HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1892-06-10, Page 5JUNE 101 1892 - ' e Laborer, me:lording to the age of the coun- try they are better. To prove my state- ment I will take, for instance, the town of Landon, which just started las than six years ago. It has some eight or ten stores, all doing a good business ; two blacksmith shops and a machine shop ; four hotels, a bank and five Is.rge grain elevatore and three churches and a school that would do credit to any town in Ontario. Now, my friend, could Goderich, Seaforth, or Brine eels boast of such the first six years ef their exiatence. Next he speaks of men driving binders with their overcoats on. Well, Mr. Editor, I did not think your learned correspondent could be so easily led to believe such trashy nonsense. I have been out West about four years now, and I never yet mew any such a thing. le also asks if the farmers do not raise stock how can they manure their land? Dor you really think they dor not raise any stook, if so,you are avidly mistaken. I know some men who have from 50 to 100 head of cattle, eta the farmers ell have a few, and as for manuring the land, it does not need any yet, owing to the richness of the soil. Again, in regard to the threshing Beason, he says that threah- ere can easily make the job last. In this you are more mistaken than ever. That kind of thing would do in Ontario, where they are paid by the day, but not so here. As they are paid by the bushel, it would not pay them very well to be making the jobs last. Then he Joke me what I mean by drudgery. Well,what I mean by drudgery is cutting thistles, hoeing weeds, and tearing out stumps and stones,and looking after old rail fences every two or three weeks. And lastly, he seems surprised that I had to come to Dakota to get my eyes opened. I must admit since I came west I did get my eyes opened to the feet that this is a better place for the young man to make a home in than Ontario. In concluding, I would gently inform my brother laborer that here there are inore wonderful things to see than a few big stones and stumps in some of the back townships of which he speaks about. Thank- ing you for your valuable space, I remain, Yours S. &SPAR.

A local man and a stranger from Dunnville paid as high as $10 a piece for roosters, but owing to a drop in the market you can buy the same roosters for 25 cents tlaie week. The election is over. -A little son of Mrs. George Maynard, of Listowel, received a severe kick on the head from a. horse the other day. The little fellow was struck over the eye and two or three ugly gashes were made. The skull waa also- found to be cracked. At last account the boy was getting along fairly well under skilful surgical attendance. -Another fire, supposed to be incendiary, took place in Listowel on Sunday morning, 29th ult., -ben a cottage, owned by Mr. John Thompson, ar., was destroyed.

Charlie and a St. Marys player were both after the ball when a collision occurred and Charlie Blipped and fell, fracturing a bone in his leg near the knee and dislocating the knee as well. He was carried home and the pain was so severe that he had to be put under ether before the leg could be dressed by the doctors. The bone is badly spl t, and it is altogether probable that Char le will always have a limp in his walk. -The meeting of the South Perth Far era' Institute held at Fullerton on Friday, 27th ult., was an occasion of speoial intexest. The gathering of farmer' wee nothing like as large as it should have been, either in the afternoon or evening, but the 'addresses de- livered were of great interest and value to all those who did favor themselves by being present.

They live in Listowel, where for the past 36 years Mr. Hacking has held the position of post- master. Both are in good health and mental vigor -apparently capable of attending to their official and household duties for a con- siderable time yet to come. He is now 82 years of age and Mrs. Hacking is about 78. The 506h anniversary of their wedding was happily celebrated 10 years ago by a large family gathering and some suitable golden presente, and the 60th return of the nuptial day was duly commemorated. They have had twelve children, nine of whom are now living, the other three having died in infancy. The grand -children number 35, and they have several great grand -children. -During the severe thnnder storm a couple of weeks ago lightning struck the barn of Mr. Arch. Nairn, near Motherwell, and cut a hole about two feet square through the roof and dividing into two parts passed down each side of the roof cleaning off the shinglee in its pathway. Reaching the eave- troughs the electricity ran along to an ad- joining building, shattering the rafters and studding and gougging out several holes in the roof. It finally passed down through a mow of hay and killed n hen. There were six horses within about six or eight feet of where the lightning struck, and several cows outside within about 12 feet of the building. The horses were quite stupid for a few days afterwards, and one cow has become partially paralyzed since, supposed to be causedby the shock. - se TI -19_ HURON EXPOSITOR 13irths.

