Toronto'e real estate boom is dying
out, .vhich is probably a °.healthy thing
for the city. Miring the past six months
the building permits issued amounted to
$1,310,400, aa againsi 2,5111,545 for the
same period. in 1.91.
The Montreal Gazette says The egg
dealers were well pleased Saturday to
hear that the Dominion Government had
decided to place a duty cAf 5c per &Yen
on American eggs. They have good
reasons to be satisfied, as the packers
will have no opposi tion during the month
of January and February. New laid
eggs are very hard to get during these

import, American "hen fruit" to fill the
gap. Of eourse, these eeees cmupete

Canadians need not worry themselves
over the issue of the Presidental contest
now opening. The commercial policy of
the Republic cannot be made more hos-
tile than it is at prevent, and Canada
can, by 'declaring ifor free trade with
England; obtain greater advantages
'within the Empire than it is in thepower
of the United States to give us outside
of it. Neither does the question of peace
or war hang upon the result of next No-
vember. If war does come it will be as
the result of fortes even now at work in
the States,the movement of which Blaine
or some other man may accelerate or
retard,but which no man can ultimately
control.
A committee of the UnitedStates Sen.
ate has been appointed to sit during the
coming recess of Congress, to investigate
the cause of the present depression in
agriculture in the 'United States. The
Maine Farmer considers "it will afford
employment to the honorable members
of this committee during their summer
vacation, to thus set up a man tit straw
for the purpose of inquiring what he is
there for, and how he is getting on.
This action of Congress of course assum-
es'or takes:for granted,that a depression
in farming exists. We would suggest
that the first work of this body should
be to determine the fact whether thia
man of straw really has life, or in other
words, whether there is a depression.
Farmers of enterprise, tact, skill and
business capacity are generally prosper-
ous. If the farmers of Kansas, after
having their lands given to them, hope-
lessly mortgaged the seine for machinery
and teams with which -to grow and har-
vest their erops, is that a repression that
the Government is responsible for?'If
the farmers of Neva England and the
East are so blind and ao sluggish as to
still run in the deeply worn ruts of a
former generation, is that depression'?
If the superabundance of productive
land to population annually brings forth
• crope so bountiful that a bewildering
• surplus remaina above the wants »of the
people, can we call that depression ? If
the effort to feed out this bounty to the
' cattle produces beef so plentifully as to
over -supply consumption, can Congress
suggest a remedy ? Any industry can
herdly be depressed when bounty smiles
on every hand. If no depression exists,
then such a committee is not called for.

Canada ahould have a reissue of frac-
tional currency. The 25 -cent shin plas-
ters were a great convenience to the
public in remitting small sums. They
are a big improvement on the sticky
stamp that is so bothersome to people
nowadays. What good reasou is there
for not issuing 25 -cent mid 50 -cent
paper money? It would be more useful

One of the curiosities brought out by

Up to the close of last week the ex-
ports of cheese from Montreal from the
opening of navigationwere 313,000 boxes
against 207,000 boxes for the correspond
ing period last year,showing an increame
of 40,000 boxes. The ;chief feature in
the trade this season has been the re-
markably good demand for Canadian
cheese, owing to the splendid reputation
it has made for itself an England—the
great consumptive centre of :the world,
After the heavy shipment' of the past
two weeks, amounting to 170,000 boxes
it was thought that prices on the other
side would receive a shaking down, by
the knowledge that such heavy supplies
were on the way; but the very alight
decline that took place in Liverpool
public cable last week demonstrates that
the consumptive demand is about equal
to the supply, especially as orders have
come to hand more promptly than was
expected at the close of lest week's
prices.

Front sereet. Passengera will be

the building. It does not require much ef-
fort of the imagination to comprehend the
convenience of these changes. By the way,

electric system has just well startecl, Me
Church street route will be in operation by
August 1st and visitors to the Exhibitiou

furuished electric cars. Two suburban lines
are nearly eompleted, another has bean run-

ing actively promoted. In a few years
every thoroughfare entering the city will
have its electric; line running away out into
the country.

If the good forcing weather of the past
few days continues for a month and the
weathers conditions are favorable for harvest
'we shall doubtlees have beautiful crops of
most grains tiles year. The prospects are
again looking up, and reports of the grow-
ing, or rather the ripening, wheat received
in the last day or two from all parts of the
province are satisfactory. In scene low-
lying lands the rains have damaged wheat
beyond recovery, the straw being so heavy
where the grain was beaten down that it
will never be ready for the reaper. Ou
more favorable land, especially in the west,
the wheat is in splendid condition. Parties
who have examined it state that the top of
the stalks have filled out this year in a man-
ner that should more than make up for any
damage done by the rain. On high lands
there is little sign of rust. Cutting of wheab
was begun in Welland Comity on Wednes-
'day. The hay crop promises to be abund-
ant.
Parliament has extended for two years
the bounties offered to encourage the _pro-
duction of beet root sugar in Unlade. Last
year a bonus averaging about two cents a
pound was voted; but it was -provided that
it should not be paid after July 1st, 1893.
In the early part of this session the govern-
ment was asked to grant an extension of five
or ten years, and. in accordance with the re-
quest a concession of two years has been
made. It does not appear that the bounty
has caused a very heavy draM upon the
treasury. Last year the amount paid out
was in the neighborhood of 821,000.
