Crete.
Tae indications in Manitoba and the
Northwest point to a probable rise in the
grain markets there, and if there then in
Ontario. We trust these hopes may be
realized for money has been rather a
scarce article for some time past.
PARENTS will do well to make their ar•
raugements, as far as possible, 8o that
their children will get to school at the
reopening after vacation as a few weeks
lost then often delays the pupil for a
whole term and adds to the inconvenience
of the teacher in arranging the uooeeeary
promotions or changes.
THERE was quite a bit of quiet talk
about Dr. MoDonald'a election in East
Huron being protested, brit as Monday
was the last day to enter such protest and
it wee not done the Dr. is safely seated
for another Parliamentary term. We
were never very badly flustered about it
as we regarded it as a little bluff having
a pair-olf in view.
Tonne seems to be almost a unanimous
opinion among the business ,people of
Brussels that an incandescent light plant
is a neceeeity in town and would prove a
profitable investment. The aro light is
still a necessity on the streets but for in•
door purposes the incandescent appears
to be supplanting it in the neighboring
towns. It costs less and gives better red
sults. We hope to see this addition
made to the electric light plant in Brus-
sels before the coming Fall.

Somebody may say but the "Grit" papers

should they unless when it can be clearly
shown that the advertising done is going
to be of valve. It ie by stopping these

cattle—There was a decidedly batter tone
to this trade today. Good cattle were
selling at from 31xe to 33o per Ib„ and
mediums from $3 to $3,40 per cwt. Only
loads of choice cattle brought ado per lb.
There were quite a few sales at $3 40 and
$8 60 per cwt. For quite a few markets
back dealers have not cared whether they
bought cattle or not, but to -day they are
after the drovers to get them to sell if
they saw they had any good or choice
cattle. Butchers' cattle—There wasade-
cidedly weaker feeling to -day, prices rul-

the cattle was poor. The demand from
local butchers is slow. Some of the inv-

Shippers are very particular as to quality
which has been running mottled and nu.

and should not exist. The total exports
for the season up to the close of last
week were 18,237 pkge„ against 10,312
