quite moderate, and the feature of the week was
in Wheat,.which shows slump of about zoe as
compared with last weeks figures, cash Wheat
closing to-day at 85c. same as yesterday, but
July and September were lower. Flour is very
much unsettled owing to the radical change in
Wheat; there i, little or no demand and it is
difficult to make quotations; our prices are as
low as Flour can be quoted on the present cost
of Wheat. Corn and Oats are rather easy in
tone, but unchanged in price. Sugar strong
with more doing; higher prices are looked for
Teas are tirmer owing to the war tax put on of
1oc; jobbers generally are caught with light
stocks. Tobacco of all kinds firm and higher
Old Potatoes weak and selling at 60 to zoe in
Jobbing way: new Potatoes are more plentiful
with declining tendency. Eggs for firm for
strictly choice at Ice. Poultry dull and lower:
receipts quite large. Lemons higher Onions
steady and unchanged. Hay easy under the in
fiuence of favor BILE crop reports. Linseed Oil
is off lc. Lead Pipe and Sheet lower. In drugs.

cautiously be peered from his hiding place,
then tremblingly orouched back in the
darkness. The enemy was near, the cruel,
the heartless enemy. But, look the enemy
is retreating Yes, with a loud parting
bang. the enemy had retreated. Now all
was safe, and he boldly advanced from the
dark corner and cried to his companion,

she flew to his arms, for her papa had just
slammed the door and gone out to his
