Prices have ranger from 81. O1 to 81. OF forNo.1
hard; No. 2 hard 96@9Sc: No. / regular 9O@93c;
prices have been uniformly S5c for No. 2; 9Oc
for NO. /. In the matter of wheat
it should be stated that GER
tain parties are advertising what is called
Saskatchewan wheatat very high figures for seed,
maintaining that it is the only pure fife in the
market. The GLOBE has seen samples of So
called Saskatchewan which is not an unmixedl
and pure fife, there being distinguished among
it several varieties and not little soft wheat On
the other hand, any wheat which will grade No.
1 hard at st. Paul or Minneapolis, may be count
ed on as being pure fife, and this can be bought
at third the price of the advertised pure stuff
No. hard is good enough for seed. Receipts, of
corn have fallen off little during the week,
being two cars less, and the market has been.
frmer. The corn coming in has been wholly new
mixed, No. 3 and condemned. There has been
no No. in market, and No. yellow has been
in active demand at 55c. The receipts of oats
have been more liberal and the demand less ac-
tive, consequently prices have been shade low
err OF the 81, 900 bushels received $500 only
went to the elevators, while 5000 were shipped
out-31 500 bushelswent direct to the consumer.
There has been and is aagood demand for barley;
the few cars received were sold
at once to consumers, the elevator
to the receipts and shipments the flour trade has
been slightly better; but business must still be
termed dull and prices have been reduced on all
grades. Very little has been doing in ground
feed, but as shipments are only made on orders
prices have been maintained. The receipts of
wild hay have been slightly less.
and consequently prices have stiffened a little.
Shippers generally bill cars on orders and are
feeling the advantage of their wise policy having
learned lesson from Cutting the market in the
early part of the season. Butter has improved
considerably receipts of roll and print in good
condition and sweet have Increased. The demand
for fine grades increasing. Beans have stiffened
slightly although receipts continue liberal The
poultry trade is nearly at an end. The receipts
are very limited and mostly of Oh bids
Country shippers should take caution that the
quoted prices for poultry at this market are
only for choice bids. There are instances-and
some have occurred the past week of shippers
sending in birds worn out and no longer fit for the
poultry yard-infated with wind and not well
dressed, expecting to get outside figures, naming
the GLOBE quotations as authority for their de-
mands when common sense and careful OBJ
servation of the quotations would prevent such
errors being made. Last WEEKS remarks will
equally well apply now to other produce. The
