And good cherries, too. They were brought to the city yesterday by W. W. Smith, whose farm Is five miles south at the city, and were sampled and found lacking in nothing save perhaps firmness of the meat. The cherries have been on the trees continuously since last June, says Mr. Smith. At that time the first and main crop was picked, but there were many blossoms on the trees then. The blos soming has continued throughout the summer, and until last night's freeze killed them, they were still there. With the constant blooming-has been the ripening of the fruit, and there has not been a day Bnce last June. Mr. Smith says, when ripe cherries could .not be picked from this tree. Money and Exchange.

Only one load of livestock, arrived to day that was available for market .Only one other load came forward and that was a direct shipment to a local killer. The change in the basis for hogs at points east of the Rockies today will have the effect of stopping any further declines in values here If the plans of leading interests carry. ' While further heavy runs of hogs in the local yards would nave a further de pressing effect that might possibly force another decline, still the ideas of the trade here are that values in. the east should be followed on their upward and downward flights, The Chicago market was a nickel higher for hogs this morning, tons mov ing off at $8 In a limited way. Run for the day was 11,000 head compared with 19.000 a year ago. Kansas City hog market was firmer with an advance of 60 to 10c over yes terday. Tops sold today at $7.95 with a run or 4uuu neaa.
