BRADSTREEiT'S TRADE REVIEW.
Montreal—General trade conditionhere

under way and the volume of wholesale trade
is showing further improvement in the mat-
ter of re -orders. The dry goods men re-
port the fail orders large. Values generally
hold very firm. The demands for cottons
are heavy and mills. are working to full Ca-
pacity. Woollens are showing a rather quiet-
er tone. The 'business in knitted goods is
very heavy and mills are unable to fill all
orders. Orders for fall deliveries of blan-
kets, etc., are so heavy that manufacturers
may not be able to ship all required. All
lines of building hardware continue in heavy
demasel. The iron and steel market is very
active with prices firm. oroceries are do-
ing a good steady trade. Teas, sugars and
canned goods are firm. -Collections are gen-
erally fair to good. •

of business is moving in all lines here. The
wholesale demand for summer lines is im-

it has been at any time this year.
Vancouver and Victoria—General trade all

sale and retail goods are moving fairly well

POLICE WERE MISTAKEN.
Case of Robert Reach, Who Pied in a
Montreal Cell.
Montreal, July 1.----Tbe inquest over
the body of Robert Beach, who was as-
saulted on the night of June 18 and died
from his injuries in a cell, where the
ioliee bad placed him, thinking hint to
be intoxicated, was continued before
Coroner McMahon, The jury returned
a verdict to the effect that Beach met
mis death at the hands of unknown as-
sailants, and said there had been negli-
gence on the part of the police, but it
vas excusable. They recommended that
prisoners taken to the cells be examin-
ed by a doctor if apparently injured in
any way.
Beach had been taken M charge as an

fact, it had turned out that he had been

AWFUL TRAGEDY,
MOTHER AND FOUR CHILDREN
BURNED TO DEATH.
Ottawa special despatch. — Mrs. W.
P. Armstrong and four children were
burned to death in a fire which took
place early this morning in Almonte, near
Ottawa. Armstrong, with his wife and
four children, were sleeping over a laun-
dry, when the fire broke out. Armstrong
rushed downstairs to see where the fire,
was and could not return. At that mo-
ment a gasoline tank exploded, and it
was impossible to relieve the family.
The fire started in the engine room at
the rear of the building and had worked
its way through the entire lower storey
before it was discovered and cut off all
escape or means of rescue. The firemen
were soon on the scene and had seven
streams of water on the fire in a short
time. The laundry was completely des-
troyed, all the walls falling in; the oth-
er occupants of the block were Char-
bonneau, butcher shop and residence up-
stairs, and the Hamilton & Lewitt,
knitting company's factory. The upper
storey over the butcher shop was com-
pletely gutted but the lower part suf-
fered only from water. The machinery in
the knitting factory will be considerably
damaged by water.
By --time heroic efforts of the firemen,
the fire was confined to the one block,
thus undoubtedly saving a considerable
portion of the business section from des-
truction. The bodies of the unfortunate
victims were recovered this morning,
charred beyond recognition. The loss- on
the buildings. and stocks cannot be es-
timated at present, but it is believed to
be fairly well covered by insurance.
NO WAR WITHOUT NOTICE.
French Proposition at The Hague Con-
ference,
The Hague, July 1.—The French
proposition presented to the second
committee (land war) of the peace con-
ference, June 22, regarding the open-
ing of hostilities is strongly opposed by
the countries relying on prompt mobil-
ization, chiefly Great Britain, Germany
and Japan. The proposition is as fol-
lows: "Article one—the contracting
powers agree that hostilities among
them cannot begin without advanced
and unequivocal notice, having either
the form of a declaration of war sup-
ported by facts, or the form of an ulti-
matum with a conditional declaration of
war."

APPLES AND GRAPES ARE
FRUITS THAT PROMISE WM.
Mr, F. G. H. Pattison Gives a Concise Report on
the Present Outlook.
(Prom the Hamilton Times.)
Don't expect to buy your fruit at
slaughter prices this year. You are not
likely to do it.
That is the conclusion to be drawn
from the crop prospect as outlined by
Mr. F. G. II. Pattison, of Wiuona, one
of the leading fruit -growers of the dis-
trict, and a contributor to horticultural
literature. In an interview with the
Times to -day Mr. Pattison thus chiefly
set forth the condition of the fruits of
the district: •
Strawberries—Crop badly injured by
winter -killing, and the vines remaining
not well fruited; perhaps half a. crop.
Raspberries—Canes killed back in the
winter and prospects not good for over
half a crop.
Plums—Probably taking the various
kinds half a crop may beerealized. The
Japanese varieties are scarce; egg plums,
light; Bradshaws and Gueii varieties,
good; Lombards, a, very heavy crop;
Reine Claude, very light; German prunes
generally a good crop.
Pears—Blight destroyed thousands of
1^
trees last year, and those remaining
have from medium to light crop pros-
pect.
Peaches—Early varieties promise well.
The finer varieties, such as Crawford,
Fitzgerald, Smithson, etc., will be very
light. Lunghurst, Crosby and remock
promise a good yield. Albertas are
heavy in some orchards and none in oth-
ers. Perhaps something may be due to
more thorough spraying, as they are
very susceptible to leaf curl.
Apples—Crop setting well and the out-
look is good at present, especially for
early apples.
Grapes—Yineyards came through the
winter well, and promise is excellent at
present.
"The United States reports are not
favorable," said Mr, Pattisom."and in
some localities the peach trees them-
selves have been killed. I look for a
smaller crop in this district generally,
but I think that prices are likely to
rule higher, so that the fruit -grower may
get as much money for his crop as he
has got in some more abundant years."

LABOR STRIKES tCONOMIC BARBARISM'

New York, July 1.—Robert
Perks, M. P., who returns. to England on
the Celtic to -day after a business trip
of a month in Canada, said in an inter-
view that the frequent labor strikes in
the United States were an "economic
barbarism."
Mr. Perks is at the head of the Geor-
gian Bay and Montreal Canal Company.
He is an engineer and has- been- associat-
ed with the largest engineering under-
theings, in England and South America.
Be said that at one time hia company
had employed on the different undertak-
ings thirty-three thousand men and that.
there was never a strike.
"President Roosevelt'," said Mr.
Perks, "deserves credit for hie great
courage in opposing the tyranny of the
trusts, -but there is also tyranny in the
Unions and in dealings with the organ -
mations he hae adopted a middle course.
One thing that surprised me here was
the numerous strikes. I think they are
an economic barbarism. All questions
arising between employer and, employ-
ed can be settled withdut appeal to
arbitration. I have always made it a
practice to meet the men employed by
us and discuss the problems with them
and tell them what we could afford to
pay. We never had a strike."
The Georgian Bay canal will cost about
$100,000,000 and if the Dominion Govern-
ment, said Mr, Perks, would adopt the
plans, it ought to -be finished in four
years.
