and also to make provision for a new joint issue of stock and bonds over the whole length of the said united Railway, and to authorize such an extension and change in the line ax may be found most suitable for making connection with the wharves at Levis, and to extend the time for the completion of the said Levis & Kentebec Rail way to the Maine frontier, and for other purposes.\u2014The visible supply of Grain comprising the stocks in granary at the principal points of accumulation at lake and seaboard ports, and on rail from Western lake and river ports and frozen in the New York canals, for the periods mentioned were as follows :\u2014 1879.1880.1881.March 2).March 27.March 26.Wheat, bu.19,314,257 24,226,709 21,413,143 Corn, bu.13,008,969 16,5488 4,295,889 Oats, bu.2,430,280 - 2,903,704 3,384,643 Barley, bu.2,885,656 2,227,583 2,139,201 Rye, bu.1,180,439 68 498 522.433 Total, bu.38,819,601 46,660,392 41,755,314 The receipts at the seaboard ports for the week ending March 26 were considerably larger than for the Week preceding, the increase in wheat being over 300,000 bushels, and of Corn 774,000 bushels.\u2014At a meeting at Merrickville, Ont., the following resolmtion was unanimously adopted :\u2014* That this meeting does hear- by approve of the scheme to construct a railway from Moose Creek Station, on the Ottawa gnd Coteau, to the Village of Smith\u2019s Falls, on the Canada Central, passing through the Villages of Chrysler, West Winchester, Hallville, Kemptville, Burritt®s Rapide, and Merrickville ; believing that the contemplated railway will be highly advantageous to the municipalities through which it passes, embracing as it does a magnificent Fection of the country, and placing the inhabitauts in direct communication with Boston via Coteau Landing and the West and Canada Pacific Railway, we pledge ourselves to use every exertion to further the undertaking.\u201d FINANCIAL.The report of the Montreal Gas Cor\u201d pany, presented to the shareholders to-day, is on the whole satisfactory.Allowance, of course, is made for the unusually hard winter which we have just passed through, entailing on the Company an increased expenditure compared with previous years, when the winter season has been less severe and trying.The profits for the year, after allowing for bad and doubtful debis, were $208,040, out of which two commodation to mercantile borrowers is moderate, and good commercial bills are readily negotiable at 6 @ 7 per cent., as to name and date.Call and time loans on acceptable collaterals are in fair request at 5/@ 6 per cent.The market for Sterling Exchange is quiet, and the transactions almost nil at 8§ premium for round amounts of sixty-day bills between banks, and 8}?@ 8} cash over the counter, Drafts on New York are drawn at } @ $ premium.The Stock market was dull, but on the whole steady, Montreal sold at 184$ up to the late trade, when a few shares were placed lower at 184}, the closing quotations being 184} bid, 184$ asked.Ontario changed hands in small amount at 102, and closed at 1014 @ 102}.A few shares of Molsons commanded 108$ at the first Call, and Merchants 119.Commercé sold in consider able amount at 143 @ 143}.Montreal | Telegraph, Richelieu, and City Passenger were dull, but a shade firmer, no transactions taking place.City Gas sold down from 147 to 1453 ex-dividend.The transactions were :\u2014 MORNING BOARD.Montreal, 15 @ 184};

failures thronghout the United States and Canada, received during the past week, give a total of 112, the smallest number for any week during the past two months.For the preceding week there were 133.The improvement is generally distributed over the Middle, New England aud Western States, while in the South there has been a slight increase.In the Middle States, during the week, there were 30 failures, à decrease of 9; in New York, 14, a decrease of 6 ; in Pennsylvania, 10, a de- erease of 5, and in New Jersey, 6, an in- çrease of 2.In the New England States there were 13, a decrease of 8.The Western States had 20, a decrease of 10.In the Southern States there was an increase from 31 to 34 failures.Canada and the Provinces show 15, an increase of 3.- The Canadian failures were mostly all unim portant, and there is no doubt that individual credit stands deservedly high.If business is conducted on safe conservative principles failures in this country for the next few years may be reduced to a minimum.But we fear that the return of prosperity, after a long period of severe commercial depression, will tempt many into the dangerous paths of speculation and overtrading, which have but one ending.So far the evidences of this form of commercial evil and imprudence have been few and far between.THE SEAL OIL TRADE.The private advices from the Seal fisheries continue to be of a very discouraging character, and unless a change takes place very soon, the catch will have to be set down as very small, if notan entire failure.Strong] and continuous north-east winds, so some of the letters received hy the trade here run, have blocked the sealing fleet in White and Gree Bays.The result of these reports has been to greatly strengthen the market here, and to establish a considerable advance on the prices which have been current since the New Year.For instance, a month ago Steam Refined was quoted at 65c @ 662, and to-day holders are asking 75c @ 76c per Imperial gallon.The sale of a round lot of Straw Seal has been put through to-day at about 57c, but holders are asking more now.The stock of Seal Oil of all kinds in this market is very small, and estimated at net over 650 barrels.Of course, more favourable re ports from the fisheries later on would materially change the aspect of affairs, and it is too early yet to predict a failure of the catch, though a falling off at present seems extremely probable.KINGSTON LOCOMOTIVE WORKS.The syndicate of Montreal and Kingston capitalizts, we undersiand, that purchased the plant of the Kingston Locomotive Works a few days ago, on Saturday paid over the amount of the purchase money through Mr.Geo.A.Kirkpatrick, M.P., President pro tem., and the new Company assumed control today.Mr.Wm.Harty, Kingston, has left for the United States to secure the services of à competent superintendent.The works of the old Company are to be equipped with the most complete machinery.A meeting of the promoters o the new Company is to be held in this city on the 12th instant to finish the arrangements for organization.It is understood tt at the new works will be able to turn out an engine per week.THE MONTREAL GAS COMPANY.ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Montreal Gas Company was held yesterday afternoon at the works in Ottawa St.Mr.Jesse Joseph, the President of the Board of Directors, occupied the Chair, aud there was a large attendance of shareholders.The following report of the Directers was read and its adoption moved by the President :\u2014 The Directors have pleasure in submitting to the shareboiders their report of the Company\u2019s affairs for the year ending 28th February, 1881.; \u2018The net profits of the 12 months, after allowing for bad and doubtful debts, amount to $208,040.96, from which have been paid and declared two dividends of five per cent.each, amounting to $187,446.43, leaving a balance of $20,594.53 to be added to the Rest,which now amounts to $122,929.92.The ex:reme cold weather, without the usual quantity of snow at the early part of the winter, has caused a great number of breaks and obstructions to our mains and services, and inconvenience to constimiers, unprecedented in the experience of this Company, and has ler! to increased expense, as compared with previous years.The Company\u2019s works at both stations are in an eflicient and satisfactory state.The quality and illuminating power of the gas 1s maintained above the standard required by law.During the year the outlay for street main extensions has been inconsiderable.Your Directors bave lately erected, at both stations, at a cost of about $3,800, works for the manufacture of sulphate of ammonia, upon the latest and most approved principle, for the disposal ¢f one of tue by-pro- ducts\u2014and they ara now workiug satisfactorily ; and the Directors louk forward to realizing ther from a larger revenue than they have hitlierto done.The Directors have much satisfaction in reporting a steady improvement in the affairs of the Company, and in the future they look for a continued increase in the consumption of gas, in keeping with the general prosperity of trade.Your Directors take pleasure in testifying that all the officers of the Company have discharged their various duties to the satisfaction of the Board.The following Directors retire by rotation, but are eligible for re-election: Messrs.Jesse Joseph, br.G.W.Campbell and Dr.W.Macdonald.The whole respectfully submitted, Jk88R JosEPH, President.Montreal, 28th February, 1881.of gas made for the year 1880-81 was 192, 588,000 feet, of that 153,106,000 feet had been acconnted for, leaving unaccounted for 39,481,000 feet; or about 20} per cent.for condeneation and leakage.That was an improvement upon previous years, for in 1878 the propor tionwaa 27 per cent.,and in 1879 25 per cent., notwithstanding that they had had so many leakages during the past few montha,caused by the terrific frosts there had been.That Company had suffered quite as much as the Corporation had in the way of breakage of the pines.Though the water-pipes were at an immense depth the Corporation had been considerably annoyed in this matter, and 80 had this Company.Mr.Joux CRAWFORD asked how this improvement in the matter of the leakage had been effected ?The PRESIDENT replied by the establieh- ment of a plan of boring for leaks.They had established a regularly organized system of searching for leaks, and in that way they had discovered many which they had stopped.It was done by drilling at the junctions of the pipes every 12 feet with steel angers, when, if there was a leak 1t was soon discovered with a match and remedied.