This questiou is not easy to answer and I ean only express an opinion based ou the opinions of many of the most expert bond men in Canada. But while their opinions are well worth having they are unfortunately hampered by not being gifted with prophetic powers and their knowledge of the future is only that based neon probabilities. What they think is this: The market has now reached a Point where debentures are returning as high a rate of income as they have within the past fifteen years or more. Oeneral conditions are encellent, and prices aro unquestionably attractive. Therefore, although London may not again corae in- to the market for some time to come the absorbtive power of Canada and the States will prove sufficient to keep the market from going any lower. This. e,oupied with the tact that municipalities will considerably moderate their 'financi- al reQuirements for the next few months will probably keep prices at about the present level.

THANKSGIVING, 0ClIt'OBER 98 Some of the labor leaders are coming to realize that the question of wages, while of vital Importance, is but one of many things ,which are of the utmost lineal:tame to the working classes' ma- terial condition. The question of land values in its relation to •rout is one of these. So is the emestion okpublio owner- ship of natural monopolies. So is the question of taxation, -including that most powerful and all embracing migine of taxation, the tariff. These things affect the earning power of tine workers just as much as the rate of wages he receives. But the strike is Useless as a weep to grapple with them. „..4,nd so far the labor -unions of Canada, knowing only the strike as a weapon, have done practically no- thing toward grappling wItn these prob- lems. The labor man needs a netv wea- pen. lie scarcely knows yet what it is. Be realtzes clearly only that there is need of eomething, that conditions are rapidly stratifying into a form 'which does not bode beat for tbeI ally, Some day he will so that what he needs is political organization.

OUR LADY OF TUE SNOWS. Hier Ifardie, the powerful but somewhat intemperate Scotch -Socialist labor leader, a former collier, but the match in mental equipment for political leaders anywhere, has 'been telling his Canadian brothers some plain facts along these lines. He declared that in some respects privilege has already become entrenched in Can- ada in a way that it will take genera- tione to rectify, if it can ever be recta fied. No daub one reason organized labor has been slow to agitate in political ques- tions is that well organized labor has been so successful in keeping its wages up to a good standard, that it has thought the other matters were of trivial import. ance. Besides, on sante of the most im- portant issues labor men are by nomean united '10 tier opinion. .1 gfi::iald example is the tari question. t e moment some of the most forceful men in the un- ions in Toronto are free traders, or, at least, low tariff men. lint while the union men of the city would follow these leaders over a precipice if a: strike were involved it is doubtful if more than a small frac- tion would follow them in a free trade campaign. judging by concrete resulte the labor men of Toronto are strongly protectionist. One result of the Canadian labor men's large attention to the question of wages has been to arouse against him some re- sentment on the part Of the, great army of other workers an il salaried people gen. erally who are .disposed to accept the statement' that' much of the high cost of living must be charged to the 'unions with their unending demands for higher wages. As a matter of fact, the nterests of the unions man, tlie farmer, the store. keeper, the clerk are largely in common. The problem is` to find a basis for united action. CRITICS,OF MB BIG 5110W.
