A HBADQUARTERS FOR NOVA SsCOTIANS— THEIR DRY GCODS AND SHIPPING DE PARTMENTS

rising in the markets. other day, the price of shares rose to 49%, an advance of 1}, and in London to 514, | ao advance of 24. This is significant.

—The return of traffic of the Canadian | Pacific Railway from Oct. 14th to 21st, shows that the receipts were $204,000, | as compared with $185,000 for the cor responding week of last year, an increase of $19,000 for this year.

—Nothing further has yet been done) towards lighting our streets with elec. tricity. But the Manager of the Electric Light Company is in St. John and is ex pected here in a day or to sign the con- tract and make the necessary arrange- ments.

—An Ottawa telegram to the St. John Telegraph says :—“ The Island members are pressing their claims for a portfolio, and say that the Premier, in 1882, pro- mised that at the next vacancy in the Maritime Provinces che claims of Prince Edward Island would be considered.”

—The Canadian Pacific Railway Com-

pany announce that, commencing on Monday, November 2, express trains will be run daily through from Quebec to the Rocky Mountains. Said express | trains will consist of elegant first-class

and sleeping cars, a colonist sleeper, and, during the day, a diviug car.

— Mr. Kaulbach, M. P., is interesting himself on behalf of the fishermen of the Maritime Provinces He has been writing to parties in Toronto, seeking the names of merchants there likely from their business connections to be able to open up a market for the fish | foods produced in such abundance in the waters of these Lower Provinces.

—The Trade Bulletin says: To sum up, there is a revival of confidence, ao increase in the consumption of nearly all} manufactured products, aud a_ strong| tendency to higher prices, in many in- higher prices having already been realized. Business is certainly better, and in wool and woolen goods, steel rails, gas and other pipes, and some | other specialties, it is very much better. the tide has turned.

stances

—An Ottawa telegram tothe St. John Telegraph says :—* Dr. Jenkins, of Char- lottetown, has been negotiating with the Minister of Agriculture for Dominion assistance towards the proposed exhibi- tion of Canadian live stock in Agricul- tural Hall, London, England, next June. The live cattle will be shown at Islington in connection with the Canadian exhibit at the Colonial Exhibition, and Canadian beefsieaks cooked in the exhibition restaurant. It is believed the scheme will benefit the Cavadian cattle-raising industry.”

—Commenting on Senator Howlan’s subway scheme the Moncton Times re- marks: ‘‘The subject is one which we have uo doubt will receive the earnest attention of a government that has always shown itself ready to encourage aod assist enterprises having for their object the development of the country. When the Canadian Pacific Railway was first mooted there were those among the public men of this country who declared that the enterprise was wholly beyond the region of practicability, that the Northwest would never be anything but a howling wilderness—the bome of the wolf and the bear—aud that the re- sources of the British Empire would not be equal to the task of constructing the road. Yet to-day the Canadian Pacific Railway is virtualfy completed and is doing a profitable business. The subway does not seem to be an impossible enter- prise, and if there are insurmountable engineering or other difficulties they have yet to be shown.”

—Mr. George A. Sala, the special cor- respondent of the London Daily Tele- graph, writing from Adelaide, says :— “Terrible depression, I was told, was prevalent throughout South Australia, in general, aud Adelaide in particular. Frautic land speculations had ended ina temporary financial collapse. Wheat and copper were drags in the market, and on her cereals and her copper the prosperity of South Australia depended.

Distress, too, of the acutest type was rife, I was told, at Adelaide. Soup kitchens bad been’ established for

the sustenance of the hundreds of able-bodied men were out of work, and great meetings of the unemployed bad been held to enforce on the Government the necessity of at once starting relief works. Of course the dissatisfaction of the unemployed had been accompanied by a fierce outery ‘gainst bringing any more labor into the colony. ‘This was evidently not a season even for dribbling items of emigration into South Australia, and I was not altogether without compunction at the thought that I was bringing at least two bouches inutiles to these sunny but sor- rowful shores.” af

— At the meeting of the British Dairy Farmers’ Association which opened at the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington, London, England, on the 6th inst., the representative classes of cattle for milk were well filled. There were Shorthorne (eligible and not eligible forthe herd- book) Jerseys and Gurnseys, Red Polls, Ayrsbires, Kerries and Dexters, crosses between Shorthorns and Ayrshires,,

the secondto Mr. J. Phillips, the owner |

of “Red Cherry,” the Shorthora cow that | took first prize last year at the Raine |

