PIGs-oDDs AND ENDS.
IsO aOO m

SHEEP - Receipts of sheep have been
very liberal this week showing a total Of
b3,l43 head, the heaviest of any week since
the week ending November 19. The arrivals
have consisted almost entirely of range
stock with the majority of arrivals con
sisting Of sheep mostly on the heavy wether
order.
Lambs. owing to the moderate supply
nave been in very good demand throughout
the week and at the close are safely 2OQI25o
higher than week ago. Good Idaho lambs
sold up as high S6.s5.
Heavy sheep were rather slow sale on
most days, but In spite OF that fact prices
continued about steady, closing in about the
same notches as last week. Light or handy
weight sheep on the other hand closed the
week a trifle strong.
Feeders have been in very good demand
throughout the week, but the supply Of thin
stock has been very small most OF the
arrivals carrying sufficient flesh to put
them in the killing class still the demand
has been so good that. the country has
bought a large percentage of stuff that
would really do 10 kill. All classes Of feed
ers are safely 25d50c higher for the week.
Considering the amount OF flesh that a
good many OF the feeders are carrying II is
very evident that buyers intend TO give
the market early in the fall

rowed to Pay Doctors Bills
for Sick Family.

After having mortgaged her furniture for
800 to pay the bills accruing from the sick
ness Of her husband and two sons. Mrs.
Martha Mann, Ssi1 South Thirty-first street
lost the money yesterday afternoon either
by dropping II from her handbag or having
II stolen from her.
She came to the police station early last
night and told the pathetic story. The pity
and sympathy Of the office force was Inn
mediately aroused and orders were sent
out to detectives and patrolmen to make
thorough search for the money which
was all the woman had to keep her and
the sick members Of her family.
Mrs. Mann, however. is not hopeful Of
regaining her loss as she believes the money
was stolen from her while shopping. she
had the money-ten $40 bills-in her hand
bag, she said, and when she went to pay
some bills she missed IT,

II the bonds for the Jail and the fur
nishing of the new court house are not
voted now they will have to be voted later
as a necessity, for the new building cannot
be used until the board has the money to
equip the jail, furnish the buildings and
grade down the grounds. A failure to vote
the bonds will only postpone the date and
cause an unnecessary loss to the taxpayers
They are now paying about $500 per month
rent for outside court rooms and offices,
and new court house and jail is of no
value unless furnished so that it can be

day several pegs. Closing figures were *

the wheat crop proved an unpleasant sur
prise to the bulls According to the Off
cial view, spring wheat in the Dominion
as a whole warrants an average as high
provinces 80 to So. Moreover. the authorities
were counting upon a yield this year
greater than last by an increase of 1,50O 900
acres. 1t was stated in addition that every
day of escape from damage meant just so
much more wheat to safety. The American
northwest. too. sent news generally depress-
Ing as to prices and optimistic as to crops.
Another source of selling pressure was the
fact that adverse reports from Russia re-
garding the smallness of the expected ship
ping surplus had been duplicated last year.
but turned out altogether misleading AL
though a couple of temporary rallies took
place during the days session, a heavy tone
prevailed the greater part of the time,
especially at the opening and near the
the slowness OF export demand. Outside
limits touched by the September option
were s211992Ssc and s34c, with last sales
%@19c net lower at 92Asd92%c.
Corn eased off owing to rains over nli-
nois, Iowa and Nebraska. The market was
also. affected bearishly by the downward
tendency of wheat. September ranged
from 6Sssc to SEC, closing weak &c down at
6jA@6511c. Cash grades were steady. No
yellow was quoted at 651ka66c.
There was a slight drop on oats as a re-
suit of the movement of new crop con-
tinuing of good volume, with the grading
excellent. High and low points for septem-
Der were 4l5sc and 42hc. The close at the
latter figures showed q net loss of Mc.
An idea that the recent selling of pro-
visions had been excessive brought about
rally in prices. 1t was argued that hog
products We're reasonable as compared with
other edibles. When the gong struck pork
had risen 221zc to Csc, lard zoe to 25c and
ribs 121ac to zoe.

sent it to the war department.
In due course it came back with
this Endorsement:
"Risk one EYE. M. Dickinson"

SHE WILL MAKE FINANClER
Engishman's Little Daughter Sur
prIses Him When He Tests Her
Sisterly Affection.

A member of parliament has a
little daughter who has the making
of a great fnancier in her. One day
her father called her to him.
"My DEAR" said he, "a man this
morning offered me this room full
of gold if would sell your little
brother. Now that means gold
enough to fill this room from wall to
wall, and from floor to ceiling. If
I sell your little brother for that
sum | shall be able to buy every
thing in the world you want. Shall
l sell him? %
"No, papa" answered the little
girl, promptly; and then, before her
delighted father could embrace her
for expressing so much unselfsh de-
votion, she went on:
keep him till he's bigger. He'll
be worth more then" -Tit-Bits.
