was, hovtever, quite conscious until the

Ontario friends in the West, prior to his

is still a scarcity of really choice cattle,
there being only one load of such offered,
which cost in Toronto 4e. per pound, and
the holder was asking 4to but up to a late
hour no sale had been made at thia figure. A
few shippers were present, and wanted some
stock to make up shipments, but there wars
nothing suitable offered. Considering the
stets of the markets abroad, shippers were
not disposed to pay high prices, about 4o
being the limit, and no business was done
in thia line. The attendance of butchers
was large, however, and the demand from
them was goOffa Trade on the whole was
fairly active, and prices ruled steady. The
supply was large, but. not in excess of re-
quirements. Choice beeves sold at 4o to
4ao, good at 3to to ne, fair at ale to ne,
common at 2to to 2te, and inferior at 2e to
2to per lb. There was an easier feeling in
the market for sheep again to -6,y, and the
outside figure shippers would pay was 3c for
choice stock. The receipts were small, and
only a few email lots were purchased at the
above prices, and the culls sold at $2 to $3
each. The demand for iambi was good,and
the offerings small. Prices ruled higher at
$2.50 to $3.75 eaoh, as to elm Calves met

When Queens Reign -
It is a singular historic fact that the reign
of every, Queen in modem times has been at.
tended 'by a wonderful advancement in the
material, political, literary, and even milit-
ary progress of her country. The reign of
Catherine the Great witnessed the widlest
extension of the Russian Empire that had
been known up to her time. The reign of
Maria Therm was a period of plosperity for
Austro-Hungary, in spite cif" The &sten
Years' War, while the reigea of Elizabeth
and Anne, in English history were ages of
glory in letters, art, and war, and that of
Mary might have been but for the unlucky
foreign alliance she formed with Phillip of
*Spin. Great Britain has never seen 'such
an age as that ot Victoria, and perhaps will
net for centuries. The presence of a Queen
on the throne as sovereign seems to inspire
all the poetry and eiiva1ryth� is in the
nature of man, and rhaps) fact fur-
nishes an adequate exjplan4

Canada's Greatest Celebration of
the Jubilee Year. NEXT TO 0. W PAPST'S BOOKSTORE. •
Fully alive to the times, the management
of the Toronto, Exhibition, or as the title
runs this year, "Canada's Great Victorian -
Era Exposition and Industrail Fair," is to
be sconducted on a scale, from August 30th
to September llth, that will even transcend
any former effort made to promote this, the
most popular, most comprehensive and meat
attractive aneual show held on this con-
tinent. Already a sufficient number of 'ap-
plications for iipace and of notifications of
entries have been received to warrant the
highest expeetations. The management
have increased the number of medabs to be
awarded and have made many improve-
ments to the buildings and grounds, show-
ing that they are resolved to leave nothing
undone that will enhance the pleasure an• d
comfort of both patrons and exhibitors.
They have also determined on a special
feature that promises to prove the greatest
outdoor spectaeleein the way of entertain-
ment that Toronto or any other city has
ever known, outside the world's metropolis
• itself. This spectacle will take the form of
a reproduction of the wondrous Diamond
Jubilee procession in, London. Agents are
now across the water hiring and buying the
necessary properties - and costumes, which
will be an exact replica of the uniforms and
costumes worn by the soldiery, the sailors,
the nobility and the yeomen of the guard
in the magnificent procession. Scenes will
also be reproduced of the ceremonies at
Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral,
and other places along the line of route.
Many interesting specialties will also be
-introduced, while at night the effect will be
heightened and magnified by brilliant
illuminations and fireworks. Not only will
spectators -hay° brought home to them the
grandeur and :unity of the empire, but they
• will be practically take home to Old Lon-
don. While dwelling on this grand feature
the material aspect of the Exhibition must
not be lost sight of, therefore it is well to
mention that 'entries of live stook, and the.
majority of the departments, close on
Saturday, August 7th. Programmes con-
taining all details of the attractions will be
issued about the 10th of August.
