Week's Commercial Summary, Toronto market is being glutted with fresh eggs, and wholesale prices are down to 15 to 1th , per dozen, The earnings of the Canadian Pacific Railway for the first wee; of March were $264.,000, a decrease of $44,000 as com- pared with the corresponding week of last year. The speculative grain markets are fair y active just now. There is a slight reaction in prices after the boom of about three cents in Chicago wheat on the small estimated stocks in farmer's hands. The United States Government report issued on Monday evening, shows a com- paratively small amount of wheat in far- mer's hands. The amount is placed at 7 5,010,000 bushels as compared with 114,- 000,000 a year ago and 135,000,000 two years ago. Corn is 497,654,000 as against 589,000,000 a year ago and 627,000,000 two years ago. Chicago markets for both these cereals are higher in conse- quence. The trade situation at Toronto is with- out decided change. The improvement is slight indeed, but merchants are still hopeful. The failures in bus'ness are numerous and somewhat discouraging. Losses on this account are large, and the quantities of bankrupt goods offering are a menace to merohants of small means and who buy chiefly on credit. An in- creased movement is expected in dry goods with the advent of spring weather. Both hardware and grocery houses report fair sales. Payments are only moderate. Dressed hogs and their product are rather firmer on limited offerings. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade in the United States is as follows : Substantially all indications, of the state of business are rather more favorable. Farm products are a little higher, rail- road earnings a shade better, clearing- house exchanges a small percentage larger in comparison with two years ago than in February, and most of the indus- tries show a somewhat better front, though the gain is not large. The money market continues undisturbed, the opera- tions of the syndicate still prevent ex- ports of gold, and withdrawals from the treasury have of late practically ceased There is not much enthusiasm about the situation, however, because the gain is slow, and business is yet a long way from what was once considered a prosperous condition. Further, the gain is in some eases due to obviously temporary causes, and to causes which do not make for pros- perity. The higher price of cotton, which has risen to 6.06 cents, results from the belief that the Average this year will be greatly reduced. V.'heat has risen 1ec. because the Government reported only 75,000,000 bushels in farmers' hands March 1st, though practically nobody in the trade think the estimate correct, and the accepted estimates are about 60,000; liu0 bushels higher. Western receipts have again risen above, and exports con- tinue below, last years. Sales of wool were 4,683,200 mounds, against 5,351,700 last y ear, and markets are quiet, without change, 'though it is easier to sell at quo- tations because prices have advanced abroad. Failures for the week have been 256. against 264 last year. Here and There.

EIGHTH LEGISLATURE. FIRST SESSION. G}OVERNADANT HOUSE. Mr. Haycock moved : "That in the opinion of this House the maintenance of Government House and the establishment connects d therewith at the expense of the province should, after the expiration of five years from the appointment or other earlier determina- tion of the term of office of his Honor, the present Lieutenant -Governor, be dis- continued." In introducing the motion he said he did so believing that they had in this country too expensive a system of gov- ernment machinery. He believed that the machinery by which they were gov- erned was too expensive, and that they had too much of it. He had in his desk a statement of the cost of Government House to the country since Confedera- tion, on which he could not at that moment lay his hand ; he thought, how- ever, that the amount was in the neigh- borhood of 5300,000 for the maintenance of Government House in Toronto. While we;have so much need of money for the benefit of the poor, the sick and the afflicted in all ways, and it does not be- come us to vote away the people's money for the maintenance of any such luxury as that we are now discussing. I do not see how we can do it and go back to our people honestly and say we have made the best use of the money they have en- trusted to us. Sir Oliver Mowat said the subject which the hon. gentleman had brought before the House was an important one, and no doubt had been very carefully considered. He would, 'however, like to see it contain in some authoritative way the facts bearing upon the matter, and for that reason he thought the motion in its present form should come up after the fats had been ascertained. It was real- ly quite possible and probable that some modification might be found practicable which would give the hon. member and those who agreed with his views all that they desired, and at the same time that the advantages which Government house afforded should be retained. Mr. Marter said it would be within the memory of the older members of the House that some seven years ago he in- troduced a resolution similar to that mov- ed by the member for Frontenae. At that time the vote in its favor was a small one. Last session, however, the vote in its favor had grown very considerably, and not only that, but members of both sides of the House expressed themselves in favor of the resolution. Mr. Hardy observed that the question should not be made a party one, It was properly outside the sphere of party poli- tics. The motion of the Attorney -Gen- eral was preliminary to a full and free investigation of the whole question. No man who voted for it voted either for the maintenance of Government House or its abolition. The committee would settle what the cost had been, and what it now was. The question was then put by Mr, Speaker, and a division was taken on the amendment of the hon. Attorney -General —44 ayes and 37 nays. COMMIT= ON SUPPLIES. After recess the House went into Com» mittee of Supply, with Mn Awrey in the chair, On. the item of $175,480 for miscellane- ous criminal and civil justice. Sir Oliver Mowat stated that the pro- vincial detectives had applied for an in- crease of salary, and they pointed out that in the neighboring Republic similar officials received a larger