TRE EXETER ADVOCATE. THURSDAY, NOV. 29, 1894. Week's. Commercial Summa Y• The amount of wheat at Russian ports on November 1 was 1,780,000 bushels, as against 2,015,000 bushels at the coerce spending date of last year, The Bessemer ore production of the Lake ia"uperior district will be the largest ever achieved, and the total production of ore for the season will by the close of navigation reach 7,250,000 gross tons. A. New Orleans estimate of the cotton crop pieces it at 8,85J,000 bales, From the sante source it is said that the Egyp- tian and Indian crops will equal last sea- sou's, while the Asiatic crop promises to be disappointing. Tho wheat market has shown more life this eeeek. Ontario wheat is up 6e, and Manitoba 4c. The advance is attributed to higher prices in Europe and the Unit- ed States, Both Liverpool and Chicago quotations are now the highest for three inenths, and holders are greatly enoour- aged in consequence. The failures in the Dominion last week show a further decrease he number when only 33 were recorded, as compared with 42 for the previous week, and 41 the cor- responding week a year ago. Ontario had 20, of whom 13 had our lowest credit or bank rating. Quebec had only 7, a decrease of 5, of this number 6 were rated blank, New Brunswick had. 1, Manitoba 3 and British Columbia 2. No failures to report from Nova Scotia or Prince Ed- weed Islaud, The discovery of the artinle known as tale near Webbwood. on the C.P.R., Dis- trict of Algoma, will, no doubt, be a great factor in drawing the attention of capitalists to the district, The indica- tions are unlimited and a source of weath to the owners who have formed a company with $95,000 capital to work the mines. The company holds 50,000 shares, and put 45,000 on the market, and as soon as it is sold they intend put - tiny iu machinery and other plant suffi- cient to work the mine to the fullest extent, The quality of the talc already taken out proves it to be epual to any in the world. The half -yearly statement of the Bank of Montreal, which was aszued on Wed- nesday evening, is not a very favorable document. The earnings are less than for corresponding periods of former years, which were riot altogether unexpected. The low rates of interest and the plethora of idle money are reasons for the poor showing. Net profits of the bank for six months ended October 31 were $604,802 as against 3685,010 the corresponding period of last year. This leaves a bal• ance of on y $4,862 after paying 5 per cent. to shareholders. There is a large increase in deposits, those bearing inter- est amounting to 323.938,571 as against $21,266,440 a year ago, while non-inter- est bearing deposits have risen to 37,631,- 440 from $6,$49,900. The notes under discount in this bank have been curtailed about $280,000 within the year, the ag- gregate now being $30,052,172. A feat- ure of the Bank of Montreal is that its cash reserves are comparatively greater than any other Canadian bank. It holds in coin and Dominion notes $5,578,500, while its balances held in the United States and always available aggregate $11,755,000. According to a writer in the Engineer- ing Magazine the Canadian nickel mines could, single-handed, easily supply the world's present nickel requirements were they called upon to do so. There is a large and steady increase in the produc- tion and use of nickel, mainly due to the introduction of the metal into material designs for war purposes. There is diver- sity of opinion about the quantities pro- duced in recent years, but what is con- sidered a good authority places the year- Iyproduetion of the world for the years 1890, 1891 and 1892 at 2,650, 5,164 and 6,077 metric tons respectively. The two most important deposits of nickel ore at present known are found in the Province of Ontario and the island of New Cale- donia. Deposits of less importance are to be found in the provinces of Quebec, British Columbia and New Brunswick. The mines of New Calednnia supply near- ly all the nickel used in eemmeree at the present time, though a trifle is .3eing mined in different parts of northern Eu- rope, and ore bodies more or less extens- ive are Down to exist in. several states of the American Union, but not mined or developed now. While the value of nickel, especially when combined with steel liable to be subjected to sudden and excessive strains, is demonstrated beyond question the demand is still very limited, and barely sufficient to absorb the pres- ent production. It is said that the Can- adian ore is accompanied by a large per- centage of copper, a useful metal itself, but the metallurgical separation of the metals has always been attended with considerable difficulty, and so much ex- pense that its present cost bars it from the free use to which its unique utility and material value entitles it. In pro- cess of time it is reasonable to expect that improved methods of raining and reduetion will so reduce the cost of pro- duction as to admit of its general use in a measure compatible with its intrinsic worth. Then, but not till then, may we reasonably look forward to a realization of the natural wealth we have in this embryonic industry alone. HERE AND THERE.

The mayor settled the ease by giving her a good square meal, andisince then near- ly every person in town is getting hurt. x x x Seven years ago we exported 829 horses to Great Britain. This year we have have sent over ten times that number to the same market. And there will be a still greater increase in this trade during the next seven years if farmers in Can- ada will but produce the kind of animals the English market demands. There never was, and never will he, a universal panacea, in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is heir -the very na- ture of many curatives being such as were the germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the pa- tient -what would relieve one ill, in turn would aggravate the other. We have, however, in Quinine Wine, when obtain- able in a sound, unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grievous ills. By the gradual and judicious use, the frailest systems are led into convalescence and strength by the influence which Quinine exerts on Nature's own restoratives. It relieves the drooping spirits ofthose;with whom a chronic state of morbid despond envy and lack of interest in life is a dis- ease, and, by tranquilizing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreshing sleep - imparts vigor to the action of the blood, which, being stimulated, courses through- out the veins, strengthening the healthy animal functions of the system, thereby making activity a necessary result, strengthening the frame, and giving life to the digestive organs, which naturally demand increased substance -result, im- provbd appetite. Northrop & Lyman, of Toronto, have given to the public their superior Quinine Wine at the usual rate, and, gaged by the opinions of scientists, this wine approaches nearest perfection of any in the market. All druggists sell it. The Best. The best husband is the one who re- alizes that his wife is an individual. The best wife is she who has spirit and common sonse as well as affection. The best father is the one that makes chinas of his children. The best child feels for his parents neither time nor awe, and is able to re- peat them without trying to do so. The best mother-in-law is the other fel- low's. At least the jokers say so, but it isn't true. The best home is that one where love is not crowded out either by poverty, riches er selfishness. The best religion is that of a good man no matter by what name you call it. If you are despondent, low spirited, ir- ritable, and peevish, and unpleasant sen- sations are felt invariably after eating, then get a bottle of Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Discovery and it will give you relief.