McCruden, and mother of Mr. Robert McCruden, died at Mitchell on Saturday last. While resid- ing here Mrs. hfcCruden had quite a severe stroke of paralysis, which partially de- stroyed the power of speech. Last autumn she decided on taking up her residence with her daughter in Mitchell, Mrs. Darkin. A week or more before her death, she suffered another stroke from which she never rallied. There were few better known families in Galt, for many years, than the McCruden's, though now they are widely separated, James, residing in Louisville, Kentucky, Edward, in Dayton, Ohio, Mrs. Durkin, in Mitchell, leaving only Mrs. A. Lannigan and Robert as residents here. The family came to Galt in 1852 from Belfast, Ireland.

Thomas Lowry: "The oldest Presbyterian minister in Can- ada passed to his reward on Saturday, 28th ult., in the person of Rev. Thomas Lowry, who died at the residence of his sominilaw, 'Mr. James Whaley, near Milverton staotion. Mr. Lowry was ordained a minieter a the Gospel in 1833 and spent 59 years hi the service of the Master. He was atationed at West's Corners (now Milverton) from 1861 to 1867, and it was during his incumbency that the first Presbyterian church was built in our village. He then removed to the city of Brantford and opent fourteen years in that city expounding the truths ot the Christian religion. Thence he went to the city of Toronto. His has been a grand and noble life work. A truly good man has gone from amongst us. His remains were conveyed to the family plot in the Presbyterian cemetery here on Monday afternoon, eix former members of his con- gregation acting as pall -bearers. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kay, who delivered a very eloquent and impressive eernson, taking for his text the 23rd Psalm. Mr. Lowry lived to the ripe age of 81 years, and passed peacefully away without a struggle.' Deaths.

Morrazitit, June 6. -There wore about 360 head of butohere' cattle, 260 calves and 600 sheep and lainbs offered at the East End Abattoir to -day, There were many more good cattle among the offerings to -day than usual and prices of these declined fully lo per Ib since last week and all other porta have declined more or hoes. The highest price paid te-day by the butobers Will eio per lb and very few went over 41o, with fairly good butchers' cattle at about to per lb. A few very fine lame steers were bought by the ship - pore at 410 per lb, although they will iput.bably have to be sold ai a lomto th , owing e very 1 w prices in British market., but the space which been con- . treated for must be filled. Milkmen's strippers were numeroue and lower in price, ranging from $20 to 185 each, or from 2fo to 3ic per lb. There WWI a good demand for calves at about last week's prime, common vends selling at from 12 to 84 each, and good ones at from $5 to $0, with extra calve e up 40 115. Sheep are rather dull of sale and the ehippers are paying about 4c per lb for good large aheep. Good Iambs are in demand at from 83.25 to $4each; com- mon lambs bring from 82 to 83 each. Fat hoge are plentiful and sell at from 60 to 610 per lb. British Grain Trade. The Mark Lane Express, of the 7th inst., in its weekly review of the British grain trade _says : "The fine, springlike weather of the past week has promoted vegetation. The rains during the latter part of May were not sufficient for oereals and pasturage. The bay and oet crops threaten to be very short, but the next seven weeks may bring the yield of wheat and barley up to the mean. Expectations of full crops have,how- ever, been abandoned. The deliveriea of English wheat during the past month were unexpectedly heavy, averaging nearly 200,- 000 quarters a week. Foreign wheats are depressed and have deeliged la at Hull, though at Londpn they are no cheaper. At Liverpool California wheat is firmer, ad American red winter at Mancheeter is steady. The downward limit of American produce seems to have been reached. America practically controls the trade. In- dia is shipping 200,000 quarters weekly, which is about 50,000 quarters below June, 1891, when prices ranged much higher, the quotations then being 40s per quarter. against 32a per quarter now. The recent sales of flour have been at extremely low rates. The spring grain trade is unsettled. Beans, peas and linseed have declined 0. Corn has advanced 3d."

