800 bushels a year ago. Reports from

for wheat and prices in speculative mar-
kets are higher.
The visible supply of wheat in the
united States and Canada is 81,862,000
bushels, a decrease of 2,550,000 bushels
for the week. A year ago the visible sup-

No special activity bas yet been devel-
oped in the general trade movement at
kIontreal, and as a whole the distribution
of merchandise cannot be characterized
as more than a moderate one. Money
does not come in freely, but in several
quarters some little improvement in re-
mittances is reported, and failures of
late have been remarkably few, only two

'Ing Wednesday last. in the Montreal dis-
e rict, covering the Province of Quebeo
from Three Rivers west.
The new British torpedo boat, Tur-
bine, has just made the record speed of
nearly 33 miles an hour. The h n
ew boat
effects a complete revolution in marine
engine building. But while this extraor-
dinary
reult has been obiaird at the
first trial, the inventor—tar. Parsons—
elaims that it is nothing to what the
. How engine is capable of duing ow far the
steam turbine can be applied to ocean
going steamships has yet to be proved,
but the inventor claims that it will be
possible to make the trans-atlantio trip
in about three days with it Judging
from the present trial this does not seem
to be altogether an impossibility.
There is no particular change in the
business situation at Toronto. The usual
sorting -up trade has been done, while in
dry goods some improvement is noted.
There is some disappointment however
among small manufacturers, whose busi-
ness is not up to expectations. The out-
look is generally considered as hopeful,
and increased activity is looked for.
Spring seeding is well advanced, and the
winter wheat is said to be looking well.
Prices of the leading staples of merchan-
dise are unchanged as a rule, and pay-
ments are not as good as they should be,
although in some instances they are re-
ported as satisfactory. The demand for
-wbeat bas improved, and prices are
higher than a week ago.
TOPICS OF TIIE WEEK
An interesting experiment has been
made at a paper and wood pulp manu-
factory at Elsenthal in order to see what
was the shortest time in which a stand-
ing tree could be converted into a printed
paper. In a forest near the establishment
three trees were felled in the presence of
the owners of the manufactory at 7.35
in the morning. The trees were carried
to the manufactory. .At 9.84 in the morn-
ing the first sheet of paper was finished;
1 hour and 59 minutes was the time con-
sumed in its manufacture. The owners
of the factory, accompanied by the notary
public, who watched the entire work,
then took some of the paper to a print-
ing establishment two miles away from
the manufactory, and at ten o'clock a
printed copy of the journal was in the
hands of the party. So it took just two
hours and 25 minutes to convert the
wood of a standing tree into a newspaper
ready for delivery.

Three Months Without Sleep—Wasted in
Flesh and Given Up to Die, but the Great
booth American NHrvine Soothes to Rest
With One Dose and Effects is Rapid and
Permanent Cure.
Mrs. White,. of Mono Township, .Beav-
erton P. O., was dangerously i11 from
nervous trouble. She was so nervous that
she had not slept a night for three
mouths. She was so low that her friends
despaired of her recovery, in fact, had
given her up to die. She was persuaded
to try South American Nervine. Her re-
lief was so instantaneous that after tak-
ing one dose she slept soundly all night.
She persisted in the use of this great
cure and gained in health rapidly, so
that now there is not a sign of the nerv-
ousness, and she feels she is entirely
cured. If you doubt it, write and ask her.

EXCAVATIONS IN ENGLAND.
Human Remains Dug Out of the Gravel
Near Horneastle.
An interesting discovery has been
made near Horncastle, England, says a
correspepdent. In the outskirts of the
town Dir. G. W. Smith, leadsmen and
greengrocer, was employing a laborer to
dig gravel on his premises. About two
feet below the surface the man's "pick"
otuok against something hard, which,
on investigation, proved to be a leaden
coffin. It was embedded in the gravel
and in a fairly good state of preserva-
tion. The sides and ends, however, had
lost cohesion between themselves and
with the lid, the latter being also broken
in the process of uncovering it. Owing to
this want of cohesion the upper soil had
fallen in and filled the interior. This
was carefully removed, when there was I
disclosed to' view a perfect skeleton, sinoe
pronounced - by medical experts to be
that of a ,female. The coffin was 5 feet 2
inches in length, the body, of course,
being rather shorter. Last weeek, as the
gravel digging was continued, a second
leaden covin was exhumed about a yard
to the north of the former. This was in
very much the same condition, the lid
only being rather more broken in extri-
cating it, This coffin was 5 feet 7 inches
in length. The bones were larger, and
are pronounced to be those of a man.
Some twenty-four years ago three leaden
coffins were found within 100 yards of
the same site while workmen were dig-
ging with a view to laying the founda-
tions of a Nonoonformist chapel. No care
was taken of these, and they were dis-
posed of as old lead. Several Roman
cinerary urns have been dug up at differ-
ent times near the same locality, as well
as many Roman coins and other antiqui-
ties. The main question is, Were these
lead coffins Roman or Christian? On the
same side of the town there is a public
recreation ground called the "Wong," an
old Saxon word for "field." Were they
Saxon? From their lying east and west
the correspondent is inclined to consider
them Ohristian. Their somewhat rude
construction, as well as the absence of
any kind of inscription, also incline him
to suppose that they were originally
inner "shells" inclosed in a wooden ex-
terior, but no trace of decayed wood was
perceptible,
