MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MARKET.
There were about 600 bead of butchers'
cattle, 150 calved' and 700 sheep and lariat a
offered for sale at the East End Abattoir.
The butchers were out in large numbers,
and there was a brisk demand for the best
cattle, but common and inferior stock
were not wanted. A few of the best beeves
were bought at about 4o lb.; pretty good
animals brought from 3a to 4o.; common
dry cows and rough young stock sold at
from 2ic to 2ac, and the leaner beasts at
about 2c per lb. It is probable that a con-
siderable number of the common cattle
will not be sold. Calves were lower in
price. Common veale bring from $1.50 to
$4.60 each, and good large ones from $5 to
$6.50 each. Shippers are paying about 3o
per ln. for good large sheep; good lambs
sell at about 4c per Ib., and the others at
about 3/0 do. Fat hogs are not very
plentiful, and continua to sell at about 3ac
per Ib. for good lots of fed hogs.
Commercial Notes
At least 2,500 additional men are requir-
ed in Manitoba and the Northwest to aid
in taking in the harvest.
The Russian Government intends to pro-
hibit the export of grain this year owing
to the expected bad harvest.
Locusts are doing much damage to crops
in the Argentine Republic. Happy Canada,
whioh has escaped plagues of every kind.
Cables report an improvement in the
()tittle trade. At London Canadian cattle
are quoted at 5ad per lb., and sheep- Sad;
Argentine sheep 5d. At Liverpool cattle
are .5ad, and sheep 4ad per Ib.
Mr. J. W. Holmes, of Dereham,, litet
week threshed fifteen acres of wheirtt that
yielded 45 bushels per acre. An acre of
barley on'the same farm yielded 65 bush
els. Mr. Crotty also reports a wheat yield
of 45 'bushels per acre.,
The report of the secretary of the Kansas
state board of agriculture says the yield of
winter wheat aggregates 99,501,087 bushels
r with an exception of the crops of '91 and
2, the largest in the states' history. The
ield df oats is 25,151,379 bushels.
The wheat and Indian corn crops of two
f the finest provinces of Argentina were
estroyed by locusts, and, as a sequence, of
he distress among the agricultural classes,
here has been a series of commercial die -
eters, and still worse times are anticipated.
The National Apple Shippers' Assooia-
ion, of Buffalo, gives the Canadian per-
entage for 1897 as 40, based upon a full
rep. In the eastern section of the United
tates there has been a considerable falling
ff, and in some Western States a decided
norease. On the whole this year's crop
consideiTht trbelbartlearnt-beat-artrate-
ut is about equal to the average.

A dispatch from Vienna says that unfav-
orable harvest prospects in Austria-Hung-
ary, whioh have been aggravated by the
floods, have caused a rapid rise in the prices
of cereals, whioh are now higher than for
many years. The total wheat yield is oom-
puted at 27,000,000 metrio centals. This,
however, is far below the average, and will
leave almost no margin for exports, where-
as Hungary usually exports 12,000,000.
Mr. Geo. Nixon, of Hyde Park, bnt.,
threshed 188 bnahele of Dawson's wheat
from 4i• sores. This is 41fi bushels to the
acre. Other varieties, for instance- Gen-
oese and Demoorat-only recorded 31 bush-
els to the acre. This record is good, for
England's best production only averages 28
bushels to the acre, The United States
has only an average of some 11.8 bushels
to the acre. Ontario averages 19.2 to the
acre.
Hon Thomas Ballantyne, ex -speaker of
the Assembly, and one of Canada's largest
exporters of cheese said to the Toronto
World Saturday: -"Ontario will have the
largest hay crop in twenty years, and the
yield of wheat and oats will be away above
the average of late years. The weather ia
suitable for spring grains. Some damage
was caused to fall wheat by late heavy
raina, but they have done animmenso good
to root crops. I look for a greet improvc..
ment in trade; in fact, prospects are ex-
ceedingly bright. Exporta of cheese from
Canada are much larger than ever this
season, and prices are good."

Tuesday afternoon, while assisting in
the erection of a flag pole in Victoria Park,
Mr. Jas. Staebler, ex -Mayor of Berlin, was
badly injured by the falling of the pole on

as well as his collar bone. He was palling
on one of the guy ropes and resting, when
the support gave way.
It is estimated that to carry out the plan
as,now adopted by tne Canadian Govern-
ment for the policing of the Yukon will en-
tail an expenditure of a quarter million of
dollars, a large portion of which will have
to be.raised by governor's warrant. The
olaini of royalty, it is calculated, will near-
ly cover this cost.
