Mr. Rollins was deep ly affected by their kind act, and al- though taken greatly by surprise his words on the occasion, as he thanked them for their kind remembrance, will be long treasured by them. Sharp Advance in Grain 'Values. The grain market is decidedly strong- er in sympathy with the war feeling. Not only as the beet milling wheat gone tip to a figure not reached in recent years, but all cereals and farm products generally are feeling the impulse of inflated values which war invariably affords. How long or to what extent prices will be influenced depends entire- ly upon the duration of the Hispano- Americant Suffice it that . n the American war. u meantime at least those who have grain to dispose of will reap some pe- cuniary advantage through the trouble between Spain and the United States, and should the war extend throughout. the year the Canadian people bid fair to realize handsome prices for the crop of 1898, thus once more illustrating the axions that it's an ill rt ind which blows nobody good.
