Lave Stock 3arket4, Toronto, Aug. 4. -The market at the city stock yards'to•day was quie t, but the prices were firm. Seventy-three cars of live stock arrived, but many of the cattle were late in. arriving. The re- ceipts were made up as follows; 1,091 cattle, 2,075 sheep, 574 hogs and 24 calves. Notwithstaddiug the drenching and steadily pouring rain this morningbusi- uess was brisk at the Unionstock yards. At 10,30 there were in the yards about 2,400 cattle, 400 sheep and G0 hogs. Ono hundred and fourteen car loads were in, and 11 more loads were expected in im- mediately after. Mr. Hodgson estimated that nearly 150 carloads would be in be- fore the market closed, Five or six loads went to the Western cattle mar- ket, which were billed for the Junction yards. Many of the drovers say that they used the C. P. R. in preference to the Grand Trunk this week in carrying their stock. A big crowd of buyers was out, and notwithstanding the rain the stock was nearly all bought up. The quality of the cattle this morning was very good and prices were firm, Tuesday has been established as the big day of the Union stock yards,.

And yet that paper opposes a bargain by which for an outlay of jest about the same sum -thir- teen millions in exact figures -a railway will be built, equipped, and operated be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific. Occasionally, when we are feeling par- ticularly sad about the hopeless corrup- tion: of politics in Canada, it may do us good to look at the investigation in Shrewsbury, England, which ended a fortnight ago. In the last election there 204 electors out of 770 who voted in one ward received bribes. There are few •Canadian constituencies in which such wholesale bribery could be practiced. A special committee of the Commons will recommend to Parliament the en• actment of a law providing for compul- sory voting at Dominion elections. Any qualified elector who fails to make use of his franchise will forfeit the right to .vote at the next succeeding general elec- tion. "This,"says John Charlton, "will fix the man who sits on a rail fence and waits for a consideration before polling his vote." The industrial figures published .by the Provincial Department of labor, with their statement that between 100 and 120 new industries have been start- ed in Ontario during. the past year, il- Iustrates the intensity of the present activity. They also illustrate the move- ment of industries back to the small towns. The day of the local factory serving a small district has gone. The advantages offered by a small town, as the site for a large factory, are coming into recognition. --Toronto News. 3 00 5 30 16 0 yr-.n :!!•••••••••003•••!!••••N••N••••••••• NDN 00 1 Exporters' cattle - heavy Light Bulla do., light Feeders Stockers Butchers' Choice Ittedium, Picked Bulls Rough Hogs - Best Lights Sheep - Export Bucks Culls Spring Lambs.. Calves, each Bountiful Crops. Although a failure in crops, has not been known in this section for many years the harvests this year are par- ticularly bountiful and the return will be larger than ever in the last two or three years of good crops. Fall wheat is generally cut in thio district and is well filled up with heavy heads and good straw, and many fields will run 35 and 40 bushels to the acre. Oats are a particu- larly bountiful crop and there are a good many fields combined oats and barley which our farmers frequeutly sow for feed. It will go as high as 70 bushels to the acre. Most of the hay is cut and 0 saved and it is a heavy crop. The corn, which on account of cool weather, it was 3 I feared would be light, has picked up wonderfully and in the majority of cases will be a heavy yield. The occasional rains have kept up the pasture well and there is a splendid growth of after grass. THE PEOPLE'S POPULAR STORE JOHN �eT JAS.

The Hanover Post of July 23rd thus refers to the marriage of a former resi- dent of Wingham:-"The ubiquitous little chap "Cupid" with his bow and arrows has been getting in some telling workin this neighborhood of late. At high noon yesterday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Sutton a cere- mony was performed which united the lives of Mr. William Lamont, a young Hanover man, and Miss Mamie Sutton. The bride was daintily attired in white silk and looked particularly charming. She was assisted by her town friends, Kiss Ida May Knechtel and Miss Sarah Schaefer. The groom was ably support- ed by Mr. Frank Gottwals of Washing- ton, D. O., and the bride's brother, Mr. Frank Sutton of Harriston. Rev. J. E. Howell, M. A., pastor of the Methodist church, was the officiating clergyman. Only the intimate friends of the con- traoting parties were present. When the young couple had been warmly con- gratulated after the ceremony the party sat down to a fine dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Lamont took the afternoon train south on their honeymoon trip which will be spent at Wingham, Listowel, Toronto and Niagara. The Post offers its con- gratulations. Fall Fairs -Improve.
