Dispensing Chemist, Clinton Our Ottawa Letter (Special correspondence of the NEW ERA) Ottawa, July 25. -An amusing instance of the folly of speaking too hastily occurs in the editorial columns of yesterday's Mall and Empire, where note is made of a cable in the Loudon Titnee from Australia, referring to "Mr Henniker Heaton's I n• perial penny postage sohem.s," the paper adding by way of comment, "By those who know, it is nowhere called 111r Mu - look's scheme." In a cable dispatch published the same day appears the report ofa meeting at Westminster of the members of the British House of Ccmmona at which Sir Charl• s Dilke moved a vote of congratulation to Canada and South Africa on the euooess of their representatives at the Postal Con- ference. Mr Heaton himself, in seconding the motion, said that "the aunounoement in the pavers of the 13th ins[, that Mr Mulock's motion had been carried by the Conference, had endeared Canada to the people of Greet Britain, and that, but for Canada's resolute action, the movement for Imperial penny postage would have remained unsuccessful for years. He said that Mr Mulock had proved himself the Rowland Hill of the day." Will the edi- torial writer of the Mail and Empire kind• ly rewrite his acoount and bring it up to date? THE MOON,S INFLUENCE Upon.tbe weather is accepted by some as real, by others it is disputed. The moon never attracts corns from the tender aching spot. Putnam's Paihleee Corn Extractor removes thenost painful corns in three days.

Eli Scratch, of Kingsville, one of tl e largest fruit. growers in Western On - tat to, had 800 peach trees blown down by a cyclone. The buckwheat crop in Prince Edward Island is a failure owing to the droath. Farmers have ploughed under the stunted growth and re -sown the fields, in the hope that the rain will fall and give them a crop.

THE BUSINESS OUTLooA Whether we study theofiioial trade re- turns, the hank statements, the reports of commercial agencies or the accounts of travellers and representative men all over the oountry, the story is the same -pro- gress, prosperity, unparalelled growth of trade and unequalled prospects for the fu. ture. The completed returns for the Fed- eral fiscal y-ar ending June 30, shows au increase in exports of nearly $255,000,000 over 1807, and in imports of over $19,000,- 000, makint; a tote trade increase of over $44,000,000, or with the increase of the previoue year, more than $50,000,00 of an advance on 146. 'fine bank statements for June show the biggest note cirenlation ever recorded for that month of the year, The bank clearings increased by millions weekly over the corresponding weeks of the previous years, and it is (ratifying to no- tice in addition that this increase is record• ed at all the leading centres of trade throughout the Dominion, showing that the good times are general and not partial. The commercial agenciea' reports give a smaller per tentage of failures and a larger proportion of assets compared with li;'.il- ities than ever before. It is true some rumors of a shortage in the wheat crop in the west have gained currency within the past few days, but so far they lank corrob- oration, and in any event are only likely to prove local, while the largely incree- d acreage under wheat cultivation will far more than make np the difference, and the grading is exceptionally high. The hay orop has been enormous and fruit so far has turned out well, though in soma lines of tree fruit not yet ready for harvest, only an average crop is looked for. In trade wholesalers and retailers alike report jubilantly of the present rush and the future outlook, and to crown it all the influx of new citizens, solid, stalwart sett- lers that will be a credit to the oountry,and continue to make Canada a credit to the Empire, have been ocming, in greater and increasing volume. Thus we see the ful- filment of the prophesy of two years ago that -'Grit Domination" meant inevitable ruin. Wanted, a ,i isI kdhePel servant. Apply be - [ween the hoto urs JN HOUp.

Prime beeves gold at from 410 to 4;jc per Ib; pretty good ani- mals brought from Sia to 4t_c and the com- mon stock from 2}e to 3t0 per ib. There were no inferior beasts on the market to- day.

A good lot of bogs just conte off the oars were sold at the C.P.R. yards at 50 per Ib A MUCH MALIGNED PEOPLE In this same connection -the matter of imigration-a word may be added respect- ing the much maligned Galioiane who have been described in some sections of the press by every opprobrious term that can suggest itselfs and who, it might be en posed, were the only people coining in this season. Of the 16,451 imigrants that had registered in Winnipeg up to May 30, only 2307 were Galioiane, while 2020 came from acreme the line and 2364 from Great Britain and Ireland. The- proportion in 1897 of those taking up homesteads was nearly equal, namely:-Galioiane 358 fat• ilies, 336 English and 164 from the United States. Reports, official and unofficial, give the lie, entirely to the wild misstate- ments that have been so persistent of the lawlessness and thriftlessness of those people; for those that have been in the country only one season are shcwn to have settled down to make excellent citizens by building themselves good houses, stocking their farms with cattle, horses and imple- ments, and in every respect planing them- selves on a parity with their neighbors.

Household furniture of D Robb at residence Rattenbury St, Saturday, Aug 6,'D Dickinson anot THEY ADE NOT BONGSED One persistent misstatement that should be noticed is that the Government is pay- ing $5 a head as a bonus to these people to indnoe them to come to Canada. Stich ie not the case and never has been. • The agents of steamship oompanies in Europe have for the past twenty years been receiv- ing a bonne, but neither the steamship companies nor the emigrants have been benefited thereby, and for sometime past even this has been stopped and now the oountry is paying nothing towards bringing these people to Canada. On the other band they bring bard Dash with them, every party so far having had an aggregate amount with them amounting from ten to twenty-five, thirty and even forty thousand dollars. That does not appear to indicate such utter and abject poverty. NOTES The pre-election promise of the Govern- ment that the St. Lawrence canals would be deepened without delay and the whole work compteted in time for the opening of navigation in 1899 will be fulfilled.
