in fact the general range shows a strong 10c.@ l5c.gain.There isa good demand for stockers, but the supply is light and the volume of business small ata firm range of prices.At the opening of the week the market for shipping cattle was stronger, animals carrying flesh enough to make them at all attractive commanding an advance of 10c.@ 16¢.The appreciation in values was not because of any activity in the demand, a8 neither exporters nor the eastern trade were at all eager for stock, but was due to the small receipts and the general belief that the run for the near future would fall below the average.No very fine cattle were offered.Some choice ones\u2019 reached $6.35 @ $6.50, but few got above $6.Butchers\u2019 stock sold to rather better advantage than last week.Although the local demand was moderate it was in excess of the supply and prices averaged be.@ 10c.higher.Rough, thin, rakish cattle were in abundant supply and sold slowly.The market for stockers and feeders was quiet with values about steady.The demand was fair, and ae desirable young cattle were scarce fully former rates were obtained As the week advanced there was no improvement in the supply ; neither was there any noticeable increase in the de mand, and although arrivals fall consider ably short of the average there was quite enough cattle to go around, and the most sellers were able to do was to sustain previous quotations.There was perhaps a slightly firmer tone to the market for good to choice grades, but the poorer sorts were barely steady.The soft, wet weather no doubt had much to do with the unsatisfactory state of trade, thoughthe almost entire absence of export orders was the chief cause of the continued dullness in the fat cattle market.The quality of the offer ings was rather poor\u2014not much below the average, but decidedly inferior to that of former years at the beginning of April.There were no extra droves, and only scattering lots that could be classed higher than good.Fair to choice cows, heifers, and, in fact, all grades of butchers\u2019 stock, were firm.Only a small number was on sale, aod though neither butchers nor canners wanted many they took all the suitable lots at fully recent prices.Corn fed Texas cattle were rather scarce and in very good demand.The canning demand was rather weak.Stockers and feeders were in scanty supp'y and sold at strong prices, especially the better grades.Towards the close of the week receipts were rather larger, and while the arrivals for the week did not foot up heavy there were indications of increased runs, at least many thought so, and the eastern demand was not very strong.The market on the whole, however, was not quotably different.If there was any improvement it was on fine fat lots of light and medium weights.Rough and thin cattle were slow, and there was no competition for heavy export grades.The market for cows and mixed cattle was without material change.The canners still held off on account of high prices.Handy light steers and fat cows were wanted, however, and they sold at fully former rates.There was a fair demand for stockers and feeders and only a small supply, but buyers aud sellers could not easly agree on prices and the trade was unsatisfactory.Good grades, however, were held at strong prices, and values were generally firm.Sales range :\u2014 Fancy extra heavy steers.$6 55 @ $6 75 Prime steers.ocevues 646 @ 665 Choice to prime steers.ce.626 @ 60 Good to choice steers.59% @ 62 Fair to good steers.550 @ 590 Common to fair steers.49 @ 540 Feeders, fair to prime.475 @ 525 Stockers, common to choice.882 @ 475 Cows, choice to prime.\u2026 485 @ 550 Cows, common to choic 325 @ 475 Cows, inferior.260 @ 320 Poor to fancy bulls.:\u2026 865 @ 540 Fair to choice corn-fed .450 @ 57 Distillery-fed bulls.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.430 @ 49 Receipts of sheep at the opening of the week were very large, and values ruled a trifle weaker.The offerings of western stock were very heavy, and there were large supplies of undesirable natives.Later in the week, however, arrivals were much lighter than expected, and with a good demand values strengthened.Good to.best lots advanced 10¢/@15¢, while common to fair sheep remained unchanged.Shippers, however, were rather indifferent, as they have been for some time.Eastern markets are relatively not so good as this, and the margins for shippers are very slim or minus.Common to choice native sheep sold at $3.70@$5.90, with extra 148 lb.muttons at $6.50.Nebraska sheep brought $5.40/@$5.50.PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS MONTREAL, April 5.Frour\u2014There is no change in the flour market, and certainly there is no improvement, the tone continuing very dull.Stocks in store show very little change from a week ago.We quete: Superior Extra, verbrl.$5.45 @ $5.50 Extra Superfine.\u2026 520 @ 5235 Fapey.ASTI IIR » 0.00 @ 5.00 Spring Extra.ersarterans 4.85 @ 4.9 SuUperfne.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026.sersassnsse \u2026\u2026 000 @ 4.25 Strong Ba ers\u2019) Canadian].5.25 @ 5.50 Strong æers\u2019 [American].5.45 @ 56,55 Fine.LL.ccccocssensocs0c000 eves 3.60 @ 3.75 Mid slings.+.8340 @ 3.50 Pollards.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.coiosnrniienes 8.25 @ 8.35 Ontario bags [mediu nl.b.d.250 @ 2.60 6 \u201c spring > nchester, Nashaa, Lowell, &e., and the ONLY E rnaning Porte throagh the White Mountains to land, Trains leave Montreal asfollows:\u2014 9.00 A.M.\u2014Da;

