Trustee R. A. Douglass introduced the
matter of a competition among school
children at the Wingham fall fair and
outlined a scheme which the Agricultur-
al Society proposed to go into. The co-
operation of neighboring school sections
and township councils will be enlisted
and they will be asked to make a dona-
tion toward the money to be raised for
the prizes, the Society, of course, sup-
plementing what is donated in this way.
Three prizes would be given, and the
competition would be along educative
lines, such as exhibits of Canadian
woods or Canadian leaves,nicely mount-
ed. The prizes given would go to the
school and not, to any one individual.
The scheme is worthy of consideration,
and the Board will deal with it at their
next meeting.

Alva Stock Markets.
Toronto, April 14.,. --There was a good
rim of cattle at the live stoelt market to-
day. Business was good, in spite of the
very unfavorable weather conditioils
which prevailed. The storm, however,
did not adversely affect the demand,
whioh was good, both for export cattle
and for butchers' cattle, Had there not
been a rather heavy ruu prices would
probably have been nipoh firmer than
they were, As it was, a little higher
prices were paid for export .cattle and for
the choicest butohers than were paid last
week. There were some good cattle offer- •
rug, for whioh high prices ('were asked,
and in one or two oases paid, though not
perhaps quite so high as worn asked.
Buyers of export cattle were a little
cautious, owing to the fart that cables
from Englaud showed that prices were a
little off.
In the local butcher market, there was
a fair demand for all good cattle, at
prices generally steady, with, for any-
thing very choice, perhaps a little firm-
er tone.
There was a fair -demand for good feed-
ers and stockers. Heavy feeders sold at
$4.40 to $4.00.
Light stockers, from 500 pounds, at
x$3.50. to $3.75. The sheep and lamb trade
was dull,
There was a big run of calves con- •
- a
toir Company.
There was not a very heavy run of
hogs, and prices were a little better, the , •
