charges, $348,628.\u2014The Inman Line SS.\u201c City of Chester,\u201d from Liverpool and Queenstown arrived at New York at 7 a.m.to-day, \u2018Wednesday.\u2014During the past ten years cattle in New South Wales have increased very little, but sheep have gone from 16,000;000 to 33,000,000.\u2014Three million dollars have already been spent on the Panama canal scheme, yet absolutely nothing has been doue in the way of cutting the canal.\u2014The Marysville Paper Company has been formed at the town of that name in York County, New Brunswidk, witha capital of twent-five thousand dollars.Paper pulp and paper of all kinds will be manufactured by the company.\u2014A despatch from Bradford, Pa., states there are heavy failures in the oil market.It is reported one man lost $40,000.One female speculator has been carrying 20,000 barrels of $1.20 oil two months.and has already sold 4,000 barrels to carry margin.\u2014Chicago butchers state that the cattle received from the plainsand ranges in the Southwest, generally of poor quality, have heretofore been purchased by the canners, being unfit for the export trade, and not good enough, unless in exceptional cases, to meet the requirements of the Eastern markets.When put up in cans, a market for such beef is found in every country on the globe.As the can- ners propose retiring from the business, it is quite likely that these inferior cattle will appear in Eastern markets as cheap Western dressed beef.\u2014A telegraphic despatch from Jefferson, Ohio, says ;\u2014The community is excited over the defalcation of S.J.Fuller and H.L.St.John, Cashier and Assistant Cashier of the Second National Bank.The Bank suspended, pending an investi- ation.Fuller fled.He has been specu- ting, and used $50,000 to $75,000 of the Bank\u2019s funds.St.John, on learning the crime was discovered, had a stroke of paralysis.© Depositors are not likely to Jose their money.The stockholders are liable for $200,000, being far more than the average deposits.\u2014Advices from Rochester, N.Y., state that the City Bank rated the third strongest in the city, closed this morning.The cause of suspension is said to be speculation in stocks and oil by President Chas.E.Upton., It is said that there will be a deficiency of half -a million.Great excitement prevails; A second dispatch says the City Bank closed on account of Upton appropriating $350,000 of its funds to carry on oil speculations.The amount of deposits is estimated at $500,000 ; amount of paper held by the Bank $800,000.Upton was Treasurer of the Western New York Episcepal Diocese and had its funds in the Bank.The \u2018Savings Bank of the city had large sums - «deposited.- \u2014The Boston Journal publishes a series «of interviews with leading sugar refiners of that city, in which dissatisfaction is manifested with the report of the tariff commission, So far as sugar is.concerned they say the proposition of the Planters\u2019 Association is ide.tical with the scale of duties proposed by the commission in its report.lt is claimed by the commission that the change in tariff rates on sugar will amount to 15 per cent.This the Boston refiners deny.\u201d Ou the contrary, they are of unanimous opinion that the average duties on the grades of sugar now used for refining is higher by the sehedule of the commission tham the average duty paid under the present law, which is 25 per cent.above the general war tarif rates.In order to make the reduction commensurate with that recommended for other dutiabley merchandise, such as cotton, 50 per cent.should have been taken off.But the Louisiana planters, who produce but 8 per cent.of 1,000,000 tons consumed annually in the United States, demand this excessive duty, which is, in reality, 3 cents on every pound of the granulated article The glucose manufacturers and the California refiners, together with the Southern planters (whose president was a member of the tariff commission), unite their forces to keep up this odious exaction.The refiners, as well as the consumers, demand » radical reduction of the duties on raw sugar.iia 170$, and on sales dropped to 1693.dividend.Exchange were offering at 1764, with bids at 1723.Montreal Telegraph were quiet at 123 @ AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.VOL.LXXIV.\u2014No.304.MONTREAL.THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1882.PRICE, THREE CENTS.FINANCIAL, | Monetary circles during the past week | have not been particularly brisk.The, approach of the holiday season perhaps,\" has had a little to do with the dull state ! i of the markets.Apparently \u201cbulls\u201d and \u201cbears\u201d for the moment find, like Othello, \u201c their occupation gone.\u201d There | is no lack of money, it is to be obtained in abundance, but sh-ewd operators can- | not see their way clear at present in em- | ploying it to advantage.We are cognizant of the fact that it is not the dut y of a newspaper to advise or suggest to capitalists how they should employ their money, or to take them to task for their ; indifference, even if they choose to lock it up and keepit unemployed.But the keeping of it idle entails some small loss to \u2018hemselves and a great deal to the community at large, while trade of every description becom es depressed and sluggish.| The stock market maintains, under all circumstances, a strong and firm tone, which it would not otherwise do were it not that the large operators looked speedily for a change in values, and one for the better.There is no great pressure at the moment from commercial borrowers for accomodation.\u201cGilt edge\u201d paper is readily discounted at the banks at 7@74, and Call and Shortdated loans are obtainable at 6@7 per cent.according to the nature of the collateral.The market for sterling exchange is a shade weaker on a weak inquiry.Bankers\u2019 60-day bills are negotiated at 83@S4 and demand drafts at 9@9%.Currency on New York § to 4 premium.In New York the market for foreign exchange is dull, there being but little demand from importers, The supply of banker bills seems to be more than sufficient for the market.The offerings of commercial bills are not large, but there was a reduction of rates by one of the leading drawers this morning.The posted rates were 4.81/@4.81} and 4.85@4.Sixty-day bills | were 4.80] and 4.80% Demand was, 4.847 and 4.85.Cables were 4.85% and 4.86.Commercial bills, 4.78% and 4.79%.Continental exchange was quiet and firm.Francs were 5.233 and 5.20; Reichsmarks, 943 and 95}; Guilders, 39§ and 40.Consolsin London are firmat 100 7-16; for money, and 100 9- 16 for account.| United States bonds are higher ; 44s, 1164; 5s, 1053, and American railway secu- Tities strong.Erie, 41;

January payments, as about that period | fully $60,000,000 will be disbursed in , dividends and interest immediately after | the 1st of January.The situation, asa whole, seems to point toa \u201cbull \u201d market, but the \u201cbears\u201d say large op era- tors are manipulating an advance in ' order to market the balance of their holdings.\u2018There are also rumours of strong \u201cbear\u201d pools being formed, one in Western Union.The New York stock market to-day was slightly off.According to private advices, yesterday at the opening, the majority of orders were to sell, and a small decline was the result.| It then looked as if some of the smaller \u201cbulls,\u201d after thinking the matter over i seriously, Zwere inclined to quit their i holdings.After this, the market drifted ' into great dullness, which continued dur- ! \u2018ing most of the day.There was an ut-! ter absence of rumours affecting the market, one way or the other.close there was a little more activity, and | a fractional rise in some stocks, but the market was very mixed, there were no in- The local stock market was a trifle more active to-day.and a firm tone prevailed for the majority of the list.Bank of Montreal changed hands for small amounts at 1974@197$.Ontario were steady, selling at 111.Molsons sold down |! from 1244 to 124.Toronto opened at!

trade and commerce.Lastweek we had to report a dull and flat condition of affairs among wholesale merchants, and this week there is practically no improvement.The fine sleighing over goed roads has, however, made the country merchant and city retailers happy.They have been doing a very brisk trade, which must in the end give an impetus to business in a wholesale way.We certainly anticipate more movements in all the leading staples as soon as the usual Christmas festivities have been enjoyed and the New Year has fairly set in.We have to report no change this week in dry goods.Chemicals are.steady, and a fair jobbing trade doing.In groceries there is a very light movement.There have been sales of about 1,000 half-chests of low grade Japan teas from 14c @ 20c, and ef 500 half-chests of medium from 32e @ 38c.Sugars are sluggish and unchanged in quotations ; in refining, granulated rules at 8$c @ 82c as to quantity and quality, yellows ranging from 7}c @ 8%c according to brightness, Coffees are firm, Jamaica selling at 12c, Motha 30c @ 31c, and Java 17e @ Mc.Molasses continue dull at 50c @ 51c for Barbadoes, Trinidad 44c @ 45c, Antigua 47c, and syrups are in good request at 525 @ 65c as to sample.There is little or nothing doing in dried fruits- Valencias are held at 7}c @ 74c, and eur- rants 6c @ 6ic as to quality.Spices are in request and scarce, and rice moves out slowly at last week\u2019s quotations.The oil market is fairly active, sales of round lots of steam-refined having been made at 873c @ 90, and for single barrels at 95.Cod \u201cA\u201d Newfoundland is held firm a 674c.The demand for fish has been unprecedented, and dealers are pretty well cleaned out.Stocks on hand now are small, and prices are likely to advance be- Hoze- Trent comes round, The metal markets during the week have been in a lethargic condition, and prices generally have not changed.Pig iron continues firm for No.1 leading brands; bar is steady and unchanged; tin plates and Canada plates dull; ingot tin weak and lower; copper steady; lead weak and spelter firm.Dealers are now mainly engaged in taking stock, and do not anticipate much activity till after the holidays.The leather market, so far as demand from manufacturers is concerned, may be considered a complete blank, which leaves prices in a nominally unchanged position.A moderate movement in imported hides has taken place at weaker prices, the market having declined in sympathy with the West.Green butcher\u2019s hides and skins are unchanged.Petroleum kas moved off into consumption to the customary amount and the market shows a disposition to stiffen as Western refiners claim to be ready to put prices up.WHAT IS A DESPATCH?In some quarters there seems to be a certain amount of ambiguity regarding the meaning of the phrase \u201ca despatch,\u201d but when it is used in the commercial columns of a newspaper it can ouly be credited with one meaning.Our esteemed morning contemporary published yesterday morning what purporte! to be a despatch from Chicago, which read as follows:\u2014 \u201cThe supply of corn here is simply larger than is wanted, and the most of the new corn is not dry enough to store.It was noted that a year ago we had sold nearly 50,000,000 bushels corn to go South, while this year the South is a seller instead of a buyer.\u201d Our contemporary should not endeavour to palm off on the public as a despatch what he evidently clipped from the Chicago Tribune.That enterprising paper in its issue of Sunday last, said in its report of the corn market: \u2014 \u2018The supply here is simply larger than is wanted, and the most of the new corn is not dry enough to store.It was noted Saturday that a year ago we had sold 50,000,000 of corn to go South, while this year the South is an anzious seller instead of a buyer.\u201d In callin attention to this subject our only desire has been to see justice done to the Chicago TMbune, whose information had \u2018been used, perhaps with a view of roping in more \u201cshorts.\u201d By the above our readers will, perhaps, be enlightened as to what a \u201c despatch 7 means accordin, to the light of the \u201cleading commercia journal.\u201d HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.By our latest English exchanges we observe that the usual half-yearly \u201cgeneral court\u201d of the shareholders of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company was held at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon street, in the last week of November.Mr.Eden Colville, the Governor of the Company, was in the chair, ind there was a fairly ood attendance of the proprietors.The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, explained that the bulk, though not the whole, ot the furs traded in the past winter were now in the warehouses of the Company at London.Hz thought from the reports of their officers in the different districts that the fur trade was looking up, and though, owing to recent settlements, many places which used to be fur-bearing districts had ceased to be so, yet there still remained vast tracts of country which would yield fur in considerable quantities.As to their eneral trade at Winnipeg, the three months and a haf during which the business had been conducted at their new store had enabled them to come to the conclusion that the money laid out in the building was well spent, and that the trad® there was likely to prove a considerable success.As the railway advanced they had under consideration the best localities in which they could put fresh shops.There was a marked decrease in the demand for the company\u2019s land as compared with the time last year, a great portion of the former demand being speculative.Up to September 30 the gross amount of their land sales was £1,119,103, and of that amount £320,000 had been received up to the date of the present report.They bad to deduct the expenses from the beginning of the sales, and these, which at st were necessarily rather heavy, amounted now to £50,000.Of the balance of £260,000, they distributed £200,- 000, or £2 a share.At present the interest on the unpaid instalments about meet the current expenses of the land office, and the question was, when the £50,000 of expenses had been cleared off, what should be done with the interest.His attention had been called to one or two points raised in some letters to the financial papers as to the extent and value of the Company\u2019s land.He should be glad to give them the fullest information on both points,\u2018but as to the extent of the land it could not be ascertained till the Dominion Government had completed the surveys of the North-West.Sir John Rose seconded the motion for the adoption of the report.In reply to some remarks from one of the shareholders as to no interim dividend, the Chairman observed that he had always thoughtit an unwise policy to declare any interim dividend at all, and if the proprietors agreed they would not in future at that time of the year say they did intend to propose the interim dividend, but it would be generally understood that they would divide everything they had earned when they kiew the amount they had to deal with.Mr.Earp then rose, and criticised the control exercised by the Committee with regard to town and land sales, and he read an extract from the Toronto Globe to the effect that the Company had just sold land adjoining the site of Regiia at the ordinary price of wild lands, although it had been known for manymonths past that an important town was located in that re- ion.He asked the Secre to inform them if the Company still held any land adjoining the site.The Secretary was unable to give this information and the matter dropped.After a few remarks from Sir John Rose concerning the rapid progress which had been e in Manitoba and the North-West the report was adopted, a vote of thanks was passed to the Governor and Committee, and their re-election was proceeded with.RAILWAY NEWS.\u2014The Canada

constructed in the most approved manner, with all steel rails and at a total cost of $1,950,000, which is $30,000 per mile.This includes all equipage and necessary buildings.\u2014Advices from London, Ontario, report that in the City Council three notices of motion repealing the granting of running powers along certain streets to the London unction railway, free water for twenty years, and exemption from taxatien for the same period, were introduced, and elicited a spirited debate.Ald.Birrel moved in amendment that a By-law be submitted to the people at the approaching elections granting a bonus of $30,000 to the London Junction to purchase the right of way through the property of the citizens; failing that, the By-law already passed hold good.After a \u2018lengthy discussion

