THE BRITISH CATTLE MARKET."
John Swan & Son's (Edinburgh) weekly
report, March 26, says:—The restriotions
are quite upsetting trade and ourtailing
supplies, the numbers of fat stook at Edin-
burgh and Glasgow markets being the
smallest on record, numbering something
like 400 cattle and 3,600 sheep, against 1900
cattle and 10,700 sheep in the corresponding
week of last year. There was a fairly good
trade for home cattle, but it has been bad
in the meat markets. Trade is limited to
the local demand. The English markets
on the whole have been bad; accounted for
by the miners' strike. Best beef 7s 9d to
8s, secondary 7s 3d; cows and bulls 5s 3d to
5s es1 per stone; beet mutton 8,1d to 9ad, se-
condary 7d to n per lb.
TORONTO LIVE STOCK MARKETS
Trade was active at the Western Cattle
Market Wednesday, there being a number
of outside buyers present. Nothing has
been done yet in cattle for export, but deal-
ers are begining to look around. The mar.
ket in England has improved slightly with-
in a week or two, steers and maiden heifers
fetching from 11c to Hie per pound, but it
has a week tone under heavy receipts from
the United States. Butchers cattle sold
fairly well at from 3ic to 4ac per lb., an
advatice of fa. Good stockers and feeders
fetch from 3ic to 3ac per lb., with as high
as 4c being paid for extra choice animals.
The demand is fair. Some poorer stuff
sold down to 30 per lb. or lower. Bulls
and rough oxen and cows ranged at from
2ga to Sao per lb, according to quality.
Yearlings sell well at from 5c to 54o per lb.
For extra choice Go would be paid. There
is a fair demand. Sheep are not in too
active demand, but all were well taken be-
fore the close at from 3ic to 4ac per lb.
Good choice mutts)* are in pretty fair re-
quest at from $5.75 to $6 per head.
TAKE TT.—Don't borrow the NEW
ERA any longer, as it is an imposition
oil the subscriber who is paying for it,
and rather than offend you they let
you have it when -they may want
it themselves. A cheaper and better
way is to send 75 cents along and get
the paper regularly at your home for
the balance of 1892. If you are a regu-
lar borrower take the hint arid stop it.

turally dull, in face of such heavy offerings,
and prices ruled lower all round. The ave-
rage price for fairly good cattle was 2;ic to

cattle sold all the way from 4io to 50, but
these were good enough for Easter cattle.

a presentment that if he "got religion" he
would have to drop the law and become a
preacher. His "call" to the ministry thus
preceded his conversion. He was an elo-
quent preacher, and served the church in

ing in Mepitoba, where he died at the age of
forty-eight.
The cry 'that Canadians cannot compete
in the fair field that would be opened up
for them under reciprocity with the States

P. for Lincoln, in a recent speech at Ham- I

when the St. Clair tunnel was built he
tendered for the United States side of it,
took Canadian stone over the border and
paid 40 per cent duty on it, and Canadian
cement, on which he paid a duty of 35 per
cent! How easyit would be for him and
°there like him to extend their business un-
der perfect equality in trade conditions.
Mr Gibaon would double the number of em-
ployee under reciprocity.