Agricultural show held at Pre ton in

| July last. The object of these milk trials

is for the purpose of awarding a cup and other prizes to the an'mals that give the largest quantity of the best milk. They are conducted under the supervision of some of the members of council and the Society's chemist. It must be gratify. ing to breeders of Shorthoros that the cows of this breed have two years in succession gained the first prize and cup at the great London milk trial, as having produced the largest quantity of the best milk over all competitors; and not less encouraging to those who breed that race of cattle for the purpose, more particularly of gain by the meat they produce,to have found that the pure bred Shorthorn steer, Kioklevington, was, at Chicago, the champion fat steer of the American continent in 1884.

The Markets

Tue warket for potatoes is more active. During the past week they have been coming in freely, and are sold to exporters at 16 eenta. The market in Boston 1s fair, Chenangces bringing 45 cents and Roses 50 cents. The chances are that potatoes will, during the remainder of the season ,be wanted at low prices.

The flour market is firm. treal are as follows :—

Cheese are worth from 10 to 15 cents here. Liverpool prices have advanced to 50s.

Live Stock Exports. UNSATISFACTORY CLOSING OF THE SEASON— THE YEARS SHIPMENTS.

The exports of live stock from the port of Montreal during the past week were 1,252 head of cattle,as compared with 1,385 the previous week, and 544 sheep, as com- pared with 1,129 the previous week. The eattle shipping trade is winding up in a most unsatisfactory manner to exporters. In marked contrast to the promise with which it opened, the exports have fallen off materially, and the bad state of trade may be gathered from the fact that three steam- ers went out last week without cattle. As an instance of the depression, it may be mentioned that a herd of cattle, which cost here $70 a head, sold in Bristol at £15. 103 The total exports of catile this sea- son to date were 38,035 head, an increase of 4,495 head compared with 1884, and an increase of 10,210 head, compared with 1883. The total exports of sheep this sea- sen to date were 37,402 head, a deerease of 15.347 compared with 1884, and a decrease of 43,308 compared with 1883. The total exports of beef to date were 12,571 quar- ters, against 14,259 quarters last year, and 15,501 in 1883,

A Great March in Religion.

Tae Emperor William visited the Cathed- ral chapel in Berlin on the 26th inst., to inspect the new altar picture, the Adoration of the Magi. Court Chaplain Kogel related to the Emperor the history of the picture, and Cvuunt Von Arnim, President of the Synod, thanked His Majesty for his con- tinued favors. The Emperor, in reply, congratulated Chaplain Kogel upon his devotion to well-doing, and said :—‘‘ As for what you have said about me personally I accept with all modesty as aman whose days are now numbered. In my lifetime Heaven has covered me with blessings and mercies, especially in my old age; but the homage paid | lay at the throne of the High est, from whom we derive strength to execute all the best things that can be done on earth. Within the last few years,before the eyes of all of you, things have happen- ei by which Prussia has been 1a red higher than ever we expected, You have all been witnesses of the great work accomplished which will continue to endure if its founda- tions remain on purity of religion and pro- gress in every good deed. In my old days I call Heaven to witness that I have ever looked upon religion as the sole foundation on which everything reposes and as the highest good of my people.”

Fripay, Oct. 30.

McFarlane vs. McKinnon—The argu- ment finished in this case last evening. The court takes time to consider.

Hector McLean vs. John Bradley—The case was tried last Trinity term, and judg- ment was given for the plaintiff. Mr. Peters agrees for a rule fora new trial or & non-suit on several grounds. Mr. Davies occupied the court up to the present in showing cause against the rule.

Tue 8. S. Bonavista landed a case of small- p°x at this port yesterday. ‘he arrived here on Saturday. A child about six years old was ill, but it was not supposed serionsly. Yes- terday, however, on examination, the doctors declared it to be a case of smallpox, of mild type. The child was aceompanieT by its mother. and had a certificate of vaccination, The child ia now in the hospital at the Beeches, and the vesse! has been thoroughly fumigated, and will proceed on her voyage at once.— Pictou Standard,

T. & E Konny, of that city,—No, 161 iresnam House, Bishopgate street, London, EK. C. Messrs. Kenny’s is the only house in Nova Scotia, indeed in the Maritime

'annual show, and first prize at the R yal | Provinces, that has an office in the world’s

metropolis. The dry goods department is in charge of W, T. Lawson, a bluenose ; well-known in Halifax and Charlottetown, aud who wes for two years in the Halifax house before going to London, The ship-

‘ping department is managed by F. 0.

