The weather conditions were very IA
vorable all over the spring wheat coun-
try. and the weather prediction was
for satisfactory conditions. Receipts Of
spring wheat are increasing. and the
grading shows exceptionally high con
dittons. On the break there was a
moderate business for export-about
700, 900 bushels. almost entirely Manitoba
wheat-owing to the big discounts. A
report from the Canadian Northwest es-
timated 10000. 900 bushels export sur
plus, against $4,000. 900 exported in the
past year and 1872. 600, 900 bushels the

day. Very favorable weather conditions
were reported for maturing the crop,
while the prediction was favorable for
the weather over the holidays. Sell
ing was quite persistent. Receipts OF
corn, however. continued small. Flo the
entire week they have been $500, 900
bushels less than for the corresponding
time Last year. Expectation OF a big
crop. together with the extraordinary
conditions regarding general foodstuffs
and rough forage are making a situa-
ton where prices are quickly responding
to the selling pressure.
The oats market was quiet and lower,
closing at a small net decline. There
was not much pressure on the market,
owing to the good Eastern business in
oats and the recent large export sales
Purchases for the day were estimated
at 400. 900 to 100000 bushels. Western
receipts were very heavy. amounting &c
10, 200. 900 bushels for the week. or q

shipments were 1905 900 bushels more

early. followed later by a recovery. Hogs

LONDON, oct. 1.-The addresses Of
Premier Asquith and Lord Kitchener
before a conference Of labor executives
on Wednesday have beer the subject
OF many rumors.
The Manchester Gudrdin In its issue
of yesterday printed what II said was
an authentic account of the main points
of Lord kitchener's speech. According
to this account the Secretary for War
said that he preferred voluntary enlist
ment to consumption but that although
he already had raised enough men for
the new army the recruits were INSULT
cient to replace wastage. He suggested
a plan of his own, which he said had
rot been authorized by the Government
and had not even been submitted to the
Cabinet, providing for the adoption Of a
militia ballot. such as was in force in
the NapoleOnic wars and similar to the
measures taken by the United States In
the second year OF the civil war. in
volving ~compulsion in those districts
where volunteering had failed to provide
the necessary quota.
Premier Asquith's speech at the ron
ference Is represented by the Guardian
as impressing his hearers that ne would
resign rather than consent TO COM
pulsory service The Guardian adds
that this impression was exaggerated and
did not represent the Premier's real atti-
tude.