| Mr.Borrox asked for informatioi as to the nuinber of consumers ?The PRESIBENT replied that, on account of the great depression in trade in 1877, they Jost 156 metres, in 1878, 381 metres, and 1879, 255 metres.That was due not only to people who failed in business or gave up housekeeping, but because many persona had given up the use of gas, and taken to coal oil from motives of economy.In 1880 they increased by 188 meters, which had been a large increase, because the meters were large ones, and the prospect was that, with the improvement in trade, they would continue to send out more meters.Mr.CRAWFORD asked if the Company had sold any land last year?The PRESIDENT replied that they had not, but they were in negotiation to sell a small piece for the railway; but it had uot been closel nor had the price been fixed.It would be sold and the money paid before next year.There was no special inquiry for their land at the present time, but their prospects regarding it were very good.He might explain that, in addition to the assets mentioned in the balance sheet, they had anasset that did not appear, aud of which they made no valuation.It was a piece of land of 600,000 feet in the rear of the works and running up to Sherbrooke street.That land was valuable in so far as it was in the neighbourhood of the railways; in fact the railways, the North-Shore and the \u2018\u2018 Grand Pacific,\u201d could not, move in that part of the city without treading upon their heels, so that he thought the land from its position was valuable.Then they had another piece of land, more valuable still, bounded on the north by St.Mary street, and on the south by the railways and the harbour.There was now ithe Grand Trunk Railway running, and the Occidental were desirous to run a line parallel to the Grand Trunk, and between their land and the railway.The land was especially well situated, being in the vicinity of the harbour and the wharves, and there was a greater depth of water, 26 feet opposite, than probably in any other part of the harbour.That land was about 60,000 feet.1f they found a purchaser for it, the proceeds would be an asset at the disposal of the stockholders, Mr.CRAWFORD asked for an approximate estimate of the value of these Jands ?Tue PRESIDENT explained that some of the land in the neighbourhood of their works had been sold for 20 cents, and they bought some for that in the times of the \u2018\u201c boom,\u201d and sold it at 15 cents to the railroad.Some of the Hogan estate also had been sold at 15 cents.He would take the 600,000 feet at ten cents, à minimum value, and it would realise $60,000 ; the lands in front of the Harbour he estimated at 75 cents, which would realise some £50,000, making some $110,000 as the minimum value.If they were offered that price to-morrow it would be a question whether they would accept it or not.À STOCKHOLDER asked whether the 600,- 000 feet was independent of the streets ?Tue PRESIDENT replied that it was.Then, when the works were first built, they provided for the future, which had proved to be one of the great difficulties felt in -Lon- don, in Paris, Boston, and Liverpool,where they had not looked forward.They had laid out five acres of land for their buildings, which were so arranged that there was plenty of room.The distance between their buildings was about as wide as a street, which afforded great freedom of access and lessened the danger trom fire.Mr.AxpErsoy asked whether the introduction of the gas stoves had been a success?Tae PRESIDENT replied that it had, but like all other new things people wanted Lo know from their neighbours how far they had been successtul before they purchased.There were a great many prejudices about getting rid ot the ranges, but he thought they had overcome them, and that they had the prospect of disposing of a large number.There had been, of course, certain expenses connected with their introduction.Advertising anything new was always attended with considerable expense at the outset, but they had been pretty liberal in that matter.They had established a place in St.James street where they had been on exhibition for a long time.They had got specimens of these stoves from Kuropeand the United States, and he believed that they could say that they were producing the best gas stoves out.They were made in the es tablishment ; they required to be made with a good deal of care and skill and economy.They were sold at as nearly cost price as possible, their great object being to increase the consumption of the gas.There were about 200 of them in operation, and very few Companies had been so |.successful as they had been.In answer to Mr.Anderson, The PRESIDENT said that they could manufacture the stoves much more economically than they could get them made elsewhere.Mr.CRAWFORD was glad the plan had been s0 successful, but believed that great numbers of people had never heard of them.He recommended the appointment of an agent to canvass for their sale, The PRESIDENT thought the success attained good, but pointed out that it took time to introduce them, because persons were not prepared at once to change their ranges.Mr.CLARK asked if there had been amendments made in the Charter, and if 80, what ?The PRESIDENT said that they went to Parliament two years ago, and they got an extension of the charter for 25 years, which would last for 42 years from now.There was another amendment reducing the number of Directors.The rule betore was that there should not be less than nine, nor more than twelve, and it had been altered to not less than seven, nor more than nine.There were now eight.Mr.CRAWFORD supposed the reason no reduction was recommended in the report, was thut, owing to the report that had been gent in asto the sanitary Condition of the street, they did not want to lose the two professional men they had on the Board.The PRESIDENT replied that it was not for the Board to make any recommendations as to a reduction.I1'the stockholders wished to reduce the number notice could be given at one annual meeting and the matter couid be discussed at the next.The Directors bad informally considered the matter, but the difficulty was as to the quorum of five.Mr.CrawrorD asked what the Company was going to do with reterence to the protest that had been sent about bad and poisonous smells from the works ?Mr.ANDERSON thought it would not be well to discuss this matter there.The less said about it the better.The PRESIDENT said be was quite prepared to make a statement of the eircum- stances, if the stockholders desired it.Mr.CRAWFORD thought it better to have an explanation.Dr.G.W.CAmPBRLL did not think there should be any concealments in public com- pauiies.The PRESIDENT said that there had been a great deal in the papers about the peti- tion, but the payers were not always cer Mr.R.BOLTON asked for information as! rest, for ihey could only put in matters as to the amount of loss by condensation and evaporation of the gas during the year ?they were told to them.The facts were these: The Gas Company had been eatab- there by the permission of the Corporation and by the terms of their charter.The property then was of low value, and people ad built round the works, but they did so at their own risk, and because they got the land eheap.The Company had & private drain, but they were re irinz it, and so he applied personallÿ to Mr.Analey, the City Surveyor, for permission to drain into the Dalhousie street sewer.Mr.Ansley said there could be no objection.There was uo refuse in their drainage ; the water was as pure and clear as a person need drink.That permission was not given in writing, and after people found that they were draining into Dalhousie street they objected and complained, and the moment he found it out he stopped it.He told the engineer it was no use annoying the neighbours, and, since, they had used their own drain.There was another question arose, whether they had not the right to use that drain; he did not propose to do so,but onlv as showing that the Corporation was putting itself in & false position, because it built the drain and the Company gave 8900 of the cost.If the Corporation made any difficulty, at any rate it should give them back their $900.But the drain had nothing to do with the matter, it was the sulphate works, and sulphate works, like all chemical works, sometimes caused a smell, more or less.A certain amount of sulphuric acid gas was caused, but he was told by persons competent to give an opinion, that that was very healthy.: Dr, G.W.CampsELL\u2014Y es.The PRESIDENT, continuing, eaid all manufacturing districts were exposed to such things.The lead and other works there were far more poisonous ; but nobody complained about them, and he thought the Corporation could not find fault with what they were doing.If the Corporation wanted them to remove their works, and would give them $1,500, 000, they] jwould be glad to go; but then they would be a nuisance to somebody else.The sulphate was made alter nately at their works and only for eight or ten days aL a time.There was no refuse sent into the drains; there was the surface-water wliich carried a little ammonia from the coal, but that was not objectionable, Mr.Ansley and the Health Officer were to inspect the drains and see for themselves.Dr, CAMPBELL said that ammonia was well-known as the best disinfectant there wag, but like most chemicals, the gas complained of was not pleasant; it had a pungent smell.He added, it would kill diphtheria and bad smells.If the ammouoiacal liquor were run intothe drains it would cause a tremenduous nuisance.There was only one way of preventing that, and that was by converting it into a chemical salt, which was sold in England, and called sulphate of ammonia.Through the process of heating, this ofien- sive liquor, which would be a great nuisance run into the drains, and which, in the infancy of gas works, was run into drains, was converted into the sulphate of ammonia.