A letter has been received from Private Tim Jenkins, the well known Neath Rugby forward, of the Welsh Pioneets, which proves conclusively that the reports freely circulated of his death are. to say the least, "grossly exaggerated." At the time of writing from the Dar- danelles a week ago, Tim was very much alive. He makes some caustic remarks regarding the Welsh coal strike, and says if only the strikers could spend one day out there and gaze upon the little wooden crosses that dot the mountain sides and see the everyday sacrifices of the soldiers they would cease their murmurings.

On Friday evening, at the United Methodist Chapel, Skewen, a public meeting of welcome was held, under the auspices of the Skew en and Neath Abbey Reception Committee.

They feelingly responded, and thanked all for their splendid welcome home. During the evening solos were rendered by Miss Abbott and Mr. Edwin Curtis, Mr. Tom John. Neath Abbey, giving a recitation.

A hearty "welcome home" was accorded to Mr. Tom Nicholls, of Caeglas, after hie stay of some two and a half year* engaged in important copper smelting work at Me.1- siria,- South Africa. Prior to his departure, early in 1913, he was well-known through- out the district M a prominent public man, being one of Coedffranc's representatives on the Neath Rural District Council. It is his intention to return to Messina. at tn early date. It is most gratifying to a large circle of -friends to notice the decided improvement in health cf Mr. Morgan Edwards, one of the assistant teacherb at the Coedffranc Boyw Council School. For some inonth-r. prior to the recent summer vacation, he had periods of rather indifferent health, and was unable to attjend to his duties as usual. As a teacher he is extremely popular with his pupile, and they were greatly concerned because of his continued illness. Their joy was intense when they saw him at his accustomed post at the re-opening of the school after the holidays. The proposal to have a Russian Flag Day for Skewen ind Neath Abbey should com- mend itself to all and sundry. So far, we have not had a flag day ip this locality. All our war contributions up to the present have helped in other directions. We trust that when the opportunity presents itself we ehall all rally with ono accord on be- half of our Euesian Ally's flag. We under- ,stand that, in addition to the sale of the flairs, there will be a house-to-house canvas, when all the people in every street will lie invited to tfivo a ainall contribution.

He was directed to write time once more.—The auditor's report was presented by the chair- man, who said that the auditor had found everything satisfactory. The Council ex- pressed its satisfaction at this.—Councillors R. Jones and T. Lloyd proposed and seconded respectively: "That the four dis- trict councillors be asked to inspect Graham's-terrare and Woodland-road, in order to see whether they are being made according to the specfleations authorised by the Neath District Council; and further, that this Oouinil is of the opinion that the mresent foundation j". not suitable for the heavy traffic expected from the quarry (on Graham's-terrace)."—This was carried. —————- 1P —————

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE GRAIN AND FLOUR TRADES. By J. K. CARTHEW, Grain Expert. Since posting my last review to the date of drafting this, the weatlier has been bo, dry, and summerlike—on the whole, highly favourable for agriculture. Roots of all sorts, green vegetables, fruit, etc., have made steady growth. The cereal harvest throughout England has xomdo rapid pro- gress, and will soon extend to Sootland. All kinds of live stock are healthy and doing well. Trade in fat stock oontinucs very good, and prices are firm: Beef, 9id. to is. mutton, 9d. to la. Id.; pork 7id. to 9ti per lb. Business in wool is rather better: Washed Is. 5d. to 1e. 6d., unwashed Is. id. to Is. 2ri. per lb. Threshing winter wheat in the United States and Canada is in full swing, and the results, speaking generally, ers satisfactory. Harvesting spring wheat im both countries is making rapid progress, and up to the present there are few, if any. complaints of injury by black rust or frost. Given normal weather for a few weekt longer it will be an excellent crop of wlmaj both in quantity and quality. The cereal harvest in Europe is verj nearly finished, and threshing the new grain is progressing", the results on the whole being satisfactory. Very favourable reports continue to be re- ceived of the growing crops in Australia and Argentina, but the rainfall in India is as yet insufficient. Seeding the new crops, however, will not commence for some time. Shipments of foreign wheat to Europe are only moderate, but they will soon per- ceptibly increase. There is little Old Enp- lish wheat remaining, but supplies of new- grain are fairiy large, and speaking gener- ally, the equality and condition is satisfac- tory. Warehouse stocks rather lowel".

Weekly shipments of foreign wheat am small, but they will soon materially in- crease. Reports of the crops, both those just harvested end others growing, highly satisfactory. There is plenty, of wheat, in the world, and markete will prob- ably rule dull, with an easier tendency. Looked at all round, the war outlook has mproved for' the Allies, and it will con- tinue to do NO. They are gradually oad surely getting stronger, whilst the enemy ia not, but rather the contrary. FEEDING STUFF FORECAST. The consumption of dry food is quite up to the normal for the time of year, it be- ing stimulated by the good prices ruling for fat stock. Prices of feeding etulfs one high and may be about maintained, but I eee bo likeli- hood of an appreciation in valum, and therefore no inducement to speculation. Regulate purchases by requirements is the course to pursue.
