to tower up and over ones personality.
One had no mind of ones own. One said

Miss Lizzie's cold up-and-down survey
smote one into a condition something akin
TO v%acuity, until Miss Lizzie said briefly,
sit down..
Then one sat down hastily.
Miss Lizzie never wasted a word. Miss
Lizzie closed her lips. She closed them so
their lines were blue. Miss LiZZie's eyes
were blue. too: but not a pleasant blue.
Miss Lizzie did not scOld. Miss Lizzie kept
looking until one became aware of an ell
bow resting on the desk. In Miss Lizzie's
room little girls must sit erect.
Sometimes Miss Lizzie changed 1t
came suddenly. One day il came suddenly,
and Miss Lizzie boxed the little girls ears.
The little girl had knocked over a pile OF
states collected on the platform for mark
ing.
Another time Miss Lizzie changed. 1t
was when the little girl brought a note
from home because her ears were boxed.
Miss Lizzie tore the note in pieces and
threw them on the ;ioor.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Trade on Saturday was rather slow. The
travelling statesmen have been in since
Wednesday night and the retail merchants,
desiring TO clear UP stock left over from
Thanksgiving, were not very liberal buyers.
In prices there were no marked changes.
In the fruit and produce markets there was
a difference Of opinion as TO what will be
the outcome of the present condition OF az
fairs. Irish potatoes have been steadily
advancing until they have reached the
strong position at 81 a bushel. and there
are those who think prices will be 10 to Is
cents higher during the present month
Others claim that there are enough pOta-
toes in sight to take care Of trade for some
days and that prices must get even. If
the do there will be easier conditions I'm
other lines OF winter vegetables. which
have been advancing with potatoes. Tropi-
cal fruits had a lively week. oranges and
bananas selling freely. Malaga grapes are
good movers and large quantities Of nuts
have been sold. Butter. eggs and cheese
are unchanged and are meeting with mod
crate sale. But few dressed turkeys were
left over after the rush of Wednesday.
These were offered Saturday and the mar
ket is well cleared Up. ne Hour market
attracts some attention. While there is no
advance in prices. the firm. strong tone TO
wheat gives a firm tone TO flour and an
advancing tendency. The eOnfectiOners are
quite busy and will be for the next two
or three weeks. One OF the oldest dealers
remarked on Saturday that sales in the
month closed on Saturday were the largest
in any November in the history OF his plant

and while prices old not advance during
the entire month, as was expected, they
ruled very firm and still have an advancing
tendency Druggists. as usual at this sea
son OF the year, are quite busy. Prices on
most articles they handle carry a STEADY
tone. The provision market in a local way
was active through the entire month, and
the export trade was in excess OF the same
month last year. The iron and steel in
dustries had a busy month. The proprietors
of one of the largest establishments re-
marked on Saturday that he did not re-
member n month in which they had turned
out as many goods. Hides, through the
entire month. were disappointing. There
was plenty OF activity. but prices ruled
weak. The outlook for "a good business the
coming month Is favorable.

been Of smaller volume. the total showing
a decrease Of over 1900 compared with last
week, but there is an increase of about COO
over the same week a year ago and 700
over the corresponding week two years ago.
Thus far this year the receipts are over
$4,000 larger than the same period last year.
From the beginning of the week there was
a better undertone TO the market for fat
cattle, but on account of ample supplies
statesmen were unable to advance prices TO
any quotable extent. Smaller receipts to-
ward the close of the week, however, slim
ulated competition and with an increased
demand from nearly all sources, a gain Of
at least 1Oc was registered in prices of all
fat stock. There was also a better inquiry
for the desirable stockers and feeding cat
tie. which were salable at more satisfac-
tory prices, but common stOckers and very
ordinary butcher cattle did not sell per-
ceptibly better at any time during the
week. At the extreme close of the week
the clearance was better than it has been
for some time past, and dealers seem TO
feel a little encouraged over the outlook
- GIL NAAO4It NdIllEs 4nCl was a WI
tinued scarcity of fancy stock. which &C
counts for the absence OF any extreme
prices, but during the week steers sold as
high as 500. heifers $3.50 and cows $40.
AS usual at the close of the week, there
were not many fresh arrivals to-day and
sales were usually on a basis OF steady
prices compared with yesterday. Steers
sold as high as $5.S5 and most OF the fe-
male cattle were below the average IN
quality and there were 10 high prices re-
ported. Quotations.:
