The noise first was heard in Manitoba during the recent election there. But of course it is denied in this province by many who should be on the inside track and in the know. There does not appear to be any good reason why the McBride govern ment should go to the country at the present time with two more sessions in which to do business, and a majority ail their own. There does not appear to be anything to gain by. putting the country to the expense of another election,'unless it be to give the province a more representative government���������a house composed of representatives fresh from the wish of the people There is one of two things that is likely to happen should there be an ' election in the' province within the next two months���������either a house re turned to Victoria composed entirely of Conservatives or the leader of the present government to find that the country is' not so enthused over the present Conservative principles now as they were two years ago Two provinces within the past two months have returned Conservative governments to power but there has been in both provinces an increase in in the Liberal representation in the hew parliaments. Would this be the case in B. C. No one can foretell the result of any election. If Liber alism increases the further west one ' goes it might be just possible that we might have a change of administration altogther. (This -will no doubt tickle some of our Liberal readers especially if they keep enlarging on the possibilities which it suggests to them I The present activity'in the Conservative ranhs would indicate there is something under consideration at the present time as to whether ii-U mr (.ection or iri time -.vill tell. NEW WESTMINSTER MARKET There is every indication that the ' district around Mission City will not be considered backward any longer when speaking of us in regard to the fruit .industry, should the present prosperity among the fruit growers continue���������shipping out the raspberry in car load lots and re- ceving pay within a few days after the delivery of the goods. It looks very much like business indeed .No doubt the alliance is merely an experiment, in the experimental stage and it is up to the farmers to make it - permanent by shipping the very best fruit it is possible to ship, making a name for the district as tiie one from which the consumer can rely on getting the very best of fruit he wants and at a reasonable figure The pre sent advance augurs well for change in the fruit industry in this district The fruit can be grown around Hat- zic and Mission���������the "delicious and first class article, and there is no reason why the present demand will not only keep up, but increase to such an extent as to make this district a most desirable one to live in for fruit growers. As this is the season when the majority of the farmers throughout the Fraser Valley are busy making hay the attendance of the Valley residents at the New Westminster week- lv market Friday morning was not up to its usual standard. Attendance of residents was also not as large as on former days as many of them have gone to. their, summer homes at the various pleasure resorts. . Those who were present however, were eager to' buy and around all of the .stalls a : brisk appearance , was noticed despite the fact tho attendance was not so. large. Peaches, grown at Sardis, and at Burnaby were the new feature and sold at 75 cents the box for the shipment from Sardis, at 15 cents the dozen for the supply from Burnaby. Another new feature was fresh string beans which were good sellers at 12V& cents the pound . . . Eggs took a sudden rise n price and sold for 40 cents the dozen retail and 30 to 35 cents the dozen wholesale. A few of the vendors, held to the old price of 35 cents the ���������dozen retail. The usual large supply of butter was on hand and sold at ���������last week's quotations, viz., 30 to 35 cents per pound retail and 25 cents the pound wholesale. 'Devonshire cream was again a steady seller at 45 cents the quart and 2 5 cents per pint. Cottage cheese was on sale ae 10 cents the pound. Pure cream cheese sold at the regular price of 50 cents the pound. With the fishing season coming on and the Chinamen going away to do work in th canneries the large number,that are usually."present to^ buy the ducks and chickens were absent. There was an extra small <-'i;i.)i.l\- of due1-s ion .Land and tie uricVwas veT lev., the majori v going at 13 ' to, 15 cents the pound. Broiling chickens! remaine'd at.', the usual price of" 18 to 20 cents- the pound. In this line there was not the same brisk trading as is generally noticed. Potatoes at the,outside price were $1.50 per sack, while a small contingent went at $1.25 the sack. By the. ton they 'were $25. One man from Clayton held his potatoes at $2.25 the sack. Tomatoes were also somewhat cheaper and could be had at 12 1-2 to 15 cents the pound. Cucumbers, extra large, were 10 cents each, while some small variety- were sold at 5 cents apiece. Cabbages, lettuce, radishes and onions all remained at the usual price. Peas could be had for 4 .to 8 cents the pound. Around the fruit stalls raspberries and currants were' the best sellers going at 8 to 10 cents the pound for red currants and 10 to 12y2 cents the .pound for black \ currants. Raspberries were $1.25 to $2.00 the crate or by the box they were 5 to 15 cents according to quality. Rhubarb was 2 yz cents per pound. Black berries, both, tame and wild,, could be had for 12 1-2 cents per pound. The supply of gooseberries and-Cher ries was limited. In, the fish department the best (seller was fresh herring which went at the usual qrice of 3 pounds for -25 cents. .' Fresh salmon, also met a> ready demand ;at "12% cents, the pound for Red Spring and 50 cents each for white and sockeye. Hali-' but was at the regular price of 10 senls the pound. . With the "flower vendors the best sellers - were sweet peas by the bunch, and potted plants. The season ,for flowering plants is about over. The sweet peas went at 10 to 25 cents the bunch while the potted plants could be had for as small a price as 5 cents- each. The warm weather again affected the supply of meat and' the quantity was not very large. The best supply was that of veal which could be had for the price of 25 to 28 cents the pound. Squabs sold for 25 cents each, while grey and black rabbits ranged from 25 cents to $1.25 the pair.
