The sittings of the Interprovincial Conference ut Ottawa in October last wero attended by the Primo \linLsler and Iwo of his colleagues.

A report of the proceedings of the conference will be laid before you. On the Invitation of the Government of Canada, certain of my Ministers at- tended at Ottawa with reference to the proposal extension of the boundaries . f Manitoba. Tho claims of the Province of Ontario to its hinterland were pressed upon t' e Dominion Government, my Ministers urging that the boundaries r f Manitoba be extended northward to Hudson tiny by producing the the east- ern boundary of that province north- ward until it strikes the Churchill River. and then by following the middle of the channel of the said river until the letter debouches into Iludson Ray, and that for geographical and other reasons the remainder of the Territory of Kee- , watin lying east of the suggested cast- ' ern boundary of Manitoba contiguous to Ontario and hounded on the north and eat by Iludson Bay and James Bay be allotted to the Province of On- taato. A d:cision is expected shortly. THE WORLD'S MARKETS REPORTS FROM MB LEADING TilAl C CENI'ItES. Prices et Cattle, Grain. Cheese sad 011ier Dalry Produce et Reese and Abroad.
