"The great issue in Canadian poli- tics at the present moment concerns trade relations with the United States, and from this time forth it will be a controtling issue.

Dr. Robinson, one of their numfber, said to the writer : "The horse trade in the States is dead. Why, in Chicago one firkin that handled 200 • hors a week, doesn't+ now sell 20 in a week. In Chicago • automobiles are displacing the carriages and heavy deaught horses got secone place to the motor truck. We can't sell horsce for the money' we used to and we want rec- iprocity'. Reciprocity would help us out and we could sell horses tb you at one hundred dollars that you showed us in your stables as lying sold yesterday for one hundred and seventy-five dollars."

Though the pant season has not been art unduly brisk one, over $40,- 000 hes been paid out M Clinton for horselnat prices previensly unheard of in the history of the farm heese trade in this cenntry. We here give a lest of a few of the purchases made a,nd tine faeces aid:p Jas. Hamilton, 5 horses for which he received $1670. • One of them' was a colt rising three years for which was paid $300, Ben. Churchill, one team It $720 . and another pair at $740, a total of $1,460 foe fourheavy horses, that is an average of $365. Rohn Aleutian, one, $280. Thos. Malts, olio, $285.

These ago bigger prides than our farmers a few years ago thought possible and if they can maintain thein at this level they+ will 1+e well satisfloi, but in order to do so it will be necessary to preserve the Can- adian market for Ate Canadian horse. All the borstri itt the above small list of sales were, with the excep- tion of two, bought for the western, provincia.
