The great growth in the iron and steel industry in Canada is made evident by the figures of the bounty paid on the product. In 1897 the bounty to iron makers was $67,528 and to steel makers $17 866, or a total of less than $85,000, whereas for eleven mouths of the fiscal year fast ended the iron industry drew $624,181, and the steel industry $838,- 591, or a total of $1,462,782—say $132,- 89011 month, against about $7,065 a month in 1897—aa iucrease of well on to twenty -fold in the ten years. Something over half a million dollars will be received in liquor license fees by the Provincial Government this year This is about $200,000 more than last year, under the old Act, and over $40,- 000 more than was estimated by the Provincial Secretary, Hon W J. Hanna, when he introduced the new Liquor License Act at the recent session of the Legislature. Notwithstanding this great increase in revenue the number of licenses held in Ontario this year is con- siderably less than in former years, able me to get into oommnnioatiorewith the parents or guardians of all the blind children in Ontario, under the age of twenty-one yearn. The Institution for the Education and Instruction of the Blind, maintained by the Ontario Legis- lature, admits as pupils "all blind youths, of both sexes, between the ages of seven and twenty-one, not being de- ficient in intellect, sad fres from dis- ease or physical infirmity, being resi- dents of the Province of Ontario." It is not necessary that the applicant shalt be totally blind; the teat is inability to "read ordinary type and attend a school for the seeing without serious injury to the sight." The initial ditiioulty is to locate the ohildren who are eligible for admission, and it will be helpful in the future if your readers will send me the names and addressee of blind ohildren under seven, as well as of thous between seven and twenty-one. Should you favor me by the publica- tion of this letter, I would ask your readers not to depend upon the parents of the ohildren with defective sight to attend to this matter. If all could wit- ness the gain in health, happiness, know- ledge and self-reliance that comes to those who, deprived by their affliction of access to the pn'lio schools, take advant- age of the educational facilities afforded by this Iastitution, none would grudge the time and troable required to widen the soope of the sohool's influence. Send me the 'eines and addresses, and I will by correspondence or visitation do the rest. H. F. GARDINER Principal 0. I. B. Brantford, Jaly 20th, 1906. The sale of the Penman woollen mills at Paris is of more than ordinary interest at a time when many woollen manufact- urers are in a complaining mood. The $10 shares of the company have realized $346. This handsome figure cannot be reconciled with the statement that the Canadian woollen industry is not receiv- ing fair treatment. The success of the Penman Company euggests that if some Canadian woollen manufacturers are not prospering the fault cannot be laid at the door of the tariff —London Advertiser. The foreiga trade of Canada for the year ending June 30 last was five hun- dred and fifty-two millions dollars,an in- • crease of nearly eighty-two millions over the previous year. This illustrates the great prosperity which exists and the marvellous development which is taking place all over the Dominion. The great increase in trade is not confined to any one particular branoh, but is general. The imports entered for consumption amount to $290,343,408, an increase of $23,450,937 over 1905. Exports of do- mestic produce amounted to $245,483,- 956, which is $44,529,010 in excess of the fiscal year 1905. There was also an ex. case for the year of about nine millions in the exports of foreign produce. MODERN BANKING. In lieu of so many banks being opened a wag has prepared the following sketch outlining what may be expected:— The xpected:—The Limit Bank of Canada; capital, $1,00 ; incorporated 1906 ; rest, $50 ; Head Office, Brantford, Ont.; branches throughout country. A general banking business done; speoat attractions offered. Current accounts opened without form- alities of any kind and interest allowed at the rate of five per cent on maximum daily balance. No objection is made to overdrafts. Special deposits received and interest allowed at the liberal rate of ten per cent per annum made up and _ added to the principal at the close of each month. Logs. To any amount granted with- out delay or seeurety at three per cent per annum. Should the borrower not desire to meet his note at maturity the bank will gladly hold it over for any Iength of time, free of charge. Should our customers or their wives desire to leaye their dogs or children in safe keeping while transacting business in the city, the bank staff will gladly take charge of them. The tellers' boxes form cafe play rooms and the tellers will be delighted to have the little ones and their canine pets and to provide them with new cents to swallow, or a bundle of clean $10 bills to play with. FREE LUNCH—In order to be "up with the times," thebauk has decided to open at all branches, from 12 to 2 p. m., a free lunch counter.

"Toronto, July 24 --Toe ran at the City Cattle Market to -day was 52 beds, with 804 head of cattle, 864 sheep and lambs, 235 hogs, and 157 calves. With to•days's light ran, prices were partioally unchanged front last week, though the market was not any etroug- er. For good quality and extra choice cattle, the market was good to firm, choicest butchers' going up to $4,70, but there were very few of these in the market. Good average butcher oattle were steady, at $4 up to $4.40. B etcher cows are down, and will probably have to Dome lower. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.
