cattle and small stun. There wa$
a moderate export demand; the sup-

For the best here quotations ranged
from $5.50 to $6 per ewn, and light

We tad not much good butcher
cattle here; what little there was
fetched the price of $4.50 to $5 per

largely of inferior cattle .that was
not wanted, and sold at 'weakening
prices, Some common cattle Were
left over. A few choice lots of but-

5ee.per pound.
Mitch cows are unchanged a.t from

fair trade in stockers and feeders at
unchanged prices. There is 110

In small stuff, sheep were weak,
and lambs about 25c per cwt. low-

Sad Story of One . .of the Boers'
Auxiliaries.
A Veenne. despatch says: Count
Anton Potocky d'Otton, who is at
present in Budapest seeking to be
cured of a shot wound, is a man
with a sad history. When the
Transvaal war broke out he had
been for 34 years a resident in the
Republic, and owned a farm about
one and a half miles from Johannes-
burg, valued at about a quarter of
a million sterling. As a Boer
commandant, he went through the
war, was wounded in the foot, and
had his lotver hp badly torn by a
shell, But this was not all. Ills
wife and three children were
burned to death in e llre
which broke out in a concentration
camp, while his eldest son, a boy a
18, fell fighting under De Wet. Count
Potaley, says the Pester Lloyd, in-
tends to return to the Trensvaal to
settle, if possible, his affairs.
