There is a most useful moral, we dank, taught to Canadians by the new loan so recently and successfully placed en the English money market. Seldom, el ever, has such a successful loan been effected as that accomplished last week by our able Finanee Minister, the Hon, G. Ew Foster, D. C. L. In the face of a world.wide commercial depression, in which the financial collapse of the 'United States more or less affected, trade and commerce in Canada, we learn by last week's cablegrams that instead of two million and a quarter pound stearling being asked for from money lenders in London, Eng. five times that amount was tendered for at varying rates, the highest offer yield- ing two per cent. more of interest than any preceding Canadian loan,—this, we say, was something phenomenal as a financial success. And wheu we re- member that some of the parties ten- dering were distinguished Canadians connected with our soundest banking fustitutions, men who were well versed M the financial standing of this coun- try, it speaks yolumes for the security offered for the loan and forlthe opinion held by British financiers regarding Canadian securities, Several leading London journals have expressed their satisfaction with the terms of the loan, and with the condition of a colony whith could place such a successful loan on the money markets of England. Now for the moral! Contrast the pres- ent state of things with wheat prevailed during the Mackenzie -Cartwright re- gime, when our national credit stood so low and the then Finance Minister was compelled to borrow money on faaadian credit at exorbitant rates. Compare the great reduction of duties made by the present administration, during last session of parliament and previously, on many articles of con- sumption which our people need but cannot raise—compare also the. long list of goods now admitted into this country free of duty, and the remission of duties as well ou tea, sugar, coffee, and other necessary imports, amount- ng to no less than three and a half million dollars annually—compare, we say, such a state of things with the gloomy outlook fifteen years agoi wheu taxes were heavy and national credit low and almost the only market outside of Canada was the neighboring States, where our farmers were met by a high retaliatory tariff;—and we ask any reasonable man, whether the mor- al taught our people by the recent Ca- nadian loan on the English market, is not such as to inspire confidence and !rope for the future? The Hon. Mr. Foster states that one half of this loan is to be applied to necessary public works; as owing to the large reduction made in the taxation of our people dur- ing the past four years necessitates the strictest economy. Whether, therefore, we consider the financial standing of Canada, its varied resourses, its pro- gressive developements, the march of eommerco between this country and Australia in the near future, or the prospective opening up of our mines and minerals of an unknow quantity, the moral lesson conveyed by one and all of these facts is:-' Let well enough alone, and meddle not with those who are given to change!" poongeomaransmammeosemeance Communication, To TIIE EDITOR or TIIE ADVOCATE. I see in the Goderich Star of last week what purports to be the law re- garding stray cattle also in the ADVO- CATE of two or three:weeks ago and in nearly all county and city papers the same articles regarding stray cattle, As the law given in said article, for the guidance of persons taking or har- 'borirrg stray cattle, is so different from ray idea of the statutes relating to stray cattle that I would deem it an act of justice to the public if some of the papers that have published such article would give their authority, year, chapter, section, etc. I contend that said article is entirely at fault that it is not in the consolidated statutes of 1887, nor any of the statutes sines. Now if I am wrong, for the public, I wish to be put right,. C. PRotr'rY, Wawanoste Geo.

He called to Mrs. Darwin, and there being a couple of tubs' of water handy; the blaze was soon extinguished, although a few minutes later it would have been a serious matter. Mrs. Darwin cannot account for the fire, unless it was caus- ed by a spark from the stove, which, however, was fully five feet away from the place where the fire broke out. British Grain Trade. London, Nov. 5—The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review of the British Grain Trade says: -There has been during the week an improved de- mand for English wheat at an average rise of 100. per quarter. The mean value of English wheats is now Bs 6d per quarter, against 4s 8d for Califor• nia and 4s 5(1 for American red winter Foreign wheats have advanced 6d. Corn, barley and oats firm, To -clay there was a good business. English wheats irregular and rather weak. The trade in foreign wheats was well main- tained. Corn advanced 6d. Oatsand grinding barleys, 3d. Flour was 3d per sack and linseed cake 2s 6d per ton highers Feeding Wheat to Hogs. The saving that can be effected by feeding wheat to hogs instead of sell ing it at present prices is even greater than has been supposed. A pork pack- er in the Western States has recently completed a careful test ou his own farm, On September 16ch he weighed 18 pigs and found that their weight was 1,925 pounds. On September 29th the same pigs weighed 2,650 lbs, hav- ing gained 525, and had received noth- ing for food except 1,650 pounds of crushed wheat. Taking the present market. for hogs at 5 cents, the value received for the wheat was $26.25, or a little over 95 cents per bushel. The wonder that the practice of feeding wheat to hogs instead of selling it, is rapidly increasing. In Kentucky quite as much is sold. In Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana, reports indicate that from 15 to 25 per cent. is. being fed, and the custom is spreading into the other States. Even musty and spoiled flour is now going to the hogs. Low grade flour is Low coming into demand to take the place of corn in feeding stock, and many mills are running' about one fifth of their pro duce into the feed pile. It will easily be seen that such outlets for wheat must sensibly diminish the surplus and that prices are more likely to ad- vance a few points than to fail still lower. BIRTK S.

Quite recently a eountry store stock was sold of by auction in lots to suit purchases. The sale, which had been well adver- tised by circulars distributed through- out the country, drew .a large crowd of sturdy farmers and their good wives; , the bidding was fast and spirited, and good prices realized for all useful and staple geode, Amongst the vast variety of article put up for sale were two lots of pack age dyes for household dyeing, The auctioneer announced that he would first dispose of the 'Diamond Dyes,” goods that every farmer and farmer's wife knew well and favorably. The women, being most interested in these goods, did the bidding, and in ten min- utes time, some sixgross of , the "Dia- mond Dyes" were sold to anxious buy- ors. - The other dyes were then brought forward, and introduced by someorien- tal name. Said the auctioneer:: "I give you the name of these dyes, but T know little about their manufacture or qualities; come, give me a bid, any price;" ;,,There was no response—not a bid to encourage the auci.oneer's heart. See- ing that time was being lost, and an• sinus to get rid of these dyes at any price, the auctioneer, in a joking way, said "You surely want your garden fences and barns painted; if these dyes are not good enough to color your dresses, shawls, jackett, coats, silks and ribbons, they will surely do for common wood sainting." The idea was a novel one—it was a ervelatioa-and seemed to meet with the favor a few, and for a small price, the entire stock of worthless dyes de- signated by a high sounding name, was sold to one farmer. who was heart- ily laughed at, There is a most important moral to be deduced from the results of the aue- tiou sale just referred to. The moral taught is, that poor and worthless dyes, wherever sold, are dear at any price—even when when used for com- mon fence painting. The "Diamond Dyes" are well known popular and always reliable; they sell everywhere and under all circumstan- ces, and give wonderful results in:re storing to beauty and usefulness old and faded articles of wearing apparel.
