Y., April 28.—Trading at the Stock Exchange was light to-day, only 147.500 shares changing hands. During the early dealings the tendency of prices was upward, and prices ad- vanced anywhere from 1 102 per cent, the im- provement being most pronounced in the case of the Grangers, Consolidated Gas and the specialties. London bought the Grangers. and local coerators also purchased these siocks. The favorable earn- ings recently reported have had a stimuiating in- fluence. In the late traMing business picked up, but the increase was at the expense of values. Foreign houses were sellers of St Paul and other International stocks, the developments In South Africa having induced foreign liquidations. In the aggregate the sales for tnis account were light. Manhactan was rather heavy and fell from 1103 10 108@109%4. The deciine in the active railw. list ranged itom 14 to1 percent. In the indus triais sugar was the feature.

CHICAGO MARKETS. CHICAGO, Irr., April 28.—The wheat market lacked energy and vivacity to-day. Throngh the greater part of the session prices were confined within & quarter of a cent range, the absence of anything like importance in the trade being very marked. The influences controlling the feeling and sentiment were principally the Liverpool cables, which were lower: the weather, which was all that could be aesired for winter wheat and the Northwestern receipts, which were large. Outside orders were prominent by their absence and local operators were disposed to await delivery day. May 1, before attempting more than light scalping business. The Norihwestern arrivals were 642 cars, against 320 last Tuesday aud 540 a year ago. Chicago received 26 cars and 70,795 bushels were withdrawn from store. EXport clearances were fair at 278,466 bushels. Paris closing cables quoted b centimes decline for flour futures, with other prices uncnanged. Berlin was 14 to 1 mark higher, with Antwerp unchange i. ; Bradstreets reported a decrease in the world's available supply of 1,040,000 bushels.

Liver- pool cables were quiet Withdrawals from store amounted to 164,520 busheis. amounted to 431,635 bushels. Bradstree ported a decrease in aveilable stocks of 1,403 bushels.

LEATHER_The Eastern markets are thus re- flected by the Shoe and Leather Review: “Under the stimulus of the fine spring weather thereis a stronger feeling in all the Leather markeis. The Unlied States Leather Company and other buyers have bought Hides freely during the Iast few days. In our mid-week review we noted sales of about 18,000 Hides. and perhaps 50,000 have been sold since. These fignres, with 10000 to 20,000 sold at Kansas City, make a little short of 100,000 Hides disposed of this week. The big Leather company is buying Hides freely, and while a good desl of secrecy and mystery are thrown around ibe trades made, [n striking contrast to the brass-band meth- ods that were adopted & year ago, the fact remains that the company has its dragnet out and is gath- ering in the Hides in every direction.” Extra heavy Sole. 26@28c; heavy Sole, 27¢ for No. 1 and 25¢ for No. 2; medium So'e, 24@26c_for No. 1 and 22c B 1 for No. 2; Light Sol, 23@24c for No. 1, and 20@2zc @ b for No. 2; Harness, heavy, 30 3bc; do, medium, 28¢: do, light, 34@26¢; Houg) Leather, 18@20c; Kips, $40@45 ® doz; Calf, 70@90c: Rough Splits, 4@5c.

There are records of them much laler in Scotland. Reindeer were abundant in Scotland and were hunted in Caithness in the year 1150. Wild boars were numerous when large tracts of wood gave tnem harbor. They were hunted by the Tudors. They cer- tainly existed in the year 1617, and prob- ably much laier. The wolf in England disappeared about 1490. In Scotland wolves were numerous in 1577. According to Pennant they became | extinet in 1680.—Notes and Queries. e . The family of James B. McTaggart of Brooks, Me., is a remarkable one in the iact that the father and seven sons are all railroad men. e - THE CALL CALENDAR. APRIL. 1896.