SKINS\u2014There has been comparatively little movement in imported hides during the week, the current usiness being represented by a few car loads.Western markets have been weak and lower, which change has been reflected here, sales having heen made at a substantial decline on last weeks prices.We quote No.1 9%c@10e and No.2 about 8c.Stocks are fair in amount, but no augmenied moyerttnt is anticipated till the labour difficulties are adjusted.A moderate business has been done in green butchers hides at $8, $7 and $6, for Nos.1, 2 and 3 respectively.Sheepskins continue firm at $1 each, and calfskins steady at 12c.IRON AND HARDWARE-\u2014The pig iron market has heen devoid of new features and is without animation, dealers being indifferent about taking orders on account of stock taking.Stocks of such brands as Gartsherrie and Summerlee are | well under control and $26 is the figure now demanded.We quote $26 for No.1 leading brands, and $22.50 @ $23 for Eglinton.Scotch warrants are cabled steady at 48s 6d.Stocks in Connal\u2019s yards are decreasing at about the rate of 2,000 tons a week.The foreign demand shows a marked improvement over last year, the shipments being 25 per cent.greater which tends to reduce stocks.On the other side a general feeling prevails that at present prices the production of iron is unremunerative, in proof of which it may be stated that none of the joint stock companies have paid a dividend this year.This fact speaks for itself, but it is vet doubtful what effect will be produced on the market.The trade in bar iron bas been confined to small parcels on a nominal basis of $2.25.Sheets and boiler plate are unchanged at $2.75 and hoops and bands at $2.50.The tinplates market has been without positive change, I.Ccharcoals going slowly at $5.25 and cokes at $4.40 @ $4.50.It has long been known that tinplates were being produced under cost, which has culminated in the recent heavy failures in Eu.land, where some 67 works have suspended during the last tem days.But whether this market will undergo any change therefore, is yet a matter of conjecture.Canada plates are dull and nominal, the season being virtually over.We quote $3.15 for Penn.and equal.Ingot tin has again receded, the latest cable being £93, a decline of £2 5s during the week.In this market a weak feeling has prevailed, and sales were made at 23%c, a decline of 1c since our last report.Copper is cabled steady at £73 10: for best selected ingots.Here the market is dull but steady at 19%e to 20c.A small movement in lead is reported at easier prices, we quote 4c.The market for spelter is firm, with business at 43c@se.LIQUORS AND WINES\u2014Continue in good demand for all kinds.Ports and sherries are in demand and gins and brandies move out very freely.LEATHER.\u2014Investigation into the general situation in the leather market oes not result in the discovery of any essentially new features, the obstacles in the way of business being much the same as last week.Manufacturers, we understand, have resolved to maintain the lockout until January 8, and this virtually insures a chill market for a week or two.Holders are able to furnish stock when required, but deem it the safest polic not to urge sales, having decided to adapt themselves to the present special circumstances of the market.Prices are quoted unchanged for the leading lines.No I Spanish sole 26c@27¢c; No.2 24c@25c; No.I China 23c@24c; No.2 2lc@22c; English sole, 46c@48c; No.1 Buflalo 22¢ @23c: No.2 20c@2le; No.1 slaughter 27¢/@28¢; rough hide for belting, 32c@ 34c;

week, the disposition to purchase being based on the actual re- wrement principle for consumption, ealers, however, believe the conditions favour higher prices, but this dues not serve to stimulate the demand.We quote car lots 19¢@194c; broken lots, 20e, and single barrels 204c@21c.The New York market for crude is quiet at 73c@73c, refined is quoted at 74c@7c.Latest juo- tations from foreign

but transactions are not extensive \u2018enough to furnish ground for changing quotations.On Change there was nothing doing outside of a very small local demand.Reported sales were 50 brls superior extra at $4.85, and 50 brls fine at $3.90.Our quotations are nominally unchanged as follows: \u2014 Superior Extra, perbrl.$4.85 @ $4.90 Extra Superfins.ce 4.75@ 480 Fancy.\u2026.- 0.00 @ 0.00 Spring

market, the most unfavourable feature of which is the difficulty in precuring freight.Buyers are slow to bid even low .figures, and unanimously refuse to ope- ate.Our quotations are nominaliy repeated as follow: \u2014Canada red winter wheat, $1.07@1.08; Canada white, $1.03 @ 1,04; Canada spring, $1.05 @ 1.06.Peas are completely neglected and ryminally quoted at 89c@90c, with buyers some distance

yesterday, though December closed #e lower at 92ÿc.The latter options, however, were strong, and closed ic @jc higher at 93}c January, 93%c February.The corn market was strong.December attracted

options but weaker on December which closed 4c lower at 71}c.The other options advanced fc @ jc, closing at 66ic January, 654c February; 643c March, 64c April, 63ic May.The sales on the last call were 600,000 bushels wheat, and 1,300,000 corn.Ocean grain freights were a trifle easier at 63d per bushel by steam to Liverpool.Beerbohlm\u2019s cable advices of to-day\u2019- date report the British

34,580,000 bush; rye, 5,805,000 bush; potatoes, 13,760,000 bush; tobacco, 28,750,000 lbs.The Bombay Gazette of October \u2018says that fully 60 per cent of this year\u2019s wheat crop still remains up country, excessive railway charges forming an excessive barrier to its being sent to the seaboard.The receipts of the Great Indian Peninsular Railroad have, in consequence, fallen off, and, more than that, frem the exporters point of view as well as from the point of view of the creditors of \u2018India abroad, the peasants are said to be discouraged by the bad results of their labour from sowing wheat largely in the coming season.As near as we can estimate, it takes about as mueh to bring a ton of Indian wheat, some 800 miles inland, to the seaboard, as it takes to bring the same weight all the way from Chicago to Liverpool.Taking into account the fact that the foreign merchant pays the Indian cultivator practically what pleases himself, this excessive disproportion may be stood in seasons when the price of wheat is comparatively high but in a year like the present, when prices are low, the exporter cannot afford to pay the Indian peasant, plus the excessive railway charges, so he lets the wheat alone, Presently, perhaps, the railway managers will see oh lowering their charges; and then,-though their profits be less for a time, trade may be resumed again, Provisions \u2014 The local hog product market retains former dull features intact, the only impertant transaction we hear of being a car-load of western mess pork at $21.50.The demand for lard continues most

