The most 4ang ine do not at present,
under existing eireanistaneeS, look for
any great ao ivity, but on the other haled
no penis., or goieral paralysis; is feared
-with our great reeuperative resources in
the heads of our conservative merehants
and bankers. as well as our frugal farm-
ers and general citizens. The number of
failures ceartinues, largoas com.pared with
recent yeav, but fortunately the average
of liabilitieeis reduced, ami. there has
be.rn recently no ithangs of consequence
in, the prices of products. The country
seems to have adjusted itself to the pres-
ent situation, and is producing no more
than sufficient to supply current needs,
which are greatly reduced in volume, nor
are importers ordering as freely as form-
erly, which certaialy will render the pro-
cess of liquidation more comfortable for
them, and eventually more satisfactory
to all concerned. There is now a ten-
dency on all hands to do bnsiness with
smaller stock, and sorting orders are re-
ceiving relatively more attention. The
low level of prices that prevails renders
Canada a favorite market, and conse-
quently uur exports eantia.me large. The
strength shown here, however, is not a
matter of special qualificatima as we are
selling in many cases at less than cost.
All these indictations point clearly te, one
conclusion., and that is that business in-
terests have been in a state of suspense
because of a well settled feeling of un-
certainty, which in some respects ought
to be eliminated in the near future. As
soon as the uncertainty has been remov-
ed there can hardly fail to be a revival i.n
manufacturing, etc.., for the simple rea-
son that tne present stagnation is too
pronouncel for the causes underlying it
in Canada to last long. There is nothing
radically wrong with the country, and as
soon as our beet customers and patrons
improve their own even more depressing
financial and industrial condition there
is nothing to hinder a return to our usual
prosperity. Consumption cannot COD;
thrue ou the reduced. scale of the present
time. and distribntors' stocks are so de-
pleted that they will have tube replenish-
ed. 'With the weather continuing =-
favorable, which, in addition to the con-
dition of the markets, interferes with
farmers' deliveries itt country towns,
there is but little le pe of immediate im-
provement in collections. The money
market is unchanged., n ith. a slight ten-
dency to drop to 4 and. 41; per cent. in
larger centres. The annual reports of
our banks fortunately give but a slight
indication of having been effeeted by the
depression.

This will result in a double taxation, and,
as pointed out, will tend to discourage
colonial investments. A reeiprocal elites
nation. of such fax has been suggested,
and
is worthy of consideration, that is if
not found to be unconstitutional. Mean-
while the colonial agents in London de-
clare that the proposals are a funda-
mental departure from the principals of
colonial constitutions.
The field of long-distance electric rail-
roading shows itself very attractive to in-
• vention. and capital. To show what is
being done, at this moment only a few
links are wanting in it complete network
between New York and Philadelphia, a
distance of nearly100milee. These links
are actually being constructed, and when
they are finished both passengers and,
freight can be carried between the two
centers by electricity, over roads which
represent a vastly less investment than
steam roads, and whose cars cam run in. -
dependently every minute of the day, un-
hampered:by schedules. It is needless to
say that, while such it net -work is useless
for purposes of swift travel, it must very
soon absorb a very large amount of minor
and what may be called reticular traffic.
A. vital point is the great quickness in
travel in the electricity system. The
trolley ears will piek up a man at any
point, drop him at his exaet place, and
charge him only ten. or fifteencents,
where the steam road has been collecting
forty or fifty cents. Furthermore, in the
matter of speed, the electric cars can give
a good accounting, as they are equal in
most eases to a speed of twenty-five or
thirty miles an hour outside of the city
limits, a rate which the ordinary steam
road rarely equal and seldom surpass.
It is probably not widely known, says
The Electric Review, that only seven out
of the seventeen trans-Atlantic cables are
in use, ten having given out from various
causes. Estimating the cost of each
cable at $8,000,000, here is an irreclaim-
able investment of $30,000,000 safely
buried beneath the ocean to a depth
ranging from a few fathoms. to over five
miles.
Live Cattle Trade at an End..
The latest reports from London makes
it absolutely certain that live cattle from
Canada will not be admitted to inland
Britieh towns this year. It is almost
settled, indeed, that the privilege so long
enjoyed will never be restored.
Why, then, is the establishment of a
dead meat industry, as a substitute for
the trade no longer possible, nut taken
up in earnest? This is a most important
matter. It is of greater interest than the
issues involved in the campaign over
which. the Province is so much excited at
the present time. The Board of Trade
bhould take the iaitiative in giving the
proposed scheme a start.

