Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, June 14.—The early hours of
the morning saw an exulted marke t at
the city cattle market to-dny, when
prices for export cattle seemed for a
time to be running away to the $6 mark.
As a matter of foot $5 90 was offered
for one load of cattle and refused,
The run to -day was 97 loads, with
1,750 head of cattle, 780 sheep and lambs
500 hogs and 500 calves aud light stock-
ers,
Exporters—Market the highest this
season ; top prices, $5,60 to $5 60.
Bute'ners—There was it continuance
to -day of last week's rush for good but-
chers' cattle, and higher prices were
reached. As high as $5 to $5.15 was
paid for choice picked cattle.
Stockers and feeders—good steady
markt for stockers and short keep feed -
ere, with not too many as yet coming
in.
Hogs—The market is quoted by Harris

best selects at $5,10; lights and fats at
$4.85.
The following are the quotations:
All Read Newspapers
"The newspaper which circulates
among the people, all the people, is the
medium in which I advertise my most
expensive carpets and rngs," said a high-
class dealer. "Rich people do not have
papers of their own, but read the most
enterprising. Some of the people who
buy costly goods make you wonder
where they get the money to do it. Any-
how, they do not read the magazines,
but do rend the newspapers. In short,
everybody reads the newspapers."
The Bank of Hamilton.
The thirty-second annual general
meeting of the shareholders of the Bank
of Hamilton will be held at Hamilton on
Monday next. The annual report shows
an exceedingly satisfactory state of af-
fairs. The profits for the year ended
May 31, 1904, after deducting charges of
management and making provision for
bad and doubtful debts, were $335,513..
53. The premium received on new stock
amounted to $195,483. These two items,
with a balance of $70,122.04 at the credit
of profit and loss account, May 30, 1003,
total $601,118.57. From this was de-
clared a dividend of 5 per cent., paid De-
cember 1, 1903, $107,806.75, and a divi-
• dend of 5 per cent., payable June 1, 1904,
$111,230.87; total, $219,037.62. There
were carried to the reserve thud from
the profits $104,517, and carried to the
reserve fund from premium on new
stock, $195,483; total $300.000.
Died at Lucknow.
Mr. Frank Cain, son of Mr. Thos. Cain,
of the Cain hotel, Lucknow, passed a-
way on Saturday evening last after sev-
eral months illness. Deceased young
man was well-known to many of our
readers and was highly respected by a
large circle of friends. About a year
ago he purchased a grocery store at
Lucknow and was building up an excel-
lent trade, but a few months ago was
strioken with appendicitis and after the
operation he gradually sank until the
end came. He leaves a young winow,
father and mother to mourn his loss.
PITH AND POINT.
No grown person should
child.
Any man who has
lithographs printed
show.
The trouble with having a good word
for everybody is that wbeh you pay a
compliment it doesn't count.
We hope we are not lacking in sym-
pathy, but when they tell us that a fat
woman is "delicate" we laugh.
After a man has been engaged three
or four weeks he begins to find oppor-
tunities to take sides in her quarrels.
We don't know what it requires to
become shilful at repartee, unless it
is to think as quick as when the baby
has the croup.
Ever notice how people reach over
the preserves after the pickles? And
how they insist on passing pickles in-
stead of preserves to others?