remuneration, The Government could not see their way clear to grant the desired increase, how- ever, but owing to the hazardous nature of the work in which they were engaged, it was decided to hear the cost of accident insurance policies for the detectives. A. sum of $105 was therefore placed in the estimates for this purpose.. The item passed. On the item of $7,000 for the Ontario School of Pedagogy, kir, Matheson stated that the view en. tertainod by a number of teachers was that the school was yielding an inade• quate return for the money spent upon it, Mr, Boss defended the usefulness of the school, and pointed to theattention given to similar institutions in the United States and Germany to illustrate the im- portance of the work carried on. Mr. Howland desired to know if those attending the school were given a practi- cal training in teaching, Mr, Ross admitted that in this respect the sohool was somewhatlacking, but the deficiency was made good as far as pos- sible by the students diving lessons to sections of their own classes, and 'other ways, The item ,passed. Thursday. The Housespent the afternoon in Com- mittee of Supply, making considerable progress in the estimates. No discussion of any importance took place. No even- ing session was held, owing to the fact that a dinner was being given by the Speaker. The hill introduced by Mr. Little pro- vides that the time for taking the assess- ment in townships shall be the same as in villages, towns and cities, namely, from July 1st to September 15th, assess- ment to be for the ensuing year. Mr. Haycoek's bill provides that when taxpayers 'pay 60 per cent, of the cost of a granolithie of other similar pavement they shall be ex- empted from only 60 per cent. of their pertion of the general rate of the munici- pality which is assessed fir sidewalks within the municipality. Mr. Richard - son's proposed amendments to the Muni- cipal Act are : That in the qualifications of candidates for members of councils the incumbrances upon the property under which qualificatin is claimed shall not be considered ; that township councils shall have the power to remune- rate their presiding reeves ; thatby a by-law the head of a municipality may be empowered to detain an indigent in a house of industry for a term not greater than a year; also to allow municipal treasurers to aet as collectors as well. In his Registry bill he proposes that regis- trars shall be required to send to the clerks of municipalities a yearly list of all transfers of land. The Public Accounts Committee met this morning, Mr. Davis in the chair. Some time was spent in looking over the various accounts that had been brought down, and then Mr. Noxon was sent for, in order that he might reply to some gen- eral questions relating to . the method employed in purchasing Central prison supplies. He was questioned briefly by Mr. Crawford and Mr. McPherson, chief- ly in connection with purchases of wool, and was instructed to bring in a state- ment of supplies which it was the custom of the Government to purchase by tender and those which were purchased by other means; also to suggest any other supplies which he might think could be obtained to better advantage by tender than by the present system. Dionday. The commission who will investigate the affairs of University College and ex- amine into complaints as to its manage- ment and concerning charges of in- efficiency against members of the staff has been decided on by the Government. Its members will be Hon. T. W. Taylor, Chief Justice of Manitoba (chairman) ; Mr. J. J. Kingsmill, of Toronto, formerly county. judge ; Judge Senkler, of St Catharines ; Mr. B. M. Britton, B.A., Q. C., of Kingston, and Prof. John Camp- bell, M.A., LL.D., of the Presbyterian College, Montreal Mr. Crawford asked whether -munici- palities in this province bad the power to regulate the hours for the sale of liquors therein, and, if not, what body had the power. Mr. Harcourt replied that according to a decision of Chief Justice Harrison the municipalities had not power to regulate the hours with regard to taverns, though they had with regard to the retail sale in shops. The license commissioners had the power with regard to both shops and taverns. Mr. Howland asked—Is it the intention of the Government to introduce an act during the present session amending the Registry Act by reuniting the Toronto registry office and abolishing the office of registrar of East Toronto ? Sir Oliver Mowat answered in the negative. Mr. Wood (Brant) moved the second reading of a bill, to amend the Municipal Act. The object of the bill, he said, was to enable incorporated villages, set apart from the municipality under section 17 of the act, to collect through the path - masters or road commissioners the statute labor as commuted by the municipality. Tuesday. Dr. Meacham moved an amendment to a motion to go into a Committee of Sup- ply to the effect that the appointment of certain provincial officials should be made by County Councils instead of by the Government. The amendment was rejected by a vote of 53 to 26, the Patron members siding with the Government. The report of the Fees Commission was laid before the House. The decisions ar- rived at by the commission are as fol- lows An endorsement of the present system of payment officials as to all ad- ministrative officers ; the payment of salaries to all judicial or quasi -officials, such as local masters, • county attorneys, and clerks of the peace ; the systematiz- ing of the expenses in connection with chines .which come under the system, with a view to uniformity; a decision against the eleetive system, such as is in force in the United States ; an endorse- ment of the principal of appointment by the Government; and the consolidation of certain offices outside of the County of York, under a graded scale, in establish- ing which the basis of population is sug- gested. The select committee appointed to look into the question of Government House maintenance met this morning, Sir Oliver Mowat in the chair. Sir Oliver Mowat made a suggestion to the committee based on the proposition which has been form- erly outlined by him, namely, that the present house be sold and a smaller es- tablishment formed. He calculated that the sale would realize about $800,000. Of this he proposedthat a sum of$100,000, or up to $150,000, should be