Trading was barely able to take care of the daily receipts which trickled in. The market closed Mon- day with almost 5,000 head of cattle unsold. The cattle run of 5,700 head was 1,100 more than for the same week last year. Throughout the week trade re- mained slow as low grade cows, can- ners and cutters featured uneven buying. Tuesday saw a narrow out- let for better quality butcher cattle but at prices as much as $3 lower. On cattle generally prices were fully $2.50-$3 or more lower for the week. Stocker cattle moved slowly at barely steady prices and too few were sold actually to establish a market. Included in the run were 1,800 stockers, 1,100 of which were western. A large carry over of stockers and butcher cattle is an- ticipated, A few better quality cattle sold at the following prices: weighty steers $18-$21.85; butcher steers $16-$20. Heifers ranged from $15-$19.50 with an odd top of $20. The bulk of good cows sold at $13.50-$14.50 with a few light heifer cows selling up to $15.50. Fed yearlings were $12-$21 with extreme tops at $22. Stockers sold at $13-$18 with the bulk of good animals at $16-$17.50. Ordinary quality ,milkers and springers were $100-$160 each. A | few grass cows sold from $0-$13. Calves totalled 2,400 head. Choice vealers opened strong at $21.50- $23.50 cwt, but by midweek an easier feeling was noticed. Plain to medium calves sold slower near the close of the week at barely steady prices. Hogs were 2,500 head and were strong throughout the week with prices advancing $1.25 a hundred- | weight with grade A selling at $31.75 and grade Bl at $31.35. Sows | advanced $2 to $23 dressed. Sheep and lambs 'were 1,700 head. Good spring lambs averaging 85 pounds sold steady at $25 a hund- redweight. Good light sheep sold steady at $9-$10 with good heavies slow at $6-87. Cull sheep were $5- $6 hundredweight.

By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The Russian drive to gain control of Germany remains the biggest and most dangerous international issue--not a threat of impending war but a breeder of grim potenti- alities. The three western powers of oc- cupation, Britain, the United States and France, view the situation gravely. The British cabinet Fri- day was called into special session for the third time in 24 hours and Foreign Secretary Bevin - rushed back to London from a badly need- ed vacation at the seaside, The immediate concern was for the some 2,000,000 inhabitants of! the American-British-French zones of Berlin whom the Russians are trying to starve out by cutting rail transport. Bevin told parliament that a "delicate state of affairs" exists in the blockaded capital. This diabolical scheme of crudlty against a helpless civilian popula- tion is, of course, part of the Red campaign to force the western Sailor Arrested In Ship Incident Cornwall, June 26--(CP)--Charles Hurst, a C.8.U. picket, was arrested by R.C.M.P. here Friday on a charge of disorderly conduct after he hurl- ed a bottle at the C.S.L. freighter Hastings in Cornwall canal. A similar charge was placed Fri- day against Leo Cartier, another picket, for hurling stones at the CS.L. Maple Heath, Both men have been released on $100 bail bonds. The arrests brought the number of C.S.U, men charged here to eight, All are scheduled to appear in court Monday. A mass meeting is scheduled for Sunday night at which Harry Davis, C.8.U. President, will be chief speaker. AUTO HITS TRUCK An auto driven by John Purdie, 298 Front Street, last night collided with a truck parked on the south side of Avenue Street, at about mid- night.

France naturally is uneasy, since she would, so to speak, be sitting under the big guns of the Russians if actual fighting should develop. She is too exhausted from the war to 'contemplate any such develop- ment complacently. However, she has joined Britain and the United States in making it clear that the three democracies don't intend to be pushed out of Berlin, This new Bolshevist move in Germany, inaugurated as the result of a Red meeting held in Warsaw under direction of Russian Foreign Minister Molotov, symbolizes only too graphically the division between Communism and democracy. But supposing the western pow- ers did withdraw from Berlin and let the Bolshevists establish their state in Eastern Germany -- what then? Well, to repeat comment in a previous column for one thing it would complete the division of Germany. This would be a griev- tion, since pre-war Germany was the keystone of European contin- ental economy. A unified and pros- perous Germany is vital if Europe is to recover in a reasonable length of time, Then there is another aspect. The Germans naturally want a united Germany, and establishment. of a separate state in the rich Soviet zone, with revered Berlin as its capital, would be calculated to pro- vide a strong lure to persuade the people of Western Germany to strive for unity, even if it be under Russian domination, WANTED A home for a boy of 16, (Collegiate Student) of Mission- ary Parents.

Coal miners will have $1 a day additional in their pay envelopes beginning July 1, when the new contract becomes effective. The pact between the operators and John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers, also calls for setting up a $100,000,000-a-year welfare and pension fund. The steel industry, which owns the so= called "captive" mines, did not sign the new contract because a spokes- man for the steel firms said it vio« lated the Taft-Hartley Act. The producers who made the con= tract with Lewis mine 400,000,000 tons annually. Coal men estimated the new agreement will result in a boost in the eost of coal from 75 cents to $1 a ton.
