Live Stock Market. .
Toronto, Jan, 22m1. -Union Stock
Yards, West Toronto -Receipts ' for
to -day were '152, cars, with 2,681
head of cattle, 33 calves, 1,860 hogs,
833 shepp and lambs, and 122' hot -
Sea.
Market was, good and strong for
anything of decent equality and good
weight. A load of cattle was sold
as high. as $6.85, and quite a few
loads at from $6.25 to $8.75,, But
while . the market holds very firm,
and with; a tendency to higher pric-
es for good to choice butcher cattiie,
in fact the heavier the better, there
is a decidedly draggy feeling as re-
gards the large receipts of light
poorly fed 'cache, with which the
nnarket seems to be too heavily
loaded, Shippers ' might do well 0
they could withhold for a time some
of these unfinished catPle, as there
is no doubt but that those are do-
ing considerable to hurt the market
at rho present' trine.
Lambs were selling ;firm, and in
some cases 20c. to 25e highet thae.
last, week, a few lambs selling at
$7.50 and even, $7.75.
Sheep steady to firm at $4 to
$4.

As an indication of the strength of
,the market, it is understood that
several of the largest distillery' cat-
tle feeders have already disposed of
their winter fed cattle to Local ab-
attoirs at very .high figures. Mr.
John Sheridan sold, it is stated at

I think
I

many .,years my. home has been in
Brum M n�$, Something Minese , C)nt. tiomotng over a
year ago -my. son and daughter, then
tin her sixteenth year, left for the
west. Waren leaving, here my daugh-
ter was in the best of hsaltti, but in
the fo,lowing spring she was steak -
en with what, the doctor said was the
flarnnhatory rheumatism in its worst
form. Atter 'a few wee.s she' was
able to get up, but Tier hands and
limbs were se, swollen that she could
not dress herself. She continued ;en
this way Inc seine time, and there a
second attack, worse than the first,
set in, and my son telegraphed, me,
as she was very low. Wilier I was
gettingrready to make the trip of
eighteen hundred!' miles 1 got a se-
condmessage to conic at once, as
they feared she could not live.
When .I reached her T found her ev-
en worse than I, had expected. S11e
was so weals and omaciat-d that. I
would not have kuown her, and she
eould only speak in a whisper. Her
hands and fingers were all twisted
and her 1' mbs swollen to twice their
• , natural ,size. The doctor had ellen
been attending' her for two months,
and she seemed steadily growing
worse. We did not dare move her
in bed for lear.of her heart giving
out. She was as pale as a corpse,
and her lips and face were always cold.
We had to ten her continually, and
o if we ceased even for a little while
- she' would gasp Inc breath, and no
one who saw her thought it possible
she could get better. She suffered
such pain , that I used to go out or
the room and put my fire ors in my
ears to shut out her 'gasping and
moaning. I had known before of
Dr.' Williams' Pink Pills, and as we
could gradually see her sinking I
told my son I was going to give
her the Pills.' He was opposed to
my idea for 110 thought a change, in
medicine might prove fatal.
However, 4t was finally decided
to give her the Pills. In a week's
time she showed sone impeavement
and felt like eating, From that
tune slie began eo gain steadily.
Gradually i fingers her }ands and be-
came straight, the swelling in the
limbs went vet down, and her heart-
beats became regular, and the color

cure was complete. She is now as
strong and healthy as any girl of
her age, and to 'see her you would
never think she had passed through
an illness hoop which none of her
friends thought she could recover.
You have my sincerest thinks for
what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
