NOTES AND COMMENTS.
That hard times have a deterrent ef-
fect on those inclined towards matri-
mony is indicated by the fact that the
number of marriages was less by seven
throughout the whole of Ontanoin 1893
than in 1892, and that in the twelve
eines of the Province -where the pinch
of depression was fe t most -there was
a decrease of 387 in the number of
matings as compared with tho year
previous.

Japan has, it appears, in deference
to Russia's protests, abandoned her
claim to the permanent posse3sion of
Port Arthur, but it is intimated that
she may hold on to the famous fortress
for some years. Great Britain declaeed
aftenTenenlieleir, in response to repre-
, nentatinna-Tnetle by France, that. her
possession of Egypt was not intended
to be permanent. But British troops
are still in the land of the Pharoahs,
and ne man now living expects to see
them withdrawn. It may be that the
Japanese have copied from the .British
in this matter and that, while disclaim-
ing any intention of permanently re-
taining Port Arthur, will always be
able to find some sufficient excuse for
failure to comply with an order for
immediate evacuation, just as Britein
has always found some reason for de-
clining to accept hints to get out of
Egypt:

Oustoms receipts during the naonth
of April show a considerable increase,
the figures being $2,896,500, against
$2,422,588 in April last year. The
expenditure on account of consolidated
fund during the month was $2,375,801.
During April, 1894. the expenditure
was $2,183,624. The surplus of ex-
penditure over ordinary expenditure
in April was $520,699 ; in April, 1894,
the apparent surplus was $259,915.
For ten months, however, the apparent
surplus was but $1,227,806 as assrainat
$4,873,003 at the corresponding date
last year. The retrenchment ac-
complished during the month of April
is practically illuatratedin the compar-
ative statement of capital expenditure.
This during April, 1894, amounted to
$208,27§, as compared with but $56,798
last month. If, too, the revenues
have shrunk during the year the
expenditure on capital account has also
been kept down. To the 30th April,
1894, the expenditure under this month
was $4,000,618 ; at the close of the ten
months of the current fiscal year it had
reached but $3,830.994.

The turn of the tide in Great Britain
has come wibh a rush. A London cable
says "the return of continental prosper-
ity es apparent everywhere. There is in
the British Provinces an increase in the
booking of orders, and an upward move-
ment in prices." In confirmation of
this, the latest fivancial circular, issuen
by Henry Clews, banker, of New York,
says :.-"The late change in the tone
of business bas not been confined to the
United Staten but has been shared by
all the commercial netions, There
would appear, indeed, to be stronger
reason for a recovery in Europe than in
this country, 'inasmuch as there the
depression has existed ever since the
Barbags failure, whilst in this country
it set in only two years ago. The
European liquidation hes been protract-

a A conferenee of gentlemen eonnected
with the live stock trade Was held M the
'a rooms of Mr. Crawford, M. P. P., at
O the Western cattle yards, Toronto, on
g Friday, to consider the question of
"dipping" sheep. A. long discussion
ensued ; and the general opinion was
e that to "dip" sheep ab Montreal would
✓ baa serious interference with the trade,
and all present expressed themselves as
dpposed to in Dr. McEaohran of
Montreal, ably and concisely voiced the
views of the assembly in the following
epitome. While opposed to the suggest-
ion to dip sheep just before shipment
as involving an unnecessary waste of
valuable time, it was strongly advised
that farmers, where scab disease was at
ell supposed to exist, should immediate-
ly after dippingsubject all sheep and
1 lambs to this cleaning process. While
f it was not admitted that the necessity
I existed to any extent worth speaking of
it was urged on fanners not only as a
• matter of precaution, but of peouniary
advantage to themselves, as it was stated
sheep so treated would fetch $1 per
head more in these yards. Emphasis
was laid upon the fact that this trouble
aroee solely from the presence in the
yeards and on board steamers of sheep
from the United States; now ib is, not
an unusual thing for sheep to arrive on
the market here with "ticks" on them;
this -while not actual disease -unfits
the sheep for market purposes, and
they simply have to be sent neck to the 1
country. The matter is of more than
ordiriery importance at the present
moment, when the increasing price of
beef will cause a lam consumption of
lamb and mutton, and farmers will be
only consulting their own immediate
and future interests by'acting as prompt.
1y as possible on the suggestions made
at this meeting. It was resolved that
a synopsis of the views enunciated be
forwarded to the Minister of Agricul
tura.

inventive genius which supplies hum-
anity with a new need stimulates indus-
trial production to an enormous extent.
Men never knew they needed a tele-
phone until the telephone was perfected,
thus giving work to thousands employ-
ed in producing and operating systems
for the electric transmission of conver-
sation. The inventor of the typewriter
discovered a need for typewriters, and
millions of dollars and thousands of
men and women are employed in satis-
fying that need. Until the last few
years the bicycle was the toy of the
athletes. When the low wheel and
pneumatic -tire machine was evolved, it
became a necessity. A new need was
discovered, and the bicycle factories are
the liveliest industries in Canada today.

For the year ending June 30, 1894,
Canada exported pot apd pearl ashes
to the value of $57,654, and leached and
unleached ashes to the value of $52,110,
a tots! of $109,764, At ten cents a
bushel this represenbs over 1,000,000
bushels. At the same time there are
several million fruit trees in Ontario
alone bearing small crops partly be-
cause of the lack of the very food con-
tained in ashes. The Rural New York-
er puts the fact thus in its issue of May
4 -"Ages ago a great ice glacier slowly
ground its way south from Canada. As
it came it carried with it rock and soil
from thet part of the country. Whenen
at last it melted and mil into the At-
lantic wbere this soil was deposited,
and now, doubtless, grows crops to ,sus-
tain some American's family. To -day
another glacier is working south, de-
positing the best of Canadian soil on

The appointment of Mr. Wood to a fat

The wool season of 1895 is at hand,
and activity and improvement ate both
lacking. The market is in a waiting
attitude and not fully established, bu t
a careful study of the conditions should
enable dealers to form some idea of the
immediate future, whatever may be
the trend of values at some time dis-
tant. The removal of the duty last
year in the United States has no clout' t
influenced the wool market on this side
of the Atlantic and, today, is a domin-
ant factor in determining prices. Our
Liberal friends, who have been all
along clamoring for free trade with the
United States, hailed this Wilson free
trade in wool with delight, and at once
predicted a rise in the Canadian wool
market. "Don't you know," they
said, "our wool can now go into the
United States free, an they (the Ameri-
cans) will just pay us the difference be-
tween the old tariff and free wool." But
these hopes have not been realized, and
there is no prospect that Canadian wool
this season will advance any in price
over last year. The truth is, that
whilst the Wilson bill admitted our
wool into the United States markets
free of duty, it ale° allowed Australian
and Cape wool in, and compared with
the output of those countries the Can-
adian yield is only a shread. By the
United States taking down their tariff
fence, it not only admits Canada but
all the world besides, and unless we
had a Goldwin Smith commercial union,
or its equivalent. annexation, what
special good would free irade with the
United States do, when all other coun-
tries would have an equal privilege ?
