Toronto, July 23.â€"â€"Tra.de in all descriptions of cattle was dull at the Western Market to-day, and the vaâ€" lues of exporters declines 10 to 15¢ per cwt. Butchers’ cattle were also lower, and the same may be said of spring lambs. The arrival of cattle amounted to nearly 1,800, made up of a large number of exporters, which were (Bull and slow of salepby reason of the buyers not being willing to oper- ate to any extent. Dealeis did not require cattle for immediate shipment, and hence any they had on hand would have to he kept here at their expense for sever- al days, and they therefore did not transact much business. The outâ€" look in England is for lower prices latest private cable advices stating that although the market there was a little higher earlier in the week than before, yet the prospects were that before the week was out there would be a decline. Exporters have been losing money on their ship- ments since the beginning of the your and are not disposed to run chances of losing any more at present. But- chers’ animals Were likewise down in value, owing to the heavy receipts th’emof and the unwillingness of dealers to take too large a supply on han'd. A large number conse- quently, remained unsold. Export cattleâ€" Per 106 ibs‘. -â€" An D0,, bucks . . . . . . Spring lambs, each Calves, per thm Hogs.â€" Sowsâ€" ......... .

An Ottawa despatch says: The re- turns compiled by the Department of Customs show a considerable exâ€" pansion of trade for the fiscal year ending June 30th. The aggregate foreign trade, which embraces the total imports and total exports 'of domestic and foreign produce, amounted to $467,637,049, an inâ€" crease of $43,750,000 over 1902. Exports of domestic produce for the year totalled $214,401,674, an in- crease of $18,381,911 over the pm.L vious year. The exports of animals and their products and the produce of the farm figures up to $114,441,863, compared with $96,313,897 for 1902. The total amount of Canadian forâ€" est exports was $36,386,015, or an increase for the year of about 84,- 000,000. Exports of manufactured articles amounted to $20,624,967, an increase of $2,161,997. The imâ€" ports on the free list last year, less corn and bullion, amounted to 388,- 023,788, an increase of $10,000,000 over 1902. Canada’s total foreign trade is given at $470,000,000, with 6,000,000 of population. A . Quebec despatch says: Two ‘thousand one hundred and eighty new settlers for the Canadian North- West arrived here by the last ocean steamers from Liverpool, the Lake Manitoba, the Tunisian and the Do- minion. The new settlers comprised a representation of almost every European nation. There were Engâ€" lish and Scotch, Russians, Poland- ers, Russian Poles, of the Jewish persuasion, Finlantlers, Norwegians, Galicians, in their picturesque cosâ€" tumes, Germans, Belgians, etc. Up to the present over 40,000 immi- grants have been landed during the present season at the port of Quebec.

The office for the dead heard daily in the churches was repeated as if Leo XIII. Were neither a visible head of the church nor a sovereign, _ but an ordinary man, from the "Miserere” to the "In Paradisum" and from the “Ingrediar” to the 75 FUNERAL OF THE PONTIFF Impressive Ceremonies Peter’s Cathedral. "Quen admodum Desiderat." There was a solemn office with a requiem chant and Psalm which might have been heard at the burial of the low- liest Catholic; yet here at last, after a three days’ exhibition of a. dead Pope in pontificals and gold mitrc before throngs of scrambling sight- seers, there was something austere and simple, Weird and profoundly impressive to touch the imagination â€"something worthy of the historic basilica and the noble life of the greatest modern Popes. DIMLY LIT SPACES. The vast spaces of St. Peter’s were dimly lighted when the diploâ€" matic corps, the Papal court. and seven hundred invited guests, repreâ€" senting chiefly the old nobility, were admitted. There were two thousand spectators, men in uniform or evenâ€" ing dress and women in black, but they were lost in the shadows of the cathedral. Guards were still watchâ€" ing with halberds and drawn swords beside the dead Pope, and around them. was a radiance of yellow candle light. There was also a misty light in the Chapel of the Choir, and ninety-five gilded lamps were burning around the marble balustrade of the confession of St. Peter. In solemn stillness the apâ€" proach of the long procession from the Hall of Consistory was awaited. It was a mournful file of ecclesiastics and soldiers, trumping slowly into the basilica, but more melancholy than the somer vestments was the sorrowful, sighingâ€"like “Miserere,” echoing far and Wide with unearthly and Weird pathos: When the cardinals in iiieir violet robes, had paid their final tribute of homage and loyal obedience, the cofâ€" (ln was uplifted by she guards, and the procession passed slowly toward the altar, with the l‘i‘liserere as an accompaniment. It was a mediaea 'val spectacle, deeply impressive. Sev- eral hundred men and boys were seen by the light of the flaring