For the month ended Saturday the receipts from customs were $4,657,- 412, es compared with $3,916.018 for the same month of last year. For the past three mattes the customs revenue ag- gregated $12,835,643, a gain of $1,506,- 073 over the first quarter of the preview! Banal year. The Provincial Government has amid - ed to make an investigation into the condition of the horse industry in the province with a view to deciding as to the best policy to adopt to encourage more extensive breading of a better class of horses. The province will be divided into eight districts and two expert Noise -t men arid be selected and allotted to eaoh district. Pcblio meetings will be held and the farmers' inetitutee asked to co- operate in the work of investigation. The chief grain inspector at Winnipeg has furnished a statement in which he eatimates the acreage in crop in the West tbia year thea: Wheat. 4,500,000 acres; oats, 1,800,000 acres; barley, 500,000 acres, and flax 55,000 mores. Besides there axe seeded some .30,000 acres of fall wheat in Alberta. After a tour of inspection at the end of August the conclusion was reaohed by the grain dea'era that, although there was an in- oreate of some ten per cent in the acre- age, the total yield would not exceed that of last year, or, say, at most, a orop of 85,000,000 bushels of wheat. The fact 'was recently noted that ex- periments had been conducted in the Western States in the production of alcohol from corn stalks. Country Gentleman now informs ns that these experiments indicate that a yield of 15 gallons oan be obtained from a tog of stalks, after the cobs have been remov- ed, In the Western States these stalks ars not fed as they are here, and their removal from the field actually involves an expense to the grower, so that if they can be turned to account in the making of alcohol a double profit should be ob- tained. It is believed tomato parings and pear halls from canning factories Dan be used to like purpose. The fakirs and peddlers ha're been doing the country. Good crops always being them. They ate selling patent rights, taking orders for enlarging pic- tures, soliciting for books and maps. selling cloth for men's wear --cloth that "escaped duty at the port"—offering dna are or cutlery very cheap, selling soap and throwing in a prize, and un- loading worthless stuff generally. It used to be a peddler was poorly clad, bat nowadays the peddler is a well- dressed, prayerful, smooth propesitian, male or female. He or she is smart, dressed neatly, and ready to say grace at the table, lead in high -five, dance the two-step, milk the cows or make the piano sing and talk. To please people while robbing them is the peddler's mission on earth. days. Provisional arram/emente were Made for the induction of M.

JOG p,.rrt Stook Markets, Toronto, tint 2 --The run at the Qty Cattle market to -day wee 63 loads, with 049 tatata of cattle, 1883 ,heap and lambs, OR hogs and 108 calves. Trade was good and briek for good butcher cattle to -day, but the trouble is that good butcher oattle are very soaree. There are very few ohoioe cattle of any kind offering just now, though there le a little improvement in quality observe able, and it la thought there will be some good cattle in the market in a week or two, The poorer oleos otesttle are being cleared out first. Choice butcher oattle sold readily to -day at $4.25 to $4 50, and all in this class were pinked up early. Medium to fair mixed butcher oattle sold steady at la*t week's prices around $3 50 to $4, Goed butcher cows were firm at at $3.25 to $3 50. Rough, infer- ior cattle are weak. There is quite an aotive demand for feeders, and so far the number offering bas been a little disappointing to the buyers, who say they are open to buy as many as can be sent along at the present time, and they plaint that the market will never be better, beoause later on too many will be coming in at the finish of the season, waren prides may be expected to break, Lambs are firm and a little higher. Sheep are steady. Hogs are arm this week, with very light offerings, the run to -day being only 500, when it was expected it would have been much heavier. The market went up 150 higher.