À STuCKHOLDER mentioned that when he was at the Centennial he paid $5 for a re cipe to preserve meats by sulphates.The PRESIDENT considered that that neighbourhood was about the healthiest part of Griltintown, and all their men said there was no sickness about gas works.They had men who had been there for twenty years, and they were stronger now than younger men who were recently started, and men who had been in 1]! health had found benefit from working there.This matter then dropped.A STOCKHOLDER asked what the Chair man\u2019s views were as to the electric light ?The PRESIDENT stated that he had watched the matter very closelv for the past three years in England, France and the United States, and Le found that one great drawbacl to its use was its great expense.The only light that he had seen introduced in the city was at the Grand Trunk Workshops, where they had no gas, and where they would have gone to any expense ghat was necessary.Then there were the 16 lights on the wharves.They used the engine of the Government, and he believed the cost, although he could not ascertain the exact amount, was about $4,000 a year.If that were so, they could easily ecalculate how much it would cost to light the city where they had nearly 90 miles of streets, whilst these 16 electric lights only served about three-quarters of a mile.At present they had 1,623 gas-lamps, and received from the citv$24,000.In London, England, the Cor poration had paid some £5,000 sterling for less than a littl over a mile of electric light, and he did not think the city of Montreal would be disposed to indulge in such an expensive luxury.As to the effect upon gas stocks by the electric light, he found, from the American Gas- \u2018light Journal, that on January 17, Manhattan stock stood at 165 bid and 170 asked; and Metropolitan 130 and 135 asked.On February 16, Manhattau was at 182, and on April 2, at 180.Mr.CRAWFORD hoped that there would be a reduction in the price of gas; and trusted that the Board would see their way, consistent with fair returns to the shareholders, to reduce it, as he would like to ses it at $1.50.The PRESIDENT pointed out that great care was required to be exercised in such matters as a reduction, because a reduction of 10 cents on a consumption of 200,- 000,000 feet was $20,000.When the Board could see its way to give a reduction, it would do so, because it was its policy to make gas popular.Mr.H.Lyuay expressed the opinion that there was no danger to the Gas Comnies from the competition of the electric Fight, on the ground principally ot its great expense.The report was adopted nem con, and after the retiring Director\u2019s had been reelected, the meeting adjourned.\u2014 tle ee RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS, The liability of a husband for debts contracted by his wife on his credit, for clothing and other goods for herself and their children, was decided in the House of Lords in the recent case of Debenham us, Mellon.The action was for £43 9s.6d., for clothing supplied in 1877, and both the husband and the wife testified that in 1869 he had forbidden her to use his credit, and that he had given her from that time an annual sum for clothing for herself and the children, but it was admitted that the plaintiff had no notice of the prohibition.The trial Judge directed a verdict for the defendant, and judgment was entered thereon ; the judgment was affirmed in the Court of Appeal, and the case then went to the House of Lords.The Lord Chancellor (Selborne) said :\u2014\u201c The mete fact of a marriage does not imply a mandate by law making the wife (who cannot herself contract, unless so far ns she may have a separate estate), the agent in law for the hus band, to bind him and to pledge his credit, by what otherwise might be her own contract if she were a single woman.All the authorities show that there is nosnch mandate in law, except in the particular case of necessity, a necessity which, perhaps, prima facie, may arise when the husband has deserted the wife, or compelled her to live apart from him, without properly providing for her, but which, when the husband aud wife are living together, cannot be said ever, prima facie, to arise, because if, in point of fact, sheis maintained, there is in that state of circumstances no prima Jacie evidence that the husband is neglecting to discharge his proper duty, or that there can be any necessity for the wife to run him into debt for the purpore of keeping herse\u2019f alive or supplying herself with necessary clothing.\u201d \u201cWhether, therefore, a wife, living with her husband, is in actual need of food and clothing for herrelf and the children, is a question of fact to be determined by the jury upon the evidence.The question of temperate and intemperate habits, under a policy of Life Insurance, was considered in the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company vs.Reif, in the Supreme Court of Ohio, on the 22nd ultimo.The application contained the following questions and answers :\u2014¢¢ Q\u2014 Has the party whose life is to be insured ever been intemperate?A.\u2014No, Q.\u2014Is the party now of correct and temperate habits?A.\u2014Yes;\u201d and the policy of insurance was to be void if either of these answers was false or untrue, J udge Johnson, in the opinion, said: \u2018\u2018 These questions and answers refer to the habits of the subject of the insurance as to the use casional practices; and if his usual or general habits were to abstain, or to use in moderation, an occasional indulgence to excess does not render the answers false or untrue.But it is not necessary to the existence of intemperate habits that the excessive use of intoxicating liquor should be continuous and daily.\u201d\u2014Bradstreet\u2019s.THE EXPORT GRAIN TRADE The month of March gave promise of increased activity and prosperity in the shipments of Grain, and shippers, mer chants, speculators and dealers in Grain are preparing for the demand from Europe.Itis confidently expected that the shipments of Grain for the summer months will be larger by several millions of bushels than that of any preceding year.During the month of March the shipments of Grain trom the port of New York amounted to 6,645,712 bushels, as follows :\u2014 4,043,343 bushels of Wheat.2,514,036 bushels of Corn.88,333 bushels of Rye.To carry this large amount of Grain across the ocean the services in whole or part of 173 vessels were required.These included 92 steamers, 12 ships, 68 barques, and one trig.A remarkable feature of the trade is the large number of steamers now carrying Grain to Europe.All steamers, both of the regular and outside lines, iu- cluding passenger steamers, carry Grain.The following nationalities are represented : British steamers.73 French steamers.British ships.11 French barques.British barques.21 Portuguese barques Norwegian ships.1 German steamers.Norweg'n barques 18 Belgian steamers.Italian steamers.1 Danish steamers.Italian barques.16 Dutch steamers.Austrian barques.7 Austrian brigs.1 Swedish barques.4 It will be thus seen that the Stars and Stripes are not represented.WESTERN PORK-PACKING- The Cincinnati Price Current publishes its thirty-second annual report of pork-pack- ing in the West for the winter and year ending March 1, showing for the winter a total of 6,916,456 Hogs packed, being 30, 995 less than for the preceding winter, The tocal for the twelve months 1s 12,243,354, showing an increase of 1,241,665.The winter's average is 207 71-100 pounds, against 212 94-100 pounds last year.The average yield per hog of Lard is 35 65-100 against 56 62-100 last winter.The reduction in the number and weight during the winter is equivalent to 200,000 Hogs of the average of a year ago.The amount of Mess Pork made during the winter is 359,- 691 barrels, a reduction of 170,867 barrels.The prospect for supplies of Hogs for the summer season is regarded as considerably below last year up to June, but beyond that time as not varying much from last year.\u2014\u2014,\u2014 OHIO\u2019S WHEAT CROP.Despatches from about 100 points in Ohio, regarding the Wheat crop prospects, show a general increase in acreage ranging from 10 to 25 per cent., though there is a slight falling off in a few sections.The winter has been favourable to a large yield, though the present snow is regarded with apprehension if followed by a sharp frost, as has been predicted.\u201d If no frost follows, this snow-storm is considered advantageous.On the lake border the March frosts have done considerable damage in some places.The crop in the southern part of the State is backward, but promises well, and the acreage is very largely increased.In Central Ohio the increase of acreage is from 10 to *5 per cent., and the crop 1s in good condition, PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.MONTREAL, April 4.The Flour trade continues quiet and without special feature.The demand is pretty dull, but values notwithstanding are fairly steady.Holders\u2019 views, however, are rather above those of buyers, who are not anxious.to enter the market, or disposed to stock up except at concessions which sellers would not make.The sales on Change to-day include Superior Extra at $5.35, Spring Extra at $5.10, Medium Bakers\u2019 at $5.40, Strong Bakers at $5.75, and Ontario Bags a.$2.60 @ $2.70.The improvement noted in the tone of the English Grain markets Saturday, was more Ot i 00 | WLS 3 8 » = pa a than

