Toronto, Jan. 10 -At the City Cattle Market to -clay there was a good active demand all round and the market kept very firm for the choicest picked lots. Some extra choice picked butchers' cattle sold at $4 30 le $4 50, the latter for one exceptionally choice small lot. One or two single heifers sold at a higher figure but could not be fairly quoted as butch- ers' cattle. They were shippers, but bought for the local butcher trade to fill the demand for something extra choice in that line. The general run of butch- ers' good cattle were selling at $4 (a $4.25, medium butchers' at 83 75 (,h $4. Goers butcher cows were firm at $3.25 (ii' 53 50; medium cows at $3. Export -There were a few lots of fair to medium export cattle offering in to- day's market, but, with the exception of one very choice lot, there was nothing of a really first class quality. The one lot referred to were shipped to Maybes & Wilson and sold e.t $4 00. This is a higher price than it is profitable to buy at on the present export basis, accord- ing to statements made by one or two of the shippers, whose cables tell them of losses on recent purchases of from $3 ee $5 per head. Several fair loads were sold, however, at from 84.05 up to $4 75. There is a steady demand for good feeders and short -keep at $4 re $4 1Ve. Feeding bulls are easier. Steers -Good light smelters are steady. Sheep and Iambs are firm. Hogs -Market is strong and 13c higher than the closing price last week. Best selects, $0.65. The run was 75 carloads.

LOTHROP HOMER WATSON Photo b1 Carbon studio, Toronto. Canada's Great Landicapc Painter. Every great landscape artist is both a poet and 0 painter. The imagination, the intuition, the interpretation, the sympathy, the reverences, the love, kinship and communion with Nature of the poa.t, filtering. through the mind of the artist fled their medium of expression in brush and Colors. Every great painting is a poem iu paint instead of u1 print. One feels this strongly in the presence of Homer Watson's paintings, the put- ting on canvas of a single snood, with detail ever subordinated to the general effect. They are never photographic, but are always strongly individual inter- pretations, 'Whether it be a rough sea with the dancing fisher -floats under a dull, rain -filled 'sky, the white twill catching the high lights with its background of foliage, tile lone rider bent over his horse plodding along a rain -washed road, some noble n • tree braving the elements or his interpretations of 1 monarch forret a 1 n e hsentiment,d rich n s n other moods of nature one alncavi; feels the the richness t s of color, 3 the etmoephere, the glow, the feeling .• all seem parte of a single effect. The dainty daubs of detail characteristic of some painters find no place in Mr, Watson's work • it is ever bold, rugged, broad in treatment, breathing vigor and vitality. Homer Watson was born in the little village of Doon, on (rand Diver, Ont., in 1856, and as a boy at school showed his natural instinct for art when he sur- reptiously drew onhis slate an over -vivid picture of the . strong and peculiar fea- tures of his teacher, which drew upon hien deserved punishment. I3e seemed to turn naturally to landscape work, and his fiist large painting "The Pioneerr Mill,"which appeared. at tile first exhibition of the Royal Canadian Academy was purchased by the Marquis of Lorne, and now hangs in a place of honor in Windsor Castle. ry Mr. rn • inEngland, New Gallery, . Watson has exhibited tthe Academy .n and the cn f t ler a z d a yy, the Now English Art Club, the Ulasgow Institute and at International Exposi- tions, and been honored by one-man exhibitions where thirty or more of his paint- ings were hong together, thus enabling one to study comparatively the range of his worn:, He makes almost annual trips to England, but loves Canada, hes scenes and her people too well to take up permanent residence abroad. It is always dangerous to compare the work of one painter with another as it may carry with it a suggestion of irnitation which would be unjust to one whose work is so in- dividual as Mr. Watson's; but the critics in their appreciation of his paintings couple his name with Corot, Constable, Diaz, Rosseau and Courbet-a noble band of masters with whom Canada's painter may feel honored to be classed.
