Rising Prices.
After a long period of low prieee,.
whose decline from the inflated values
ofi873 and 1874, had steadily continued
till the present season, we are witness-
ing an. advauce in almost all lines of
inerchaudise, excepting, perhaps, dry
gQos. Stimulated by the American
demand, which is feverish if not wild
in its intensity, the British iron market
has taken great strinesnipward, and pig
iron, which sellers were imploring peo-
ple to buy at $16 in May, is• now grudg-
ingly sold at $28 per ton, a price at
which, in the language of a correspond-
ent. speculators may well "stand from
under." The leather market, which
has been advancing for some weeks, is
still strong, and a few days ago the
price paiefor hides was advanced to 9i
cents in Toronto and 10 cents in Mon-
treal, a remarkable and abnormal price,
which means to the tanner 10 or lOn
cents, which the wise tanner will hesi-
tate before he pays. Boot and shoe
prices, too, are advanced over the whole
list. In breadstuffs, the rise has been
gradual siuce the low rates prevailing at
the beginning of the year—$4 for super-
ior extra flour, 85 cents for spring and
95 cents for fall wheat in January—un-
til the present month, when the ascer-
tained deficiencies of Europe sent prices
up to $5.50 for flour and $1.35 for wheat.
With such a price for their grain, our
farmers ought to make all haste to de-
liver it. The advance since the new
crop has come in means a gain of not
less than $4,000,000 in the value of
wheat, and $6,000,000 in other grains,
in Ontario alone.
The increased valise of dairy products
means a profit to the Dominion of an-
other million at least; cheese, which
was a drug at 7 cents in August, being
now worth 12 cents. The price of hog
products and provisions are also en-
hanced ; the advance -in pork and bacon
to -day, as compared with July, being
equal to 10 or- 15 per cent. Groceries
have participated in the rise of prices
to a marked degree, as a few instances
will show. Sugars exhibit an advance
at the Scottish refineries equal to Inc
per pound this week. So great is the
excitement in teas that the Montreal
importers have withdrawn their sam-
ples from market, and. the extensive
New York house of Lowe & Co. have
not a single pcntud of green teas in stock,
having closed them out completely at a
large advance—an unprecedented state
of affairs in the New York market.
Dried fruits are also higher; floods in
Spain have probably enhanced the price
of raisins, and. currants have advanced
equal to 2s in Greece, with a very firm
market. No wonders therefore, that
wholesale dealers are rejoicing over the
actual and prospective profit of a rising
market. It is impossible to expect that
in such "booming" circurnetances our
merchants will not speculate. But we
trust that they will see to it that they
do not give away their profits, legiti-
mately earned. We hope, too, that they
will not relax, but rather draw tighter
the reins of credit; and not permit
themselves to be led, by the improving
prospect, into over-tratling or over-cred-
iting.—Trade Retriezu.
America -n Competition Abroad.
In the cars I met a very intelligent
gentleman, who resides at Antwerp, in
Belgium, returning home from a visit
with his wife &lad four children. Ger-
man, French, Italian, Spanish. and
tolerably good English were languages
familiar to him. Finding I was an
American, he opened a conversation.
He seemed quite as well acquainted
with many places and things in. the
United. States •as I am. He said,
"American competition is ruining all
the trade of the Continent as well as
the trade of England." He did not
say this at all complainingly, but simp-
ly stated the fact. He instanned certain
products of Belgium, giving woolen
goods as an example. He asked me
about prices in America, and, ou say-
ing that woolen cloth and clothing ap-
peared. cheaper in Europe than in the
United States, he said: "It was
formerly so, but, I think, not now."
He then said "The rnasaufaature of
woolens of all descriptions was once a
great business in Belgium, but yen
Americans are ruining us. nVe once
found in America our best market, and
you took all we could make. It is so
no longer. You not Only m ake all you
need. for yourselves, but you send. your
goods into Belgiuna and undersell us."
