In the accompanying article on the buSilielei outlook it evil'. be observed that
President blawing, of the Farmers' Association,. bases his pessimietie forecast
on the hypothesis that the crops are it third less in Volume than they were last
year, and that they aro, therefore, worth a third iess in money to the protlucer.
The coneumer of farm products knows that this is not the ettbe, and that in
very many eases the farmer will lie as well off with the smaller crop as with the
larger. Here are the highest prices quoted for seine of the chief products of the

and the entire fire brigade to keep th
mob from burning up the Chinese and

were miede after a strenuous time be-
tween the mob aud the officers who took
the men.
Last night the e9.siatic Exclusion
League held a parade and a meeting, but
this was altogether apart from the riot,
which followed, neither did. the princi-
pals hint at or suggest anything of gee
kind, but, on the contrary, counselled
moderation in any action that might
be taken to secure legislation to exclude
the Orientals and keep this a white
man's country.
At the last session of the Legislature
Lieut. -Governor Dunsmuir vetoed the
bill introduced by the present Attorney-
Cleueral to enforce .the Natal Act in
British Columbia.
In commemoration of this last night
Mr. Dunsmuir was burned in effigy at
the conclusion of the parade. • At the
meeting a resolution was passed to ask
the Dominion Government to allow this
bill to become law, and another resolu-
tion was also passed asking Premier Mc-
Bride to explain certain indefinite
charges made against him by a Liberal
paper, to the effect that he as a party
to the disallowance of this bill by an ar-
rangement with Ottawa. It was after
that that the mob stormed Chinatown,
deliberately smashing windows in all the
stores. Street orators gathered crowds
who even swarmed up telegraph poks.
Lines of police stretched across the
street had all they could do to keep the
mob from again entering the Chinese
parters. As there had been threats of
burning, the fire brigade was ready with
hose to use this method if necessary to
keep the white -men back. While the
speaking was- going on the music of
breaking glass was acclaimed with joyful
yells by hoodlums.
Then the mob broke loose on Howell
street a few blocks away in another
direction, where the Japanese reside.
Here windows were broken also, but the
Japanese, with bottles and boards, at-
tacked their assailants. Several people
were injured in the counter-attacks.
At the C. P. R. wharves a dozen Japs
were thrown into the water, but were
rescued. Three white men were stabbed
by japs, and two others cut with broken
bottles. A newspaper man going home
was held up by a Jap, and when the
latter was taken to the police station
it search revealed it murderous -looking
knife. night bands of armed Jape
walked the streets, keyed to a. high
pitch by the excitement and bent on
revenge. They were restrained, how-
ever.
It was a coincidence that Mr. Ishii,
the Imperial envoy of the Japanese Gov -
element, sent to investigate the whole
question of immigration, arrived last,
night on• his mission. His Worship tht
Mayor expressed keen regret that such
a riot should have taken place, and the
morning paper, the News -Advertiser, edi-
torially points out that this occurrence
will do more harm to the cause of ex-
clusion than anything else. No one but
thinks those who took part were the
odds and ends of the crowd, but in a city
of 70,000 these would be a very large
number.
The Chinese and Japanese met to-
night to discuss measures for self-protee-
Hon. Much disquiet is felt in the city
regarding the arrival of the teamer
Monteagle here on Wednesday with
Orientals on board. It is freely stated
in labor circles that not one will be al-
lowed to land, even if force is neces-
sary to prevent landing.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
T. The Lord provides. It wee not abso-
lute want that caused the Israelites to
murmur at this time, but distrust for
the future. HOw 8000 men forget God's
'deliverances, and repine in anticipation
of evil to come. Great was their blind-
ness that they could not perceive that
it was the Lord and not His servants
who had saved them from Egyptian ene-
mies and the moat menial salvery. They
were withoue faith in God se it deliver-
er, hence could not trust him as a pre-
server. Could not Ho who had opened it
passage through the Tted Seek `Mein
bread from heuven?" This He really did,
"and Meese said unto them, Hilt; is the
bread which the Lord has given you to
eat." Forty years this miraculous sup.
ply of food eontinned daily. So the Lord
ever gives His people their "daily broad."
IT. The duties we owe. The "Lord thy
God" is the supreme lawgiver. He is self -
existent, independent, and eternal; the
cource of all being and power. The ern.
ture has no obligations equal to those,
he owes to his Creator. Other obligations
are secondary in character and grow out
of the relationship we sustain to each
other. The command to glorify God in
our bodies and *spirits, derives it force
from the stated feet that they belong
to Him. The dutiea we owe to God are of
a moral diameter, and cannot be aeeept-
ably performed in it mechanical way. Ile
will not be worshipped by men's handy
as though He had need of anything; nei-
ther are men heard for their "mush
speaking" when they pray. If we poseese
that spirit of entire submission whieh
reeognizes the faspreme tight of onr
Creator to worship and obedienee. it will
,vault in the devotion of the whole heart
and life to His service. We have &Hex
to our fellow -mon that spring from our
relation to God as onr tommon Faber.
There are duties we are under obligation
to perform to each other, that arise from
our 'Wel relations, and would exiet if
eintill suppose men had to Creator.

