On the whole the giialityyis good. The Baldwin is alight yield; so:are Spies and Twenty -ounce. Kings andBendavis are fairly plenli• fol ; Russets are it full crop, and Green- ings • the best crop probably of all. Snows of good 'quality are scarce, as usual. Early . apples are a good crop. After a couple of off years, the Duch- ess is again very plentiful, and 75c a barrel is what the farmers realize for these. The price for winter apples is, not expected to be high. Pears and plums are an unusually light crop. RAILWAY RATES.—At a recent meeting of the Railway Commission, the question of rates over the Guelph- 'Goderich line was considered. The 0. P. R. has asked the. Board to ap- prove a standard tariff of passenger' rates, and this standard tariff would empower it to• charge as much as 31-3 cents a mile. The case is not settled, 'but it is understood thatthe-chief traf- fic officer,Mr. i3ardwell, reported against this ,proposal, advising that the maximum, rate be 3 cents a mile, as on other railways, and that it be un- derstood that this ling is to be'subjecr, with all others in the Dominion, to the general review of passenger rates which in Railway Commission circles is believed to be inevitable before long. , An early decision may be expected. on assisted by Rev, W.

A Sliglit Mistake .. Mr. Dowding, the popular and good-' looking manager of the Molsons, • was standing on the street Monday morn- .ing, when a stranger with a week's growth of beard on , his face, ap- proachedand. said "Aintyou doing business to -day ?" 'Why, no," courteously replied Mr. Dowding, "this is Civic Holiday . but; is there anything I. can do for you ?• • "Well, "I. want to get shaved, And I thought you'd be inthe shop." Mr; Dowding smiled 'and informed the other thathe wasnot in that line of •.business. As Mr. Dowding re- sembles in appearance two of the ton- sorial artists in town, the mistake was auatural one. ' .
