bond houses in 'Sweet* and Monteeal
alone appear to buy by far the greater
part of Canadian bond offerings. This
talk of London market affectingprices
appettre to mo 1,o be all humbolg.'
,
Of course, this man didn't know any-
thing about the matter. Ho was quite
correct (at leaet he would have been quite
correot) had he said that "Canitdian"
houses absorbed a large part of the boucle
offered here, and left out the rest. He
forgot (or never knew) that during 1411
alone our railroads—stes.m and electric—
sold no less than $86,000,000 of bonds and
debentures in England without the inter.
vontion of Canaaian Monet.
This one item, then, is a very good and
sufficient reason for watching carefully the
tendency of prices in London au a baro-
meter ot our own. Last year England
bought no lees than $200,000,000 of our 00.
011014000. the greater part of which were
bonde.
Unfortunately, loot year, Canadians
didn't take sufficient care in preparing
offerings, and as a remit some of them
disappointed their purchneere. This had
the further unfortunate result of making
the public cautious until now there is
little chance of any Canadian securities
being successfully issued in London that
have not the backing of some interna-
tionally well known Canadian bond home.
Land, and particularly timber compa11.
ies, have cone a long way to help dis-
credit Canadian securities in London. Per-
haps it would be more accurate to say
that the British inveetor has become vela,
skeptical with regard to the extravagant
promises of a number of these. More
than a few of last year's issues were
taken to London, whith were in no posi-
tion to be offered as investments. As a
result the underwriters were loaded en
with a lot of stuff that they are still
vainly trying to unload on the public.
Thie has, of course, affected the market
for high grade Canadian bonds, so that
we find very excellent municipal teems
falling fiat on the market. The effect of
thia has been merited. A year ago Bran.
don debentures could be readily sold on
O 41.0 per cent, basis. Now 'Mena Imlay
be bought at 43.4 or even 40.8 per cent.
nits is just a sample of the effect of the
dullness in London on oior market here,
What the bond houses and municipalities
are looping for is, of course, a reversal
of form in London, and a renewed de.
mond for our municipal debentures, This
would mean that many bonds purchased
during thie year will Show a very hand-
some increase , in price of two to four
points. It would also make a very good
demand for many debentures which city
councils have been afraid of issuing ow-
ing to the hook of demand from London.
Por though practically all our municipal
debentpres are sold to Canadian bond
houses,- most of these place the greater
percentago of the large issues in London.
That is one reason wily the London
market is so important. Another reaeon
is that the Englieh investor is eatisfled
with a lower yield than the Canadian
and so moot of our low yield bonde are
sold there.
Moreover, our railroads do practically
all their financing in London. Last De-
cember the Canadian Northern sold no
Inee than $36,000,000 of bonds in one block
in London at a comparatively low rate.

But the trouble probably lies deeper than
any mere question of league organization.
In the writer's opinion it dates 'back sev-
eral years, when brutal play was allow-
ed to play a prominent part in the de.
cision of the bog league lacrosse contests.
Big crowds attended the games, "games"

why the brutality was permitted. It maY
have been incompetent officials, or a mis-
taken idea on the part of the manage-

all of these. Por a period the best player

farcical from their one-sidednees. And
the attendance dropped some more.
Therein seems to lie the real trouble

STUDENT OF PROTERMS.
Judge Barron, of Stratford, who
has BOW(' aS arbitrator in many im-
portant disputes of labor and capi-
tal, founded his early education on
the Book of Proverbs. Not that he
did so willingly at the time, but ra-
ther out .of fear of his schoolmas-
ter's birehings, Day in and cley out,
the &mink of tha judge's country'
school drilled his boys on the words
of Solomon until at graduation
young Barron had hundreds of vers-
esnsurned into his memory by the
Lear of punishment. Those proverbs
have helped the judge in later life
to put an intricate situation into a
nutshell, and not infrequently has
he confounded barristers by
"springing" a particularly apt pro-
verb that played havoc with the
CITY ENTERS BITTCHER TRADE.
The City Council has committed Steel1
to an expenditure of $300,000 for a muni-
cipal abattoir; in other words, a muni-
eipal wholesale butcher shop, and thus
expresses a determination not th let, the
meat businesa of Toronto fall into the
hands of a moat trust, euell as dominates
the famoue Chicago stock yards, and
through them most of the eities of the
United States.
It will be intereeting to see how the
problem works out in Teronto. Toronto
has been in the cattle market business
for many years; in fact for a long time
it bad a monopoly in that department.
But it did not take full advantage of its
opportunity, with the result that now the
eity cattle yerdo are altogether too small,
are inconveniently- eituated, and a big
proportion of the business is going to the
privately -operated union stook yards,
whieh campy commodious premises at
West Toronto,
It is mid the Union Stock Yards form a
potential nuoleus for a Canadian meat
trust. Ono of the most active firms op.
eratiee there le the Canadian branch of
the Elvrift Co. of Chicago. Recently the
two largent Canadian Orme, the Rarrie
Abattoir Co. and Gfinn's, which formerly
bought cattle both at the city yerds and
the Tinfoil Stock yards, announced that in
future they would buy only at the latter.
And it IN said the fourth large firm, Park -
Blackwell, will shortly follow suit.
The reeult is that the city. te, save -its
oattle market, in forced into tho abattoir
bueinoss, A municipal abattoir will en-
able the email independent wholesale
butchere, of whom there are Perham a
ecore, to kill their animals and distri.
buto to the retail trade economically; and
their business, on the other band, will
loom the pity cattle yards going.
Without the eity abattoir, and with the
big firms buying only at the Union Stook
Yards the business in the alto yards would
Ooon dwindle to ineignificant proportions,
the independent wholesale butchere would
be compelled to go to the big fellows for
their supplies, and the whole businese
would be effectually centralized in per-
haps four firms,
Thie is what the City Council wants to
prevent.

s everyone knows, Toronto has one of
e finest harbors, if not the very 'finest,
