The deliveries Of Wheat from the growers have in
creased to the extent anticipated which appears To have
been caused by the very unsatisfactory yield from thu
straw. The thrcshing machines have certainly been in
active operation IN most parts of the country Tor several
weeks past aud the late fall in the value of Barley has
induced farmers thresh Wheat in preference Spring
Corn. From all the accounts have been able col.

The supply is close hand, and the MAJOR mart will