and by this the whole Dominion has profitted.It may be that profitting by the experience of Canada and by that of other countries some time back, it was resolved upon as the policy of the German Empire that the channel of the Weser between Bremerhaven and Bremen should be improved ; but it is only now that we learn the work is to be vigourously prosecuted.We are not informed of the extent to which the channel is to be deepened; but, we muy rest assured that the authorities with the vigour and energy which characterizes them will see to it that what is done is of a serviceable character.They will not we think construct a mere ditch to accommodate vessels of the most moderate tonnage; but will design it to be ample for the present, and with every facility for further enlargement hereafter.The deepening of the St.Lawrence channel has been proceeded with by stages ;it has been performed faithfully and well, and to this the country is indebted for the steady and substantial advancement which has been made.Without the port of Montreal where would the cities of Ontario be?Where would be their prosperity?Had they been compelled to be dependent on the port of Quebec is it likely that those citieswould have progressed at the rate which has been theirs?Railroads or no railroads, experience has shown that.freight always takes the cheapest routes.Viewed in that light the railways cannot compete with the waterways, though, on the other side, owing to the immense amount of business done over them, the railway competition and the rivalry with Canada has been 50 keen as to induce the adoption by the State of New York of the Free Canal Constitutional Amendment, necessitating, on our part, similar action, From an English contemporary we condense the following review of the situation in Europe as between railways and canals which will, we think, afford some ground for the reflection of our readers.\u201cIt is somawhat remarkable to find how attention from all directions is being turned toward the lately discarded canal system of transport.The introduction of the iron roadways caused the once popular waterways to be deserted, but now people are beginning to discover that they were over hasty in believing that the transport system of the future would be monopolized by the railway.The reaction in favour of canals that has set inis becoming more pronounced every day.Apart from the ship canals that are being made in various parts of the world, with a view to shorten the routes between certain places, during the ast year a large number of schemes have been set on foot for the development of in- Jand water-courses to make them navigable by vessels of large tonnage, The Liverool and Manchester Canal scheme has been roved feasible, and the works will probably be commenced inside two years, tor the six millions that it will cost cannot be regarded as an obstacle.In France £40,000,000 has recently been voted by the Parliament for inland canal isation works, and it is thought that at least five times that sum will have been spent upon such works before the system of inland water carriage in the country has been completed.Additional canals, we learn from Engineering, are likewise in course of construction or projected in Belgium, a country well adapted y nature for such works.Then, going into Prussia, we find that there is a speed beginning with the canal scheme, which aims at connecting the Rhine, the Weser, and the Elbe, at an estimated cost of £7,- 000,000.In Russia, amoung other public works about to be undertaken at the expense of the State, is another great canal scheme, which proposes connecting the rivers Dneister and Vistula, so as to bring the ports of Odessa and Dantzic into direct communication.One of the probabilities of the next few years is an Egyptian pro- Ject\u2014namely, à great inland waterway to rival the Suez Canal; and a ship canal through the Isthmus of Panama may be regarded as one of the certainties of the immediate future.More or less similar Southern Europe, Southern Asia, &c., 80 that it is evident that canals, so far from having had their day, are on the fair way to attain a position they have never yet held even in the days before the locomotive was thought of.\u201d If these canal facilities have been proven to be essential in Europe as national works, to a great extent for their own accommodation, how much more necessary are not the most improved facilities required by us whose mission it is to divide with a far larger and wealthier country the trade of the continent ! If, for instance, Germany feels compelled to bring ocean vessels up to Bremen, actually building therefor an almost new channel, would it not be folly on our part not te en deavour to maintain the supremacy of the St.Lawrence route of which our rivals are seeking te deprive us?It cannot be doubted that Montreal is an ocean port, and tho one which is nearest to the point of production of exports and of the consumption of imports.If the trade is to be diverted from Montreal, where is it to go ?The \u2018Hamilton Spectator seems to be the most exercised of all our Canadian contemporaries over the subject of freeing the canals, and of making Montreal a free port.It says :-\u2014 \u2018\u2018 To consumers of the goods it makes no difference whether the exchange is made at Montreal, Quebec, Tadousac, Rimouski, or any one of half a dozen ports.The traffic seeks Montreal now because the merchants are there, the storehouses, banks, and other facilities for business.Trade is slow to move out of its accustomed channels; and the enterprise of Montreal merchants, backed by large expenditures of Government money, has so far succeeded in bringing ocean ships up to the foot of Lachine rapids.\u201d .In the event of the exchange of goods being made at Quebec, Tadousac or Rimouski, additional handling would be required.At Montreal the cargo can be loaded direct for the other side the Atlantic without the lighterage that would be required to make the voyage to Quebec, supposing that the water route were taken.The imports, too, at Montreal find a port further inland than any other which they can reach.In a word the incoming and return cargo meet each other at the most eligible point there is in the Domi.ion, being also here supplied with all the required railway facilities.Our eon- temporary declares ¢ without contradiction that the St.Lawrence route has enormous advantages over any other.The distance is less, the canalage is less, the lockage is less.\u201d And yet, satisfied with this for the present, it ignores the fact that the world moves, and asks \u201cif the route is infinitely superior to its rivals, and if the port is the natural port for that route, why is the Government asked for other millions of money?Why paint the rose or add a perfume to the violet?Why add perfection to that which is already perfect?\u201d Hamilton was accustomed to boast of what she was as she stood in Burlington Bay at the head of Lake Ontario.Has mot she progressed ! Are not her buildings and her manufactures an improvement on what they were years ago?Have her citizens displayed no enterprise?Have they not painted their rose and perfumed their violet?Have they or have they not endeavoured to keep pace with the times.They admit that Montreal \u201cwas the natural port in older days.Then the largest ships-navigat- ing the ocean could reach its wharves.But vhey can do go no longer.\u201d Because other cities have become Hamilton's commercial rivals have the Hamilton merchants given up all hope of doing business, have they folded their arms and allowed others to have it all their own way?Montreal, as we have proved out of the mouth of our contemporary, was the port of the Dominion.There was no change in her position.The times will not accommodate themselves to her and therefore the Dominion must bear their share of the expense of fitting her to meet the exigencies of the changed situation.The position that it is admitted Montreal bore to the Dominion she still bears and must ever bear, unless ocean navigation can be extended to the foot of the Rocky Mountains.THE London Imes thus alludes to the late Archbishop of Canterbury :\u2014\u201c Archbishops of Canterbury have been chosen before now chiefly on account of their possession of the negative virtue of being able to do nothing and to seem wise.Tait was chosen for other and higher qualities than.these ; at anyrrate, if he was not chosen for them, he certainly possessed and exhibited them.Alike in his personal character and in his public career he furnished a bright example of what the Church of England can be at its best.Manly piety and unfailing kindliness of disposition, commanding intelligence and statesmanlike breadth of view, untiring industry in spite of bodily weakness, and cheerful patience under heavy sorrows, à charity which knew no bounds and a fairness of mind which did full justice to all antagonists\u2014these, combined with a judgment so trained in great affairs and grave responsibilities that it was very seldom at fault, are qualities rare in any man, and rarer still, perhaps, in an Archbishop of Canterbury.There have been, no doubt, more brilliant occupants of the Archiepiscopal throne.There have been men whose lives fill a more striking page in history.But Tait has stood at the helm in troublous times; he has steered the ship past many a storm, and he leaves it in comparatively tranquil waters, We may be entering on totally new phases, and the good and the evil of the future is, as he said, far beyond our ken.But whatever of good or evil the future may have in store for the Church, she may confidently reckon on being able to secure the one and overcome the other so long as she can produce such men as the late\u2019 Archbishop of Canterbury.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 en THE address of the British Associated Chambers of Commerce to Mr.Gladstone, recommending the appointment of a Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, shows that present conditions differ so render considerable departmental rearrangements necessary.À general feeling prevails that the statistical work of the embrace agriculture, trade, manufactures, shipping, and money in all their branches, the statistics on these subjects now published failing to give a sufficiently comprehensive representation of the aggregate of British industry.It is set forth that a feeling of uneasiness exists that questions affecting commercial relations with foreign countries, and even with Iudia and the colonies, are not unfrequently subordinated to political, financial, or colonial considerations.Especial stress is laid on the importance of the proper collection and collation of commercial statistics, and strong pressure is being exercised to secure the object aimed at.In Canada we are now agitating for the establishment of a department for the collection of vital statistics.There is an analogy between the cases, even if we take no higher ground than the commercial value of human life.T > MR.Justice BARRETT, of New York, recently gave utterance to sentiments of judicial sympathy which are highly commendable.His remarks were so perti- \u2018nent as to evoke from the New York Telegraph the following : \u201cVery pertinent are the remarks which Judge Barrett has just made in regard to a case in which the virtue of a poor girl, compelled to work at very low wages, is concerned.He referred emphatically to the low atmosphere of vulgar animality running through it, and to the cheapness wit which female virtue and honour had been treated.His remarks derive fresh importance from the fact that the peculiar phase of immorality referred to is one to which the starvation wages whereat many poor girls are compelled to work peculiarly expose them, especially when they are in the employ of vicious men.It is very desirable that a judge should think it not beneath his dignity to speak with emotion in vindication and admiration of charity, even when the victim is merely an obscure factory girl condemned to harsh warfare in the battle of life.\u201d tt ren tnt ES THE streets of New York are now being utilized by companies engaged in laying steampipes for the distribution of steam, operations which it appears are not unaccompanied with danger to the publig inasmuch as accidents are frequently occurring owing to the giving way of bad metal.The vapour bursts through causing showers of stones and dirt which in their descent come very near breaking the heads of pedestrians, creating much fright, doing a great deal of damage, and worse than all, exposing all passers-by to considerable risk.Nobody\u2019s life is safe around these explosive points, and the people who are compelled by their business to remain in the vicinity all day long are sincerely to be pitied.There is hardly another instance of a so-called advance in civilization being accomplished by such barbarous methods.L\u2019Officiel, of Paris, publishes a decree appointing a Commission, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs as its chairman, to examine into the propriety of creating a Minister of Colonies.This Commission includes ten members of Parliament ; Messrs.Lenoel and Rouvier, Vice-Presi- dents; Hebsard, Ferault, Lajaille, Schoelcher, Bertet, Blanscribe, Felix Faure, Horard, the chairman of the Marine Section and of Colonies in the Council of State, and a representative of each Minister.The cause of the want of success which has attended all previous efforts at colonization by France may now find a solution, and we may, perhaps, expect to see the process of grafting carried out in such a way that che new branches will assume the life and vigour of the parent tree, instead of drooping and withering away as they have hitherto done.A CONTEMPORARY observes: \u201cIf young Mr.Gladstone has accepted the office of interpreter of the dark sayings of old Mr.Gladstone, he will have his time fully occupied, and the Treasury foolscap will be expended at an alarming rate.\u201d Now, we are inclined to the opinion that Earl Beaconsfield was much more of a man of mystery than Mr.Gladstone.The former boasted of having brought on \u201c peace with honour,\u201d the events scarcely Justified.Mr.Gladstone did not boast of what he would do, but he up and did in questions of Home as well as Foreign policy.1 - THE Administration.Report of the Central Provinces of India for 1881-82 states that the average attendance at schools was only 58,135 out of a population of nearly ten millions, and that only 4.7 per cent.of the whole male population were returned as under instruction or able to read and write.A considerably larger percentage of Mahomedans than of Hindus avail themselves of the education offered at the schools of the province.Miss C.C.LATHROP, an alleged lunatic, who has been confined in the Utica Insane Asylum, and who was examined by experts for the purpose of ascertaining her Mental condition, was yesterday pronounced sane by Judge Barnard.This carries with it a lesson fraught with deep interest to those interested in the working and success of such institutions.A REFORM meeting, for the County of Monk, was held at Welland port yesterday, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Toronto convention, and was well represented.There were about 75 or 100 chosen, after which R.Harcourt, M.P.P., who was present, was unanimously elected to contest the Riding in the coming local election.The Hamilton Spectator says:\u2014\u201c It is not at all surprising that the Gazette is no better informed concerning Hamilton than concerning Montreal.\u201d Nevertheless, it is a fact that the editor of the Gazette was at one time the editor of the same Spectator, which gives him this \u201c most unkindest cut of all.\u201d WE regret to learn from our telegraphic despatches that Mr.Justice Duff, of the Supreme Court, who was stricken with paralysis on Monday night, died yesterday morning.He was appointed in 1875 by the Mackenzie Government, and only returned home a few weeks ago from a six months stay on the Continent for the benefit of his health \u2014_\u2014 ee WE learn late last night, by telegram from London, that Dr.Benson, Bishop of | Boerd of Trade should be made to CA UNTLETS 220 ST.2%~ N.B.\u2014Open Every Evening until December AP y 8 Cakes, Bon-Bons, Cornucopias, December 19 1833 ESTABLISHED.[ IMPORT IN MARBLE FRENCH CARRIAGE CLOCKS, GILT, MARB December 19 ST.JAMES FUR STORE ! \u2018 WINTER OTF' 1882-83.FURS!

still to the fore, and when called upon, stand rhoulder to shoulder with those who now actively represent those who bore the brunt of the raising of the corps, and its labours from 1861 to 1866.The Vic\u2019s are still the \u2018\u201c pets\u201d of Montreal, and no one could deny this who was present last night at the Armory, in the old High School building.The scene on entering the main room was a most picturesque one, aud quite indescribable.Much labour, thought and good taste were displayed at all points.The decorations were in keeping with the place, and the arrangements of the several stalls could not have been more comfortable for those whogwished to see all the costly, handsome and choice articles laid out on the tables for inspection and sale.We shall attempt no detailed account of all the beautiful things we saw, but merely say to those who desire to make a useful as well as a pretty Christmas present to visit the Vics\u2019 fair and they will not fail to get an article to suit and at a reasonable price.The several stalls are ranged round the hall, numbering from No.1 on the right as one enters to No.6, which occupies the west end.At No.1 Company (Captain C.Radigers), the visitor becomes at once interested in the numerous beautiful articles displayed, all of a most use ful character, especially a handsome chair which wiil be raffled for at the close.The ladies waiting here are Mrs.Radiger, Mrs.Hunt, Misses Snowdon, Ida Stewart, McIntyre, Gardner and Hunt.Between this table and No.2 is a post office, where tie duties are faithfully carried out by a couple of pretty postmistresses, though the rates of postage are exhorbitanatly large.No.2 Company (Capt.Ahern\u2019s) table is also well stocked with choice nick-nacks, which are sold repidi under the persuading influence of Mrs.Logan, Misses Baillie, Logan, Laidlaw, Watkins, Mrs.Stokes and Bowden.No.3 Company\u2019s (Capt.Fred.Henshaw) tables are waited upon by a galaxy of beauty, dressed in \u2018the charming costumes of Normandy peasants, The tables are loaded down with everything that the greatest conniseur in art could wish for, and sold rapidly.The ladies at these tables were Mrs.Rockwood, Misses Davidson, Hutton, Aldwell.Stanley, Hodgson, Stephen, Ferrier, Louson, Slater, Maxwell, Smith and White.No.4 Compauy\u2019s (Captain Belcher\u2019s) table is most unique, and the most striking in the fair, having for its canopy a gigantic Chinese umbrella, from which are trained garlands of smilax and roses.The costly bijouterie and pictures here are looked at and dearly purchased by lovers of art.The ladies who wait on the wants of purchasers here are Mrs.C.Davidson, Misses Ogilvie, Ives, Doucet, Plimsoll, Belcher and Kelly.No.5 Company\u2019s table is also well laid out and presents an oriental appearance from its innumerable Persian rugs, mats and carpets hung around.Here are to be found Mrs.Anderson, Misses Clark, Walker Douglas, Kirby, Luddington, Miller, Mercer, Ross, Holcombe, Foote, Dillon, MeGee and Ansley attentively working for the benefit of their pet defenders the Vics.No.6 Company (Capt.Try-Davis\u2019) table which is under the care of Mrs.E.A.Whitehead is filled like the rest of the stalls with a choice selection of articles of vertu.The youug ladies at this table are dressed a la militaire in Vic's body tunies and cross belts, and look most charming amazons Theyare Mrs.H.Abbett, Mrs.J.A.Gordon Misses Harrison, Dawson and Graham.The receipts yesterday were very large, but to day it 1s thought they will be larger.and we trust 50, for the old \u201c Vie\u2019s,\u201d on their 21st year, deserve a handsome present from our citizens for the many services they have rendered.The side shows are all doing well.There is the gypsy encampment, where wonderful fortunes are told by pretty Romanies ; the art gallery, where Millais, Landseer, and other artists are put in the shade; then there is the fish pond and the shooting gallery, where some good luck comes to all.One of the most novel features of the Fair is the voting on the ugliest officer of the cofps.At the close last night the vote stood as follows :\u2014

