Observation-Disclosures. 500; shipments. 200. The

week and nearly 400 over the corresponding time
. year ago. The receipts to-day were smaller
than for several days and show decrease OF
about ESQ compared with a week ago and $50
compared with a year ago. On account of quite
a falling off in the supply the market opened
with statesmen expecting stronger prices and
consequently they were holding their consign-
ments higher. They were surprised, however,
in the hands of buyers. and the bidding probably
I'm any higher than yesterday
Therefore the trading was little quiet, but
later at steady prices compared with yesterday
was observed that statesmen who had choice
light cattle TO sell found the market better than
those who had TO wreste with coarse unfinished
stock. Local packing houses indicated by their
actions that they were pretty well supplied with
all grades of cattle and the demand from out
side sources not liberal, but very fair
clearance of fat cattle was finally made. The
smarket for stockers and feeding cattle continues
let to-day for the choice selections which re-
suited in a hrmer market for that class At the
close OF trade most dealers admitted that the
cattle that were fully up to the requirements in
quality flesh and weight had sold at firm prices
and that IL had not been easy to get any better
than steady prices for other grades At pres
ent heifers seem TO be showing less strength
than any other class of cattle. There IL really
nothing encouraging in the situation to shippers.

Imagine, on the Isle Of Greece.

How Diomedes would roll piece

Just think of Homer sitting down
Beside some bubblng babbling brook
And munching. with thoughtful frown,
Grain-O, swiped from some Attic cook.
Was old Ulysses handed out
A breakfast food on Circe's isle7
Was brave Achilles rendered stout
BY eating Hoco POGO vie2
Was young Adonis full OF Flakes
When Venus spoke OF loves remorse
And OF her hearts distressing aches?
And say, did Hercules Force?
Think OF fierce Ajax. just before
He did his bolt-defying stunt.
Spilling some Musho PUra Ger
His castiron vests expansive 'front.'
And picture wise old Socrates
Eating Damfino with a knife.
Now did the Greeks foods like these?
We answer, mo, not on your life."

tween all buyers. and statesmen OF course, were
asking a good advance. On account OF the very
small supply IL did not require long to agree upon
terms. and early In the day the hogs were selling
promptly at prices as much higher they were

fidelity and good judgment of whom can
