not include a complete variety of grades, and
the quality OF the offerings was not the most
desirable, consequently the demand was rather
quiet, aud 1t took more or less time to consum-
mate sales, but finally most of the fresh ar
rivals changed hands on basis of nearly steady
prices compared with the way equal kinds sold

less speculation as to developments of the mar

are rather inclined TO believe that choice female

prices. and aside from that they do not see any
thing particularly favorable In the outlook. Quo

these sections of the county council
contend that once parliament sane
tons the projects in question there will
be nothing to prevent the eventual

with the tax rate reduced from so

Court has been fortunate in collect
ing several thousand dollars back
taxes. They instructed Receiver Of
Taxes Rettew to advertise all prop

taxes were due. This the Receiver
has done and in this manner has
collected several thousand dollars

Only a few properties have thus far
