ST. PAUL PRODUCE.

The week in produce has been characterized
by very steady and healthy tone and higher
grades Of butter. The receipts were about
equal to the demand, and this has kept the
prices from varying. The extra creameries
were taken at the quotations. The egg mar
ket has also been firm in its tone, and there
was light lift in the price for best quality
about the middle of the week. There is a
disposition among the traders to take all they
can get of superior stock at these prices. A
good jobbing demand exists, and there are
many inquiries from shippers. Eggs are be-
ing bought freely here for speculative and
storage purposes.
Green vegetables are active and the supply
has kept pace with the demand, while there
have been no perceptibe fluctuations in price
The fruit market is well supplied and prices
are pronounced very good by dealers The
strawberry season is about over, and, 50 far
as the quality of the stock is concerned, 1t
may be said that there have been few years
of late in which poor product came to
this market. Raspberries and bluebsrries
are coming in freely and command fair prices
The general trade is very satisfactory In
point of activity to all the dealers.

A NOTE OF WARNING.

The American Horse Breeder gives a note
of warning to horse breeders which we all
begin to realize is timely, If not too late
to remedy the evil of the great sacrifice OF
so many Of our best and stations,
that we must now begin again at the bottom
and grade up to supply our own wants on the
farm and the increasing city markets and
export trade:
An observant man and conservative writer
has sounded a note of warning On the sub
1ect OF our export trade in horses. In selling
the cream OF our brood mares and stations
to foreigners. he says the future supply OF
high class horses In this country will be SO
depicted that instead of being abe to pro-
duce horses enough to meet the hcme demand
we shall have to go abroad to purchase, and
he has not spoken TOO soon on the subject,
for taking the experience of the past as
guide for the future, he is perfectly right In
our brief experience we recall that to
meet the demand for high class park horses,
buyers rushed into Western Ontaiio, which
at one time contained a plentiful supply of
this kind Of horses, and farmers, in haste to
make hay while the shone, sold off their
best brood mares with the produce, and as
consequence had nothing left to breed
from. Today that section of the country is as
barren of first class park horses as any other
part of the continent. They killed the goose
that laid the golden egg, and if breeders of
the trotter don't watch out they'll do the same
thing in this country. "-EXchange.

STORAGE SEASON BEGUN.

In our reports from the markets through
out the country generally we find that a
considerable amount of butter is going into
storage at the present time, with an inquiry

successful in placing goods last year and

GALvESTON's EXPORT OF CATTLE,

report from Galveston, Tex, says: "The
initial shipment Of 250 Kansas, Texas and
Missouri steers, made by way of Galveston
to Cardiff. England, distance of 1850 miles,
has just arrived at its point of destination
in such excellent order that the citizens of
Cardiff as well as those interested in the ship
ment are considerably elated that a trade in
live cattle has at last begun between the
United States and that city. The project has
been under consideration for some years, the
desired point of embarkation always having
been Galveston. This initial shipment has
been carefully watched by the officials of the
department at Washington, and the bureau
dispatched an inspector to Cardiff to investi-
gate thoroughly the facilities there for the
Importation of live cattle from this coulrtry."

OUTLOOK FOR HOGS

L. N. Bonham, of Ohio, says In the Ohio
Farmer he thinks the outlook for good hogs
is better than for cattle or sheep. If 1t is,
then the hog grower occupies a very strong
position. Sheep are going to be strong b.
cause farmers are striving to increase their
focks. Hence eve lambs and old ewes will
be largely held over and bred. OF course the
continuance of the war with Spain means a
heavy demand for all classes of pork pro-
ducts-barreled pork, bacon and hams. The
latter will not be issued as rations, but sold
to officers,

PRICES OF SPRING LAMBS.

Spring lambs are higher now than they
have been for years at this season of the
year. In local parlance, they are "out of
sight" The demand for lambs for several
months has been exceptionally good, but
when Colorados were coming freely spring
lambs were scarce. The latter commenced
about where the former left off. and though
supplies have been fairy large, the demand
as rule was larger. Country buyers should
bear in mind that this is a class of trade
that is liable to collapse most any day.
Very ordinary lambs are now selling at SEQ
$40, and there is no telling how fast they
would decline if the market should become
panicky. The point is that there should be a
big margin in buying this class of lambs, I'M
less shippers want to take big chances

PACKING CANADIAN RITTER

Consul Lotion S. Hunt, in his report to the
state department, tells of the method of the
packing and marking of butter from Canada
to the dealers in Manchester and other large
cities in England:
Weekly consignments of creamery butter
are being exported from this district at pres
ent to commission brokers in Manchester and
other English cities. The butter is being put
up in new pine boxes. nearly square and
lined with oiled paper, each box containing
56 pounds The boxes are constructed about
three-fourths of an inch wider all around at
the top (Which is screwed on), in order to
permit the contents being easily shaken there
from by the consignees, who weigh nothing
but the butter. The weight of the contents
of the lightest box in each consignment is
taken as the average weight per box of the
whole Thus, great care is necessary, in or
der that the full quantity shall be packed
therein. Coverings of bagging opened at the
top and gathered with a stout string are
made for each box, to keep the packages per-
fectly clean for ultimate distribution
English dealers are insisting upon every
particular Of the foregoing details being car
ried out. In pursuance of recent legislation
boxes are all marked with the name of the
maker and the number of the factory: and
the bagging is marked with the initials of the
maker, government number and country of
production
