MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGE


 tember 4, 1911. Cattle SUD- plies are short today at all the markets, the run of IS, ,OOO head here, including 2,OOO calves, be ing several thousand head less than d normal Monday run Ill September. The Labor Day hol- iday cut some figure. shippers fearing packers would want few cattle, on account of the plants being closed today. Heretofore this holiday has not reduced the run to any extent. The fears of the shippers seem to have been we'll founded, for the market IS steady to 10 lower on most of the cattle here, a few corn fed cattle at stronger prices being the exception. The cattle run for a month past has contained a larger percentage of beef steers than usual at this season, be- cause of good late pastures. For this reason killers are getting almost as much beef as a year ago, ip spite of the shortage in total receipt. StOckerS and teed- CTS fell short 5000 head here last week, out of a total short age of 13,0O0 for the week, from last year. Killers protest that beef Is costing too much, and they enforced a decline of 15 to 25 cents ill the general market last week. Indifference on the buying side today added a little more to this loss. Prime cattle are scarce, and $S.15 was paid tor fancy Missouri steers here today, from the same feed lot as the $S.20 steers here two weeks ago Bulk of the beef steers bringing $5.75 to $7.25, grass steers $4 60 to $7.35, native cows $500 to $5.25, bulls $500 to $4.5O, veals up to $7.5O, quar- antine cattle sold strong first of last week, but closed with a slight loss, 70 cars in that di- vision here today, steers at $4.OO to $5. .45. cows $500 to $+3o !, Colorado steers, 1,164 pounds from Placerville, sold at $5.30 here today, New Mexico stock CTS $3.75 to $4 65, Panhandle cows $3.25 to $40o. Calves $4.5O to $7.25, native feeders bring $4.5O to $5.75, stockers $3.5O to $5. 25.
 Hog receipts show a shrink age from runs short time ago, but are larger than at this time last year. The market is hrmer than a week ago, and prices are going up. 5 to 10 higher today. Receipts here today $500. Top $7.5O, bulk $7.2O to $7.4O. Pr1- ces are two dollars per cwt, low CT than a year ago. Quality ol hogs IS better than a month ago and not much different than a year ago, average weight for August this year. POI pounds same month last year 2OG pounds. Shippers are taking a good many hogs, and packers buy more willingly than toI some weeks past, points whlct indicate firm markets ahead.
 The we is shipping sheep lib orally, and the market is break ing badly. Lambs are the chic sufferers, aged sheep holding al most steady. Lambs lost 25 tC 40 cents last week, and are of 10 to 25 cents today. The bes they could do today was $500 yearlings worth up to $4.5( weathers $3.75, ewes $3.50 Three-fourths ot the range stuf , goes to tue Iillers, and the feed ing stuff is better than yea ago.

Saturday was an ideal day for the lay ing of the corner stone of the Cyril and Julia Johnson Memorial hospital, and large numbers from neighboring towns joined our citizens in httingly
 honoring the donors. Every detail
 had been carefully planned by efficient committees and the executed program was credit to the town. The stores were closed and Stafford was in Gala day dress, with flags flying from public and private buildings along the line of march. Early throngs of people gathered along East Main street and under the beautiful shade trees about the hospital grounds. The OOnneoti- cut grand lodge of Masons had charge of the ceremony, and its officers were dinner guests of Worshipful Master David Robertson at the Springs House. The line formed at Ionic hall and at 3 o'clock started in the following order: Citizens band, Fayette lodge of Rockville, Woloott lodge of Staf- ford, Uriel lodge of Mans6eld, Ionic lodge of Stafford Springs and other visiting members. the grand lodge and carriages, in all about 26O Masons

On arriving at the hospital site on East street the lines sepal ated, forming an aiele, which the grand lodge passed through to a platform erected around the corner stone. The main floor had been laid and was occupied by guests of honor, including Mir. and Mrs. Cyril Johnson, the speaker, Rev. Dr. O. H. Puffer of Salem, Mass, and the architect, Wm B. Johnson of Hart ford. Iu the rear was seated large chorus under the direction of Albert E. Waite, which in opening led in the tune of Pleyel's hymn with the fol. lowing words written for the occasion by Frederick Moxon of Rockville :- God of love, to Thee we raise
 Strains of gladness, hymns of praise; In Thy goodness we rejoice,
 Thanking Thee with heart and voice. Natures balm of summer skies, Love that shines in brothers eyes. Hearts that feel, and hands that bless, Come from Thy great kindliness. Father, in whose life we live,
 Courage, help and comfort give; Guard Thy children, each and all, Till life's evening shadows fall.
 Past Grand Master Fred A. Yer lpanck acted as grand master in the impressive Masonic ceremony of plac- ing the stone. Grand Master R. B. Chapman of Madison acted as deputy grand master. Others assisting were Grand Senior Warden Wilbur 8. Com- stock of Haddam, Grand Junior War den B. H. Parkman of Thompsonville, W. M. David Robertson acting as grand treasurer, Grand Secretary Frank W. Ravens of Hartford, District Deputy O. 0. Perkins of New London as grand senior deacon; Grand Junior Deacon Thomas Mckenzie of PaWca. tuck, Grand Marshal l.. J. Nickereon of Cornwall, Grand Senior Steward Rev. William F. English of East Windsor, District Deputy E. M. Peck of West Hartford as grand junior steward; Associate Grand Chaplain Rev. J. F. George of Rockville as grand chaplain, Past Master H. 8. Abel as grand tyler, Past Grand Mas ter E. B. Fuller of Holland as grand architect.
 Grand Architect E. E. Fuller pre- scented to MT. and Mrs. Johnson, in behalf of the general committee of Ionic lodge, the handsomely engraved silver trowel which had been used in laying the corner stone. Mir. John- son responded in few words of ap- preciation.
 The corner stone bears the follow ing inscription :-

stitution, might have been sacrificed. And the blessings we contemplate in the immediate years will be continued into a future no man can bound. With good reason, then. do we rejoice at the laying of this first stone. And deep is our gratitude to these friends of ours-husbAnd and wife of our own community, devoted each to the other. respected by all for their personal worth. the manner of their living, and their interest in the public good -who, in the service of their fellow men and women, present this hospi- tal."
 In speaking of the enormous growth of the country along lines of industry and education, he placed the glorious spirit of the modern philanthropist as we'll keeping pace. The hospital will be wholly representative of Stafford mind and means, as not only the spirit and money were local products. but the architect, W. D. Johnson, and Dr. Fred F. Batohelder of Boston, who has given many helpful sugges- tions, were both boys of Stafford. The exercises closed with the singing of the Doxology and the benediCtiOn by Rev. R. M. D. Adams.
 Supper was served to 142 visiting Masons by the Baker chapter, Order of Eastern Star, at the Congregational church.
 Former State Treasurer Freeman F.. Patton was chairman of the general committee of Ionic lodge and Fred G.. Sanford was secretary.

In this vicinity has brought forth the
information that this toothsome berry
will be much later this season than
usual. AS yet the plants have grown
scarcely any, and as the fruit is not
ready for picking until about thirty
days after the blossoms come, It will
be June 10 before Delaware berries
will be in the markets. This Is
about three weeks later than usual.
The store OF Thomas Davis will
soon be one Of the largest in this
town. The owner Of the building, J.
E. Holland, has remodeled the struc-
ture thus giving Mr.. Davis about
double the floor space.
Recent rains have made the roads
in many places near the bay shore
