tXpOs*rroR,
fereed throagh the .House in 1871, a res-
olution was introduced te satisfy the
murmurings of Munat -followers,
the terins of which,pro that. it Was
not even then intendeo the compact
should. be literally comp ted with. The
burdens of such a Work mild not cease
with the building of the road, It was
possibk; to grant laud far the construc-
tion of the railway, but i might be pos-
sible,.by &Aug e price u on the land, to
exclude population, and the. first neces-
sity was to make ingress to the country
so easy, and. larsd so che p, as to fill it
as early as possible -with a population.
The low -est estimate of the cost of the
road made by Mr. Sandford Fleming was
esoft000,000. The char es and. interest
on that amount could no be less than
$6,000,000 per annum. It was estimat-
ed that not until the po dation of the
regions traversed num ered 3,000,000
would the road pay its -w rking expeeses.
These expenses were caljculated. at not
less than $8,000,000 a re3r, and that
vast sum would. not had de renewals of
rails and sleepers which would. have to
be made, if iron rails werr. employed, ev-
ery eight or nine years. It must be ex-
pected, therefore, that t ey would have
to provide $6,000,000 a y ar to 'keep the
road in operation.
But it was not only th legal contract
made between the Do oo ion Govern-
ment and British Coln. o;bia that 'had.
created embarrassment. That bargain
declared the terminus of he road 'should
be ,on the shores of the Pacifie Ocean,
but the late Government had. agreed to.
locate it at Esquirnalt in Vancouver Is-
land, 240 miles further th the point on
the mainland which woul comply with
the original obligation. or was this the
illy additional responsibility inVolved

difficulties to be encou tered in con-
etructing the line to Esq imelt would be
enormous. After leaving Waddington

be of the most costly construction, in-

from 4 to 9 knots an hour The 30 miles
intervening between the mainland and
Vancouver was studdei with islands
which,. must be crossed, d which would
involve works r of the so ost formidable
character. These wer some of the
difficulties which faced t i e Government

NEW: YORK HORSE MARKET.
TDESDAY,! May 12, 1874.
,
The horse market had; shown little or
no improvement over last week. The
general trade ruled rather dull, on ac-
count Of the unfavorable weather, and
the demand, was confined to farm and
ordinary business horses. Ordy a few
sales of higher priced stock were effect-
ed, r
1
ging , from $1,000 to •$1,500 per
pair f r carriage horses, and from $450
to $55 per head. for coupe horses. The
sales held through the agency of the
public auction ma* were well- supplied
with stock of all kinds; fair prices were
realized for desirable lots but there were
harddly any biq.ers for inferior animals.
A serious drawbaek upon our lohal horse
trade is: the prevalence to an unusually
• large extent of all sorts of spring dis-
eases, like influenza, pinkeye, &c., the
uncommonly wet and unseasonable
weather of the last two Imonths having
greatly contributed. to 1 aggravate and
spread these maladies, !Rest and good -
nursing will, as a rule, ite-establish the
normal condition of the sick animals,
and it is only where they are worked
while suffering that complications will
arise which frequently prove fatal.
Sales !of thoroughbreds and trotting
stock ; The trotting mare, Queen Lyde,
was sold by Mr. W. S. Downton, of
Danville, Ky., to Mr. Griswold, of New
York, !for $2,500. • A pair of bay mares,
by Treesd.ell's, Hambletonian, 5 and. 6
-yearshild, were sold. by Mr. IL E. Sage,
of Easton, Penn., to Cob G. M. Dusen-
bury, Of New York, for $3,000. (Phae-
ton and harness were included in this
transaction.) At an auction sale recent-
ly held by Bond' Brothers, in Toronto,