invested in a new building, with smaller grounds; the balance of tiler money received Irom the. sale, which would amount to between $150,000 ani $200,000, he thought might be funded, the interest to be used in maintaining the establishment. It was decided that the Attorney -General should Corr spend with the Dominion Govern- ment with a view to finding out how they would regard such an arrangement, Wednesday. Sir Oliver M' wet , oved the second reading of a. bill respecting dower in mortgaged and other property. He ex- plained that oases had frequently occur- red where a wife executed a deed or a mortgage high contained the stipulation barrio,;, dower, whereas the object of her joining in the deed was for the purpose of herring dower. The bill made it clear that in such cases the wife's dower was barred. Another clause provided for the ease of there being a mortgage in which the wife had joined for the purpose of barring her dower. The property was afterwares sold by the mortgagee, and after the latter's interest and costs ha'l been paid a bale:,ce was left. Litigation had frequentlytaken place to determine whether the wife had the same interest in money as in land. The bill made a pro• vision for the aife baying this right. Th ' motion was agreed to. On the motion to go into Oommittee of Supply, Mr. Meacham moved in amendment : "In this opinion of this House the present mode of appointing registrars of deeds and other county officials is unsatisfactory, and should be changed ; and that the ap- pointment of all the said officials whose salary or rem, neration is provided in whole or mainly bee the localities for which they are appointed, should not be vested in the Executive of the province, but in the peopl of the locality through their municipalities." It might be asked why should this amendment be forced upon the House previous to the reception of the report of the commission, The Opposition, however, had taken a stand upon this qu, stion for years, and the re• port of the commission would not make any change in their views. 'l he Opposi- tion believed that the commission was appointed to help the Government to stave off coming to a conclusion before the elections, and also in the hope that the commission's report might exercise a stronger influence upon the people than the Government could wield. Sir Oliver Mowat said it was a curious fact that the hon. gentleman and those associated with him in politics found fault with the provincial system of mak- ing appointments, while they altogether ignored the system of filling correspond- ing Dominion offices. The explanation of this was they had no chanes of getting the control of provincial offices, whilst their friends did already exercise control in the Dominion. He submitted to the House if any change were required it should not be in the direction of appoint- ment by county councils, but by popular vote. The House should reject the amend- ment. Mr. McNichol' reminded the House of the declaration previously made thatthe Patrons did not intend to pursue any line that would make or unmake Gov- ments. Some of them a ho had experi- ence in the matter of appintment.s by county councils did not consider it the success that the Opposition members be- lieve 1 it to be. Mr. Biggar was opposed to the motion because it would disfranchise a large number of people in the city of Belleville who were not represented in the county councils. Mr. Haggerty said the county of North Hastings had passed a resolution iu favor of these officials being appointed by county councils. Mr. Marter said there must be some- thing in this matter, judging by the way in which it was brought up again and again. He believed that the county coun- cils were in a better position to make these appointments than the Government who made the appointment solely on the recommendation of the member or de- feated candidate in the county. The ap- pointments should be kept as far as pos- sible from the party arena. The people of the county could make better appoint- ments than the Government ; better work would be done, and better men appointed. If the councils appointed these menthe counties would also have the right to settle their r tale of payment, and by this means more efficient work would neces- sarily be secured. A division was then taken on Mr. Meaeham's amendment, resulting as fol- lows : Yeas, 23 ; nays, 56. The Liberal members voted solidly -against the amendment, as did also the Patrons. The two P.P.A. members voted, as usual, with the Opposition, The main motion was carried on the same division, and the House went into Committee of Supply and passed an item. Mr. Dryden explained the sums in the estimates for the Department of Agricul- ture, commencing with the increase in the allowance for lectures at Farmers' Institutes of $2,000, the cause of 'which he explained clearly, referring to the in- crease in the work done, and to the saving which would be effected by the wiping out of the Central Farmers' Institute. With regard to the increase of $1,000 in the vote for experimental fruitstations he said that it was proposed to increase the number of stations this year from five to about ten. Mr. Marter asked for an explanation of the amount of $2,000 for Creameries As- sociations, which he had been informed was practically thrown away, the men employed being also engaged in other business. Mr. Dryden replied that the hon. ger- tieman was misinformed. He did not think any association of the kind in the province had done more good than the Creameries. Association, though he thought the time would perhaps soon come when the association would be amalgams -ed with the other dairy as- sociations. The agricultural estimates, amounting to $183,486, were passed after a further short explanatory discussion. Mr. Whitney moved, ''That in the in- terests of the people of this province, and in order that the producers may secure the full benefit of the sums annually ex- pended to aid the dairy interests thereof, the butter trade deserves to be encour- aged." Sir Oliver Mowat stated there was no objection to the present resolution being adopted, and suggested that the hon. gen- tleman should proceed to move the second resolution which Stood on the order paper in his name. The suggestion was concurred in, and the resolution was adopted. She Got Elven. She often saw him on the car,.
