The past week has been really an active
one on the wheat market,anddaily the busi
gess is increasing, The quantity of grain
marketed has been considerable, and good
prices have been paid. The ruling figure
has been $1.15, but in many instances ad-
vances on this have been made Other
cereals have gone up,ancl are likely to con-
tinue so for some time, which is owing to
the shortage in the wheat crop in Great
fritain, and in several of • the Europeaan
countries, and the damage done by frost
in the North-western States. During the
past two weeks there has been a rise in
prices both in America aucl the Old Coun-
try, and the felling of firmness is being ac-
centuated every day.

Presentation.
On the 22nd ult. Mr. W. E. Walrond,
the popular and'effirientforemanin Karn's
organ factory, Woodstock, was seized by
the men and presented with a large silver
ice pitcher. Mr. Levagood read the ad-,
dress. Mr, Walrond was visibly affected
by the token of esteem, and in a few short
words thanked the men for their hand-
some -gift, but more especially for the feel-
ings that prompted it. The occasion was
Mr. Walrond's departure for Almoute and
Exeter on'a short vacation. Following is
a copy of the address :
2'o TV E. TTralrond, Esq.,
DEAR AND RESPECTED SIR :—We deem
this, the eve of your departure for a visit
-to Altnonte and other places, an appro-
priate'time for the expression of a little
sentiment and respect. Many of us have
for some time past been desirous of ex-
pressing to you in some.way onr apprecia-
tion of.yoiir many good qualities as a "fel-
low workman," and also to testify to the
honorable and impartial manner in which
you discharge the duties appertaining . to
your position as foreman'of the depart -
stents under your charge, while you dis-
play an earnest and conscientious desire
to feather the interest of the firm, and
work with an unceasing endeavor towards
that end. Your very example lends an
incentive to your associates, thue making
friction between yourself and workmen a
thing almost unknown. We, therefore,
ask you to accept this ice pitcher as a
sena proof of onr sincerity ; in itself it is
not of. extraordinary value, but if, as we
believe you will, reciprocate the sentiment
in: which ft is given, :our object will be at-
tained. In conclusion` we hope the visit
you are about to make will' .be pleasant
and profitable, and that you may return
and be permitted to enjoy a• long life of
health and prosperity.
