Th local egg market shows consider able weakness today on account of the larger receipts and tbe smaller demand at tormer prices. Today the price wnt down and th i highest figure now ruling is 37 '-j cents and if is much doubted at this time whether the market will go any ;higher in the near future. The reason for the reaction in the egg market is because the price has been strained beyond the reason for tbe lresh stocks when the figures get beyond a certain lia.it the cousumption drops off and this causes stocks to accumulate and lower prices invariably follow. It is not thougho that there will be any consider able disturbance in the egg marae lor some time, but it would he just as (tvell tor the larmer to ship his goods into market as soon as they are ready. This ill save the market irom being glutted at any particular time and help also to keep the prices from going down too much at a time. Accumulations of eggs and their subsequent shipment into the market at one time will nave but one effect that of causing the market to slump. ' CREAMERY BUTTER IB WEAKER. It is apparent to everyone on the street that the butter market is not in the very best of condition, the receipts being cousiderably larger than they w-re for some time and the demand is rather off for the moment. It is almost certain that the. price of creamery but ter will go still lower should the present eatber conditions exist lor some time. Already tbe dealers report that they are filled to overflowing with local pro duct. Home of them are selling the best reamery at 67 !4 cents per two-pouud roll, while a malority of them are still Bking 60 cents or 30 cents a pound for tbat grade. Store and dairy butter is coming in very fast at this moment and tbe market id considerably weaker . No changes occur in the1 quotations of these two grades today . LARGER POULTRY RECEIPTS, The coming of the rains has brought in a large Bupply of wild clucks froui np the valley and this fact somewhat inter. feres with tbe ordinary poultry, me market has been quite bare of freBh wild gme for some time and the receipts of todu;' were moyed at fair prices. GOOD HOP MOVEMENT. According to various local hop men there are now remaining in the state of this year's crop about 15,000 bales and the outwara movement continues just aB active as it was during the previous week. The extra fancies are still being held at 25 cents, while 23 and 24 cents is being offered and accepted for the choice grades. The movement of primes is very large at this time, but there seems to be but little call for the very cheap grades. WHEAT IS VERY WEAK. The local wheat market shows con siderable weakness on account of tbe general lowering of quotations all over tbe world. In tbe Kast there has been a general reaction in the prices on wheat and the same is true of the foreign countries. The demand for flour from the Orient is nominal and the dealers have come to the conclusion that they are filled up. This is especially true of Japan, which country bought a very large supply for war purposes, "ine price of fbur in the Orient is not the question now," says a local flour man, 'lor the reason that there is absolutely no demand. If we shaved our flour 5 cents a barrel I don't think that it would make a particle of difference in the demand from those countries." The local flour market continues about the Bame with quotations and demand about normal. ORANGES WILL BE CHEAPER. According to all present indications the price of oranges this year will be much cheaper than those tbat ruled a year ago Hie larger-sized crop will be tbe principal cause. According to the estimates of prominent California o anee men that Btate will produce about 27, 000 carloads of oranges this season The yield latt year was about 20,000 car loads.

Ashburnham, Ont., April 18 19031 think it is onlvriuht that I should . trll what a wonderful effect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed with a cold and cough that 1 uiu not think to be able to take anj duties the next day, as my voice was almost choked by the cough Tbe same day I :eceived an order from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. I at once procured a sample bottle, and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great re lief the cough and cold had completely disappeared and I was able to preach three times on Easter Day. I know that this rapid and effective cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testimonial without solicitation, be ing thankful to have found such a God Sent remedy. Respectfully yours, E. A.
