YEAR.

Several Important Suggestions.

Movement Towards a Sscond Winter Steamer,

Tue annual meeting of the Board of

Trade was held last evening, the President in the chair, and Mr.S. W. Crabb acting as Secretary. * The committee appointed to revice the by laws suggested in their report —which was read~—aclause providing that the action of special meetings of the Board be con- fined to the business for which such meetings were called, acd also a clause providing that members of the Board up- wards of two years in arrears of fees should be deprived of the right to vote. Both these suggestions were, after discussion, adopted and ordered to be incorporated in the bye-laws.

The President, Mr. Horace there read the following report :

To the members of the Charlottetown Board of Trade :

GentLemeN,—I have much pleasure in presenting the annual report for your consideration.

The extent and character of the work coming within the province of your Board cannot fail to furnish each year topics of interest which afford a suitable opportun- ity for explaining and emphasizing the Board’s usefulness upoo matters affecting the public welfare.

Many subjects have engaged the atten- tion of the Board since its organization,— questions which appearto metoble of great importance to us.

Haszard,

AGRICULTURE,

During the past year, a marked improve- ment has taken place in the trade of this Province. We have been blessed witk a bountiful harvest which from the farmere’ point of view, I think it may be said was a satisfactory one, with scarcely am excep- tion.

Of wheat there has been an unusuelly large crop, of excellent quality. In fect,

I believe, the best that has ever been gathered.

Oats, a good average both in yield and quality.

Potatoes, a fair average crop.

Hay, although oaly fair ia some sec- tions, was, On the whole a good crop and well saved.

A fair demand for all that the farmer bed to offer has been maiatained and prices huve been steady and profitable .

Fruit bas not yet assumed avy great dimensions, but enough has already been done to assure use that fruit, more especial- ly apples,can be grown here of good quality aed in abundance in favorable seasons. Orchard planting 1s progressing, and if care is taken ir the selection of trees must soon become a very important indus. try.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.

Great strides have been made during the past three years in the manufactare of cheese. fis estimated that the output for 1897 will reach 40,000 boxes.

During the early part of the season the demand ‘vas good and prices satisfactory ; but latterly, owing, no doubt,to the im- mense quantity of cheese manufactared, a decline took piace in the English markets and lower prices bad to be accepted.

It now looks as if the days of very Ligh prices had probably passed forever. Not- withetanding this there is still money to be made in the British market for the beet products ; hence the necessity for sending only the very best articles.

Dairymen are also turning their atten- tention to ‘he msanufasture of butter of very fine quality and the results so far nave been very encouraging. But the day is not far distant when some of the me thods of the Danish people will have to be adopted, if we expect to capture and hold a leading position, inthe quality of this article.

Remembering that the Danish dairy~ cattle have te be houscd during six or seven wioter months, we should feel no alarm when told that the long winters we have to encounter will operate against us

PIGS.

These useful adjuncts to the dairy should hold a very important position on the farm. Although for many years past large quantities of pork have been packed under the old methods and exported trom this Province, still it may fairly be claimed that we are ooly now making a beginning in an industry that is destined to be of the greatest advantage to our farmers. Thanks to the enterprise of Messrs. B. & M. Rattenbury, who have, during the past year, erected one of the largest and most modern pork-packing establishments in Canada. The success of this great uoder- taking, must, to a considerable extent, depend upon the fermers who should be largely interested in its welfare and ihcre- fore should see to it that suitable animals are procured to meet the almost unlimited numbers that are likely to be wanted at prices which should prove remunerative. The breeding, rearing and feeding of pigs isa source of wealth which is capable of considerable expansion.

FISHERIES,

The lobster pack continues to be a very important factor in the exports of this Province, and although the crustacean is decreasing in size and nuwbers yet this latter fact has so tended to enhance the value of the canned article that receipts from this source still compare favorably with those of former years.

Oysters although not as plentiful as heretofore are still held in great favor; when branded P. E. Island and band- picked they command high price.

Mackerel of extra quality were taken during the year, but ca'clres were poor.

Codfish, haddock and beke, plentiful.

Before concluding this rather lengthy report permit me to refer to some of the questions that have been dealt with by this Board during the past ten years, in the hope that its usefulness may be more generally recognized by many citizens who have not yet identified themselves with us and aleo to point cat much that ought to be accomplisbed in the near future if only our people will stand together as ove man indemanding, sot favors, but the fullest measure of justice in all matters:

pertaining to the weMareof the city and province.

The Charlottetowh Board of Trade was. organized io April, 1887.

Through its efforts a Jolnt Stock Com- panies Act was passed in 1888, and has sioce been found to be of great advantage over the old plan of organizing Co’e. The ep cial train service to connect with the winter steamship Stanley at Georgetown, was regularly established as a result of dts e‘forts in 1889.

Professor Robertson, Dominion Lairy Commissioner, was invited by the Board tocome here and lecture on dairying in 1890, and the meetings were advertised et the expense of the Board, which resulted in the greatest possible good to this Pro-~ vince. I think all will agree with me in saying that, if for no other reason, this one act i¢a suiiciert answer to persons who may say that the Board of Trade is of no use in the comm ‘nity.

