Wednesday, March 1, 1939 nm jmr^^dHQK, I u Stock Report (By Dana ft Levaeii. Toronto) Following last Monday's market report, the trade became much Ktronver, due tu a light run caused by storm conditions. Today, Monday, the advance in price has been well maintained and all classes of cattle sold on H much higher level due to light receipts. If the run is heav- ier for the balance of the week, it is doubtful that prices will hold at pre- sent quotations. Choice heavy cattle featured the market, selling at from 7.75 to 8.00; fair to good from 6.76 to 7.25. In the butcher .section^ choice butcher steers ami heifers brought from 6.75 to 7.00; fair to good from 6.00 to 6.50; com- mon to medium 5.50 to 6.00. Choice baby beeves were in good demand at from 8.00 to 9.00, others downward to 6.50! Stockers and feeders were in strong demand, choice kind from 5.25 to 5.75. The cow trade held strong, choice fat cows selling from 4.75 to 5.25, with some extras at 5.50; fair to good from 4.25 to 4.75; common to medium fi om 3-50 to 4.00; canners and cutters from 3.00 to 3.25. Good fat bulls brouk'ht from 4.50 to 5.00, with some choice l)Utcher bulls up to 5.50; bolognas mostly from 4.25 to 4.50. The lamb market was very slow and prices a half lower, due largely to the fact that a large amount of MAKE YOUR LIVESTOCK PAY ship to Dunn & Levack Limited Canada's Lending Livestock Salesmen Union Stock Yards. TORONTO YOU"LL BE .AHEAD IF YOU SHIP TO US FAITHFUL SBRVICE SINCE 1893 frozen lamb is reported in the dressed meat trade. Choice ewe lembs sold at 7.85 and choice butcher sheep from 4.60 to 5.50. The calf market was active and strong, choice veal calve» bringing from 10.50 to 11.00; fair to good from 9.50 to 10.50; common to medium 7.00 to 8.50. Increase<l supplies of hogs caused a slow market on Monday, with most of the hogs being sold at from 9.26 to 9.40, with some extra long hauls to outside buyers at 9.50. The market looks uncertain for the balance of the week. PRICEVILLE The Holdfast U.F.W.O. Club meet- ing will be held on Wednesday, March 8th, at the home of Mrs. J. A.

Transmission trouble halted the work, repairs were made and the plow was back ready to clear the local streets on Monday morning. A heavy storm «m(I high winds on Sunday made motoring very difficult. Monady morning the large provincial plows were busy and soon had High- way 10 ii\ first class shape for truv- oltern. Highway 4 to Priceville was heavy and Tuesday morning cars were unable to travel. Higher tempera- tures with a south wind and rain prevailed on Tuesday. Two rinks of curlers attended a bonspiel at Hanover Monday.

In the science room there is an Incubator with nearly three hundred eggs in it and everyone is anxiously awaiting the appearance of the first little chicks. Last year we had fair luck but this year we are hoping to be more successful. As we go to press several little peeps are distinct- ly audible. In a couple of weeks' time we may hold an oratorical contest within the school. There will be two competi- tions, one in Lower School between Grade 9 and Grade 10, and one in Middle and Upper Schools. Whether there will be a contest or not depends on whether the students enter or not. Parents and friends will be invited to attend. More information will be given later. A. CHAPPLE, H. S. Editor. MARKDALE EDITOR ILL We are sorry to know that Editor A. E. Colgan of the Markdale Stand- ard is ill at his home. We hope that he will be around again soon and tiiat his health will be greatly improved. To Hog Feeders Producers- of hogs in Canada are reminded that the increase in the number of over-finished and over- weight hogs now being marketed is creating a very serious and acute problem in the export bacon and do- mestic pork trade. Farmers are therefore strongly advised to refrain from over-finishing and to endeavour to market their hogs before reachinjf a weight of two hundred and thirty pounds at the farm. A man charged with being drunk in Oshawa complained that an officer handcufTed h^m and shoved him about when taking him to the station, and the bench asktxl him what he expect- ed him to do, "tickle you under the chin?" Men'a nightshirts are to be mod- ernized. We are told, with delicate hues and sashes. The swing move- ment seems to have spread even to the field of night attire. Statistics show that Canada's pop- ulation is made up of thirty-six more men than women per thousand, which probably accounts for two or three men running after the same women. BmcSm Dbes the T rick!
