THE EXETER ADVOCATE THURSDAY, DEC, 27,:894, Weak ColnunleroIaI Setia betas. The President of the United States has issued au order placing the entire in- ternal revenue service under the provis- iotas of the civil service law. The earnings of the Grand Trunk rail- way for the w ek ending D eember 8 were $319,655, as compared with $844,- 8$5 the ecrresponding week last, year, an increase cf $7,270, There were forty failures in the Do minion last week, the same as the pre• vious, and also the corresponding week of a year ago, Ontario again heads tilt list with twenty-five—an increase of two, none of whom were of any importauve, only one had existing up to $5,000 Que- bec had twelve, a decrease of three—of this numter one was rated over $5,000, Nova Scotia had one, New Brunswick one, Manitoba four. None reported from British Columbia and Prince Edward Island. General trade in Toronto has been dull the past week. The mild. and unseason- able weather has militated against the movement in merchandise, and the next six weeks are not likely to see any im- 1 ro Cement in wholesale departments. Maty of the merchants are now engaged in stock taking. The season's trade has not been prolific iu large profits, although many houses express themselves as satis- fied with results. Leather dealers haw not succeeded i u putting up prices in ac- cordance with their wishes. There is apparently too much competition between dealers, many of whom are onlytoo anxi- ous to reduce stocks. At current prices of hides, however, it is elifacult to see where the profits are in leather. The cheap money offering on choice collate rel accounts for the strength of securities dealt in on the stock exchange. There is said to be a good deal of British money offering on choice properties, and the out- look is favorable for a continuance of the low rates. Although small it is pleasant to rep.:rt the increase in earnings of the two railway systems of the Dominion for the first week of December. This in- crease in traffic is a favorable feature, as indicating some improvement indomestic business. While the earnings of the Ca- nadian Pacific increased $2.000, those or the Grand Trunk are augmented by $7,000 for the first seven days of the cur- rent month In the United States the earnings of the larger railway system stillcontinue to report heavy decreases. The financial and business crisis in New Foundland came unexpectedly, althougb tho • e in a position to know lead been ex- pecting trouble in the . Commercial Bank for some time past. The bank's resonr• ees were freely used by its directors, who were all engaged in heavy business and sperulative transactions. The enormous depreciation in values of property and general merchandise, and theoarrying of too much sail, with comparatively small specie reserves, are the reasons for its collapse. While Canadian banks ar prone to sound the praises of their sys- tem and escape from ditaster, it would be well for those that carry comparative ly small immediately available reserves to take the lesson to themselves and for- tify their specie reserves. At this season of the year the trade of Canada with that of New Foundland is comparatively small, and the climax in that colony has not disturbed business circles here to anyex- tent. Oar chief exports to that country are flour and provisions, but of late the flour trade has been monopolized by Western States millers. IfERE AND THERE..

The usual result of a rapid and well- established rise of the markett is that those whoh.tve xxo faith in its perxnan- eney rush to realize and a weakness sets in, then a falli,ug off, and sometimes. as s, direct result of this lack of faith a mar- ket will go Tight back to the place from whenoe it crane, The wheat movement in the Northwest eontiuues to be quite brisk, but is not nearly so great in vol- ame as at our last writing, and is made op largely of shipments from local eleva' tors, white the farnxere have not bean so free in offering their produce, There is, however, sones talk of the mills ehich Have been ruining at their utmost cepa. city, reducing their output on account of the oxeessively high :freight rates, Mani - to No, 1 hard is in good demand at the top of the market, and a large q iantity has already gone for export by way of Buffalo as the rate of transportation by the American route is cheaper than our own. The quantity which has gone by this r•aute so far ie estimated at no less than 5.000,009 bushels. It is said on good authority that as much, as 011 2 cents bas been bid in Winnipeg for hard wheat afloat at Fort William for export Febru- ary delivery. The English markets have sho :vu a weakening tendency all week ander pressure, no doubt of the largely increased offerings of wheat on passage, The English markets have been sage ging all week, but at the close the feel- ing was decidedly stronger. The closing quotations on the Liverpool market in currency was as follows: Local markets dad not seem to feel the drop to any seri- ous extent, and the demand was very strong for reel and white wheat at 60 to 62 cents straight, Barley has been fairly active during the week, but the deliveries have not been as heavy as might have been ex- pected, but this factor is all in fever of the farmer. The local authorities quote it dull here with less demand an.l the prices at 40 to 45 cents, according to quality. Deliveries of oats outside have been pretty heavy, and the tendency of the market is certainly not upwards, but there has not yet appeared any symstoms of a break. The quotations outside are frons 27 cents for mixed and 28 cents for whits. Cornhas not yet begun to move to any great' extent, but the week's market re- ports are very encouraging. Peas have been quite f rm on the Eng- lish and continental markets this week, and at the close the Liverpeol quotations are a half -penny better than the close a week ago. The very lest butter is in very good demand at from 28 to 25 cents for cream- ery rolls, and at from 19 to 22 for cream - tubs. Crean ery rolls were worth from 16 to 211, cents on the New York market on Saturday last. The poorer grades were not in good c'emand, and some of them would not bring more than 10 to 11 cents. Good demand and better prices for strictly fresh eggs for breakfast use. Others are in fair demand andat un- changed pix es. Potatoes are still in pretty good de- mand, and there is not any apparent falling off in the supply. Pork is if anything weaker than at our last, with few offerings and very little business tieing done. The feeling both on the New York and Chicago markets was weak and the quotations for lard were materially lower. Prices have ranged from $5 to $5.20. Live stock in Chicago was lower, and the supply is far in excels of the imme- diate requirements. Montreal was dull and there were no shipping stook for sale. The butchers took