The grain crops never looked better or more promising than they do at present, and this statement applies to all general grains. Fall wheat promises more than an average, and has not suffered perceptibly from the continued rains, other than to be beaten down somewhat but it is likely to ries again. As far as observed no rust has yet appeared. Spring wheat, barley, oats and peas are leaking well, but are not far enough ad- vanoed to be hurt by the wet weather. The outlook is decidedly promising. CAXPBELLFORD,—NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY. Crops in this locality are good and far above the average for the past ten years. Recent rains have only affeeted the very low lands. In Immo places the rust is shewing on fall wheat, but as yet only on the leaf. In other respects the prospects are grand. DI,—NORFOLIC COUNTY. The past rains have been rather. a benefit than a detriment to crops in. this section, which it sandy. Wheat will be an extraor- dinary crop. Hay is fair, and all other crops are looking well. point. in Ontar o are given, up to July 4th: DUNDAS,—WENTWORTil COUNTY, The grain crops in this vicinity are very promising, and no material damage appears to have been done to wheat by the continued rain, although there is some talk of rust, but it does not appear , to have hurt the straw yet. Potatoes, especially in low ground, are suffering from too much wet, and many farmers have not been able to plant from the same cause. Bay will be an abundant crop, if we only get fine weather now. Farm- ers are anxiously waiting to begin haying. In fact the whole harvest is just now hang- ing in the balance. EMER0,—OXFORD COUNTY. Hay, very heavy crop. Fall wheat crops .ery good, but many fields badly ledged. Spring wheat, fair crop, but not much grown he now. Peas, fair crop, but too much somersault in buggy on Satnrday after- rain. Barley, very little sown this year. you min soaroely find a farmer complaining. Mow" imastor. The crops continue to progress in most satisfactory- manner. In this immediate vioh3ity little or no damage has been done them by storms, and although of late we have had too much rain for low lands it is not expimted the growth will be much re- tarded, as warm sunlight aud drying winds have followed.

The proapects were most encouraging un- til Friday last, On Saturday and Sunday this section was deluged with rain,creating much damage. The low lands were inundated, while on the hillsides there were many_ slides, so that considerable gain was des- troyed. However, should the balance of the season be favorable an average crop of wheat, oats, peas, barley and rye may be excepted. The farmers are cutting hay, and it is most abundant. Small fruits are scarce. Roots will be short. The potatoes are very badly damaged, and will yield but half what was expected. ORILLIA,—SDICOE. Haying is in progress here. The crop is hea,vy but coarse. All grain crops are re- ported as exceptionally stout in the stra,w, but coming on very nicely except on low lands, where spring wheat has been serious- ly injured by recent heavy rains. The wind has laid considerable, and harvesting will be somewhat troublesome. PORTHOFE DISTRICT. Oat, good average. Hay, good aversge. Fall wheat, extra heavy, but fears of rust.

