" WHEAT GOIN4l eta —Studente of the Mar-
ket reports during the past week or so will
have noticed that the. price of wheat has
been on the rise. It will be welcome news
not -only to the farmers but to merchants to
know that the price is still going up.. This. 1
.theory of a further rise is strengthened by
the fact that milers ell over the province
are buying up .large stocks of Manitoba and
other wheat for -May and ),June delivery.
From this it would seeth that they suspect
a considerable increase in the price and are
anxious to secure there etock while grain is
at the present low 'price. Should this theory
beceme a reality it will go far towards re-.
lieving the financial stringency under which
farmers and merchants are la,bormg. Com-
petent authorities also state that should t•he
price of wh•-eat keep -up there will be a very,
consider& inerease in trade with Manitoba
when nayigatiou opene.
FM' SERVICE INsPECTOR.—Considerable
exeitement was occasioned on Monday morn-,
ing by the sounding of the fire alarm and in
an incredibly 'short time Main street was
lined with people, all anxiously inquiring
where the fire was. It was soon learned;
however, that the alarm was given by the in-
spector of the Fire Underwriters' Association
for the purpose of 'testing the efficiency of
the fire service, to see if it were sufficient to
permit retaining the townrate of its -present
standard: The alarm was given, nnknown
to the firebriaade and when the appliance
>0 .4
was oat the firemen were in a quandary as
to which way to turn,however,from the very
shorttime af four minutes from the first
sound of the ala,rmi three- forcible streams
were at play. The Inspector was very well
satisfied. witlathe efficiency of the brigade,
but said it would be .necessary to have a
better system of fire alarm .and in his le -
port probably recommend- sonie, other.
