The Plea for Privacy.

The old big-room house was built on the
supposition that groups of people. and es-
pecially family groups. wished contin-
ually to be in each others company. On
this supposition the rooms formed their
very framework. The old-fashioned bed
rooms tell the same story. Sisters-two
Or even three--used to share a bedroom; ;
and a daughter paying visit with her
mother was thought troublesome indeed
IL she could not be satisfied to share the
"four-poster' with her parent
But all this community Of house room
proved at last too trying to the national
temperament. which Is not we'll adapted
to continual family sociabiity. 'Give me
a place to myself. however small" was
the cry that went up from sons and
daughters. sisters and brothers. and even
from parents. wearied with the noise Of
the family breakfast table and the per-
sonalities and occasional quarrels Of the
domestic board.

DISPOSITION

CATTLE-Receipts were moderate this
morning as is usually the case on a Fri
DAY and there was the usual complaint
of the offerings. Receipts included practic-
ally no beef steers of any consequence to-
day and values were nomlnally unchanged.
AS compared with a week ago, the market
for beef steers is, II anything, a little
stronger, particularly on the more destr-
able grades. Common stuff has been SELL
ing fairly well, but only because of the
scarcity Of the better kinda.
The market for COWS and heifers was
active and fully steady, so far as 1t went.
In addition to the usual good inquiry from
packers there was a vigorous buying de-
mand from outside butchers as well as
useful met with a ready sale at strong
figures. The general market for cows and
heifers is strong TO 1oc higher thar the
Business in stockers and feeders was
rather quiet today, but for the most part,
prices were well sustained. This was true
as far as the light and medium weight
cattle were concerned, while salesmen
found 1t difficult TO dispose Of the heavy
grades, even at prices l5Q25c lower than
the close of last week, yard traders ave
been anxious to effect a clearance this
week owing to the danger OF storms and
as a consequence. the pens have been
pretty well cleaned OF desirable offerings.
although the trend of values for the week
has undoubtedly been lower.

of the Bank of England. The attraction
for this operation was the payment OF a
commission to the English bankers by, me
American borrowers, which amounted 10
a sharp premium over the interest rate

sumption OF American borrowing in Lon,
don marks a defeat for the expressed
policy Of the Bank Of England, when II

therefore, of further defensive measures

Fat sheep offerings have by no means

ewes, have held up about steady for the

materially different from q week ago.
