LAST YEAR'S TRADE RETURNS.
.As already announced, Cauada's aggre-
gate foreign trade for the year ended
June 30th last, on the basis of imports
for. consamption and exports, amounted
to $464,978,372, =increase of $5,338,132,
compared with the previous twelve
months, and a gain of $224,708,990 when
contrasted with the best year ander the
Conservative administration. The im-
ports for consumption were $251,457,137,
and the exports $313,521,255. Iu 1903
the imports for consumption were $233,-
'90,516, and the exports $225,549,724 Of
the imports for consumption 8102,554,.
750 were free goods, an increase of
$14,156,221 over the previous year. Oar
imports from Great Britain and British
possessions amounted to $72,881,951.
From foreigu countries we imported
goods to the value of $178,575,185. Our
imports for consumption from Great
Britain wera $61,770,379, as against
$58,896,901 is 1902-3. Our exports to
Great Britain totalled $117,591,376, com-
pared with $131,202,321 iu the preceding
twelve months. The amouut of British
importa for consumption entering under
the preferential tariff was $43,765,253.
From the United States we took goods
to the value of $150,826,515, and we ex-
ported to that country products to the
amount of $78,173,549. In 1902.3 our
imports from the country to the south
were $137,605,195, and our exports to
the republic $71,7S3,924. The surtax
has considerably reduced imports from
Germany. Last year they amounted to
88,175,604, a deorease of over $4,107,033
compared with the year previous. Our
imports from France exhibit a slight
falling off, but our export trade with
that country increased by $256,310, the
total of the latter being $1,597,928. The
foregoing figares are taken from the un-
revised trade returns. They may under-
go some change in the course of revision.
tion shows that the fiy is again about
normal, and therefore the damage canbe
traced almcst entirely to the severity of
the past winter..
NOTES AND COMMENTS,
Particulars were filed in theprovincial
election petitions against J. Brown. Lib-
eral, North Perth, and A. A. Mahaffy,
Conservative, Muskoka. Each petition

GREAT DECREASE IN FALL
WHEAT.
TRE WIIGIIAN TIMES, AUGUST 25 1004.
Wiugham District will be held in the
Methodist church, Bluevale, on Wedne8'
day, Sept, 7th, at 2 pan. Rev. Joseph
Philp, B.D., of Kincardine, is the Chair-
man, and ger. R. W. Vance, of Bervie,
the P'inaucial Secretary of the District.
Enormous as has been the iurlastrial
expansion in Torouto in ten years, there
is abundant evidence that the end is not
yet. The manufacturers themselves are
confident that the era of prosperity is to
continue, and are displaying that con,
fideuoe by investiug considerable capital
in factory extensions. In the hardware
class not only are the works being en-
larged, but new branches of the indus-
try are from year to year being opened
up, and articles that were formerly al-
most entirely imported are now being
manufactured in Canada.
The Hessian fly is assigned as the
chief cause for the immense falling off in
the estimated yield of fall wheat in
Ontario, as announced In the report of
the Department of Agriculturey vhich
shows that the yield for this year is only
expected to be 9,827,760 bushels, com-
pared with 17,242,763 bushels last year.
The severe winter is given as a secondary
cause for the decrease.
During the years 1882 to 1902 the
average acreage sown was 908,809. Then
it was found that the only way to get
rid of a pest which had caused so much
damage was to stop growing wheat for
a few years. As a result, the acreage
steadily declined, and in 1903 it was
announced that the average sown yearly
for a period of 22 years was 897,728 acres.
In 1902 the figures were 748,592, in
1903 665,028, and this year, according to
the crop bulletins of the Department of
Agriculture, the area sown was only
about 605,000 acres.
But it is curious that although the
acreage has been diminishing from year
to year, the average yield per acre has
been increasing. For the 22 years from
1882 to 1903 the average was 20.5 bush-
els to the acre. In 1902 the average
crop was as high as 27 bushels, and in
1953, 25.9 bushels. This year, however,
the estimated yield is very small, com-
paratively, and it will not exceed 16.2
bushels.
While the Hessian fly has been the
Main cause for the decrease in area
sown it is not responeible for the small
yield per acre for this year. Examine -

