NEWS NOTES. Detective Fahey, of Montreal, was sentenced to fourteen yearain the Peni- tentiary. The Manitoba Government has the offer of plenty of funds for the. con- struction of the Red River railway, and the work is to be proceeded with at once. The Ottawa Journal (Conservative) gives currency to a rumor that Hon. John Carling,Minister of Agriculture, will be appointed Lieutenant -Gover- nor -of Manitoba, Farmers in Hastings county are like ly to loose from $20,000 to 30,000 by the hull -less oat dodge. The makers of the notes are seeking to have them de- clared worthless on the ground of fraud. A Boston theatrical manager be- gan an advertisement in the Sunday papers with the words:—" A call for 100 women to sew on buttons dislo- cated by laughter." To his surprise he found the theatre lobby filled the next morning n gwith women who took the announcement seriously and want- ( i a job. He appeased theft as well as he could by distributing among thbm tickets to his performance. This the Buffalo Courier says is not nearly as nice a story as the one -about the ittle girl who found as the closing sentence in one of the tales of the Brothers Grimm :—" And all who do not believe this must pay a dollar." Whereupon she called one morning upon' Jacob Grimm and proffered her onedollar in the moat matter of fact way to the astonished story- teller. The report of the Minister of Ag- riculture, shows that the importa- tions of stock for breedingpurposes in-the-•ealerrdnr year 1887 were :— Cattle, 519; sheep, 6,539; stbine, 262, of which the groatet part, in• eluding nearly all the sheep, went to' the Northwest. The export trade itici'ease it every branch as compared With the p •evious year, the . total value being rbout $10,500,000, The cattle exported numbered 116,000, being an increase of about 25 pet cent, over last year. The immigra- tion branch of the department claims 89,526 settlers tohave arrived In Canada during the year, an in- crease of 15,964 ave« last y ear, the vast majority being English and a- bout nine por cent. Germans. 00111S. We have mmcbi p1saure in aounciaag that our Millinery Opening will beheld on ATt7A'Y,4LP]L14 We extend a hearty invitation to all to visit us. JOHN WISEMAN Manager.

Offerings on Tuesday were light,being under sixteen loads. Demand wasgen- erally fair, but limited to local buyers. Last week's receipts were 514 cattle 214 sheep and lambs and 478 hogs. Butchers' cattle were in good demand on local account, but no outside buyers were present. Montreal and the East have more cattle at the moment than they can handle. Prices ruled firm and almost everything was cleared out. Gen- eral ran of sales were made at equal to 3i to 4fc per lb. - Picked cattle 4}c, and a very choice lot of 4 steers, weighed empty off the cars, at 5c per lb; they aversged.1 080 b' Export cattle were in fair demand. Quality was only me- dium. One buyer made up two loads weighing 1,200 to 1,400 lbs per head at equal to 4i• to 50 per lb. Sheep and lambs lower, Supply fair. Demand not so good from butchers, as many of them have considerable amounts of mutton on band. The quality of the offerings was only fair. Yearlings were inferio4Choioo yearlings are wanted and 6c per lb would be readily paid for them Sales were 33 head, 90 lbs 'average, at 85.25 per head, and 11 do, 125 lbs,at 50 per head. MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MARKET At is usual on Easter Monday, there was almost nothing doing on the cattle markets singe butchers had still ample supplies of beef on hand, though there was better demand and larger amount of extra meat sold in the city last week than during any week for several years. The supply of extra cattle was larger last week than usual, and quality very fine, but there were no fancy prices paid none of the sale having been made at upward of 7o per Ib, and only two beeves at more than 6c. One of these was a very fine steer,and was sold by My Snell,of Whitby: The other steer sold by Mr Drawer, of Lachine, to L. Picard, of Inspector street. This latter steer was not quite 2 years old and weighed nearly 1,490 lbs. four heifers sold at 6e per lb. They.were certainly the best lot sold here this season. Tho general prices of Easter cattle thin year were about Go per lb., with a few at from 51 to 5,}o do. What aro these Impurities? The report of the Ohio State Dairy and Food Commission on baking pow- ders shows a large amount of residum or impurity to ell fit in many of these artioles. The figure given by the com- mission are as follows: NAME IMPURITIES OR RESIDUUM. 10.18 pr. ct 1L99 " 12.63 " 12.66 " 24.04 " 31.88 " 32.52 " 36.49 " The question naturally arises in the minds of thoughtful consumers, Of what does this impurity or residuum consist? In the case of the first named powder there has; been recently given the re- sult of an analysis made by Prof. C. F. Chandler,of Columbia College,New York late member of the New York State Board of Health, which partially sup- plies the missing information, and as the manufacturers of this particular powder are continuously calling for the publication of all the ingredients used in baking powders, there can be no ob- jebtion to its statement here. Among the impurities Prof. • Chandler found Cleveland's powder to contain a large amount of Rochelle Salts, 5.49 per cent. of lime, with alumina, starch.and water in quantities not stated. Alum is a sub- stance declared by the highest authori- ties to be hurtful, If the balance of this residuum in all the powders named is made up largely of alum, as it is known to be in some the public would like to know it. Another official test that shall go quite to the bottom of the matter seems to be demanded.