strong, and closed $c @ fc higher at $1.01} @ 101$ April, $1.06} May, $1.064 July, 97§cyear.The movements of Grain during the week ending March 26, the latest date for which full reports kave been received, resulted in effecting some decided changes, prominent among which was a reduction in the visible supply of over 2,700,000 bushels.This was caused partly by a falling off in the receipts at Western lake and river ports, and partly hy increased shipments to foreign ports.The heavy reductions in the receipts at water ports was the direct result of the enow blockade, which retarded or entirely stopped for a time the running of freight trains.Since the date to which the statistics are brought down, traffic has again been resumed, and as there is a vory large quantity of Wheat still to come forward, the receipts for some time to come may be expected to be unusually large, especially at Cnicago and Milwaukee.The latest reports respecting the Winter Wheat crop in Ohio and Indiana are very favourable, the acreage being unusually large, and the Wheat looking very well.The planting of Spring Wheat in the North-West wiil unquestionably be somewhat late, but it is still too early to determine whether cr not the coming crop will be a good one.If the spring should be favourable, there is still plenty of time for an abundant harvest.The local Grain market continues quiet but steady.We hear of the sale of a cargo ot Lower Canada Peas for May delivery at 90c.We quote for May as follows :\u2014 Canada Red Winter, $1.24 @ $1.25; No.2 Canada Spring, $1.20 @ $1.23; Peas, 88c @

bush.Boston, April 8, FLOUR \u2014 The market is exceedingly dull.The flurry West in wheat, wherein an advance of 1}c was obtained on April, had no influence beyond strengthening receivers and jobbers, who have previously inclined to proffer slight concessions to induce trade.We quote car lots for cash Supers at $4 00 per bbl; low extras at $4 25 @ $4 50; Wisconsin common extras at $4 50 /@ $5 25; Minnesota at $4 75 @ $6; Ohio and Michigan at $5 50 @ $575; Indiapa at $5 650 @ $6 vo: St Louis and Southern Illinois at $6 00 @ $6 50, with now and then a brand sclling at a higher price ; winter wheat patents at $6 560 @ $7 75, and spring wheat do at $6 50 @ $8 00 per brl, with one or two brands at a higher price.OATS remain steady, with a better inquiry, inspired no doubt by the advance at Chicago.BUTTER\u2014The only noticeable feature of the day is the actual scarcity of spot lots of well.known and select brands of ladle- packed, or, as some term it, factory or imitation creamery.There is hardly anything in stock to-day that commands 22c, except as à jobbing price, while thero has been a fair lot of stock that buyers insist they shall select out of for 20e @ 21c, which concession has been granted.There has been a good deal of canvassing for the cheaper creamery lots that can be bought for about 30c, and to-day buyers of large lots asked over this price.\u2018l'his is, no doubt, a move to break the market a cent or two, and so long as enough good, sweet, fresh dairy can be had at 27c /@ 28c, buyers are given a powerful leverage.i EGGS are again lower, and close without noticable vita.ity.At the call they opened with the offer of 5 cases of Eastern extras at 17}c, and securing no attention; 10 cases were offered at 17c, and taken; 10 cases more were also taken at 17c.There were offers of 25 cases Canada firsts and 10 brls Tennessee do at 17c, and 20 bris Iowa do at 174c, without takers, and the call closed.During the day 17}c was asked in a jobbing way and obtained.BEANS are strong.The holders of strictly hand-picked stock, out of which the blasted and broken und the irregular have been culled, are refusing to sell cither pes or mediums in car lots for less than 82 15, while onc asks on a choice brand $2 25.Buyers to-day find the market with more tone than it has shown for two weeks, and are trying to patch out their wants on the sifted stock.Unculled in lots at $2 10 @ $2 15; yellow-eyes are not changed from 32 00 @ $2 15.Peas are weak at 75c @ $1 05.POTATOES are firmer.The cargo lots have been distributed, and railroad Wkites are looking up.Ja \u2018ksons toned up on the lowest to \u20ac0c, with more holding good stock fur 65c.Peerless have been \u2018pretty well sold out ; what remains is at 60c stiff for car lots.Prolifics are steady at 70¢.Aroostook Rose do better at the outside\u201475c @ 80c.Northern are strong at 70c @ 72c, and Houlton at 85c.Cabbages are moving quick ewing tu'a momentary short supply at $2 @ $2 75, while cargo turnips still hold the market down to 75c per brl.HAY\u2014The demand for the choice of timothy holds $23 as the outside, and we quote choice Eastern or Canada coarse at $21 50 /@ $23 ; other grades are neglected swale.Rye straw is strong at $25 @ $26 50, and oat at $13 @ $14.\u2014 Advertiser\u2014\u2014me re pres IMPORTS.FROM SEA, Per S85 Caspian, of Glasgow, Lieut B

Conservative standard- bearer happened to be a Roman Catholic.A poor excuse is perhaps better than none, but we fear our Ministerialist friends scarcely understand the logical sequence of the plea they put forward to account for their defeat.If the Gazette's contention be correct, then it follows that the rank and file of Conservative voters must be an intolerant set of men.Our contemporary contends that the Couservatives are in a majority in East Northomberland, yet rather than vote for Mr.Kennedy, they permitted the Liberal candidate to be elected.We doubt if the Conservatives of Northumberland will thank the Gazette for its reflections upon their intelligence or liberality; neither will the Ministerial party be strengthened by the admission that it is impossible to induce Protestant Conservatives to vote for a Roman Catholic Conservative candidate.But we do not believe that the question of religion had anything to do with the East Northumberland contest.Mr, Kennedy was defeated because he came out as a thick-and-thin supporter of the East Northumberland do not approve.Instead of being the cause of his defeat, we are inclined to think that Mr.Kennedy\u2019s religion was rather a source of strength to him, and in selecting him as their candidate the Conservatives exhibited a good deal of shrewdness.They were well aware and various other * indiscretions\u201d committed by the Macdonald Administration, had estranged a considerable number of electors from the Tory party.They -calculated that these losses would be made good if the whole Catholic vote of the Riding could be obtained for the Conservative candidate.The object of the Ministerialists, therefore, in selecting Mr.Kennedy as their standard-bearer was admittedly to secure the votes of hie co-religionists.That Mr.Kennedy received the votes of Catholics who otherwise would have voted for the Liberal candidate, is undoubtedly true.But our Conservative friends were a little out in their calculations, The reaction against the Government was grealer than could be overcome by the Catholic votes attracted by Nr.Kennedy\u2019s candidature, and the party suffered a disas trous defeat, For the Conservatives now to blame Mr.Kennedy\u2019s creed for the defeat is adding insult to injury ; when, ; | according to the showing of the party organs, Mr.Kennedy was betrayed by voters who usually vote the Tory ticket.If the Conservative leaders knew, as they ought to have known, that their followers could not be depended on to vote for Mr.Kennedy, they should not have allowed that gentleman to be sent to the slaughter in the way they did.But it is useless for the Tory organs to attempt to dis guise the fact that their defeat in Hast Northumberland was due solely to the unpopularity of the Macdonald Government.The Tory ¢ stalwarts\u201d rallied to a man to the support of Mr.Kennedy, but all the eloquence of Messrs.Plumb, Bowell, White, Merrick, Rykert, Coughlin, aud the rest could not persuade the honest, independent electors of the county into endorsing the Tupper Railway contract.Moreover, the stumping of East Northumberland by such an army as the above must have cost the party no small penny.Tory orators, it is well understood, do not live on oxygen alone.TURKEY AND GREECE.An Athens despatch conveys the intelligence that the Greek Government cannot accept the frontier offered by the Porte, that nobody in Athens anticipates a peaceful solution of the difficulty, and that everything is readiness for war: So strong is the war feeling said to be among the Greeks that no Government which made the slightest move towards compromise could stand twenty-four hours.The Sulian, meanwhile, is massing his forces on the frontier, and has his flee; ready to blockade and bombard the Greek ports the moment hostilities break out, The Greeks appear confident that the Powers must interfere and secure the fulfil\u201d ment of the conditions of the Berlin treaty, and have asked that Turkey be preventeq from sending war ships into Greek waters The Greek Commander Sontze recently told a newspaper correspondent that war was inevitable unless the Powers interfered promptly and with energy.He said :\u2014 * We are prepared, aud we must do ow: « duty.This is imposed upon us by th* \u201c\u201c honour of an acquired right, and by the «frightful sufferings of our oppressed ¢ brethren.We count, however, upon \u201c two great advantages\u2014the present dis- \u2019tress of Turkey and the favour of the \u2018* provinces adjudged to us.On their \u2018\u2018 borders Greece

FAITH.\u201d - eet ems Mc.B.F.Underwood delivered his last lecture in Queen's Hall, last evening, on the subject of \u201cThe New Science and the Old Faith,\u201d to an audience of some 500 persons.At the commencement he said he did not wish to extirpate Christianity except in its more intolerant and bigoted forms, and proceeded to criticise the attributes of God in the present accepted Theol 0gy.These, he said, were the attributes of man, and that God, as worshipped, is merely an expanded form of a man, with all his passions and feelings, and exists only in imagination.At the same time he admitted the existence ot a power controlling nature, who filled the universe, but was incomprehensible, He ridiculed the argument that dosign and Plan, in the structure of the universe and things, was proof of tne existence of the present conception of God, as the very idea of design and plan proved the Power claimed to be definite and subject to acquisition of knowledge, which does not correspond with the character, the power and -omniscience claimed for God.The physical Phenomena of the universe, and the phenc- mena of all animal and vegetable life and their developments did not, he said, require the presence of a creating or designing God to acceunt for them, as all were gradually evolved from combining forces and drcumstances.He attempted to explain the bevinning of matter from an atom to the formation ot worlds, and the evolution of man from a -mollusk.The lecturer towards the close referred to the sermon he heard in the same hall, on the previous evening, which he characterized as the most liberal sermons he ever heard and said the enlightened spirit shown by the preacher was much to be commended, and proceeded to criticize parts he did bot coincide in opinion with.At the close, hs invited discussion, which, at the call of many of the audience, brought np Bev.Mr.Bray, who briefly replicd The lecturer complained of being two roughly handled y bis, cierical opponent, and between the NOISY partisans of both aides a lively time Seemed imminent, but indications of turn og out the lights soon cleared the ball.ENGLISH WORKINGMEN'S BENEFIT SOCIETY.The regular

