arn beginning to come in. There is a good 

 crop of these of excellent quality. Early 

 apples turned out pretty well around here 

 and some very nice fruit has been shipped. 

 Mr. T. H. P. Carpenter, of Winona, had 

 some particularly fine samples of Astrachans 

 and Duchess. There has been a heavy dro]) 

 of apples and both fall and winter varieties 

 will not be more than a moderate croii, nor 

 will the quality be anything extra. 



The better plums are commencing to come 

 on the n.arket. such as Washington, Brad- 

 shaw, Imperial Gage, etc. Washingtons and 

 Bradshaws are a good crop in the district 

 this year but the Bradshaws are inclined to 

 run small in a good many orchards. 



Grapes still look very well. They will be 

 nearly an average crop ; red grapes over au 

 average and of good quality. The markets 

 are in a very healthy condition from a fruit 

 growers' point cf view and the prospects are 

 for somewhat better prices than ruled last 

 year. A qviantity of fruit and tomatoes is 

 going to the west from here already ; seven 

 cars left Winona alone on Aug. 20th with 

 the west as their destination. 



The better class of peaches are going to 

 be a pretty good crop, not quite as heavy 

 as last year, in mj' estimation, but some 

 think that there will be just as many. El- 

 liertas are not nearly as good a crop. 



Tomatoes are plentiful and the price has 

 r.-llen. 



Plums are rotting quite badly in unspray- 

 otl orchards. 



The following was the range of prices on 

 the Hamilton market on August 20th. 



Fruits : Blackberries, per crate, Sf2.25 to 

 $2.50; red currants, per crate, $1.25 to 

 $1.50; gooseberries, per basket, 75c to $1;

Thoroughness in construction 

 insures 



against loss of tone, and tone is the most im- 

 portant factor in any piano. In every "Gourlay" 

 piano, the expert knowledge of its builders and 

 the determination to use nothing but the best. 



either in labor or material, produces a sympath- 

 etic richness of tone that is unmatchable among 

 Canadian pianos. 



We publish a booklet on "Piano Construction" that 



every prospective piano buyer should read.