the parish was free from debt, and that by the 1st of May it would be able to show a clear balance sheet.The general opinion of the meeting seemed to be in favour of continuing the work of the parish, and making every effort to remain \u2018independent.After a good deal of discussion a motion was unanimously passed appointing Messrs.J.G.Shacdell and Ww.ardsell, the churchwardens,W.R.Salter and T.Lamb, the delegates to Synod, and Mr.H.J.Dart, a Committee.to ask some clergyman to take the parish, with power to make all necessary arrangements.The Congregation seem quite united, and determined to continue the parish in its present independent state.fie understood that by the kindness of Principal Henderson, the students of the Diocesan College will conduct the services of the Church.THE WINTER CARNIVAL.MEETING OF THE BALL MUSIC AND PRINTING COMMITTEE.A meeting of the Music and Printing sub-committee of the Ball Committee was held last evening at the Windsor Hotel.Mr.J.S.McLennan presided, and there was a full attendance of members.The business before the meeting was the consideration of the details of the proposed musical programme and the arrangement of the dancing.These were both fully discussed.A number of very artistic programmes, sent in by various city printers, were submitted to the Committee, but it was decided to call for tenders, in the hope that something of a special character, dis- tinetly appropriate to the occasion, will be sent in.A sub-committee was appointed to arrange for the orchestra and the minor details of the Ball.The Committee then adjourned.NOTES.The price of tickets for the ball was erroneously stated by us the other day.The revised terms are: \u2014Ticket for lady and gentleman, $10; gentleman\u2019s ticket, $8 ; lady\u2019s ticket, $4, and admission to the gallery, $3.\u2019 The Executive Committee meets tonight at the Windsor at 8.There willlalso be meetings of the Ice Palace, Curling, Driving and other Committees, in accordance with notices issued by the Secretary.The meeting of the Ball Invitation Su Committee called for to-night has been postponed until to-morrow (Friday) at 8 clock, The subscriptions to date amount to $3,700.GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY.FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD.The Chief of Police received by the English mail yesterday a circular from Mr.George Williams, Chief Superintendent of Police, Liverpool, England, containing the information of a great diamond robbery.It seems that the diamonds were Ina paper parcel about 64 inches long, 44 wide, and 14 to 2 inches deep, and were consigned to a parly in New York from Paris, via Liverpool.The \u2018parcel must have been stolen some time between October 31st and November 12th, as on the former date they were given into the hands of the forwarders, and the loss was discovered on the latter day.There were twenty-six lots in the parcel, twenty- three of which were composed of brilliants, and the remainder mixed jewels, were numbered from 1453 to 1478 inclusive, and embraceffrom 5} carats to 61ÿ carats.Mr.V.I.Verbraeker, of 16 Castle street, Liverpool, England, agent of the Paris underwriters, will pay the sum of £500 sterling for

and which will enable vessels to take fair cargoes without being overloaded.The \u201c Plimsoll Mark,\u201d in some cases, hag not prevented vessels from being overloaded, placed as it is on the vessel's side by the owners or captains without restriction, except by the seamen on signing articles, who, as a rule, understand very little about the freeboard a vessel ought to have.mportant a matter as the freeboard of a vessel undoubtedly ls, the securing of the cargo is quite as important.A number of vessels have been lost this fall, in some cases none of the crew being left to tell the tale, as in the case of the steamship \u201c Lord Nelson,\u201d lately lost in the Bay of Biscay while on a voyage from the Black Sea.I have no doubt the survivors, had there been any, would have had the same story to reldte as the only survivors of the steamship \u201c Winton,\u201d also lostsin the Bay of Biscay from the Black Sea, in November last.He relates how the vessel experienced a violent gale \u201cfrom the North-West with heavy sea ; shortly afterwards the cargo shifted, the vessel fell over on her beam ends, and afterwards foundered, he being the only one saved.No sooner do the October gales commence than news comes daily of the ill- fated vessels, and of others which have gone down at sea.Three thousand lives more or less are lost at sea every year, 2,780 being the number for the year ending June 1881.This Fall there has been as many lives lost at ses as there would be in a large colliery accident, and people scarcely think about it, perhaps as some say, \u201csailors are used to it\u201d but when we think of the number of widows and children left to struggle on alone, without their breadwinners, I think in the interests of humanity, compulsory rules for the loading of vessels ought to be universally adopted, the present rules in many ports not being stringent enough, and even what rules there are being seldom attended to.To show that losses to a certain extent are preventable, I may mention that not | a single loss through over-loading or bad- storage has occurred from the Port of Montreal during the last ten years, and I have no doubt that if the Montreal rules were universally adopted, and disinterssted men employed to see them carried out, many valuable lives would be spared.Enclosed I forward you an extract from Shield\u2019s Gazette giving an account by the only survivor of the loss of the 8, S.\u201c Winton.\u201d Yours truly, MasTER MARMIER.Montreal, December 2, 1883.XMAS PILLOW LETTER MISSION FOR HOSPITALS AND ASYLUMS.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD : SIR,\u2014Will you allow me to call attention to the \u201cXmas Letter Mission,\u201d in these glad and festive times, which bring joy to so many homes, and in which we are called to consider the self-sacrificing love of Him whose advent has dowered our lives with all His blessings, We are sure the Christian public will not fail to remember the lonely and suffering in our Modpitals and institutions amid their domestic joy.The Secretary has to thank those friends all over the country who have responded to the former appeal.A considerable sum is yet required to enable the missionto give æ souvenir of Christian sympathy to those oft forgotten and suffering ones, who languish in our institutions.Let such as would like to aid in working gladsome emotions in the bosoms of distress, not fail to send in thir donations to Miss Douglass, General Secretary- Treasurer, 1,693 St.Catherine street.Yours truly, Montreal, Dec., 20, 1882.CIVIC AFFAIRS.ROAD COMMITTEE.A special meeting of the Road Committee was held yesterday afternoon, when there were present Ald.Laurent, Chairman; Grenier, Hood, Kennedy, Proctor, dJeannotte, Hagar, Robert, Donovan, Roy, Beausoleil, Thos.Wilson.APPOINTMENT OF SECRETARY AND ACCOUNTANT.A long discussion took place regarding the best manner in which to choose the employes of the department, whether by promoting persons already in the department, or by taking in outsiders.On motion of Ald.Jeannotte it was resolved that the Committee continue to choose as previously from outsiders and also that all employes of the department be obliged to speak both French and English.\u2018The Committee then proceeded to open the applications for the vagant secretaryship and accountantcy of the department.There were fourteen applicants for the former and eleven for the latter position.+A! very long discussion ensued between the rench and English members, as to the proportion of French Canadian employes in the department.The wrangle over the merits of the respective candidates continued for over two hours, Ald.Jeannotte and Robert.being the speakers for the greater part of that time, urging the claims of the French Canadians to consideration.After some further time had been spent in the-same useless\u2018way, it was resolved on ,motion of Ald.Hood to appoint Mr.P.O\u2019Reilly as secretary, and Mr.R.J.Rod- \u2018den, accountant, Afd.Robert then made a motion asking for the appointments to be subject to the ratification of Council, which was lost.Ald.Jeannotte then made another protest.against the appointments of Englishspeaking people, which was recorded in the minutes.After the transaction of some routine business the méeting adjourned.A \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 COUNTY OF HOCHELAGA AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, \\ ANNUAL MEETING.The annual meeting of the County of Hochelaga Society was held at the Canada Hotel, St.Gabriel street,at noon yesterday.The President of the Society, Mr.Joseph Brousseau, occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance of members, among whom were Messrs.Thomas Irving, James Henderson, (eo.Buchanan, Lapointe, P.Gagnon, W.Evans, Hugh Brodie, and many others.After routine business, the Secretary- Treasurer, Mr.H.Brodie, read his annual fe which showed a very satisfactor ale of affairs.It referred to the fall \u2018show of cattle, the spring exhibition of horses, the annual loughing magch on the farm of Mr.Geo.Buchanan, Cote St, Michel, and other matters.At the proughing ,match prizes were offered by Ir.A.Desjardins, M.P., Hon.Louis Beaubien, M.P.P., the Local and Federal members for the county.His Worship Mayor opposite \u201c View t -each tenant.for ploughing match, $108 ;

few years ago free thought was considered almost impossible in the City of Montreal, he could now ganization which had gained for itself the respect of citizens of all creeds and nationalities.This result was due to the fact that the aim of the Club had not been aggressive warfare against existing institutions or sects, but had been confined to the advancement of our well-being and that of our fellow-men by seeking the truth in all fields of investigation.The indispensable qualification for the Club was intellectual and moral worth, so that a certificate of membership might always be regarded as one of irreproachable character, and so long as the Club would maintain that policy it would continue to erijôy the respect and esteem of all.No invitations, were ever made to join the Club, it being a question of voluntary desire to do so and qualification for the position.WEATHER REPORT.MowTrEar, December 20.Temperature in the shade by Standard Thermometer, observed by Hearn,

assured.NORDHEIMER\u2019S HALL.M, G.A\u2019S, CONCERT.The first annual concert, given by the non-commissioned officers of the Montreal Garrison Artillery, took place last evening in the above hall, and was very largely attended,mand proved to be both artistically and financially a grand success.The overture was capitally played by the band, after which came the opening remarks by Brigade Sergeant-Major W.J.Pendleton, who, in the course of his speech, said some people in England had found fault with the team, who had gone across the Atlantic, of having been composed of both regulars and volunteers, but the next time another team is called upon to go to England to compete, it will be composed of volunteers only, and he, the speaker, felt sure of bringing a prize to Canada.As is usual iu the regular army the officers of the brigade were all present, and sang a chorus, entitled \u201cCanada,\u201d by Hatton, in very good style,and were loudly applauded.Miss McGarry\u2019s readings were well rendered and.she was encored.The Harmony Quartette replaced the Weber Quartette, who were unavoidedly prevented from appearing, but the audience did not lose much, as the Harmony gave ample justice to what they had undertaken to sing, and they had to respond to several encores.\u2018A flute solo, ¢ Mary Blane,\u201d by Drum Major F.Smith, was well executed, and he had to repeat it Miss Crompton\u2019s songs, \u201cHeart, whence thy Joy and Sorrow\u201d and \u201cDeep in my Heart,\u201d were very well received by tbe audience.The feature of the evening was the bayonet exercise, which took place between the first and second parts of the programme.The squad, under command of Major Atkinson, deserve credit for the manner in which thep performed the different manceuvres, notwithstanding that the stage was rather small for bayonet exer cise.Battery Sergeant Major J.Hibbins sang with his usual ability, a comic song which brought down the house,and had to respond to several encores.The other pieces on the programme were also well rendered, and the concert came to a close by the band playmg \u201cGod Save the Queen.\u201d Professor James Wilson presided at the piano.The Committee of management are to be congratulated on the success of their entertainment, and we hope that the Garrison Artillery will continue to give such concerts as the one given last night.SPORTING INTELLIGENCE The ice yachtsmen of New Hamburg and Poughkeepsie, New York, are making extensive preparations for the opening of the season.The fleet of the New Hamburg Club consists

state that volumes have been written upon the above subject since the days of the renowned bon vivant, Cornaro, down to the latest treatise designed to enable us to judge for ourselves in the - appropriateness of our habitual eating and drinking.It is impossible to deny the great utility of such information; but, unfortunately, mankind 1n general lends a deaf ear to warnings when the tastes and the passions are in question.Asthe world wags, we fear the people would continue to eat and drink just according to their taste and humor for a long time yet to come, especially when they find that, by a timely recourse to some such medicine as Holloway\u2019a Pills, they can easily and readily get rid of all the constitutional disorders caused by over-feeding and intemperance, a few of these Pills sufficing in the majority of instance to set a man all right \u201d over night to begin his day of labour, after having yielded to the temptation of what is technical'y called \u201ca, blow out.\u201d No doubt your soda-water or citrate of magnesia may seem to be equally effective, but, unfortunately, in very many cases much more requires to be done than can be effected by these otherwise very pleasant and saline libations.All over-feeding\u2014every act of intemperance\u2014must necessary contaminate the blood, and the vitiated blood must necessarily impair every organ through which it flows.Now, in order to correct this effect, a radical remedy is required, and such is that invented by Holloway, whose Pills, as we have stated, have superseded almost every other * corrective\u2019 or \u201c\u201c alterative \u201d of the old school, Perhaps this results, not only from the power of their purifying agency, but also from their gentle and almost imperceptible regenerating action\u2014without any inconvenience in the general routine of life\u2014requiring no extraordinary precautions to prevent \u201c\u2018 catching cold \u201d or morbid reactions.If report be correct, no medicine stands in higher repute at our fashionable clubs and officers\u2019 quarters than Holloway\u2019s Pills, although very few of the patients can allow their gratitude to admit the fact in return for the benefit .\u20147 he Adviser.TOOKE\u2019S CHRISTMAS GIFTS! 1 The largest assortment of suitable Christmas Gifts in the city to select from at prices that defy