Similar views I find everywhere, and
the people are very frank in expressing
them. On asking them the outcome of
such a state of things, they are unable
to tell. Some very intelligent people
are despondent, and. this, without say-
ing it, seemed to be the mood of nay
Belgium friend. I asked him if such a
state of things would_ not induce a large
emigration from Belgium into the
United States. He replied: "It is only
men of skill and enterprise who can
succeed in your country. The common
laborer ancommon tradesman Can do
better in Europe, though now many are
out of employment."—Cincinnati Gat-itte
Concerning Bachelors.
The Conseil -General of the Depart-
ment of the Rhone has passed an ordin-
ance making the support of foundlings
and other children destitute of natural
providers a tax upon the salaries of
bachelor officials in the pay of the Gov-
ernment, thus putting the frown of the
State upon celibacy, which it correctly
declares to be source of many evils to
the coramonwealtla. France has, it
seems, practically tried the doctrines of
Malthus asadfound them wanting. The
classes which are by this Council
chiefly accused of the crime of bache-
lorhood are .military men, ecclesiastics
and trappists, and the upper classes
generally-, and these classes are aceused ;
of preying on the domestic felicity of t
society. This is not the first time that
this problem has been looked in the '
face by authority. The Emperor
Augustus, once returning to Rome at
the end of a war, had his attention
drawn to the fact that too many of the
young men of quality were uumarriecl- -
He inarnediately assembled the Eques. ,
triau Order, and, separating the mar-
ried from the single, he addressed the
latter with the remark that he could.
neither call them men, citizens, nor
Romans, for their lives were not man- !
ly, and the Roman name might perish
for them. He did not accuse them of
vicious lives, but told them that “their
course cif life was on such pernicious
consequence to the glory and grandeur
of the Roman nation that he could not
choose but tell them that all other !
crimes put together could not, equal
theirs; for they were minty of murder
in not suffering those to be born which
should proceed from them; of inapiety
in causing the name and honors of their
ancestors to cease, and of sacrilege- in
destroying their kind, which proceeded
from the immortal gods, and human
nature, the principal thing consecrated
to them. Therefore, in this respect,
they dissolved the Government in -'dis-
obeying its laws ; betrayed their 001111 -
•try by making it barreu and waste;
nay, and demolished their city in de-
priving it of inhabitants." Who can
deny these charges? A writer in the
Spectator— probably Steele — properly
hods that the slur which_ society is in
the habit of throwing on the name of
"old maid," should—be transferred to
that of bachelor, seeing that the bache-
lor is the more responsible for his con-
dition mad the less likely to sustain it
honorably. Indeed it is hard. to say
why the State should not take the
matter up and deal with it in the spirit
of the recent ordinance in the Depart-
ment of the Rhone. Especially in a
country like this, where we spend so
much on immigration agencies, should
the eminent service of breeding young
Canadians be recognized, and propor-
tionate burdens laid on those', who do
not assume it. It would be 'a mistake
to suppose that public enactment could
not very much alter things. The as-
tonishing productiveness of the French--
Canadian race, although doubtless now
sustained by the extreme frugality and
simplicity of their mode of living, en-
abling them to live where others would
starve, is doubtless due in its origin to
the paternal regulations of the early.
French governors, which granted a
bonus in aid of large families and placed
disabilities on the unmarried.—Mon-

- Liverpool letter to a gentleman
in Ottawa makes the suggestion, that
further exports of horses, sheep or cat-
tle being impracticable this fall, Cana-
dians should export geese and turkeys
about the middle of November, for in
December there will *be an active de-
mand for them, he thinks, for the
Christmas season.
—A Paris tradesman fearing that a
favorite Newfoundland dog was *ex-
hibiting eymptoms of rabies, hired two
boys to take him to the Seine, attach a
heavy stone to his neck, and throw him
to drown. In throwing the dog in one
of the boys fell into the river and twice
sank, when the dog having gob rid of
the stone, rescued the boy and carried
him safely to the shore. -
—There is a new cloth made by
Messrs. Puech, Germany, and is a
mixture of wool and "vegetable silk"
—the latter being manufactured from
certain plants found in the Argentine
Republic and Louisiana. The wool is
mixed with this silk, but must be pre-
pared in every respect as for spinning.