torches. ()hoi'isters, ecclesiastics, canons and students were in violet and black, the Noble Guard in red, the gen- darmes in green and the dignitaries of the court in mediaevul costume. The body was carried across the church to the confession of St. Peter Where the Pope had often prayed at midnight by bhe traditional tomb. Here the coffin was lowered to the ground for absolution, and then was carried bacik through the church to the Chapel of the Choir, where the burial office was repeated in the presence of the cardinals and the diplomatic corps. Tradition was followed in almost every detail. Purses containing coins and medals were placed in the coffin, with a parchment record of the pontificate The majordomo drew a silk scarf over the face and hands of the dead, and the coffin was sealed by six great functionaries. THE END OF ALL. DEEPLY IMPRESSIVE SPEC-TAâ€" CLE. When the last requiem was sung, and "I Am the Resurrgction and the Life” had rung out in Latin. the coffin was raised in a sling and slow- ly swung into the niche over the sides of the 'door, the lights disap- pearing on the altar from stage 'to stage, until the last one Was extin- guished. The last function was per- formed by the masons, who bricked up the opening and set a marble plate with the name “Leo X111" in front of the sarcophagus About thirtyâ€"two car'dinals were present, Cardinal Gibbons not being among them. It Was a. unique mod- iaeval ceremonial. in a temple con- secrated to traditions and mysteries, but the music was the most impresâ€" sive feature and saddened the heart of the most joyous spectator. A Winnipeg despatch says :â€"Home- stead entries made in the Canadian Northwest for the year ending June 80, 1903, number 31,002. as com- pared with 14,289 for the year endâ€" ing June 30, 1902, an increase of 16,713. These figures speak elo- quently of the development of west- ern Canada. The figures for June 1903, show 6,644 entries, compared with 3,349 for the corresponding month of last year, an increase of 1,295. These latter figures prove that, there is nekdecrease in the tide of immigration which is flowing into the country. Over 31 ,000 Many People Believed to Have Suffered Déath. A Tuscan, Ariz., despatch' says 2â€"- A terrific tornado visited Tombstone and Fairbank Wedne§day night, and it is thought many must have per- isb'ed. Wires are all down, and the first reports have just reaohtd here. When the storm subsided Fairbank was under six feet of Water. The inhabitants fled to the hillside in the valley below and above Fair- hmfl; Several ranchâ€"houses were bah! demolished TORNADO IN ARIZONA. HOMESTEAD ENTRIES. Were Recorded Last Year King Gave $5,000 to the Poor of the City. A Dublin despatch says: King Ed- ward and Queen Alexandra left Dub- lin at noon on Saturday to visit the Marquis and Marchioness of London- derry at Mount Stewart, Newtown- ards. County Down. They halted on their Way to the railway station to review thousands of children who had assembled in Phoenix Park. Al- though it was raining at the time their Majesties used an open carri- age. The streets were lined six deep with spectators. The enthusi- asm which has heretofore been dis- played was fully maintainetli Be- fore leaving here King Edward gave £1,000, which is to be distributed among the poor of Dublin. The King and Queen had a rousing wel~ come at Newtownards. Later they took an automobile to Portaicrry, where they crossed Strangford Lough aboard the gunboat Hebe and visited Lord De Ros, the oldest peer in the realm. Although the district is strongly Nationalist, the people gave their Majesties a. most hearty Ireception, DEATH OF MRS. J. J. FOY. Fell Overboard From the Steamer Macassa. A Toronto despatch says: Mrs. J. J. Foy, wife of the member for South Toronto in the local Legisla- ture, fell oll the deck of the steamer Macassa on Thursday afternoon, near Oakville, and although she was al- most immodiately rescued. died a few minutes afterwards. Exactly how the accident occurred is now known, as no one was in the immediate viâ€" cinity of Mrs. Foy at. the time. Sud- denly, however. someone cried, "A woman overboard,” and then a lifeâ€" boat was quickly lowered, the en- gines were stopped, and the lady picked up. Attempt to Rob Bank of Com- merce at Carman, Man. A Winnipeg, Man, dcspatch says: An attempt was made on Wednesday morning, about 1.45 o‘clock, to burglarize the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Carmen. Mr. E. B. K. Watson, assistant clerk. sleeps in the bank on a. stretcher in the man- ager's office. He was awakened by the opening of a trap door com- municating with the cellar, and grabbing his revolver hurried to the accounting room in time .to see a man raise the trap, Watson fired at the intruder, and the bullet struck the floor, a. little to one side. The burglar returned the fire, but fortu- nately missed his mark. Watson next raised the trap and started down the cellar stairs for his man, when he was again shot at by the desperado, but again came off with- out harm. Without considering his danger he still