Considerable numbers of poorly-finished and half- grown Eastern stockers. feeders, and' light butchers’ were offered, and it was in these that trade manifested its greatest dulness. A few buyers of this class of cattle, however, were on the market, and consequently. though sales were slow to effect, a considerable volume of business in these was transacted. arrive, No. 1 hard, 83%; No. 1 No:ther, Blic; No. 2 8236; new No. 1 Northern, to arrive, 82-}c. Good and choice butchers' cattle, of over 1,000 lbs. weight, were want- ed, and sold readily at good prices, big figures in some instances .being paid for fancy animals. A Halifax despatch says: Advices from the west coast of Newfoundland predict gloomy prospects for the coming winter. While bait has been struck on one coast quite plentiful- ly, the fisheries cannot now be but a. failure, owing to the extreme late. ness at which bait was obtained. The failure this year is reported to be the worst in the history of the colony. Not many exporters' were received, but the values of those sold did not show a marked improvement over those of last Tuesday, and of last week. All that came forward were reported sold. The heavy ovorings of sheep had the efi‘ect of considerably weakening the market for them. and buyers were hardly prepared to take all on their hands that were on sale. Spring lambs probably declined in price the most. The receipts of milch cows were un- usually heavy, but under the influ- ence of a fairly brisk demand for good ones all were bought up by the leading buyers. The arrival amounted to 86 cars, containing 1,120 cattle, 2,182 sheep, 1,900 hogs, and 30 calves. The market for exporters’ ranged in value from $4.25 to 4480 per cwt., with the most of the sales at $4.50 to $4.60 per cwt. Butchers' cattle of choice quality held up well in value. We quote:â€" Best loads, $4.15 to $4.50; fair to good loads, $3.75 to $4; common to fair, $3 to $3.65; rough. $2.50 to $2.95, and canners, $2 up. The bulk of the sales in the feeder and stockcr classes consisted mostly of the latter description of cattle of 600 to 800 lbs. in weight, which sold at $2.75 to $3.40 per cwt.; off colors and poor breeds, 400 to 700 1135., were worth $2.40 to $3 per cwt. Trade in sheep was fairly active, notwithstanding the heavy run there- of, but lambs Were dull of sale and a trifle lower. We quotczâ€"Export ewes, $3.30 to $3.40; export bucks, $2.50 to $2.75 per cwt.; culls, $2 to $3.50 each; lambs. 4 to 4&0 per 1b., and $2.30 to $3.50 each. The values of calves were steadily maintained at 4 to 5&0 per 11)., and $2 to $10 each. The Macedonians Resolve To Carry on Fighting. A Constantinople despatch says: "Carry the war to the sea coast!” is the latest battle cry of the Macedon- ian insurgents. This plan is design- ed to bring the conflict more direct- ly before the eyes of Europe and compel the Turkish Government to weaken its forces in the interior. Military critics point out that Saraâ€" foff, the Bulgarian leader of the reâ€" V'olutionists, has been contriving to surprise the shrewdest of the Tur- kish commanders in several parts of the theatre of operations. They al- so declare that the Macedonians who are in arms are rapidly acquiring military habits in thought, action, and endurance, the methods of the brigand having been put aside in a remarkable manner during many of tne recent operations. This change shows an increasing ability to cope with the Sultan‘s forces. HOPE TO AROUSE EUROPE. The opinion is widespread that While the present uprising will main- ly subside at the beginning of win- ter, a situation as bad will develop again next spring. Hence diploma- tists continue to dwell upon hypotheâ€" tical solutions, which gives the im- pression that the crisis may take an important diplomatic turn any day. An immense mass meeting of Mame.L donians took place here Wednesday afternoon. They were most enthusi- astic. It resolved that a. memoranâ€" dum should be presented to the repâ€" resentatives of the great powers at Sofia, urging their Governments to take action. The speakers imoas- take action. The speakers impas- sionately appealed for the immediate intervention of the powers in Maceâ€" donia. declaring that If the pouring out of blood in Macedonia continued another fortnight, Europe would find nobody there to save.

The shooting was done by three men Who escaped after securing $3,000. Three of the men who were shot were Working in the cashier's office and the other was a motormnn asleep in the outer office. The men in the ofllce were shot before they were aware of the robbers' presence, and the motorman was killed as he was rising from a bench Where he had been asleep. Killed Two Injuredâ€"Wm. B.

The deadâ€"Frank Stewart. assist- ant clerk in the cashier's office, shot through the body while standing at his desk; John R. Johnson, motorâ€" man, shot through head. The robbers took no chances, but disposed of all the opposition of the employee before they entered the of- fice. Choosing the time when the employes Were busily engaged in bal- ancing up the receipts of the night, just after the last conductor had turned in his money and had left the barns, the robbers suddenly ap- peared at the receiving window and began shooting. The first intimation those inside the office had that anyâ€" thing was wrong was when they heard the shots. The first bullet. fired struck Stewart and he fell to the floor without :1 Word. Biehl and Edmond, who were sitting near Stewart, turned to see what was the matter, but before they could leave their chairs they“ were rendered helpâ€" less by the Well-directed bullets of the robbers. Johnson, the motor- man, who was asleep on a bench in the outer oflice, hearing the noise, started up to go to the assistance of ‘his companions, but was shot and killed before he could get on his feet. Making sure that all opposition had been removed, the robbers then broke open the door of the cashier’s oflice with a sledge hammer, and secured $3,000 in bills. which was lying on the desk. They then made their escape. Four men Were arrested three hours after the robbery, on suspicion of being implicated in the crime, but they have not as yet been identified. occurred about midnight. A regular freight, which had pulled in on the main line track afterwards received orders to take switch to let another train pass, and While backing up to make siding at Princeton, was pitch- ed into a. special freight train of perishable goods, and her ten cars were smashed, took fire, and were destroyed. A brakesnmn, nzuned Barrow, of Stratiord, who was sent down the track to flag and place the semaphore against the incoming train, was badly burned by oil, caus- ed by the explosion of an oil tank. The fireman and engineer of the in- coming train jumped when Within sixty yards of the wreck. The ac- cident is said to have been caused by the engineer of the incoming train not seeing the orders of the brakesman of the regular freight train. The through passenger trains Were sent around by Strat- forci. Auxiliaries from London and Stratiord were sent to the scene of the wreck, and by two o'clock this afternoon the track was cleared for trains to pass. A Woodstock despatch says: The Grand Trunk Railway, at. Princeton, was blocked for several hours early on Sunday through a rear-end col- lision between two freights, which occurred about midnight.

There was no earth- quake detonation or rain of ashes, nothing but a clear stream of lava and red hot stones, which were thrown lo a height of seven hundred feet.

The spectators, far enough away not to be frightened, s’tood entranc- ed at the spectacle, but those nearer were seized by panic and rushed 'down from the sides of the mountain to the villages near by. The alarm in these villages was somewhat quieted by the Mayors affixing notices deâ€" claring that there was no danger. The chief of police of Naples has gone personally 'to make a tour of the villages around Vesuvius. in or- der to reassure the peasants and su- perintend any measures of protection which may be deemed necessary. The superstitious lower classes are agiâ€" tating for the expulsion of Prof. Krull, of Munich, who predicted the eruption, declaring that he has the “evil eye." Conspicuous signs will be placed on the railroad cars, asking travelers to aid in suppressing fearful cruelty to animals and birds in Italy, by complaining 'to the Mayor or other oflicials of the place where the acts of cruelty occur. An illustrated circular will also be distributed among the travelers, explaining the facts as they exist, and travelers will be requested to aid in the move- ment by refusing 'to eat song-birds at the hotels and boarding-houses, by refusing 'to buy songâ€"birds from children, by looking under the sad- dles of horses and mules for wounds before renting such animals, and by refusing to give tips to drivers who abuse their animals. Marked Improvement in the Pack- ing of Fruit in Ontario. A Toronto despatch says :â€"Mr. P. J. Carey, Dominion Fruit Inspector, who has charge of the work in Tor- cnro, expresses himself as well satis- fied with the results of his efforts. The trade generally is loud in its praise of the work accomplished by the operation of the Fruit Marks Act. The consumers, too, can now make their purchases with a. greater degree of security, as the fraudulent- ly faced oackage is fast becoming a, thing of the past.
