Toronto, Nov. 17.â€" There was a noticeably increased activity in the cattle trade at the city market to- day, and a better feeling seems to prevail all round than has been the case the past two or three weeks. There was a good run of stock, a fair to active demand in most lines, and a slightly upward tendency in prices. The run comprised 89 loads, with 1,069 head of cattle, 2,343 sheep and lambs, 2,500 hogs, and 64 calves. Exporter.sâ€" There were a few loads of export cattle olTering, but more were wanted. Several lots of un- finished short-keep steers were bought for export, ajl being the best avail- able. These were a little too light and unfinished, but sold at $4.20 to $4.- 2o for the top. Butchers'â€" There was a little better demand for good butchers' cattle, and a readiness to pay better prices for choice cattle. The decline in Tuesday's market was fully recover- ed to-day. Choice butchers' sold at $4.10 to $4.25, ordinary run of fair butchers' cattle at $3.75 to S4, common and rough butchers' were a slower sale^ and fetches from $1.75 to $2.75. Feeders â€" The features of to-day's market was the active demand for short-keep feeders. One buyer said he could have taken 20 loads of the right sort had they been available. Good quality short-keep sold at $4 to S4.25. Stockers â€" There was a little better demand for light stockers. Sheep and Lambs â€" The sheep trade Was dvill. lambs firm, and calves dulL Hogsâ€" The market is weak, but no change in the quotation to-day. Prospects, however, for lower prices the end of the week.

Live Stock at the St. Lotiis World's Fair. A Toronto despatch says : â€" Unless the present restrictions as applied to the importations of pure bred ani- mal.«i into the United States can be greatl,v modified, and the St. Louis Exhibition authorities change con- siderably, the regulations pertaining to Canadian live stock, the Canadian breeders recede from their unanimous stand, the Dominion will not be re- presented in that department of the World's Fair. A thoroughly repre- sentative meeting of breeders at the Rossin House on Wodiie.'jday night discussed the matter, and concluded that the Government might better employ the SIOO.OOO grant for the pru-pose of enabling Canadians to make a creiiilable show in holding a stock exhibition on llus side of the border. ANOTHtR TREATY. May Be Necessary to Settle Alas- ka Case. An Ottawa despatch says : â€" It will probably rcquiie another tieatj- be- tween Britain and the States to com- plete the delimitation of the disput- ed boundarj- between Canada and Alaska. There was something be- tween 100 and 150 miles of the lino that the Conunlssionerg did not think, they had data suffrlent to ex- actly locate. Canada would rather have se«n the whole matter cleared up while Lord Alverstone and the other representatives were about it. Perhaps, though, a joint commission of surveyors may be able to present an imardmous report, and in that event the outlay would not be need- ed for another expensive arbitration. GLORY WHALEN MURDER. Han in Manchester Confesses the Crime. A Toronto despatch says: A man who claims to be the murderer of Glory Whalon has turned up at Man- chester. England, but there is little known at present to connect him with the crime. Attorney-General Gibson on Friday received a cable from the Manches- ter police convoying the information that a man giving the name of Wil- liam Joseph Carey Spurks, who was in jail there on a charge of commit- ting un unnatural olTence. has con- fessed that he murdered Glory Wha- len near CoUingwood last Juno. The despatch gave no particulars as to whether Sparks wa.s white or colored. It will he remembered that suspicion fell upon a negro tramp who had been seim in the district with a white comparrioa and who vanished immediately after tlic crime Was committed. Numerous arrests of suspicious characters wore made, but in spite of the utmost vigilance of the police this is the first suspic- ion of a clue that has been discover- ed. Immediately upon receipt of the cablegram, Attorney-General Gibson gave orders that the necessary ox- tradition proceedings shovild be tak- en, and should the facts bear out Sparks' confession, he will certainly bo brought to Canada for trial. An investigation will be ordered to find out Sparks' record, and if it is such as to make it apparent that he was connected with the murder of Glory Whalen. it is thought extremely un- likely that the British authorities would iiisi.st upon holding him for a lesser crime in England. They would probably turn him over to the Canadian authorities for trial on the more serious charge, and have him rearrested should he be acquit- ted. 1 DRAGOiVlIROFF DISMISSED. Czar Summarily Dismisses ex- Govemor of Kieff. A Moscow despatch says: Gen. Dra- gomirolT. the retired Governor-Gener- al of KiolT, has left hero for his es- tates, the Czar having no further use for his services. The circumstances of the summary dismissal of the General have just leaked out. and strikingly illustrate the humanitarian ideas of the Ru.ssian ruler. fira- gomirotT. who enjoyed unbounded fa- vor at court, and was the most po- pular man in the Russian Armi'. lost favor and his ofiice because he did not show moderation in quelling the recent strike riots at KielT. which practically involved all the working people of the town. Hearing that the strikers might cause a repetition of the Kishineff scones. DragomirofT called out the artillery and caused a wholesale slaughter of the rioters. It Is said that several hundred of them were killed. When the Czar hoard the facts he at once dismissed Dra- gomirolT with the words: â€" 'T cannot have that man at Kieff any longer. His hands are stained with human blood." CORRECTIVES FOR SWINE KEEP OB.. HOTEL WRECKED. Terrific Explosion of Acetylene Gas at Eidgetown.

When a hog is running at large, he does not root up the pasture from pure love of exercise, nor does he do it because of Innate cussedness. He roots to obtain something for which his system craves. It is this crav- ing that causes a confined pig to gnaw and tear at the trough and sides of the pen; and hogs have been know to tear apart briclc walls in order to get at the mortar. The cause of this unnatural craving is not well understood. It may be due in part to a lack of ash in the food : for, aa has already been stated, a hog may be getting all the grain he can eat and j^ct be partial- ly starved, because certain require- ments of the system are insufhciently supplied. It has been attributed by soma to the presence of intestinal worms; and by others to some form of indigestion. Whatever may be the anco possible.

An Ottawa despatch says: The surtax of one-third, applied to all imports from Germany last month, will undoubtedly result in a decrease of Canadian purcha.ses from that country. The Coiwuissiouer of Customs thinks that it will hit es- pecially hard the trade which Ger- Inian firms did in sugar and cement with this country, also in woollens. He is sntislied that a large share of the imports in those lines will come instead from other countries. A Well-Known Londoner Falls 'Un. der a Train. A London.