MONTREAL, July 5.s --A decidedly. poor market to -day, as could be eailly seen by those_ visiting either the Montreal Stock Yards or the East End Abattoit. The etate of affairs is certsiuly not owing to the day, as it was a good one but the buyers seemed eenif they already in:11 enough and would not purehase until next. week. ,The, run on butehers' et the Point was vory light, only 10 or 12 care being- offers , the greater meant of vrhich wore either d 'posed of or sent to the Rest end. Last week's cattle trade in England was certainly not what it should have been, owing, no doubt, to the great heat. Advice' from Liverpool state that 'the market hantfallen off 6(1, owing to the weather, which is extremely hot and of course, not good for trade. Shippers refuse to nay whether they made money or lost it still it would be impossible for any of those outside of the Bickerdike -Crowe company to say that they came out more than even on the whole week. If they did they were do- ing a great deal with s market at 6d and 60e freight, with the cattle at 5o here. It seems an impossibility for them to have made money with things in this state, and, if . the next week is no better, those who have not already secured space at rates much lower then 60s will have to give up shipping for a. while, at any rate until the market gets strong again. The Biokerdlke & Crowe company claim to have made some money to -day, which, no doubt, is erred, owing to the many little advantage enjoyed by them; such as cheaper space, 4oentraated for in expense, and lower expenees, owing to their large buying. Still, if they have made money it le thought to be very little. No- thing definite, however, can bri got from the shippers, on the ground that no account of sales have been received. Of course noth- ing -tan be said as to what the effect of this break in the Liverpool market will have on the other markets but an iinprovement , can hardly be looked for if the vtarm weather continues, in fact it may have the effect of lowering the ideas of the far -triers and herd- ers of cattle here, who keepl on thinking Mist .if they hold their cattle back they will secure better prices. The principal shippers have been buying heavily, end it is thought they have enough osttle on hand to come very near filling the space on, the 11 steamers announced to ssil this week. This state of things will not melte the steam, ship companiee lower their rates, which all' remain the same as last week. We quote the following as being fair values: Cattle, export, 44,-c to 5e per Ib; do butchers', good, 31c to 4c; do butchers', medium, -30 . to 3c; do butchers', oulle, 2c to 30; sheep and Iambs, 3-te to 4o; hogs, $4 80 to $5 25 per cwt.; calves, $2 to $12 each. At the East endAbattoir this morning 250 cattle, 400 sheep and lambs, 250 calves and 60 lean hogs were offered. Trade was slow in spite of the light run of cattle, the butchers be- ing slow buyers, and prices, in consequence, were easier, 4te being the top figure. Ship- pers picked up a few sheep at 4c, and butchers paid $3 50 to $7 each for sheep, and $2 50 to $4 for lainbs. Calves soldat $3 to $14, and hogs at $3 to $10. 4 Timmer°, July 6th.—Butter—G00d to choice, northern and western, tubs 12 to 13o; medium, 12 to Me ; large rolls, good to choice, 12 to 13o; common, ion to ni; creamery tubs, 15 to 17c. Cheese—New cheese, colored, 81 to 8ic on track : jobbing at 9 to 10c; fall makes, jobbing at 11 to 111e. Eggs—Receipts were heavy and the market was just about steady at 10to for No. land 9te for seconds. MONTREAL, July 6th.—Butter—This mar- ket has improved slightly for local, but ex- port is slow. To -day's prices are—New creamery, 18 to 190; new dairy, 17 to 18c ; townships dairy, 16 to 17c; Morrisburg, 14 to 17c; western, 12 to 14e. Cheese—This market has little ohange. Values show a slight easing off. Liverpool cables to -day quote white and colored at 448, 6d. We quote—New colored, 8.1 to 9c ; new white, fq to no. Eggs—The same as yesterday; is practically the same market, with prices as follows ;—We quote 9a, to 10c, the latter for fresh stock. INGERSQLL, July 5th.—The offerings at the cheese market here to -day were 3,082 boxes, being the balance of June make. The transactions were :-480 boxes at 8 1316c; 287 boxes at 8 15-16c, 435 boxes at 9c, and ,150 boxes at 9 1-16c. . LITTLE FALLS, July 5th.—Vesterday the cheese market here was much broken up by the celebration of the holiday. The sales are 6,931 boxes, and the ruling price .was 8-1c. There were also sales of 408 boxes of dairy cheese at -8 to no. Butter—Sales of 50 packages creamery were made at 19 to 20c, mostly at 19o. There were 15 packages of dairy butter sold at 16 to 190.

Crops in the neighborhood are beginning to show signs of damage from excessive rains, though if the weather should clear up & plentiful harvest would yet be reaped. Hay and fall wheat are lodged to a small extent, and slight signs of rust are, showing themselves in a few places.On the whole the outlook is encouraging, the crops gener- ally in this vicinity have suffered less from rain than places further south. WELLAND DISTRICT. The late rains have helped the crops in this section, although too much has fallen. Dry weather is badly needed now. Haying has begun aud will be a heavy crop, II wheat promises an abundant crop if the et weatber does not cause rust. In oats, barley and corn, wet weather retarded seeding, so the acreage is wall. Prospects are good for a fair crop. British Grain Trade. The Mark Lane Express of July 5, in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: "English wheats have been. dull and from sixpence to One shilling lower. Foreign wheats declined sixpence. It is estimated that 2,360,229 quarters of foreign wheat and 1,000,000 sacks of flour have been placed in warehouses. Maize has been weaker, owing to favorable American crop prospects and expected heavy arrivals from Argentina. Barley has been lower. In the oats market there has been a decline of threepence, 17 shillings being asked for white American. Rye has been firmer. Beaus and peas have been sixpence cheaper." In to -day's market English wheat sold slowly at declining prices. Foreign wheat was inactive and sixpence lower. Flour was weak. English was in better demand than foreign. Little business was done in bar- ley; grinding sorts dropped sixpence. There was a fair enquiry for maize; round fell threepence; other sorts were unchang- ed. Oats and barley were lower. Begins and peas were neglected at the old rates. • ,Tuly and August are supposed to be quiet months, but we propose to make them equal the other months, by offering special prices every Saturday and MOnday. Many people have told uSi they canna always get here on Saturday, so we have decided to continue lour SPECIAL PRICE SLUE on Mendaye as well.

