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,.

According to the Mail and Empire, the
people of Canada paid $12,000,000 for the
construction of the C.P.R. between Win-
nipeg and. Port Arthur. 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.

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.

Marriage of a Former Wingham
Young Man.
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.
