Peas and flax are not extensively grown, but what has been sown will probably yield a a good crop. Potatoes are very late, in some oases only just coming through the ground. Those that were up were some- what damaged by the frost in the latter part of June, as well as other garden stuff. Roots of all kinds this year make a very poor showing, as they are late. The crop of natural hay, however,, will be abundant and excellent quality. On account of the abundance of grass the live stock of the Province is in first-olass condition. ' The rainfall during June was 2.48 inches as compared with 5.57 inches in June, 1891. The bulletin also contains some statistic's' information, from which it appears that as compared with last year im- proved len& have advanced in average value from $10.85 per acre to $11.25, and unim- proved land from $6.96 to $8.80, while the number of farmers in the Province has in- creased from 18,937 to 20,517. The number of milch cows has increased from 75,968 in 1891 to 79,856 in 1892, which indicates an encouraging growth of the interest in dairying. Delegates of the State .of Nebraska, who are now prospecting in th'e Northwest, have issued a letter, signed by all, telling how delighted they are with this country.

It is nearly round in shape, and its outside ahell is very thin. When opened it was found to contain another egg somewhat larger than a hen's, with a shell similar to the outer shell. The inner egg is apparently perfect, taking the place or the yolk of the outer one. —On Tuesday aftereoon last, at 5 o'clock, the Winghem fire bell rang out ,its alarm, the scene of destruction being the Wing- ha.mfoundry. Happily the services of the firemen, who arrived in short-order, were not required. A few pails of water were :sufficient to extinguish the flames, but not before a couple of fair sized holes had been burned in the roof of the moulding depart- ment. —On Tuesday morning of last week,about two o'clock, the citizens of Wingham were aroused from their slumbers by the sound of the fire bell, when it was found that the old pottery building in that_town was, in flames. The firemen were soon on hand and had the fire under control, but not until the building was rendered useless by the 'lenses. It was one of the oldest buildings- in town. --Mr. Edward Acheson, of Holmesville,. had the misfortune to have his driver laid up for the next three or four months, if not totally.

Snell, of HulIett, who was seriously injured from the discharge of a gun, is recovering nicely. The la,d dd. not have a loaded gun as reported, and the weapon was nete standing against the verandah post. It seems that Mr. H. Snell had loaded both barrels of the gun for the purpose of shooting cherry birds. After doing so he placed caps on both nipples,andn th while in act of letting the hammers down he accidentally discharged one barrel, the charge striking the hardwood floor and glancing a distance of twenty feet, and in- juring the boy as stated last week. —Mr, Thomas 0. Cooper, of Clinton, cel- ebrated his 85th birthday on Tuesday last. Mr. Cooper is yet able to walk up town quite smartly, smokee his pipe and con- verses on live issues.

At the residence of Mr. John Col- clough there was a dangerous and lively scene for a few seconds. Eddie Johnston, of Clinton, and Miss Colclough, were near the house when the thunderstorm earne up. Near them were several poplar trees and a wire clothes line running from one of them to the house. The lightning struck the tree with the wire and followed to the house— splitting in twain the line prop—and enter- ing winded its way to the pantry and sliv- ered a board off, then disappeared in the cellar. Mies Colclough and the lad John- ston were in the meantime prostrate outside, but, soon recovered consciousness. A severe shock was fortunately the worst, but the death Call was very close. Several young fowl close by were killed from the shock. Staffa. NOTES.—Mr. James Gullett met with a painful accident last week. While descend- ing the ateps in Mr. C. Tuffin's barn he slip- ped and fel' dislocating his arm.—Master Frank Tuffin's broken limb is progressing favorably.—Mr. Frank Hambly has returned from his sojourn in Uncle Sa,m's domains and was badly cut about the head, and blood poured out of his ears and mouth. It was thought that he could not live, and a mes- senger was hastily despatched for Dr.Wood, who drove out promptly and attended to the injuries. At present Mr. Bennewies is able to move about, but he still has a pretty sore head. IIIIIMIMMNN•MnIMMMMMM""Mll THE MARKETS.

