"That there were, and are., ledi-

for- an adjdetment of the Liberian
debt and the placing of United States
officials in charge of Liberian cus-
toms. In 1910, the Ainerteaa Gov.

Liberia was established, and the
United States designated trained mil-
itary °dicers to organize this force.
In. 1&12, Liberia had trouble with
Ger any, growing out of a quarrel
betwieen, German merchants and the
prestdeat of the republic. Two Ger-
man gunboat's forced an apeiogy,
sad the president retaliated by grant-
ing erivilegee to English traders, in
1913 which were more favorable
than those enjoyed by the Germans.
mbl country is rather remarkable
for its flora and fauna. There is one
speeme of tree that grows tn a height
of 200 feet, and 22 species of trees,
shrubs, and vines that produce rub-
ber, Among the animals encounter-
ed in the wild districts are the pigmy
hippopotamus, the bay-thighed Diana

The Government of Liberia is
modeled after that of the United
States,. The president is elected for
, four years, and there is a congress,
made up of eight senators 'anti thir-
teen representatives. Judical
system consists 'of local: magistratem
courts of common pleas, quarterly
courts, and a supreme wart. Many
of the presidents of the republic
have been former slaves in, 'America.
Admiral "Fighting Bob" Evans in
one of his Woks tells the story of
having visited the Liberian, "White
House" for a cereMonial call, in the
eouraepf which, having been born in
Virginia, he, in. a raomene of revert-
ing to type, addressed the wife of the
'president as "Auntie." The presi-
dent thereupon inquired whet part of
the South he was from. He replied
that he was from Floyd County, Vir-
ginia, and the president confessed
that he was born in Dinwiddie Coun-
ty nearby.

'Montreal, November,20th .-At the
Montreal stock yards, vest end mar -
et) 'owing to liberal supplies of. cat-
tle offered today, a weaker feeling
prevailed, prices generally scoring a
decline of 25 cents per 100 lbs. The
qaulity of the stock was indifferent,
good to choice steers and heifers be-
ing limited, while the , lower, ,grades
were plentiful andisemewliat in excess
of the requirements; of the trade. A
few choice steers seld at $10, good eat
$9.25 to $9.50; good heifers brought
from $9,25 to $9.601per 100 lbs. The
top prices paid for choice butcher
cows were $7.50 to $7.75, and choice
bulls sold at $7',75 to $8 per 100 lbs.
° The feature of the market for small
meats was the stronger feeling in
lambs. Priceseadvanced 25 cents to
50 cents per 100 lbs. The supply was
fairly large, :there being about 3,000
head offered, but as the demand was
much better than last week an active
trade was done, with sales of round
lots of Ontario stock at $15.50 to
$15.75, and Quebec at $14.50 to 14.75
per 100 pounds.
There was no change in sheep con-
ditions, ,prices being firm with a
steady demand for all offerings.
The trade in calvss was fair and
prices were fully maintained for good
to choice milk -fed .stock.
The tone of the market for hogs
was stronger and prices scored a fur-
ther advance of 25 cents per- 100
pohnds, which was attributed to the
recent streegth at other Canadian
centres, and to -day's rether small of-
ferings for which there was a good
demand. A fairly active trade was
done in selected -lots at 17.50 to $18;
sows at $14.50 to $15, and, stags at
$12.50 to $13 per 100 pounds, weighed
