MARKET.
The raPictly growing importance of
Cauadaas a factor itt. the wotld's
business is nowhere more marked than
a in connection With dairying, The 'ex-
ports of butter from Montreal this
peason are about' three million'Pounda
itt excess of the exPotts for the like
period last year.: Our • clietiae deports
this season are some eighteen ,and one
half -million pounds greater than for •
the like •period last year.
But despite .this enorrnoua increase
in our output the consumptive market
in Great Brateinle not glutted ; on -
the coetrary the price of our cheese
there today is just a little higher
than it was this,ti'me' twelve months
ago. The cause of •this keen demand
in lititain, in the Seat of enlarged pup -
plies from Canada, is found in part in
decreased production in Great Britain;
part is found also in the falling off
in the surplus available for export
train the United Status. The cheese
exports of the United States, small
as they were • before in comparison
with those of Canada, shoe; a. decline
of nearly one third this season as
compared with last. In feet, the pre.
diction is made that the United States
instead of being an exporting nation
in the matter of cheese will very soon
be ati importing one. Thus, if Canad-
ian dairymen keep on improving in
their product, Canada will not oaly
furbish all the butter and cheese ex-
ported from North America to Europe
but will secure as well a considerable
inarket even on our own continent,

A. despaten trom Ottawa ahttouttces:
that Arthur S. Brunet, who was sen-
tenced. last June to SIX months im-
prasottinent for ballot frauds' -bribery
and iticiting perponation, hag been
released by order of the Minister of
Justfce. after serving about two and
one hell hiblitbs• of : his term, When
Brunet was sehteticed we• expresaed
satisfaction that at least oue ballot
stutter had been sent to jail although
the sentence was leas Severe than it
should have been Yet, light as the
se:notice was, the Minister of Justice,
yielding to private and political pres,
sure, has shortened it by more than
ono half.
We deeply regret the action of Mr.
Fitzpatrick in setting. triinet at liber-
ty. He had been convitted ,of one of
the worst and most dangerous of
crimes and the diereise of exetutive
clemency in his ta;se cannot fail to
have a bad eilett. How •are we going
to stamp out ballot stuffing when pl-
itital partizanship opens the jail door
to the offender ? The release of Brink,.
et is a blow at' the purity of 01404
