MARKET REVIEW.
. THURSDAY, MarcVM, 1892. .
March bo far has given an increase of
traffic in all lines over the corresponding
period of last year, and trade in general
has been quite satisfactory in compari
son with other spring business. Prices
are of an nnusal character in merchan
dise, save in staple groceries, as for in
stance, sugar advanced on half a cent
- per pound a week ago, but today- is not
as firm and shows a downward tendency.
Coffee is very firm, and an advance is
expected, owing to the unsettled condi
tion of affairs in Central America and
' Brazil. It will not be surprising if it
should be quoted several marks higher
at an early date. - .. -
In the produce market there is noth
ing worthy of mention as it is well sup-
, plied and prices are nominal.
The wheat market report are as usual,
week, with ho encouragement for an
advance in prices, but on the contrary,
a decline.
: The wool market is without interest,
, some reports come in that the stock on
hand of last year's clip in eastern
markets, has not been all sold and there
ib no present prices given for the new
clip which will be of an excellent qual
ity, and much larger than that of last
year in our wool district. Present
prices are low, and as a last year buyer
said, will remain low, with no prospect
of a realization of last year's prices.
Our review is unchanged in corrections,
as last week's quotations contain with
the present. Eggs are a little short of
Supply, but prices are the same. - -
There is some inquiry for fat primed
beef cattle, also for mutton sheep at

What a Baby Ild iu One Hour.
Uncle WilL the good natured bachelor
of the family, was left in charge of the
baby one day while every one else was
out, and out of curiosity he made a list
of what the baby did in one hour. Here
it is: - I
Yelled fifteen minutes without taking
breath. (Uncle Will declares solemnly
that this is a true statement.) '
Pulled out enough hair from his uncle s
head and whiskers to stuff a sofa pillow.
Crocked the wall . paper as high as he
could reach with the poker.
Broke a stereoscope by sitting down
on it.'
Swallowed six buttons and a good
part of a spool of thread.
. Emptied the contents of his mother's
workbasket down the furnace register.
- Tried to squeeze the head of the cat
into a tin cup, and was scratched badly
in the attempt.
Knocked the head off of a fine wax
doll belonging to his older sister by try
ing to drive a tack into "a toy wagon
with it. - .
Fell off the edge of the whatnot and
brought down with him two costly vases
which were ruined. ' .
Broke two panes of window glass with
a cane which uncle let him have.
Fell into the coalhod and spoiled, his
new white dress. -
Set fire to the carpet while uncle was
out of the room hunting up something to
amuse him. -
Crawled under the bed and refused to
come out unless uncle would give him
the molasses jug. ,
Got twisted into the rungs' of a' chair
which had to be broken to get him out.
Poured a pitcher . of water into his
mother's best shoes.
Finally, when he saw his mother com
ing, he ran out to the porch and tumbled
joff the steps, making his nose bleed and
tearing a hole a foot square. in his dress.
And yet Uncle Will thinks that boy
will mak something yet. Youth's Com
panion. -T