and also to make provision for a new joint issue of stock and bonds over the whole length of the said united Railway, and to authorize such an extension and change in the line ax may be found most suitable for making connection with the wharves at Levis, and to extend the time for the completion of the said Levis & Kentebec Rail way to the Maine frontier, and for other purposes.\u2014The visible supply of Grain comprising the stocks in granary at the principal points of accumulation at lake and seaboard ports, and on rail from Western lake and river ports and frozen in the New York canals, for the periods mentioned were as follows :\u2014 1879.1880.1881.March 2).March 27.March 26.Wheat, bu.19,314,257 24,226,709 21,413,143 Corn, bu.13,008,969 16,5488 4,295,889 Oats, bu.2,430,280 - 2,903,704 3,384,643 Barley, bu.2,885,656 2,227,583 2,139,201 Rye, bu.1,180,439 68 498 522.433 Total, bu.38,819,601 46,660,392 41,755,314 The receipts at the seaboard ports for the week ending March 26 were considerably larger than for the Week preceding, the increase in wheat being over 300,000 bushels, and of Corn 774,000 bushels.\u2014At a meeting at Merrickville, Ont., the following resolmtion was unanimously adopted :\u2014* That this meeting does hear- by approve of the scheme to construct a railway from Moose Creek Station, on the Ottawa gnd Coteau, to the Village of Smith\u2019s Falls, on the Canada Central, passing through the Villages of Chrysler, West Winchester, Hallville, Kemptville, Burritt®s Rapide, and Merrickville ;

failures thronghout the United States and Canada, received during the past week, give a total of 112, the smallest number for any week during the past two months.For the preceding week there were 133.The improvement is generally distributed over the Middle, New England aud Western States, while in the South there has been a slight increase.In the Middle States, during the week, there were 30 failures, à decrease of 9; in New York, 14, a decrease of 6 ; in Pennsylvania, 10, a de- erease of 5, and in New Jersey, 6, an in- çrease of 2.In the New England States there were 13, a decrease of 8.The Western States had 20, a decrease of 10.In the Southern States there was an increase from 31 to 34 failures.Canada and the Provinces show 15, an increase of 3.- The Canadian failures were mostly all unim portant, and there is no doubt that individual credit stands deservedly high.If business is conducted on safe conservative principles failures in this country for the next few years may be reduced to a minimum.But we fear that the return of prosperity, after a long period of severe commercial depression, will tempt many into the dangerous paths of speculation and overtrading, which have but one ending.So far the evidences of this form of commercial evil and imprudence have been few and far between.THE SEAL OIL TRADE.The private advices from the Seal fisheries continue to be of a very discouraging character, and unless a change takes place very soon, the catch will have to be set down as very small, if notan entire failure.Strong] and continuous north-east winds, so some of the letters received hy the trade here run, have blocked the sealing fleet in White and Gree Bays.The result of these reports has been to greatly strengthen the market here, and to establish a considerable advance on the prices which have been current since the New Year.For instance, a month ago Steam Refined was quoted at 65c @ 662, and to-day holders are asking 75c @ 76c per Imperial gallon.The sale of a round lot of Straw Seal has been put through to-day at about 57c, but holders are asking more now.The stock of Seal Oil of all kinds in this market is very small, and estimated at net over 650 barrels.Of course, more favourable re ports from the fisheries later on would materially change the aspect of affairs, and it is too early yet to predict a failure of the catch, though a falling off at present seems extremely probable.KINGSTON LOCOMOTIVE WORKS.The syndicate of Montreal and Kingston capitalizts, we undersiand, that purchased the plant of the Kingston Locomotive Works a few days ago, on Saturday paid over the amount of the purchase money through Mr.Geo.A.Kirkpatrick, M.P., President pro tem., and the new Company assumed control today.Mr.Wm.Harty, Kingston, has left for the United States to secure the services of à competent superintendent.The works of the old Company are to be equipped with the most complete machinery.A meeting of the promoters o the new Company is to be held in this city on the 12th instant to finish the arrangements for organization.It is understood tt at the new works will be able to turn out an engine per week.THE MONTREAL GAS COMPANY.ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Montreal Gas Company was held yesterday afternoon at the works in Ottawa St.Mr.Jesse Joseph, the President of the Board of Directors, occupied the Chair, aud there was a large attendance of shareholders.The following report of the Directers was read and its adoption moved by the President :\u2014 The Directors have pleasure in submitting to the shareboiders their report of the Company\u2019s affairs for the year ending 28th February, 1881.; \u2018The net profits of the 12 months, after allowing for bad and doubtful debts, amount to $208,040.96, from which have been paid and declared two dividends of five per cent.each, amounting to $187,446.43, leaving a balance of $20,594.53 to be added to the Rest,which now amounts to $122,929.92.The ex:reme cold weather, without the usual quantity of snow at the early part of the winter, has caused a great number of breaks and obstructions to our mains and services, and inconvenience to constimiers, unprecedented in the experience of this Company, and has ler! to increased expense, as compared with previous years.The Company\u2019s works at both stations are in an eflicient and satisfactory state.The quality and illuminating power of the gas 1s maintained above the standard required by law.During the year the outlay for street main extensions has been inconsiderable.Your Directors bave lately erected, at both stations, at a cost of about $3,800, works for the manufacture of sulphate of ammonia, upon the latest and most approved principle, for the disposal ¢f one of tue by-pro- ducts\u2014and they ara now workiug satisfactorily ; and the Directors louk forward to realizing ther from a larger revenue than they have hitlierto done.The Directors have much satisfaction in reporting a steady improvement in the affairs of the Company, and in the future they look for a continued increase in the consumption of gas, in keeping with the general prosperity of trade.Your Directors take pleasure in testifying that all the officers of the Company have discharged their various duties to the satisfaction of the Board.The following Directors retire by rotation, but are eligible for re-election: Messrs.Jesse Joseph, br.G.W.Campbell and Dr.W.Macdonald.The whole respectfully submitted, Jk88R JosEPH, President.Montreal, 28th February, 1881.of gas made for the year 1880-81 was 192, 588,000 feet, of that 153,106,000 feet had been acconnted for, leaving unaccounted for 39,481,000 feet; or about 20} per cent.for condeneation and leakage.That was an improvement upon previous years, for in 1878 the propor tionwaa 27 per cent.,and in 1879 25 per cent., notwithstanding that they had had so many leakages during the past few montha,caused by the terrific frosts there had been.That Company had suffered quite as much as the Corporation had in the way of breakage of the pines.Though the water-pipes were at an immense depth the Corporation had been considerably annoyed in this matter, and 80 had this Company.Mr.Joux CRAWFORD asked how this improvement in the matter of the leakage had been effected ?The PRESIDENT replied by the establieh- ment of a plan of boring for leaks.They had established a regularly organized system of searching for leaks, and in that way they had discovered many which they had stopped.It was done by drilling at the junctions of the pipes every 12 feet with steel angers, when, if there was a leak 1t was soon discovered with a match and remedied.