The monthly statement of chartered bank's doing business in the Dominion for the month of. August has been is, sued as a supplement to the Canada Gazette and boars date 21st;ult, The ,general showing confirms the impress don that business is quiet. WO can judge by the columns that during the month of .Agrist verry little of the -agricultural products of this year's •growth has found its way to the mar- kat, In fact t e are in a position to know not only are farmers in this lo caliry holdup; back the present year's crop for higher prices but have in add itiou large quantities of last year's grain still in their granaries. The fact is that with all the cemplaints of hard times and bad crops for seyeral years previous to, -1691, our farmers ,generally are fairly independent; though we question the profit of hold lug grata for higher prices, when it is considered the losses and lc,ala„es, it is subjected to.. We find taking bank notes as a barometer, that during the -month business has held its own with .a slight increase; deposits show a large inereare; notes and checks between banks show an increase, as do also foreign balances, The banks seem still to hate ou hand more money than its required at present for trading pur- p large as lar •e amounts are being in- vested in permanent stocks. Loans on .call on stocks and bonds denote life in that branch of trade; but current loans show a large reduction; overdue .debts though showing a slight in- crease during the month show a re - .duction compared with a year ago ;Should prices in farm produce advance -as present indications seem to warrant the next monthly statement will: make a different showing. .ARCTIC EXPLORATION. The one valuable result of Lieuten- :ant-Peary's recent expedition is that he has.absolutely determined the north ern limit of Greenland. He passed the -most northerly point of that great is .land and turned southward on the -eastern side. He did not originate the ....•,$. iiod-af.'•travelling on the hardened snow of the inland "ice cap." Green land had already been crossed from the -Atlantic to Baffin's bay by Dr. Nansen. e did nut reach a point so near the Tole as several others have reached. His discovery is that Greenland does snot extend so far toward the pole as it was supposed to extend, and that any :attempts to attain to higher latitudes lthy oyerlend expeditions must not t be -pursued in that quarter. It is true that there are islands north of Green- aand.. Some of them may be large is- lands; and he should be very unwise who would assert that one of them does not extend to the pole. The expeti- ericer of Nansen some years ago and of .Peary now proves that sledge journeys ever the frozen snow or ice cap oftheso northern lands is coirparatiyely easy. But there is no reasonable assurance that any continuous land is to be found:, an the meantime''Dr. Nansen propos- •es another expedition by water, in a boat which will "jab into the drifting ice," and will to strme extent be at the anercy of the current. Nansen is better :fittet than perhaps any other living .man.. --for Arctic exploration. He possetses an iron frame, undaunted courage and indomitable resolution. .His- drift in the ice down the east coast elf •Cecland nreves th at even a small boat can live in such circuinstances; and with a stout vessel expressly - coin :strueted. for such service, thole is rests. ,,enable hope that the lila doctor may reareh,a higher latitudethan any of his predecessors. Still, it rnust not bo for - .:gotten that since the time of Parley (1827) the adyance toward the pole is ineasitred only by miles, not by degrees sit mast be remembered, too, that Par- ry's femons attempt was somewhat „similar to that now contemplated by Nanbli, and that the currents which he hoped would carry him northward drove him. southward instead, so that o1flcfrivacbing the latitude of 82.45, he. :vas compelled to abalidon the attempt -gild return to England,' Much how, • :over, may ho'accomplished by waiting ;for a favorable season, and then start, aug.early, freta some northern point, •• ,say. Spitzbergen, THE—NE W SENA TORS. The appointment to the Senate;_ of Dr. Ferglison, of 'Welland, and Mr. Alphonso Desjardins, of lilotreel, will Gleet with general approval, Both are I. hen, of ability and both have done wood service in the House of Commons Dr.Petgtison was first elected in1882, and was re- elected 1111887; but suffer ed defeat at the last" general election. He is a roan of strong individuality, and his appointment is the more hon orable both to him and the