to Europe to etude. the swine rearing in-
dustry- has been iesuecl. It eons: is of
a lsarrrphri t of sixty pages of printed
matter min a large number of striking
iI uetratkns.
The enrultiles visited were Eag'a'te],
Scotland, Ireland, Denmark and Hon
laud. 1)enntare. and Ireland, being the
atrongeet eompetitol•s of Canada in the
British market, received most attention.
The report described dearly how• the
bogs are bred and reared, and the var•f-
aus steps taken to develop the export
bae.nn trade. The far-famed co-operative
system, as applied by the Danes to the
breeding and rearing of the swine, the
packing and niut king, is fully deseribcd.
Co-operative feed buying, which iuvolves
the purchn,e of over six hundred 0(111fon
pounds of grain. oil eake, etc,; a year,
is fully- dealt with.
A valuable feature of the report is
the attention given to the methods fol-
lowed in the different countries for
maintaining harmony between packers
and fanners, and the securing ore uni-
form supply of pigs. Co-operation, not
only between farmers, but between
farmers and packers, is credited with ex-
cellent remits. •'Phis is especially true

OYSTER RATES
Express Companies Must Lower
Their Tariff.
Companies' Responsibility For Money
Parcels Somewhat Lessened.
Toronto report; The classification of
goods carried by express companies, and
the arrangement of a new schedule of
charges to be made by the companies,
occupied the attention of the Board
of Railway Commissioners for sev-
eral hours yesterday. The board de-
ckled to restore the former rate on oys-
ters shipped from Providence to Toron-
to, $1.50. .A. few months ago the rate
was increased by the express companies
to $L70.
In arguing against the reduction
the Canadian Express Company claim-
ed that it would result in making
the rate from Buffalo to Toronto 50
cents instead of 70 cents, as at pre-
sent, as the Adams Express Company
would still receive $1 for carrying
oysters from Providence to Buffalo. The
Canadian Express Company would re-
ceive only ten cents out of the $1.50.
The Dominion Express Company
had been willing to continue at the
$1.60 rate, but the Canadian Express
Company, it was stated, had insisted
on increasing it to $51.70. The latter
did not handle oysters, but controlled
the Buffalo -Toronto express rate, as it
was the' only express company with the
mileage.
Chief Commissioner Mabee stated
that it was understood that there
should be no increase in any rate while
the new classification was being made.
The old tariff should stand in the mean-
time.
Tne board yesterday decided to re-
duce the time for which express com-
panies are liable for the safety of
money parcels after notice of the ar-
rival of the money has been mailed
to the persons to whom it is shipped.
Heretofore ,tho time has been forty-
eight hours, but the board ordered that
twenty-four hours shall be the limit in
future. ; i �i•

YORK LOAN.
Shareholders May Expect Final Divi-
dend This Year—Land Sold.
Toronto, June 6. ---Less than $100,000
worth of building land of the defunct
York County Loan and Savings Com-
pany remains to be disposed, of by the
liquidators, the National Trust Co, This
represents a frontage of 2,000 feet, val-
ued on an average of $4.5 a foot. Un-
less something unforeseen !tae -pens, the
whole should be sold within three
months, when the liquidators will lee
able, to prepare for the payment of a
final dividend to the shareholders.
Most of tho real estate has been sold
on terms, but no anxiety is entertained
as to the possibility of disposing of the
mortgages unless some financial panic,
of which tliere is at present no indica-
tion, should strike the money market.
As spatters stand at present many of
the mortgagee could be disposed of at
a premium sufficient to go a long -way
towards defraying the liquidation ex-
penses,

NE +; ODERRiOR
Presbyterian General Assembly Meet-
ing in Halifax.
••l It •„M• i
Inspiring Sermon by Rev, Dr, Lyle,
the Retiring Moderator,
Halifax, N. S., despatch: A magnifi-
cent audience greeted Rev. Dr. Lyle,
the retiring Moderator, as he rose in
St. Matthew's Church here to open the
thirty-sixth General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church. The singing of
the National Anthem was appropriately
given a place in the devotional exercises.
The preacher departed from traditional
usage and delivered his sermon instead
of reading it from manuscript..
After the assembly had been consti-
tuted Dr. Lyle remarked that during the
year he had represented. the church at
two state dinners, and that he had
takeno ca io
c s n toh
t ani. Earl Grey -pri-
vately for his kindly act in placing a
wreath upon the grave of the late Dr.
James Robertson.
When nominations for the Moderator -
ship were called for, Principal Patrick,
Winnipeg, proposed Principal John For-
rest, of Dalhousie University. The nom-
ination was seconded by Hon. D. C.
Fraser, Lieutenant -Governor of Nova
Scotia. •
Rev. Dr. R. P. Mackay, Foreign Mis-
sion Secretary, Toronto, was nominated
by Prof. Ballantyne, Knox College, and
Rev. Dr. J. A. Turnbull, Toronto. Dr.
Mekay, however, withdrew, and Principal
Forrest was declared elected- In a feli-
citious address, the Moderator -elect
thanked the assembly for the honor con-
ferred upon him.
It is ten years since the assembly last
met in Nova Scotia, and the people of
Halifax are unfeignedly gladto see the
members.
Two big questions coming up for con-
sideration are the relation of Queen's
University to the church, which may
dome to a cleoisive vote, and the question
of union with the _Methodist and Con-
gregational churches, which, in all prob-
ability, will be remitted to the Presby-
teries under the Barrier Act.
FACTORS OF EMPIRE BUILDING.
The theme of the sermon by the re-
tiring Moderator was "The Factors of
Empire Building." Basing his argument
on the words of Jesus to His disciples,
"Freely ye have received, freely give,"
