effectually ended. but rather late TO

which Is heading very short In that
region. Wheat, oats and barley
have a splendid appearance, except
where there has been lodging and in
the dry section, but fears are ex-
pressed that there Is too much straw
for a full yield Of grain. There are u
few complaints of rust in wheat and
oats, and a lodging in small areas
due to local wind and rain storms. q.

REVENUE STAMPS ARRIVE.
The Bank Clerks Much Bothered in Meeting
the Demand.

The first of the regular war revenue
stamps arrived in this city. yesterday,
and were placed on sale at the Gardiner
and Merchants Banks. At present the
stamps are to be placed on sale at the
banks, although later on it is proposed
to have the druggists and post office keep
"A supply. The stamps arrived at the eX-
press office early in the day AMI were at
once carried to the banks to which they
were billed. No sooner had the stamps
been placed on sale than the stamp col
lectors began to call at the banks for
supply. In these cases the number asked
for was very small, the smallest demand
being for cents worth of the one-eighth
of cent stamps. All day long the deal
ers along the street We're calling at the
banks for supply. So many were the
demands for the stamps that the regular
business of the bank cashiers and clerks
was much hndered.
In addition to the bank clerks being
kept busy. the rubber stamp men had
more business than they could attend to
taking orders for stamps. According to
the new law, each stamp must be cam
celled with the name of the dealer and
the date of the cancellation. While this
cancellation may be done by means of a
pen, the majority of the dealers prefer to
do it by stamps, this being much easier
