CATTLE-Rec eipts of cattle we're very
light this morning, only seventeen cars
being reported in the yards. This was not
TO make a market. 1t seemed ike
q Saturday in the yards. At the same
time there was a very heavy fall of snow
all the morning, making the cattle hardly
presentable 10 a buyer. The result was
that no one was out very early and there
was really not enough business doing to
call it a market.
The receipts this week have been decidedly
for the week before a holiday. TIL better
grades of cattle, both beef steers and cow
stuff, have shown some Improvement, and
ct the close of the week are around 100
zoe higher than one week ago.
The best grades of feeders have also
shown some Improvement and they are
quite a little higher than one week ago.
on the other hand. the common and light
grades are very SLOW sellers and weak.

referred to in yesterdays Bulletin as some
thing we had learned at the Entertainment
and would speak of this morning.
The Opening Remarks contained a brief
history of the band, and especially it's recent
history, which it must be allowed is very
encouraging. 1t seems hat the bald now
numbers As members, but unfortunately the
Instruments are much less numerous and
some are poor from long use, and require
renewal.
Eight new instruments have been pur-
chased from the results of the collection
made some time ago, which collection
we understood the Manager to say had
amounted to nearly one hundred dollars.
lie promised that an account should be
published showing in detail how that
money had been applied. In regard to the
proceeds of the entertainment he stated that
it would be used for procuring music stands
Zone for each player and some new music.
The Manager mentioned that this was by
the advice of Mr.. Roberts, who had given
the band a great deal of most valuable help.
All this we found very interesting and
very satisfactory. We should like to see the
Young men encouraged in every way, both
tor the benefit to themselves of having a
pleasant occupation for some Of their leisure
hours, and for the sake of the community.
1t is true that the Gendarme Band here is
doing remarkably well but there can be no
harm in having q citizens band also, in a
community like ours, which cannot be said to
be over-burdened with opportunities of
amusement.
