this afternoon raided the offices of the Committee and seized all the papers found there.In consequence of a false report that the police inteuded to close the Labor Exchange, there was considerable exekement among the atrikers, who gathered b large numbers around the building, remaining until dispersed by the police.The troops have been oidered to remain in barracks.Owing to the threaten*!

contract for the Gïvernment, and that the aggregate tonnage far exceeds that of vessels building at any one time during the civil war.This vastcoistruction programme has been authorized gradually by Congress, until vessels soon to be completed will place the United S»tes thiid in rank among sea powers.In addition » the enormous fleet, including auxiliaries, ajtually in commission at the present

SITUATION IN JAMAICA.White Troops Sent to the Disturbed District\u2014The Excitement Not Yet A llayed.COMMERCIAL METROPOLIS ITEMS.Meeting of the Provincial Cabinet\u2014 Possible Appointment of New Judges \u2014 Winter Trans-Atlantic Mall Service\u2014The W.C.T.U.Convention.Montreal, Oct.13\u2014The Provincial Cabinet met here to day, all the Ministers being present.Nothing but routine business was transacted so far, but it is expected that before the members of the Government leave the city a Police Magistrate will have been appointed in succession to Judge Dugas, who has gone to Dawson City.The appointment of an 'English-speaking Magistrate is also in contemplation and it is likely that Alderman Beausoleil, M.P., and R.S.Weir, D.C.L., will be the new Judges.The steamship managers of the Allan and Dominion Lines say that they have not yet received official notification of the awarding of the winter trans-Atlantic mail coutract to their lines jointly, calling at St.John and Halifax, and are therefore not prepared as yet to discuss the features of the service, which it is their intention to give if the reports are correct.At this morning\u2019s sitting °f the Convention of the W.C.T.U.for the Province of Quebec, held in the Methodist Church, Westmount, the following officers wore elected for the ensuing year :\u2014President, Mrs.Sanderson, Danville; Vice-President, Mrs.S.W.Foster, Koowlton ; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs.R.W.McLachlan, Montreal ; Recording Secretary, Miss Bazin, Montreal ; Treasurer, Mrs.Leet, Montreal.Kingston, Jamaica, Oct.13-Several more families from Anotto Bay and the adjacent distric» of St.May and Portland, have ar rived at Kingston and Port Antonio, owing to the growing apprehensions of serious negro disturbances.In response to the urgent appeals of resi dent landed proprietors, storekeepers and others, who express doubt in the power of the civil authorities to maintain order by means of native black police, the Government despatched 400 white troops, with Maxim guns, to the disturbed district last night.The Coldnlal Secretary, in an interview this morning, expressed the opinion that no trouble need be expected from the Maroons, all the apprensions pointing, he added, to the native Jamaica negroes.But, he continued, the latter will surely not attempt rioting in the face of the display of force now made.Public opinion is not so confident and the excitement is spreading throughout the eastern parishes,and this|feelicg is not allayed by the fact that the Maroonaolaim to be ready to support the Government according to treaty conditions, for it is felt that the loyalty of the Maroons largely depends on the result cf to day\u2019s trial of their claims.THE BMPRES3 DOWAGER OP CHINA.Her Apparent Usurpation of the

the Porte\u2019s demand that it be allowed to retain three fortified places in the Island, with garrisons sufficient to safeguard the Mohammedans and protect the Turkish flag.The Admirals say that the SulUn should not be allowed to maintain any troops in Crete and they ask that Turkish troops be compelled to completely evacuate the Island.The Admirals have decided not to allow Osman Pasha and Sabit Pasha, who have been ordered to proceed to Crete from Turkey to London, Oct.14\u2014The Pekin correspondent cf the Times says \"The Foreign Legs-, tiens have not yet been notified by the Tsung Li Yamen that the Empress Dowager has assumed the Regency, which daily assumes moire the nature of an usurpation.There are ominous indications and the early death of the Emperor is expected \u201d A despatch to the Daily Mail, from Pekin, says that thirty-three Italian blue jackets have arrived there to guard the Italian Legation.The British, German and Japanese Ministers at Pekin, according to a special despatch from Shanghai, have vainly sought for a week past au audience with the Emperor.An official of the Tsung Li Yamen says the Emperor lies in a dying condition in a small building on a lake near the Empress Dowager\u2019s palace, where no man can penetrate.THE TURBINE PROPELLED BOAT \"TURBINA.\u201d Two Similar Boats to be Constructed In England.Washington, D.C., Oct.13\u2014Consul

