• There was open rebellion at the
market, this morning' ',Loud denun-
ciation of the "been trust" and of
%he pass that things were coming
in,, were to be heard on all shies,
and that of meetings held and to
be held at which to voice the gen-
eral indignation felt. In the mean-
time, 'while there was not a com-
plete deadlock to business, there was
some t approach to that condition
for but 'about a third of the • day's
receipts were disposed of at the
noon hour.
The trouble arose from the an-
nouncement as .published in The
Sear last week, that commencing to-
day, the Toronto Abbttior Compan-
ies would put into force a new re.
gulatien, under which a deduction in
the price paid for Cattle subsequenfly
-condemned by the Government In-
spector should be made at the toll-
owiriAs rates t C'attle over Ole. per
Ib, 20c,' per head ; cattle under aim.
50. per head.
Against this edict, the drovera and
larmers enter a most vigorous pro'.
tett, declaring they will not sub-
mit to it, that it as an unjust im-
position, and further that it is, the
entering in of the thin edge ot the
'wedge, as a prelude to still further
eXactions, or in the words of one
of the most prominent dealers' in the
market, "Just a commencement of
theoperations in Canada of the
Beef Trust."
Of course -the representatives of the
sitlierent local abattoirs declare there
is no "trust," but that the propos-
ed regulation is just a mutual agree-
ment for the 'protection of 'buyers
, from the whole of the loss ,in Ton-
• g/mimed cattle.
Trust or no trust, drovers held
out, refusing to sell their cattle me
.der the new rule. .
There were. however, a number of
transactions among the indepene-
suits, in rnost cases ?tie cattle being
'bought for outside points, and net
gubject, to the regulation.
Prices were steady to firm at last
'week's quotations.

Strong Words of Praise.
Mrs. (Reiv.) W. II. Clarke, Stirling,
Ont., writes 1-"I wish to give this
unsolicited testimonial to the great
value of Baby'S Own Tablets. Our
little girl, born last Feburary was at
first very constipated,. When, -other
remedies failed we tried the -Tablets
and ift a week she was completely
cured. By. the use of the Tablets
she has been kept well and happy
ever since." 1,6 is strong praise
,
like this that has made 13aby's OWn
Tablets so popular. Thousands -of
other mothers have said c -“Once
we gave the Tablets a trial we had
nothing but praise for them ." The
Tablets are sold 'by medicine dealers

The Days are Getting Longer
The year 06, 1911, the 225 of Decem-
ber, was the shortest day, although the
235 Was only a fraction of it minute
longer. The date of the simaest day
depends on when the sun reaches the
winter solstice, Whiell is its fiutheSt
point from the equator of the earth.
Since the autumnal equinox, 06 000100
the days have been . shorter than the
nights. They continue to shorten until
the 225 of Decembee, and then about

if the sun reached the winter solstice at

Rev. R. Hobbs May Stay
. m Exeter
Exeter, January 8th. -Rev, Richard
Hobbs may remain pastor of James
Street Methodist Church atter all. As
a result of a difference ivith the quar-
terly board, lie reeigned his pulpit, and
last Sunday preached what were to
have been farewell sermons. Yester-
day, however, the president of the coil-
ference poured oil on the troubled wet -
Ens, and publicly asked Mr, Hobbs to
'AT-Tee:Dr. R. S. Warner, president ot
London Col-Am:mice, occupied the put -
pi tlothmorni ng and evening, and also
addressed the Sunday school in du'
re-Ms/noon. Dr. Warner's able ancl in-
spiring', and very (timely sermons and
address, will long be remembered by
the large congregations which gveeted
him. The following condensed state -
men is,reatt by hi in to the congregation,
both morning and evening, explain th
occasion of his visit to James Street
Church at this time:
"T. have received the resignation of
Rev: Mr. Hobbs as pastor of this con-
gregation. There axe reasonsfor ink lug
SO 8001005 (0 step. Since the resigoation
reached me, some of these reasons havo
been removed, either in fact by the ver-
dict of the congregation, 0) 011 respoosi
bility to the congregation. This seems
to ole 10 1(800 greatl y relieved the situa-
tion, and in my judgment makes it pos-
sible for Mn Hobbs to resume his pastor-
ate at once. and as president of the
conference I ask him to do so.
" Under the ei inunistati cos now exist-
ing 3' cannot accept Mr. Hobbs' resigna-
tion. Such a situ ad on is too fah of peril
to this important ,church, is too full
of possible wrong to one of' the best
beloved and useful ministers of our
church."
