To say that the bull moose has the

heart OF a bull moose he would be a
terrible thing indeed.
But often the courage of the
moose assists in his destruction, and
his strength is of no use to him
against modern rifles. Both in Canada
and In the American states, where the
noble animal is still to be found,
measures more or less adequate have
been taken for its preservation; but
II its range can be extended, the dan

Stockyard Notes.

Packers are still operating in the
Gamer trade, and the market for these
has fair life, but values have not
shown much gain over last week s
range.
Bull trade is dull at last weeks
prices, the demand from eastern and
export concerns being small. Bolognas
are especially slow sale under poor
outside call.
Calves have held about steady of
late. Best lots are now worth $500.
Strictly good feeding cattle show a
10c gain compared with last week
and the market for medium and plain
kinds is steady, while poor stockers
are a drug at weaker prices. The main
call is for 500 to 900 lib kinds, but good
ones Of these weights are scarce. There
are also few 1000 lib feeders to be had,
and when they are found buyers must
pay $500 or better for them.
With lighter receipts and improved
quality traders anticipate brisker
horse market next week, as the gem
eral outside demand is for the best
grade of all commercial classes of
horses.

one of the prosperous young feeders OF
that section, had two loads Of 1340-lb
cattle on Wednesdays market which

Range cattle supplies this week TO-
900, about the same volume as came a
week ago.
Some of the eastern buyers had Or
ders for fat steers which they could
not fill, the supply being too small
Tais weeks run of hogs has been a
decided surprise to the trade and has
nlayefl havoc with all calculations and
forecasts. Instead of a diminished
supply regular flood of hogs has been
cut LOOSE. Quality has been good and
it is evident that somebody has been
holding hogs back with the object of
rising the market If this run keeps

stnekers and Feeders.

The demand for stockers and feeders
was fairly good and prices were STEADY.
Not many cattle were on hand and aii
of the good ones were soon soid. NJ
quiry for the common light stock cat
tie was light and has been all this
week. and dealers say it is likely to
continue so, as the weight of the de-
mand is on the good to strong weight

noticed this week than for some time.
and the volume of business is growing.
The future looks little brighter for
the good cattle, but there is not much
hope of an advance in the market for
the common light with indifferent
breeding. Good strong weight feeders
are salable at $4m4.25, with medium
class at S3.50D3.S0, and the common
light feeders down to $3.50