rioters were attempting to seize the Sheriliau treasure.their presence would only complicate the situation aud lead to idle discussion.The Porte\u2019s reply to the Powers did not allude to the Turkish civil officials and the Admirals propose to regard the silence on this point as implying an agreement to their removal.NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.Contract for the Winter Mall Service\u2014 The International Conference.of the wonderful turbine propelled boat \u2018Turbina,\u201d which created such a sensation at the British naval review by her extraordinary speed, have begun the construction for a foreign Governmeut of two boats of the tame style, about 200 feet long and with 10,000 horse power.They are guaranteed to make at least 35 knots an hour, but as they are twice the length, six times theweight and five times the power of the \"Turbina,\u201d the Consul says it will be interesting to see how far they will exceed her performance of 35 knots.Yesterday afternoon fully one hundred of the leading men of Quebec attended the formal inauguration of the Dominion Corset Company\u2019s new building, formerly the Guillaume-Bresse factory on Dorchester street.From the style of the levitations issued, etc., everyone anticipated qnite a fine showing, but it is safe to say that no one who was not , fully cognizant in advance of the fac» of the caee had any idea of the treat in store for the Company\u2019s guests.From the moment the latter arrived and were warmly shaken by the hand by Mr.George Arayot, they found themselves in a perfect wonderland, their surprise at all they heard and saw being abundantly evident.The building itself is 200 feet deep and has a frontage of 40 feet and four stories.All the approaches, yards, etc., are laid down in asphalt, and inside paint, varnish and aliberal use of fresh water seeps everything scropu-loutly neat and clean, and in perfect saottery condition.When the handsome plate glass entrance is passed there is found on the right hand of the spacious passage, Mr.Amyot\u2019s very handsome and luxurious office and reception room, while on the left baud there are two other offices.From them there is; telephonic communication to all the factory as well as with the city.On the gropnd Boor beyond these is found the corset store, and still farther on there are piled up the bales and boxes of materials for the manufacture of both corsets and cardboard boxes, for the factory is really two in one.Then comes the splendid 80 H.P.Corliss engine and the dynamo with a capacity of 300 16-candle power lamps.In a separate building are the boilers, huge pieces of work from the shops of Messrs.F.X.Drolet and Carrier, Lainé & Co.Mr.Amyot has also his own machinist\u2019s shop and this as well as the boot and shoe factories of Messrs.H.Griffith and T.Migner derive their power from these engines.The second story, which is) the corset factory proper, ia a wonderful sight.Two\u2019tablea run almost the length of the room and measure about 150 feet each, and on them are about 150 machines with from one to eight needles each.One machine, with four needles, makes 800 stitches a minute, and another with two needles can make as many as 1,300 stitches a minute.Other ma chines make as many as 2,500 stitches a minute.These are light embroidery ma chines and it is marvellous to see the esse with which they are operated.So rapidly i all the work done that three corsets are turned out ready for the market every minute, or 150 dezen per day of 10 boors.It would take columns to describe all the wonders of this room.The third story ia given up to the manufacture of boxes of all kinds but especially those intended for boot and shoe and hat manufacturers.Itforms, we understaud, the most complete factory of the kind in Canada.Two machines arc especially noticeable in this room.One, which has an almostfabulouscapacity.cutsout boxes of all sizes, and the other completely makes and finishes 33 boxes a minute.It is a recent invention and Mr.Amyot has the fourth machine of the kind turned out from the factory.There are no others in Canada.The fourth story is utilized for storage pur poses.After his visitors had gone round the fac tory and inspected everything to their hearts\u2019 content Mr.Amyot asked them to sample t glass of champagne with him.and it is need less to say that few refused the inviution.The Hon.Pierre Garneau, who had previously started the engine aod set everything iu operation, took advantage cf the opportunity to propose Mr.Amyot\u2019s health and to csnsratulate him upon his enterprise, hie success and his magnificent factory.He re ferred to the importance of such industries to Quebec aud hoped that many more would follow his host\u2019s example and start new enterprises here, Quebec\u2019s boot and shoe trade was unrivalled in Canada, and he did not see why this city shonld not succeed quite as well in other directions.He