| Mr.Borrox asked for informatioi as to the nuinber of consumers ?The PRESIBENT replied that, on account of the great depression in trade in 1877, they Jost 156 metres, in 1878, 381 metres, and 1879, 255 metres.That was due not only to people who failed in business or gave up housekeeping, but because many persona had given up the use of gas, and taken to coal oil from motives of economy.In 1880 they increased by 188 meters, which had been a large increase, because the meters were large ones, and the prospect was that, with the improvement in trade, they would continue to send out more meters.Mr.CRAWFORD asked if the Company had sold any land last year?The PRESIDENT replied that they had not, but they were in negotiation to sell a small piece for the railway; but it had uot been closel nor had the price been fixed.It would be sold and the money paid before next year.There was no special inquiry for their land at the present time, but their prospects regarding it were very good.He might explain that, in addition to the assets mentioned in the balance sheet, they had anasset that did not appear, aud of which they made no valuation.It was a piece of land of 600,000 feet in the rear of the works and running up to Sherbrooke street.That land was valuable in so far as it was in the neighbourhood of the railways; in fact the railways, the North-Shore and the \u2018\u2018 Grand Pacific,\u201d could not, move in that part of the city without treading upon their heels, so that he thought the land from its position was valuable.Then they had another piece of land, more valuable still, bounded on the north by St.Mary street, and on the south by the railways and the harbour.There was now ithe Grand Trunk Railway running, and the Occidental were desirous to run a line parallel to the Grand Trunk, and between their land and the railway.The land was especially well situated, being in the vicinity of the harbour and the wharves, and there was a greater depth of water, 26 feet opposite, than probably in any other part of the harbour.That land was about 60,000 feet.1f they found a purchaser for it, the proceeds would be an asset at the disposal of the stockholders, Mr.CRAWFORD asked for an approximate estimate of the value of these Jands ?Tue PRESIDENT explained that some of the land in the neighbourhood of their works had been sold for 20 cents, and they bought some for that in the times of the \u2018\u201c boom,\u201d and sold it at 15 cents to the railroad.Some of the Hogan estate also had been sold at 15 cents.He would take the 600,000 feet at ten cents, à minimum value, and it would realise $60,000 ; the lands in front of the Harbour he estimated at 75 cents, which would realise some £50,000, making some $110,000 as the minimum value.If they were offered that price to-morrow it would be a question whether they would accept it or not.À STOCKHOLDER asked whether the 600,- 000 feet was independent of the streets ?Tue PRESIDENT replied that it was.Then, when the works were first built, they provided for the future, which had proved to be one of the great difficulties felt in -Lon- don, in Paris, Boston, and Liverpool,where they had not looked forward.They had laid out five acres of land for their buildings, which were so arranged that there was plenty of room.The distance between their buildings was about as wide as a street, which afforded great freedom of access and lessened the danger trom fire.Mr.AxpErsoy asked whether the introduction of the gas stoves had been a success?Tae PRESIDENT replied that it had, but like all other new things people wanted Lo know from their neighbours how far they had been successtul before they purchased.There were a great many prejudices about getting rid ot the ranges, but he thought they had overcome them, and that they had the prospect of disposing of a large number.There had been, of course, certain expenses connected with their introduction.Advertising anything new was always attended with considerable expense at the outset, but they had been pretty liberal in that matter.They had established a place in St.James street where they had been on exhibition for a long time.They had got specimens of these stoves from Kuropeand the United States, and he believed that they could say that they were producing the best gas stoves out.They were made in the es tablishment ; they required to be made with a good deal of care and skill and economy.They were sold at as nearly cost price as possible, their great object being to increase the consumption of the gas.There were about 200 of them in operation, and very few Companies had been so |.successful as they had been.In answer to Mr.Anderson, The PRESIDENT said that they could manufacture the stoves much more economically than they could get them made elsewhere.Mr.CRAWFORD was glad the plan had been s0 successful, but believed that great numbers of people had never heard of them.He recommended the appointment of an agent to canvass for their sale, The PRESIDENT thought the success attained good, but pointed out that it took time to introduce them, because persons were not prepared at once to change their ranges.Mr.CLARK asked if there had been amendments made in the Charter, and if 80, what ?The PRESIDENT said that they went to Parliament two years ago, and they got an extension of the charter for 25 years, which would last for 42 years from now.There was another amendment reducing the number of Directors.The rule betore was that there should not be less than nine, nor more than twelve, and it had been altered to not less than seven, nor more than nine.There were now eight.Mr.CRAWFORD supposed the reason no reduction was recommended in the report, was thut, owing to the report that had been gent in asto the sanitary Condition of the street, they did not want to lose the two professional men they had on the Board.The PRESIDENT replied that it was not for the Board to make any recommendations as to a reduction.I1'the stockholders wished to reduce the number notice could be given at one annual meeting and the matter couid be discussed at the next.The Directors bad informally considered the matter, but the difficulty was as to the quorum of five.Mr.CrawrorD asked what the Company was going to do with reterence to the protest that had been sent about bad and poisonous smells from the works ?Mr.ANDERSON thought it would not be well to discuss this matter there.The less said about it the better.The PRESIDENT said be was quite prepared to make a statement of the eircum- stances, if the stockholders desired it.Mr.CRAWFORD thought it better to have an explanation.Dr.G.W.CAmPBRLL did not think there should be any concealments in public com- pauiies.The PRESIDENT said that there had been a great deal in the papers about the peti- tion, but the payers were not always cer Mr.R.BOLTON asked for information as! rest, for ihey could only put in matters as to the amount of loss by condensation and evaporation of the gas during the year ?they were told to them.The facts were these: The Gas Company had been eatab- there by the permission of the Corporation and by the terms of their charter.The property then was of low value, and people ad built round the works, but they did so at their own risk, and because they got the land eheap.The Company had & private drain, but they were re irinz it, and so he applied personallÿ to Mr.Analey, the City Surveyor, for permission to drain into the Dalhousie street sewer.Mr.Ansley said there could be no objection.There was uo refuse in their drainage ; the water was as pure and clear as a person need drink.That permission was not given in writing, and after people found that they were draining into Dalhousie street they objected and complained, and the moment he found it out he stopped it.He told the engineer it was no use annoying the neighbours, and, since, they had used their own drain.There was another question arose, whether they had not the right to use that drain; he did not propose to do so,but onlv as showing that the Corporation was putting itself in & false position, because it built the drain and the Company gave 8900 of the cost.If the Corporation made any difficulty, at any rate it should give them back their $900.But the drain had nothing to do with the matter, it was the sulphate works, and sulphate works, like all chemical works, sometimes caused a smell, more or less.A certain amount of sulphuric acid gas was caused, but he was told by persons competent to give an opinion, that that was very healthy.: Dr, G.W.CampsELL\u2014Y es.The PRESIDENT, continuing, eaid all manufacturing districts were exposed to such things.The lead and other works there were far more poisonous ; but nobody complained about them, and he thought the Corporation could not find fault with what they were doing.If the Corporation wanted them to remove their works, and would give them $1,500, 000, they] jwould be glad to go; but then they would be a nuisance to somebody else.The sulphate was made alter nately at their works and only for eight or ten days aL a time.There was no refuse sent into the drains; there was the surface-water wliich carried a little ammonia from the coal, but that was not objectionable, Mr.Ansley and the Health Officer were to inspect the drains and see for themselves.Dr, CAMPBELL said that ammonia was well-known as the best disinfectant there wag, but like most chemicals, the gas complained of was not pleasant; it had a pungent smell.He added, it would kill diphtheria and bad smells.If the ammouoiacal liquor were run intothe drains it would cause a tremenduous nuisance.There was only one way of preventing that, and that was by converting it into a chemical salt, which was sold in England, and called sulphate of ammonia.Through the process of heating, this ofien- sive liquor, which would be a great nuisance run into the drains, and which, in the infancy of gas works, was run into drains, was converted into the sulphate of ammonia.