'(5.71)C° ,rUSScls tint FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1892, The final settlement of the Manitoba school question has been postponed for at least a year and the politicans will heave a sigh of relief. Tan only Dominion election petitions yet to be tried are those against Hon. 5, C. Patterson, of 'West Huron, and W. 11. Bennett, of East Simaoe. Both are Conservatives. I•r was reported in Ottawa on Satur- day that Lord Stanley had asked to be recalled. His term expires in May. itis successor will be Lord Abrdeen,ex-Vice. Foy of Ireland. Stn Jon; ABBOTT has tendered his reeig• nation as Premier of the Dominion of Canada and Lord Stauloy has asked Sir John Thompson, who has virtually been the leader since the deoease of Sir John A. Macdonald, to form a government. It is stated that Mr. Chapleau will drop out of the :cabinet and become Lieut.• Governor of Quebec. THE Interoolouial Railway has always been a minus gnantity in Canadian revenue tables. Its construction was necessary on national grounds, but it has never paid. It has, perhaps, yielded a return in other ways than in dollars, but if it can be made to go on yielding that return and yet cease to be a bill of ex- pense to this country, and besides this be the means of securing no fast Atlantic services, what sense is there in retaining it 7 IT is stated that though the Dominion Government is to be enlarged to the ex- tent of two additional Ministers, by the earryiug out of an act passed several years ago, W. R. Meredith's promised translation to Ottawa is not to take place. A few weeks ago, the organs were asserting that he must go to Ottawa and sot as a balance to Sir John Thompson ; now, he is told that he is not wanted, and that the offices must go to some of Sir John Thonmpson's particular friends in the Dolninioa Hoose.—'London Ad- vertiser. A IMPORT just issued by the Bureau of Industries shows that the total sum standing out in loans due to the 71 loan companies doing busine-s in Ontario is 9101,305,000, an increase of a little over 90,000,000 as compared with last year and over 815,00 ),000 es compared with 1887. In the same report it is stated that there were chattel mortgages registered in Ontario to the amount of 97,491,000 in 1880 ; 98,078,000 in 1890 ; and 99,504,- 000 in 1891. The proportion of these chattel mortgages given by farmers is placed at $2,017,000, 93,989,000 and 98,• 097,000 in each of the three years. WE have on several occasions drawn the attention of the public to the large amounts of Canadian money that are being employed in the United States. A good deal of comment on this subject has been the result. Many people think that our backs, having such privileges as are acom'ded them by the government, are aegleoting• Oenadiau commerce in thus using their surplus funds abroad, while others look upon it as injudicious and other again as unpatriotic. Neverthe- less, the soundness of the position from a banker's standpoint cannot be ignored, The question of bank reserves, that is ready cash to meet unexpected demands, has fur decades baffled writers on f tsanoe and the bankers of the Dominion have often been aaaused for keeping such a limited quantity of actoal cash on hand. With regard, then, to this money in the States, it is nothing but a reserve fund of our banks whish is available at all times. The great bulk of the $22,79.9,• 490 (as per Octobs'r statement) of Cana. ditto money used in the United States is on call, and can bo had almost immedi- ately. It is lent on stooks, grain, etc., on ample margin, and when placed by ex- periennod bankers there is comparatively little risk at stake, and the money can be had when wanted, Ll fact the amount invests l this w.,y is nearly ono -half of the total immediately available assets of one banks. In cases of emergency it would be e better asset (that is more readily obtainable) than if the amount was invested in some of our Government eteuritien. The latter wont%l be effected adversely say by a Canadian financial panie, and consequently could not be sold to advantage, while as it 18 011 call in the States, it would not bo necessary that the holder should be forood to eel' the security given as oollateral, bat merely to transfer theicem.•– Mews.

Tono;To real eatate boomsters are hauling some of the newspapers over the orals for giving away the feet that the bottom has fallen out of the boom. E. E. Sheppard,of Saturday Night, was one of the editors referred to. He does not deny the soft impeachment but says no wild oat speculations, outside of Winnh. peg boom, ever was known in Canada to compare with Toronto in the past and millions of dollars were squandered in real estate. There are 'hundreds of vacant houses in the city and scores of families are seeking homes elsewhere. The newspapers only did their duty to the public when they showed the true inwardness of the business. ll3iwfh. Regular meeting of our town Connell iu Industry hall on Monday evening next. Rev. T. E.