would say in conclusion, that in all his travels he had never seen a finer equipped and cleaner fac tory.The honorable gentleman also showed his appreciation of natural as well as artificial beauty, by referring in terms that drew out applause from the men and blushes from the subjects of his remarks, to the couple of hundred fair faces whose owners had pressed closer to hear the speeches, all work being suspended for the time being.Mr.Amyot, in reply, thanked Mr.Garneau for the kind things he had said of him, aud traced up the rise of the Dominion Corset Company from its small beginnings in 1886 to its present proud position.He also acknowledged his debt to the trade of Quebec, both wholesale and retail, who bad ever gladly and warmly opened their doors to him and taken in his goods.Mr.Amyot also spoke, in terms of pardonable pride, of the excellence of the factory and its work, which could not be excelled on the continent in either branch.A number of other healths were then proposed and drew out exdellent replies and before the party separated Mr.Douglas, who had charge of the lunch, presented *o Mr.Amyot a beautiful floral horsehoe of enormous size, sent by Messrs.Max Adler, Fred.Adler and J.M.Oilman, corset manufacturers, of Connecticut, as an expression of their regard and good wishes for bis success.Mr.Amyol may well feel proud of his establish-meut and none of those who visited it can forget it

Football Match i MeGILL (of Moiiirea!) vs.QUEBEC, ginal name \u201cRoyal Canadians.\u201d The Chromicle invited the attention of the Imperial authorities to the matter, and it is gratifying to observe that it has also attracted the notice of the military newspapers.The United Service Gazette of October 1st, referring to the matter, says : \u2014A retired military officer, in requesting to reproduce the extract from the Morning Chronicle (Quebec) of September 3, given below, writes: \u201cIs it not a grand thing to see a Quebec paper taking up Empire Federation so nobly 1 On the raising of the 100th in 1858, a goodly number of men were enlisted in Quebec, and we had no less than four officers posted to us from that city.The editor of the Morning Chronicle is quits right : the words \u2018Royal Canadians\u2019 should be on the men\u2019s shoulder straps in place of'Leinster,\u2019 and if the regiment cannot bo sent to garrison Quebec, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Hamilton and Brantford,recruiting parties should be sent to those cities.It should be remembered that when the 100th was raised there was no recruiting in Nova Scotia; that Province was not then Canada; therefore, though now thoroughly Canadian, there cannot possibly be the same feeling either of sentiment or ownership as there would be in the cities or towns of Canada East and West.It does seem hard lines that it should be left almost entirely to Canada to do all the work in this connection in the federation of the Empire.I would suggest that now is the time, and also throughout the winter, for recruiting to be carried on, and the authorities might send the hands of the regiments and parties of picked men on tour for that purpose.This would, I am sure, cost far less than sending men from the old country.If it be a fact, as I hear, that great numbers of Canadian youths are or have been serving in the American Army, they would, now that the war is over, be coming home again, and not feel so much inclined to go back into civil life as to soldiering in their own regiment, \u2018The Royal Canadians.\u201d\u2019 The extract from the Morning Chronicle referred to is as follows : \u201cThe order recently given to recruit in Canada for the old 100th Regiment will afford those Canadians who desire to take advantage of it the opportunity of enlisting here in the British Army.For the sake of the present movement in favour of still closer relations between Britain and Canada, we trust that the experiment may prove a success.But it was very reasonably pointed out in the Chronicle of Tuesday last, by our correspondent XXX\u2019\u2014who by-tho-byo is an ofticor of high standing, sound judgment, and long experience\u2014that in order to ensure this Canadian success, it is most desirable that the word \u2018Leinster\u2019 on the shoulder straps of the uniform of the old 100th Canadian Regiment should give way to the original name, \u2018Royal Canadians.\u2019 We commend this letter and the examples referred to in it to the careful attention of the Imperial author ties.