The Business Outlook.

THe prospect of high prices for the raw products of our farms, is not just now very bright. The reason is “a fairly good crop everywhere.” An Eng- lish correspondent, referring to the Eng- lish harvest, says that ‘ taking bay, grain, grass, roots, all into consideration, this has been one of those all-round good seasons that would be difficult to excel.” Similar reports come from the European Contioent and from the American Continent, though it is stated that the crop returns of the Upper Provinces of Canada are rather shorter than they were in the very good years of 1882 and 1881. This is a result which is generally satisfactory—one on which the world at large may congratulate itself and for which it should thank a_ kind and gracious Providence. Certainly it is not for us to complain if, on account of it, prices rule low, and “the fall trade is dall.” Those of our farmers who are iv debt will, of course, sell at the best prices they can get, a sufficient quantity of their produce to satisfy the just demands of their creditors ; and there will remain on the Island more roots and grain to feed to the stock; and the stock will fetch a better price in the spring or be in better condition for home uses; and the wool will be better and the manure will be better than if the raw produce fed to the sheep, cattle, horses, etc, had been marketed this fall. The advantages, too, of keeping their raw products and converting them into more refined products, such as beef, mutton, pork, horseflesh, etc., will be foreed home upon our farmers more closely taan they have been; and thus the lesson of the low prices will be beneficial. In the economy of the farm nothing need be wasted—nothing ought to be wasted no matter what the present abundance. Should there remain in the spring, after the feeding-time is over, a balance of potatoes, oats, etc., it is quite possible, in our Opinion it is probable, that they may then be disposed of at fairly good prices. So let nothing be thrown away.

It is not likely that the flurry among the business men of Montreal will, at all hurt the interests of the Island. At the worst, it may force down the prices of goods somewhat, and thus result in bene- fiting the consumers at the expense of the manufacturers and merchants. But the more closely the causes of the “flurry” are inquired, into the less reality there seeme to be about them. The facts show that leading fimms, who were reported in difficulty, were never in a better position than they are now, and that the difficulties of the leading firms who are in deep water, are merely temporary. A few firms have fallen ; but as Mr. Johnson, Manager of the Commercial Agency of Dun, Wiman &Co., of Montreal, says :—

*‘Most of the stoppages we have seen have been created by the most natural causes—would occur in the best of times and carry but little significance with them —in so faras their reflection upun a com- munity is concerned. If such interests drop quietly out from time to time itis a positive help.”

In other words the failures have been largely due to the ignorant, imprudent, Over-speculative men who should not be in business at ail.

Throughout Canada, as a_ whole, care seems to have been exercised. Im- ports have been curtailed al! round.

According to the Canada Guzette they were, for the eight months,from February to September, of this year, $26,059,000, against $29,900.000 for the same period of last year. This is an evidence of a conservative policy which will save from any very serious trouble the great body of the business men of Canada, anf, which, being adopted in conjuuction with & rapid increase in the numbers and wealth of our population, will, we trust, ensure a remunuerative ‘home market for al] the products of ows own young and rising factories.

~-The death of the Rev. Mathew Richey, D. D., a venerable and faithful Minister of the Methodist Church of Canada, and father of the preseat Lieu- tenant Governor of Nova Scotia, is an- nounced, Inthe year 1824 Dr. Richey came out to British America, and in the following year he entered tle Ministry of the Methodist Church. Subsequently he was appointed principal of the Upper Canada College, a position which he held for soe years with muck, acceptance. From 1856 to 1860 he was. President ot the Eastern British American Conference, and here again he dischar ged the duties appertaining to his hig'n office, with deserved approbation. Previous to the Confederetion of the Provinces, Dr. Richey was stationed in this city, where he ministered to the warits of the Metho- dist congregation. He was an eloquent accomplished and thoughtful preacher, During his resideace here he made many warm and attachy-d friends who will hear of his death wit'n much regret, but who will ever continue to revere his memory. For some time past Dr. Richey’s failing health prevented his taking an active partin Church affeirs, and on Tuesday last he pussed away. There are few who leave a batter record than his,

THE DATLY Bx AMIN

Trotting at Upton Park.