In Angust 1895, this Board joined the Maritime Board of Trade and has etuce been given a prominent po-ition, ranking next to Halifaxand St. John amonget all the Boards of the Maritime Provinces. If we are to hold this position our mem ber- ship should be increased to at least 166.

As you are already aware the third anvual meeting of the Maritime Board was held in this room during Exhibition week, and many of the delegates, then and sinee, have expressed the great pleasure it afford- ed them to visit Charlottetown

Strong efforts have been made during the past three years{to have the old-time telegraphic system connecting this Islan | with the mainland improved. This has only resulted so far in baving the offices hours Open continuously from 8a, m. to 8 p. m., instead of as heretotore from 9a m. tol p.m, and from 2 p m. to 6 p. m., apd from 7 p m. to8 p.m.

So far so good, bui we should not stop short of having a service as cheap and complete as exists in other parts of Canada. It can be done by increasing the present subsidy of $1,966 annually paidto the Anglo American Co. [twill be done if we keep agitating. The Galifax and St. John Boards.fee] much interested in this matter, and bave offered ¢o assisi us. |} he freight rates on produce going from P. E. Island to points on the Maivland have been reduced on an average about 30 per cent largely owing to our efforts. During the past year a determined effort was made to indace the Dominion Government to aid us in extending our trade with Grest Britain by granting a subsidy sufficient to induce @ steamer having cold storage ac- commodation tocal] here during the sum- mer moaths'sailing direct for a portin Great Britain. Had this beem accomplished, a local company was prepared to erect a cold storage warel:ouse in Charlottetown suitable for all present requirements, the affording an unbroken chain of cold storage from the preducer to the consumer, and at the same time opening up to our people the world’s greatest markets for cheese and butter, egg, freeh fish, poultry, pork, -beef and mutton.

‘It sis earnesthy to be hoped that thie

by every wide awake man in the proviuce® should continue the work already begun by using all possible means to induce the Dominion Government to grant the sub- sidy asked for—if only for three years. The provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are assisted in this way, thon why not P.K, Island.

Mr. D. W. Campbell, manager of the Beaver Line of steamers, came here last year prepared to make arrangements to bave one or more steamers cai] here and no donbt he is ready to do so again. Other steamship agents are also ready to deal Wit) us as Soon as a subsidy 1s decided ups on,

lo March lasi when it was annonaced that the Ss, Stanley was to be laid up for ten days this Board promptly telegraphed the Minister of Marine and Fisheries which resulted in the steamer coutinuing on the route until che end of the winter season.

The need of a second winter steamer has become a verv live question and active measures should at once be taken to in- duce the Government at its next tession to have placed in the estimates a sum sufti- cient to procure @ suitable steamer.

This is vot a matter affecting this Pro- vince alone, it is one that shou'd appeal to every Cavacian who has any jaierest in its trade

‘The extension of the railway track along the water front is a matter which has been referred to by this Board, but nothing #0 far has been,done. [fit is needed, why not strive to obtain it?

The Hon. A. G. Blair, Minister of Rail- ways, assured a committee from this Board thatthedemand for such an exteneion seemed reasonable.

To conclusiou, gentlemen, let me remind you that for many years this province has been receiving but very scant justice from the Federal Government, notwithstanding the fact that large expenditures have been made by the late government, and are being made by the present Government, for railways and canals and cold storage cars in the west, and for fast steamship service and subsidies to steamehip lines iv the east, in none of which this Province can hope to benefit to any appreciable extent.

In 1894, in the Senate. the Hon. Senator Ferguses called attention to the fact in a speech that was at that time, aud has ever since remained unanswerabie, viz., that according tothe terms of Confederaticn there is due this Brovince by the Dominion Government $2,171,318 18. I therefore see mO reason why, even at this late date, weehould not press oar claima for a subsidy to assist us in establishing direct steamship service during the summer month+, a second winter steamer for the winter service connecting this Prevince with the mainland, ie addition to the ful £\meitt of the countless promises that have been made by both political parties since ave entered into confederation.

It is much to beregretied and very un- fortunate for thie Province that tp to the present time we have no means of ascer taining the quantities annually available

1 of wheat, Oats, pm&atoes, turnips, cheere,

butter, egos, poultry and live steck, lob- sters, mackerel, and otber fish; nor have we any adequate ddeas of the totel annual exports from this Province.

if euch information were obtainable I feel sure that Prince Fdward !sland, the must thickly settled Provinse in all Caneda, would wot only commaud more atiention in the eyes of the outside world than it does, but wou!d strengthen its claim to be called the Garden of North America. Cannot something be done to meet the long felt want?

All of which is respectfaily submitted,

The report ef the Council, submitted, showed that the Byard is in a good posi- tion, and that difteen new members were added during the past year.

It is refreshing to know that the Ger- ¢

mano E-nperor’s speeches are al] impromptu. To solemnly prepsre bef -rebaod tue balderdash he imposes on the civilized world would be sheer junacy.

Cardinal Vaughan, Archbishop of West minster and the bishops of the diocese, have published a 122 page rejoinder to the letter published Jaet March by the Anglicag Orders. The rejcinder, which is signed by sixteen Rowan Catholic prelates, maintains that to deny the Pope’s competency to decide tris question is to strike at the very roots of the sacramental system.
