TROUBLE AMONG THE ORANGEIMetEN The Wingham Advance of this week says: Because of continued splits in the Orange Lodges of North Huron as to where they shall celebrate July 12th each year, and also the fact -that some lodges close to' Wingham seem to prefer to celebrate with any other county but their own, the mem- bers of Wingham L. 0. L. have sent s, communication to the county Mas- ter, requesting to allow them to 'withdraw from the county of North 'Huron. Wingham is so situatedi that they are possibly more convenient to Bruce county, and if they should decide unite with Bruce Orangemen it woulcr only be natural, as at, the present time there are more of these brethren who celebrate with Wingham each year than there are from Huron. -Goderich would, no doubt, take the place of Wingham as it is such a splendid Orange town.( ?)

'There was a light wind, and the waves were not threat- ening when the two left the pier. Some time afterwards, however, the craft was seen to be overturned and a rescue party was immediately or- ganized. E. A.

Anderson:, of, the township of Hay; Mrs. Kilpatrick. ,of the township of Tuckersmith; Mrs. Mason' of Whitechurch, and one son, , AlfredE. Clark.

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, August 17.— One had to go back a long way to find in a Monday market which from point of view of extreme dullness could equal this morn- ing's. A week ago the cattle trade was un- doubtedly slow, but to -day it was about as lifeless as could well be imagined. The poor quality of the offering was largely to blame. There were buyers in search of good killers and the comparatively small lot of cattle carrying fat having been sent over the scales, nobody seemed to have any particular need for anything that remained. The good cattle commanded values steady with last week's dollar: decline. Medium to fair butch- ers were a shade easier than on Thursday last but as for the common killers it was impossible to determine the situation as drovers who got an opportunity to dispose of their poor stuff did so at a sacrifice rather than face the bigger break which is almost certain to come later during the week, when the numbers of common grade killers begin to pile up. The week end shipments were comparatively light, but there were penned over eight hundred head of cattle which fail- ed to find buyers last week, and some bad been hanging around 'the yards since Mon- day. At the close to -day several hundred head of thin stuff remained unsold and there did not appear to be any prospect of an early outlet. Good cows and bulls, and the number was limited, met a fair trade li..t last week's closing values. There was practically no market for the common cows and thin bulls, and bologna bulls were in little request There was no improvement in the stocker trade, farmers -.being still too busy with their crops. The few milkers forward sold at firm prices. Yeah were not only slow but up to a dol- lar weaker for all grades except the very choice calves which dropped half a dollar. Sheep were a fair, steady trade, but lambs were draggy at last Thursday's quotations, the best lambs cashing in up to $13.50. Packer -buyers had offered $18.70 f. o. h. for hogs loaded Saturday. They la not suc- ceed in bringing off the cut antt the light offering cashed in on a slow tnarket at $19.25 f.o.b., which was ThursdV'S price. A weaker trade is almost certain 'later dur- ing the week. Some drovers and farmers are apparently not aware that there is a de- duction of 5 cents per pound on all sows. The receipts, were 127 carloads with 2,654 eattle, 632 calves, 1,580 hogs and 1,890 sheep and lambs.
