THE FRUIT CROP.. Much Dardage mono by Mice and Frost. , The fruit digislpn at Ottawa, sent out tY request tor information as to the damages byj mice and trod fur-` trig the past 'winter, and ha,s re- ceived a ' enj large number at re- pli,eis (nom. ate parts of the Dorniniou. The da,miage from mice has been most ,serious in Ontario and Quebec. There are or; course, isolated oases In all parts of. the' Donidnlon, and there has been° a ,serious increase in the number of melee during the pat year. The damage to nursery stook was pksrticular'l) severe, and it is .sere to say that not lea' than 25 per cent. of all stock "Heeled in" out doors laae 'been destroyed. The. young trees in all parts of Ontar- io, and in the fit, Lawrence and Ot- tawa Valley's, suffered, according to their location. Several . correspon- dents put their loss at 50 per cent. of all tress of three years and less. The injury] was almost northing Where young orchards had clean cul- ture throughout the season. As tee protection to the •mice was '"in- urea,sed by the growth of weeds, grass or clover crop, so the pro- portion of loss increased. Snow provided them excellent protection, under which they could work on trees, In some cases up to the limbs'.. Forest trees and hedges suffered to an equal extent. The lows will pro- babl'y reach about 25 per cent. of all young trees. The practice of the best orchard- ist seems to be to grow. the cover crop ,even at 'the risk of encourag- ing the mice, and to protect the trees against their attacks. Keep- ing a small circle about the trees clean, is not, in itself, a sufficient protection', Mr. L. J3'il1?re(rn, of Leamington, Ont., Mr. A, C. (Sltarr, of Starr's Point, NF S., and several other cor- respondents, huge feted the throw- ing of two( or three shovelfuls of lease earth about the trunks of the trees, to form' a ,small mound, quite sufficient to protect their trees.

London, June 6. -Hon, Edward Blake, M. P., speaking at Longford, Ireland, said, the choice before him was that of giving up either the trepresentation of the constituency; or his professional work. He decided to give up the latter, remaining their representative as long as they wish- ed him to de so. Speaking of the new land act, he said the farmers must 'rover forget that they) had at their backs ..the old safeguards. Un- eatiefaetory' as the act was on judi- cial rent, tneys need not buy the land on anyl terms the landlords demand- ed. The Freeman's Journal, comment- ing on Hon. Edward B,lako'•s Long- ford address, say's there was never any patriot who sacrificed so much on behalf of Irish 'liberty from the time he first joined the Irish party). Though willing to serve in the ranks, his advice has been soaaght by the leaders, and has .always been mod- erate, sane,, firm and definite{ FATAL WALKINU MATCH.

Paris, June 6. -Petal results ifol- lowedche army walking match yes- terday from the Place de la Con- corde to St. Germain and back, a dis- tance of about 28 miles, in which 2,000 soldiers from many regiments took apart, and which was won b3' a private of the 149th Regiment 'in six hours, fourteen minutes and tw.o seconds. Reports received by the Minister of ;War show that forty-two mei, are missing and a number of them are said to have succumbed to hardships. B,esidee those missing thirty-fonr men were taken to the hospitals along the course, in various stages of prostration. Six were in a ser- ious condition, one man is dead and soother dangerously ill. Some reports place the number of dead at four. FIGHT FOR BRITISH MARKET. European 011 Companies Cutting Prices Below Cost. London, Juno '6. -Tele newspapers here are malting a feature of the struggle of the oil companies to secure British custom. Tliey , say that the competition between ,the Consolidated Petroleum Company and the Caucasian Petroleum Export Company las beeen going ion for some time. Prices have been steadily cut, compelling the Anglo-American Oil Company, supported by the Standard 011 Company, to enter the fight and reduce the price of Rus- sian oil to 5 cents a gallon, a de- crease of 2 cents. Tins makes the selling price less than cost. Urea fight is not expected to af- fect Aanerican oil, in which the Anglo-American Company practi- cally has a monopoly. T1HBUTANS DRIVEN OUT.

The sorting demand for season- able goods shows a little more activity in some departments. The general out- look for trade is promising. Stocks of staple goods in manufacturers' hands are not heavy. Values are firmly hold. Shipping circles show more activity. Labor is well employed. "{'Wholesale trade at Toronto is scarce- ly as active as it was at this time last ,year, but the movement this week has improved a little, Stocks, of summer goods in retailers' hands are not heavy, but as they carried over considerable lots from the winter, they are buying cautiously. The wheat crop this year Will be 5,000,000 bushels short. • At Quebec there is no apparent change in trade circles over that of the preced- ing week. Shoe manufacturers continue busy and are likely to be for some time, to come. At Victoria, Vancouver and other Pacific Coast points trade reports re- ceived by Bradstreet's are favorable. A good business is being done with the Yukon. Trade in Manitoba and the Territories is fair. Orders for (the fall are numer- ous and large in anticipation of a Iarger demand due to increased population through toe Large arrival of settlers, and also in the expectation of a larger wheat crop improving the demand. In Hamilton trade has been very active this week. The sorting demand is fair, and large shipments are being made. Fall, orders have been coning forward, and the outlook is for a steady improve- ment in geiceral business. There has been a fair movement in wholesale trade at London this week as reported to Bradstreet's. Ottawa wholesale business is of fair eoluaiie for this season, although in some departments the sales do not equal diose at this period a year ago. The country is buying. rather more freely of seasons. able goods now.
