The bank statement of March, just
issued, presents several very encourag-
ing features. The deposits are steadily
on the increase, and there are evidences
of a healthy condition of trade. Taking
the deposits, it is found that they are
larger than ever before in the history of
the Dominion. A comparison with other
years gives the following result :
1878 $ 71,900,195
1882 113,820,495
1887 114,483,190
1892 154,17 6,957
It is surely unreasonable to argue that
the people are growing poorer, when,
within the period of fourteen years
there has been an increase in the money
of the people on deposit in the chartered
banks of more than $82,000,000.
A. paid item is going the rounds of the
press puffing a Dakota company which
has '•fine farms frrr sale which they ob-
tained under forcleaura, ahcl which they
are-ctl'c;ring at frc.:; $t to 37 per acre."
Most of tbe farms, we are told, also have
haus= and barns already built. How
does this speak, we ask, for Dakota and
this g r:at sixty million market ? What
has become of the original owners of
these fine farms? Aretheythe ones who,
failing to make it go, have crossed the
lines into Manitoba, abandoning the fine
farms to the mortgage sharks ? Strange,
is it not, that the company must adver-
tise in Ontario in order to dispose of
fine Dakota farms, mostly with buildings
at $4 to $7 per acro ? Does it not look
as though these farms are not wanted
by people who know them best and who
already live in the country. The Ont.
farmer can form his own opinion of a
country where farms with improvements
and buildings can be got for from $4 to
$7 per acre . and can draw his own con-
clusions as to what became of the unfor-
tunate settler who pub up the buildings
and made the improvements:

Another instance of the MowatGovern-
ment's desire to raise the wind by any
means, and another illustration of the
sincerity of their profession of being
"Friends of Temperance," w as their pro-
posal made in the Legislature to grant
licenses for the sale of liquor in railway
trains. Whatever may be thought by
anyone as to the liquor traffic, there is
no doubtthab of all places a railway train
is one of the last where the sale of liquor
should bepermitted, on account t?f the
danger it would cause, and for men who
profess to be friends of temperance the
proposal was, a surprising one and show-
ed the hollowness of their. profession.
There was to be a charge of $300 for 'a
license and the Government that tells the
people every year that it has a large sur-
plus was so anxious for the increased
revenues that thee fees would give it,
that Mr. Mowat and his colleagues tried
to force the measure through the Rouse.
The Provincial Treasurer introduced the
measure and Mr. Mowat supported it,
but the opposition was so strong that the
proposal had to bo withdrawn, and the
Government backed down with as much
grace as it could and withdrewixit, Mr.
Mowat will now cast about for some
other scheme to raise a few dollars.
Farmers' Prospects.
Toronto, Ont.,April 26. The Ontario
Bureau ot Industries has published a
Bulletin as to the crops and live stock
of the Province.
As to the fall wheat, it says : The
past winter has proved a very favorable
one for fall wheat, and the crop, par-
ticularly the early sown, presented an
exceptionally promising appearance when
spring opened. Practically the only
unfavorable reports as to the condition
of the crop come from the county of
Essex, where on account of local drouth,
the crop did not stand the winter in
very satisfactory shape. Excepting in
this locality, the present indications are
that very little winter wheat will be
plowed up, and provided the critical
time between now and the middle of
May is successfully passed,the prospects
for a good crop are promising.
Of live stock, the I3ulletinsays : Stock
of all kinds have come through the
winter fair flesh condition ---a little
thinner than usual, owing to a limited
supply of fodder, especially hay. Sheep
have suffered considerable during lamb -
lug season, owing to the unfavorable
cold, damp weather, and many lambs
have been lost. The littera of pigs, are
not. according to many reports, quite so
large and promising as desired- The
health of stock during the winter was
exceptionally good,
Winter rye is said to have suffered
little from the winter; tilling regulation
is reported somewhat backward, owing
t,t unfavorable weather m the middle of
the month. Cloverwheat wintered well.
The most favorable reports come from
the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay
counties, particularly from Simcoe,Grey
and Bruce, where the indications for a
yield are satisfactory, In nearly all
other parts of the Province the drouth
:t last fist summer did much harm to old
t..11s, where the catch of seed in the
fall was for the most part uneven.
Under the beading of the general re-
marks it says; Our correspondents are
unanimous in reporting the past winter
to be exceedingly favorable for the
farmer. In most places there was a fair
amount of snots, which covered the
ground uniformly, and which remained
until spring. As regards improvements
in agriculture, most reports refer to the
introduction of improved tools and ma-
chinery atail isavttntxge of better ata;:::
and better systems of feeding are repeat-
edly referred to, and an increased in-
terest is being manitested in •regard to
the soil.
Although a few state that the supply
of farm help will meet the demand, the
great majority state there is, and will
probably be, a scarcity. One corres•
pondent states that in his township
alone 100 additional farm hands are
needed. The cause universally given is
the removal of the young men to Mani-
toba, 'the Northwest and the States.
Their places are supplied principally by
young men front towns and immigrants
equally inexperienced. The use of ma-
chinery decreases the demand for help,
but in the case of careless farmers the
increased experience is said to be very
great. There is:constant complaint as
to the low prices of farmers' produce,
and a tendency toward dairying and
stock feeding in place of growing grain
for market. In the old barley districts
farmers appear to be indoubt as to what
line of agriculture they should pursue.
Under "Farming supplies" the Bullet-
in says : There is • barely sufficient in
farmers' hands to meet local demands.
and only in rare instances is there any
for sale. In some districts not more
than one -twentieth of the wheat of last
season remains unsold. In other dis-
tricts at least one-third has been held
for a higher price. Taking the Provinc i
as a whole,at least one-fifth of last year's
wheat is in farmers'hands. Oats every-
where are reported plentiful. A large
portion of the extraordinary crop of
1891 still remains unmarketed,especially
in the eastern counties.
It may be worth while calling atten-
tion to the contrast between above report
and that of 1891. One year ago hay
was abundant and cheap, coats very.
scarce and dear, and many farmers were
buying their .our. This spring hay is
scarce, wheat plentiful and oats abun-
dant.

Mr, D. D. Wilson, the well-known egg
dealer and exporter of Seaforth, has leaned
a riroular to itis customers, from which we
take the following extract: " You are all
aware thnetheMcKinley tariff, to a large ex-
tent, excludes Canadian eggs from the
American market. We are, therefore, com-
pelled to find an outlet for them in Great
Britain, In that market large eg18 com-
mand a good price, white small eggs sell at
a very low price, often aelliug for five Ceuta
less than the large, and unless they can be
bought at their value, or by their weight, it
will not pay to ship the small eggs to that
market, ihoreforeiit will be in tltelinterosts
of the farmers, as well as the dealers, to buy
by weigbt, and se encourage the production
of large sized eggs, and It is fair and just to
do so, while the present system of baying is
simply paying a premium for the production
of small eggs. Farther, it ia,of the greatest
importance that ail handling eggs should
use the utmost despatch in forwarding them
to the swimmer. The farmers or producers
should collect the eggs every day, should
never keep them over a week before taking
them to the market Mislaid touch thein
with damp or moist bode, should never
wash them, however dirty, and 'amnia keep
them in a cool, dry place( The hens' nests
should be in a dry, pool place, and the hen-
nery and yard should bo kept scrupulously
clean and dry, so as to prevent the hens
from soiling the eggs with their feet. By
strict attention to the foregoing directions,
the chippers may be able to forward epgsjto
even the distant market of Groat Britain in
a fairly marketable condition, and so lie -
quire a good reputation for Canadian eggs,
similar to that now enjoyed Lby the Cana -
