Some of the linost spceimens of this typo of cow were to he seen on Tuesday, ami if one wanted to see signs of returning pros- jierity to Itihhlosdale, one had only to visit the Auction Mart to .sec the sjilendid stock olfercd and the tremendous crowd of buyers. At the dairy sliow iliere are not so many spectators as at the Christma.s fat stock show, when it is no surprising tiling to see the ring crowded beyond comfortable capacity. Tlie attemhiiice at tliis year's <lairy show, however, was equal to that of a fat stock .show day and so crowded was

On Monday all records were broken as far as entries and quality were concerned. Jn iaet, it is not too much to say that tlic all-rouml ijuality of the cattle scon at this year's .>bow, held on Tuesday, reached a jiigliei* level tliau has ever been seen at tlio .niart. 3loreover, and this fact is tlie more important, a genuine demand was notice­ able in the sale ring for tlie better quality ol cattle. The fanner is becoming more optimi^tie. Possibly the result of the election may have influenced the trade, the iarmcr liaving dcrivc<l eonfideiice from the return of the Cioveniiuent, Whatever may be the cause, tlio tone was high and bidding was always hri>k for good stock. Jn the show ring the classes were .stronger than they have ever been, another healthy sign rclloctiiig the intense pride the farmer takes in the po.ssossion of a worthy dairy cow.

milk-producing centres of the North-AVest, and progressive and enterprising auction marts are as necessary to that industry as are cotton oxohanges to the cotton trade, Tho Clitheroe Auction Alart is thoroughly progressive. Throughout the period of the depression the directors, with Air. JOnocIi AVhitehead at their head, never failed to jnirsue a sound policy of advancement, wisely realizing that lliere was a turning point ahead. The .soundness of their policy is rellecleil now in the ability of the mart to cope with the incrcase«l demands being made upon it. Air. IC. Ciiester continues to fulfil most oflicieiiily the exacting duties of .sccretai*}' to the company, and his advice Jins ever hecn of tlic mo^^t satisfactory character. Air. Tom Silverwood and Air. Sam JJerry arc as keen aiietionoers as one could hiiiie to find and they know how to sell a cow when it comes into the riug. TIktc is ample m*coinniudation for beasts and a splendid band of men under Air. A. AValmslov to tend the animals and marshal them for the sales. With sm-li a capital staff throughout, it is little wonder that tin* ilirectors have been able to can*y tlie jiiart llirough to success and to establi'‘h for it such a fine reputation in the noiTli. A plea>ing feature is the eneourng<*ineiit whieh is being given to the larnier to breeil his own stock.
