• The Dominion Finance Departmen
has handed out a final statement
revenues and expenditures for the las
fiscal year ending March 31st. Th
total revenue was $96,054,505, and th
total expenditure on consolidated fun
account was $76,641,451. The surpin
of revenue over ordinary eapenditur
is, therefore, $19,413,054, or nearly hal
a million more than was estimated b
Hon. W, S. Fielding in his budge
speech last March. The capital expen
ditnre for the year was $35,253,979, th
greater part of which was in' the con
strnotfon of the National Transcon.
tinental Railway. The total expendi-
ture on both oonsoimdeted fend and
capital accounts was $111,895,431,
which was $15,840 925 more than the
total revenue. Canada paid out of
revenue last year all the ordinary ex.
pewee of government, all expenditures

Nationai Transcontinental, and even on
thin about four millions was applied
front the revenue. The net debt at the
close of tee fiscal goer was $277,060,250..
For the first three months of the present
sca
fil year -there has been a decrease of�
$4,400,000 in revenue, due to the tem-

0. P. R. Vice -President Gives an
Idea of the Probable Condition
of Labor in West.
STRATIWONA, Alba,, July 23.—Wm .
Whyte, vioe•president of the Canadian
Peoifie Railroad, when seep by your
correspondent regarding the crop pros-
pects, said:
"From all information I o. gather
from those capable of ex . easing an
intelligent opinion, it wo• d seem as if
twenty-five thousand h vesters would
be required to ga er • • e crop.
"The probable a es given will range
from two to titre ' i altars when by the
day, with board, and will probably av
erage $2 50.
"On this basis men will lose their
wages for time not worked,althoagh there
will be no redaction for board on the t
account.
"In arriving at these figures, all ap-
plications above reasonable figures have
been eliminated.
"Harvest operations should begin by
August 15.
••Crops between Calgary and Edmon-
ton are looking very well and nearly
three weeks ahead of last year,
"I am also informed that the crop of
ail wheat in southern Alberta is in good
condition and gives promise of a large
yield."

Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, Jaly 28, --Though there was
a oomperatively light run at the Wast -
ern Cattle Market to day, the dealers
say the supply was even greater than
the demand.
"The hot weather is to blame," said
one big buyer. 'People won't eat much
meat in hot weather. They prefer
fruit. And then there are eo many folks
out of town that it makes a considerable
difference in the demand for meat."
There were 66 cars on the market,
containing 945 cattle, 1,547 sheep and
lambs, 450 hogs and 223 calves,
Export cattle were a shade easier,
ranging from $5.60 down to a little less
than $5 for choice,
Cows were also a trifle easier,
The sheep trade was good, and more
of the woolly creatures could have bee a
sold had they been supplied ,
There were Iota of iambs and calves ,
and they were a bit dull.
On the whole, trade was dell and the
quality of cattle only fair,