(By Our Special Correspondent.) MONTRRAL, June 7, 1892. I think that the developments of the past week have proved cattle dealers to be a lot of gamblers,- worse than or equally as bad as any plungers of the grain pit of stock ex- change. Notwithstanding the warning 're- ports from the other side, and the very blue outlook for a successful trade in cattle during the first month, the Weetern drovers went into the country and bought cattle 1 right and left at prices ranging from 5 to 5o. They no doubt thought that expor ers would want cattle to fill the large amount of space they had engaged for the month of May; but there were more cattle iMthe country than they thougbt, and shipaers managed to find over 16,000 head to ship, and they did not touch the distillers either. The large shipments and continued bad markets have evidently frightened those parties, and they are now rushing their • stook into niarket at a great rate and are glad to get half a cent below cost, and, be- fore -another week, will, no doubt, be forced to sell at a cent a pound lees. Cattle which Taost 5c and Mee in the country eix or eight atveeke ago, are noW selling at 442-c aud 5c. The shippers are taking hold freely, but they find it very hard to get space to ship them. While the steamship men were glad to get 50 shillings last week they will no doubt want 70 shillings this week and the advantages of low priced cattle will be lost. The markets on the other side are slightiy better to -day, Liverpool being quoted at 6d notwithstanding the holiday, and States sold in London at 51d, and good Canadians at 6d. The hog market is weak under heavy receipts, 50 being the top price to- day. Sheep move slowly, but lambs are in good demand, The shipments last week were 3848 cattle, and the shipments to date 19,958 cattle and 390 sheep. Dairy Products and Grain. (By our Special Correspondent.) MONTREAL, June 7th, CHEESE. The local cheese market has shown mark- ed signs of weakness during the past week. Lower cables, prospects of a larger make, bigger offerings of white goDds and fears of being caught with two heavy a load were all factors in causing decline. The market is, in fact, unsettled and irregular. Some hold- ers want 9ic for fancy white, but 9g- to no is nearer the idea, some mixed lots being moved at those figures. Colored sold at but a fraction lower would, no doubt, buy a large lot to -day. 2 BUTTER, The butter market is dull and heavy and values rather easy. Most of the offerings consist of fodder creamery, which sells to the local trade at 17ic. No fine creamery 6 bas yet been -offered here, and there has 13 00 been -no export business done of import- %) ance. The supply of Townships dairy is 06 small, and any offering is held steady for 18 17c to 18c. There is not huich Western Do 26 coming forward and the demand from, British Columbia and the Lewer Provinces is sufficient to keep stock e well in hand. Sales of 100 tub lots have been made at 14c., but 14c. to 15c. about the idea. EGGS. The egg market is very weak at 100 to 10ic. The demand tor local consumption is fair, but the receipts are enormous. The packers have taken the surplus stock all along for pickling, but they have now about filled their wants, their vats being nearly all filled. As there are poor i prospects of a successful trade in England, owing to the fact that the eggs coming in are too small for the British markets, there will be no outlet for the over supply, and receivers will have to reduce their figures, especially if the weather is warm.

Rain, rain, rain, and cold weather nearly all the mcnath, was the cause. There was no need for Nice Fine Shoes in such weather. People could not wear them if they had them. So our immense stocks of FINE SHOES still on our shelves. We have got to make up for it in June. We have got to not only do the ordinary June trade, but to make up the shortage on our May sales. We were the losers, but you can now be the winners. The nature of our business requires a certain turn- over every month. During the month of June, it will be a matter of getting money, not - making money. Please to take notice, therefore, that we will continue the sale through June, and that the goods have got to We make it a rule to avoid r3 • carrying goods over from one season to another.
