Notice‘of changes must be loft at this office PRODUCE AND The abundant crop of wheat as a natural consequence has reduced the price of this commodity to a certain extent. There is nothing that has so permanent an effect on the market as the law of supply and demand. Bulls and bears may have periodical effects on any market, but their . cefâ€" forts are seldom or ever lasting. Wheat dealers are governed very much in their trade by what is known as the visible supply. It is said by the cash grain men in < Chicago that while the public houses show holdings of 11,500,000 bushels of wheat, of which 7,000,000 bushels are contract, that private houses hold at least 10,000,000 bushâ€" els of the contract kind. Mr. J. Herâ€" bert Ware sold a big line of long wheat a couple of days ago, in which losses are . said to have occurred. Whether this was for Mr. Ware‘s perâ€" sonal account or for a customer has not been reported. Northwestern and southwestern news was still bearish when last recetved. It is a fact as far as the farmer is concerned that he is better off, when he has produce to offer, even if prices be low, than to have big prices ofâ€" fered for produce when he has non> to sell. As far as wheat is concerned of course Onrtario is not a wheat proâ€" «ucing country as compared with the Canadian _ Northwest. _ Nevertheless Ontal;io farmers as a tule believe in raising at least their own bread and a little to sell. Wheat is now worth about 70 cents a bushel or perhaps a trifle better can be realized for the best standard quality. It can very casily be seen by farmâ€" ers that oats at 38 to 40 cents / is rather better than wheat at 70 .cents a bushel. Wheat at 70 cents or less would pay very well to feed to hogs, with pork at its present price. One .thing certain, the poor man can be sure of a cheap loaf for anothâ€" er year at Jeast, which is a greal boon to the world at large. A new market for butter is likely to be opened up which is reported y the Department of Agriculture at Otâ€" tawa, as Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Dairy Commissioner, has received several emquiries from ltalan dealers as to the possibility ‘of Canadian makers shipping tinned butter to their counâ€" try. These enguiries have been â€" forâ€" warded as a result of the Canadian exhibit of tinned butter at the Milan exhibition. Whether this market wil! amount to much or not remains to be seen, but the effect of advertisim; at forcign exhibitions is thus well exemplified. 25, WESTERN PROSPERI1Y. We often speak of th» Canadian Northwest as being one of the most prosperous provinces in the Dominion.

SHORT OF HELP IN MANITOBA Gathering of Grain in the Northâ€" land Province will be Late.â€" Snortage of $8,000, °* Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. 17. â€" With the demand for help exceeding the supply, and little expectation for enough men to meet the requirements of the provincial farmers, the outloOk for early harvesting throughout Manâ€" itoba is not bright. Nine thousand men have already arrived from the East this week, and two more excurâ€" sions are expected on Sunday with another 8,000.. The increased demand for men will make the supply proporâ€" tionately shorter than in 1905, and the farmers in southern parts of the province are likely to experience great difficulty im obtaining suflicient men to help them with their work,. _ The reason for the shortage was explainâ€" ed by officials as being due to the in creasing demand for farm help in the castern provinces, where good wages are being offered to agriculturists as a counterâ€"inducement to the Westerin excdus. "he wages which are being offeres in Manitoba average from $2 to $2.45 per day, with board, for barvesting, and there is a promise of better monâ€" ey for the heavier work of threshing. The estimated number required in the province this year is estrmatet near 25,000 and the shortage wil therefore amount to 8,000, but it : expected that the number of excur sionists who will stay over â€" afte finishing their first engagements wil be enough to finish up the work, and the lack of men wifl most likely culy result in late harvesting in thos parts of the country where the de mand will be in excess of the supply for the next few weeks. At the private employment ofice: they are doing a lot of business. There was a big demand for . me chanies in the city, and laborers both for the farm and railway work, wein wanted in the West by the bundred Wages for. the latter were averaging from $2.235 to $2.50 per day, and fion $140 to $50 per month with board. An interesting point is being dis cussed in various municipalities . a: to whether any Council has the righi to pay the expenses of a representaâ€" tive or representatives it «may ap point to attend the convention of the Union of Canadian Municipalities o other..conventions of a similar char acter. In most towns and cities th expenses of the delegates are pait and no complaint is made, but _ last year a citizen of Ottawa obtained ar injuncticn restraining the city : fron paying the expenses of the Mayor a: delegate to the convention of 1905, and later the act was changed to try and meet the situation, but City So licitor MeViecty, of the capital city, bhas given it as his opinion that the chinge in the wording has not the intended effect. The Law That Appliecs. The expenditure of money for such purposes is governed by section 59t of the Municipal Act, which reads as follows: % ‘"‘The council of any city may > in clude in the annual estimates a sum to be expended in the reception anc cnitertainment of distinguished guest: and any travelling expenses (necesâ€" sarily incurred in and about the busiâ€" ness) of the corporations, which sum shall, in the case of citiecs having a population of 100,000 "or over, be not more than $5,000; in the case of oth er cities having a population of 20, 000 or over, not more than $1,000, and in the case of other cities not more than $500 in any year.

Ottawa, Aug. 17.â€"The Minister of Militia will convene in the fall a conâ€" ference in Ottawa with the Provinâ€" cial authorities, to secute the cgâ€"opâ€" cration of the latter in giving a cerâ€" tain amount of military train‘ng to all school boys old crough to underâ€" stand the use of the rifle.
