A prominent merchant, who has the beet of opportunity for knowing what is going on in the country, informs The Lon- don Advertiser that the exportation of cheese, batter, eggs, and bacon from Can- ada to Britain will this year be the great- est in the history of the Dominion. More than. 1,000 hands have started to work in W. C. McDonald's tobacco factory at Montreal. Ilia was one of the estabieh- ments that shut down when the tobacco duties were advanced. One by one the factories resume, now that conditions are settled, and business promises to be brisk. Construction on the Crow's Neat Pass Railway will begin at McLeod on July 15. It is understood that no United States oon- traotore or laborers will be employed. This is an outcome of the harsh applicat- ion of 'the alien labor law by the United States authorities that might have been expected. Robinson and Clark, two men confined in Simooe County Jail at Barrie on charges of burglary, made a desperate attempt to escape by attacking Jailer Sissons and Turnkey Caldwell with the legs of a large stool which they had broken up for the purpose. Iu the struggle which took plane Turnkey Caldwell shot Robinson in the leg. The 7 -year old son of Deputy Reeve' Brown, of Con.'2, Westminster, had his jaw broken in a peculiar manner Friday afternoon. He was driving a hayfork when the whiftletree broke, the end springing bank and hitting shim in the faoc. The little fellow was rendered insensible by the blow and for a time was thought to be • fatally hurt. An Indian named Tigeroat, in Florida, eloped with a chief's wife the other day, The entire tribe pursued him and oaptur he couple. They were tried by council, and sentenced to be eaten by alligators. The two were bound to stakes near the water's edge. , Q dog was tied between them to attract then attention of alligators, For an entire day they were exposed to the sun. In the etening a number of the aauriane emerged from the water and de- voured the dog They then literally pulled the man and woman to pieces. Their shrieks of agony were frightful. The harvest is now in fall sweep in Kansas, and a peoaliar condition of affairs hae•been revealed. tDespite the faot that a large number of persona are out of work in various porta of the states, it has been found next to impossible to get help to save the wheat Drop of Kansas. In some parts the wages have already gone up $4 and $5 a day, and in some of the counties girls and woman are working at 02 to $3 a day. The humorous side of the affair is furnished by brakeman, who sell tramps to the farmers at 01 apiece. It is said the railrcad men keep the tramps looked up its box oars until the farmers pay the money. The professional tramp may be expooted to give Kansas a wide berth for some time t0 oomo.

Shipments of eggs continue togo forward to Great.Britain. Prices however, are rath- er low on the other side, although they have recently shown some improvment. Following are the imports of wheat into Liverpool during the past week: From At- lantic ports, 28,400 quarters: from Pacific points, none; from other ports, 6,000 quart - ere. From Atlantic ports 50,000 quarters. Reports from the fruit -growing district around Chatham state that the orchards and small fruit farms have suffered sever- ely from the intense heat of the last few days and in some cases the crops are liter- ally ruined. The Pall Mall Gazette, London, says that, owing to the drought in pertain parts of Australia, it will be necessary to im- port thousands of tone of Californian wheat. The colonies affected by the drought are New South Wales and South Australia. According to repent gables from London, the number of cattle arriving in that pity at the beginning of the week was so large that the lairages in world's great metrop- olis were not sufficient to afford them full acommodation, and as the beasts bad to be slaughtered, prices were knocked down, as well as the bullocks the former declin- ing td to ld per lb., which was a drop of $10 to $24 per head. The Montreal Trade Bulletin, July 9th says: -The exports ---of cheese from this port continue large, the total quantity for the present season up to the close of last week being 439,015 boxes, against 353,137 boxes for the corresponding period last year. The value of this season's shipments aggregates about $2,200,000 against $1,765,- 000 a year ago, and leading men in the trade anticipate a continuance of large shipments from now until the close of the season. Prof. Robertson went to England on the Labrador with the first consignment ander the new cold storage system. The prinicipal feature of the, shipment was 100 quarters of Canadian dressed beef, which are to be put upon the British market as an experiment. This is the first attempt on this scale to place Canadian dressed beef before the British consumers. A cable message has been received from Prof. Rob- ertson who is at Liverpool, stating that the beef arrived in England in prime con- dition, and that every thing points to the successful issue of the experiment. The opinion of the department bore is that the beef would improve rather than deterior- ate in tbo course of transit. A special corn • partment was made for the beef in the ves- sel, which was under the constant inspeo- tion of the departmental expert. If the experiment proves• as much a saccus fi- nancially as it has otherwise the moat im• portant results may be expected to the trade of Canada.
