-The loss incurred to the close
of last week in the anthracite min-
ers' strike in Pennsylvania is esti-
mated at fifty-six million dollars.

-Great Britain has well main-
tained her lead over her two most
probable adversaries, and now has
29 first-class battleships ready for
action, against 17 for France and
Russia combined.

-The war in South Africa cost
1,140
million dollars, that is three
times the cost of the Crimean war.
This enormous expenditure has not
impaired the credit of the British
nation in the least.

-Marconi declares he has com-
pletely solved the problem of send-
ing wireless messages over a dis-
tance of more than 1,500 miles, and
that he is confident that communi-

ture.

-The average wheat crop of the
United States has usually been put
at 450 million bushels. It is evi-
dently increasing, for the 1000 crop
reached 522 million bushels, and
that of 1901, 750 million bushels ;
this year's crop will probably equal
last year's. The increase is attrib-
uted to improved farming methods,

eefuspection of the North Grey
eleeeaeue paperp on. behalf of the Con-
servative petitioners wallet the re-
turn of A. G. McKay will be held
probably this week. It was there
that certain suspicious marks were
found on ballots, indicating an at-
tempt to steal the election for af c -
Kay. A similar inspection of the
East Middlesex case will be held at
an early date.
-What is said to be the largest
and heaviest anchor ever made was
recently forged at the Charlestown,
Mass,, Navy Yard. It weighs over
sighs tons and cost nearly $2,000,
It is 15 feet Over all and 0 feet
6 inches wide over titu :cents.. The
palms are 32 inches wide. III; ; a"
bin for this anchor is unique also,
as regards weight, each link weigh-

--Hon. Charles A. Towne, for-
mer Senator for the State of Min-
nesota, also president of the Stand-
ard Carbotile Lightning Company,
accompanied by a party of business
men belonging to his company, was
in Toronto last week. To a re-
porter Mr. Towne said that the
partizan criticism to which tr-usts,
were subjected was due to a mis-
conception. If trusts were econo-
mical and saved waste they were
like labor-saving machinery, which
employed less men but cheapened
the cost of production for all. If,
on the other hand, the trust adopt-
ed the monopolistic principle and
appropriated the earnings gained
by the application of the trust
ideas, then it was injurious. Mr.
Towne stated that the question of
Government ownership was loom-
ing large in the United States.

-While the gross earnings of
the two great Canadian railway
systems continuo to expand, so also
do the working expeusee, and some -
disappointment is eXspressed at the
working stlitements in both the Ca-
nadian Pacific and Grand `rank;
But still, with the prospect of f nr-
ther considerable gains in gross
earnings ()Wing to the larger esti-
12ates of the grain crops through-
out Cal; ,da, the view taken of the
future is clzeorlur• In the Case of
the Grand Trunk the eeTeeses are
certainly heavier than in July lag
year, when out of a gain of gross
earnings of 438,600, L14,400 was
retained as net, while now, with
445,800 gross, only £16,400 is flet;
but the Canadian Pada° return is
decidedly less satisfactory, p,a out
of a gross gain of $396,000 the net
profit is only $80,000, whereas a
year ago out of an increase in gross
earnings of $880,000 there was a
net gain Of no less than $211,000.
THE WING -HAM. ADVANCE,
---Dering eleven months, ending
June 1, 1002. six hundred and sixty
eight libraries in the United States
received gifts of money amounting
to $0,077,708.54. Of this, $7,521,-
050,63 Was for new buildings, Mr.
Carnegie made two hundred and
three gifts, aggregating $5,500,000,
besides giving $491,600 to Canada,
and other sums to Newfoundland,
Cuba and Great Britain,
•---A recent writer 'estimates the
number of children under fourteen
years of age at work in the cotton
mills of North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
at 22,000, Eight or ten thousand
of these children are believed to be
under twelve, while the fact is well
established that many children of
nine, eight, and even six years of
age are at work in Southern mills..

-The Toronto World remarks -
The Globe is in a disturbed state of
mind these clays. It has confessed
now that Mr. Ross is unable to car-
ry on the government of the prov-
ince, and that something must be
done. It is blowing hot and cold
on the question_ of protection, and
at the same time emphasizes the',
fact that a most serious discrepancy
of view on the tariff policy exists
among the members of the Laurier
cabinet. In other words, the Globe
admits that there is trouble in both
camps, at Ottawa and at Toronto.
It looks as if the Conservatives
were to be in power in the province
in a few weeks, and that Sir Wil-
fred has no ground for counting on
the possession of power at Ottawa
for very many months.

-At a meeting of the new organ-
ization, the Farmers' Association,
held last week in Toronto, a com-
mittee was appointed to confer with
a committee from the Dominion
Grange with a view that both or-
ganizations may work in harmony.
Resolutions were .passed condemn-
ing the bonus and bounty system ;
declaring that the property of cor-
porations should he. assessed on the
same basis as private property ;
stating that the question of trans-
portation was of paramount impor-
tance, and advocating a commission
to fix rates from which there could
be an appeal to the court ; endors-
ing the Cowan drainage bill and the
Lancaster cattle guard bill, and pro-
testing against an increase of the ta-
riff. A meeting of the organization
will be held annually.

-An article In the London Times
on "Colonial Dairy Produce" notes
the fact that, during the past year,
Great Britain's butter importations
from the ,colonies were -Australia,
153,378 cwt. ; New Zealand, 146,
137 cwt. ; and Canada, 130,870 cwt.
Australian butter sold for an aver-
age of 109s. 6d. per cwt., while the
Galn,clian butter only averaged 104s.
10d. The Loudon Times points
out that Canadian butter 1pses in
value because it is improperly pack-
ed, and carried on steamers the
temperature of which is too high.
flu Australian .colonies, it le seen,
have conquered the difficulty of
transporting butter long distances,
while ianada is far behind, This
is interesting in view of the fact
that Hon. Sydney Fisher has been
booming himself as the groat friend
of the, Cauadieet i eiryman. Cana-

-In these days of combines, i
is sometimes alarming to conside
how much of this world's commere
and industry can really be con
trolled by one individual. Per
haps no one man is more powerfu
in the commercial world to -day
than J. P. Morgan. Recently a.
humorous piece of poetry appeared
which described, all the industries
of sea and land ; each verse of the
poetry ended with the line "It's
Morgan's." After all it was not so
much over -drawn, for according to
a recent statement in a leading fi-
nancial journal, J. P. Morgan
(either by control, membership on
Boards of control, financing them,
or acting as their agents) has an
interest in companies with the fol-
lowing capitalization ; -- Ships -

peror, ling or Prince, There is
something here to think about; to
those )vh.o really see what it Means,
there is something startling in the
thought, that one man's act or vote
can afffeet the disposal of millions
of dollars now utilized in the in-
dustrial world.