\u201d They all know where the U.S, interests lie.Ir, the mixture of boundary questions, high sea rights, fishery régula* lions, labor laws and tariffs, thrown into the arena, there is a chance that the Canadian members, anxious for the sake of their political prestige to show some arrangement to the country as the result of their efforts, will agree to concessions not in the interest of the nation.The suggestion that in return for the price of the outfits presently employed in the seal hunt Canadians shall forfeit forever their right to pursue a lawful calling on the high seas, has called forlh hardly a protest from a Liberal paper or a Liberal public man, save only Mr.Joseph Martin.So powerful is party allegiance, or party subserviency, that there would he little hope of the rejection of a treaty by Parliament, however bad it might be, if the Government became committed to it.Mr.John Charlton is the author of a list of articles he suggests as suitable for putting on a reciprocity list.It seems, like his log policy, to have been made more with an eye to the United States\u2019 than Canada\u2019s advantage.Ithas alarmed the leather industry, even in ultra Liberal Quebec.It will put others to considering their position when what it means is fully appreciated.Unless the Canadian Ministers are convinced that it will bo dangerous to give away the country\u2019s rights and sacrifice important industries, there is a real risk thac an unsatisfactory agreement will be saddled on the country, to its business disadvantages, if not its lasting injury.\u201d EDITORIAL NOTES.Not much speed is being made with the work of the Peace Commission at Paris.That part of it referring to the cession of Cuba and Porto Rico ought to be quickly settled, covered as it is by many precedents of territories formerly ceded to the United States As to the equitable disposition of the Philippines, the problem is more involved, because the protocol simply provided for the cession of the city, harbor and bay of Manilla pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace.\u201cOf course,\u201d says the New York Herald, \u201cSpain raises the point that we have not conquered and occupied any other portion of the Islands, to which the United States retort that we could have done so and can do so now, but it is not necessary.Heroin lies the hitch to untwist which patience, good temper and diplomacy must bend their forces.\u201d thought them spearmen, for we were within 300 yards and they had fired no shot.Suddenly, as the regiment began to trot, they opened a heavy, severe and dangerous fire.Only one course Was now possible.The trumpet sonnded right wheel into line,\u2019 and on the instant the regiment begtn to gallop in exoellent order toward the riflemen.The distance was shert, but before it was half covered it wai evident that the riflemen were b it a trifle compared to what lay behind.la a deep fold of the S[round\u2014complete!} concealed by its peculiar ormation\u2014a lone, tenae, white maaa of men became visible, lu leng b they were nearly equal to our front.They were about twelve deep.It was undoubtedly a complete sur- Eriae for us.What followed probably aston-hed them ae much I do not myself believe that they ever ixpected the cavalry to come on.The Lancira acknowledge the unexpected sight only ly an increase of pace.A desire to have the necessary momentum to drive through so aolii a line animated each man.But the wholeaffdr wae a matter of seconds.\u201cAt full gallop and in the closest order th« squadron struck tbi Dervish mass.The riflemen, who fired bnvely to the last, were brushed head over hesla into the khor.And with them the Lanctrs jumped actually on the speare of the eneny, whose heads were scarcely level with thi horses\u2019 knees.\u201cThe Dervi-hes stotd their ground manfully.They tried to hamatring the horses.They fired their rifles, pressing ihsir muzzles into the very bodies ol their opponents.They out bridle reins and strrup leathers.They would not budge till tley were knocked over.They stabbed aud haded with savage pertinacity.Many horaea |ecked on landing or stumbled in the press tod the man that fell waa pounced ou by a dxen meroilesa foes.\u201cThe regiment brokt completely through the line everywhere, leaving alxty Dervishes dead and many wonndad in their track.A hundred and fifty yaria away they halted, rallied and in less than five minutes were reformed and ready for a second charge.The men were anxious to cut their way back through their euemies.But some realization of the cost of that ridt began to come to ue all,' Riderless horses galloped across the plain.Men dinging m to their saddles, lurched helplissly about, covered with blood from perhaps a dozes wounds.Horses streaming from tremendous gaahea limped and ataggered with tieir riders.In one hundred and twenty reconda five officers, eixty-aix men aud one hundred and nineteen horaea out of ieaa than three hundred, had been killed or wounded.\u201cYou know my luck in these things.As on another occasion in rho Indian Frontier I came safe through\u2014oaa of the very few officers whose saddlery, clothes or horse were untouched, and, without any incident that is worth while putting down here.\u201cOne impression only will I record.I remember no sound.The whole event seemed to pass in absolute silence.The yells of the enemy, the shouts of the soldiers, the firing of many shots, the clashing of sword and spiar were unnoticed by the senses, unregistered by the brain.Others say the same Perhaps it is possible for the whole of a man\u2019s faculties to be concentrated in eye, bridle-hand and trigger finger, an4 withdrawn from all ( ther parte of the body.\" HOUSE TuRNISHING ! \u2014AND\u2014™ Builders\u2019 Hardware.[Upper Town STS.I Lowor Town «« New Fall Hoods JTTST

