THE EXETER ADVOCATE. -see= sa THURSDAY. JUNE 14. ISpie Week's COMniereial Summary, The pork paelcie g business ill Ca•Vatil is teeeiVilleS increased attention, and its; importance may be gathered from the - fact that the total pa,ckitig for the past year aggregated 4'22,470 hog. A eery fair proportion of this is. for export. The aggregate liabilities of the siitty- seven. failures occurring in Canada in the two weeks ended May 10 are 001,918, of which, $128,727 is iu manuteaturing and $857,191 in tradiag., and 810,000 in other insolvent concerns. The liabilities of the nineteeu failure, in the week ending May 17 foot up to $187,451, $96,700 being in.manufacturing and 890,751 in trading eoncerns. The number cif failures in the Dentit- ions in. Province, tie compared with pre- vious weeke. is as follows : Ont. flue, .X.13. Man, 13.0.

From a lia- bility standpoint they are again com- paratively unimportant. • Cotton .seed oil is fast becoming an article of commercial importance. It is now proposed to ship it in bulk, petroleum fashion, on ocean steamships. A ve•asel has been recently lunched having stor- age capacity for 500,000 gallons of oil, as well as for 1,000 tons of general cargo. The ship, whiels is in the service of the American Cotten Seed Oil 01., is built entirely of steel, and nuteks the era of a new departure. The cattle exported from Montreal in the week ended May 80, as reported to The Mail, number 8,458, together with 4,759 sheep. The live stock Market in Montreal is reported. as a little more in- teresting, there being quite an. active de- mand for calves at from $2.50 to $10 each. Good. butchers' cattle sold at from 4c to 4.1e per pound, and even half -fatted beasts sold better than for some weeks past. The cause of the phenomenal depres- sion in prices, especially in wheat and other staples., is described by Mr. Henry Chaplin, President of the Board. of .Agri- culture in Lord Salisbury's ministry, as the demoralization of silver. Ina resent Speech he remarked: "If silver continues to fall, there is no reason why wheat should not cheapen indefinitely." He suggests as a remedy, "An international agreement to revert to the system which prevailed prior to 1878. The fall of wheat from 1878 to 1893 was 40 per cent. The )3ritieh commissioners studied. the pries, of wheat in America in 1879, and believed it could never be exported cheap- er than forty shillings per quarter. But superior Indian -wheat was sold last week in Hull for 19s. 3d. per quarter. Most farmers believe the fall in prices is due to foreign competition., and that the remedy is protection. But half the -countries of the. continent and the United States, while imposing the heaviest duties upon imported produce, complain of agri- miltural depression.. American farmers are becoming bankrupt even faster than the British farmers. Others contend that over -production is responsible for the fall in pricee, but statistics show that the production of wheat has decreased. although the prices have fallen. The real cause was the demoralization of sil- ver in 1878, and the se:beetle:tint diverg- ence of the relative valties of metals, whish enabled silver -using -countries like India to export -wheat at the present low price." The cheese exports still show a ma- teriai increaeo over those of lag year. The total shipments last week, as com- piled by Cunningham, Lemessurier & Co.. aggregate 42.238 boxes, as compared with 83,691 in the sante week in 1898. The total shipment to date this year foot up to 99.867 boxes, against 51,298 boxes in the same period of last year. The ()e- mend is scarcely as brisk as last -week, and. there is a slight decline in prices, *hit', vary at from 9c to 9,1c. Despatches from London and Liverpool refer to a steady tendency to depress values, and. suggest caution in buying at present prices. Therefore shippers' wants are at preeent comparatively light. Little or nothinghas: been done so far in shipping butter, and the state of the British markets would scarcely admit of the ex- portation of Canadian butter advantage- ously. , • • A vessel arrived., in • New York on the 4th inst. with 4,000 tons of Cardiff coal. The annualgeneral m.eeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Montreal was .held ix the banking reale of the in- stitution in that oily on the 4th inst.

This money the widow entrusted to the nephew to buy laud which the latter deeded to.hien- self. Ono of these farms was in Collings wood. township and to this place the trio moved but afterwards moved to another property in Thornbury. In that town the nephew mareied, and left the widow and. the (laughter Improvide1i for, and. at the mercy of the town of Thornbaey. At the• instance of the old lady's friends action was entered against the nephew. Chief Justice Armaux, before whom the case was argued, hasjust directed. judg- meet against defendant for $2,000 with interest from the time defendant left tile Collingbwood township property and also the costs of action. The Fraser River at Westminster is still rising,. At North Bend. the water is a foot above the mark in the great floods in 1892. The warm- weather continues', and there is still a large amount of snow in th.e mountains. The river may be expected to rise rauch higher. Steamers are all busily engaged in rescuing'settlers and cattle. An idea of the depth of ,the water may be gathered from the fact that a steamer drawing six feet passed over several island. in the center Of the ehannel of the river Wednesday night. The water reachedfourteen inches over the CanadianPacific tracks near Mission, and no trains were despatched. No rn.aii has been received for sight days.

A woman may know a man is lying when he tells her she is pretty, but she would not have him punished for the fault. Knowledge throttles faith. 1Vhen a man lo-ves money, a woman may expect very little of his love endless of his money. A man -who will not lie to a woman will not lie to anybody. No woman dislikes other woman until she falls in love with a man. Most rich people do not try to make themselves attractive, because they are led to believe that their money does that for them. Good people don't get half the sym- pathy bad. ones do. Dollars brighten as they take their flight. Woman's moral support is as valuable to a man as his material support is neces- sary to her. A man with one bad habit always has two—the habit itself and the habit of lying about it. AS CYCLISTS SEE IT. Rules Recommended by Them in Fur- therance of rubiic Comfort. 1.