It will be observed that the increase in the price of oats, the crop that shows
poorest results, is over 39 per cent. This will go far to make up for the short-
age in the crop to those who sell the oats. In the ease of the farmers -the
vastly greater uumber-who use oats for feed the increase in the selling price of
live stock that is almost inevitable will go far to compensate. The late grass
and root crop may yet do much to save the feed. situation as a result of recent,
heavy rains. The farmer of °dark, is many milestones this side of ruin.

BRADSTREET% TRADE REVIEW.
Montreal -The tone of business here con-
tinues satisfactorily in all lines. The whole-
sale movement is good and manufacturers
are as busy as ever. Retail trade Is naturally
a little slow, although not more so than is
usuo.i at this time of the year. Harvesting
operations are interfering with country trade.
Collectiona are not coming forward well, but
this is now almost to oe expected and im-
provement is looked for as the crops are
marketed. There ie aow little apprehension
regarding the continued firmness In the
money market. Shipments of drygoods con-
tinue very heavy and even now excellent
orders for fall and winter lines continue to
come in. Values in all textiles are exceed-
'ingly firm and the mills have large orders
on hand. A heavy millinery trade Is now
being done. Grooeries are moving well. Prices
are generally steady to firm. Hardware lines
are moving briskly. Prices of menus are
steady despite an easier tone to foreign
markets: and the demand holds active.
Toronto -Trade here has been considerably
affected by the annual Exposition which has
brought largo numbers of country merchants
and visitors to town and in a11 lines ot whole-
sale trado there has been considerable order-
ing. The retail trade here has also reaped
considerable benefit. All branches of trade
report a continued excellent outlook for fu-
ture business. The drygeode trade continues
brisk, me fall Millinery business had been
the,heavlest in years. Orders have been large
and generally for an excellent class of goods.
A good trade Is moving in groceries. Canned
goods continue very item and in active de-
mand. Tapioca Is very searee. A good trade
is moving In hardware. Metals are active
and generally eteady. Country trade has a
quiet tone but collections are generally fair.
Recelpts„ot produce are light and prices hold
"ntNytinnipeg-Harvesting operations are now
la tun awing and it is !possible to pretty
well say how crop results are going to be.
Generally soaking the yield is lighor than
that of last year. Business inert look toward
the future with eonfidence and general WhOle-
sale orderb &MGM expectations of 12 good
season's business. In tome distriets the late-
ness of the crop has caused some !NW of
frost, but harvesting may be completed before
th14 happens. The drygoods trade is brisk
and heavy shipments of groorles are being
made. Velum are firm. Collections itte still
on the tiloW side.

alarm by some and derision by many.
Here is the remarkable statement
that has caused searening of barns, pas-
tures, grain bins, and pocketbooks in
rural Ontario for the past three days:
"1 regret very much that, owing to
the extraordinary season which we have
experienced, the results of the year's
operations are likely to prove disap-
pointing to the farmers of Ontario.
From the best information available
there is no doubt that the hay, grain,
and root crops in Ontario for 1907 will
be at least one-third less than the aver-
age crop for the last eight or ten years.
This will mean loss beef, bacon, mut-
ton, cheese and butter. It is also a
matter of grave concern in many dis-
tricts how the necessary food is to be
provided for the farm stock during the
coming fall and winter months. There
is no doubt that lane numbers will
have to be sacrificed, to a large extent,
to meet the requirements of the situa-
tion.
tliities that the value of the products
has been estimated by good au -
of Ontario farms for the year 1906
reached the enormous total of $250,000,-
000. If this estimate is a correct one,
the partial failure of the crops 00 1907
will mean a difference of over $87,000,
000 to the Ontario farmers; they will
have that much less to compensate them
for their toil, and they will have that
much less to expend for the neees,sities
and comforts of life for themselves and
their families."
and one-half tons last year.
Proceeding, Mr. Watts dealt with an
important point. He said: "'rim num-
ber of acres under crop is not obtain-
able at the present time, and, there-
fore, no estimate can be made of the
gross yield. Taking into consideration,
however, the enhanced value of the dif-
ferent products mentioned, it is doubt-
ful if the gross value will be'mach less
than that of last year.
"As butter, milk and cheese are all
higher in price -judging by the prices
we pay in the city -and also the prices
of -meats of all kinds is higher, it is
very difficult to see how Mr. MeEwing
arrived at his estimate of a shortage
of $80,000,000. It is unfortunate that
reports of that kind should be given
prominence if they are incorrect. They
have a very bad effect on the country,
and will seriously affect immigration to
Ontario, tending to divert immigrants
to other portions of Canada, where such
pessimistic reports are not put in their
way."

