and peril in that bear frequented forest

eight versts from their village in "the for

the only relic of some prosperous Tscher-

Then the shower of apples ceased, and
with a gruff snort ' a huge old bear came
tumbling out of the tree, almost on top

EEVIEW 01 THE LOCAL MAEXET.
Trade for the week past has been re
markably quiet for this season of the
year. ' There has been several small lots
of wool brought in, which were the clip
from mutton sheep. As yet, no market
prices are quoted for this season's wool.
The clip will be a large one, and the
itaple will be exceedingly fine. In prod
uce lines there is a depression. Butter
has declined and is coming in quite
freely,' Eggs are still down and with no
expectation of an advance soon.
The following clipping on the wheat
outlook is the Northwestern Miller, which
will be read with interest by our produc
ers. . . '
There is no doubt that the future of
prices hinges almost entirely on the
French crop prospects. In this connec
tion the following opinion of a very re
liable French house may be duly noted.
"In the hrst place the area sown is at
least 2.500.000 acres less than last year.
which, taken at the average yield of
eighteen bushels per acre, means 45,000,
000 bushels loss ; with regard to the area
damaged by frost and replowed, it is still
estimated to be at least one-fourth, or
say 4,500,000 acres. It remains to be
seen what amount of this will be resown
with spring wheat, but in any case, the
condition of the plant where it has not
had to be replowed is so unfavorable,
that even the most optimistic author
ities look for a further loss on this ac
count of 50,000,000 bushels compared
with last year. So that, altogether, we
must look for a crop 90,000,000 to 95,000,-
000 bushels short of last year's, which
was officially estimated at 336,000,000
bushels, but is commercially recognized
not to have exceeded 320,000,000 bushels.
Thus present indications point to a crop
of 225,000,000 to 230,000,000 bushels,
while Fmnnmnniiniin n.nnuallvI340.000.-
000 to 350,000,000 bushels. Under these
circumstances it is not surprising that
French farmers, who must still hold
plenty of wheat from the last good crop,
are indisposed to sell, so that foreign
wheat is already entering more largely
into consumption than might have been
thought. Already about 3,000,000 quar
ters have been imported into France in
the past seven months, which, even sup
posing the last crop was only 40,ow,ooo
quarters, is sufficient to supplement the
home crop if the latter were forthcoming
in larger quantities. 1 he large purchases
which have been made for forward de
livery, and which probably amount to
about 1,000,000 quarters, are therefore
destined- to help satisfy a future defi-
cinMr "
Looking at the indications of the crop
in France, as above shown, and the
more or less unfavorable prospects" in
Belgium. Holland. Germany and parts
of Russia, one cannot avoid thinking
that a much higher level of values is in
prospect in the not very distant future,
notwithstanding the large '-'quantity
afloat ; and I feel bound to say' that this
feeling is becoming very general ; that,
in fact, the trade is more than ordinarily
susceptible of a smart advance.
Potatoes are in excellent supply at
quotations and are freely offered. We