London Exhibition.
The Western Fair is now less than one
mouth distant, and as the time for the
greatest of Cauadiau exhibitions draws
near, it is becoming more and more die-
cussed. There is not a farther through.
out the west who is not interested in
the fair, and of the people of the villages,
Cowes and cities, there are few who do
not take a keen interest in the exhibition
and wish it a continuation of the success
that it has met iu the past. Tho man,
agement have much in store for the vis.
itors this year. There is every indica-
tion that the number of exhibits will be
far iu advance of former years, and
that while an increase in numbers will
be experienced, there will also be au im.
provetnent in quality. • Retorts from alt
parts of the west regarding the crops
have been favorable, and this means
much for the fair.
The work on the new $10,000 dairy
hall has been going ahead at a rapid rate
and the building will be ready iu ample
time for the opeuiug of the fair. It will
be oue of the chief sources of interest to
visitors, and particularly to the farming
community, who are so closely, allied to
the dairy interests. There will be noth-
ing lacking in the hall, and what will
make it the more interesting is the fact
th it daily butter making competitions
will be held,
While the dairy hall will be new, a
number of the other buildings have been
improved to meet the wishes of the ex-
hibitors. In no respect is the manage-
ment of the fair allowing the expenditure
of money to deter them from making
the exhibition of 1904 a "hummer."
A new feature iu the improvement of
the quality of Outario cheese has been
supplied by the meetings of patrons,
where iustructions in the care of milk is
given by one of the cheese inspectors.
Mr. G. G. Publow, Chief Inspector for
Eastern Ontario, reportiug to the De-
partment of Agriculture, says that in
his district there have been no less than
98 meetings, with an average attendance
of 40. As a result of these meetings
there has been a marked improvemeut
iu the quality of milk supplied to the
cheese factories, and naturally, better
cheese has been produced,
The King's Printer at Ottawa, Dr.

had asked for superannuation and that
it was about to be granted met a frank,
unqualified and cheerful denial. His
declaration on that occasion that he was
" neither dead nor moribund " has al-
ready gone the rounds of the Canadian
press. Dr. Dawson, though of slender
build, has an eye and a complexion
which any man of twenty years younger
would envy. His physical powers have
shown no sign of impairmeut. In and

Love Stock Markets.
Toronto, Aug. 23.—Receipts at the
city cattle market were 85 loads of all
kinds of live stock, including 1,135 head
of cattle, 3,162 sheep and lambs, 1,200
•hogs and 86 calves. The ran of sheep
and lambs was a very heavy one, but
there was a light run of cattle, and some
of the latter did not arrive at market
nail lake in the day owing to an acci-
dent on the Grauk Trunk line at George-
town. Iu the wreck a load of very
choice export cattle were destroyed.
Trade was a little on tbo quiet side,
especially for export cattle, but prices

Liberal Governments the post he now ICrawford & Co. sold a good load of
heavy cattle, 1,375 pounds, at $5. This
holds.
Writers and physicians have advanced
isolation and pure air for tuberculosis
patients until the general public have
come to realize the necessity to a mark-
ed degree. Not only are cities providing
well-equipped sanitary hospitals on out-
lying hillsides, but in Binghampton, N.
Y., the board of supervisors, represent-
ing rural population, is taking an active
part iu the establishment of a sanitarium
for cousnniptives. The plan as adopted
there is to provide proper buildings on a
farm upon a hillside overlooking the
city, and erect tent sleeping booths for
the patients. The farm will provide
fresh fruits and vegetables for the pa-
tients, and a large hennery will be es-
tablished to provide fresh eggs, of
which the patients are encouraged to
use freely iu their diet. At Scranton,
Pa., a similar plan has been in operation
for some time and a number of patients
have already been dismissed as cured.

that figure and one or two loads at
$4.85.
Butchers --There were very few really
good butchers' cattle on hand, but for
the bust offering prices were steady. A
few good to medium loads sold at from
$4 to $4.20. With the light run every-
thing of fair quality was sold quick, and
the poorer cattle call found buyers at a
range of prices from $2 50 to $3.50.
Stockers—There was not so mauy
