The New 'York Sun sap :—There
•Iltaa been a beg boom in the egg ex-
,vort business from New Bruniwick,
rrince Edward Island, and Nova
-Scotia, to the United States this
year. Prince • Edward Island has
shipped to Bosfron over 640,000
Aozena by one steamship lino alone,
which is greatly in excess of th,,s, to-
-tal shipments last ye3r, and has also
msent immense quantities by other
steamship routes and by rail to the
:United States. The Dominion as a
-whole sends us very large qautities
-of eggs, but the McKinley bill has
nicted against the industry aotnew hat,
And heavy shipments have been
-otdo, to England from Ontario and
,Quebee. For some reason prices
'have run very high lately, and
'Prince E lward Island egg raisers
ilaVe been making money.
"NOURISHING A VIPER."
A lady who was recently a guest
-4•at Hatfield House, the residence in
Hertforshire of the Primo Minister
+has made public the following :—
••"The last time I was staying at
Hatfield Howe I was struck by the
face of. the wan who was employed
in the capacity of major dorno of
,the establishment. While try'ng to
xemember where and when I had
seen hint I looked at the man rather
frequently. He noticed me observ-
ing him and seemed somewhat dis-
concerted. Suddenly I remembered
where we had met before and lie in-
stantly saw the recognition on my
countenance. It was in tho Vati-
-can, over a part of which place
svhile on a visit he had conducted
the garbed in the robes of an Italian
eeriest. When I had discovered the
-identity of my former guide I at
once resolved to tell the facts to
Lord Salisbury at the first oppor-
astunity next morning, but found up-
on arising the following day that
'my quondam friend .had decamped
.sluring the night, taking all his be.
longings with him. The Marquis
appeared to be very much put out
-by the intelligence which I imparted
'to him. The conclusion arrived at
.by the other members of the
rafter everything had been consider-
eed, was that the missing major
admix) was a Jesuit agent and that
he bad insinuated himself into the
--.Prietetier's family for the purpose of
-discovering secret information for
'elle Vatican."

— Mr. Joseph Chamberlain in a
speech at Birmingham, referred to
the widening gulf separating the
dissidents from the Gladstonians.
He said he mice hoped for' a speedy
reunion, but now he neither looked
for it nor desired a reunion. What-
ever 'vicissitudes protracted the
struggle, the Unionists would
march shoulder to shoulder with the
Conservatives until they :loftily de-
feated the conspiracy against the in
tegrity of the empire. He predicts
ed that England's foreign relations
would be seriously menaced if Mr.
Gladstone again came into power.
—The. Unionists of Birmingham,
gave a luncheon in honor of Lord
Salisbury. In a speech Lord Saliss
bury said that on all sides there aps
peered constantly iucreasing protec-
tive duties, which were calculated
to stifle British trade. The protecs
tion heresy on which the tariffs were
founded grow, like other evil pas -
slops, upon what it fed on. Watch-
ing English statistics, he could
but feel anxiety lest the efforts of
the foreign protectionists should he
partially successful. The errors of
foreign statesmen might be translat-
ed to Great Britain. Undoubtedly
British trade was being'hindered for
the moment by foreign legislation.
ONTARIO CROPS.
The report of the Bureau of Indus-
try, issued recently, shows the yield
of grains in Ontario this year is ex-
traordinarily large, as was generally
supposed to be the case; fall wheat
averages from 25 to 30 bushels per
acre in many sections and weighs
from 60 to 65 pounds per bushel.
Spring wheat, and oats are also far
above the average. The total yield of
grains and hoots is estimated thus :
—Fall wheat, 21,872,488 bushels
spring wheat, 10,711,538 bushele ;
barley, 16,141,904 bushels; oats, 75,-
009,542 bushels; rye, 1,184,030 bush-
els; corn (in the ear) $8,289,659
bushels; peas, 18,288,658 bushels;
buckwheat, 2,608,141 bushels; beans,
769,600 bushels; potatoes, 24,055,866
bushels; mangel wurtzel, 11,779,448
bushels; carrots, 3,814,016 bushels;
turnips, 68,763,452 bushels; hay and
clover, 2,392,798 tons. The crops of
wheat, spring and fall, is estimated
at 32,584,026 bushels—nearly half as
much again as the crops of 1890.
'rhe oat crop exceeds the light ono of
last year by more than 22,030,000
bushels, while the average per acre
is the highest in ten years. The root
crops are enormous, but the potatoes
are much damaged by rot. The
acreage of barley sown is 148,200
acres lees than last year, yet the crop
is 541,737 bushels larger, owing to
the great yield of 292 bushels per
acre. The acreage sown in fall wheat
this fall is 15 per cent, greater than
sown in she fall of 1890, but the
prospects of yield are hardly as good
as they were last year. There is an
increase hi tne numbers of nearly all
kinds ofliAo stock in possession of
e.a.rteejallY .1nt -sheep.. and.
Iambs.