the best at 8*• cents, and some stock sold as low as 2I The home market cannot be said to be any better, as there is any amount offering at almost what it will bring and there is practically no competition, KAN ITOBA PRODUCTS. The Wheat Shipments for the Season of 1S94—W13y Northwest Grain Goes by Way of Buffalo. Shipments of wheat from Manitoba this year were larger than ever before in its history. As nearly as can be figured the exports of wheat via Port Arthur and Fort William were 8,400,000 bushels; of wheat ground into flour, 2,500,000 ; of wheat via Duluth, 1,000,000, equal to a total of 12,000,000 bushels of the crop ex- ported during the season of its growth. Could the Hudson Bay Railway, if built, do this? It is a significant fact that about 90 per cent, of the crop found its way to market via United States routes, the bulk of it being transhipped at Buffalo. Some vesselmen claim this would not be so if the St. Lawrence combine. were "busted." It levies an arbitrary rate of 21-2 cents per bushel, no matter how hard times are or how lake freights may happen to be. There were cases this year where the St, Lawrence charges for 200 miles of transportation, from Kings- ton to Montreal, were equal to the lake from Duluth or Port Arthur to Kingston, 1,000 miles. That is no doubt a strong reason why Canada is unable to get her carrying trade, and the cry goes forth about the decadence of Canada's lake ma- rine. Fifteen hundred cars of stock have passed Port Arthur since January 1st, and 1,375 of these were cattle worth $750,- 000, besides the freight, nearly $200,000 more. The other 125 cars were horses, pigs and sheep. There never was, and never will be, a universal panacea in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is heir—the very na- ture of many curatives being such that were the germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient—what would relieve one ill, in turn would aggravate the other. We have, however, in Quinine Wine, when attainable in a sound unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grievous ills. By its gradual and jndscious use, the frailest systems are led into con- valescence and strength, by the influence which Quinine exerts on Nature's own restoratives', It relieves the drooping spirits of those with whom a chronic state ef morbid despondency and lack of interest in life is a disease, and, by trap- cleansing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor to the action of the blood, which, being stimulated, courses throughout the veins, strengthening the healthy animal func- tions of the system, thereby making activity a nocess: y result, strengthen- ing the frame, and giving life to the di- goetihe organs, which naturally demand increased substance—reaulta improved appetite. • Northrop & Lyman, of To- ronto have oivc n to the public their superior Quinine Wine at the usual rate, and, gaged by the opinteirs of scientists, thiaa wine approaches nearest perfection of any in the market. All druggists sell it.

Sarnia barber was summoned last week for working Saturday after mid- night. He contended that the Almighty fixed the time and no local authority had any say in the matter, In support of hie plea he cited the case of the London hotel men, who run their bars by solar time, as the court held' they had a right to d+'a. The magistrate was not prepared for this and reserved decision, The Horrors of alNoise. To primitive mon noise meant danger. Therefore when tho savage heard a noise, whether it was the loud roar of the tem- pest, the sweep.of the avalanche, or the soft approach of the foe at night he put himself on guard. Noise awakened all his energies ; 1t had a quality of terror in it, and it still bias this quality—for me. In the Chinese army the troops used to shout at the top of their lungs when they attacked, in crder to terrify their enemies ; and when both sides yelled together the effect of the din has been described by Europeans as appalling. It is true that civilized man is no longer so acutely af- fected by noise ; but it still acts as an ir- ritant, and the time will come when its deleterious effect will be recognized. Even in children—and children are supposed to enjoy noise of the most maddening kinds —I can see the growing appreciation of silence. .A. few months ago, when we escaped for a while from the din of the town to the quiet hamlet where I yearly recruit my noise -shattered nerves, my lit- tle ittle girl of seven said on our first evening in the country, "Isn't it nice to listen to the silence ?" The advance of the savage towards civilization is marked by the abatement of noise.. The more savage the tribe the more noise it requires. One of the great clock manufacturers of this country is said to make a certain cheap cluck with a particularly loud and ag- gressive bgressive tick, for export to the South Sea Islands ; the natives will have no other kind—the louder the tick the better the clock. We are beyond that --some of us —but we do sanction' an amount of noise that Paris or London would sternly sup- press. From time to time there is a pro- test. I reverence Webster for his rebuke to a gabbling barber who asked him how he would like to be shaved : "In silence,". said the great man. But as a nation we tolerate anamount of senseless, aggravat- ing din that we should have outgrown a century ago. Our idea of a popular re- joicing and celebration is still the Chin- ese one—lots of noise. Our Dominion Day is made hideous by Chinese fire- crackers and other exploding devices. Sensitive and sensible people shudder, and as becomes the most long suffering nation on earth, we allow it to go on year after • year, those who can getting away from civilization, so Balled, on that glorious day. Again, our fashion of ushering in the new year is to ring all hells of the town for half an hour, let all the; steam whistles screech till steam runs low in the boilers, and fire oft: any guns or pistols that may be handy. Its all Nonsense For people to say there is no cure for con- sumption.. Sufferers from that dread dis- ease and kindred ailments are being saved every day by Miller's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. Do not die without giving it a fair trial. If it will cure others it will cure you. The secret of its success lies in the fact that it creates new blood in the system, thus enabling sufferers from lung troubles to overcome the de• structive forces at work to waste the tissues of the body. Miller's Emulsion is the great nerve strengthener and blood maker, and cures coughs, colds, bronchia is, scrofula and all lung affections. In big bottles, 50e, and $1, at all drug stores. She Had Brains. There is a certain young widow in New York who, within a few short years, has made a fortune at that usually the most unsuccessful of all occupations, the keep- ing of boarders.