A second dispatch says the City Bank closed on account of Upton appropriating $350,000 of its funds to carry on oil speculations.The amount of deposits is estimated at $500,000 ; amount of paper held by the Bank $800,000.Upton was Treasurer of the Western New York Episcepal Diocese and had its funds in the Bank.The \u2018Savings Bank of the city had large sums - «deposited.- \u2014The Boston Journal publishes a series «of interviews with leading sugar refiners of that city, in which dissatisfaction is manifested with the report of the tariff commission, So far as sugar is.concerned they say the proposition of the Planters\u2019 Association is ide.tical with the scale of duties proposed by the commission in its report.lt is claimed by the commission that the change in tariff rates on sugar will amount to 15 per cent.This the Boston refiners deny.\u201d Ou the contrary, they are of unanimous opinion that the average duties on the grades of sugar now used for refining is higher by the sehedule of the commission tham the average duty paid under the present law, which is 25 per cent.above the general war tarif rates.In order to make the reduction commensurate with that recommended for other dutiabley merchandise, such as cotton, 50 per cent.should have been taken off.But the Louisiana planters, who produce but 8 per cent.of 1,000,000 tons consumed annually in the United States, demand this excessive duty, which is, in reality, 3 cents on every pound of the granulated article The glucose manufacturers and the California refiners, together with the Southern planters (whose president was a member of the tariff commission), unite their forces to keep up this odious exaction.The refiners, as well as the consumers, demand » radical reduction of the duties on raw sugar.iia 170$, and on sales dropped to 1693.dividend.Exchange were offering at 1764, with bids at 1723.Montreal Telegraph were quiet at 123 @ AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.VOL.LXXIV.\u2014No.304.MONTREAL.THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1882.PRICE, THREE CENTS.FINANCIAL, | Monetary circles during the past week | have not been particularly brisk.The, approach of the holiday season perhaps,\" has had a little to do with the dull state ! i of the markets.Apparently \u201cbulls\u201d and \u201cbears\u201d for the moment find, like Othello, \u201c their occupation gone.\u201d There | is no lack of money, it is to be obtained in abundance, but sh-ewd operators can- | not see their way clear at present in em- | ploying it to advantage.We are cognizant of the fact that it is not the dut y of a newspaper to advise or suggest to capitalists how they should employ their money, or to take them to task for their ; indifference, even if they choose to lock it up and keepit unemployed.But the keeping of it idle entails some small loss to \u2018hemselves and a great deal to the community at large, while trade of every description becom es depressed and sluggish.| The stock market maintains, under all circumstances, a strong and firm tone, which it would not otherwise do were it not that the large operators looked speedily for a change in values, and one for the better.There is no great pressure at the moment from commercial borrowers for accomodation.\u201cGilt edge\u201d paper is readily discounted at the banks at 7@74, and Call and Shortdated loans are obtainable at 6@7 per cent.according to the nature of the collateral.The market for sterling exchange is a shade weaker on a weak inquiry.Bankers\u2019 60-day bills are negotiated at 83@S4 and demand drafts at 9@9%.Currency on New York § to 4 premium.In New York the market for foreign exchange is dull, there being but little demand from importers, The supply of banker bills seems to be more than sufficient for the market.The offerings of commercial bills are not large, but there was a reduction of rates by one of the leading drawers this morning.The posted rates were 4.81/@4.81} and 4.85@4.Sixty-day bills | were 4.80] and 4.80% Demand was, 4.847 and 4.85.Cables were 4.85% and 4.86.Commercial bills, 4.78% and 4.79%.Continental exchange was quiet and firm.Francs were 5.233 and 5.20;

trade and commerce.Lastweek we had to report a dull and flat condition of affairs among wholesale merchants, and this week there is practically no improvement.The fine sleighing over goed roads has, however, made the country merchant and city retailers happy.They have been doing a very brisk trade, which must in the end give an impetus to business in a wholesale way.We certainly anticipate more movements in all the leading staples as soon as the usual Christmas festivities have been enjoyed and the New Year has fairly set in.We have to report no change this week in dry goods.Chemicals are.steady, and a fair jobbing trade doing.In groceries there is a very light movement.There have been sales of about 1,000 half-chests of low grade Japan teas from 14c @ 20c, and ef 500 half-chests of medium from 32e @ 38c.Sugars are sluggish and unchanged in quotations ; in refining, granulated rules at 8$c @ 82c as to quantity and quality, yellows ranging from 7}c @ 8%c according to brightness, Coffees are firm, Jamaica selling at 12c, Motha 30c @ 31c, and Java 17e @ Mc.Molasses continue dull at 50c @ 51c for Barbadoes, Trinidad 44c @ 45c, Antigua 47c, and syrups are in good request at 525 @ 65c as to sample.There is little or nothing doing in dried fruits- Valencias are held at 7}c @ 74c, and eur- rants 6c @ 6ic as to quality.Spices are in request and scarce, and rice moves out slowly at last week\u2019s quotations.The oil market is fairly active, sales of round lots of steam-refined having been made at 873c @ 90, and for single barrels at 95.Cod \u201cA\u201d Newfoundland is held firm a 674c.The demand for fish has been unprecedented, and dealers are pretty well cleaned out.Stocks on hand now are small, and prices are likely to advance be- Hoze- Trent comes round, The metal markets during the week have been in a lethargic condition, and prices generally have not changed.Pig iron continues firm for No.1 leading brands; bar is steady and unchanged; tin plates and Canada plates dull; ingot tin weak and lower; copper steady; lead weak and spelter firm.Dealers are now mainly engaged in taking stock, and do not anticipate much activity till after the holidays.The leather market, so far as demand from manufacturers is concerned, may be considered a complete blank, which leaves prices in a nominally unchanged position.A moderate movement in imported hides has taken place at weaker prices, the market having declined in sympathy with the West.Green butcher\u2019s hides and skins are unchanged.Petroleum kas moved off into consumption to the customary amount and the market shows a disposition to stiffen as Western refiners claim to be ready to put prices up.WHAT IS A DESPATCH?In some quarters there seems to be a certain amount of ambiguity regarding the meaning of the phrase \u201ca despatch,\u201d but when it is used in the commercial columns of a newspaper it can ouly be credited with one meaning.Our esteemed morning contemporary published yesterday morning what purporte! to be a despatch from Chicago, which read as follows:\u2014 \u201cThe supply of corn here is simply larger than is wanted, and the most of the new corn is not dry enough to store.It was noted that a year ago we had sold nearly 50,000,000 bushels corn to go South, while this year the South is a seller instead of a buyer.\u201d Our contemporary should not endeavour to palm off on the public as a despatch what he evidently clipped from the Chicago Tribune.That enterprising paper in its issue of Sunday last, said in its report of the corn market: \u2014 \u2018The supply here is simply larger than is wanted, and the most of the new corn is not dry enough to store.It was noted Saturday that a year ago we had sold 50,000,000 of corn to go South, while this year the South is an anzious seller instead of a buyer.\u201d In callin attention to this subject our only desire has been to see justice done to the Chicago TMbune, whose information had \u2018been used, perhaps with a view of roping in more \u201cshorts.\u201d By the above our readers will, perhaps, be enlightened as to what a \u201c despatch 7 means accordin, to the light of the \u201cleading commercia journal.\u201d HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.By our latest English exchanges we observe that the usual half-yearly \u201cgeneral court\u201d of the shareholders of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company was held at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon street, in the last week of November.Mr.Eden Colville, the Governor of the Company, was in the chair, ind there was a fairly ood attendance of the proprietors.The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, explained that the bulk, though not the whole, ot the furs traded in the past winter were now in the warehouses of the Company at London.Hz thought from the reports of their officers in the different districts that the fur trade was looking up, and though, owing to recent settlements, many places which used to be fur-bearing districts had ceased to be so, yet there still remained vast tracts of country which would yield fur in considerable quantities.As to their eneral trade at Winnipeg, the three months and a haf during which the business had been conducted at their new store had enabled them to come to the conclusion that the money laid out in the building was well spent, and that the trad® there was likely to prove a considerable success.As the railway advanced they had under consideration the best localities in which they could put fresh shops.There was a marked decrease in the demand for the company\u2019s land as compared with the time last year, a great portion of the former demand being speculative.Up to September 30 the gross amount of their land sales was £1,119,103, and of that amount £320,000 had been received up to the date of the present report.They bad to deduct the expenses from the beginning of the sales, and these, which at st were necessarily rather heavy, amounted now to £50,000.Of the balance of £260,000, they distributed £200,- 000, or £2 a share.At present the interest on the unpaid instalments about meet the current expenses of the land office, and the question was, when the £50,000 of expenses had been cleared off, what should be done with the interest.His attention had been called to one or two points raised in some letters to the financial papers as to the extent and value of the Company\u2019s land.He should be glad to give them the fullest information on both points,\u2018but as to the extent of the land it could not be ascertained till the Dominion Government had completed the surveys of the North-West.Sir John Rose seconded the motion for the adoption of the report.In reply to some remarks from one of the shareholders as to no interim dividend, the Chairman observed that he had always thoughtit an unwise policy to declare any interim dividend at all, and if the proprietors agreed they would not in future at that time of the year say they did intend to propose the interim dividend, but it would be generally understood that they would divide everything they had earned when they kiew the amount they had to deal with.Mr.Earp then rose, and criticised the control exercised by the Committee with regard to town and land sales, and he read an extract from the Toronto Globe to the effect that the Company had just sold land adjoining the site of Regiia at the ordinary price of wild lands, although it had been known for manymonths past that an important town was located in that re- ion.He asked the Secre to inform them if the Company still held any land adjoining the site.The Secretary was unable to give this information and the matter dropped.After a few remarks from Sir John Rose concerning the rapid progress which had been e in Manitoba and the North-West the report was adopted, a vote of thanks was passed to the Governor and Committee, and their re-election was proceeded with.RAILWAY NEWS.\u2014The Canada Southern crossing at Grosse Isle is stilll open, and the business of the road coutinues heavy.\u2014The Lake Shore hands call the New York, Chicago & St.Louis \u2018\u201c the Nickel Plate division of

heavy work.\u2014The Northern Central Railway it is reported will show, when its accounts for 1882 are made up, net earnings approximating $2.400,000, which will be about $750,- 000 increase over last

the Toronto division.\u2014Since the beginning of the year the Canadian Pacific Raitway has added 435 miles of track on the main line, 115 on the south-western branch, and 22 miles on the branch to Selkirk ; total, 572 miles besides 60 miles of side track.\u2014The New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio Road bas liabilities of $134,269.62, aud a mileage of 564.Mr.McHenry says the road earns $12,000,000 a year, while the officials\u2019 figures are but $5,659; 182.He claims the remainder is stolen before 1t reaches the treasury.\u2014The Union Pacific Railway Company has just closed its books for the payment of its quarterly dividend of 1} per cent.When it closed its books for the payment of its previous dividend the Boston office represented 150,5394 shares; at the closing on Saturday the Boston office had 172,320} shares, a gain in three mouths of 21,781 shares.\u2014The annual report of the Buftalo, New York & Philadelphia shows that the road\u2019s total earnings for the past year were $1,543, 164,52, and the disbursements $1,233,657.87 The Company carried 1,043,613 passengers during that period, and hauled 11,549,088 tous of freight.Nine persons were killed and fourteen injured.The capital stock paid in is $7,000,000 and the funded debt $11,000,000.\u2014The capital and funded debt of the railroad companies of the United States is $6,314,699,787.The actual cost of building and equipping the railroads now in operation is $5,577,996,931.The annual earnings amount to about $725,000,000, end the interest on bonds to $128,587,302.Last year the railways paid out $442,565, 071 for working expenses, and paid $93, 344,200 in dividends.\u2014The Wisconsin Central company have announced that the formal opening of their new Milwaukee & Lake Winnebago line, from Milwaukee to Neenah, by way of Fond du Lac and Oshkosh, will take place Monday next.The new line is sixty-five miles in length, and gives the Central company a complete line from Milwaukee to Ashland.This has been constructed in the most approved manner, with all steel rails and at a total cost of $1,950,000, which is $30,000 per mile.This includes all equipage and necessary buildings.\u2014Advices from London, Ontario, report that in the City Council three notices of motion repealing the granting of running powers along certain streets to the London unction railway, free water for twenty years, and exemption from taxatien for the same period, were introduced, and elicited a spirited debate.Ald.Birrel moved in amendment that a By-law be submitted to the people at the approaching elections granting a bonus of $30,000 to the London Junction to purchase the right of way through the property of the citizens; failing that, the By-law already passed hold good.After a \u2018lengthy discussion the amendment was carried by 11 to 8.The other motions were negatived on a similar vote reversed.\u2014A Washington despatch to the Detroit Free Press says Hubbell is preparing to lay before the Ways and Means Committee his case against Collector Bell, of Detroit.He said that the disclosures will be startling.A detailed report of a Treasury agent, who has been working up the matter for some time, will be produced before the committee.It will be shown, it is claimed, that Collector Bell has been receiving $4,000 or $5,000 a year from the Canadian railroads, chiefly for services relating to the international trade of these roads.The collector will be summoned to appear before the committee.Assistant Secretary of Treasury French will also be called upon to explain certain rulings relating to fees from the sale of Customs blanks.WHOLESALE MARKETS.BOTTLES.\u2014Market is quiet and firm in prices.Best samples, $5.50 to $6, and culls, $5 to $5.50.COAL.\u2014Scotch steam scarce and held at

