The butchers name ont in full foroe, although the snow storth made things rather die. agreeable around the cattle yards. Owing to the excessive supply of good cattle prices were decidedly lower than on last week's market. Extra cattle for Easter .market sold at from 4ad"to 4io per Ib; prime beeves at from 40 to 44o. Pretty good animals brought from 34c to nearly 4o per lb; oom- mon stock from tic to 3c per pound. The beet calves seem to have been bought up before reaching this market; prices here to- day were from $2 to $8 each. Good old sheep sold at from 4o to 4 i per lb.; year- lings at from 5o to 5io, and spring lambs at from $2 to $4.5o each.

One farmer will sow thirty acres of hemp. Seeds of abutilon and ramie plants are to be distributed, and the Oregon Railway will make a test of cotton. The abutilon has a fibre running through the whole length of its six feet of annual growth, and is said to be superior to Indian jnte in strength and dyeing finali- ties. Why should not Ontario farmers ex- periment`with hemp and abutilon? Wheat Afloat By the end of the ooming week it is es- timated that over ten million bushels of grain will be afloat from Chicago. Retail shipments during last week of wheat alone are said to have agregated 1,450,000 bush- els. In the Chicago river and harbor and in the Calumet were 142 vessels composing the winter grain fleet of the city. These vessels had on board 12,086,000 bushels of grain—the greatest consignment for one season ever known. The Cattle Trade Canadian cattle shippers are likely to find a new competitor in the foreign mar- kets shortly unless they bestir themselves. Of late years they have gradually lost ground in the British market, where they have have bad keen competition from the Argentine Republic. In New York and other Eastern states they foand a market nearer home, and now this also is to have further competition. Farmers in South- ern Georgia have abanddned their orops and are going in for cattle raising on a large scale. In eight months they have shipped to Texas and the Indian Territory 65,000 head of cattle. Much of this stook has been slaughtered and reshipped to the Eastern states at great profit to to West- ern men. The Georgian ehippere propose to save this by shipping direct to the North Eastern states, the Canadian mar- kets. They are sure to fiat the preference and Canadians must expect to keep wide awake. an ingenious Slanderer The fallowing is from the Hamilton Times. While it is not absolutely correct, it is of sufficient interest to be good reading: • — The Nor'Wester, of Winnipeg, whioh pursues Hon. Mr Greenway with speoial and personal malignity, politically and otherwise, devotes two columns to an in- geniously false story of bis Ontario politi- cal oareer and how he came to leave the Conservative party.' An extract from it will show its oharaoter. After telling of his defeat as a Conservative candidate in South Huron, then a Liberal stronghold, and of Mr Cameron's illness preventing that gentleman's accepting a renomination, the Nor'Wester spine a yarn to the effeot that Mr Greenway entered into a seoret agreement with the Liberals. It says:— "While ays:"While holding the Conservative nom- ination, therefore, he entered into a seoret agreement with the Reform leaders that, if he were allowed to be returned unop- posed, he would support Mr ¥aokenzie'e (government when elected. In order that the Conservatives might not suspect the existence of his villainous plot and replace Mr Greenway as their candidate with a loyal and honorable Conservative, the Grits pretended that they intended to bring out a candidate, and a well-known Reformer was mentioned as their candidate when the day of nomination should arrive. On nomination day, Mr Greenway was duly nominated by the unsuspecting Conserva- tives. The Grits were apparently busy preparing the nomination paper for their candidate. At the last moment, the Grits failed to file their nomination paper, and Mr Greenway was declared eleoted by ao- olanaation. It was only then, when too late, that the Conservatives realized how basely they had been betrayed; and Mr Greenway had to make himself scarce in, the village of Varna, where the nomina• tion washeld, in order to escape the con- aequennes of their indignation. Mr Green. way, however, felt sate, when at a con- venient distance from rotten eggs, in laughing at his dupes, for be had secured a seat in Parliament. It was on the 11th of February, 1875, that his treachery was consummated by his election; and he im• mediately went down to Ottawa, where Parliament, which had assembled on the 4th of the same month, was in session and took his seat as a supporter of Mr Macken- zie, whore he continued to support until that Parliament was dissolved. Mr Green- ey'S treachery was not so profitable, how- ever, as he had anticipated. Feelings against him was so strong in his conetitu- enoy that he dare not run again" A pretty story, but lacking the element of truth. Mr Greenway had run as a Con- servative candidate and had been defeated —as any Conservative should have been defeated. It will be borne in mind that Before that time protection was not an issue between the parties. Sir John A. Macdonald or Sir Charles Tapper would have indignantly repudiated the idea that they were tainted with the heresy. Though he was a Conservative by training and affiliation, Mr Greenway was an open and avowed advocate of the British fisoal sys- tem, and he made no secret of his views. When Mr Cameron's illness prevented that gentleman from contesting the riding the Liberals considered the question, and hav- ing in view Mr Greonway's life-long opin- ions and the trend of events at Ottawa they decided to offer him no opposition. He was nominated and elected al. much by the Liberals as by the Conservatives, and although he voted with the Conservatives on questions of general policy, and by so doing gave great satisfaction to the South Huron Conservatives, when Sir John made his great flop and blossomed out a full- blown trade restrictioniet. Mr Greenway refused to stultify himself, break faith with the majority to whom he owed his election, and trample on the principles which he had always supported: He voted against the protection reeolutione, and im- mediately a few narrow-minded and Con- servatives in Exeter met and adopting the style of the Tooley street tailors called on him, in the name of the electors of South Huron, to resign. Of course Mr Greenway did not resign; but he pointed out k. those impertinent nobodies that he represented South Huron, Liberals as well as Conser- vatives; that be was supporting the prin- ciples that he was elected to uphold; that the Consevative leader, not he, was viola- ting his prinoiples and betraying the peo- ple's trust, and that he did not recognize the right of the clique "resolving" to is - mend his resignation. No such incident as that hinted about at Varna ever occur- red, although some of the more bitter Con- servatives did a lot of shouting, and even resorted to business,persecation to injure him. Even the death of hie wife by small- pox, the contagion being carried from Ot- tawa, was made the subject of ghoulish and indecent jests aimed at the sorrowing husband—jests the recollection of whose brutality even yet rejoices the gentle Nor'- Wester'e heart. Mr Greenway did not run again, but that be did not was not because he feared defeat. The Liberal party in South Huron could have eleoted anybody it chose to nominate, and Mr Greenwaj had thous- ands of the best Conservatives with him too. The nomination was tendered him, and regretfully declined, he having decided on making Manitoba his home. He oar- ried on a Large emigration business for a time, and then took up his residence in the prairie province with which hie name has become so intimately associated. Mr Greenway will be honored in South Huron and in Manitoba when the name of "the Nor' -Wester is only a bad memory. Reports from Quebec state that His Em- inenoe Cardinal Tasohereau is so ill that no hope of his recovery is entertained. The last rites of the church have been adminie• tared.