Liverpool 213,090 head ; Newcastle 198,385 head; Hul 57,840 head; Harwich 55,202 head ; Glasgow 49,991 head ; and Hartlepocl 41,468 head.From Germany alcne London received 400,000 sheep during the year, from the Nether lands 213,000, and from Belgium 90,000.The total number of animals received in Great Britain last year was 1,624,882, of which number 2,021 animals were found to be suffering from disease, and were slaughtered at the landing wharf, a very small proportion of so large a quantity.During the same period we received from Ireland 1,478,613 animals, so that the trade with foreign countries has increased to even a higher aggregate than that with Ireland.Petitions very largely signed are being sent up from all parts of the country, praying the house of commons not to accept the cattle diseases bill as amended by the lords, INCREASE OF VOLUNTEERS.The past year has been the most successful one in the history of the volunteer movement, according to the annual return.The number of men enrolled was 209,365, the bighest ever yet reached, and more gratifying is the fact that the total number of etlicients was 202,428, giving a percentage of efficients to enrolled of 96.69.THE BRITISH BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.Itis anticipated that the forthcoming budget will contain abundant evidence that although Mr.Gladstone does not hold the office of chancellor of the exchequer his financial genius will be manifested in certain reforms proposed to be affected in the two great revenue services, the customs and the inland revenue.The plan to be proposed will embrace the merging of the boards of the two departments into one, the thorough amalgamation of the two services, both indoor and outdoor, the ereation of a new board, which will deal with all sources of revenue, and the formation of the government department,will be termed the revenue services.The proposed re-arrangement of the work would enable the inland revenue officials to perform all duties which are now peculiar to the other department, and thus at once do away with the necessity of keeping up dual establishments and two sets of officials in all the ports ofthe United Kingdom.At first many of the staff would be thrown on the redundant list, but when they were eventually retired or reabsorbed, the saving to the state would be very considerable, while the benefit to the public will be correspondingly great, inasmuch as they will be able to transact all their business at one office and with one set of officials.It has been intimated that the chancellor of the exchequer has a scheme for the limitation of club rights as regards the licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors.Wales is especially mentioned as a principality, in some districts of which there are more clubs with unlimited freedom to drink than there are public houses udesr magisterial control.Mr, Childers is making enquiries and preparing to deal with this question, but there are doubts as to his being able to introduce his budget before the Easter recess.A RIVAL TO WESTON, THE AEMRICAN PEDESTRIAN.Weston, the American temperance athlete, completed his task of walking 5,000 miles in 100 days, on Saturday last, performing the last mile in 9 minutes 17 seconds, the fastest of the 5,000 ; but he will have to look to his laurels, for he has now a rival in the field named Spencer, who is engaged at an Islington skating rink in walking 50 miles every dav.His object is to complete 5,000 niles, and prove that it is possible to accomplish this on alcoholic beverages.He is a man 60 years of age, and has already completed one- fourth of his task, is liquia refreshments consist of ale or brandy, and no unmixed water is to be taken.WHAT WE PAY FOR EDUCATION, The returns just issued by the education department show that the expenditure for 1883 was £2,846,027 58.2d., an increase of £44,022 4s.10d.over 1882.The amount paid to Church of England schools was £1,311,008 16s.5d., a decrease of £5,894 14s.11d; to board schools, £858,019 11s., an increase of £44,611 11s.; to Roman Catholic schools, £134,891 18s.2d., a decrease of £2,352 9s.8d.; to denomina- tienal schools, £223,231, an increase of £1,297; and to Wesleyan schools, £114,671, an increase of £2,714.VALUABLE ANCIENT WRITINGS.The papyrus collection recently purchased by Archduke Renier is now being examined, under the direction of Herr Karabaczek, at the Vienna museum.About 1,500 papyri have been examined, and one half of them are in an excellent state of preservation.Amongst them are two papyri dating from the beginning of our era, and also a fragment of Thucydides, written about the end of the third century after Christ, and therefore of great value, as the oldest manuscripts of Thucydides are of the 11th century.There 1s also a Latin papyrus of the 5th or 6th century, fragments of Greck Gospels of the 4th century, and a large number of Arab and Greek writings, many of which will be interesting to men of learning and others.COFFEE HOUSE COMPANIES IN ENGLAND.That the establishment of coffee and cocoa houses in the large centres of industry has been a step in the right direction is admitted on all hands.From a report recently published giving particulars of the gross takings and the dividends paid for the last year, it appears that out of a dozen leading companies, except in one