SKINS\u2014There has been comparatively little movement in imported hides during the week, the current usiness being represented by a few car loads.Western markets have been weak and lower, which change has been reflected here, sales having heen made at a substantial decline on last weeks prices.We quote No.1 9%c@10e and No.2 about 8c.Stocks are fair in amount, but no augmenied moyerttnt is anticipated till the labour difficulties are adjusted.A moderate business has been done in green butchers hides at $8, $7 and $6, for Nos.1, 2 and 3 respectively.Sheepskins continue firm at $1 each, and calfskins steady at 12c.IRON AND HARDWARE-\u2014The pig iron market has heen devoid of new features and is without animation, dealers being indifferent about taking orders on account of stock taking.Stocks of such brands as Gartsherrie and Summerlee are | well under control and $26 is the figure now demanded.We quote $26 for No.1 leading brands, and $22.50 @ $23 for Eglinton.Scotch warrants are cabled steady at 48s 6d.Stocks in Connal\u2019s yards are decreasing at about the rate of 2,000 tons a week.The foreign demand shows a marked improvement over last year, the shipments being 25 per cent.greater which tends to reduce stocks.On the other side a general feeling prevails that at present prices the production of iron is unremunerative, in proof of which it may be stated that none of the joint stock companies have paid a dividend this year.This fact speaks for itself, but it is vet doubtful what effect will be produced on the market.The trade in bar iron bas been confined to small parcels on a nominal basis of $2.25.Sheets and boiler plate are unchanged at $2.75 and hoops and bands at $2.50.The tinplates market has been without positive change, I.Ccharcoals going slowly at $5.25 and cokes at $4.40 @ $4.50.It has long been known that tinplates were being produced under cost, which has culminated in the recent heavy failures in Eu.land, where some 67 works have suspended during the last tem days.But whether this market will undergo any change therefore, is yet a matter of conjecture.Canada plates are dull and nominal, the season being virtually over.We quote $3.15 for Penn.and equal.Ingot tin has again receded, the latest cable being £93, a decline of £2 5s during the week.In this market a weak feeling has prevailed, and sales were made at 23%c, a decline of 1c since our last report.Copper is cabled steady at £73 10: for best selected ingots.Here the market is dull but steady at 19%e to 20c.A small movement in lead is reported at easier prices, we quote 4c.The market for spelter is firm, with business at 43c@se.LIQUORS AND WINES\u2014Continue in good demand for all kinds.Ports and sherries are in demand and gins and brandies move out very freely.LEATHER.\u2014Investigation into the general situation in the leather market oes not result in the discovery of any essentially new features, the obstacles in the way of business being much the same as last week.Manufacturers, we understand, have resolved to maintain the lockout until January 8, and this virtually insures a chill market for a week or two.Holders are able to furnish stock when required, but deem it the safest polic not to urge sales, having decided to adapt themselves to the present special circumstances of the market.Prices are quoted unchanged for the leading lines.No I Spanish sole 26c@27¢c; No.2 24c@25c; No.I China 23c@24c; No.2 2lc@22c; English sole, 46c@48c; No.1 Buflalo 22¢ @23c: No.2 20c@2le; No.1 slaughter 27¢/@28¢; rough hide for belting, 32c@ 34c;

week, the disposition to purchase being based on the actual re- wrement principle for consumption, ealers, however, believe the conditions favour higher prices, but this dues not serve to stimulate the demand.We quote car lots 19¢@194c; broken lots, 20e, and single barrels 204c@21c.The New York market for crude is quiet at 73c@73c, refined is quoted at 74c@7c.Latest juo- tations from foreign

half-chests from 32c @ 38c.PRODUCE ARD PROVISIONS.MoNTREAL, December 20.Frour.\u2014The flour market keeps very dull, and the inclination to shade prices incident to a period of apathy is apparent, but transactions are not extensive \u2018enough to furnish ground for changing quotations.On Change there was nothing doing outside of a very small local demand.Reported sales were 50 brls superior extra at $4.85, and 50 brls fine at $3.90.Our quotations are nominally unchanged as follows: \u2014 Superior Extra, perbrl.$4.85 @ $4.90 Extra Superfins.ce 4.75@ 480 Fancy.\u2026.- 0.00 @ 0.00 Spring

market, the most unfavourable feature of which is the difficulty in precuring freight.Buyers are slow to bid even low .figures, and unanimously refuse to ope- ate.Our quotations are nominaliy repeated as follow: \u2014Canada red winter wheat, $1.07@1.08; Canada white, $1.03 @ 1,04; Canada spring, $1.05 @ 1.06.Peas are completely neglected and ryminally quoted at 89c@90c, with buyers some distance below: Oats are steady at 34c/@35¢.Barley is nominally quoted at 50c@60c.Rye is offered at 58c@60c, with 55c bid.The Chicago wheat market to-day did not deviate much from the firmer tone manifested yesterday, though December closed #e lower at 92ÿc.The latter options, however, were strong, and closed ic @jc higher at 93}c January, 93%c February.The corn market was strong.December attracted considerable attention and bulged 2}c, mainly from a coverin \u2018demand from the \u201cshorts.\u201d January an Februa y were strong, and closed jc up at 60%c.Oats were also on the upward tack, December closing 14c higher at 391c; other options gained je@4c, and closed at 36;c January, 35fc February.The estimated receipts for to-morrow were 73 cars spring wheat, 27 winter, 364 corn, 130 oats, 25 barley, and 19 rye.Wheat in New York was stronger, moving up jc to jc, and closing at $1.094 December, $1.09§ January, $1.12 February, $1.14 March.Corn was active aud stronger for the further options but weaker on December which closed 4c lower at 71}c.The other options advanced fc @ jc, closing at 66ic January, 654c February; 643c March, 64c April, 63ic May.The sales on the last call were 600,000 bushels wheat, and 1,300,000 corn.Ocean grain freights were a trifle easier at 63d per bushel by steam to Liverpool.Beerbohlm\u2019s cable advices of to-day\u2019- date report the British markets as follow: Cargoes off coast, wheat very few bids in market.Do.corn, nothing offering.Cargoes on passsage and for shipment, wheat very dull.~ Liverpool wheat, spot, slow; do.corn,

58s 3d; pork, prime mess, Eastern, 94s; do, Western, 88s.The Pennsylvania Board of Agriculture makes the following estimate of crops for 1882: Wheat 22.425,000 bush; corn, 39,- 875,000 bush; oats, 34,580,000 bush; rye, 5,805,000 bush; potatoes, 13,760,000 bush; tobacco, 28,750,000 lbs.The Bombay Gazette of October \u2018says that fully 60 per cent of this year\u2019s wheat crop still remains up country, excessive railway charges forming an excessive barrier to its being sent to the seaboard.The receipts of the Great Indian Peninsular Railroad have, in consequence, fallen off, and, more than that, frem the exporters point of view as well as from the point of view of the creditors of \u2018India abroad, the peasants are said to be discouraged by the bad results of their labour from sowing wheat largely in the coming season.As near as we can estimate, it takes about as mueh to bring a ton of Indian wheat, some 800 miles inland, to the seaboard, as it takes to bring the same weight all the way from Chicago to Liverpool.Taking into account the fact that the foreign merchant pays the Indian cultivator practically what pleases himself, this excessive disproportion may be stood in seasons when the price of wheat is comparatively high but in a year like the present, when prices are low, the exporter cannot afford to pay the Indian peasant, plus the excessive railway charges, so he lets the wheat alone, Presently, perhaps, the railway managers will see oh lowering their charges; and then,-though their profits be less for a time, trade may be resumed again, Provisions \u2014 The local hog product market retains former dull features intact, the only impertant transaction we hear of being a car-load of western mess pork at $21.50.The demand for lard continues most unsatisfactory, the move- mement being exceedingly circumscribed.Dressed hogs are in fair request at $8 @ $3.25 according to size of lot.We quote :\u2014 Western Mess.susanscts - 00.00 @ 21.50 Thin

