not as r cod, a.reputatiOn ; the Dan-
1
lath and New Zealand butter sur-
passed it ; the Irish was about
equal to it, and tho Siberian was
rapidly approaching it. A week
point in Canadian butter was that
many samples of it contained too
much moisture. The manlier of
packing was also defective, es-
pecially as regards the parchment
paper which was found inferior,
flabby and soft when the packages
were opened.. The keeping quuli-
ties of the- butter might also he
improved.
As to h.o#-ses there was a univer-
sal feeling in favor of Canadian
horses, draft, van•or express hors-
es, and carriage horses. The
trouble was that they could not
get enough. Canadian horses were
well.mouthed, well broken, docile,
full of spirit and singularly hand
some. Prime draft horses weigh-
ing 1700 Ibs. and upwards would
command as high as $400 to $500 in

f mend, range in price from $300 to
$375 for first class animals, $240 to
$275 for seconds, and :150 to $225
for cobs. "Van" horses used
' largely by the railway companies j
brought $325 to $375 for first class,

. CONSUMPTIVE.
The. New PFroe Cousurnptive Hospital
Will Admit Consumptives Absolutely
withoutjcharge.
The appeal being made on behalf of the
new Free Consumptive Hospital, built
under the auspices of the National Sani-
tarium Association -the first Free Con-
sumptive Hospital in Canada --is one that
touches closely the heart -strings of every
man, woman, and child the broad Domin-
ion over. Where is the community, far
or near, Without its sufferers from this
dread white plague? We are all in-
terested in bringing these relief and re-
storing them . to health, family, and
active citizenship again.
One important step in this direction
has been taken in the erection of the new
Free Consumptive Hospital, due to the
beneficence of two Toronto citizens, and
which is now nearly completed. When
the workmen go out of the building, and
that will be almost immediately, all that
is wanted to make it ready to receive the
consumptivev
is that it be supplied with
beds and other furnishing. appointments,
no charge whatever being made for
admittance,
The National Sanitarium Association
aro already carrying too heavy a debt to
undertake the furnishing themselves,
but the way is open for each one to help
in raising the $10,000 needed for this
purpose. The sum is not a large one.
Ten thousand individual contributions of
$4.00 each out of a population of nearly
6,000,000 people would aeeolpplish this
end. Some, of course, with their hearts
racked by the sufferings of relatives,
friends, or fellow -citizens, will, out of their
abundance, do better than. this. Fifty
dollars wilt furnish a bed. What is needed
is that the amount be raised quickly, that
the many knocking at the doors of the
National Sanitarium Association may
find a place open for them.
Contributions for this purpose, $1.00
or more, will bo received by Sir Wm. R.

CANADA CRITICIZED.
=RED FOR ATTITUDR REGARD-,
INV NAVAL DEFENCE.
London Globe Correspondent Thinks
it is Due to Domiiation of Que-
bec in gouncils.
London, Dee. 31.---A eorr•espondent of
The London Globe in an article entitled
'Canada and naval defence" scores Can-
ada for standing aloof from the general
colonial sympathy with imperial aims
and ideals. He says that what intensi-
fies this feeling of disappointment is
that this result is due to the virtual do-
mination of Quebec in the councils of
Canada, and the truckling to the altra-
montane elements thereof. statesmen,
the article says, by adopting a manly,
vigorous and straightforward policy
would go far towards killing out such
feeling and prove that Canada, as a
whole, is lays loyal and devoted as any
part of Greater Britain. The article
says that such a conclusion is not legi-
timately deducible from, the circum
stances of her refusal to offer a sum
towards the Imperial navy and the de-
fence of the empire.
GRAND TRUNK EARNINGS.
London 'Financial News on Question
of Third Preference Dividends.
London, Dec. 31. -Friends of the
Grand Trunk here comfort the share-
holders of the road, who were disap-
pointed with the November earnings, by
quoting figures showing that the net
profits of the past five months have in-
creased by $233,500 ; the gross re-
ceipts have increased by $1,055,500, the
working expenses have also increased by
$5.22,000. The Financial News says :-
"It is doubtful whether holders of third
preference will get any dividend, for the
directors are expected to maintain the
financial strength of the company in
view of the Grand Trunk Pacific under-
taking, costing $150,000,000 to $175,000,-
000."