The local horse trade continues -very dull and prices are apparently at rock bottom, At W.D. Grand's sale on Tuseday, 47 gener- al purpose and driving horses were put up, the price for the former ranging from $70 to $90, and the latter from $80 to $125 per head. While the local trade is dulla e, fair- ly active export demand seems to have sprung up, Since February 15, 1892, -400 heavy general purpose horses have been purchased here for the Paris (France) mar • ket,while at this moment several English buyers are in the city looking for suitable stock, Live Stock Markets. LONDON'England, July 5,—A change for the better has occurred here since yesterday. Receipts from both Canada and the United States have been smaller than was expected, and the supplies of home cattle are light. The best " American" steers have sold this morning at 6icl to 8id a pound (estimated dead weight). Prospects are good; the demand is active, and the tendency is de- cidedly for higher prices, BUFFALO, July o.—Sheep and Lambs— Market unchanged; fair to good sheep $4.25 to $5.10; fancy wethers up to 55,60; good to fancy yearling lambs,$4.75 to 55.60; spring lambs, choice to prime'$7 to $7.25. Hogs—Several decks were taken for export at $6 per cwt; packers and mediums, $5.85 to 55.95; Yorkers, light to best, $5.65 to 55.85; pigs, $5 to $5.70. Towner°, July 6.—Cattle—Export cattle were off tc per pound, and quotations aver- aged from 4 to 410 per pound, as a rule, with a few transactions at 5c per pound, but this was only an exceptionally outside figure. Trading was very dull, and the sales effect- ed had scarcely any representative value. Butchers' cattle also -sold slowly, and at weaker though perhaps not quotably lower figures for really good animals, but the bulk of the offerings was by no means good, and a large quantity of common and ordinary stuff changed bands at from 24 to Bic per pound. Owing to the hot weather the local demand was slow. Sheep and Lambs—Ex- port sheep are in steady demand just now but at low prices; quantities sold to -day at from n to 4o per pound, with one large bunch of very choice sold at 4 -j -c per pound. Butchers' sheep sold at about the same ures as the export, from 312 to 48. Lambe brought from $3,50 to 0.25 each, with a few choice at $4.50 each. There were all told above eight hundred sheep and lambs on sale. Milkers—Between 30 and 40 came SMITH'S FALLS,—LEEDS COUNTY. The recent long -continued rains have had rather a bad effect on nearly all the crops in this section. There has been each a rank growth of grass that there are many fears expressed on all sides that it will be difficult to gather and house it. Many fieldsnf grain are completely drained out and will have to be ploughed up, but where the ground has been able to ablerb the water the growth is most luxuriant. It is only the drowned crops one hears of, and nothing is said of the ones that are Al right and most promis- ing , Taken as a whole, while there are some fields of porn and other grains that are really ruined, yet the prospects for crops never were brighter, and the weather now seems settled.

We made the greatest pre- parations We ever made for any sale, and expected the greatest rush. But the rush did not come, and the goods are left on our hands. Rain, rain, rain, and cold weather 6 nearly all the month, was the cause. • There was no need for Nice Fine Shoes in such weather. People could not wear them if they had them. So our immense stocks of FINE SHOES still on our shelves. We have got to make up for it in June. We have got to not only do the ordinary June trade but to make up the shortage on our trade, sales. We were the losers but you can now be the winners. The nature of our business requires a certain turn- over every month. - During the month of June, it will be a matter of getting money, not making money. Seaforth.