The Sun's Estimate.
The Farmers' Sun; which has certainly
not been unduly optimistic, says in its
test issue:
"So far as Ontario is concerned the
facts given in the report of the De-
partment of Agriculture clearly show
that the value of the grain crops in this
Province is at least $12,000,000 below
the average of the previous five years.
By tire time the returns frtim all crops
are figured out, mid account is taken
of the decline in dairying, it will pro-
bably be found that the shortage in
this season's operations as compared
with the previous five, is between fif.•
teen and twenty millions. It is abso-
lutely certain that proportionate losses
have been sustained in the west; if we
have a really severe frost within two
weeks the western losses may be still
greater. There is no occasion for
panic, but it is better to face the situ.
ation- boldly than it would be to close
our eyes to obvious facts."

Member for Vancouver Speaks of Chinese
Riots.
Toronto, Sept. 9. -Several prominent
citizens of Vancouver, B. C., who are
at present in Toronto, were seen last
evening with regard to the anti -Oriental
demonstration in Vancouver on Satur-
day night, and all were unanimously of
the °pillion that the demonstration
would have a bad effect on the question
of Oriental immigration.
R. G. Macpnereon, M. P. for
Vancouver, was about, to leave for Ot-
tawa, and was seen at the station be-
fore taking the train. "I ant very sorry
it happened," be saki, "as such action
will not be tolerated hi any British
country. Such action will do a lot of
harm, and will retard us in the steps
we are teking at Ottawa, to have the
Orientals imi»igration stopped. We need
the sympathy of the East, but this af.
fair will cause people to say that Van-
eouverites are not able to govern or con-
trol themselves. Just why they molested
the Chinese and wrecked Chinatown, 1*
am unable to say, for of all- the Ori-
entals, the Chinese are the most de-
sirable. Of course, I am not in favor
of Oriental immigration of any kind,
and have always been opposed to it, but
thoae Orientals who are in the country
to -day should be protected Something
must be done to atop the influx of lip-
anese. The Chinese problem was over -
tome by the head tax of $300, and we
are now endeavoring to elieek the influm
of the Japanese,.

Where the Farmer Gains.
Mr. Madden, of the William Ryan
Company, Limited, provision dealers,
speaking in regard to the prices of dairy
produce, pointed out; that, generally
speaking, they. had been unusually high.
He regarded the stateemut of President
MeEwing as beiug it most extraordinary
one, and utterly failed to see how any-
one at the present time could be in a
Position to make such an estimate. As
a matter of fact, he suspected President
MeEwing as having been doing some
pretty tall guessing.
Outrageous, Says Mr. Watts.
The position be holds as Secretary of
the Dominion Millers' Association en-
ables Mr. C. B. Watts to speak with
some authority in regard to the matter
of the prices of cereals ,and his opinion
with regard to possible returns from this
year's crop may be regarded as also hav-
ing some weight. When interviewed yes-
terday and asked his opinion as to Pre-
sident MeEwing's statement, Mr. Watts
stated at once, using no equivocal lan-
guage: "It is an outrageous statement,
and should be contradicted. President
lefeEeving, however, has made a ,definite
statement. He has given ,figures, and I
am not prepared to say anything with.
out figures before me, but I am certain
that he is wrong.*
A (ter lookingup statistics and
making compairsons, Mr. • Watts
said: "I was astonished to see
Mr. hIcEiving's estimate that there
would be a. reduction this year of $80,-
000.000 in tbe value of the farm produce
of Ontario. I cannot imagine how he ar-
rived at Hume figures. The shortage he
has complained:about principally is in
the grain crop Lind dany produce. 1
feel sure that he has greatly overesti-
mated the position so far as the grain
is concerned, and that the crops in On-
tario are not nearly as bad as they were
thought to be a few weeks ago.
"The value of the grain crop of On-
tario, including hay, last year Was
roughly estimated at $110,000,000.
Wheat to -day is ininging twenty per
cent. more than was a year ago, and
yet the average yield per acro is net
two bushels less, wording to the Gov-
ernment crop report. Oats are also
twenty per cent. higher in price, and the
average yield is estimated at nine bush-
els per -acre, or thirty per cent., les,.
Barley is ten per cent. higher in price,
and the average yield five and a half
bushels, or twenty per cent., less. Peas
are fetching the afttn0 price as last
year, and the yield per aero is three
bushels more. While the yield of beans
is Militated at double what it was
last year, it is too early to estimate
the value. Rye will be considerably
higher than last year in price, while the
erop will average about a bushel an
aere leas. There is a serious shortage
of hay in certain sectione of the coun-
try. but ill Otilet portions there Is a
good yield. The present indieations
are that the pride for hay will be