À STuCKHOLDER mentioned that when he was at the Centennial he paid $5 for a re cipe to preserve meats by sulphates.The PRESIDENT considered that that neighbourhood was about the healthiest part of Griltintown, and all their men said there was no sickness about gas works.They had men who had been there for twenty years, and they were stronger now than younger men who were recently started, and men who had been in 1]! health had found benefit from working there.This matter then dropped.A STOCKHOLDER asked what the Chair man\u2019s views were as to the electric light ?The PRESIDENT stated that he had watched the matter very closelv for the past three years in England, France and the United States, and Le found that one great drawbacl to its use was its great expense.The only light that he had seen introduced in the city was at the Grand Trunk Workshops, where they had no gas, and where they would have gone to any expense ghat was necessary.Then there were the 16 lights on the wharves.They used the engine of the Government, and he believed the cost, although he could not ascertain the exact amount, was about $4,000 a year.If that were so, they could easily ecalculate how much it would cost to light the city where they had nearly 90 miles of streets, whilst these 16 electric lights only served about three-quarters of a mile.At present they had 1,623 gas-lamps, and received from the citv$24,000.In London, England, the Cor poration had paid some £5,000 sterling for less than a littl over a mile of electric light, and he did not think the city of Montreal would be disposed to indulge in such an expensive luxury.As to the effect upon gas stocks by the electric light, he found, from the American Gas- \u2018light Journal, that on January 17, Manhattan stock stood at 165 bid and 170 asked; and Metropolitan 130 and 135 asked.On February 16, Manhattau was at 182, and on April 2, at 180.Mr.CRAWFORD hoped that there would be a reduction in the price of gas; and trusted that the Board would see their way, consistent with fair returns to the shareholders, to reduce it, as he would like to ses it at $1.50.The PRESIDENT pointed out that great care was required to be exercised in such matters as a reduction, because a reduction of 10 cents on a consumption of 200,- 000,000 feet was $20,000.When the Board could see its way to give a reduction, it would do so, because it was its policy to make gas popular.Mr.H.Lyuay expressed the opinion that there was no danger to the Gas Comnies from the competition of the electric Fight, on the ground principally ot its great expense.The report was adopted nem con, and after the retiring Director\u2019s had been reelected, the meeting adjourned.\u2014 tle ee RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS, The liability of a husband for debts contracted by his wife on his credit, for clothing and other goods for herself and their children, was decided in the House of Lords in the recent case of Debenham us, Mellon.The action was for £43 9s.6d., for clothing supplied in 1877, and both the husband and the wife testified that in 1869 he had forbidden her to use his credit, and that he had given her from that time an annual sum for clothing for herself and the children, but it was admitted that the plaintiff had no notice of the prohibition.The trial Judge directed a verdict for the defendant, and judgment was entered thereon ; the judgment was affirmed in the Court of Appeal, and the case then went to the House of Lords.The Lord Chancellor (Selborne) said :\u2014\u201c The mete fact of a marriage does not imply a mandate by law making the wife (who cannot herself contract, unless so far ns she may have a separate estate), the agent in law for the hus band, to bind him and to pledge his credit, by what otherwise might be her own contract if she were a single woman.All the authorities show that there is nosnch mandate in law, except in the particular case of necessity, a necessity which, perhaps, prima facie, may arise when the husband has deserted the wife, or compelled her to live apart from him, without properly providing for her, but which, when the husband aud wife are living together, cannot be said ever, prima facie, to arise, because if, in point of fact, sheis maintained, there is in that state of circumstances no prima Jacie evidence that the husband is neglecting to discharge his proper duty, or that there can be any necessity for the wife to run him into debt for the purpore of keeping herse\u2019f alive or supplying herself with necessary clothing.\u201d \u201cWhether, therefore, a wife, living with her husband, is in actual need of food and clothing for herrelf and the children, is a question of fact to be determined by the jury upon the evidence.The question of temperate and intemperate habits, under a policy of Life Insurance, was considered in the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company vs.Reif, in the Supreme Court of Ohio, on the 22nd ultimo.The application contained the following questions and answers :\u2014¢¢ Q\u2014 Has the party whose life is to be insured ever been intemperate?A.\u2014No, Q.\u2014Is the party now of correct and temperate habits?A.\u2014Yes;\u201d and the policy of insurance was to be void if either of these answers was false or untrue, J udge Johnson, in the opinion, said: \u2018\u2018 These questions and answers refer to the habits of the subject of the insurance as to the use casional practices; and if his usual or general habits were to abstain, or to use in moderation, an occasional indulgence to excess does not render the answers false or untrue.But it is not necessary to the existence of intemperate habits that the excessive use of intoxicating liquor should be continuous and daily.\u201d\u2014Bradstreet\u2019s.THE EXPORT GRAIN TRADE The month of March gave promise of increased activity and prosperity in the shipments of Grain, and shippers, mer chants, speculators and dealers in Grain are preparing for the demand from Europe.Itis confidently expected that the shipments of Grain for the summer months will be larger by several millions of bushels than that of any preceding year.During the month of March the shipments of Grain trom the port of New York amounted to 6,645,712 bushels, as follows :\u2014 4,043,343 bushels of Wheat.2,514,036 bushels of Corn.88,333 bushels of Rye.To carry this large amount of Grain across the ocean the services in whole or part of 173 vessels were required.These included 92 steamers, 12 ships, 68 barques, and one trig.A remarkable feature of the trade is the large number of steamers now carrying Grain to Europe.All steamers, both of the regular and outside lines, iu- cluding passenger steamers, carry Grain.The following nationalities are represented : British steamers.73 French steamers.British ships.11 French barques.British barques.21 Portuguese barques Norwegian ships.1 German steamers.Norweg'n barques 18 Belgian steamers.Italian steamers.1 Danish steamers.Italian barques.16 Dutch steamers.Austrian barques.7 Austrian brigs.1 Swedish barques.4 It will be thus seen that the Stars and Stripes are not represented.WESTERN PORK-PACKING- The Cincinnati Price Current publishes its thirty-second annual report of pork-pack- ing in the West for the winter and year ending March 1, showing for the winter a total of 6,916,456 Hogs packed, being 30, 995 less than for the preceding winter, The tocal for the twelve months 1s 12,243,354, showing an increase of 1,241,665.The winter's average is 207 71-100 pounds, against 212 94-100 pounds last year.The average yield per hog of Lard is 35 65-100 against 56 62-100 last winter.The reduction in the number and weight during the winter is equivalent to 200,000 Hogs of the average of a year ago.The amount of Mess Pork made during the winter is 359,- 691 barrels, a reduction of 170,867 barrels.The prospect for supplies of Hogs for the summer season is regarded as considerably below last year up to June, but beyond that time as not varying much from last year.\u2014\u2014,\u2014 OHIO\u2019S WHEAT CROP.Despatches from about 100 points in Ohio, regarding the Wheat crop prospects, show a general increase in acreage ranging from 10 to 25 per cent., though there is a slight falling off in a few sections.The winter has been favourable to a large yield, though the present snow is regarded with apprehension if followed by a sharp frost, as has been predicted.\u201d If no frost follows, this snow-storm is considered advantageous.On the lake border the March frosts have done considerable damage in some places.The crop in the southern part of the State is backward, but promises well, and the acreage is very largely increased.In Central Ohio the increase of acreage is from 10 to *5 per cent., and the crop 1s in good condition, PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.MONTREAL, April 4.The Flour trade continues quiet and without special feature.The demand is pretty dull, but values notwithstanding are fairly steady.Holders\u2019 views, however, are rather above those of buyers, who are not anxious.to enter the market, or disposed to stock up except at concessions which sellers would not make.The sales on Change to-day include Superior Extra at $5.35, Spring Extra at $5.10, Medium Bakers\u2019 at $5.40, Strong Bakers at $5.75, and Ontario Bags a.$2.60 @ $2.70.The improvement noted in the tone of the English Grain markets Saturday, was more Ot i 00 | WLS 3 8 » = pa a than sustaiced to-day, the cable quoting floating cargoes strong, and cargoes on passage and for shipment firm.Mark Lane Wheat and the English and French country markets are firm.The Chicago market was strong, and closed $c @ fc higher at $1.01} @ 101$ April, $1.06} May, $1.064 July, 97§cyear.The movements of Grain during the week ending March 26, the latest date for which full reports kave been received, resulted in effecting some decided changes, prominent among which was a reduction in the visible supply of over 2,700,000 bushels.This was caused partly by a falling off in the receipts at Western lake and river ports, and partly hy increased shipments to foreign ports.The heavy reductions in the receipts at water ports was the direct result of the enow blockade, which retarded or entirely stopped for a time the running of freight trains.Since the date to which the statistics are brought down, traffic has again been resumed, and as there is a vory large quantity of Wheat still to come forward, the receipts for some time to come may be expected to be unusually large, especially at Cnicago and Milwaukee.The latest reports respecting the Winter Wheat crop in Ohio and Indiana are very favourable, the acreage being unusually large, and the Wheat looking very well.The planting of Spring Wheat in the North-West wiil unquestionably be somewhat late, but it is still too early to determine whether cr not the coming crop will be a good one.If the spring should be favourable, there is still plenty of time for an abundant harvest.The local Grain market continues quiet but steady.We hear of the sale of a cargo ot Lower Canada Peas for May delivery at 90c.We quote for May as follows :\u2014 Canada Red Winter, $1.24 @ $1.25; No.2 Canada Spring, $1.20 @ $1.23; Peas, 88c @

