April eont:tins some valuable infer-
motion weeding the wheat supply
of the world. For the past three
years it was as follows, the :figures re.

It will thus be seen that. the world's
wheat crop as nearly 2,400,000,000.
in two years the product of North
Aiiierica fell off 237,000,000 bushels,
whereas that ,of Europe increased
225,000,000 and South America in-
ereased 31,000,000.
• The wheat product of Americo for
three years- ,vas as follows:

America produced 31 per cent of
;the world's crop in 1891, 26 percent.
in 1892 and only 22 per cent. in
1893. This will explain wliy a de-
• cease of over 200,000,000 bushels in
the two years in America has not ne-
cessarily been followed by a great
increase in price. Europe produces
one-half of the entire crop and in 1893
• her crop exceeded that of I891 by
more than the falling off in America.
Here are the principal wheat • pro -
clueing countries of Europe :
1891 1892 1893

It will thus be seen that the wheat
• crops .of Russia and France stand
next to that of the United States, and
the wheat crop of Great Britain may
soon be surpassed by that of Canada.
The falling off in wheat production
in Great Britain may be seat from
the following statement for 1873 and
18933 :

We may tl en look for an increase
in British emancls for wheat and
flour. Gros Britain demands an-
nually about 160,000,060 bushels of
'ayheat in gran and flour. In 1890-

Over three-fourths of the wheat of

key produces from 45,000,000 to 50,-
000,000, and Japan and Persia from
15,000,000 to 20,000,000 each. In
Africa the production is divided
about as follows : Algeria, 19,000,000;
:Egypt, 10,000,000; Cape Colony, 4,-

The cal:adieu Woo] Cilie,? for 1894.
The following circular, issued 'lay
Mr. John Hallam, 'of Toronto, a large
dealer in wool, will prove of interest :
"With reference to . the prospects
of the coming clip of wool and the
prices to be realized, there is nothing
definitely known, The delay at
Ottawa in settling the tariff on wool-
len goods has created an inclustri€il
uncertainty and a want of confidence
in the future of the trade, The
proposed change in the tariff from
coiupound to purely ad valorem
duties will seriously embarrass the
tweed, blanket and yarn manu-
factories, • They will not be able to
successfully compete with the shoddy
.goods of Huddersfield and Dewsbury
under the propesed changes unless
the government takes the duty off
coal, machinery and other 'articles
now taxed and used as raw material.
This is having a very depressing
effect on the price of our domestic
wools and oil the Woollen trade in
general, - Koine competition has
reduced -the price of Canadian tweeds,
blankets and. yarns . to the lowest
possible point, and if Canadian mills
are subjected to the keen competition
of these goods under an ad valorem
duty with England,. France and Ger-
many where machinery and all raw
material are free of duty, it simply
means shutting up, some of the mills.
In my opinion this change in the
tariff will only benefit the importing
and ready-made clothing trade.-
The
rade:'1'1ie passing of the Wilson bill will
not affect the prices of Canadian
wools, as the domestic wools of the
United States are now as low, if not
lower than in Canada, but notwith-
standing this, I an afraid there will.
be some speculation that may raise
the price of our domestic wools be-
yond their present values, 'relying on
the'expectation that where. the duties
are taken off in the United States,
the 'price will rise. The Americans
are not changing their tariff. 'on wools
to give the Canadian wool growers
more money for their clip, but simply
to give the manufacturers of the
United States free wool, at the lowest
possible price in competition .with
English and foreign wool markets, and
if the dealers and manufacturers
through the country can only realize
this fact, the clip of 1894. will be
bought at fully 10 to 15 Pei cent. less
thtin in.893. • .
Most -of the .clip of 1893 is still in
the hands of dealers .and. unsold.
During the last twelve months large
quantities of wool and sheepshins, the
product of the Unitech States, have
found their way into 'Canada at prices
much lower than our domestic wools
and sheepskins could be sold for here.
,I would advise caution:in buying the
Canadian clip, as no money has been
made out of Canadian wool forr three
or four years past. •
-
The trend of the trade goes to'show
that the coning clip should be bought
with more care and at the following
prices :

Rev. Thos. Davidson left for

. going to the station to bid itim and
' his adieu. On Monday evening a
number of the Presbyterian congre-
gation waited on Mr. Davidson, at
"the residence . of Mr. AA. Gibson,
and presented hint with a purse con-
taining over $150.. Mr. Joseph
Cowan was the spokesman on the
occasion and in a few appropriate
words stated that Mr. Davidson's
numerous friends wished to sive him
some tangible expression of their good
will, and took this way of doing it.
They hoped that happiness and pros-
perity} would follow into and family
wherever their lot was cast. Mr.
Davidson replied in feeling terns,

up. ----11e. Howard Snell has returned

TEESWATER.
Early ori Thursday morning of last
week, the large saw mill of Mr. W,
R. Thompson, of this place, was de-
stroyed by fire, The fire brigade
was soon on the scene but the fire
was iii such an advanced stage that
there was no hope of saving the mill,
and their efforts were directed to sav-
ing the surrounding stock. Luckily
the rain was falling pretty heavily.
Had this not been the ease there is
every probability that the fire would
have swept everything down. to the.
main street. About $700 -worth of
broom handles and a quantity of
shingles were burned. Mr. Thomp-
son's loss is a very heavy one, espe-
cially as he• has a very large stook of
logs on hand. The mill was insured
for $1500. Mr. Thompson is busy
making preparations for rebuilding.

MORRIS.
In the Court of Appeal at Toronto
on Wednesday of last week, in re
Township of Morris and County of
Huron,, Mr. Garrow, Q. C., for the
corporation of the -County of Huron,
appealed from an order and decision
of Ferguson J., dismissing an appeal
by the appellants from an award
under the Municipal Act in favor of
the corporation of the Township of
Morris, whereby the appellants wore
ordered to. contribute towards the
erection and maintenance of bridges
in the township under -section 233 (A)
of the Consolidated Mulicipal Act,
1812; Since the inception of the
appeal the Legislature has repealed
the section in question, and left only
the question of costs to be disposed
of. Counsel for the appellants con-
tended that the award was bad, and
• that they were entitled. to the costs.

and Confucianists at the same time;
many of them are also Taoists. The
Mahomedans in China number about
30,000,000, and are found chiefly in the
northeast and southwest. There are
about 1,000.000 Roman Catholics, Protes-
