Weather news for the week might be
summed up as rather bullish, and the
Giles report was certainly bulliSh, but
this was offset by the movement Of new

the new crop that gives cause TO the
confident that the crop will be small and
that general conditions favor the bull
side.

more disposition to look to Texas for de-

of lettering his condition. 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy TO become wealthy on
Canadian lands And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says;
Tho quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries, In
the total of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,S47 of high
grade stuff, a percentage of Si.2S, For
January the percentage was S2.2l, and
for the six months It was SSG. This
is an unusually high average, and II
demonstrates beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how TO
grow frstClass wheat. The crop of
1905 was considered good enough, and
its average of contract wheat was
only 70 per cent. Good weather
throughout the season was an impor-
tant factor of course, in insuring the
high quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences OF
so favorable a character viii be en-
countcrcd for a long time to come
The best that can be expected is that
a fair average for a term OF years