and by this the whole Dominion has profitted.It may be that profitting by the experience of Canada and by that of other countries some time back, it was resolved upon as the policy of the German Empire that the channel of the Weser between Bremerhaven and Bremen should be improved ; but it is only now that we learn the work is to be vigourously prosecuted.We are not informed of the extent to which the channel is to be deepened; but, we muy rest assured that the authorities with the vigour and energy which characterizes them will see to it that what is done is of a serviceable character.They will not we think construct a mere ditch to accommodate vessels of the most moderate tonnage; but will design it to be ample for the present, and with every facility for further enlargement hereafter.The deepening of the St.Lawrence channel has been proceeded with by stages ;it has been performed faithfully and well, and to this the country is indebted for the steady and substantial advancement which has been made.Without the port of Montreal where would the cities of Ontario be?Where would be their prosperity?Had they been compelled to be dependent on the port of Quebec is it likely that those citieswould have progressed at the rate which has been theirs?Railroads or no railroads, experience has shown that.freight always takes the cheapest routes.Viewed in that light the railways cannot compete with the waterways, though, on the other side, owing to the immense amount of business done over them, the railway competition and the rivalry with Canada has been 50 keen as to induce the adoption by the State of New York of the Free Canal Constitutional Amendment, necessitating, on our part, similar action, From an English contemporary we condense the following review of the situation in Europe as between railways and canals which will, we think, afford some ground for the reflection of our readers.\u201cIt is somawhat remarkable to find how attention from all directions is being turned toward the lately discarded canal system of transport.The introduction of the iron roadways caused the once popular waterways to be deserted, but now people are beginning to discover that they were over hasty in believing that the transport system of the future would be monopolized by the railway.The reaction in favour of canals that has set inis becoming more pronounced every day.Apart from the ship canals that are being made in various parts of the world, with a view to shorten the routes between certain places, during the ast year a large number of schemes have been set on foot for the development of in- Jand water-courses to make them navigable by vessels of large tonnage, The Liverool and Manchester Canal scheme has been roved feasible, and the works will probably be commenced inside two years, tor the six millions that it will cost cannot be regarded as an obstacle.In France £40,000,000 has recently been voted by the Parliament for inland canal isation works, and it is thought that at least five times that sum will have been spent upon such works before the system of inland water carriage in the country has been completed.Additional canals, we learn from Engineering, are likewise in course of construction or projected in Belgium, a country well adapted y nature for such works.Then, going into Prussia, we find that there is a speed beginning with the canal scheme, which aims at connecting the Rhine, the Weser, and the Elbe, at an estimated cost of £7,- 000,000.In Russia, amoung other public works about to be undertaken at the expense of the State, is another great canal scheme, which proposes connecting the rivers Dneister and Vistula, so as to bring the ports of Odessa and Dantzic into direct communication.One of the probabilities of the next few years is an Egyptian pro- Ject\u2014namely, à great inland waterway to rival the Suez Canal; and a ship canal through the Isthmus of Panama may be regarded as one of the certainties of the immediate future.More or less similar Southern Europe, Southern Asia, &c., 80 that it is evident that canals, so far from having had their day, are on the fair way to attain a position they have never yet held even in the days before the locomotive was thought of.\u201d If these canal facilities have been proven to be essential in Europe as national works, to a great extent for their own accommodation, how much more necessary are not the most improved facilities required by us whose mission it is to divide with a far larger and wealthier country the trade of the continent ! If, for instance, Germany feels compelled to bring ocean vessels up to Bremen, actually building therefor an almost new channel, would it not be folly on our part not te en deavour to maintain the supremacy of the St.Lawrence route of which our rivals are seeking te deprive us?It cannot be doubted that Montreal is an ocean port, and tho one which is nearest to the point of production of exports and of the consumption of imports.If the trade is to be diverted from Montreal, where is it to go ?The \u2018Hamilton Spectator seems to be the most exercised of all our Canadian contemporaries over the subject of freeing the canals, and of making Montreal a free port.It says :-\u2014 \u2018\u2018 To consumers of the goods it makes no difference whether the exchange is made at Montreal, Quebec, Tadousac, Rimouski, or any one of half a dozen ports.The traffic seeks Montreal now because the merchants are there, the storehouses, banks, and other facilities for business.Trade is slow to move out of its accustomed channels; and the enterprise of Montreal merchants, backed by large expenditures of Government money, has so far succeeded in bringing ocean ships up to the foot of Lachine rapids.\u201d .In the event of the exchange of goods being made at Quebec, Tadousac or Rimouski, additional handling would be required.At Montreal the cargo can be loaded direct for the other side the Atlantic without the lighterage that would be required to make the voyage to Quebec, supposing that the water route were taken.The imports, too, at Montreal find a port further inland than any other which they can reach.In a word the incoming and return cargo meet each other at the most eligible point there is in the Domi.ion, being also here supplied with all the required railway facilities.Our eon- temporary declares ¢ without contradiction that the St.Lawrence route has enormous advantages over any other.The distance is less, the canalage is less, the lockage is less.\u201d And yet, satisfied with this for the present, it ignores the fact that the world moves, and asks \u201cif the route is infinitely superior to its rivals, and if the port is the natural port for that route, why is the Government asked for other millions of money?Why paint the rose or add a perfume to the violet?Why add perfection to that which is already perfect?\u201d Hamilton was accustomed to boast of what she was as she stood in Burlington Bay at the head of Lake Ontario.Has mot she progressed ! Are not her buildings and her manufactures an improvement on what they were years ago?Have her citizens displayed no enterprise?Have they not painted their rose and perfumed their violet?Have they or have they not endeavoured to keep pace with the times.They admit that Montreal \u201cwas the natural port in older days.Then the largest ships-navigat- ing the ocean could reach its wharves.But vhey can do go no longer.\u201d Because other cities have become Hamilton's commercial rivals have the Hamilton merchants given up all hope of doing business, have they folded their arms and allowed others to have it all their own way?Montreal, as we have proved out of the mouth of our contemporary, was the port of the Dominion.There was no change in her position.The times will not accommodate themselves to her and therefore the Dominion must bear their share of the expense of fitting her to meet the exigencies of the changed situation.The position that it is admitted Montreal bore to the Dominion she still bears and must ever bear, unless ocean navigation can be extended to the foot of the Rocky Mountains.THE London Imes thus alludes to the late Archbishop of Canterbury :\u2014\u201c Archbishops of Canterbury have been chosen before now chiefly on account of their possession of the negative virtue of being able to do nothing and to seem wise.Tait was chosen for other and higher qualities than.these ; at anyrrate, if he was not chosen for them, he certainly possessed and exhibited them.Alike in his personal character and in his public career he furnished a bright example of what the Church of England can be at its best.Manly piety and unfailing kindliness of disposition, commanding intelligence and statesmanlike breadth of view, untiring industry in spite of bodily weakness, and cheerful patience under heavy sorrows, à charity which knew no bounds and a fairness of mind which did full justice to all antagonists\u2014these, combined with a judgment so trained in great affairs and grave responsibilities that it was very seldom at fault, are qualities rare in any man, and rarer still, perhaps, in an Archbishop of Canterbury.There have been, no doubt, more brilliant occupants of the Archiepiscopal throne.There have been men whose lives fill a more striking page in history.But Tait has stood at the helm in troublous times; he has steered the ship past many a storm, and he leaves it in comparatively tranquil waters, We may be entering on totally new phases, and the good and the evil of the future is, as he said, far beyond our ken.But whatever of good or evil the future may have in store for the Church, she may confidently reckon on being able to secure the one and overcome the other so long as she can produce such men as the late\u2019 Archbishop of Canterbury.\u201d \u2014_\u2014 en THE address of the British Associated Chambers of Commerce to Mr.Gladstone, recommending the appointment of a Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, shows that present conditions differ so render considerable departmental rearrangements necessary.À general feeling prevails that the statistical work of the embrace agriculture, trade, manufactures, shipping, and money in all their branches, the statistics on these subjects now published failing to give a sufficiently comprehensive representation of the aggregate of British industry.It is set forth that a feeling of uneasiness exists that questions affecting commercial relations with foreign countries, and even with Iudia and the colonies, are not unfrequently subordinated to political, financial, or colonial considerations.Especial stress is laid on the importance of the proper collection and collation of commercial statistics, and strong pressure is being exercised to secure the object aimed at.In Canada we are now agitating for the establishment of a department for the collection of vital statistics.There is an analogy between the cases, even if we take no higher ground than the commercial value of human life.T > MR.Justice BARRETT, of New York, recently gave utterance to sentiments of judicial sympathy which are highly commendable.His remarks were so perti- \u2018nent as to evoke from the New York Telegraph the following : \u201cVery pertinent are the remarks which Judge Barrett has just made in regard to a case in which the virtue of a poor girl, compelled to work at very low wages, is concerned.He referred emphatically to the low atmosphere of vulgar animality running through it, and to the cheapness wit which female virtue and honour had been treated.His remarks derive fresh importance from the fact that the peculiar phase of immorality referred to is one to which the starvation wages whereat many poor girls are compelled to work peculiarly expose them, especially when they are in the employ of vicious men.It is very desirable that a judge should think it not beneath his dignity to speak with emotion in vindication and admiration of charity, even when the victim is merely an obscure factory girl condemned to harsh warfare in the battle of life.\u201d tt ren tnt ES THE streets of New York are now being utilized by companies engaged in laying steampipes for the distribution of steam, operations which it appears are not unaccompanied with danger to the publig inasmuch as accidents are frequently occurring owing to the giving way of bad metal.The vapour bursts through causing showers of stones and dirt which in their descent come very near breaking the heads of pedestrians, creating much fright, doing a great deal of damage, and worse than all, exposing all passers-by to considerable risk.Nobody\u2019s life is safe around these explosive points, and the people who are compelled by their business to remain in the vicinity all day long are sincerely to be pitied.There is hardly another instance of a so-called advance in civilization being accomplished by such barbarous methods.L\u2019Officiel, of Paris, publishes a decree appointing a Commission, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs as its chairman, to examine into the propriety of creating a Minister of Colonies.This Commission includes ten members of Parliament ;

still to the fore, and when called upon, stand rhoulder to shoulder with those who now actively represent those who bore the brunt of the raising of the corps, and its labours from 1861 to 1866.The Vic\u2019s are still the \u2018\u201c pets\u201d of Montreal, and no one could deny this who was present last night at the Armory, in the old High School building.The scene on entering the main room was a most picturesque one, aud quite indescribable.Much labour, thought and good taste were displayed at all points.The decorations were in keeping with the place, and the arrangements of the several stalls could not have been more comfortable for those whogwished to see all the costly, handsome and choice articles laid out on the tables for inspection and sale.We shall attempt no detailed account of all the beautiful things we saw, but merely say to those who desire to make a useful as well as a pretty Christmas present to visit the Vics\u2019 fair and they will not fail to get an article to suit and at a reasonable price.The several stalls are ranged round the hall, numbering from No.1 on the right as one enters to No.6, which occupies the west end.At No.1 Company (Captain C.Radigers), the visitor becomes at once interested in the numerous beautiful articles displayed, all of a most use ful character, especially a handsome chair which wiil be raffled for at the close.The ladies waiting here are Mrs.Radiger, Mrs.Hunt, Misses Snowdon, Ida Stewart, McIntyre, Gardner and Hunt.Between this table and No.2 is a post office, where tie duties are faithfully carried out by a couple of pretty postmistresses, though the rates of postage are exhorbitanatly large.No.2 Company (Capt.Ahern\u2019s) table is also well stocked with choice nick-nacks, which are sold repidi under the persuading influence of Mrs.Logan, Misses Baillie, Logan, Laidlaw, Watkins, Mrs.Stokes and Bowden.No.3 Company\u2019s (Capt.Fred.Henshaw) tables are waited upon by a galaxy of beauty, dressed in \u2018the charming costumes of Normandy peasants, The tables are loaded down with everything that the greatest conniseur in art could wish for, and sold rapidly.The ladies at these tables were Mrs.Rockwood, Misses Davidson, Hutton, Aldwell.Stanley, Hodgson, Stephen, Ferrier, Louson, Slater, Maxwell, Smith and White.No.4 Compauy\u2019s (Captain Belcher\u2019s) table is most unique, and the most striking in the fair, having for its canopy a gigantic Chinese umbrella, from which are trained garlands of smilax and roses.The costly bijouterie and pictures here are looked at and dearly purchased by lovers of art.The ladies who wait on the wants of purchasers here are Mrs.C.Davidson, Misses Ogilvie, Ives, Doucet, Plimsoll, Belcher and Kelly.No.5 Company\u2019s table is also well laid out and presents an oriental appearance from its innumerable Persian rugs, mats and carpets hung around.Here are to be found Mrs.Anderson, Misses Clark, Walker Douglas, Kirby, Luddington, Miller, Mercer, Ross, Holcombe, Foote, Dillon, MeGee and Ansley attentively working for the benefit of their pet defenders the Vics.No.6 Company (Capt.Try-Davis\u2019) table which is under the care of Mrs.E.A.Whitehead is filled like the rest of the stalls with a choice selection of articles of vertu.The youug ladies at this table are dressed a la militaire in Vic's body tunies and cross belts, and look most charming amazons Theyare Mrs.H.Abbett, Mrs.J.A.Gordon Misses Harrison, Dawson and Graham.The receipts yesterday were very large, but to day it 1s thought they will be larger.and we trust 50, for the old \u201c Vie\u2019s,\u201d on their 21st year, deserve a handsome present from our citizens for the many services they have rendered.The side shows are all doing well.There is the gypsy encampment, where wonderful fortunes are told by pretty Romanies ; the art gallery, where Millais, Landseer, and other artists are put in the shade; then there is the fish pond and the shooting gallery, where some good luck comes to all.One of the most novel features of the Fair is the voting on the ugliest officer of the cofps.At the close last night the vote stood as follows :\u2014

