GERALDINE STOCK MARKET.

I At tho Geraldjne old yards yesterday I there was a yarding of about 4000 sheep, 40 head of cattle, and a few pigs. Tho attend ance was not so large as usual, owing, no doubt, to the web morning. The sale was better than laab week by Is per head in sheep. Prices realised were: Sheep—Two tooth crossbred ewes a.nd wethers 13s fid, two-tooth balfbred ewes 12s 1J to 14s 91, aged ewes §3 &d to 10s 7d, lambs 9s Id to 10s 2d, backward crossbred wethers IGa 3d, half bred crossbred wethers 11s 21, forward crossbred wethers 12s 6d to 14a 6<3 ; rams— Shropshire* Ig, Lincolns £3 to Ig, Leicestera 'IK to 2£gs. Cattle—Springing heifers £2 10s to £4, steers £3 ss, calves 10a, yearling 40a. . : j

Sir W. McCormack, in one of hia letters, I mentions a case of a ballet being extracted < as a very rare thing in South African ex perience. The bullets do nob lodge ; they ] go right through. j An old Cbinampn at Hongkong has given < £500 to the war fund. j The Canadian patriotic fund now amounts bo 60,000 dollars. Some of the contributions are from the United States. \ Pitiful stories are received at Maseru continually (saya a Renter' message) of in offensive persoes in the Free State, who are j forced to the front, and there placed in the most dangerous positions to be shot down I by their own countrymen. A Durban civilian at the front, writing to a friend in town, throws a light on the simple method the Boers have on counting their losses* " The beggars," he says «• did j not mean to bury their dead, and the second day Colonel Bowles aent out a fhg of truce to arrange an interview between himself and their leader. He proved to be Potgeiter, the Secretary for War in the Orange Free State, and he said, with great naivette and seeming good faith, ' Oh, we have only lost one man, and we didn't think we need trouble to aend a burying party out for him'; but when they did send out they were grieved to find thirty-seven people who would ehoot no more."
