New Westminster, Feb. 20.��� I There was a fair market yesterday. considering the very stormy and i wet weather, with a fair attendance ot sellers. Generally a good supply of all lines of produce ruled, which fouud a ready sale. A number ot j fine animals were sold in the rings j at good prices. In meat, beet was not so plentiful j but of good qnality, while lamb and j mntton were short of demand. Veal bad a fair supply, with a short de-1 mand. Pork was in good supply and all sold readily. The supply of eggs was satisfactory and the expected sudden drop came, the market opening at 35c and closed much weaker, owing to large importations arriving daily,, and a further decline may be ex- pected. Hotter held at old prices j and does not warrant an early' change. Victoria, Feb. 20.���On Monday Hon.

Gibson, Ottawa, read a most excellent paper at tbe fifth annual convention of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association, held in Ottawa, on the 4th and 5th of this month, on the influence of tbe special seed plots scattered here and there throughout the country, in encouraging a greater interest in some of the first essentials toward the ultimate .occe-is of all agricultural endeavor.
