The Canadian Pacific Railway Comp-
any's stock was quoted at 90 cents the
other day which is the highest figure
Canadian Pacific has ever attained. Of
course the stock holders, some of whom
are predicting that it will retch the
even 100 within a twelve month, are
greatly rejoiced at their good fortune,
while it may be presumed that those
who neglected to buy when the quota-
tions were low, and those who have
parted with any stock they may have
had will regret their want of foresight
in the matter. Whether Premier
Abbott shares these regrets is best
known to himself , Certainly he made
no small sacrifice, considered frcm a
money standpoint, when he parted with
his interests in the Company in order to
assume the position as Premier, Ac-
cording to the testimony of a Montreal
stock broker, who claimed to know
whereof he spoke, Mr. Abbott is out of
pocket a round 5100.000 by selling out
when he did 'instead of holding on until
the present time. It is gratifying to
think that not withstanding the scandals
that are corning to light and the corrup-
tion that is being disclosed in some
Quarters thea there are to be found men,
who for the sake of their country are
ready to make saeritices such as this.

It is estimated that 500,000 bushels
of wheat will be shipped from Deloraine
Ilan., this fall. It is anticipated there
will be over 500,000 bushels of first-
class wheat exported from the Antler
district, including the territory up to
Moose Mountain. The yield has
been heavier than what was expected,
and the surplus for export should reach
20,000,000 bushels, probably more, if it
could be saved without the waste which
appears inevitable in Manitoba. Accept-
ing the largest estimates of production
both home and abroad, and even assum-
ing that the United. States and Canada
can export 225,000,000 bushels, the
American Agriculturist still finds a de-
ficit in the world's food supply of at
least 200,0000,000 -bushels of wheat and
rye, with the possibility of the shortage
being twice as great. Added to this is
the almost total failure of the potato
crop in Ireland, and serious curtailment
in the yield of potatoes on the contin-
ent.

The food outlook in Europe gets no
brighter as the season progresses. Ow-
ing to the heavy and continual rains in
England and Scotland, which have
greatly damaged the graindand interfer-
ed with the harvest operations, the
estimates of the amount required to
make up England's lack are continually
growing bigger. Writing of the "short-
age" the London correspondent of the
New York Times says : "Roughly
speaking, the importing nations of the
earth need 500,000,000 bushels of wheat
and the exporting nations have a surplus
of only 410,000,000 tomeetthis demand.
This is indeed a roseate statement of the
case, because t is based on last year's
consumption, This year both rye and
potatoes are grave failures, which throw
a big added burden on the world's
supply of wheat. To say nothing of
Russia, there will bean additional wheat
consumption in Germany of some 2;000;-
000 bushels from the mere fact of shift-
ing army rations from brown to white
bread." To those possessed of the
ability and disposition to get off their
own centre and view things from the
other fellow's standpoint this is not par-
ticularly gratifying news, for it means
privation and want and suffering which
no one desires either for himself or for
those he lives. And get it is not unlike
ly that many of those who live on this
side of the seas, and whom providence
has blessed with an abundant harvest
will see in Europe's condition something
to rejoice over. While it means pover-
ty and privation yonder, itmeans plenty
and prosperity here. So little have
many yet learned of the true spirit of
brotherliness.
The opening of the Sarnia tunnel
marks a great achivement for the Grand
Trunk railway, being a standing mon-
ument to its enterprise and confidence
in its powers. The work is ono of the
greatest on the continent, and is an
evidence to the engineering skill of the
highest order. It over two miles
long, there being more than a half a
mile of it under the St. Clair river,, and
it required nearly three years to put i•1
the iron cylinders, of which it is . com-
posed, and complete it as it is. The
ceremonies were marked by festivities
on both sides of the river, and' well
may the railway be proud of the
great work which it has done. It has
shown that what was looked upon as a
stupendous task has been sucbesefully
accomplished with little trouble, but at
a great expense, and it points the way
t3 other works ofa similar character to
facilitate communication betweenthe
two countries. Now GI Trunk
trains can run straight through to Chi-
cago without ferriage or transhipment
of passengers, a distinct gain in tran-
sportation which will not only expedite
travel, but greatly benefit through trade.

Redistribution of Seats;
Before Parliamznt prorogues the redis-
tribution of seats, following the census
returns, will take place. Owing to; the
increased population of the cities and the
decrease in rural districts, a sweeping
change will have to be 'made. Instead of
three representatives as at present,Toronto
will be entitled to eight, and Montreal to
nine, instead of three. Huron will likely
be reduced to two, which may increase the
boundaries of South Perth and one of Mid-
dlesex's. The representation of the Terri-
tories will be increased by two,' Manitoba
by eight: and British Columbia by eight.

An exchange says that Dr. W. J. Tripp

Up to last fall it was a pure black, but
after moulting it became perfectly white
and remained so until recently, when it
lost its white plumage and became again
as black as a crow. We think there must
be some mistake in the breed of the chick-
en mentioned above, as all Andalnsians
are blue, or what is more generally known
as dun color. The chick is evidently either
a white or blank Leghorn or possibly a
Minorca.