ee

The races at Unton Park, yesterday, | passed off pleasantly and successfully. Two | races—the gentler.en’s driving and four- } | year-olds—-were completed, but the free- for-all did not till In the gentlemen’s driving four horses started, viz:—Mr. Wil- |} liam Groom's br. m. Belle Bunting, Mr. William McKie’s br. h. Dean Swift, Mr, A N. Large’s g. g. Hopeful, and Mr. S. R. Stumples by. s. Honest John. From the beginning it was evident the contest for first money was between Belle Bunting and Dean Swift. They were well matched, and though Belle won in three straight heats, she could not afford to make a mis- take, as Dean kept at his wheel and threatened the go-by several times. The race for third place, between Hopeful and Honest John, was gamey, and although Hopeful took third position twice, Tom was proud to capture it in the second heat, after avery sharp contest. The time in this race—considering the horses were not fitted and the heavy track—was very good. The first and second named horses trotted ad- mirably. Bell during the three heats did not break once, but trotted as steady and faithfully as the best trained of animals, while Dean showed himself to possess splen- did style, easy gait, and a level head during the race.

In the four-year-old race three horses started, viz: William, Scott’s bk m Nellie Scott, Mr. Wallace Rodd’s gm Minnie Grey, and Mr. Geo. Muttart’s bm Minnie Mack. It was sharply contested by Nellie S., and Minnie Mack. They proved themselves to be very supericr four-year- olds, by so gamely fighting throughout the race for first place. In the first heat Minnie Mack led from the start, and* was closely followed by Nellie S, with Minnie Grey afew 'engths behind. On the home stretch Nellie was sent under the whip, and drew up to her opponent in splendid style, passing under the wire neck-and-neck, with Minnie Grey third. This was declared a dead heat. The next two heats were trotted admirably. Nellie S. lead from the start and trotted both with Minnie Mack in close pursuit, without a break. The driver of Minnie Mack at the finish entered a pro- test that Nellie S. was a five-year-old, but it was proyen she was only four. She was then declared winner with Minnie Mack second. Nellie S. is a King Bird, sired by Stewart’s King Bird, St. Peter's Road. She is a fine four-year-old, and very creditable to her owner, Mr. Scott.

At the close of the race the spectators after a free drive over the course dispersed in the best of order.

Lord Lansdowne. THE NEW GOVERNOR GENBRAL—A BRILLIANT RECEPTION AT QUEBEC.

His Excellency the Marquis of Lans- downe, arrived at 8.45 on Tuesdsy morn- ing, from the steamship ‘‘Circassian,” in the Government steamer ‘‘Druid,” and landed at the Queen’s Wharf. There they were received by a guard of honor com- posed of ‘‘A” Battery. He was driven to the library of the Provincial Government buildings, where the inaugural ceremony took place with the customary eclaf, The walls were hung with bunting and the throne was covered with crimson cloth and surmounted by a canopy. Behind the single seat placed upon the dias were the crests and mottoes of the Lorme and Lansdowne fam- ilies. In the centre of the room was placed a long table, at which sat the Federal Cabi- net ministers, all being in Windsor gold lace uniform, with the exception of the Hon. John Carling and the Hon. Frank Smith. Sir John Macdonald sat. at the head of the table. The other ministers sat in the foliowing order: On the right of Sir John—Hon. Mackenzie Bowell, Hon, A. P. Caron, Hon. John Costigan, Hon, Frank Smith and Hon. John Carling; om the other side—Sir Leonard Tilley, Sir H. Langevin, Sir Alex Campbell, Ho/a. Mr. MacPherson, Hon. Mr. Meke?n, How. J. A. Chapleau. At the foot of the table sat Mr. John J. McGee, clerk of the privy council, having in’ his keeping the great seal of the Dominion of Canada, ‘the minute book of the ‘privy council and the Bible. The seats om the left were reserved for the judges of the supreme, court, Sir Wm. Ritchie, chief justice, and judges Henry, Fournier, and Gwyane, all being present, As soun as all hai taken their places, Lord Melgund read Vie commission appointing the most hon.

the Marquis of Lansdowne to the governor generalship of Canada in place of his excellency the Marquis of Lorne. The clerk of the privy council, Mr. John G. McGee, approached the head of the table, with the Bible in his hand, and Sir William Ritchie, chief justice of the supreme conrt, advanced towards the new governor peueral, bowing separately to Lord Lorne and Lord Lansdowne and placed before the latter the cath of allegiance which was then administered. The chief justice subsequently administered the oaths of office as governor-general of Canada, and His Excellency the Marquis of Lans- downe took his seat atthe head of the table, and subscribed his name to the same, after which the chief justice and all the judges present of the supreme court affixed their names in testimony of the same. The Marquis of Lorne, who had been standing in front of the throne, having performed his last official act as governor-general of Canada, stepped down from the dais, there- by abdicating in favor of his successor.
