The de clans brought out further scattered Liquida Tion and. We believe that this has run its course. Especially do we feel this Way in View of the continued unfavourable threshing returns which have been coming from the Southwest and also the soft Winter wheat Terri tory. We doubt that the average of these returns will Bear out govern ment estimates. Export demand was rather moderate today although a fail amount of quit wheat was worked. The basis locally was steady but Southwest premiums a trifle easier. Continued favourable weather conditions Over the Northwest with mod Erate temperatures brought consider Able pressure from that source and also tended to temporarily Check any consideration of the possibility of Black rust damage. Foreign advices and particularly from prance arc decidedly disquieting. It appears to if the decline of the last few jays has discounted in Large measure the bearish government figures. We be Lieve purchases on declines will be in order. Opened lower taut declines met heavy commission i Xuac absorption which continued intermittently throughout the session.

The weather Over the Belt continues mainly favourable although Rains Are wanted in important Aruo. The Trade regard the government Large y theoretical and there a growing realization that unusual growth must be recorded within the next 30 Days in Corn or a Complete re vision of crop estimates will follow. We believe the commission House buy ing today to be particularly Sig Jill Paiit of the general belief prevailing throughout the country. Opened off moderately and further closing 114 to 1% under last night. government figures on their face Ara bearish but. in Corn the crop has not yet been secured and uncomfortably High temperatures in the Belt with the Oats in a critical stage of development.

We do not share in the general Bear Ness regarding Oats prices we have persistently called attention to their relative cheapness compared with All other cereals.

Some of the horse classes were not so Large and attractive usual but this v.- off set by the increased showing of Fine Dairy and beef cattle and the splendid exhibits of hogs. The government building was a Strong new feature and Many Hun dred Manitoban realized for the first time the extent and value to them of the work that being Doue through these departments. The new Auto building was a Fine new feature also and we understand that All space in it was spoken for three years ahead before the build ing wa commenced so that it no doubt a sound investment Lor the exhibition Board. The Dairy exhibit was fully up to its usual Standard and the moving and rearranging or the Dominion government building added much to its usefulness. These Are matters that Are All to the Good. The rain was a risen cells appoint Montand must have most the management a considerable sum in Gate receipts. The exhibitors were disappointed and the showing was done under great disabilities but with commendable patience and Good nature. Possibly however the rain was not an unmixed evil for it certainly Laid emphasis on. The Down at Heel conditions of much of the stabling and the great neglect of the roads through the grounds and the Many spots that Long before this should have been filled in so that even a three Day rain would not Render them Quad Miami. When the Sun shining and it possible to be outside these mat ters Are not of but last week rubbed in the need of very substantial repairs in very Many parts of the grounds and buildings the great Lack of comfortable accommodation Tor exhibitors and More especially and particularly it Laid emphasis on the crying need of a building for women a subject which this column has brought to the attention of the management year after year. When the weather has been Fine the women with Little children have been uncomfortable enough but when it rained and Many of them coming in by train had not known of. The broken weather when they started their condition was deplorable. Of course the management will say f hat. They cannot afford to build after a season such they have just passed through. But fully 20 years they have been talking about such a building and the need of it has pressed upon them nothing has been done until they occupy the unenviable position of being the oldest class fair in the West and having the least and poorest provision or la Comfort of women and children at tending their fair. Even if it not possible to build a building for tue Ion of such unimportant guests women children suru y it Juhl be Economy and not extravagance to spend a few Houdre l dollars in hav ing some repairs done new so that judges and attendants would not run the risk of breaking their or peradventure Ioir necks by through the to Uii flooring of these place. This the i Hird year that some of the holes have been there and judging by the past they will probably be Tartre Shrue years hence.
