S. F. Leonard, seedsman, Chicago, who 

 suffered heavy loss by fire a few years 

 ago; has effected a settlement with two- 

 thirds of the insurance companies. The 

 question was as to the cause of loss, fire 

 or explosion.

Clover seed receipts at Toledo, 0., for 

 the week ending Jan. 5 were 5.54 bags; 

 against 1,862 a year ago. For the season 

 to Jan. 5 the receipts have been 48,885 

 bags; against 103,()S(J bags for the cor- 

 responding period last vear. Shipments 

 were 3,793 for the week and 39.300 for 

 the season to date; against 5,800 for the 

 week a year ago and 78,144 bags for the 

 corresponding portion of the preceding 

 season. 



J. F. Zahm & Co. write: The receipts 

 of clover seed at Toledo continue very 

 light, and we see no indication of any 

 increase in the near future. Shipments 

 out of here show an increase, most of the 

 seed, however, having been sold several 

 weeks ago. Some dealers say they have 

 been unable to sell any cash seed since 

 the market advanced, but that is only 

 natural. The Eastern buyers are always 

 slow in following the advance when' they 

 are in no hurry for the seed. 



C. A. King & Co. report that: De- 

 cember receipts of clover seed at Toledo 

 were the smallest for that month in many 

 years. They have been 5,000 bags, 

 against 10,300 last vear; 10.200 two years 

 ago; 17,000 in 1897, and 7,300 in 1890. 

 January receipts are generally smaller 

 than tlie December and may be a little 

 this season. February shows no materia! 

 chaffge, while March generally shows a 

 large increase, dealers sending in their 

 surplus, which this year is expected to 

 be very small. December shipments were 

 also very small. They were only 3,700 

 bags, against 12.000 year ago, 4,000 in 

 1898, 12,800 in 1897, and 1,800 in 1890.
