Yesterday's livestock market was a dull hffair. There was nothing doing until shortly before noon, and then only two sales of hogs were made. These were lack ing in quality, and did not command top prices. The market was reported as steady throughout. Late Monday afternon hogs scored a further advance of 5 cents, making the jump for the day 35 cents ana placing the top at $7.25.- The market was the third highest in the United States. St. Louis led, with Chicago second and Portland third. Kansas City and Omaha were tied for fourth, and Denver was at the bottom of the list with 7 cents as top. Seattle, which has been proclaiming a higher market daily than Portland, failed to get in the swim on its direct bought stuff yesterday, and with a top of $7.25 here their quotation was $7.15. , ; ' FRUIT . ; Bananas 30c and 35c dozen.

This question is engaging the atten tion of British medical authorities following the regiBtar-General's re port that all records for boy balnea born in 36 large towns in Englasd and Wales have been broken during the lost nine months. A against 1000 female .births, 1,032 boys were born in January and March;-1,043 in April and June and 1,065 in July and August and Septem ber. Advance records indicate that the ratio will be even greater from October to January, 1916. A theory that some natural law, yet undis covered, lends to the birth of more boys than girls during a nation's war stress is partially borne out by re ports from Austria, where male births have exceeded female births during the war, to an even greater extent than in England. Professor W. D. Halliburton, Dean of Medicine at King's college, London, discussing the subject, declared to day that there is no scientific theory to justify the belief. "The fact is there," he stated. "We must look upon it ns a wise uispen srition of Providence. One popular explanation is that the r.nxiety or privation of the mother during the pre-nat period has some influence on determining the sex of her child. But no scientific explanation war rants such an idea." Prfessor Arthur Dendy of the Zoological arid Animal Biologic-ul faculty, King's College declared that prevailing birth con ditions could not be attributed to mere coincidence. He was unable to ex plain further. . Offioiul reports made public by the Registrar-General also said that the marriage rate for England and Wales during the lost three months was the highest in history 21.8 persons per 1,000.