Five -Veers and Six 'months in New York
State Prison—New Trial Asked For.
Erastus Wiman appeared before Justice
Ingram in the criminal court, New York,
Wednesday morning, to receive his sen-
tence for forgery. He looked rather wan,
and he was so poorly dressed as to excite
comment. He was accompanied by his
two I aithful sons, who sought to comfort
him by cheeriug worde, but it was patent
no every one 'that Wiman dreaded the
issue. Gea. Tracey said his client had
done everything be could. to repair the
wrong he had erought, awl he pleadect
elequently for merey for the financier.
The justice said he must impose a sen -

dering one Caleb Hartley in the Township
of Burford. To the awful indictment
each replied, "Not guilty." Ling's re-
sponse could be heard, but that of Mrs.
Hartley was almost inaudible. The only
important new evidence was that of F.
Hartley, who swore that about two years
ago Mrs. Hartley askecl him to purchase
some "rough on rats" for her to kill
gets which she said were in the stere.
She asked him when he returned to give
the package to n.o one except herself. He
got the poison, and Mrs. Hartley said:
The reason I didn't avant yen to give
the roughson, rats' to anyone except me
is because the girl is foolish enough to
open the package and feste the contents
and she might poison herself." At the
close Mrs. Hartley's lawyer offered bail
up to th.e amount of $20,000, but it was
refused and, the case adjourned.

A Sun spepial from Boston says "C.:ien.
Martin's appointment of the Board of
Police Oommission.ers has made a sensa-
tion in this city. Henceforth gambling
houses and. houses of ill -repute, and itt
fact almost everything except murder,
have beett allowed to go on with impu-
nity. Hints of police officials receiving
rich harve:ts have been. made for three or
our years, but a change will come after
Friday of this week. Upon that day, so
say the commissioners, disorderly houses
mast Close and allied irregularities must
cease. Captains of police stations have
been so instructed in limn language, and
Gen. Martin, the chairman of the Police
Commission, has said all disorderly houses
must go.' If, after a reasonable time,
these places are not closed, the captain in
whose district they are found will be held
personally responsible."

One morning when Benjamin Franklin
was busy in the pressroom on his news-
paper, it lounger stepped into the book-
store and spent an hour or more looking
over the books. Finally he seemed to
settle upon one, and asked the clerk the
price.
"One dollar," the clerk replied.
"Olio dollav," echoed the lounger.
"Can' t you take less than. that?"
"One dollar is She price," the clerk
ants wered..

the books awhile and. inquired:
"Is Mx. Franklin in?"

eentleman was in the store waiting to see
him, Franklin soon appeared, and the
Ammeter said
"What is the lowest, Mr. Franklin,
that you eilat take for that book?"
''One dollar and a q tarter," W0,3 the
prompt and dectisive answer.
"One dollar and. it qaarter 1 Why, your
clerk only asked me a dollar just now."
"True," replied Mr. Franklin, "and
eould have better afforded to take it
dollar for the book than to leave my
Work,"
The man seemed serpriseci, awl, wish-
ing to end it parley of his own seeking,
said:
" Well, come now) 511 yoter loweet
price for this book,"
"One dollar enti a balf."
"One dollar and it half I Why, you
offered it yourself for it dollag and a
quarter,"
"Yes," eadd Mr. Franklin, coolly, "and
I had better have taken that price then,
thap to take even a dollar and a half
now,
This was a way of trade whieh took
this man gaits) by surprise. Without an-

• "Do you mean to insinuate," she asked.
in tones suggestive of a coming fray,
