NOTES AND COMMENTS
It is eemi•offieially announced that
Canada's next Governor Gaueral will be
a action of the royalty, the Duke of Con-
naught, brother of the late King Edward.
If this prove true Hie Royal Highness
will ba weloomed by all classes of Gana -
diem, not alone for our late King's sake,
but his own. Such an appointment will
be no small honor to this country, for it
will be the first time that a Royal Prince
has been sent to govern an oversea do.
minion.
The prorogation of The Dominion Pari,
'lament Thursday afternoon was marked
with the unusual feature of the preaen•
tetion of an address to Earl Grey on the
eve of hie retirement from the office of
Governor-General. The address, which
included. Lady Grey and the family, was
replied to by his Excellency in a very
felioitous speech. There was the usual
military display at the prorogation
The militia °M.oera turned out in uni-
form, and a Sainte was fired from Ne•
pean Point. Hie Exaellenoy in the
speech from the throne had a large
amount of real legislative work and
achievement to refer to. Tho session
just closed has been one of the most
fruitful in the amount of useful and im-
portant legislation put through,
Hailey's Comet.
Ha11ey'a Comet will be risible to
the naked eye in Wingham. and oan be
seen by those who will take the trouble
to rise early as follows:—Mac 14, 2 40
a. m. ; May 16, 3 08 a. m. The comet is
to transmit the fade of the sun during
the night of May 18. The exact time
that this will take place is a little un-
certain, but the latest calculations seem
to show that the comet will be 4 or 5
degrees north of the centre of the sun's
disk about 11.20 p. m., Eastern Stand-
ard time. The beat view of the comet
should be about May 20 to 24, bet an -
fortunately the moon ie full on May 23.

with spring seeding in Ontario and the
Wsatern provinoee, but that in Quebec)
and the Maritime Provinces little more
than a beginning had been made_. Oa -
tette and Alberta arein the lead with
spring wheat and oats, the farmer with
89.34 per cent, of the spring wheat, and
74 74 per oat, of the oats in the ground,
and the latter with 97.50 of the wheat,

72 94 per cant of the barley seeded, and
Alberta only 39.17 per cent. Manitoba
and Saskatchewan had nearly equal pro-

former with 90,68 per oent., and the
latter with 92 60 per cent., but both

Looks Like a Hold up,

apeotion? It would be understandable
if the fee were collected from only those
whose scales are discovered to turn to
the advantage of the owner, but wby
any other person should pay the fee is
diffloult to find oat. Hundreds of
people have scales that they bay and
sell from and no inspection le made.
The regular inspection and the arbitrary
collection of fees is reserved for the bus-

public must be protected against light
weight scales let the Governmet pay for

Canada's Fire Losses.
The Monetary Times' estimate of
Canada's fire losses for the month of
April is $1,717,237, an increase of $640,-
984 over the previous month and an in-
crease of $996,587 over the same month
last year, when the waste was $720,650.
They show a slight decrease :compared
with the average monthly waste of 1909,
which was $1,750,461. The total num-
ber of fires exoeeding$10,000 was twenty-
seven, representing a loss of $1,285,000.
Three of these fires amount for over 50
per cent. of total. The following is the
estimate of the April losses: --Fires ex-
ceeding $10,000, $1,285,000; small fires,
$208,250; fifteen per cent. for unreported
fires, $223,987, Total $1,717,237, At
the rate of three every two working
days, the fire fiend burned the lives of
37 Canadian residents during April.
This total is the highest since the Mone-
tary Times commenced to keep these
records, The following are some of the
canoes of these fatalities: --Smoking in
bed, 2; burning house, 4; bonfires, 3;
over-tnrned lamp, 3; playing with
matches, 2.

Toronto, May 9 --Union Stook Yards.

seemed to contradict the reports of late
to the effect that there are not many
cattle in the country. The total receipts
were 141 oars, with 2,928 head of cattle.
105 sheep and lambs, 99 hogs, and 111
calves. There was a good attendance
of prospective buyers, preaent, but ow-
ing to the large run, whioh induced
a feeling that prices might be lower,
bidding was not very votive during the
early hours of the market, and for the
time being it looked like a very dull
market. Things, however, began to
move more briskly, and it was found
that prices were not going off so muck
as had been expected. The demand for
export cattle proved to be strong, and