The cloth has such a silvery and silky
appearance that it is quite different
from any other stuff. Very fine felts
can, also be made. The best proportion
for cloths is 80 per cent. wool and 20
per cent. silk.
—Chicago has a phenomenally tough
policeman. He was shot at by a burg-
lar the other day, and the ball passed
through his hat and struck him .square
on the forehead. The ball flattened.' on
the bone aud caused the officer to reel a
little, but he straightened up and picked
the ball out of the flesh, where it had
imbedded itself. The officer went to
the station and reported the affair, and
then had his wound dressed: The next
day he had a headache, but has since re-
covered, He was also shot in the
head in the army, but the ball made so
little impression upon him that he
picked it out himself.
—A number of !prominent mining
capitalints'from the United. States have
been making a tour of inspection among
the iron mines in Madoc. We under-
stand they speak very highly of the
quality of the ore, and that Mr. Coe has
received au offer to ship 100 tons of red
hematite per day. This gentleman has
been shipping considerable quantities
of this article lately. Mr. Pusey has at
present about sixty men employed at
the Seymour, mine, the work being
prosecuted night and day. An average
of seven car loads of ore are taken out
'daily. Another gang of practical Eng-
lish miners arrived a couple of weeks
ago, who pronounce the iron ore of the
Madoc mines the richest they ever
tested. This speaks well for mining
operations in the Madoc district in the
future.1
I —An extraordivaay scene has been
I witnessed at the ineetirig of the Presby-
teriau General Assembly in Belfast,
Ireland, where the ministers and. elders
presentnumbering nearly 400, and a
la-rge audience besides, continued sit-
ting out all night a debate on the intro-
duction of hymns until a quarter past
three a. m. The discussion on the
question of an authorized sanction for
hymns was thronghout earnest and of-
ten excited, and finally, on an amend-
ment declaring "the only psalmody of
of the Assembly to be the version of the
Psalms of David now in use," the vot-
ing was, for the amendment 225, against
it 157, aud. the announcement of the
numbers was received by the anti -
hymnist with cheers. "They rose to
their feet and cheered for several rain-
utes."
—A little time ago a young man died
in Philadelphia who was popularly
known from his swiftuess of running,,
as "Deer." His story was a singular
one. A few years since he was a rag-
ged. sbrewd, lad, peddling newspapers
about the railroad. depots. One day he
happened to be on the line of the Penn-
sylvania Railroad, when he saw an en-
gine rushing down the track without
any driver or tender. By some chance
it had been separated from the cars and.
was driving on alone. The boy knew
it would meet an express train this side
of the next station. He had about four
minutes' start and darted down the
track _after it. The engine was, of
course, at full speed, yet nobody but
Deer coal have wen such a race. He

The Christmas. Trade. .
Great preparation, says the Boston
Journal, are being made by the import-
ers and dealers in fancy goods for the
holiday trade this year. One _house has
imported ,500 case" this season, from
Germany rincipally. Such articles as
dolls, chin ware, pipes, some toys, &c.,
are imported and the- bayers of Boston
'importers go to Europe for their pur-
chases. Their trade extends all over the
West, even to San Francisco, and one
house is nqw sending out 55 cases a day.
The volume of this business has greatly
increased of late years; formed; there
Was but lititle trade a Christmas, and it
was done i principally at New Year's,
but that has all. completely changed,
and now Christshas is the season. The
study has neen to produce as much as
possible for one dollar ; " large sales and
smallprofits " is the plan of operations,
and to this might be added "quick -re-
turns." The business embraces a thou-
sand and one articles, such as jewelry
and plated ware, shell goods, toy goods
in endless variety, tobacco articles,
glassware, clocks, basket ware, wallets,
bags, musical instruments, ink stands,
boxes of paints, tool chests, writing pa-
per, picture • books, albums, combs,
brushes, &p. Everything is distributed
at low figures, and, while the trade is
of course continuous for the year round.
Christmas is a harvest in itself, and
this year preparations are being made
for an especially large trade, which we
do not believe they will be at all disap-
pointed im Dealers everywhere are
stocking up for the holiday much earl-
ier than usual, and at the present time
distributio is most active.
