We carry one of the largest stocks of boys and young mems clothing in this vicinity. It represents greater vari- ety of styles and patterns than you can find if you were to travel miles. Why is this? If we were not able to satisfy customers, if we did not have the goods they were looking for, they would go elsewhere. Every time merchant loses sale he makes a good customer for one of his competitors. This is req son enough for our putting forth the utmost efforts to keep a stock of the most up-to-date clothing as regards style, quality and correct sizes. Isn't it reasonable to expect that you can do better in buying of us than elsewhere. Fl [Davis & Savard, Corner Main street and Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport.

since practically nothing has been done
along this line except by such travellers
as Lewis and Clark, Catlin and Maxi

Missouri valley once occupied by these
tribes over fifty in number have yet
to be surveyed and mapped, and the
specimens found there need to be ex-

Representative Cattle Sales.
Below are given a few of the repre-.
sentative cattle sales:
stockers and Feeders.

Local traders We're obliged to carry
over a good many common cattle from
last week and We're consequently not
in the market very strenuonsly for that
kind. Business was slow and dull
The outside demand was also slack
and that was a source Of 0liscoura ge-
ment to the spectators. There was a
good inqui"N for something weighty
and with good to choice quality. Some
orders are on hand for 110O-lb cattle
of good breeding, but they are hard
to get. and in fact, are not available.
The market is we'll supplied with the
common light stuff, but there is a
very poor outlet for that kind While
the strictly choice are quotable up to
SIS, and the common trashy stockers
are selhax at s2.5o@a2s.

CATTLE STEADY TO-DAY

sTEADlNEss IN HOG MARKET
There Was Active Demand for the Bet

General Quality of Receipts Poor To-

Chicago July 30.-Cattle-Today'i
run was mostly of butcher stuff. The
market was slow but steady, and Of
ferings were confined largely to the
common grades. There was fair de-
mand for heavy cows.
Grassy cattle are coming to mar
keS at the present time in much
larger proportion than usual. Buy
ers are getting so many Texas steers
at low prices at outside markets. thai
they are putting on considerable bear
ish pressure in the market for natives
ton.
Hogs were steady, and for the better
sorts of light animals there was active
demand The quality of receipts was
generally poor.
The run yesterday afforded some
proof that liquidation has ceased. but
it must be remembered that the ooun-
try is very busy with work in connec-
ton with the oats harvest and that
may be a factor in depressing the
movement.
The average weight of hogs re-
ceived at Chicago last week was 242
lbs, against 236 the previous week
and 234 year ago. This indicates
that the big SOW season is on. Ii is
becoming two sided run, light mixed
on one hand and big packers on the
other.
Average weight of hogs up pounds
last week.
A year ago the top on light hogs
was 500 but mixed stuff had to be
good to make $3.50, lot of it selling
at s6,4o
July hog run will not be much
heavier than a year ago.
Country may be short on hogs or
merely busy with oats.
A year ago all sheep were selling
under nickel $3.50 took the best
lambs, feeding lambs cost $6@6.50, and

all along the line, and the good bulls
