The abundant show of blossoms last spring pointed to a large crop of ap- ples, but subsequent conditions have compelled a modification of first re- ports, and the prospects are now favor- able for only a moderate yield. As the crop in England, Scotland and Wales is very short, there will necess- arily be a big demand for Canadian fruit, and the prices will likely range high. Dr. Willoughby left yesterday (Wed) morning to attend the Methodist Con ference iu Toronto. It will be held in the 141etropolitan Church and will con- tinue about three weeks. The Doctor gave a very earnest, argumentative and convincing address last Sunday morning on the coming plebiscite. In the evening be gave the last of the series of four addresses to young . peo- ple. The congregations were very large at both services, and especially so in the evening. The interest taken in the church services through all weather, must be very gratifying to the pastor. He will be absent from the pulpit during the Sabbaths of Sep tember. A reduction in the price of chainless wheels may be looked for in 1899. The makers of this style of machine held a conference recently to determine upon terms for next year. The decision reached has not been announced, and will not be until late in the fall, as it may possibly affect the price of chain wheels, Some guessers who think themselves shrewd predict that in the spring the best chainless wheels will be; obtainable for $75.

Come everybody. Rave Your Address on Your Envel- opes. The new post office regulations went into effect on the first of July, and it is expected that a great deal of the work before imposed upon . the dead - letter office may be obviated if the public will pay attention to the re- quest which the department is making by means of posters at all the post of- fices, asking that the name and ad- dress of the writer or sender; shall be placed on the upper left hand corner of all envelopes or wrappers. If this. is done, the postmaster will at once communicate with the sender instead of sending the letter to the dead letter office. In addition to the saving in time and labor, the public would in this be relieved of the unpaid postage charges now made for the return of mail matter through the dead -letter office.
