"The finaaeial papers," he deoiares, "have been, at great painsin eialeavering to explain the eapses of the recent fluctuations iu chipping shares, but they have struck wide of the mark." After referring to Premier Borden's visit, eays "It in not necessary for all the chief members of the Cabinet to spend their holidays together without some real reason. We may rely upon this, that the shipping problem between the Mother Coun- try and the various colonies has been thoroughly thrashed out. We are on the eve of a statement from some authoritative pereon who will Propound a new theory ee3 regards the relations between tide country and the dependencies. It forme a art of the naval scheme, and has for its ultimate, objeot the Bilking up of the colonies with the heaet, of the Empire. "The British Government must control, or nominally control, all elaipping whose chief ports are ia this country. It is a gigantic scheme, but when the various aanalaaanations which have taken plate and those which are pro- pouuded are fully gone into it will be seen that the shipping of this Kingdom forms an unbroken and unbreakable Bee rotted the world, guarded by the greatest navy ever know a in history." 1AKING SAFE INVESTMENTS ECULATION aarenns GAMBLING.

But if he were to go along a etreet and see a car load of lumber and buy it leithout first examining it to see if It were sound and not all mils; evithout first teguring on whether he wasn't paying more than the lumber was worth, and without enquiring whether there was any demand for lumber, The would be gamb. ling.

A despatch from Toronto says: Succession duties received by the Ontario Government for August this year -totalled $49,340.26, which is $5,299.20 in excess of receipts for August, 1911.

During the first ten months last year $891,294.37 was received, gleans from the Onancial pages of the showing a decrease in the present daily press that enables one to speculate intelligently. That' amounts to little year so far of $220,747.96. • F CHEESE Producers Complain that No Allowance is 'lade for Overweight. A despatch from Kingston says: The members of the Royal Commis- sion appointed to enquire into the complaints received by the Depart- ment of Agriculture, relative to the alleged unfairness in the methods followed in weighing butter and cheese, opened their session in the City Council Chambers on Thurs- day afternoon. Those who appear- ed before the commission strongly advocated the appointment of an official Government referee to act at Montreal in cases where disputes arose ever saert weight. The pre- sent system, they claimed, was un- fair to the producer, who was ;charged for cheese that was under weight and was allowed nothing for cheese that Was over weight. They invited an inspec'tion of their scales, which the commission said would be made. Some of those who 'gave evidence could assign no reae son for shortage in weight, hut others said that the shipping of cheese that was too young might be the cause. Dr. Edwards, who was instrumental in having the Govern- ment appoint tile commission, was in attendance, and explained that he did not charge dishonesty in the weighing at Montreal, but thought that rules were very unfair. The eommission will meet in Cornwall on the 1.3th of September and then acliourn for several weeks. 55 PROVISION$. Bacort-Tong clear. 14 14 to 141'4e per Ib., iu ease lets.

The streets, bereft ot their flags and bunting, and their immente throngs of people seem by comp eriroi dull and deserted. And there is a notice- able reaction in meet eines of trede, teeth retail and vrholeettle. The tWO woeke of Exhibition are probably as active in the retail distriet as any in the whole sear.

A despatch from Los Angeles, Cal., says Fully one thousand persons are hunting homes as. the result of the fire which destroyed 150 buildings in Ocean Park on Tuesday night, causing a loss esti-, mated at $2,500,000, with insurance of only ten per cent. So far as known, only one man lost his life. The burned area extends from Ray- mond Avenue, on the north, to Ozone Avenue, on the south, a dis- tance of seven blocks, and from the ocean, west to midway betweee the speedway and trolley -way, on the east, everything was wiped out. But on the whole the attendance was re- markable. ,Itipiter Pluyiva did his worat and failed, The Labor Day Attendance, brealting all reeerds en a dm' which did not bath a glint of eutialthee, toed with the raiz eometimee coming: down In tOr. rents, Was partieularly estouuding.

