Belogodere Seduced her and the murder was the consequence. Mason confessed thnt the deed Was premeditated, but the jury after three minutes’ consideration of the case pronounced him blameless. m.

OFFER IN MAN TLES. past two weeks, as shippers claim that the late spell of cold weather brought out the bulk of the supply of winter hogs. farmers being glad to avail themsel' es of the opportunity of marketing them. as they complain of a great scarcity of Corn. The crop of spring hogs Will also be light owing to scarciety of feed, and on this account farmers have been killing pretty freely. It would therefore appear that Montreal packers are not going to secure their usual supply this season. as packers say it does not pay to barrel poi-Ir at present prices, it beim.r claimed that :Chicago pork can be bought in and sold at less money than it cost to turn out the Canadian product. The hog crop of the Western States is also turning out very short, but it is thought the high prices of pork will curtail consumption both in the lUlllth btates and Canada. During: the past week or ten days car lots of dressed hogs in this market have been disposed of at $7.95 to $3.00; but at: the moment $7.85 to $7.90 appear to be the ruling rates. These are unusually high values, and could only result from an actual scar- l city, and means that less pork will be? packed in Montreal this season than inl former years, as packers will be afraid to cut up hogs at such high figures. The packet who has taken a good quantity 1 of late, contracted before the late advance ‘ set in. Unless prices recede very materi- ally, there can be no doubt that more American pork will be required in this market than for several years past, as it will be too risky for local packers to operate at the big prices hogs are now Commanding. It is said that most of the ofl‘erings of Canadian hogs will be need ed for butchers’ purposesâ€"Trade Bulletin. l It is quite possible and even probable, that the present visible supply of wheat on this continent, which has been accumu- lating st snoh a tremendously big ratio of hue. may turn out very misleading: for when the increased storage facilities throughout the West and Northwestern States are taken into account and the free selling on the part of producers, it may mean that the heavy increase in the visible supply this year represents what was in farmers’ hands in previous years. In fact, it is well known that, besides the bee selling.' on the part of farmers, they have availed themselves of elevator room in different sections of the country, pre- erring to store their wheat where is is ligible for sale at a moment’s notice rather than have it- in their own barns in winter time, when they might be preclud- ud from conveying it to market owing to A Short Hog Crop: The tenor of advizes from Western Ontario regarding the supply of dressed hogs has nmterially changed during the TEA Mauserâ€"The Methodist tea meeting at Little Britian, on Monday evening, was well attcuued, not withstand- ing the stormy weather.

Still, the spot market will no doubt be governed largely by supplies ‘in sight; but as soon as these diminish to any extent, cash wheat. will probably advance materially as well as futures. It now see.ns to be more generally conceded that the prices of breadstufl's have been forced down beyond their normal status. and if this has actually been the case, the reaction will of course be the more pro- nounced. Such is the confidence which some of our regular dealers manifest in present prices that they have commenced quietly to make purchases, although the prices paid are beyond what the English market will warrant being, paid at present. One or two lots of No. 2 Upper Canada winter wheat have changed hands on this market. at about 70c, which is an extreme- ly low price, and never before known to be as cheap by the oldest dealers in the trade. This wheat, as has been intimat- ed, was not bought for immediate ship- ment, but for a future market. as a great change is expected between now and the next crop.-â€"lllmztrcal Trade Bulletin. 000,000 bushels less in farmers' hands than is estimated, wheat is to-dsy worth at least 10¢ per bushel more than it is at present selling at. English buyers would also be deceived in supposing that back of the enormous supplies in sight on this continent were correspondingly large reserves. so that the question of supplies zband reads. The enormous increase in storage room throughnut the West and Northwest may therefore account in a great measure for the unprecedentcdly large supplies in sight, as compared with former seasons.
