hie 46th year. Mr. Taylor was up to
December, 1907, a strong robust man,

with a heavy ootd and passed through a
severe sickness from which he never
fully recovered. Wednesday of last
week he was able to be in Wingham
but the following day was seized with
stomach trouble. The deceased was a
son of Mr John Taylor and was born in
this township where he continued to
reside all Ms life. He was highly re-
spected and was a man of many good
parts. His death at an early age is re-
gretted by'a very large circle of friends.
He had 15.11 his life been a staunch Liber-
al. Some years ago he was married to
Miss Bertha Ford, daughter of Mr. Jas.
Ford, who, with two daughters. Misses
Ella and Alberta and one son, Norman,
survive. His aged father, five brothers
and two sisters also survive, viz:—
David, of Blyth; Benj. and Thos. H ,
of Westfield; .William and Robert, of
St. Helene; Mrs. Jos. Stalker, of Wing -
ham, and Mrs. M. Lookhart, of Auburn.
The bereaved will have the sympathy
of a large circle of friends. The funeral
to the Wingham cemetery on Tuesday
afternoon was largely attended.

Live Stock Markets,
City Oettle Market—Toronto, May 4
—There was a comparatively heavy run
of cattle in this market to -day, and
though trade was a little slower there
was a large demand, and by noon pretty
nearly everything was sold oat. On the
commoner and medium mixed butcher
cattle there was a alightly easier tenden-
cy, but on the whole, and particularly
on the choicer quality, either botcher or
export, prices were no easier, the high
levels of the past few markets being
frilly maintained.
There is a more active demand for
export cattle, and some high prune
were quoted, one extra choice lot of
heavy cattle selling at $6.12l-, a little
higher than the top price yesterday.
Tho demand for choice butcher cattle
continues very active, and for the best
Iota $5.25 to $5 50 is frequently quoted.
There was a larger proportion of
medium quality cattle offering, and
thi9 accounted for the slight drag
noticed in the market.
Hogs—Market ten cents lower. Select
hoes are quoted at $7.15 f. o. b , and
$7.35 fed and watered.