A despatch from London says As an outcome of the Titanic in- quiry the, Board of Trade ,has is- sued revised rules for increasing the safety of lives at sea. The rules beeeme effective on Jan. 1, 1913. They provide that foreign -going passenger steamships and emigrant ships and foreign -going sailing ships carrying passengers shall be required to furnish ).ifcboa,t, accom- modation for all on. board. The' lifeboat equipinent, which has been increased, must be in the boats as soon as the .ship leaves the harbor and there remain throughoet the voyage. The number of p,ersons to be ca,rriecl in each boat must be marked on it. STRONG ON IMPERTALISIL The distinctive note was PrObahlY the tinge of Imperieliera that was ineeotha. Tbere were eadete from all parts of tbe Empire, Newfoundland, New Zealand. Au - Mosinee, England and Ireland giving dally exhibitions and nigntly forming into a living flag. There was the Kings uncle. There Were the bar1de from the mother land. And the siege of Delhe from India as a nightly spectacle. All thie was deliberately planned, for I11060 in oharge of the Exhibition's for. tunes are ardent Imperialists. It cost $40,500 to bring the cadets. The band Cost 512,000 more. And it was probably not by accident that many of the speeches at the directors' lunclieons echoed the alarms of war. Those who are not in active sympathy witle the propaganda were inclined to ask what was the conneetlou betweert them sentiments and a purely industrial and agricultural exhibition, which might be supposed to glorify. if anything would, the blessings of peace. A. 515,000 JOB A -BEGGING. Tbe resumption of aotivity in munici- pal polities after the summer holidays found the most pressing iseue to be the question of the city eouusel appointment. The refusal of Mr. T. G. Meredith to ac- cept the position hastily offered him left just a little shamefacedness. re hoye 515,000 Toronto job turned down cold was just a trifle humiliating. But no doubt the receiving of the offer did not hurt Mr. Meredith. He bas a oonafortable home in London, and at sixty a man does not lightly sever the connections of a lifetime. With the ground cleared for a local man, the question on everyone's lips was, "Will Mayor Geary get it?" He himself said no word, but, of course, at the ital. ary, or even half the salary. it is a posi- tion that would attract any young law. Yer. The criticism of Mayor Geary's chances arose partly from the fact that he has not devoted much time to law. Politics has been his forte. On the other hand he had th recommend him an ex- ceptional knowledge of current municipal problems. An arrangement by which Mayor Geary would succeed Mr. Drayton as City Coun- sel, Controller Churoh as member of the Hydro Electric Commiasion, leaving the field comparatively ckar for Controller Hocken as the next Mayor, was spoken of as the "deal" tbate was under way. And people are not generally enthusiastic about "deals." TO HEAD OFF orvio ABBATOIR. The proposal of the city th spend a third of N million dollars on a civic ale batoir and cattle market extension drew a skilful open letter from the Harris Ale- batoir Company, which offers the city a free site and a seat on the Board of Directors if it would abandon its old base of operations and move out to the Union Stock Yards at West Toronto.

With the Torouto baseball team holding on to the leederehip in the Intonational League by it$ eyebrows the Toronto fan -the real dyed-in-theovool kind -was in a querulous mood. Convinced that the 1912 aggregation was the linest baseball team that over appeared in this league, be tbotight that their place was far out in front of the race, So, wbenever the team lost a game, and perticularly on the clay it lost tote elide ot a double 'header to Rochester. he wan oat particularly pleated if told that the team that played tbe best ball won. The great rally of tbe team In the latter hail of the season in which tbey came from sixth place to the top was a flelen- did piece of work, and raised a lead from the fano' heart, became he had Ain about given up love. It is said, thee previous to the rally the owners and luanagement talked th the players In pretty plain terms. Tells talk, assistea by the acquisi- tion of two or three big league piteners. Kent, Druoke and Maxwell, eeerned to nave a marvellous effect, and tbe totem inamediately started on ite \sinning streak. But there is not, much left of the lath- ing staff that began the season, and In this respect the early critioisnie were all justified, Nor Is the play in the field al- ways of the gilt-edged variety. Nor is the team exceptionally speedy on the bases. The one department it has Alone in has boon batting. Nearly every ninn has developed into an old-fashioned slug- ger, and most of their victories have been won, not by keeping the other fel- lows score down, but by running up a ecoro on their own account. Probably the player who has acquired the most popularity during the season is Benny Moyer. For several seavonti be has been used as a spare man by various team, and come to Toronto in that ca. pacity. But he has hit like a fiend, run wild on the bases and developed fairly well in the field, so that he has made a place for himself among the regular REWARD FOR JACK BENNETT.
