As means Of fun ther relieving the sit

The principal feed imported is rolled
barley, which comes here from Port

This feed costs the farmer S27 a ton,
and as a ton Of it is worth more foI
stock generally than a ton OF oats, the
barley is being purchased by farmers
who must buy iced of some kind.
Dealers say that barley at s27 is s5

the Eastern Greg feed can be

none to sell. FTuitgrowers, hopgrow-

They have been accustomed to buy