have to be taken that Canadian interests I are not sacrificed in the settlement arrived at.This is particularly true of trade matters.The knowledge that a reciprocity treaty was likely to be proposed caused unexpected agitation amongst many of our people, who are up in arms against the inclusion of several lines of goods in which e trust that the announcement may not be true, that a Lottery Company doing business under a charter granted by the Quebec Legislature in 1894, intends open, ing up business in Montreal shortly.Report has it that drawings are to be held monthly, and the plan to bo followed is the one which was adopted by the old Louisiana Lottery.It is said that the Company is composed of a syndicate of Canadians and Americans, who claim that they can carry on the business safely under the charter which they have from the Local Government.A writer in our contemporary Events very properly remarks, much upon the same line as this paper has always followed :\u2014\u201cI do not know what legal rights they may have, but I do know that a lottery has no moral right to exist anywhere.It does good to no one, brings misery to many, and tiaches a love of gambling that must work to the detriment of society in general.It is to be hoped that the matter will be looked into, and if possible, the scheme nipped in the.bud.\u201d Backache is almost immediatfly'relieved by wearing one of Carter1* Smart Weed and Belladonna Backache Plaster*.Try one and be free from pain.Price 25 cent*._____________ m.w.fn&w Fancy Striped Skirts \u2014Good width and nice patterns, only 88a, $1.00, $1.38.Black Dress Skirts\u2014Figured Alpaca, extra wide width, at $3.68 and $3.78.IJBWBLLBR, 84 FABRIQUE STREET, Opposite the City Hall JEWELLER, 34 FABRIQUE STREET, Opposite the City Hall.Cold Storage Vs.Ordinary Cargo Room.Prof.Robertson in his report says : \u2014\u201cOne shipment of apple* was sent forward with 337 packages, sent in cold storage ; and 116 packages sent a* ordinory cargo.The fruit arrived in good condition.The apples shipped in cold storage were of the Baldwin, Ribeton Pippin, Cranberry Pippin and Northern Spy varieties, and were wrapped in paper.They were reported as sound and firm on arrival.The same varieties shipped aa ordinary cargo and packed in the same way arrived in fair condition, but were reported aa \u2018not so solid and firm aa the apples shipped in cnldatorage, and allowing some signs of early decay.\u2019 W here a spot or scab existed, signs of decay were seen under the akin.\u201cAll the fruit from the cold storage on the steamship, while sound and firm, showed moisture on the Hitfare when removed from the cold storage ; while tho fruit shipped as ordinary cargo in the hold cf the vessel was quite dry, hut not so firm uud solid as the other.The rnois.ure was no doubt produced by condensai ion from the air by the fudden change of temperature.\u201cWhen fruit is removed from cold etorage to warm moist atmosphere, the coses should be left closed until the fruit has become gradually warmed up to near the temperature of the air.\u201d Serge Skirts\u2014In Black and Navy, extra wide, for $3.60 and $4.10.Lndies\u2019 Fancy Bows-Latest styles and very effective, only 42c., 45a, 55c., 88c Sash Belts Our All Sales STRICTLY CASH Are most fashionable.The latest ^ I is a seven inch ribbon that narrows to one inch and is held with I a small clasp of gold or silver.The ribbons come in plaids, J checks, stripes and dots.\t^ The prices of these belts range ^ from 16.00 to $80 00, we have $ I less expensive kinds in metal, # J Watch Prices.» LADIES* WATCHES.Solid Silver, $10 to $15.Solid Gold, $25 to $75.GENTLE MEN S WATCHES.Solid Silver, $15 to $20.Solid Gold, $50 to $125.We have a number of Swiss Watches, in all sizes, that we are SIMONS&MINGUY SUCCESSORS TO Simons & FohI4s,|q SEIFERT,!6- SEIFERT- oxydised and gilt.\t«offerinsrat a considerable reduo- Ihere are Sash Neck Ribbons, F\tw with Clasps to match the Belts ^ a 20 Fabrique Street.Now, you must keep nothing from me,\u201d Mid a lawyer, inveetigating a client\u2019s *tory.\u201cI haven\u2019t.I paid yon every penny I had in the world for your retainer.\u2019 TO CURB A OOLD IN ONB DAY.Take Laxative Bçomo Quinine Tablet*.AU Druggists refund the money if it fail* toIOure* 26c.October 13,1899.Q U B B B O October 3,1898.JBWBLLBB, 34 FABRIQUE STREET.Oppoaite the City HoU.October 8,1398.i A A * JBWBLLBB, 84 FABRIQUE STREET Opposite the City HoU\u2019 é ip HE MORNIHG' CH.RO!fli3jEj__FRIPAY2__OCTOBER^j4j__1898.&&&&& 'ühuu HENRY MORGAN & CO.,!

