• • NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Senator 1)andurand, one of the Lib-
eral organizers, thinks the Conservatives
may not carry more than five seats in
Quebec province.
Mr. Hance J. Logen, M. P., one of
the Liberal whips, predicts that the
Government will carry 28 out of the 36
seats in the. Maratime Provinces.
The story printed in a Toronto Conser-
vative paper that Hon. M. E. Bernier has
been appointed a member of the Railway
Commission and Hon. L. P. Brodeur,
Speaker of the House of Commons, taken
into the Cabinet, is a fake.
It is amusing to ear some people
speak of Hon. G. W. Ross as the "old
Ian®.*ho ought to give way to the young
Mr. Whitney." There is just two years
difference in the age of these gentlemen,
Mr. Rosa being 62 and Mr. Whitney 60.
--Brockville Recorder.
An excellent showing made by the
Dominion of Canada with respect to
trade failure in 1903. These numbered
978 last year against 1,101 iu 1002, and
1,341 in 1901. Total liabilities were $7,-
552,72.4, against $10,934,777 in 1902, and i
$10,811,671 in 1901. Total assets were
$4,872,422, against $7,772,418 in 1002,
and $7,686,823 in 1901.

The question as to whether there will
be a session of Parliament still hangs in
the balance, but a definite decision one
way or the other will be reached very
some Indications seem to be that there
will be a session before an election.
This is the ysiew entertained by prom-
inent supporters of the Government,
who have seen the Prime Minister re-
cently, but Sir Wilfred Laurier gives no
sign, and he is the final judge.

the position which he has held for some

caused by the absence of W. Coats, who

lucrative position," that of County Reg-
istrar. The office was divided and Chas.
Garrow, of Goderich, was elected as
secretary, and Joseph Bell, of Carlow,
as treasurer. The other officers are as
follows: -First vice president, Morgan
Dalton, Reeve of Ashfield; second vice
president, James Young, Auburn; third
vice president, Henry Morris, Loyal;
auditor, Henry Beattie, Clinton.
It was decided also to appoint a chair.
man for each municipality, such chair•
men to be members of the executive
committee. These chairman were ap-
pointed as follows :-Ashfield, 5'ohn
Styles; Kiutail; Colborne, Alex. Young,
Carlow; West Wawanosh, Win. Bail-
ie, Dungannon; Goderich township, J.
W. Yeo, Holmesvilie; Hallett, Thomas

Hockey Matches.
Listowel and Lucknow teams played
a league game at Listowel o:d Friday
night last, the former winning by a score
of 21 to 3.
There was a good league game of hock-
ey played in the Wingham rink on Mon-
day evening, when Harrieton and Wimp
ham boys came together. The game
was well attended and the band fur-
nished excellent mesio during the even-
ing. At the end of the required time
for playing the score was a tie-.- 7 all.
Ten minutes more play left the Harrist.
on lsoya victorious by a score of 10 to 8.
The Wingllanl Hockey Club went to
Clinton on Thursday last to play au ex-
hibition game with the team of that
town and were defeated by a score of 8
to 10. The first half was very much in
favor of Wingham, score being 3 to 2 in
favor of our boys and both teams play-
ing good hockey, but the second half
the Clinton boys acted like so many
bush whackers and the Wingham team
came in for a bad slugging and to make
matters worse the game was played with-
out goal nets and almost everything that
hit the end of the rink where Wingham
was defending wan counted by Clinton
goal umpire, which official had to be
changed several times, but the
Clinton team will play a return game
shortly and our boys will show them
how to play good clean hockey.

.Ave Stook Markets.
Toronto, Jan.12.-There was a very
heavy run at the city cattle market to-
day, comprising up to noon hour 88 loads,
with a number of loads reported on 'the
road but delayed. The receipts consist-
ed of 1,560 head of cattle, 1,142 sheep
and lambs, 1,000 hogs and 75 calves.
Business was fair, though owing to the&
unusually heavy run for a Tuestiy's
market it was a little slow towbars the
close, and prices for the coneneroner run
of butchers' cattle easedeoff a little.
Forty-five carloads bf stock, includ-
ing 770 cattle ande480 sheep and lambs,
were the arrivgis at the Union btock
Yards, Toronto Junction, yesterday:and
to -day The quality of the cattle was
good, better,:in fact, than any run of
stock since the Christmas market. Trate
was fairly good with prices a little easier
than usual.
