Lass Wednesday the Provincial alae.
tions were held in Manitoba. The re-
sult was the return of 32 Liberals, 1 Con-
servative and 1 Patron with six conetitu•
enoies'to bear from when we went to
press. It would appear that Remedial
legislation is not very popular in the
Prairie Province. Premier Greenway
accred a great victory.
M. C. Oameaoe was elected M. 1'. of
West Huron on Monday by a majority of
over 200. This election was rendered
necessary owing to the .resignation of
Hon. J. C. Patterson who was made
Lieut. -Governor of Manitoba. Mr.
Cameron was defeated in 1892 by a ma-
jority of 16. There was great rejoicing
in Goderich on Monday evening and it
is safe to say the news was very agreeably
received in many towns both iu and out
of Huron County.
Tan Clinton News Record should com-
'parelts editorial cotes a little more 01050-
ly and then it wouldn't give itself away
in the following fashion :-"The Ottawa
crisis gave the Grits great heart and told
heavily against the Conservative condi
date in West• Huron." There was a
"crisis" then. "The Globe would have
its friends believe that there is a split in
the Cabinet. The only foundation for
this is that the Ministers, like all Con-
servatives, are splitting their sides laugh
ing at the absurdities of the Liberal
policy." You should read the daily
papers, Bro. Todd, and you would notice
that there was perhaps as muchcrying as
laughing at Ottawa in the past two weeks.
Tam Clinton News•Record man is
"awfally mad" because M. C. Cameron
licked David Weismiller, of Heneall, in
West Huron last Monday. The medicine
may be disagreeable to take, Bro. Todd,
but it will do you a lot of good when it
gets down. Of course the doses have
been given without much loss of time -
let us see, Cardwell, Montreal, Jacques
Cartier and West Huron -but you won't
likely have to swallow any more until the
General election comes round and then
you catch it again. Cheer up though you
know "He who fights and runs away may
live to fight another day."
Now that East Huron Farmers' India
tute will soon be meeting we suggest that
they devote a portion of their surplus
funds to the East Huron Agricultural So•
theta, prize list in the way of medals or
awards for certain lines of agricultural
products ae they may see fit. The terri-
tory covered by the two organizations is
identical and the objects and aims are
similar, hence the reasonableness of the
proposal. We are of the opinion that a
very proper subject of discussion at the
Institute meetings would be"Therelation
of the Farmers' Institute to the Agricul-
tural Society." If there is any valid
reason why so many farmers hold aloof
from the latter this would be a first-class
place to find it out and if possible remove
the objection. A. large, interested mem -
bership is the backbone of any Society
and none more so than an agricultural
society and the townspeople would back
up the Fall Fair even more heartily than
they do if they saw that the agricultur-
ists were associated with it and really to
lend their aid. 80 members must be on
the roll of the Riding Society before they
are entitled to Government grant and for
that number and upward at least 50
cents will be allowed for every dollar in-
vested in membership fees. In a rural
constituency suoh as East Huron, with
its hundreds of progressive farmers, there
should be ahearty response to the claims
of not only the Riding but Branch So.
piety Fairs, for the rule applying to the
one is virtually the same for the other.
50 members must be obtained for the
Branch Societies to entitle them to
their portion of the grant.
The annual mestiog of the Huron
Dietriet Council of Royal Templare will

Tonoxto, Jan. 14. -Receipts of poor
cattle at Toronto live stook market were
too heavy, and this depressed the trade.
Total receipts were 65 cars, including 494
sheep and lambs and 1,200 hogs. Export
cattle were in demand, and best offered
sold well. A bunch of 17, averaging
1.838 lbs., sold at 46 per lb. ; the range
of price was from 85s to 46o. Butchers'
cattle -There was active demaudfor good
cattle, but the market was filled with
common cattle. The beat sold at 36o per
lb. ; range for best, 360 to 350 ; common,
160 to 96o. A lot of poor stuff was left
unsold at the close. Stockers dull, owing

Hogs firmer ; choice bacon hogs sold at
83 70 to $8.81 per cwt., and light at $8.75
each.
Pork has been somewhat firmer this
last week back in the London market,
and the question is being asked by opera.
tors and farmers whether there is going
to bo money in pork. Advioes from Obi.
sago appear to favor purchases of pont ab
present prices. Saturday fair shipping
animals sold for $4.60 to $4 75. The
Trade Bulletin says the best Canadian
mess pork has recently sold at $12.60,
about the lowest price over remembered
in the history of the trade. - Dressed hogs
also deolineri to remarkably low values,
good packers stock having sold in Mon-
treal ab 54.60 per 100 pounds, whioh is
the lowest figure reaobed for many years
probably emce 1866. During the Into
mild spell several ears were forced on the
market in Montreal at $4, Bub they were
supposed to be a little out of condition,
or else the owner was afraid to hold, them
any longer lost they should deteriorate,
