Paeifle Northwest aro to ba adequately rec ognized and If grades sro established that will bring for them their real value, there are two courses to follow. One Is to provide at least three grades above tha proposed ffrsde No. 1 to take cars of our fine quality oata This proposition la not likely to meet with favor In that It would automatically throw the great bulk of the Eastern osts rrop Into grade Nos. 3 and 4. and while the value of tha oata would not bo changed In any sense, tha mere fact that so much of tha oats would grade low Is distasteful -to many persons. hand, very little of our oats would grade itelow No. 3 so far as test weights and mols tura content Is concerned. Another plan is to establish a group for Western oats, with four grades snd sample grade for each class. With such an ar rangement the Agricultural College believes that it Is Inadvisable to allow more than 32 per cent as tho minimum moisture teat for grades Nos. 1 and 2 ' BIDS ON SACRED OATS RAISED Wfrcra Aro One Dollar Higher on Local Board Other i rains Meady. Tho only change of importance in grain bids at the local exchange yesterday was an advance of $t on sacked oats. Eastern bulk oats were about 60 cents lower. Corn and barley offers were not materially changed. Reports from Winnipeg say a maximum pries has been placed on October eats of $5H cnts, but shorts must fill their contracts or they will bo penalized. Staple Groceries. I. oral lobbing quotations: .
