The business summaries from New
York report trade generally quiet and
unchanged throughout the United
States. The coining Presidential elec-

the chief factors in the present commer-

which there appears to be any move-
mteat is the boot and shoe industry,
and that has slightly improved, though
dealers are ordering only what they
immediately require. The textile
trade shows no improvement. So far,
fortunately, the depression has not
been increased to any extent by lab-
or disputes. Cotton, wool, and steel
and iron industries are all slow. Mer -
ca: tile collections are reported gen-
erally as unsatisfactory.

BUTTER SENT IN ICED CARS.
A Good Thing for Those Engaged in the
Dairy Business.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—Ar-
rangements have been made with the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company
for the running of refrigerator oars
for butter to Montreal on terms sine-
ilar to those which were agreed, upon
last season. In Ontario, a car will leave
Teeswater es ter and Owen Soundonce a fort-
night,
o t -night, picking up butter at stations be-
tween those points and Toronto, where
the shipments will be consolidated in-
to a through ear for Montreal. At ata -
tions between Toronto and Montreal
butter will be pielted up en route. It
is expected that similar arrangements
will be made with the Grand Trunk
Railway for cars over its lines. The
cars will be iced as frequently as is
necessary to keep the butter cool
throughout the whole journey. Par-
ticulars as to the exact time when
these refrigerator cars will leave the
stations en route to Montreal may be
obtained from the railway agents. The
arrangements are that sliipiwrs of
butter by these ears and routes will
be charged the usual "less than ear -
load rates," without any 'charge for the !
icing or the special service, which are
to be provided for by the Govedrnanent.
As far as space will permit, merebanis'
may use these cars for shipment of

A DARING ROBBERY.
Row a Banker Was Bobbed Out or $?I,•
000 One Day at Noon.
Mx. Moffat is the Denver banixee
who was robbed of $21,000 in his priv-
ate office one day at noon. The rbb-
ber held a revolver in one hand and a
bottle of nitroglycerin in the other. He
requested Mr. Moffat to write a check
for $21,000 under penalty of being shot
and of having his bank building wreck-
ed by the explosive in the bottle. Mr.
Moffat is reputed to be worth as many
millions as the number of thousands de-
manded by the robber. He wrote the
check. The robber said he would leave
to trouble Mr. Moffat to go with him
into the paying teller's cage and pro-
duce the cash: he would take $20,000
in large bilis, and $1,000 in gold.
"If you say one word, or indicate by
a look or motion that anything is
wrong, I will shoot you and then flow
up the bank." Saying which the rob-
ber threw a light overcoat over his
arm concealing the revolver he held in
his hand, accompanied the bank pre-
sident into the teller's cage, received
the money and returned with Mr. Mof-
fat to the private office. He then re-
peated his threat to kill the banker and
blow u f the building if an alarm
should ;e given before he (the robber)
was safely outside the bank. He made
his escape and has not been captured.
The ro: b 'r's overcoat, revo'.ver and bot-
tle were found in a doorway near the
lank building. The revolver was load-
ed, but a chemical analysis of the con-
tents of the bottle revealed the fact
that the fluid was not nitroglycerin but
sweet oil.

THE TURKS ARE POOR PAY.
English ,artisans in Constantinople Want
Their Wages.
The British Ambassador at Constan-
tinople is just now engaged in the deli-
cate and difficult operation of extrac-
ting money from the Turkish Govern-
meat, which is about equivalent to
drawing blood from a stone. It seems
that the Porte, being in want of skill-
ed artisans to teach its own workmen
in the arsenal, induced a number of
Englishmen to go out to enter its.
service. The wages offered were suffi-
ciently liberal to tempt men of the
highest skill, but it proved to be paper
liberality, as might indeed have been
expected. The wages of most .of the
men are five or six months in arrears,
and one of them, who went out last Au-
gust, has not received a cent since, and
has to live on charity. The Ambassa-
dor has taken the liberty of suggesting
to the Porte that English workingmen.
are not accustomed to, and are consti-
tutionally unfitted to understand Turk-
ish methods of finance, but the .'Pashas
are equally unable, ;to comprehend how
a common toiler can expect to receive
what is 'due him. I

The Canadian. Petrillo Railway has col-

out Manitoba and the Northwest which
show the area of wheat sown this year
to be 10 per cent. less than last, on ac-
count of the lateness of the season. As
wet seasons have invariably been most

will le quite as great, if not greater,
than last year.

Between the opening of navigation
and the first of June 104 seagoing ves-
eels entered the port of Montreal. Of
these an even hundred were steamships
and the remainder schooners in the
coasting trade. Of this number 91 en-
tered during the month of May. xn
1895, from the opening of navigation
to June 1st, a total of 90 vessels from
sea came into that port, making a clear
gain of fourteen ships for this year
over last. In 1894, 122 vessels came
into port for a corresponding period.
The tonnage this year, however, equals,
if not. exceeds that of 1894.
Business shows no improvement in
wholesale departments at Toronto, but,
on the contrary there is a disposition
to hold off. Travellers have samples
of autumn and winter goods out with
them, but are taking few orders. This
is only natural. The seasons are rush-
ed too much, and at present retailers
have a good excuse in the election cry.
Prices of the leading staples show little
change, but generally they have a low-
er tendency. Few people buy on a fall-
ing market, and this is a discouraging
feature in the situation. Later on the
movement will no doubt increase, as
stocks held by country merchants are
not large. They are held chiefly by
the manufacturer and the importer.
There is a decline of probably two cents

in the week are not very encouraging,
but they reflect the general depression
that has existed in trade within the

