LAKE TRAFFIC.—The extent of this 
trade is not well known by those somewhat 
distant from the great lakes on the north¬ 
ern boundary of the United States. The 
total area of these lakes is about 90,500 
square miles. During the 11 months end¬ 
ing with November, which generally closes 
through navigation, 77,408 arrivals of ves¬ 
sels were reported at lake ports, with a 
registered tonnage of nearly 71,500,000 net 
tons. The port of Duluth shows the 
heaviest tonnage, nearly 5,000,000 tons, fol¬ 
lowed closely by Milwaukee and Chicago. 
In number of arrivals Chicago was far in 
the lead, 6,500 vessels. There are 20 lake 
ports with a tonnage record of over 1 , 000,000 
tens.

MARKET NOTES 
EGGS.—A heavy decline is noted from 
last report, as much as four cents per 
dozen on higher grades. There is a de¬ 
cided increase in receipts from the South 
and Southwest. The better marks of stor¬ 
age eggs arc being held at former prices. 
There is little risk in keeping them longer. 
Holders want them to put on the market 
during the temporary shortages of fresh 
receipts which arc likely to occur between 
now and Spring. The market is generally 
unsettled, and dealers are very uncertain 
as to whether this drop will hold or prove 
only temporary. 
COLD WEATHER APPETITE.—Retail¬ 
ors in staple provisions find a noticeable 
increase in trade during a cold snap. A 
baker whose customers are mainly em¬ 
ployed at hard manual labor tells us that 
in continued cold weather his trade from 
regular customers sometimes jumps far 
beyond his calculations, so that he runs 
short where ordinarily he would have stock 
left over. This refers to bread rather than 
cake, and is caused by 25 or more hungry 
men eating an extra sliq^ of bread at each 
meal. This baker has a friendly feeling 
toward small blizzards and cold snaps gen¬ 
erally, as they mean a boom in his trade. 
CHEESE is making something of a rec¬ 
ord as regards price, as much as IPA cents 
being asked for State small fancy. These 
lun from 30 to 35 pounds. Those as small 
as 20 pounds sell even higher. 'Phese prices 
are above the reach of exporters. About 
the only export trade going on at present 
is in skims and common creams. Holders 
appear conlident and not anxious to sell. 
Small retailers in the manufacturing dis¬ 
tricts of this city sell very ordinary cheese 
for 20 cents per pound. This is used in 
sandwiches by liundreds of employees for 
the noon meal, and as a rule it is more 
wliolesome tlian the ham or other cheap 
meat sold for this purpose. 
HOP PRICES are more favorable than 
for a long time. High-grade State hops are 
held as high as 35 cents, and the tone of 
the market both in the East and on the 
I’acific coast is firm. Offerings are mod¬ 
erate, as growers appear to be holding for 
still higher figures. For several years the 
business was greatly overdone. Prices 
dropped below profitable production and 
liundreds of acres of hops were turned 
under. The market is now beginning to 
feel this shortage. If growers become wild 
over present prices and double their acre¬ 
age next year, 10 or 15-cent hops will soon 
be on hand again. This is not likely to 
happen, however, as growers understand 
the situation much better than special pro¬ 
ducers in some other lines. The hop mar¬ 
ket is a different affair from the apple 
market. In a year of great abundance 
people use more apples, thus keeping the 
price above the level to which it would 
otherwise drop, but the use of hops will 
not be much increased, no matter how 
abundant they are, and the price must 
slump accordingly. 
high-priced APPI>ES.—The following 
Irom The Mark Lane Express shows that 
the English market for choice apples is not 
ov'er-stocked: 
Put up in half-bushels, Cox’s Orang 
Pippins were making from 6 s. to Ss., am 
in some instances 10 s. a half. These ar 
excellent prices, for if anything like 4 s 
can be secured it pays well. Of course th. 
fruit has to be good to make any of th( 
'alues quoted, but the grower is cominj 
to learn tliat only good and best qualit: 
stuff is wanted if he is to make fruit grow 
ne pay, and hold his own against th( 
foreign producer.” 
i his was In the Kentish district, an( 
their preference for home-grown fruit wai 
shown by the fact that Kentish Cox’j 
Oiange sold for 2*4 times as much as thi 
choicest American apples in the Chrlstmai 
market. These prices are occasionallj 
BUTTER trade is dull. Prices have 
dropped three cents since the middle of 
January. Fresh creamery is plentiful and 
freely offered at 22 to 26 cents. As with 
eggs holders of choice marks of storage 
butter are not meeting the decline, evident¬ 
ly believing that before the flush season 
begins there will be sufficient short weeks 
so that they will be able to dispose of their 
holdings to better advantage than now. As 
we have said before a fair range for buttei 
prices is 20 to 25 cents, wholesale. The 
producer who makes good butter ought a I 
ways to get 20 cents, and, for the good of 
the market, it is doubtful whether ho 
should get more than 25 cents. Anything 
above this makes consurner.s use less but¬ 
ter, and the result is tha't trade is re¬ 
stricted, receipts pile up until a break in 
the market puts the price on a level that 
will make the average less than if the 25- 
cent mark had not been exceeded. There 
are exceptions to this, but it happens often 
enough to be noticeable. w. w. ij.

Is strong all over. No man can be 
strong who is suffering from indigestion 
or some other disease of the stomach and 
its associated organs of digestion and

Mr. Thomas A. Swarts, of Sub. Station C, 
Columbus, Ohio, Box 103 , writes; ”1 was taken 
very sick with severe headache, then cramps in 
the stomach and my food would not dige.st, then 
kidney and liver trouble and my back got weak 
so I could scarcely get around. The more I doc¬ 
tored tht worse I got uulil six years passed. I 
could only walk in the house by the aid of a 
chair, and I had given up to die. Then one of 
my neighbors said, ‘Take my advice and take 
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and 
make a new man out of yourself.’ The first bot¬ 
tle helped me and after I liad taken eight bot¬ 
tles in about six weeks I was weighed and found 
I had gained twenty-seven ( 27 ) pounds, and I 
am as stout and healthy to-day, I think, as I 
ever was.”

Gentlemen —1 purchased several bottles of “Save- 
the-Horse” Spavin Cure for myself and friends during 
the last four months. The first case on which 1 used 
it was a bad splint, and to my astonishment it not 
only took out the soreness but removed the si)lint. 
Second case—My brother-in-law had a valuable 
mare with a bone spavin, and at my suggestion ho 
tricl “Save-the-Horse”; in this case the bunch is not 
entirely removed, but all the soreness and lameness 
IS gone, and the mare travels as sound as a colt. 
Third case—I tried it on the well-known black pacer 
Alhambra, record 2:08)^. sired by Legal Tender Jr. 
This horse was lame when I purchased him. with a 
strained tendon on nigh hind leg. I tried all kinds of 
iiniment before using yours; yours at per bottle 
seemed a firetty high price; but 1 had to come U) it, 
as none of the other liniments had done any good. 
I used one aud a half bottles of ” Save-lhe-Horee,” 
and he seems to be entirely cured. 1 have him out 
every day, and hardly ever take a ride but ho gets one 
or I wo brushes before getting home. All I cun say Is 
that ■'Bave-the-llorse" has 
done splendid for me, and I 
know of nothing its equal.