Mahon, so long identified with the house on this side. The interests of the firm could hardly be in the hands of two men better qualified, The writer met several Hali- gonians at the office, and judging from ap- pearances it is rapidly becoming the head- quarters in London for Nova Scotians, not only as a place of call for visitors to Lon- don, but making a specialty, as these London representatives do of looking after the interests of shipping, a great many Nova Scotian ship owners have already entrusted their business to them with most gratifying results, judging from the rapidity with which it increases, And this con- fidence ia more than justified, the high reputation of the house on this side being fully sustained over there. In conversation with the writer, Mr. Mahon said: ‘Our present business is the outgrowth of an oftice established in Manchester in 1875, at which time we found it necessary in the interest of our varied business to have some one permanently resident in England, and for that reason we opened that office where until 1880 our business in this coun- try was managed. Our shipping business (which at first was combined with that of the dry goods) having gradually increased

staples of Lancashire and Yorkshire manu- factures were concerned, being largely diverted to the Canadian goods, we found it in the interest of both departments to make London our headqvarters, and ac- cordingly five years ago transferred our business to this city, retaining, however, as we still do, an office in Manchester Sub- sequently we found that each department could be better conducted under separate management, aud Mr. W. T. Lawson, of our Halifax house, was appointed in 1882 to the charge of the dry goods branch.

THE COMMISSION BUSINESS

is also closely worked by an efficient staff, while the shipping and chartering branches receive from one who his had considerable experience in the London market, the care- ful attention such work demands. Not only do we attend tothe business of the ships in which we are directly interested as owners, but we are favored with the support of many Nova Scotian ship-owning friends, and look forward with confidence to a still larger business in this respect as we become more generally known amongst them. We have the confidence of a number of owners who, a8 opportunities present themselves, place the chartering of their ships in our hands, and we have also given satisfaction to those who have consigned their ships to our care, and their captains have recom- mended our house to other friendsin com- mand of Nova Scotia ships. Our business, therefore, in this department is an increas- ing one, and we think our supporters aow see the advantage of having their business transacted bya Nova Scotian house of so good repute, having a branch in London working in harmony therewith. In fact I may say ours is the only Nova Scotia house connected with shipping having an cffice in London. Yes, the report that we are inter- ested in

BUILDING AN IRON SHIP

is correct. Iron ships only are now able to compete with steamers for much of the business that formerly was open to our wooden ships. While for rice, wheat, jute, seeds and most eastern freights they get a preference and at a higher rate of freight ; and besides, insurance on both hull and freight is done so much less. I hope in time we may be able to build iron ships in Nova Scotia. At present we cannot do so to advantage. The present low prices of iron and the depression in trade, making cost of iron ships lower than it has ever been, was an inducement for us to make a trial of ‘iron versus wood.’ We would of course prefer to keep to wood—the production of our country—but it is greatly to our own advantage as well as our friends in Nova Scotia to know just how they will compare in cost as well as earnings. This is our reason for building, and I may add, that in the venture we are joined by Eng lish capitalists as well.”

Bripeer Farry died at Stratford, New York, on the 26th inst., aged 104 years and 2 months. She was born August 20, 1781, in Kent, County Mayo, Ireland. Two of her nine children are living, and there are nine grandchildren and tifteen great-grandchildren. She survived by ¢hirty years her husband, William, to whom she was married ai the age of 19 They hadasmall hosiery businers in Broad Street, New York, in 1819.

A Cow to Be THankrut For. — Says David Swing in the Chicago Current, though the story is not altogether original with the Professor: ‘‘ A simple-hearted and truly devout country preacher, who had tasted but few of the drinks of the world, took dinner with a high-toned family, where a glass of milk punch was quietly set down by each place. In silence and happiness this new Vicar of Wakefield queffed his goblet and then added, ** Madam, you should daily thank God for such a good cow.”