goveen- tient because he has iu some matters taken au independent position, while ',FIs fidelity to Conservative principles has never been questic'neci. Mr. Des jardines has represented Hochelaga in in the Commons siuee 1,874, Be has been twice elected by acclamation. He is a knight of the order of Pius IX, and one of the authors of the "pro gramme Cathelique." He.is a lawyer, but first attracted attention by engag- ing in journalism, He was one of the editors of L'Ordre in 1866, and chief editor of Le Nouveau Monde for a nu- mber of years. He is an able man,and yery popular in Montreal and the sur- rounding. country. The Senate will be a distinct gainer by the appoint meat of these two gentlemen. BLAIs:'L"S .PU7'URE, The Hon. Wilfred Laurier is report- ed to have unfolded his views ' with reference to the future of the Hon. Edward Blake to an official holding high office irl the municipal goyern- ment:of Montreal, The honourable gentlemen is credited with saying that in three years time Mr. Blake will re- turn to Canada to take an active part in Dominion politics. His trip to I:e- land, he continued, is only a means to an end, He with the rest of us, thin k that the next four years will see ser- ious changes in the development of Canada. It may be annexation ar in- dependence, but there is no doubt with the eclat he brings with him from old country polotics he will become a much more important factor than he was before. Mr. Blake saw a bold stroke was necessary to place him be- fore the world and the people of Can ada, and that course he pursued.'' At the Toronto demonstration Mr. Blake said:—"My own country was and is good enough for me, and 'I clung to her service while I could. Circum- stances which it is needless to detail, divorced me from that service, and after full consideration I had come to the conclusion that time must either settle or elminate the difference of opinion which existed between me and those with whom I acted." What the difference of opinion here alluded to was may be discovered by reference to Mr. Blake's Durham manifesto. He parted from his colleagues because un able to approye of unrestricted recipro city which would lead to ,annexation., According to the language of Mr. Laurier above given the disagreement is to: be overcome by his former leader espousingthe cause of annexation or independence, , These:causes, though in name different, are in reality the same. Independence is at prasent im- possible;alit: if we ars to venture upon experiments we might as well take the direct road to annexation as a roundabout one, But we venture to beleive that neither. M. Blake nor Mr. Laurier will see the day when that change will command a following. PUBLIC NIGHT SCHOOLS. We obserya with satisfaction that the Toronto Public School Board have made arrangements for opening Free night schools, for persons of both sexes over 14 years of age, in fifteen of the public schools of the city. The bran- ches to be ,.taught in these evening schools are the usual. English branches' including grammar, book keeping,and composition. Nothing could be more praiseworthy or desirable, especially yto a large city such as Toronto, where litany youngpe)ple are unable from various circumstances, to attend school during the day. Among the many benevolent and charitable in= sti.tutions.for which Toronto- is noted, there is perhaps none moie needful than the opening and, management of free night schools—where young men and young women may avail them- selves of the opportunity of receiving instruction in the useful branches of a good practical education, to fit them fer filling responsible and honorable positions in life, and where they will :pond the Hours of the evening profit. ably which might otherwise be' spent in folly or in crime.` We notice that one feature of the night schools 18 the offer of premitn9 for good conduct, punctuality end proficiency. Such a movement, must surely be, productive of results' -aitcl it would be 11 goodwe if in many of our towns and villages similar plans were adopted, by our schoolboards, whereby .malty a youth would be Bayed from frequenting haunts of vice and led. intd paths Of virtue and uprightness, ¥oGillivray Gennep, -- Connell met pursuant to adjourn. .lent in the town hall, McGillivray, ort 5th September, 1892, All present, Min utes of previous meeting read, approv- ed of and signed, J D 1)ritminond—T Prest—that G T Johnson is hereby in- structed toattend the next meeting of the West Wflliains council to effect a Settlement of she townlut3 concrete ac- count.—Carried.
