with little hope for the future. Thous-

The cattle trade OF the past week
has been an uneventful one. The sup
Iply I'm all OF the leading market
points. has been liberal but II has
been well taken. The trade Is on a
much broader basis than at any pre-
ceding date this year, and the out
look must be considered encouraging.
Many "shortfed' cattle are moving
marketward from western feed lots
as a result OF bad footing in stalk
fields. hut they are being promptly

Killers are taking all tidy stun OF
medium weight at strong prices, but
the heavier grades OF steers are slow
sellers and will continue so during
The remainder of the season. The de-
mand for heavy cattle Is dwindling
more and more every year and feed
ers are beginning TO take the hint,
hence the pressing demand for light
.yearling cattle of good breeding. A
heavy spring run OF big cattle Is not
looked for this year. as feeders kept
away from the heavy cattle last taii'
putting In thousands OF steers, aver
aging from 500 TO 600. This kind, IL

this spring.
Mich cows are feeling the break

more nearly adequate to the needs OF
the trade and prices mere within the
reach OF the man with moderate
means. Current receipts of veal calves
are far below the needs Of the trade

TRIES NEW GRAFT.

Secure Divorces at SIS Each.

/. Peter LeChance is in trouble again.
Some time ago, Peter created a mild
stir in local real estate circles by rep
resenting himself as Daniel j. Cam
pau and renting out some OF Mr.. Cam
pau's property.
Peters particular graft at present is
little gentler. He is engaged now
Fin obtaining divorces for distressed
ladies and he does 1t for the modest
sum Of s..
The other day he approached Mrs.
Louise LaChance-no relation-in her
home. No. 1857 Fort-st. west. He had
clippings from the newspapers, show.
ing that she had filed divorce bill
against her husband.
Hers was truly pathetic case, he
said, and he could fix IL so she
wouldn't have to appear in court. In
fact, he would have her Grant hubby
allied for a couple of months and
everything would be lovely.
A brother of Mrs. LaCaance heard
, Of the proposal and had the man ar
rested.
