A. glance at our windows at
almost any time will be convin-
cing proof of the claim that we
carry a complete and tasteful
range of Men's Shirts, Collars and
Cuffs, Dickys, etc. In fact all
lines of Linen Goods which are
in use for men's wear.
The first cut defines a style of
Shirt, which we have in the
laundried condition at 64c, .$1,
and $1.25. Of course the low
line is good value; but for all
that we think that it pays ;to buy
linen goods, especially shirts in
the better qualities, and as one
of the better 'qualities we can
unhesitatingly recommend the
Si Shirt as a rarity in value.

The Collar trade divides itself into two distinct brauctles,

For those peofile who pall
for comfort, letting style take

The prices which we can
furnish this style at are two
Collars for 25c, and. at 20c each. The 20c Collar sells in lots
of dozens at $2.

Touching on the class who like
the up-to-date and new, the
following cuts represent that
which is most in demand by up-
to-date dressers. The prices are
like the turn -down shape, two
for 25p, and 20c each.
A matter which is a very
source of annoyance to many is
the question of size. It roay be,
therefore, of interest to many
that we carry a full assortment
of large sizes in Shirts up to 17

speak so encouragingly, as this crop pre-
sents a poor appearance in many places, es-
pecially where late sown, and therefore
more liable to feel the effects of the drouth.
Some damage from the effects of the gran -
hopper, turnip fly and other insect petite is
noted.
SCARCITY OF FRUIT.
There is likely to be a scarcity of fruit
this season, owing to , various causes. The
severe winter.destroyed a large proportion
of the fruit trees in some sections, and
appears to have injured many which sur-
vived. Heavy rains during the blossoming
season greatly interfered with fertilization,
as did frost in some neighborhood.. The
tent caterpillar, cumuli°, codling moth and
other, injurious insects, hove also made
great havoc among the orchards, except
, where they have been kept in check by sin-
tematio spraying. The apple crop is very
light, but as a rule, the quality is good, and
the fruit fairly free frorri scab, The winter
verities promise better than the earlier
kinds. Plums have done rather better than
apples, though greatly subject to attackof
the cumuli°. The yield in moat localities
where they are grown is poor, bat
they will be abundant in some places. The
peach crop is practically a failure, owing L to
the general des ruction of the trees, which
id -the other v ritiee. Those which rem in
suffered man
ore a verely from the winter t
have borne -fairly well in some ,neighbor-
hoods, but the total product is small. Pear
trees have noten so prolific as usual, and
le
the supply will be light. • There was about
an average ore of cherries, though some
damage from w rms and black knot is speci-
fied. Reports oneerning the vineyards are
highly encoura mg, the vines being healthy
and well lade promising an abundant-,
supply of grape. Berries and small fruits
have been ge erally plentiful and good,
though in ma y localities they have run
rather small in nsequenee of the drouth.
FASTU E AND LIVE STOCK.
Reports as t the condition of pastures,
and the effect u on the supply of fodder and
dairy produce, vary greatly, according to
locality. In the Lake Erie and Lake On-
tario counties, and some other parts, the
pastures are generally dried up and bare,
resulting in a considerable falling off in the
supply ot milk and a shortage in dairy pro-
duce, with discouraging prospects for the
keeping of cattle during the fall and winter.
The latter difficulty, however, has been
largely met by the more general planting of
corn and the storage of ensilage, so that no
scarcity is apprehended, unless in except-
ional cases. In the northern and. eastern
parts of the Province, where more rain has
fallen, the pasturage has remained good,
with abundant supplies of milk for dairying
purposes, and prospects of a plentiful supply
of feed for stock. In addition to drouth,
another cause which has resulted in a de-
crease of the milk supply, is that more
calves are being raised than usual in some
parts. Live stock as a rule are in good con-
dition, with a marked absence of anything
like serious disease, the principal drawback
being the prevalence of thehorsefly, which
has been very troublesome in many cases.
" LABOR AND WAG S.
The demand for farm la or is still de-
creasing, owing to the now requent prac-
tise of doing all the ordin ry farm work
without other 'assistance han that fur-
nished by the family, or th exchange of
work among the neighbors. he falling off
in the extent to which the hiring system
has .been adopted, renders the supply of
help in most localities fully adequate, except
during t e temporary pressure of the har-
vest. C mplainte of scarcity come from
many cm nem, owing to the laborers leave -
ug for Manitoba and the northwest, or en-
tering up n other employments in the Pro-
vince. sreat difficulty has consequently
been experienced in 'obtaining extra men for
the harvest in some neighborhoods. The
variatian in the rate of wages paid is NO
great, even within the limits of the same
•county, that it is difficult to indicate aver-
age figures that will not be either mislead-
ing or present to wide a margin that they
will be of little, utility. As a general thiog
wages appear to be somewhat higher in..the
west than in the east, with a slightly up-
ward tendency. out $1 or $1,25 per day
with board seems to be about the standard
or average wages for harvest hands, though
as low as sixty or seventy cents is quoted Se
the figure -in some cases, while, on the other
hand, the scarcity of help in some neighbor-
hoods has raised the figure to $1.50 and
even $2, The rate for monthly engage-
ments with beerd usually ramps between
$15 and $20, anything over this figure be-
ing for a short engagement covering the'
summer season, while arrangements for long
terms are frequently made at considerably
lower figures.
