The weather has been extremely favorable for farming operations. Wheat—Good sound milling samples are worth from 4s 6d to 4s 9d per bushel, f.0.b.; second quality, 4s to 4s 4d; chick wheat, 3s to 3s 6d per bushel.

B ar ley_Good malting samples are saleable at from 2s 9d to 3s 4d per bushel ; second class, 2s 3d to 2s 7d ; feed, Is 9d to 2s per bushel. Potatoes—A few orders are coming to hand and are being executed at from 25s to 30s per ton, f.o.b.
