" Oh, yes, certainly,I'll find iem !iand he did. per m- missioner's office to a carefully selected list of firms dealing in hay, in which, in view of the high price likely to prevail during the next few months, he a_sgked whether a ready market existed for CrWe.dian hay, and for any suggestions as to the lines upon which such a trade might be developed. By the courtesy of Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Colmer, the secretary to the High Commis- sioner's office, I have been permitted to examine a number of the replies received in response to this request. A few points from these letters will undoubtedly be of interest in Canada, since they indicate very clearly the View taken ley the best Authorities on the subject in this country. For instance, Messrs.• Henderson, of Westminster, write that, in their judgment Canadian hay of good quality is worth eighty shillings a ton and that there is practically an unlimited demand for goods of best character. etMessrs. C.aiition of Smithfield state that if Canadian hay is clean and sweet, not mil- dewed or dusty, it should meet a good sale here. Prices, they think, will rule very fairly high between January and May. They favor Canadian hay being delivered in lighters at the London wharves, and urge that the bales should be tied up with strong cord, and they thould not be over 112 pounds in weight. As this firm had some experience years ago with American hay, their advice is specially valuable. Messrs. .Alinute of Nine Elms say that a good mixture of thnothy and clover isworth about £4 10s per ton at the; 'Albert dock, Tilbury, good grass hay willfetch £.4 per tont They 'endorse Messrs. Caston's prefer- ence for smaller bales, in favor of which they say there is a difference of two or three shillings per ton in the market prices. They find that the freight charged by steamers from Moieties' is £2 per ton; the dock charges amount to four shillings a ton for a week, and the cost of lighterage from the dock to the riverside wharves averages from three to five shillings per tone Messrs. Cleave Bros., Liverpool, who have received several large consignments of Canadian hay, think that the most suitable kind is clover, with a very little timothy mixed. They, too, advocate small bales, and write: 'We are buyileg at 75eshillings per ton, -c.i.f., at Liverpool, but even at this price' there is no great demand." They write, too, that the shipments of Canadian hay should have a distinctive mark. An- other Liverpool firm writes that the best sort of Canadian hey has 'fetched from £4 to £4 108 per ton. The packing, however, is rather too heavy, and they suggest a wide banding similar to that in use with United iStates hay. Messrs. Mair & Marquis, of Glasgow, • who have also had some experience whit; Canadian hay, suggest that the hay should be certificated and graded. They have "had a good deal of trouble on ac- count of the irregularity in the quality of the shipments sent over. Real good timothy is in demand, but their letter points to their belief that the trade has beemonuch injured by some inferior ship- ments which have come to hand. The tap price fetched is £4 per ton. • From these typical replies, one or two conclusions can certainly be drawn. One is that reasonably low freights are essential to the permanent success of the trade. If the steamship companies' charges amount to 60, 50, or even 40 per cent. of the selling price on this side of the Atlantic there is very little prospect of satisfactory business being done. Similarly dealers in Canada must base the whole of their shipment on the fact that • only the very best quality of stuff will fetch here more than £4 per ton. Reasonable prices must prevail hip Can- ada 0 there is to be any profitable bush nees in the trade for thoie concerned. Agan r• it is all 'Important that the re- quirements of the market, as regards the packing and size of the bales, should be carefully studied. It is of no use to pitchfork Canadian hay on the English buy- ers without paying the least heed to well- established condiaions_and practices which regulate the busthess here. Moreover, in this, as in all other matters straightfor- ward dealing pays best in the long run. It is above all essential when goods from a fresh source are being t'placed upon the market, for every business man knows howirregular- ity in quality in the earlier consignments will damage the reputation and materially lower the value of goods which subsequent- ly come to hand. As with regard to the Anglo -Canadian egg -trade, so with respect to hay. Properly managed, a profitable bueiness might in time be • developed, but any attempt to cajole the English buyer will assuredly fail, and permanent success can only be secured by careful attention to the practical requirements of the market.— Globe London (Eng.) letter. The Lamb Among Wolves. Ife enters the precincts of the bureau. Black is his bro.*, and rasping with un - _ wonted harshness is his voice, writes Rob- ert J. Burdette, of the man who enters an bitelligence office in search of a "cook" and "second girl," in the October Ladies' Horne Journal. Sternly he bends his gaze upon the superintendent. She lifts her own eyes a pa9sing moment to meet his ferocious 'expression, traequillye as one who had been weaned in early infancy on just such glances ' from much larger men. She resumes her writing. There is something in the atmes- phere of this strange place that chills him. ide lamas " Goodafternoon !" in one word, and in the same tone in which he had snarl. ed " Gmorn f." to his type writer.

He breaks into a co-lid/Perspiration as the horrible thought _sweeps 801'098' his mind that she may -have followed him there to witness the battle.

He is alone. Ha hears an unfamiliar voice beyond the par- tition saying' as to an audience : " Thay're's a house fulloi thim." He suggests, in it hoarse, strange voice, that he will try for two. They are summoned. The candidete for coak is taller than himself; the "sick- ing gyrul" demands of 'him where he lives. He names the street. The two ladies ture! to look into each other's faces.4 two harsh and hollow bursts of laughter- grate upon the startled sir; two faces leek down upon him with pitying commiseratiou, and he is once more alone. He goes oue like a man walking in his sleep. He falls over a dog and "begs pardon." He meets the office boy and lifts his hat to that astonished young rebel. He sees his type writer wait- ing for a car, and cellos hansom for her. He reaches home, and when the "ad in. " Ellen Eliza opens the door, he calls her "Madam,' and apologizes for troubling her. You say: "Whine is the new girl ? He says: "Oh? Didn't have time to go for her." And ho is correct. She went for him. After this, nerhaps, you had better not say anything to him about it.

None of them quite met my re- quirements. The Leghorns were not heavy enough when dressed. The Bra,hinas and Plymouth Rocks did not ley enough, and all had dark pin feathers, which anyone who has tried to sell the fancy -dressed fowl trade knows is a serious objection. They do not look very bad When the fowl is first dressed, but the coloring matter from the feather gradually spreads out, leaving a great unsightly 'black and blue spot. To meet the demands of -those who are 'willing to pay a little over the market quo- tations for strictly firet-class , dressed poultry, a full plump body, well developed breast, strong legs, nicely, rounded back, bright yellow skin, legs and beak, no cuts, tears or bruises, and a fresh, bright appear- ance is required. I procured ia :stock of White Plymouth Reeks frr the +Originator in Maine, and a stociof the White Wyandotters from their originator in Trux- ton, N.Y. After giving both breeds a fair and impartial trial I ehose the White Ply- mouth Rock, because of their better size and earlier matority. After ten years ex- perience with them, I hay's+ no reason to re- gret my choice. There is a good demand for the higher scoring chicks for breeding and exhibition, while the next grade meets the demands made by farmers and market poulterers who wish to improve their conimon stock.
