Human Perversity.

How free we are to give advice
TO those who do not need'it;
We give it gladly without price
TO them that will not heed 1t.
But let some one who thinks we know
Come seeking information
About the surest way togo
To gain an honored station
And, deemiIg him a thoughtless bore,
We treasure and keep hidden
That which we freely gave before
Unasked for and unbicden.

customer frowned

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Money was in good de-
mand today in connection with the settle

counts were firm. Operators on the Stock
exchange were occupied with the mining
carry-over. The announcement of Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain's forthcoming visit
to South Africa had little effect on the
market, though the matter was much dis
cussed. Consols were steady and inactive.
Americans opened fairly firm, fractionally
on either side of parity, with a hardening
tendency. Later they became irregular and
closed weak. Spanish As improved on con-
tinental support. Gold premiums quoted:

SHEEP-There was a record breaking run
of sheep here today, there being about Us

cars. Several of the trains were late in
arriving, so II was noon before much could
be told about the number of head. II was
evident, though, that there would be over
5000, which would break the record in
the receipts was sheep, while on October
6, when 81 .S4 head arrived, a big proper
ton consisted of lambs.
Considering the big rum, the market held
up in very satisfactory manner. Packers
were all anxious for good stun and as
there was not very much answering to
tnat description the best grades held right
close to steady. The great bulk of the
stun, however, sold fully a dime lower
and in some cases the decline was even
greater. Buyers claim they have been
compared with Chicago and for that reason
they were beaTish.
The same as has been the case for some
time past. the big bulk of the receipts
consisted OF feeders, so that all kinds sold
considerably lower. There were a good
many buyers on hand, but there was such
an enormous supply in sight that a break
could not be prevented.

run of cattle here this morning, the market
showed but very little change from the
close of last week and trading on desirable
though, were more or less neglected.
There wera not enough cornfed steers In
cluded in the receipts to make a market,
but the Few cars that did arrive sold at
what looked TO be Just about steady prices.
Tbs quality was only fair.
A. good proportion of the receipts this
morning consisted OF cows and heifers, but
still there were not very many hat could
be called choice. Packers seemed to have
quite liberal orders, so. that all kinds sold
at right around steady prices with the
close of last week. In some places the
market may have been a little soft, but as
a general thing sellers succeeded In get
ting just about steady prices for anything
Bulls, veal calves and stays also sold at
about the same prices they did last week.
There were p good many stockers and
feeders in sight, but the demand was sufi-
prices. The cattle of good quality weigh
ing around 800 to 1000 pounds seem to be
selling to the best advantage at the pres
ent time. Trading was extremely dull on
the common kinds of stock cattle, as specu-
hand that they carried over from last
week. AS a general thing tnat class of
cattle had to sell lower.
There was a good demand for western
beef steers this morning and the market
Anything at all desirable sold freely, but
Of course the comomn kinds were some
what neglected. Western COWS and heifers
sold at generally steady prices, though
spots. Desirable grades of stockers n
feeders commanded steady prices, but the
commoner kinds were extremely dull and
lower. Representative sales;
