Toronto) Supplies of cattU were somewhat heavier for Monday's market and the trade was slow and closed at from 26 to 36c lower on botcher cattle and steera, while cows and bulls held steady.' ' Lambs were lower, due to the arrival of shipments of dressed lamb from New Zealand, also calves were about 50c lower, under a more literal supply. The hog market was steady with the close of tbe week. Choice weighty steers brought from 7.25 to 7.50; fair to good from 6.75 to 7.26. In the butcher section, choice steers and heifers brought from 7.0O to 7.26, with a few extra tops at slightly higher prices; fair to goo* from 6.50 to 7.00; common to medium. 6.00 to 6.60. Choic baby beeves- ranged from 8.00 to 9.00. The cow- market was slow, but prices about steady. C-hoiw fnt cows from 6.00 tO' 6.25; fair to good 4.60 to 6.00; commos to medium 3.76 to 4.26; canners and^ cutters 3,26 to 3.76. Good boIognaL bulls brought from 6,25 to 6.50; com- mon light builB 4.60 to 5.00. Choice lambs sold at 10.60 and best butcher sheep from 6.60 to 6.00. Choice calves 12.00 to 13.00, with prospects of an easier trade for the balance of the week. Fair to gootf calves brought from 10.00 to 12.00; common to medium 8.00 to 10.00. Supplies of hogs were somewhat heavier and most of the hogs soldi aUve at 9-00, with those on the dress- ed weight basis at various prices^ Good sows sold at 6c alrve. The arrival of a large amount of dressed pork from the United States, contin- ues to affect the local wholesale trade, and should supplies become top-heavy- prices will likely work lower here.

PROTON STATION The County Council with the co-op- eration of the Artemesia and Proton Councils, have begun operations for a new culvert on the town line in Proton village. Men are at work in this January weather with picks and shovels digging through the froren earth to clear away the old culvert, making very slow progress. T^his ne- . ilriin has been badly needed ..car.- a= it is supposed to drain ihi- !Ilat:i cellars. The old one has ^^ not. been giving satisfaction. The JL villagers are wondering if the work could not have been done faster and cheaper in warmer weather, Congratulations are extended to ilev. Harold Hobbs and Mrs. Hobbs on the birth of a son, on Sunday Jan. 28th, 1940. The Proton Station correspondent has been away visiting, so the items have not gone into the paper. Two letters came into our home to-day from the far North, and one from the Southern part of Ontario. Both writers remarked that they had miss- ed the Proton Station items. Now isn't that gratifying. Miss Maude Acheson and her friend, Mary McNab, of Primrose, visited at the Acheson home a week ago. The storm prevented them from re- turning in time for school by motor, so the good old C.P.R. was appreciat- ed. Mr. Patterson, our student minister, was also forced to abandon his car and return to Toronto by train. t t t t t T T t F. T. Hill & Co., Ltd. MARKDALE, Out. The family of the late William J.

ONE ON THE MAYOR A local citizen "pulled one" this week which even Mayor Cliff Speer will appreciate. A group were speaking of the excessive snowfall of the past week, and they were not very happy at the thought of all the shovel ling they had to do. Finally, one of the men said it was due to the recent election, exclaiming: "We never had drifts like this while Alvin Metiger wah mayor."â€" Hanover Post. It is being suggested that the pre- sent exemption of t2,000 for married men and $1,000 for single men be lowered in order to inervMe Income tax revenue. Yet only 2 millions of tax revenue was obtained from the 160,000 people who had an in- come of less than |S,000.
