As usual at this time in the week, a small
number of sheep and lambs arrived for the
market to-day. In fact. there were not
enough OF any kind 10 establish prices
and consequently there was more or less
speculation as to what the condition of the
market would have been. IL seemed 10

The receipts of hogs were small.
but nearly $50 larger than week ago and
not quite as large as year ago. There was
not q good representation of the different
grades, but a few OF nearly all kinds ex-
cept such as dealers would expect TO COM
mand extreme prices in their class In
harmony with a healthy condition exist
ing in the trade everywhere. the market
opened with a good demand from all buy
ers, and with quite active competition the
small supply was exhausted promptly at
an average advance of SC in prices com
pared with the close of last week On ac-
count of the absence OF top kinds in their
class the probable extreme price was of
course a matter of speculation. but there
seemed TO be no doubt that higher prices
than any reported could have been Sc
cured. In fact. there was a very strong
feeling in the market late in the day and
there appears to be a belief that there will
be a further advance in values At the
same time il may be well TO remember that
prices high and will probably be easily
influenced by the supply and demand

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
Aug. -Cattle-Receipts, zoo; shipments.
$50. The marketing of cattle contin-
ues comparatively liberal for this time
in the week The receipts to-day were
more than twice as large as a week ago
and nearly 600 larger than a year ago.
There was also a greater variety Of grades
represented than usual at this time in the
week. but not a large proportion of fat
cattle. With practically all buyers in the
market and some inquiry for nearly all
kinds offered there was possibly a little
more animation in the market than usual
on Monday. and sales for the most part
were at fully steady prices, but there was
no quotable advance reported. Local
slaughterers were the principal buyers for
fat stock. and on account of the scarcity
of that kind of stock they took a few other
grades that ordinarily they would not want.
There was fair demand for the medium
class of cattle from outside sources, and
professional buyers bought quite number
of feeders, but there was not much inquiry
from the country people for that class. AL
together the market was probably more
satisfactory than usually exepcted at this
time in the week, and the close was steady
with apparently healthy feeling prevail

evidence of sons devotion to his

The battle Of Gettysburg" said Mr..
Cleveland. " When the battle was
laglng at its hottest, and mon on the
Confederate side were falling by hun
drcds, saw stalwart young Southern
soldier rocling from the lines to the
rear, where the hospital was located.
He had been badly shot in the face, and
the blood was gushing forth in streams.
AS nc picked his way over the rough
ground it was plain to see that his con-
'lition WAS serious, and that the loss of
blood had greatly weakened him. But
what attracted my attention most was
the position of his hands, which wore
held upright over his head and con-
tanned small object, which could moi
make out for the smoke and dust of the
battle. | was so interested that fol-
lowed tho young man, and asked him
whyhc held his hands as he did, and
what it was he carried. A wan smile lit
his face, and he said:
