CATTLE MAR KET, Toronto, Oct. 15).-â€"The principal feature in the cattle trade at the Western market to-day, was the im- provement in the prices of cxporfcrs' cattle, which sold fully 10c higher. Butchers' cattle were weak, and in most cases lower. The situation in light stockers and feeders showed no improvement, but the liberal receipts of the day, and what were held over from the preâ€" vious market were not easy to sell. A number of buyers from a distance were buying this class of cattle, but it was said that the farmers lately were unwilling to pay good prices for them by reason of the bad outâ€" look in exporters', and the prosâ€" pectspects that firm prices in cereals would prevail throughout the fall and winter. A weaker feeling was perceptible in distillery feeders, but sales in these were effected with some freedom. The offerings thereof were fairly liberal. An active demand for exporters' was a surprising feature of the marâ€" ket, and the light offerings were readily picked up by the operators, who were unable to entirely comâ€" plete their requirements. Best quality butchers were scarce and in demand at fairly satisfactory prices, considering the way the marâ€" ket for the other grades has been go- ing of late. A firm tone dominated the lamb market, and 10c higher was paid than a week ago. Sales are effec- ted With a fair amount of vim. Exâ€" port ewes and bucks were steady. Milch cows of choice breed and milking qualify sold readily, the values keeping quite strong. Infer- ior cows were not so much in de- mand. The arrivals reported were 92 cars, 1,464 cattle, 1,840 sheep and lambs, 1.569 hogs, and 61 calves. The vale of exporters nominally ranged from $4 to $4.70 per cwt., but as there “ere few choice loads received, the most of the sales were effected on a basis lower than $4.50 per cwt. The tone was firm at the close. Trade in butchers‘ was quiet. Quo- tations follow:â€"â€"Good loads, 34 to $4.25; extra select animals, $4.50; fair to good, $3.75 to $4.15; medi- um to fair. $3.25 to $3.75; common $2.50 to $3.15: rough and inferior, $2.25 up; canners $2 per cwt. Calves were quoted at 4; to 5§c per 11)., and $2 to $10 each. Milch cows and springers sold at. $30 to $54 each. Trade in feeders and stockers was fairly steady. We quotezâ€" Feeders, 1.000 to 1,200 lbs, $3.75 to $4.15; feeders, 800 f0 1,000 lbs. $3.30 to $3.70; sfoekers, (300 to 8001bs., $2.75 to $3.25; stock calves, 400 IDS. UP, $2.25 to $2.60; inferiors, 32 up. Firmness was the characteristic of the market for lambs. Our quota- tions are as follostzâ€"Export ewes, $3.40 to $3.50: export bucks, $2.50 to 82.75; lambs, $3.50 to‘83.65 per cwt. Hogs were weak in price. We quotezâ€" Selects, 160 to 200 Tbs, of good bacon quality, off cars, $5.60; fats and lights, $5.40 per cwt; SOWS $4 per cwt., and Stags $2 to $3. The prospects are that prices will be 10c lower next week. ___+â€"__ KILLED IN POWER-HOUSE. Engineer Meets Death at Fergus- Caught in Belt. A Forgus despafch says: An acciâ€" dent occurred in the power-house of the electric light plant about 8 o'clock on Friday evening, which rtL sulted in the death of Mr. Ed Thomâ€" son, assistant engineer. While he was working about the engines he b0~ came caught in the driving belt, and was instantly killed, the body being badly mangled. Thomson, who was about 35 years of age, had but rec- ently moved to town from Guelph. He leaves a widow and several chilâ€" dren. _,..â€"..+*_ THOUSAND EMIGRANT S. Salvation Army Will Arrange for Spring Exodus. A London despatch says: Governor ILamb, of the Salvation Army Col- iony at lladleigh, has been commis- ‘isionrd by General Booth to proceed to Canada and conduct negotiations swith the Canadian Government for lthe emigration of a thousand men, [women and children in the spring. f Suspicion Points to Kennedy as the Murderer. A Ilrnntford dcspnfch says: The coroner's jury in tl‘e Irene Cole murâ€" (ier case returned a verdict on Wed< ncsday nighf. attributing Illl‘ child's death to murder, picion on Joseph Kennedy, the man under arrest. on the charge. A numâ€" ber of new witnesses brought out nd‘ difional facts of considerable importâ€" ance. The prisoner was interviewed and made an explanation of his movements, which is entirely contraâ€" dictory to the testimony of a dozen or more witnesses who claim he was in the vicinity of "The Willows" at various times between I and 4 o'- clock on the afternoon of the crime. Henry Ifowe SWOI‘P he sold a chicken to Kennedy fhe day before the murder. The prisoner had staf- ed to witness' wife that, he wanted the chicken for his little girl, who had been teasing him to buy one for her. Ile took it away alive in a brown bag. Scrgt. Wallace, of the local force. swore he found a chicken, partly deâ€" cmnpOSt-d, about sixty yards from the girl's dead body, and a. straight line between the body and the step- pingâ€"stones across the tail race. The jury's verdict reads :â€"“We find that Irene Cole was wilfully murderâ€" ed by a person or persons unknown to this jury at present. It is the unanimous opinion of this jury, from evidence produced, that suspicion points to the prisoner Kennedy. We desire to call the attention of the oity authorities to the fact that the place known as ‘The Willows' is a rendcsvouz of some of the worst characters, and would recommend that steps be taken to remedy this evil without delay." __+ _____ BRITAIN AND FRANCE. The General Treaty of Arbitration Concluded. A Paris despatch says: It was learned in authoritative quarters on Friday evening that the terms of the general treaty of arbitration between France and Great Britain had been concluded between Foreign Minister Delcasse and the authorities in Lon- don. All the substantial features of the treaty have now been settled. There only remain minor questions of de- itails before the signing of the treaty. These formalities are so far advanc- ed that the treaty is considered to be an accomplished fact. The trea- ty follows the general lines of the Hayâ€"Pauncc-fote Arbitration Treaty. The officials view the negotiations as evidence of the sympathetic attiâ€" tude of the United States, France, and Great Britain on the practical adoption of the theory of arbitration. The treaty is mainly significant in being the culmination of the rap- prochmcnt between France and Great Britain after centuries of warfare, the maintenance of defensive armaâ€" ments and the recent animosities growing out of the/Fashoda incident and the South African War. It is also signiKICant of the tendency toâ€" wards a rearrangement of the Euroâ€" pean political alliances. The treaty is mainly the outcome of the exchange of visits between King Edward and President Loubet and the visit of Baron 'd’Estournellt-s do Constant and the French I’arâ€" liamentarians to London. JAIL FOR TREATING. Western Town Adopts By-law to Suppress Drinking. A Vancouver, B. C., dcspatch says: Reeve Lander, of the Delta, in It is called the has introduced a unique byâ€"law his rural district. antiâ€"treating byâ€"law. Several years ago. the temperance people in the district agitated strongly to proâ€" vide measures to stop the excessive drinking which was going on. They conceived the idea that if the treatâ€" ing system was stopped the amount of liquor sold would be reduced to the minimum. It is unusual for the rcme to introduce a byâ€"law, but Reeve Lander pledged himself to see that it was passed if elected, and as none. of the councillors cared to fa- ther if. the from did, and it passed the council and became law; it is now in Landers a penal offence to treat a friend.

If is reported in (.‘hefoo that (he 'Iili’illll‘.‘L‘ are landing troops at Mo-(‘nnâ€"l’ho, .number of field guns were embarked at Port .\rthur Friday. 'l'hefr deâ€" sfinnfion is unknown. Cholera and thc bubonic plague have broken out among the Russians at New Chwang. It is stated that the .lapuhuse have decided to declare hosiil-ilies on the expiration of their ultimatum. The Post also piints n (‘hcfoo dcâ€" spatch dated Sunday, saying that the situation is unchanged, and that everything is quiet at Port Arthur. The correspondent adds thaf hostili» ties are believed to bc imminent. It is asserted that the Russians have fixed next Friday for the. commenceâ€" ment of hosfi ifics. There is an exodus of Chinese mer- chants from the. Yalu Valley. They are arriving at (.‘hefoo. Press despotths from the Far East fend to Show that actual hosâ€" tilities between Russia and Japan are not immediately imminent, deâ€" spite the story sent by the corresâ€" pondent of the Morning Post. All incident such as the landing of troops at Moâ€"Sanâ€"Pho has no parti- cular significance. Action of that Sort would be. within Japan's treaty rights, as the Corean Government has conceded to Japan a small piece of territory there in connection with the building of a branch railway. The utter defiance in Russia's atti- tude is seen in her selection of Octoâ€" ber 8, the date set for her evacua- tion of Manchuriu, as the day for the Russian garrison at New Chwnng to parade the streets, with bands playâ€" ing national airs. The Russian civil administrator said publicly to one of the foreign Consuls that the quesâ€" tion of evacuation was simply a joke. â€"â€"â€"â€"_+â€"â€"_â€"â€". CANADA’S FARM PRODUCE. Report of Committee Says Yield is Expanding. An Ottawa despatch says: The re.- port of the Committee on Agriculâ€" ture was presented to the House on Friday. The committee find that the agricultural industry of Canada, both as regards actual production and the commercial value of the products, is in a. very prosperous condition. For years it has been steadily expanding year by year, and especially in re- cent years has the expansion of pro- duction and export. increased at a most, gratifying pace. The report al- ludes particularly to the develop- ment in the exports of cheese, but- ter, and pork in the last 12 years. The export value of all farm and food products from Canada Were. in 1890, $24,000,000, and in 1902, $80,000,000, showing a total in- crease of all farm products in the 12- ycarâ€"pcriod of $56,000,000, or makâ€" ing the export value of 1902 equal to that of 1890 multiplied by 3;. BRITISH CABINET. New Lord Salisbury Succeeds Duke of Devonshire. A London despatch says: Prime Minister Balfour has now filled all the vacancies in the Cabinet due to promotions and resignations. The latest appointments are as follows:â€" The Marquis of Salisbury, son of the late Prime Minister, who was Parliamentary Secretary of the Forâ€" eign Office, Lord Privy Seal, vice the Duke of Devonshire, resigned.

A Melbourne dosputch says: The Federal House of Representatives has by ballot selected Tumut for the Federal capital. The New South Wales nu-mbcrs wanted Lyndhurst. while the Victorians were divided he- twcen Bombala and Tumut. When Bombala was rejected all the Victor- ians supported Tumut. which is nearâ€" est to Melbourne. The [louse decidâ€" ed that an area comprising 1,000 square miles shall constitute the Federal territory, which will make the Murray River the southern bounâ€" dary and Murrum Bridge the north- ern boundary. The people of New South Wales object to surrendering so large an area. which will make the territory adjoin Victoria, and it is probable that the Government of New South Wales will withhold its consent.
