There has been little activity in any section of the grain and produce xnarv yet this week. The spring wheat sowing, which was delayed in some parts of the province by unfavourable weather, is practically complete. It has been impossible to sow some areas which were intended for wheat, particularly in the Ellesmere district, and earlier estimates of a total area of 300,000 acres have had to be revised. Growers are reminded that the last day for forwarding current season’s f.a.q. milling wheat is November 30. Wheat, held after that date will miss the final payment of 3d a bushel for this season’s crop. •No announcement has been made about further export of potatoes to Australia, and little interest is being taken in the market.