cable from London says :\u2014\u201cThe stock markets here were stagnant to-day, being de moralized by the rise in the discount rate of Bank of England from 3 to 4 per cent ; this changed rate surprised the market generally It is believed that politics is the principal cause of a rise in the rate, but I have leason to believe that a more potent factor is the endeavor to suppress a repetition of growth of German finance bills in this market.If the Bank rate had not been changed,the opening market rates wcuid have given way considerably.It is also learned that Bank is taking steps to make the present rate effective by borrowing from the market until Nov 4 at 3 per cent.Americans were the onlv market showing any firm tendency to day.New York buying has given a gen eral fillip and prices closed quite at tbe best.Northern Pacific being chiefly in favor.At the meeting of Grand Trunk of Canada to-day the chairman stated that negotiations with the Canadian Pacific for a restoration of local rates had prove 1 abortive, the reason being that the Canadian Pacific wished to dissociate the Grand Trunk from connection with American lines in the matter of through business.These were conditions to which the Grand Trunk could not cousent.In the weekly statement of Bank of England coin and bullion shows a decrease of $5ôl,000, although $170,000 net in gold was ex ported for tbe week, the rest having gone into home circulation.The decline of over 4*1,G00, 000 m Government securities partly indicates further borrowing by the Bank.The movement in other securities is confused by cross en tries.Further evidence in the Bank\u2019qborrowing is shown by the decrease of £1,250,01)0 in other de Doe its.The reserve decreased £100,000.De tails of gold movement for the week show the export of £150,000 to Egypt, of £20,000 to a quarter not stated, of £35,0)0 to China, and of £5,000 to Calcutt », the sale of £14,000 in bar gold and the receipt of £45,000 from Australia The London discount market was unsettled at a sharp advanci.Continental discounts and exchange moved up.Spinish Exchange on London is lower at 38.25 against 39.20 last week.The Paris and

York, Oct 13\u2014The advance in prices in to-day\u2019s stock market was even mo*e significant of the improved tone of speculative senti mint than that of yesterday.For one reason this was true, because quite a large short iuter est was eliminated from the market by yeiter-day\u2019s advance and the urgent demand from that interest satisfied.For another reason there were several factors that might have been utilized by tbe bears in the day\u2019s developments and which would have been promptly seized as grounds for selling stouks on recent reactionary temper of market The depression in the foreign market was so marked as to suggest some knowledge of pending political complications or deeper financial currents.Not once was this indicated by hea* iness of securities, a fall of 5-16 in British consols and of 15 centimes in French rentes, but in the excited conditions of foreign wheat market.The opening m Wall street bought orders to sell 15,000 shares or upwards of stocks for London account.The bears did in fact avail themselves of this opening to make a drive against tobacco, sugar, and Northern Pacific, the confident manner which all offerings both for London and the short account were made, took all tbe assurance out of bears and they made no aggressive move with the exception of one drive against tobacco during the remainder of day.An exceedingly significant feature of the day\u2019s trading was the investment made for small lots of gilt-edge stocks.There were conspicuous movements of this sort in Ht Paul preferred, Pullman Great Northern preferred, Manitoba, St Paul and Gmaba preferred and Pennsylvania.The advance in Pullman, Manitoba and Great Northern preferred extended from 3$ to 4J per cent, and Manitoba closed with a bid seven per cent higher than last night's dose.Call loans were made at 2 per cent to-day, and thejm is a constant increase in supply of money offerings both for time loans and mercantile paper.Short sterling was slightiy firmer in tone in response to the advance in Bank of England rate.A small engagement of gold for import was without influence in sentiment.Tbs clay\u2019s net gains eaual a point for many stocks.Prices closed

Pacific.It fell on 1 per cent as compared with the close yesterday afternoon.Toronto Kails also lost ground very slightly and Montreal Street ad-vane d.The principal piece of news from the outside was the advance of the Bank of England rate of discount from 3 to 4 p-r cent.The effect of this course, it is pointed out, will be to cause dullness in London, the influence of which must bs felt in New York and Montreal.The fact that Canadian Pacific fell off J of a pound in London is partially attributed to this cause.Ifthereceht depression failed to shake out stocks in Montreal, it will be interesting to note the effect of the advance, which seems to be due.Home brokers express the opinion that it would lead to more trading, as consider- TELEPHONE \u201cThe queen of table waters.\u201d
