600 acres of wheat bythat frost.
The crops tire_ all two weeks late.
They have not caught up a day of the
late start,and cutting will not be gen-
eral until the second week in Septem-
ber, so that there is stilla big chance
of the grain being injured hy, frosts,
but^the wheat is all past the "milk
stage" and a frost will only prevent
the kernel from filling nut and would
not spoil it for heed or for milling pur-
poses. It will, therefore, be a conimer-
clal product, and "frozen" wheat will
this year sell for as much as the No, 1
last year. f am. however, counting

Serious Losses to Farming.
In 'the partial crop !enure .which
Wei the Province of On trio this year
and the Canadian West, Canadian. far -
niers are • netatone in not obtaining
the usual returns for their arduous la-
bors. The hest itifortnation would in-
dicate that this is.•an off` year, almost
throughout the world, in crops. Th'ro-
tighout Europe t he•conditions are any-
thing but favorable,: and Rtissi,en re•
ports are.tinged in the most pessimis-
tic Rtratin) - .
There is this'satisfaction, that lower
yields will bepartly recompenser} for
by it,higher-range of prices., In Ontario
for instance, wheat is now selling at
!flca bnshel higher than it was at, this
time last year. Oats are easily 10c
higher, and • bailey will bitug nearly
the same advance.
The prevailing opinion is that the
incoming winter will he one of excep-
tionally high prices for nearly all the
commodities that, enter into home con-
sumption. The Ontario farmers will
suffer a distinct loss from that of last
year and several pi evious.years is now
a Foregone conclusion, President Mc.
Ewing of the Ontario Farmers' Asso-
ciation estimates that this will run into
as high es 880,00000; This amount
may possibly be overdrairn, but if his
estimate is anywhere near the correct
figure, it represents a stupendous loss
to•tbe whole conrinunity. which can
only be made good by curtailing in all.
br snches of business.•
The advance in the prices of allthe
cereals is a total denial of the opinion
.which some would advocate, that an
average crop is to be reaped. Wheat.,.
corn and oats have advanced, and are
advancing, by leaps and bounds in the
speculative market.
At Chicago yesterday, on. top of the
recant advance,wheat rose 2c a bushel
corn over lc a ushel and oats nearly
2c a lrushal• For the latter two cereals
these are nearly record prices on. this
market for.this time of the year.
When it is considered that the tight -
begs of the money market compels
forced selling on the part of tnany'Iar-
niers, it nitist headmitted that there'
is a substantial foundation for the
present range of high priceu for these
,commodities.
