday. There were several loads of top
py hogs IN, which sold. for the high
price. The wagon hogs were Of good
grade and brought prices well in line
with the car lots.
The receipts yesterday were rather
hight, the total number Of hogsHreceived
amounting TO only 800, as compared with
1,15l a week ago. The run of wagon
hogs was quite small, but they arrived
early and were out of the way before
the car lots arrived. The market closed
rather early, as everything was cleaned
up sooner than usual This market
showed up well in comparison with other
points. Hegs sold here steady, while
prices dropped off 5 to 10 cents every
where else.

Provo, Feb. "a married lady of
Provo was found in a compromising DO
sitiOn last evening at SpringvilIe, with
an employee Of one Of the livery sta
ble9 of the latter place This woman
has been in the habit for some time
past of making trips to Springvilfe en-
train No. 4, which leaves Provo at 9:15
p. n. and meeting the hostler at the
Springvilie station and ACCOMMODATING
him up town These meetings have
come under the observation Of Spring

officers concluded to keep an eye on the

going on between them.
The woman made her usual trip on

compaHied him up town and to the lfv-

WHITE BREAD
StarVeS
Many
People
The Reasons are Told
Below.

A piece Of bread that is dry. white
and very light in weight seems TO the
thoughtful person like SO much foam or
other useless and nOn-nOurishing prod
UcL
If one rolls a piece Of moist. light
bread or the interior Of a biscuit be-
tween the fingers, BAN of dough is the
result with an appearance of soliditv
that makes one question how the gas
trio juices of the stomach can dissolve
such a Wad.
1t is small wonder that such food
creates havoc in the way of fermenta-
ton and gas. and consequent disorder.
Many dyspeptics viii find great help
by leaving of the ordinary bread en-
Ilrely, and using in its place Grape
Nuts, in which the starchy and nitro
6enoUs substances have been thorough
ly and perfectly cooked at the factory
before being sent out.
There IS no possibility Of the food As
suming the form of wads of dough. On
the contrary, the food is already pre-
digeSted. the starch of the grains has
been changed into grape sugar in the
process Of manufacture and passes
quickly and directly into Circulation
Grape-Nuts furnish the elements
needed by the system to rebuild. Dar-
ticularly the soft gray matter in the
brain and throughout the nerve eenters
in the body. This statement viii Ia
verified by use of the rev food. II
is delicious enough to recommend Itself
upon trial.
All 6rst-class gr0cers sell Grape-N as
ard the Postum Co. at Battle Creek.
Mich, make them.
