The football world is now in a quandry and for weeks the one questiotn. on the lips and minds of the followers of the greatest ' pf all college games will be; "What will be the effect of the changes in rules which were announced recently?" The seven .main changes can be briefly summarized as follows; The abolition of the flyingtackle interlocked interference as well as pushing, and pulling the man with the ball and the longitudinal lines on the; field; the division of 'the' time into four fiteen-minule per- ��������� iods; the limitation of the forward pass to twenty yards; giv- -|-1~ tho ends right-of-way in the twenty-yard zone in getting under punts ; alloAving players taken from *he.game for slight injuries to a- gain enter. Coaches generally are supposed to bq liberal. Some are of the .opinion the game will be benefitted. Others favor ^oir.e of the changes, but refuse to condemn the new rules as a whole until they have been given a trial.

Sept. '26, 1910 W. E. Scott, .Esq., . Deputy Minister of Agriculture Victoria, B. C. Dear dr. ���������' . I have the honor to report as follows; To Summa ize; Peache3 are prac- ticallyC'over and-prunes are nearly so, crabs are scarce and'in great demand at high prices. .- Just here I may. say jobbers are discouragr ing the shipping of .crabs in other thani the reg.ulat'apple box or the half apple box as growers and ship Xiers when quoting and shipping do mot state the size or kind of box giving cause) for dissatisfacton among jobbers and retailer's by the usee- of various sizes.' I certainly think it advisable for ahippejrs- to use a uniform box, leaving no cause for complaint and misleading, or giving dissatisfaction 'among buyers by using different sizes of boxes aa they are doing at th������ present time, Pears are :in great demand and pri.'es are high, sppes ofg.ood quality and pack are in goo<% demand and fairly high prices, *auad although some quotations frrora American points are low, good stock is fetching reasonably- high prices here\ Apples in New York state are reported as being bought at- $3.00 per bbl with the expectation tbfot prices wild, advance in the' near (future.. Prices for Ontario apples' as the, season ad vanees are risin,g with a very short crop.of poor quality. Reports coming to hand from various sources statel the East> must idraw largely on the West for their supply ;of apples this,season, and for. these, and other, reasons/ I ��������� would advise B. C. shippers to hold firm, to present iprices being asked .for good srock, and, at the. same tim,e,.mairi- tain the present high standard of/ fruit.being shij.psd into these markets at preseentt ime., j.

New .Westminsterr, Oct. 1���������The number of district fairs this week showed an effect on the city market this 'morning, the farmers being fewer in number, their time hayin'g. been taken up to much with their di'sVct exhibits', to alicw them to attend. The fact that the exhibition will be hel'd'm" this city next week also had its effect many, of the farmers holding their produce back in anticipation "���������". of a larger market and consequent better prices next week. The main result was that the quantity of produce offered was less, than usual although trading was brisk. The- -meat market was rather more than a good average altho in comparison with recent weeks a little slack. There was comparir tively. little '.meat offering at whole sale, the atoek ;raisers " holHLng their animals back in anticipation of better prices Jater. Veai was was rather more pleantiful than last week and sold .from 10 to 11 cents according to size.. There was a fair isupply of mutton on hand and plenty of pork. < ;i The poultry market showed the usual heavy supply of birds for this time,' of the year.. Although the demandf or chickens was strong yet the supply was more, than.suf f i cient to cover all requirements and prices accordingly riilfed -low- Jer than last week. The majority of the( birdss offered were spring chickens, for Which $7 a dozen was being asked and $6 received. Broiler!? sow from $4.50 to,$5.50. Fruit was represented almost entirety by apples. The supply ,was not large and alti offered were read ily. disposed of. Prunes, 'many of which havei been offered -lately, weite1 entirely absent. A few dam- eohs were, offered and sold ,at five cents a pound. A o'quajntifty- ,of. blackiberrieis retailed at three l,bs. for 25 cents. Pojfcatoes iwere plentiful and in bulk ,so3d fat $20 a ton, in smaker quantifies at v$l a sack. Vegetables were handled in smaJ/1 quantities-and realized good prices. Tomatoes sold wholesale at 20 pounds for $i.40, and best picked potatoes at $1.2.5 a sack; honey in comb .sold -at 25ca box. Flowers were weld in evidence and the following prices were being quoted.
