the arrest of the negroes who did the
shooting.

ST. PAUL PRODUCE.

The produce market during the past week
has been only fairly active, due, uadoubtei-
ly, to the prevalence of the hot weather and
the work of harvesting. Butter has BEEN
firm in all the dealings Of the week with a.
tendency to higher prices. This condition
has been largely due to the meagerness of the
offerings. A good shipping demand exists
for all classes Of . tier, the best request be-
ing for fancy grades. Mediums are also in
good demand, but there is little call for the
lower grades. Retail dealers have been good
purchasers. Eggs have been steady with re-
ceipts from day to day about equal to de-
mand and thereby preventing any advance n
fact there has been some easing eff in prices.
There is good shipping demand for eggs
and the local retailers are good buyers. There

MARKETING OF HAY.

The following advice is given by the Orange
Judd Farmer to those who are in doubt as to
what disposition to make of their hay:
Many farmers in the West are puzzled to
know whether to sell their new hay or hold
for possible advance later in the season.
This is question which everyone must de-
eide for himself In making this decision
however, it will be we'll to bear in mind the
fact that the. summer is not yet too far ad-
vanced to preclude the possibility of serious
drouth and need for more than the normal
amount of forage With existing low prices
for dairy products, and the depression in hay
for a twelve-month past. all of our ag-
gressive farmers recognize the wisdom of
keeping the farm we'll stocked with good an
imals, and thus utilizing much of the
products of the land, not to speak of the con-
servaton of soil fertility which this measure
suggests.

TWELVE MONTHS OF GOOD PRICES

In contemplating the higher level for some
OF the principal farm products, notably
wheat, during the past year, the point must
not be lost to view that the price advance
came sufficiently early to permit the grower
to secure large measure of profit there
from Too often, taking one year with an
other, the advance is secured after the crop
has left the farmer and is in second hands.
In this instance, however, the wheat advance
