Quotations in Chicago and Elsewhere.

Chicago, April 7.-Despite liberal re-
ceipts at the yards today, prices for
cattle except the poorest grades, were
generally higher. with the advance as
much as 10 cents for the best. Offer
ings We're readily bid in.
Demand for beef is slack all over
the country, and the approach of
warmer weather will not help the
trade any. This is the week of the
spring season when demand is usually
the lightest because it precedes Easter.
Exporters are buying only a small
number of cattle. ship space being
difficult to contract, and the markets
abroad also are on a basis which does
not warrant big shipping. There is
thus no encouragement for liberal
shipping in any quarter, and the trade
will welcome a light run in later days
this week.
Yearling and choice handy weight
steers are relatively highest sellers on
the list Just now. Recent severe de-
clines for the heavy, good to choice
heeves have brought prices for these to
a level of 25@35c under the recent ele-
waited point, While the medium and
plain grades of LOO to 1900 Id steers
are likewise down largely 25c from
best selling basis a short time ago.
Hopes for immediate recovery of these
declines are not entertained in the
sellers camp. The situation all around
appears little bearish, and until the
beef demand east improves decidedly.
which is likely not to be noted until
industrial conditions are on a more
stable basis. there appears small rea-
son for any bullish expectancy
Hogs.
With about $4,000 hogs received to-
day, prices advanced cents at the

ally maintained
Sheep felt the general advance and
prices up 10 cents for best, with 9TH

y feature of the trade at present is

There is a growing desire on the

China to choose their own mates. Fa.
theirs and mothers are therefore called
upon by the Chinese to uphold the old
rules. Children, says the Chinese board
of education, should have nothing to
do with choice in such matters. How.

Prize offered Astronomers

A novel competition is to be decided
by Halley's comet, which is expected
soon to come in sight ior a few
months of its 75-yesr circuit around
the sun. A wealthy European amateur
astronomer offered prize for the best
computation of this comets orbit, sub
mitted before the close of 1909, and a
competing ephemeris for this year and
next indicates a very different route
from that expected, showing the peri
helion passage in TIE middle of June

Lawsuit Over Fleabite.

The legal adage de minimis non
curat lex was apparently reversed in
the Glamorgan county court, held at
Cardiff, Wales, recently, when a work
man seriously sued his employers for
compensation for injuries sustained
while putting in shop front, the in
juries being the result of a flea bite.
The claimants solicitor asked for an
adjournment, as he said his client was
i'll. The Judge granted the adjourn
ment, but was informed Immediately
that the claimant had been seen in
the neighborhood of the court. There
upon the judge called the case again
and gave judgment for the defendants
on the ground that the man might
have been carrying the flea foe half
an hour before he went to work.

where dealers purchase supplies for
