This depo it wae considered necessary for the prey ntion of bogus candidates. PROHIRMON. On Wednesday Mr. Roes, Mid esex, moved the adoption of ithe renort of the Prohibitory Liquor Law Com Mee, recommending a Cemmission of E quiry into the operation of such laws either now existing or that have in past existed in the United States. Ile ed, in the first place, to the fact tl petitions already presented durieg the session bore no less than 77,252 signa- tures of private individuals; whil those from corporations represented a opula- tion of -362,135' souls, In addi ion: to this, the Legislature of ()aerie had. a • year ago petitioned in the same eense, and a petition was now on its wa from the Legislature of NeW Brunewic . He then proceeded to establish by sta istical returnthe rapid increase of eri ti e, and the coribectioa between the liquo traffic and eriine, and showed, that whil crime , in Outwit) and Quebec had increa. ed . 35 per cenie, the liquor traffic in th: same period had increased 34 per cen . He next contrasted the proportionate num- • ber of temperate and intempere e pee - sons convicted. of offences age:4st the -laws, andevoked large amount of j udicial testimony itt support:ofhis exp.' ents, showing the effect in suppressing crime • of the prohibition of the traffic n the Stete of Maine, as compared with the ef- fect of unrestricted trafficelsewh re. He then, in an elaborate argument, j stiffed special legislation for this traffic, nd ex- amined very critically and ably t e econ- omical effect of the restrictions ea octited by the supporters of abolition. is de- ductionfrom_ an exhaustive aa ysisi. of the whole question were that to raise a revenue of from five to sixmil lops of dollars the country was mulcted exclu- sive of the loss of htimari lives in the chargeof $29,000,000. At the lose of speech Mr. Ross we.s warmly heered by members on both sides of the Honse. Mr. Farrow proposed. to ulcer as an amendment a direct declaration i favor of prohibition. A diieussion th reupon arose on the question' of order, in the • comae of which Mr. Mackenzie xpress- ed his *arm iaterest in the; qn stiou of prohibition, to which' he was pe onally favorable, and. would do all in hi power to assist and further 'the: pro,pe sed in quiry. He pointed .out, howev •a that the concurrence of public opiiime was absolutely necessary to the se cess of such legislation, and be did not believe that public Opinion iVaS so far 'e uca,ted on the subject at preselut as to • justify immediate legislative action. T e object of the enquiry was te seeure an ffective measure when the right time c me for the House to deal with the liana traffic, and he advised, apart from the point of order, that Mr. Ross'motion sh.uld be adopted, Mr. Farrow then ithdrew his amendment,- and, theemotion 'Of Me.

The aggregate of •transactions, including • all classes of horses was probably , in. excess •, of the total amourit of sales' effected in course of the preceding •fortnight. Busi- ness horses were in good demand, and prices, especially of prime truck horses, such as 'are Wanted for heavy work. were firmly maintained, Ordinary road horses were • in • slack demand throughout, though values appear not very materially affected, There was an active inquiry for fine carriage horses and if not inter- fered with by unfavorable weather, sales in this direction would likely have been doubled. Very fine and stylish coach horses, 16.2 hailde high, sold at from $1,800 to $2,000 • from 16 to'16.2 hands high, at from $1,:200 to $1,500 ; below 16 ,hands high, at from. $800 te $1,000 per pair. The 'ember of horses eent for dis- tribution to the public auction marts showed a considerable increase. Bids for poor horses were extremely low, de- sirable stock brought, as a rule, its cur- rent market value. .