instance, the dividends have shown remarkably well.Two returned 5 per cent.to their shareholders; one 6 per cent.; one T4 per cent.; and one, the Chester cocoa house company, divided 20 per cent.The one exception was a comparatively small affair at Maryport, which yielded only 24 per cent.The shareholders have therefore every reason to be satisfied with their investment in philanthropic enterprises conducted on commercial principles.HEREDITARY EDITORSHIP.It is reported that Mr.Evelyn Jerrold, son of Blanchard Jerrold, and grandson of Douglas Jerrold, has succeeded to the editorship of Lloyd's News, one of the oldest and most popular of the cheap weekly journals.This is probably one of the most remarkable examples of hereditary editorship, continued thus through three generations, ever known in the history of journalism.A LIBERAL PROPOSAL.A meeting of the tenant farmers living upon the estates of Lord Tollemache was held at Peckforton Castle, Cheshire, on Monday last to consider, with their landlord, the important question of ensilage.His lordship is an enthusiastic lover of the science, and had the subject fully discussed, and then he proposed to put the matter to a practical test by offering lo construct silos on the tenants\u2019 farms, on the condition that if the ensilage proved an advantage to the tenants, they should pay 5 per cent.interest on the outlay; but if the result was otherwise\u2014ecvery care, of course, having been taken in making the experi- ment\u2014then the tenants would not be called upon to pay anything.This offer was freely accepted, the tenants considering the terms the most liberal that could be conceived.Fires.\u2014An alarm was sounded at 1.30 o\u2019clock on Saturday afternoon from box 81 for a slight fire in the house No.338 Mig nonne street, caused by the explosion of a lamp.The services of the brigade were not required, as the fire was put out before their arrival ; no damage.Another alarm was sounded at 2 o\u2019clock yesterday afternoon from box 7.On the brigade responding it was found that the building No.501 St.Paul street, occupied in the lower flat by W.B.Chapman, hide and leather merchant, and in the upper flats by Mr.Bell as a paper-box factory, was in flames.The fire looked at firef as if it would prove a very serious one, as the blaze was burst- iag from every window and reaching nearly across the street, but by the excellent work of the brigade it was confined to the building in which it started, not however before it was pretty well gutted.Strange to say there did not appear to be any stock in any part of the store; the damage will therefore be comparatively light, that on the building being the most serious, and will probably reach between seven or eight hundred dollars.The building belonged to Mr.Hagar, and was fully covered by insurance.The salvage corps spread several covers in the adjoining stores to save the property from damage by water, of which there was a very plentifal supply.VITAL QUESTIONS ! !

and be it further resolved, that copies of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the deceased, and also to the press for publication.There being no further business be fore the meeting, the president called on any member for a few remarks, which was responded to by Mr.Keys with a stirring address on the cause of the league, which he said was making such good progress in the work of redressing Ireland\u2019s wrongs by constitutional means.After some appropriate remarks from the president, the meeting adjourned, to meet again on the first Sunday in May, when a full account of the finances of the league will be submitted to the members.Street CLeaviNg.\u2014Notre Dame street, between St.Lambert Hill and Place d\u2019Armes Square, presented a very animated appearance on Saturday.Sixty-five stalwart laborers stood in a line with pick and shovel engaged in what appeared at first sight to be excavating for a section of railway, but toa closer observer their labors were directed to the annual task of clearing the roadway of the winter\u2019s snow and ice.The task is no easy one, as much exertion being required to remove the accumulation as though it were eolid earth.Quite a blockade was caused during the afternoon by the driver of cart No.760 monopolizing moreof the highway than was necessary, and, with that hauteur which is supposed to be becoming in the municipal civil service, refusing for a time to make way for passing vehicles.In some cities of the Southern States,\u2014 is of al term prisoners in the gaols are utilized to keep the thoroughfares clean, and thereby prevent said prisoners from eating the bread of idleness.Each morning they are turned out to labor, with a spike around the ankle (to suppress any desire for a hasty departure) a heavy hoe and an overseer to gee the work properly done.It is quite & sight to see a gang of these gentry in the position described, especially in the case of gome dissipated member of the quasi- aristocracy in & < plug \u201d hat and broadcloth suit, making awkward attempts to keep up a motion with the rest of the gang.There are surely enough prisoners in Montreal gaols, imprisoned for minor offences, who might be made todo something for their support on.the roads, instead of loafing in comparative idleness in Castle Payette.at of to \u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014 IMPORTANT.