THE SOUDAN.
The Destination or, file Expedition—To
Reach Khartoum by Christmas,
It is the belief of the British War
Office authorities that the Nile expe-
tion will be at Khartoum by Christmas,
and that by the end of next spring
it will he at Egypt's southern bound-
ary on the White Nile. The recent vic-
tory of Egyptian troops over the der-
vishes at Firket increases the expec-
tations of the English military circles,.
the members of which think that the
expedition will sweep the Soudan with-
out risk of disaster. Cooler calculators,
even within the Ministry itself, are con-
sidering the possibility • of the strain
which will be made on men and mon-
ey. The recent --decision of tbe mixed
tribunal at-Cateo against the expendi-
ture of moneys for the purpose of the
expedition by the Commission of the
Public Debt has excited considerable
discussion. The decision will be ap-
pealed from. The Indian contingent of
4,200 men which is to occupy Souakim
will cost £550,000 a month for pay and
maintenance alone. The additional ex-
pense of transportation, munitions, etc.,
cannot accurately be estimate& The
Viceroy of India has protested against:
placing the financial burden of the ex-
pedition on the Indian exchequer. It
must finally fall on the :English treas-
ury. If the Englishtax-payers get
out of this enterprise under an:expen-
diture of £10,000,000 they will be lucky.

ARMORED TORPEDO BOATS.
Argentina Has Four to Go Tweuty.six
Knots au Hour.
Recently there was launched from the
yard of Messrs. Yarrow &
Co.,
of Lon-
don, on, a torpedo boat destroyer which
differs from vessels of this class built
for the British navy chiefly in respect
of being armored.
The boat is one of four similar vessels
now in course of construction. Her
length over all is 190 feet 8 inches, her
breadth 19 feet 0 inches, and her depth
amidships 12 feet. With a draught
of 5 feet the displacement will be
about 250 tons.
The armament comprises on 18 -inch
tropedo tube, built into the stem for
bow fire, and two 18 -inch swivel tor-
pedo tubes on deck aft. The latter
command both sides of the vessel. There
will be a 14 pounder quirk -firing gun
mounted on the conning tower for-
ward, three 6 -pounder quick -firing
guns on the deck aft, and two Maxim
automatic guns just abaft the conn
Ing tower, one being on either side.
The policy of armoring these small
eraft has been a good deal discussed
lately, the interest in the subject hav-
ing been revived by some operations
during the late war in the East. About
eleven years ago Messrs. Yarrow &
Co. built for the Japanese Govern-
ment a small vessel, the E.otaka, which
was protected by armor, and was, we
believe, the first high-speed armored
torpedo craft. It will be remembered
that during the late war the Kotaka
led two important torpedo attacks, and
came through comparatively unharm-
ed, while the unarmored boats suffered
severely. The price paid by armor is,
of course, loss of speed, but :the Argen-
tine naval authorities are evidently of
opinion that it is advisable to sacrifice
something in swiftness in order to gain
protection. In our own navy there are,
as stated, no armored torpedo craft, it
being held that the very thin armor,
which alone can be used, is comparative-
ly useless, or worse than useless, while
it destroys the most valuable quality
in these little vessels—their paramount
speed.
Speed, however, is a relative term.
These Argentine destroyers are to
steam twenty-six knots, which would
be sufficient to enable them to per-
form their ostensible duty of putting
out of action torpedo boats proper. It
is now generally recognized, however,
that "destroyers" are but torpedo boats
of a larger growth, and this is fairly
well shown by the fact that the pres-
ent vessels have each three torpedo dis-
charges, which are certainly not intend-
ed for use against small craft.
Whatever may be the intention of the
designers, however, one may be sure
that no naval officer in command of a
destroyer would lose the opportunity of
bagging a battle ship or cruiser. For
such an opportunity the thief advant-
age of speed is that it enables the at-
tacking boat to pass "the zone of fire"
very quickly. Armor naturally les-
sens this advantage, but while it de-
tains the boat longer under fire, it
would keep out a. great many projec-
tiles that might otherwise be fatal. It
is, of course, guns of the smaller nature
that torpedo craft have most to fear.
The machine -fire gun sends a stream
of bullets which may almost be liken-
ed to a jet of water from a hose, and,
once the range were obtained, would
soon play havoc with the ordinary thin
plating of the average torpedo boat, It
is to keep out these projectiles that one-
half inch armor has been added to the
Argentine boats. This armor entire-
ly surrounds the engines and boilers.
The bulkheads at the ends of the ma
chinery space being also of steel one-
half inch thick.
The estimate& speed of these boats is
twenty-six knots.
TT1r.R CYCLE BOOB.
The bicycle book is the latest, a
pretty conceit which will doubtless find,
favor with the fair devotees of the
wheel, if not with those of the sterner
sex. It is intended to be used as a sort
of diary of one's trips and to record the
speed and length of eacn. ride. Like the
address book and the calling -list book,
which, have been found. really useful,
this little book is hand -Nada. The best
of paper should be used and the cover]
should be of canvas, parchment or loath-
er. A tiny painting, or penand ink
drawingof a wheel with a' suitable
otto r aptquotation, would be just
p .
right for decoration.

Mr. T. G. Ludlow, 334 Colborne Street,
Brantford, Ont., says : During seven
years prior to x886, my wife was sick all
the time with violent headaches. Her
bead was so hot that it felt like burning
up. She was weak, run, down, and so
feeble that she could hardly do anything,
and so nervous that the least noise startled
her, Night or day she could not rest and
life was a misery to her. I tried all kinds
of medicines and treatment f r -ter but
she steadily grew worse until I bought
six bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters from
C. Stork & Son, of Brampton, Ont., for
which I paid $g.00, and it was the best
investment I ever made in my life. Mrs.
Ludlow took four out of the six, bottles—
there was no need of the other two, for
those four bottles made her a strong,
healthy wrman, and removed every ail-
ment from which she had suffered; and
she ',enjoyed the most vigorous health.
