Grain receipts were somewhat larger than t}ley,ueually are. No bogs were offer- ed on the street and prices generally re- main firm and unchanged. Barley—Firm 300 bushels selling at 30o to 340; 200 bush- els of feed barley sold at 25o. Peas— Firm, 100 bushels selling at 440 to 45o. Oats—Firm, 1,000 bushels selling at 22o to 24o. Dressed hogs—None were offered on the streets. They are quoted fir.., at as high as $5.75 for light and 964.65 for eavy hods. MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MARKETS There were about 4C0 head of butchers' oattle, 10 calves and 100 sheep and lambs offered for sale at the east -end abattoir. The butchers were out in considerable num- bers, but trade was slow at thbbeginning, as higher prices were being asked for all sorts of meat-prodnoinganimals. The beet oattle were bought by butchers at about 3,}o per lb, a few bringing a little more; shippers bought a few head at from 3ic to 3o per lb. Pretty good stock sold at about 3o, and common animals at from net to 2 o per Ib. The calves were mostly offender age, and sold at from 52 to 56 each. Sheep sold at from 2ttc to Sic per Ib. Lambs sold at from 4o to 4&o do. One lot of 32 choioe lambs brought 41c per lb. Fat bogs sell at from 4c to 4lc per ib. The Export Apple Trade. The number of disappointing account sales that have recently been received by Canadian and American shippers exceed anything before experienced in the trade, and it is safe to say that the losses on ship- ments to the. English market this .seasali�„ have been heavier than ever before known. Among the ruinous returns received of late was a lot yf 450 barrels, showing net pro. ceeds,of £26, or about 20o per barrel. An- other lot of 150 barrels showed net pro- ceeds of £9, or a little over 25e per bar- rel. Then we hear of a lot of 2110 barrels bringing average het proceeds of 5c per bar- rel. It is ;,o be hoped that the recent im- provements in the foreign markets will con- tinue, so that shippers may have a chance tarecuperate on the terrible reverses they so far experienced. Dollar Wheat in Sigllt. An exchange says:—The wheat markets I • been exceedingly interesting for some months past. Speculation shows a large increase, and the steady advance in prices has afforded ample scope for money mak- ing. Prices,,in the leading markets have advanced 22c to 28c per bushel .since har• vest time. The oh'ort crops of the Argen. tine, Australia and India have stimulated the buying. The Britishers started the ball rolling and have it up pretty well. liven at the -advance there seems to be lit- tle lot-np. Ccnsequently stocks in -America E • declining fast. The visible supply in the United States and Canada, and the amount afloat to Europe combined now show a decrease of 11,000,000 bushels, com- pared with a year ago. Those who seem o know now talk of one dollar wheat in Chicago bei;ore May. E. W. Thompson, manager of the Ogilvie Milling Company, Winnipeg, speaks most ncouragingly of. the grain situation in Manitoba, He estimates the quantity of wheat yet to market at between three and oar million bushels, and this will be de- veredivery sparingly throughont the bal- nce of the season, as the farmers are ap- parently waiting for a furthur advance in prices. He says: "Wheat, on its merits, el • sell at higher prices in the very near ature• One dollar a baahel for wheat is within the range of possibilities." Apples in England. `Woodall & Co.,7of Liyerpool,under date Jan. 2nd, report as follows:— Arrivals to date....1,159,701. Against last Seascn.. 279,036. The season to date will be memorable ❑d one of bitter experience to most. The tnpendous°receipte have completely dwarf - any previous record, being 1,159,791 arrels, against 279,036 to same period last ear. The previous largest season was in 691, when 596,003 barrels were received. hese figures are to Liverpool alone, and scally represent the bulk of shipments to neat Britain, but this' is not the case to he same extent this year, as the total re - pts are over 2,200,000 barrels. ' London, WI previously w.as Glasgow, hae taken at • 355,000 barrels, and shipments have be • made to other ports where it" was ought possible an outlet might to found. TI Liverpool figures are, of coarse, im- ensely over any other port,land represent, king it from the lst of September to the et December, a supply of over 9000 bar• le daily. The largest was the week end - 24th October, when 107,782 barrels ar- ,ed, and the supply during the month asever 12,000 barrels daily. Prominenoe is purposely given to these atistics, not only to point out the contin- ue a d excessive quantity received into verool from the commencement, but rticularly to impress the fact that the distributing power of this port has been se- verely tried by directly supplying markets small and great which hitherto were very useful consumers. Now only has Liverpool received double the quantity ever known, 'but the marketsfrom whence assistance was to be expected have also been glutted be- yond require:nents. Condition and gnaliti to the end has been variable and unsatisfac- tory, and in Christmas week Apples be. came'almost unsaleable, many sales not re- aiiziu' g sufficient to cover freight and ex. penses. Taking tho cropas a whole, it compares unfavorably with those of pre - large years, and a prominent feature has been the the large quantity of very com- mon whish should never be shipped in sea.. sons of plenty. Newton Pippins have on- ly come forward in moderate quantities, and although no very high prices were made, results wire generally satisfactory, except for a few which arrived after the holiday demand was supplied, the top price of the season was 39/6 per barrel.