- When you visit or leave New York City, via Grand Central Depot, Save Baggago Express- age and $3 Carriage Hire, an stop at the {Grand Union Hotel, opposite sa d Depot.1600 elegant rooms fitted up at a fiost of one \u2018million dollars, 3 and upwards per day.\u2018European Plan.Elevator.Restaurant sup \u2018piled with the best.Horse oars, stages and 'elevated railroad to all depots, Familles can (live better for less money at the Grand Union | Hotel than at any other first-class hotel in the |° y.notably in Memphis, Tenn.,\u2014the short | POLICE NOTES.The Recorder's Court\u2014-Sixtecen Carters in Trouble\u2014-The Police Court, but Yery Little Business Doing.Saturday, from the appearance of the sheet, which contained thirty-one names, should have been a busy day for his wor ship the recorder, but subsequent proceedings made it turn out rather dull, the business being put through with a rush, and in a remarkably short space of time.The largest portion of the sheet was taken up with the names of sixteen carters who had been summoned to appear, charged with dumping ice and snow on Delorimier avenue.The men, who were in the employ of the City Passenger railway Co., were let off for this time with a reprimand, as they did not know they had been committing an offence against the city by-laws.Moise Daignault had been arrested on a warrant by Sergeant Nelson, on the charge of aggravated assault on a carter.His case was put off until tomorrow, the accused being admitted to personal bail.Auguste Guillemette had bee.arrested on a charge of as sault, but he managed to settle with the prosecuting parties, and the charge was withdrawn.Bridget Hogan was charged with assaulting Marie Bois.She was fined $5 or one month gaol with hard labor.John Holliday was arrested on a warrant for drunkenness, and as the officers had consideaable trouble in finding him he was fined $5 or two months gaol.A rather complicated case then occupied his worship\u2019s attention, and closed the business of the moruing.The case was that of a man partly insane and of unknown nationality who had been brought in on the charge of vagabondage.An attempt was made to call him to the front, but as his name was an unknown quantity this was a failure, and two policemen had to assist in bringing him forward; an attempt to question him was likewise a failure, and then the linguists of the court were brought into requisition, but they might have saved their wind, as they, too, failed to get an answer.At last his worship, in despair, sentenced him to a fine of $1 or two months.It is needless to add that he went down.Police Court.In the above court on Saturday there were only four cases, two of these were children, Telesphore Godbout and Thomas Godbout, fur being without proper protectors, were sent to the school of industry for one and two years respectively.Before Mr.C.A.Dugas, P.M., Francis Larin, for selling liquor on Sunday, was fined $30 and costs or three months goal.Michael Murphy, charged with Jarceny concluded the list.He was found guilty, but sentence waa suspended, the court being closed at 1.30 p.m.: EBRSKINE CHURCH.Rev.J, 8.Black\u2019s Farewell Sermon.There was a crowded congregation at Erzkine church last evening, when the Rev, J.8.Black preached his farewell sermon, The Rev.gentleman took his text from 2 Cor., xiii, 14: \u2014 * Finally, brethren, farewell, be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with you.\u201d Last words, he said, were usually\u2018sad, but, though sad, they might be made hopeful and comforting.Having passed in review the ten years of his pastorate, the work accomplished and the changes that had taken place in that time, he referred also to the growth of the church in other denominations in the city and Dominion.He spoke of the regret with which he would leave the good city of Montreal, than which, he said, it would be difficult to find one in which more fraternal feeling existed among all the Protestant clergy and among the churches which they represented.Wordy wars had given place to peace, which was the road to union.The remainder of the sermon was pastoral and addressed to the congregation of Erskine church.It concluded as follows:\u2014\u201c I go, but thought is free, and often shall fancy carry me back to the noble mountain and the great broad river and the pleasant homes and the genial friends of this gond city, and in the very heart ofall these pleasant things must ever be this church and this pulpit.IF there were no sad partings, there would be no glad meetings.I go supported by the Hope that I may meet many of you in the future.Even 1f there is to be no meeting on earth, there will be one in heaven.\u201d Messrs.Drysdale & Co.,it is understood, will issue the sermon in pamphlet form iu the course of a day or two, so that friends and others who were unable to hear Rev.Mr.Black\u2019s farewell discourse last evening will have an opportunity of perusing it.THE LATE MRS.BOWELL.Meeting of Condolence at the Custom= House.The customs officials at this port held a meeting on Saturday afternoon in the col lector\u2019s office to pass resolutiens of condolence with the Hon.Mackenzie Bowell on the death of Mrs.Bowell.The meeting was well attended and represented all branches of the establishment.The collector, Mr.M.P.Ryan, was called to the chair, and Mr.W.J.O'Hara requested to act as secretary.The resolutions\u2014the first moved by Mr.John Lewis, séconded by Mr.Francis Crispo ;