Freights have dropped consider- ably; 60s being the standard, but a great many contracts wereAigned as low as 55se The sheep trade has been creating quite a lot of comment in the city of late on ac- count of the large export trade which has been going on, bat this trade is practically over. It will end next week, as the shippers cannot stand the loss which they have bad this past week. There was a good demand for this export, but now the market is filled right up and all future shipments cannot sell for anything near standard. Great competition in American cattle and also with a slight Irish trade helped to keep our Canadian cattle in the background, hence the losses which they claim to have sustained. The total shipments of Ameri- can cattle last week were 6,720 cattle and 22,680 quarters beef, for all ports such as Liverpool, London, Glasgow and others. The local market here was filled to comple- tion with both export aud butchers'. At the Montreal Stock Yards the receipts since . Saturday were: 989 cattle, 1,569 alieep, 298 hogs, 12 calves and 33 horses. There were a great many buyers on the market but they seemed a little shy and only bought as little as they possibly could. The receipts gen- erally were good, especially of export stock, but values had no material changes. Little cattle changed hands. The report showed that the trade in butchers' was very small for the week, there being some reluctance about buying, tbe demand about equalling the supply. Export sheep were plentiful and in good demand, averaging in price from no to 3ic per lb. The hog trade was fair, inquiry being mostly for lightweighte. Our prices for the week did not vary at all, ranging for export cattle 'Vie to 41c per Ib; good butchers', 40 to 4o; medium do, 3c to 40 per lb, and culls, 2c to 3c per ib; sheep never went higher than 4c per lb, the standard being 31c per lb, and average quality 3ic. Hoge, 5c to 5ic per lb, and calves from $2 to $6. each, according to quality. At the horse exchange a very dull trade was done only two sales being made the prices reiL' ized being good, ranging from $150 to $250 for good saddle and carriage horses. The demand is principally for this style of horse and although there are a great many good ones on hand three more loads are expected during the week, all for the English market. The total number on hand -for the week was 78 horses. The re- ceipts for the week at the point were 2,691 cattle, 2,354 sheep, 925 hogs, 395 calves and 78 horses. Irish cattle have started to come into the English market, and this impediment, along with the American shipments, will hurt our Canadian shippers considerably. Supplies of Irish grass-fed cattle are now coming for- ward more regularly, and this, coupled with the strong shipments of American cattle, indicate that a lower rate of prices is likely to prevail, Advices from Birkenhead, in reference to the shipments of Canadian cat- tle sold there this past week, show that serious complaints are made concerning the accommodation provided at the lairages, and if, as the case seems, salesmen and buyers prefer to handle stock on the Cheshire side of the river, it would be well to give a little more room to Canadian cattle, as we are informed the cattle were scattered up and down in a number of sheds and open places, involving an inconvenience mast an- noyiug to all concerned. Sales at Birken- head on Monday were with difficulty forced at a reduction of from 303 to 40s per head, or say a fraction under 6d.

The Provincial elections take place on Saturday. The political pot has been boil- ing like fun for the past three weeks and people generally are pretty well broken up. The general impression is that the Greenway Governrne,ut will be sustained, but an elec tion is a mighty uncertain affair. Dr. McEachran, of Montreal, Dominion veterinary officer, is here on his way home after an inspection of the Northwest ranches. He states that the cattle wintered spleedidly and that the losses were very light. The season so far had been very dry, and unless rain came very soon hay would be scarce; in fact, there might be no such thing as hay this summer. Northwestern cattle were all in good condition. There is no such thing as disease in Canadian cattle. Mr. W. F.Hutchinsort, New South Wales, commissioner to the World's Fair, is in the city on his return home from Chicago. His country will make a large exhibit next year, and he is enthusiastic over the prospects of the exhibition, Mr. Hutchinson is delighted with the Canadian Northwest, his expres- sion being, "it is, indeed, a wonderful country." General Alger, of Detroit, cornmander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was here yesterday en route to the Pacific coast ovelF-- the Canadian Pacific Railway. Speaking to your correspondent he stated that hearing such favorable mention of Man- itoba and the Canadian Pacific Railway, be had decided to pay his first visit to the Canadian Northwest this summer. What he had so far seen had pleased him very much. McKeown, the man who represented him- self as the agent of Gilmore's band, and se- cured transportation over the Canadian Pacific Railway from Vancouver to Winni- peg for himself and wife,after being arrested and taken back, has given the Vancouver authorities the slip. He escaped from the lockeip during the temporary abeence of the policeman on guard. Again the wheat crop of Manitoba promisee a most bountiful harvest. The July bulletin intimates that the cold weath- er during part of June interfered with ite growth, so that it is a week or ten days be- hind last year, but is now doing well, and farmers are jubilant. Where poor seed was used the crop is thin, and where it was sown broadcast it is not looking quite as well as where it was drilled in, but in all cases it is reported to be of good color and making rapid advancement. More crets wore aown this year than ever before by about thirty thousand acres; generally they look well, but are about ten days late.

THERE WILL BE IIELD IN CARDNO'S HALL, SEAFORTH, —ON— TUESDAY, July 26th, 1892; British Grain Trade. The Mark Lane Express of the 18th inst., in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: English wheats are unsettled, and the markets are generally 23 lower. Country exchanges are quiet at • an average price of 30s, but sales have been made at the Norfolk and some of the Midland markets as low as 27s. Foreign wheats are weak in London and firm in Liverpool. The ar- rivals of American and Indian wheats con- tinue in excess of the demand. American red winter sells at 29s 6d, and Californian at 38s. Corn is firmer at 21s 6d. Barley is weak ; Russian has fallen to 16s 6d. Rye is firm at 33s. Oats are quiet ; mixed American sells at 16s 6d.

MONTREAL, July 18.—The last week has seen a very grave loos both in this market and in the English market, Buyers in this city are holding back on account of the ex- treine heat, and the same thing can be said about the markets on the other side of the water. Shippers of export cattle are away down in the mouth to -day on account of the losses incurred by them in the English markets. One dollar per head will hardly reach the amount of loss, still the principal shippers of export cattle expect to get out of it with that as the minimum. What is the cause? Well, that is hard to say, but: it is attributed to almost the same as here, heat. The extreme warm weather of the last few weeks has not only frightened the buyer in the old country but it has also killed a great many hea,d in transport. For Deaths.
