steady prices for all kinds of butcher sniff but the prospects rrj hardly as good for stockers and feeders on account of the dullness in outside markets The local meat trade was active on Monday with a close clean up Indi cations seem to favor a good demand all the week owing to limited supplies Milch cows are quiet with a fair demand for the better grades of which very few conic 10 hand Common cows are hard to sell at any price Veal calves are in active demand and look like holding their own for some time to come owing to the active demand for stockers The outlook for sheep and lambs Is none too good at present owing to a growing dullness In all markets There seems to be a feeling gain ing ground among butchers everywhere that this class ot stuck is too high and they refuse to take bold freely until prices ease off There are mxny who believe that 1 rices are suru to gradually work lower as ths season advances and spring lambs become more abundant The de mand is for clipped stock and wool will not help the price rrmch for the remainder ot the season The provision trade saw an easy day on Mon day but It was 'settling for the May deni and the bull crowd look for better things later on Western receipts more liberal on Mon day than expected by many and the knowing ones are shaking their heads and quietly predict ing lower values before the close of the month just beginning

estate It is but a small estate of $10000 but the princi ple involved may concern many hundreds of thousand dollars The executor is Burton and ho insisted that the estate be spread upon the rolls if the sixteenth ward and not in the second as has been done The custom for many years past in Detroit has been to assess estates in the ward where the executors live or where the money is on deposit which has always re sulted in heavy valuation for the second ward in which are located the great ma jority of banking houses and the great of fice buildings the headquarters of the at torneys that handle most estate affairs Mr Burton said that he owned property In almost every ward in the city and he was interested in having the wealth of the city flattened out as much as possible Corpo ration Counsel lowers said that the law specified that estates should be assessed in the place where last lived the testator and that departures from this practice have been wrong The board will undoubtedly order the assessors to transfer the assess ment in the particular case from the second to the sixteenth ward and it may result in a general overhauling of the books In case Others come forward with
