THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1590. The Week's Commercial Summary. The stock of wheat at Toronto is 174,- 881 bushels as against 177,253 bushels last week and 24,207 bushels a. year ago. Minneapolis mills produced only 149, 570 barrels of flour,:. week before last, against 258,100 the last week of June, and 99,- 500 a year ago. A number of sales of new wheat in Ontario are reported the past few days. Redisselling at 59o., and white at 60e, western freights. The net currency circulation in the United States on July 1st was $1,50,- 725,200, a decrease of $194,406,768 in a year. The per capita ciroulation is now $21.15. At Montreal trade is of a seasonable midsummer character, and in no line is there any special activity, except in the export of cheese, which, while behind the figures of last yea; are very fairly maintamed, considering the very law market values prevailing in England. Butter, too, is realizing poor prices, six- teen cents being about the figure for fine creamery, with ordinary dairy makes in poor request. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada has begun to increase early this season. There was an increase last week of 21,000 bushels, whereas during the corresponding week of last year there was a decrease of 2,- 122,000 bushels. The visible is now 47,220,000 bushels as against 41,237,000 a year ago, and 53,154,000 two years ago. The amount on passage to Europe is, however, only 22,560,000 bushels as against 40,320,000 ba4'hels a year ago. There were 35 failures in the Domin- ion last week as compared to 39 the week before and 37 in the corresponding week of a year ago. Ontario heads the list with 18, only one of which had a rating above $1,000; one was rated under $1,000, the remaining 16 had the lowest credit or blank rating. Quebec had 11, none of which were of any commercial importance. Nova. Scotia had five, Mani- toba one. None were reported from the other provinces last week. The wholesale trade at Toronto this week is fairly satisfactory. The move- ment in seasonable goodsis up to expec- tations, and the assurance that no changes in the tariff will be made within a year has allayed any feeling of uncer- tainty that might have existed in indus- trial circles. Large stocks in hands of manufacturers prevent any advances in quotations, which in most respects may be said to favor the buyer. The low prices of raw cotton and wools indicate that manufactured fabrics will continue easy for some time to coma, One of the strongest markets is for hides, which are again higher, in sympathy chiefly with the improved tone of western >aaarkets.

In the absence of further inform- ation, we infer that Mme. Zola is a very estimable woman. Cuba's sugar crop is all in. It is worth $10,000,000 this year, as against $50,000,000 last year. how much longer does Spain at this rate of sacrifice expect to get blood out of a stone? .e Worms cause feverishness, moaning and restlessness during sleep.

If your druggist has none in stock, get him to procure it for you. e Liverpool has a city ordinance forbid- ding the use of the streets to vehicles displaying advertisements. A man who undertook to show an advertisement on a bicycle was fined recently under this law. The city authorities seem to under- stand that the best place to advertise is in the newspapers. A new sporific,' to which the name petlotin has been given, has been discov erect in a Mexican cactus called anhal onium., Certain tired mothers are hop- ing pellotin will be in the market by another Tune so that they can surrep- titiously administer small doses thereof to their boys the night before the next First.

Ast.essment System --Mutual Principle. The important announcement is made this morning of the amalgamation of the 'business of the Provincial Provident Institution of St Thomas with the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, whose manager for Ontario is Mr. W. J. McMurtry, of Toronto, These are the two 'largest natural premium life institutions in Canada. Their aggregate business in the Dominion amounts to $86,000,000. The Mutual Reserve Fund Life, which is the largest natural premium company in the world', has for years done a large business in Canada, and has paid here in death claims over $1,250,000. It is duly registered under the. Dominion Act, and has a deposit in Governmet bonds with the Insurance Department amounting to $108,000. By this change the members of the Provincial Provident become mem- bers of an institution with one hundred and ten thousand members and over $310, 000,000 of insurance; an institution that has nearly $6,000,000 assets and an equal annual income, and 'which has paid out $27,000,000 in death claims, It is hardly possible that they will fail to appreciate the advantages of this change in the increased security which is thus 'Placed behind their insurance.

A new process of butter -making, whereby butter can be produced in a minute has been invented and some dairymen of experience who have given the matter some study assert that it will. revolutionize the industry on this con- tinent, The inventor is Herr Salenius,a Swedish engineer, and is now in success- ful operation in Sweden, Finland and England. The butter is ' made from sterilized milk the milk being heated to a temperature of 160 degrees and than suddenly cooled to a temperature of 50 degrees by means of small cooling frames through which iced water is constantly run. The cream which rises is taken by a skimmer and raised to the churning chamber of the machine. The cream is then forced into a tub which is perforat- ed with tiny holes and emerges with great force onto each fresh layer of cream as it rises, converting it into butter by concussion. The butter is then in the form of granules and is drawn into a tub,where it is mixed with butter- milk. After a thorough mixing it is put under pressure in a butter worker and almost all the buttermilk is gqueezed out. The butter is then placed on ice, where is it kept for two hours. It is then worked over again and made up. Ideal Summer' Resort. Kill two birds with one stone.

"We have a patient in this asylum now who believes that he is shut .up : in the old Fleet prison for the national debt. In the hope of raising the money to pay. this trifle nil and obtain his release he has for the last two years devoted his poor brain to invent,ng things. Strange to say, among a host of utterly absurd ideas he actually has produced two which are really practicable.

Ae he is now quite 'tired, and is a eonaewhac prominent man, I won't mention any details: but his invention, designed and modeled as a diversion while absolutely insane, has since brought him in thousands of pounds. - "A lunatic at an asylum where I was once assistant phy eieian invented a flying machine, and had a unique method of suspending it in mid-air.
