Gadsden October 1.--(Speoial l-Walnut street will be improved with curb and gutters and with paving consisting of slag foundation and top dressing of chert and lime screenings.

 1t is claimed. Alderman keeling's mos tion for reduction of water rates was lost. He showed that a saving of about $so00 q year could be made to TOO GUS toner's, but the council decided that the surplus might be needed in the extension of water mains.

 Swap Cattle for Cotton
 Yesterday letters were received in Bir- mingham from the Virginia- Carolina Cat tie association at Spray, N. C., offering to buy cotton at 101h cents for good middling cotton, giving in exchange blooded Here- ford beef cattle. The price of the cattle will be left to representative of the New York or New Orleans cotton exchange. This is in line with the urgings of the cotton experts to reduce the cotton acre. age and substitute therefore beef cattle and grains.

BEATS THE OTHER BOOK.

Several weeks ago we clipped an
item concerning an old ledger, from
the Great Bend Democrat. One of
our townsmen, w. c. Lamb, left one
In our office recently which has the
one spoken of beSted by about ten
years. 1t is a cash book kept by his
father, W. o. D. Lamb, when that
worthy sire was conducting a gener-
al store back in Mowequa, his, the
book having been started on July J.,
1854. 1t is book that speaks we'll

in question, as we'll as system and
Deatness, as the items are record d
in a concise, mastery way and are
brought to a balance at the end of
the month, showing the receipts and
expenditures clear through the book
From the same we took q few items
to show some differences existing to-
day In the prices Of a few articles.
Tea was one dollar per pound; can
dies were mostly used and sold in l
dozen lots; gingham was 40 cents a
yard nails eight and twOthirds cents
per pound; yarn socks were SOC per
pair; eggs 1Oc a dozen; butter 15c
a pound; sack of table salt was
S5c; raisens sold for 96c a pound; 2
linen handkerchiefs sold for 81; an
ounce of indigo was worth 19c; cali.
leo was 15c a yard; file sold for
55c; 10 pounds of pork brought SILL
80; 1 fine comb 3Oc; apples $1.75 a
bushel. Some items were about the
same as today IN regard to price. No
quotation could be found on flour but
that was probably on account of the
custom in those days of bringing the

misfortune and you find that, some
where, neglect has had a part. Neg.

they grow serious, undermine the
constitution and reach an incurable
stage.
Dr.. Sparr's success in treating diff
cult cases of long standing has placed
him among the foremost specialists
treating these diseases. This sue.
cess is due to several things. 1t is
due to the study he has given his
specially, to his having ascertained
the exact nature Of these ailments
and 70 the original, distinctive and
thoroughly scientific methods Of
treatment he employs.
To those IN doubt as to their true

rible story of meat shipments that
was running the price of the farmers
COWS. This was played up hard and
fast for two, weeks and then they
took a squint at the market reports
and found that cattle were selling foT
more than they had sold for in the
history of the country. About that
time wheat went off 3 cents bushel
in the markets, nothing strange in
that occurrence for it had gone Oft
more than that hundreds of times
when the tariff was high, but it neV.
er would do to let the farmer rest a
week-he must be told that the tar
iff had ruined the price Of wheat.
Finally wheat went back to its old
price and a little higher, and these
calamity makers let loose of that cry
when no one was looking, and then
they discovered that butter and but
ter fat had fallen off ten cents per
pound, because the tariff had been
reduced 3 cents a pound. Of course,
no one can explain how a decrease Of
3 cents a pound in the tariff can &C.
count for a fail in price Of 10 cents
per pound, but explanations are MOI

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT.

Kansas City, No., March %, 1S14--
Cattle receipts at this point last week
showed the customary shortage Of
5000 head from corresponding week
last year, but the market failed to
act in accordance with this shortage
closing with a small net loss. Fat
grades made up fair share Of the
supply, and outside of some show Of
strength Wednesday, killers acted IN
line with their statements that beef
channels are clogged. ImpoCtatiOns o.
Argentine beef are oonsiderabl and
word came Friday that the equivalent
OF 10000 cattle was being loaded for
New York to arrive a r0w weeks 10
the future. This and other shipments
promise to affect April beef markets
adversely. Argentine beef that sold
in Chicago last week corresponds TO
beef from native steers that sold
at $500 to $40. Prospects are bet
ter, therefore, for animals that sell
above $50. Receipts today were g..
700 head, a considerable reduction
from recent Mondays, and sales were
largely steady, COWS higher in some
cases. Native steers have not ex-
ceeded $50 in the last week, Okla.
.homa steers $40, Colorados $50. The
bulk of the natives sell at 7S5 to
$50 Colorados today $50 to .S.35,
Quarantine receipts today only 10 cars
consisting mostly of meal fed steers
from Texas at 700 to 7.4O. Nothing
Is here to compare with the $3.50 Ok.
lahoma quarantine steers that sold
here a week ago. Stockers and { ed
ers sold some lower at the close last
week and trade lacks dash. Sales are
largely at 100 to 500, with some cat
tie on either side of that range and
the greatest call is for stock grades.
Hogs are fluctuating on q slightly
higher plane than a few weeks ago,
several loads selling at $50 Friday,
which is the high figure for this year
The market today is SC lower than
Friday, top S.75, bulk $50 to $40.
Light hogs are selling better than a
short time ago and occasionally reach
the top figure Hogs apparently have
more latent strength at this time.