bush.Boston, April 8, FLOUR \u2014 The market is exceedingly dull.The flurry West in wheat, wherein an advance of 1}c was obtained on April, had no influence beyond strengthening receivers and jobbers, who have previously inclined to proffer slight concessions to induce trade.We quote car lots for cash Supers at $4 00 per bbl; low extras at $4 25 @ $4 50; Wisconsin common extras at $4 50 /@ $5 25; Minnesota at $4 75 @ $6; Ohio and Michigan at $5 50 @ $575; Indiapa at $5 650 @ $6 vo: St Louis and Southern Illinois at $6 00 @ $6 50, with now and then a brand sclling at a higher price ; winter wheat patents at $6 560 @ $7 75, and spring wheat do at $6 50 @ $8 00 per brl, with one or two brands at a higher price.OATS remain steady, with a better inquiry, inspired no doubt by the advance at Chicago.BUTTER\u2014The only noticeable feature of the day is the actual scarcity of spot lots of well.known and select brands of ladle- packed, or, as some term it, factory or imitation creamery.There is hardly anything in stock to-day that commands 22c, except as à jobbing price, while thero has been a fair lot of stock that buyers insist they shall select out of for 20e @ 21c, which concession has been granted.There has been a good deal of canvassing for the cheaper creamery lots that can be bought for about 30c, and to-day buyers of large lots asked over this price.\u2018l'his is, no doubt, a move to break the market a cent or two, and so long as enough good, sweet, fresh dairy can be had at 27c /@ 28c, buyers are given a powerful leverage.i EGGS are again lower, and close without noticable vita.ity.At the call they opened with the offer of 5 cases of Eastern extras at 17}c, and securing no attention; 10 cases were offered at 17c, and taken; 10 cases more were also taken at 17c.There were offers of 25 cases Canada firsts and 10 brls Tennessee do at 17c, and 20 bris Iowa do at 174c, without takers, and the call closed.During the day 17}c was asked in a jobbing way and obtained.BEANS are strong.The holders of strictly hand-picked stock, out of which the blasted and broken und the irregular have been culled, are refusing to sell cither pes or mediums in car lots for less than 82 15, while onc asks on a choice brand $2 25.Buyers to-day find the market with more tone than it has shown for two weeks, and are trying to patch out their wants on the sifted stock.Unculled in lots at $2 10 @ $2 15; yellow-eyes are not changed from 32 00 @ $2 15.Peas are weak at 75c @ $1 05.POTATOES are firmer.The cargo lots have been distributed, and railroad Wkites are looking up.Ja \u2018ksons toned up on the lowest to \u20ac0c, with more holding good stock fur 65c.Peerless have been \u2018pretty well sold out ; what remains is at 60c stiff for car lots.Prolifics are steady at 70¢.Aroostook Rose do better at the outside\u201475c @ 80c.Northern are strong at 70c @ 72c, and Houlton at 85c.Cabbages are moving quick ewing tu'a momentary short supply at $2 @ $2 75, while cargo turnips still hold the market down to 75c per brl.HAY\u2014The demand for the choice of timothy holds $23 as the outside, and we quote choice Eastern or Canada coarse at $21 50 /@ $23 ; other grades are neglected swale.Rye straw is strong at $25 @ $26 50, and oat at $13 @ $14.\u2014 Advertiser\u2014\u2014me re pres IMPORTS.FROM SEA, Per S85 Caspian, of Glasgow, Lieut B

Conservative standard- bearer happened to be a Roman Catholic.A poor excuse is perhaps better than none, but we fear our Ministerialist friends scarcely understand the logical sequence of the plea they put forward to account for their defeat.If the Gazette's contention be correct, then it follows that the rank and file of Conservative voters must be an intolerant set of men.Our contemporary contends that the Couservatives are in a majority in East Northomberland, yet rather than vote for Mr.Kennedy, they permitted the Liberal candidate to be elected.We doubt if the Conservatives of Northumberland will thank the Gazette for its reflections upon their intelligence or liberality; neither will the Ministerial party be strengthened by the admission that it is impossible to induce Protestant Conservatives to vote for a Roman Catholic Conservative candidate.But we do not believe that the question of religion had anything to do with the East Northumberland contest.Mr, Kennedy was defeated because he came out as a thick-and-thin supporter of the East Northumberland do not approve.Instead of being the cause of his defeat, we are inclined to think that Mr.Kennedy\u2019s religion was rather a source of strength to him, and in selecting him as their candidate the Conservatives exhibited a good deal of shrewdness.They were well aware and various other * indiscretions\u201d committed by the Macdonald Administration, had estranged a considerable number of electors from the Tory party.They -calculated that these losses would be made good if the whole Catholic vote of the Riding could be obtained for the Conservative candidate.The object of the Ministerialists, therefore, in selecting Mr.Kennedy as their standard-bearer was admittedly to secure the votes of hie co-religionists.That Mr.Kennedy received the votes of Catholics who otherwise would have voted for the Liberal candidate, is undoubtedly true.But our Conservative friends were a little out in their calculations, The reaction against the Government was grealer than could be overcome by the Catholic votes attracted by Nr.Kennedy\u2019s candidature, and the party suffered a disas trous defeat, For the Conservatives now to blame Mr.Kennedy\u2019s creed for the defeat is adding insult to injury ; when, ; | according to the showing of the party organs, Mr.Kennedy was betrayed by voters who usually vote the Tory ticket.If the Conservative leaders knew, as they ought to have known, that their followers could not be depended on to vote for Mr.Kennedy, they should not have allowed that gentleman to be sent to the slaughter in the way they did.But it is useless for the Tory organs to attempt to dis guise the fact that their defeat in Hast Northumberland was due solely to the unpopularity of the Macdonald Government.The Tory ¢ stalwarts\u201d rallied to a man to the support of Mr.Kennedy, but all the eloquence of Messrs.Plumb, Bowell, White, Merrick, Rykert, Coughlin, aud the rest could not persuade the honest, independent electors of the county into endorsing the Tupper Railway contract.Moreover, the stumping of East Northumberland by such an army as the above must have cost the party no small penny.Tory orators, it is well understood, do not live on oxygen alone.TURKEY AND GREECE.An Athens despatch conveys the intelligence that the Greek Government cannot accept the frontier offered by the Porte, that nobody in Athens anticipates a peaceful solution of the difficulty, and that everything is readiness for war: So strong is the war feeling said to be among the Greeks that no Government which made the slightest move towards compromise could stand twenty-four hours.The Sulian, meanwhile, is massing his forces on the frontier, and has his flee; ready to blockade and bombard the Greek ports the moment hostilities break out, The Greeks appear confident that the Powers must interfere and secure the fulfil\u201d ment of the conditions of the Berlin treaty, and have asked that Turkey be preventeq from sending war ships into Greek waters The Greek Commander Sontze recently told a newspaper correspondent that war was inevitable unless the Powers interfered promptly and with energy.He said :\u2014 * We are prepared, aud we must do ow: « duty.This is imposed upon us by th* \u201c\u201c honour of an acquired right, and by the «frightful sufferings of our oppressed ¢ brethren.We count, however, upon \u201c two great advantages\u2014the present dis- \u2019tress of Turkey and the favour of the \u2018* provinces adjudged to us.On their \u2018\u2018 borders Greece

FAITH.\u201d - eet ems Mc.B.F.Underwood delivered his last lecture in Queen's Hall, last evening, on the subject of \u201cThe New Science and the Old Faith,\u201d to an audience of some 500 persons.At the commencement he said he did not wish to extirpate Christianity except in its more intolerant and bigoted forms, and proceeded to criticise the attributes of God in the present accepted Theol 0gy.These, he said, were the attributes of man, and that God, as worshipped, is merely an expanded form of a man, with all his passions and feelings, and exists only in imagination.At the same time he admitted the existence ot a power controlling nature, who filled the universe, but was incomprehensible, He ridiculed the argument that dosign and Plan, in the structure of the universe and things, was proof of tne existence of the present conception of God, as the very idea of design and plan proved the Power claimed to be definite and subject to acquisition of knowledge, which does not correspond with the character, the power and -omniscience claimed for God.The physical Phenomena of the universe, and the phenc- mena of all animal and vegetable life and their developments did not, he said, require the presence of a creating or designing God to acceunt for them, as all were gradually evolved from combining forces and drcumstances.He attempted to explain the bevinning of matter from an atom to the formation ot worlds, and the evolution of man from a -mollusk.The lecturer towards the close referred to the sermon he heard in the same hall, on the previous evening, which he characterized as the most liberal sermons he ever heard and said the enlightened spirit shown by the preacher was much to be commended, and proceeded to criticize parts he did bot coincide in opinion with.At the close, hs invited discussion, which, at the call of many of the audience, brought np Bev.Mr.Bray, who briefly replicd The lecturer complained of being two roughly handled y bis, cierical
