The; funded debt 'payable in Canada%'.li•s• $21803,460, and, in London; $207,041e. 6 The revenue during Decerciber amounted' to $12,931,466, of which seven and one-half millions was de rived from customs. The expendi- ture was a little over nine and one- quarter millions. December's net reyenue ah ws a decrease of a mil- lion and a quarter, compared with December, 1912. For the nine months of the present fiscal year the revenue was $127,571,762. This is an increase of three millions over the same period last year., Capital expenditure on public works, including railways and can.. ala, amounted to .$3,407,611 during December. Railway subsidies were half a million. For the nine•m©nt'hs of the present year the 'amount was $40,828,951, an increase of $18,000,- 000 over the same period last year. The $15,000,000 subsidy to the Can- adian Northern accounts for most of this. In customs revenue there was a net decrease of $391,215, the figures being $82,738,294, as against $84,- 747,008, but from the latter must be deducted $1,817,499 of Chinese revenue, which is this year included in "miscellaneous" revenue, so that the actual customs receipts for the nine months of 1912 were $82,- 929,509.

The claim is made that there is just as nubh potato disease in the United States as in Canada, and that the object of embargo is to keep the American market for the potato -growers of Maine. A pecu- liar feature of the situation, how- ever, is. that while Hon. Martin Bitrrell has not decided upon a policy of retaliation be has been practically advised to do so by Dr. Gussow, -.Dominion Botanist, who has been looking into the potato situation both in the United States and Canada.
