CATTl.U There was a slight gain In tin.
cattle receipts , as compared with yester
day , but a falling off as compared with u
week IIKO. As has been the rule of late
Rood cattle were scarce , the receipts con
sisting for the most part of warmed up
cattle , butchers' stock and feeders.
The market on bi-ef stitro was slow , as
was the case yesterday , but it the name
time fully steady , and In the end the olter-
Intrs were practically nil talif-n.
The market on butchers slock wa * actlvu
and the demand large enough to effect an
early clearance. The prices paid were
strong HH compared with yesterday.
The good demand for stoekers and fcvd-
crs noted yesterday continued today and
the market was a llttlo stronger and
active. The offerings nearly nil changed
hands early and the grade on that kind of
cattle was In a very satisfactory condi
tion. Representative sales :

< Y RICHAKD A. McCURDY , President ,
Who will pay that mortgage
on your home if you die before
It's lifted ?
A life insurance policy will
do it , and the cost to you is
only the annual premium paid
to the company. It is like pay
ing a little extra interest on
your mortgage to insure its re
lease if you die.
The resources of the Mutual
Life of New York exceed the
combined capital of all the na
tional banks of New York City ,
Chicago , Boston , Philadelphia ,
St. Louis , Cincinnati and Balti
more.
A duty delayed is a duty
shirked. Let a man convinced
of responsibility secure adequate
protection and-at once.