advanced in the di- rection of the retreating burglar and got two more shots at him, as he made his escape by an outside stair from the Cellar, but again missed him. A London despatch says: The cur- rent meetings of the British Sani- tary Institute, composed of scien- tists, Mayors, councilors, and of- ficials from all parts of the country, have called public attention to the fact that since public health became a. science at the beginning of the late Queen’s reign the average life of a. man has been increased by three years, and that of a. woman by five years. To-day there are more than 600,000 persons living in this country who, had they been born before the science of public health was knOWn, Would have died before they were a. year old. There is no clue to the person or persons that attempted the robbery, but they evidently must have known the surroundings pretty well. The entranCe was made by an outside door to the cellar. Mr. Butler, of the electric light company, heard the shots, and was in time to see three men jump into a rig a few blocks cast of the bank and make off south. The affair has startled business men here, as so far Carman has been free from burglars. ROYALTY LEAVES DUBLIN . The Result of Modern Science in Britain. The Prussian Ministry has decided to devote $2,500,000 to the relief of the sufferers from the Silesian floods. DUEL WITH ‘A BURGLAR. 600,000 LIVES SAVED. The choice of the sire is perhaps the most important step in all breed- ing operations, says the Live Stocl Commissioner. Mr. F. \V. Hudson. The trite remark that “the sire it half the herd" is only part of the truth. He is much more than hall of the herd, because, of the parents. he usually exerts the greater inflw ence on the conformation of the 011 spring. This, of course, is true only. when he is the more intensely bred. It is not enough that he be pure- bred; it is important that he come- of a. line of ancestry remarkable for uniformity and individual merit. If- he be the chance result of a lino oi: indiscriminate breeding, he is not likely to prove an impressive sire. His stock can scarcely fail to be very: irregular in type. This point can. not well be overemphnsizod, for it is} just here that the novice in breed“ ing is most apt to make mistakes. It, is a. too common practice to select ‘ and buy breeding stock from among- the winners at our exhibitions, tak-- ing care only to stipulate that they be eligible for registration. Fro-- quently a. phenomenal sliowyard uni-- mal is MISTAKES IN BREEDINE "scrub" in point of breeding, and» can reproduce his good qualities only' by accident. It is unfortunately true that a certificate of registration is not always a certificate of merit. Thu only safe way to select breeding stock is to visit the longâ€"established- herd of some breeder of repute, and buy after seeing the sire and dam, and if possible, the grand-sire and: granddam of the animal selected. Choose a hog from a large even lit.- ter; fecundity is an hereditary trait,‘ ‘and it. is essentigl to profitable hog? raising; and the ,evcnness of the lit- ter is a valuable'guaranty of the ex- cellence of his breeding, and of hil~ consequent prepotency. and even though he be registered in the herd book, is none the less a THE SIRE IS MUCH MORE THAN HALF OF THE HERD. Certificate of Registration Is NotL Always One of Merit. The ofispring of immature parcntr should seldom or never be used for breeding purposes. They are apt t( be lacking in constitution and vigor} this is especially the case with UN oflspring of an immature dam. Few- things will more quickly lead to thl deterioration of a. herd in size, vigor and fecundity than the continued use of immature females. In conformation the boar not only must be of the approved bacon type. but must, have the distinct and um mistakable masculinity of appear-v ance which is easily recognized but NOT EASILY DESCRIBED. Masculinity does not necessarily im- ply undue coarseness; it consists3 rather in a bold, fearless, “come on, who’s afraid” expression of counten~ ance than in any peculiarity of con- formation. A certain amount of coarseness is unavoidable, especially. in an aged bear, “but he must not' have such excessive roughness as would indicate poor feeding quali-- ties, nor is it desirable that he be of extreme size. Mr. Sanders Spen- cer, the noted English breeder, says- on this point:-â€" “Although some persons make mere size a great point when choosing a hear, our ex-» perience leads us to consider this to be a mistake; a very large boar sel- dom lasts long; he becomes too heavy for the sows; he probably proves to be slow. and his litters. few and small in numbers. A very large and heavy bear is also more likely to suffer from weakness of the spine or hind quarters, and he is fun quently Weak in his joints and. crooked-legged. These latter failings should be specially avoided. as they are hereditary and Will frequently crop up for several generations. Weakness of ankles and roundness of boneâ€" two qualities which should be avoided in a sireâ€"are often allied with great size.