the parish was free from debt, and that by the 1st of May it would be able to show a clear balance sheet.The general opinion of the meeting seemed to be in favour of continuing the work of the parish, and making every effort to remain \u2018independent.After a good deal of discussion a motion was unanimously passed appointing Messrs.J.G.Shacdell and Ww.ardsell, the churchwardens,W.R.Salter and T.Lamb, the delegates to Synod, and Mr.H.J.Dart, a Committee.to ask some clergyman to take the parish, with power to make all necessary arrangements.The Congregation seem quite united, and determined to continue the parish in its present independent state.fie understood that by the kindness of Principal Henderson, the students of the Diocesan College will conduct the services of the Church.THE WINTER CARNIVAL.MEETING OF THE BALL MUSIC AND PRINTING COMMITTEE.A meeting of the Music and Printing sub-committee of the Ball Committee was held last evening at the Windsor Hotel.Mr.J.S.McLennan presided, and there was a full attendance of members.The business before the meeting was the consideration of the details of the proposed musical programme and the arrangement of the dancing.These were both fully discussed.A number of very artistic programmes, sent in by various city printers, were submitted to the Committee, but it was decided to call for tenders, in the hope that something of a special character, dis- tinetly appropriate to the occasion, will be sent in.A sub-committee was appointed to arrange for the orchestra and the minor details of the Ball.The Committee then adjourned.NOTES.The price of tickets for the ball was erroneously stated by us the other day.The revised terms are: \u2014Ticket for lady and gentleman, $10; gentleman\u2019s ticket, $8 ; lady\u2019s ticket, $4, and admission to the gallery, $3.\u2019 The Executive Committee meets tonight at the Windsor at 8.There willlalso be meetings of the Ice Palace, Curling, Driving and other Committees, in accordance with notices issued by the Secretary.The meeting of the Ball Invitation Su Committee called for to-night has been postponed until to-morrow (Friday) at 8 clock, The subscriptions to date amount to $3,700.GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY.FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD.The Chief of Police received by the English mail yesterday a circular from Mr.George Williams, Chief Superintendent of Police, Liverpool, England, containing the information of a great diamond robbery.It seems that the diamonds were Ina paper parcel about 64 inches long, 44 wide, and 14 to 2 inches deep, and were consigned to a parly in New York from Paris, via Liverpool.The \u2018parcel must have been stolen some time between October 31st and November 12th, as on the former date they were given into the hands of the forwarders, and the loss was discovered on the latter day.There were twenty-six lots in the parcel, twenty- three of which were composed of brilliants, and the remainder mixed jewels, were numbered from 1453 to 1478 inclusive, and embraceffrom 5} carats to 61ÿ carats.Mr.V.I.Verbraeker, of 16 Castle street, Liverpool, England, agent of the Paris underwriters, will pay the sum of £500 sterling for information leading to the recovery of the property or the apprehension of the thief or thieves.Epps\u2019s Cocoa\u2014GRATEFUL AND Cox- FORTING.\u2014\u2018\u201c By a thorough knowledge of the

and which will enable vessels to take fair cargoes without being overloaded.The \u201c Plimsoll Mark,\u201d in some cases, hag not prevented vessels from being overloaded, placed as it is on the vessel's side by the owners or captains without restriction, except by the seamen on signing articles, who, as a rule, understand very little about the freeboard a vessel ought to have.mportant a matter as the freeboard of a vessel undoubtedly ls, the securing of the cargo is quite as important.A number of vessels have been lost this fall, in some cases none of the crew being left to tell the tale, as in the case of the steamship \u201c Lord Nelson,\u201d lately lost in the Bay of Biscay while on a voyage from the Black Sea.I have no doubt the survivors, had there been any, would have had the same story to reldte as the only survivors of the steamship \u201c Winton,\u201d also lostsin the Bay of Biscay from the Black Sea, in November last.He relates how the vessel experienced a violent gale \u201cfrom the North-West with heavy sea ; shortly afterwards the cargo shifted, the vessel fell over on her beam ends, and afterwards foundered, he being the only one saved.No sooner do the October gales commence than news comes daily of the ill- fated vessels, and of others which have gone down at sea.Three thousand lives more or less are lost at sea every year, 2,780 being the number for the year ending June 1881.This Fall there has been as many lives lost at ses as there would be in a large colliery accident, and people scarcely think about it, perhaps as some say, \u201csailors are used to it\u201d but when we think of the number of widows and children left to struggle on alone, without their breadwinners, I think in the interests of humanity, compulsory rules for the loading of vessels ought to be universally adopted, the present rules in many ports not being stringent enough, and even what rules there are being seldom attended to.To show that losses to a certain extent are preventable, I may mention that not | a single loss through over-loading or bad- storage has occurred from the Port of Montreal during the last ten years, and I have no doubt that if the Montreal rules were universally adopted, and disinterssted men employed to see them carried out, many valuable lives would be spared.Enclosed I forward you an extract from Shield\u2019s Gazette giving an account by the only survivor of the loss of the 8, S.\u201c Winton.\u201d Yours truly, MasTER MARMIER.Montreal, December 2, 1883.XMAS PILLOW LETTER MISSION FOR HOSPITALS AND ASYLUMS.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD : SIR,\u2014Will you allow me to call attention to the \u201cXmas Letter Mission,\u201d in these glad and festive times, which bring joy to so many homes, and in which we are called to consider the self-sacrificing love of Him whose advent has dowered our lives with all His blessings, We are sure the Christian public will not fail to remember the lonely and suffering in our Modpitals and institutions amid their domestic joy.The Secretary has to thank those friends all over the country who have responded to the former appeal.A considerable sum is yet required to enable the missionto give æ souvenir of Christian sympathy to those oft forgotten and suffering ones, who languish in our institutions.Let such as would like to aid in working gladsome emotions in the bosoms of distress, not fail to send in thir donations to Miss Douglass, General Secretary- Treasurer, 1,693 St.Catherine street.Yours truly, Montreal, Dec., 20, 1882.CIVIC AFFAIRS.ROAD COMMITTEE.A special meeting of the Road Committee was held yesterday afternoon, when there were present Ald.Laurent, Chairman; Grenier, Hood, Kennedy, Proctor, dJeannotte, Hagar, Robert, Donovan, Roy, Beausoleil, Thos.Wilson.APPOINTMENT OF SECRETARY AND ACCOUNTANT.A long discussion took place regarding the best manner in which to choose the employes of the department, whether by promoting persons already in the department, or by taking in outsiders.On motion of Ald.Jeannotte it was resolved that the Committee continue to choose as previously from outsiders and also that all employes of the department be obliged to speak both French and English.\u2018The Committee then proceeded to open the applications for the vagant secretaryship and accountantcy of the department.There were fourteen applicants for the former and eleven for the latter position.+A! very long discussion ensued between the rench and English members, as to the proportion of French Canadian employes in the department.The wrangle over the merits of the respective candidates continued for over two hours, Ald.Jeannotte and Robert.being the speakers for the greater part of that time, urging the claims of the French Canadians to consideration.After some further time had been spent in the-same useless\u2018way, it was resolved on ,motion of Ald.Hood to appoint Mr.P.O\u2019Reilly as secretary, and Mr.R.J.Rod- \u2018den, accountant, Afd.Robert then made a motion asking for the appointments to be subject to the ratification of Council, which was lost.Ald.Jeannotte then made another protest.against the appointments of Englishspeaking people, which was recorded in the minutes.After the transaction of some routine business the méeting adjourned.A \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 COUNTY OF HOCHELAGA AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, \\ ANNUAL MEETING.The annual meeting of the County of Hochelaga Society was held at the Canada Hotel, St.Gabriel street,at noon yesterday.The President of the Society, Mr.Joseph Brousseau, occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance of members, among whom were Messrs.Thomas Irving, James Henderson, (eo.Buchanan, Lapointe, P.Gagnon, W.Evans, Hugh Brodie, and many others.After routine business, the Secretary- Treasurer, Mr.H.Brodie, read his annual fe which showed a very satisfactor ale of affairs.It referred to the fall \u2018show of cattle, the spring exhibition of horses, the annual loughing magch on the farm of Mr.Geo.Buchanan, Cote St, Michel, and other matters.At the proughing ,match prizes were offered by Ir.A.Desjardins, M.P., Hon.Louis Beaubien, M.P.P., the Local and Federal members for the county.His Worship Mayor opposite \u201c View t -each tenant.for ploughing match, $108 ;

Cleves is certainly an actress of great ability, and her talents as * Mercy errick\u201d found am room for display.The roleis a most difficult one indeed to assume, a8 it presents more than one phase of character, and requires the\u2019 expression of much passion and feeling.In face of great difficulties in the way of a successful pourtrayal, despite ti.e many requirements necessary to an effective and correct impersonation.Miss Cleves achieved a decided triumph.The frequent bursts of applause from the audjence testified their acknowledgement of this fact.\u201d THEATRE ROYAL.\u20ac¢

choruses, topeail halyard choruses, songs, dances, and sailors\u2019 amusements comprise the programme, and, as the Bos\u2019n has a well-trained cre, an enjoyable evening may be assured.NORDHEIMER\u2019S HALL.M, G.A\u2019S, CONCERT.The first annual concert, given by the non-commissioned officers of the Montreal Garrison Artillery, took place last evening in the above hall, and was very largely attended,mand proved to be both artistically and financially a grand success.The overture was capitally played by the band, after which came the opening remarks by Brigade Sergeant-Major W.J.Pendleton, who, in the course of his speech, said some people in England had found fault with the team, who had gone across the Atlantic, of having been composed of both regulars and volunteers, but the next time another team is called upon to go to England to compete, it will be composed of volunteers only, and he, the speaker, felt sure of bringing a prize to Canada.As is usual iu the regular army the officers of the brigade were all present, and sang a chorus, entitled \u201cCanada,\u201d by Hatton, in very good style,and were loudly applauded.Miss McGarry\u2019s readings were well rendered and.she was encored.The Harmony Quartette replaced the Weber Quartette, who were unavoidedly prevented from appearing, but the audience did not lose much, as the Harmony gave ample justice to what they had undertaken to sing, and they had to respond to several encores.\u2018A flute solo, ¢ Mary Blane,\u201d by Drum Major F.Smith, was well executed, and he had to repeat it Miss Crompton\u2019s songs, \u201cHeart, whence thy Joy and Sorrow\u201d and \u201cDeep in my Heart,\u201d were very well received by tbe audience.The feature of the evening was the bayonet exercise, which took place between the first and second parts of the programme.The squad, under command of Major Atkinson, deserve credit for the manner in which thep performed the different manceuvres, notwithstanding that the stage was rather small for bayonet exer cise.Battery Sergeant Major J.Hibbins sang with his usual ability, a comic song which brought down the house,and had to respond to several encores.The other pieces on the programme were also well rendered, and the concert came to a close by the band playmg \u201cGod Save the Queen.\u201d Professor James Wilson presided at the piano.The Committee of management are to be congratulated on the success of their entertainment, and we hope that the Garrison Artillery will continue to give such concerts as the one given last night.SPORTING INTELLIGENCE The ice yachtsmen of New Hamburg and Poughkeepsie, New York, are making extensive preparations for the opening of the season.The fleet of the New Hamburg Club consists

is not expected to recover, being hurt interna).ly.The other sustained a fracture of his left arm, and had three teeth knocked out.THE ENJOYMENT OF EATING AND DRINKING AND ITS PENAL TLES.We need not state that volumes have been written upon the above subject since the days of the renowned bon vivant, Cornaro, down to the latest treatise designed to enable us to judge for ourselves in the - appropriateness of our habitual eating and drinking.It is impossible to deny the great utility of such information; but, unfortunately, mankind 1n general lends a deaf ear to warnings when the tastes and the passions are in question.Asthe world wags, we fear the people would continue to eat and drink just according to their taste and humor for a long time yet to come, especially when they find that, by a timely recourse to some such medicine as Holloway\u2019a Pills, they can easily and readily get rid of all the constitutional disorders caused by over-feeding and intemperance, a few of these Pills sufficing in the majority of instance to set a man all right \u201d over night to begin his day of labour, after having yielded to the temptation of what is technical'y called \u201ca, blow out.\u201d No doubt your soda-water or citrate of magnesia may seem to be equally effective, but, unfortunately, in very many cases much more requires to be done than can be effected by these otherwise very pleasant and saline libations.All over-feeding\u2014every act of intemperance\u2014must necessary contaminate the blood, and the vitiated blood must necessarily impair every organ through which it flows.Now, in order to correct this effect, a radical remedy is required, and such is that invented by Holloway, whose Pills, as we have stated, have superseded almost every other * corrective\u2019 or \u201c\u201c alterative \u201d of the old school, Perhaps this results, not only from the power of their purifying agency, but also from their gentle and almost imperceptible regenerating action\u2014without any inconvenience in the general routine of life\u2014requiring no extraordinary precautions to prevent \u201c\u2018 catching cold \u201d or morbid reactions.If report be correct, no medicine stands in higher repute at our fashionable clubs and officers\u2019 quarters than Holloway\u2019s Pills, although very few of the patients can allow their gratitude to admit the fact in return for the benefit .\u20147 he Adviser.TOOKE\u2019S CHRISTMAS GIFTS! 1 The largest assortment of suitable Christmas Gifts in the city to select from at prices that defy
