experiments were carried on, and the unan-
imone opinion -of the Montreal Cheese
Board was that cheese so oared was words
half a cent per pound more than cheese
from the very same vat cured under ordin-
ary circumstances. In addition, the shrink-
age in weight of the cheese in the cooler
room is much lees. On the basis of last

method would, be about $900,000, or to a
small factory it would represent an annual
increase of $40.00, after the initial expense
of $250. The .general adoption of the new
system in Canada will certainly work a rev-
elution in this important industry,

who has just returned 'from Parry Sound,
says that the mills in thatalistrict are work-
ing night and day, Mott of the mills are
having three shifts, to try and get through ,.
their work. So far the mills have only been
cutting timber to fill the American orders,
and have yet to cut the Canadian -supply.
According to this gentleman, the law put :in
force by the Government, compelling the
manufacturing in the province, has been a
great boon to the northern people and has
put Parry Sound district on the boom.

--The steamer Amur renehed Victoria,
British Columbia, Sunday afternoon, bring-
ing the largest number of rich Klondikera

rived from the north this year. There is tet
least ;a rn'lion in gold dust, and on board

general op ::ion of these men, who were ac-
tually engaged in mining, is that the output
for the year will be twenty-five millions.
This large output is accounted for by the
fact that just as much gold is now taken
out in summer as winter.

hundred pounds in - all grades of refined .
sugars. .Housewives throughout the coun-

hundredweight, and yellows 65 cents per
hundredweight. The principal cause was
the settlement, some 'weeks ago, ; of the •
eugar war in the States, but there has been
for some time a very firm tone in the raw
sugar market, and that, together with the
enormous output of the refineries, has had a
helping hand,
