NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Complete trade returns for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1904, have been
completed. They show that Canadian
trade last year was :$ 172,733,000, against
W7;064;000 the previous year and µm;0,•
025,000 in 1896.
The Federal Government having been
oonvtnced that steel rails are being
successfully manufactured at the Soo
has Imposed the duty of $7 a ton upon
steel rails. Existing contracts will be
exempt, but any such rails must be im-
ported before November 30.
The report has been received at the
Ontario Bureau of Mines regarding the
reported discovery of tin on the Manitoba
side of the inter -provincial boundary
west of Itat Portage. Prof. Miller is now
in Rat Portage, however, and may look
O'er the district on the Ontario side of
the boundary to see if there are any in-
dications of tin.
The Buffalo News figures out that the
only reciprocity that would be attractive
to Canada would open the seventy -million
market to the Dominion without opening
anything here to United Status manufac-
turers. That may bo about correct, but
on the other hand the only reciprocity the
United States would agree to would open
the Canadian market to its manufactur-
ers without opening anything of yalue to
Canada in return. So it appears to be a
case of horse and horse.—Hamilton
Herald.
In the course of an interview with the
Rev. Mark Guy Pearse, who has just
returned to England from a year's tour
in Canada and the States, that noted
divine said : —"I wish to say that I never
saw a woman in any public -house in Can-
ada or the States; that I never saw on any
table, or even iu the dining -cars, or in
the -hotels, a glass of beer, wine or
spirits. I never saw a drunken man
until I reached an English port. I was
deeply impressed with the self-respecting
bearing of the people. They walked
with a firm step, as if they knew whose
world it is, and felt that they had a
share in it."

The pupils of Miss Nina Isbister gave
her a pleasant surprise before she left for

19th, at the school they presented her
with a handsome toilet set and the fol-
lowing address: —
Miss Nina J. Iebister:
Dear Teacher,—It is with great regret
that we learn of your intended departure
for Saskatoon. By your kindness and
industry during your teaching here yon
have gained our love and respect. As a
token of our affection and in order that
you may not forget us during your
journey we give you this toilet set
That you may be as successful with your
future pupils as you have been with those
of the past is our earnest wish. Signed
on behalf of the school.
MARY GOLLEY,
HAZEL CAMPBELL.
Miss Isbister was completely taken by
surprise but thanked her pupils in suit-
able words before bidding them good-
bye.
Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, Aug. 80—The run was light
at the city cattle market to -day, con-
sisting of 70 loads, with 1,642 head of
cattle, 1,554 sheep and lambs, 550 hogs
and 79 Calves. For good to Choice cattle
there was a fair, steady market. For
inferior grades there was a slow and
draggy market.
Export—There were a foo loads of
good export cattle offering, and prices
for these were just about steady to firm,
Wilson & Maybee disposing of a load of
extra choice at a little over $5. For the
rest there was nothing of any quality to
speak of, and the prices ruled anywhere
from $4.65 to $4.80, the latter figure ap-
pearing to be about the top for the aver-
age tun of fair to .good exporters. Con-
sidering the price of Cattle in the British
market today, shippers are of opinion
that local prices are about as high as
they will go, except for anything extra
choice, which will command a good
price all through. For the medium
grassers prices, they say, are quite
high enough if not too high.
Butchers --There is a good market for
the best butcher cattle at from $4.25 to
21.50, but very few of this olass of cattle
offering. The large proportion of to-
day's offerings were considerably off iu
quality, and prices in consequence were
hard to get. More good butcher cattle
would have found a ready market. Bay -
ere were willing to wait to see what the
next market would bring rather than
load themselves up with beef of poor
quality.
Stockers—There is afew stockers mov-
ing, but market is not active, and the
quality is off. There more are rough
easterners coming in than can readily be
disposed of, For good stockers prices
are about steady at $3 to $3.50.
Sheep and lambs—Tine run was light,
everything was sold, and trade was good.
Prices are steady; export ewes at $3.65
to $3 75; lambs at $4.50 to $4.90.
Hogs—The market is weak. To -day's
quotations from Harris' are selects, $5.50;
lights and fats, $5.25.
The following are the quotations:

The Canada Business College,
OIIATIIAnt, ONT.
is unquestionably Canada's greatest business
school.
No other school gets such RESULTS.
It is now current talk throughout the coun-
try that the student who wants the best train-
ing and a good position when graduated must
attend this school.
250 students placed in year 1900.
800 " , ,; , 102;
375 " " " " 1003
If these were placed in picayune positions
worth $3 or $4 per week, the showing would
not be worth the space in this paper that it
takes to tell it. But when the salaries averaged
over $W10 per annum, a few of them over 31000,
the public should know that no other business
school in Canada publishes such lists and gets
such
RESULTS
Many of our former graduates aro now com-
manding salaries from $2500 to 34000 annually.
WHY SHOULD IT NOT BE YOU
We pay railway fare to Chatham up to 38,
and can secure you good board nt $2,50 to $2,75
per week.
