water to those who could not afford to pay for it.
 Y. A, Thompson, superintendent of streets, said the city has plenty of wa ter to spare for this purpose, and it could be pumped very cheaply, but the mains are not large enough to carry the volume of water necessary for ir- rigating purposes, but that it would be possible to furnish some city water. He also suggested that there should be some way of regulating the use of the city water for gardening purposes, as some consumers allow the water to run at all times, paying no attention to whether their hose is running in case of fire, when such water should be turned off.
 Commissioner MacBean stated that several years ago the mayor of Detroit ; had done as MT. Dunlap suggested, taking all vacant properties, cleaning off the weeds, and using them for gar dening purposes, and suggested that the superintendent of streets be given charge of the matter, allotting certain sections to certain needy families, and furnishing water where they are un- able to pay for it
 MT. Dunlap moved that Mir Thomp son be given charge of the matter, and where he can get irrigating water for that purpose to use it, allotting certain portions to families in need, where property owners will give the use of their lots for gardening. The motion ! carried unanimously

The city will be party to the plan to the extent of furnishing such irrigation or city water as may be necessary to success fully cultivate the vegetables it is pro- posed to allow needy families to raise upon these lots. The cooperation of property owners is asked in the turning over to these families of such lots as are now not utilized for any purpose and which in other years have been given over to crops of weeds or afford place for the accumulation of rub bish.

Chicago, July 2-Falling off in arriv-
ais as compared with the corresponding
time last week gave strength today to
the hog market.
The weeks receipts at 12S.2oo about
reached expectations, being 300 small
err than a week ago, close to 5000
smaller than year ago, and 1920
less than two years ago.
Saturdays top at 1855 was 52Ac
lower than June 20, while the average
stands $1.OS below that date, the spread
in values being widest in long time,
with tendency of values still lower,
especially on grassy and undesirable
corn-fed lots on the packer order
This weeks general average price at
s15.15 was soc below previous week
and lowest since March, against 1915
a year ago, $3.50 two years ago, and
$685. corresponding week of 1911.
The estimated average weight of
hogs last week was 227 lbs, against
229 lbs. previous week. 231 lbs. year
ago, and PA lbs. two years ago.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality.
There is nothing in sight but wild
ening of the range between the grassy
and finished classes because the former
kinds are getting too numerous for the
trade requirements. Outside call was
of smaller volume than the previous
week in the face Of a slight increase
in receipts.
Dressed trade was in bad shape in
the east and buyers are calling for the
good grades, seemingly wanting few of
the beef coming from the grass cattle.
This naturally made buyers on the hoof
go slow for the under grades.
Last weeks receipts at SO. 800 showed
an increase Of $500 compared with the
previous week and 16,400 compared
with the corresponding week year
ago. Combined receipts at the seven
markets totaled 10000, decrease Of
1000 compared with last week, but
they showed $4,000 increase compared
with corresponding week year ago.
General quality Of the bulk, was fair
ly good, but the proportion Of grassy
kinds showed a marked increase. which
was Offset on Monday and Wednesday
to some extent by liberal run Of
prime animals. many Of them too
weighty for exacting buyers.
Sheep
Most Of the sheep arriving went d.
rect to killers.
Dressed trade has weakened off ma
terially and buyers are not In the mood
to support the market tor live stock
when they are finding poor call for
the carcasses. Sellers were at a dis
advantage all week, and the trade was
dull every session except on light ewes,
which have become remarkably scarce.
Outside cali was limited. altho coun-
try buyers were after ewes, generally
taking the breeding class. Prices on
country account were not materially
changed, altho some Of these pur-
chased were higher until near the close.
Quality was not much different than
the past few weeks, but buyers were
more exacting than usual, neglecting
common and heavy kinds wherever
possible
